"Foolish humans, don't think that just because you've broken through the Nightmare Mist, you can defeat me. In the end, the outcome will always be the same!"
"Demon Flame Refines the Heavens!"
A burst of milky-white flames erupted from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, then swiftly swept away, engulfing the entire world in the blink of an eye, like a fiery prison that enveloped everyone inside.
Four enormous, milky-white curtains of fire poured down from the sky, eventually connecting to the Magma Sea below, resembling a four-sided prison connecting heaven and earth when viewed from afar.
The group huddled together, their faces grave as they looked around. They could feel an extremely terrifying temperature rapidly spreading as the prison took shape.
"This Purifying Lotus Demon Flame wants to refine us all..."
Gu Nanhai said with a solemn expression.
"The power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is extremely terrifying. Right now, it is probably equivalent to a peak five-star Dou Sheng Expert. Coupled with the demon flame's strange abilities, it can even fight against Six Star Dou Sheng. No one here can surpass its strength..."
"Peak of Five Stars..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. There is a huge gap between each level of Dou Sheng, especially since the opponent's true form is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which ranks third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as everyone was on guard, a series of low explosions suddenly came from not far behind. When everyone turned around, they saw figures suddenly exploding into clouds of blood mist without warning. The blood mist was instantly vaporized by the terrifying heat.
The sudden explosion and death immediately caused panic among many people. They clearly had not seen any attack launched, so what was going on with these people?
However, as their panic intensified, more and more figures exploded out of thin air. The deep, resounding thuds echoed endlessly, sending chills down the spines of those who heard them. This invisible and colorless method of killing was utterly terrifying...
"Be careful! The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is extremely strange; it can use a person's emotions as a trigger to set them ablaze. If you don't want to die, don't have any wild thoughts!"
As many powerful individuals died and chaos spread, a knowledgeable person finally shouted out.
Hearing the shout, the remaining people hurriedly suppressed their emotional fluctuations and tried their best to remain calm. The constant self-destruction gradually subsided.
"These people don't even deserve to be my Fire Slave..."
Seeing this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame merely shook its head, indifferently raised its eyes, and said in a cold and eerie voice, "Below the Dou Sheng level, explode!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The moment the last word "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame" faded, the entire sky descended into chaos. Nearly 80% of the Dou Zun expert had traveled to the Demon Flame Space were instantly and bizarrely exploded, as if explosives had been planted within their bodies...
"This guy's methods are terrifying..."
Looking at the sky where more than half of the people had disappeared in the blink of an eye, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. No one felt a trace of sorrow for the dead, after all, it was their own doing.
Such a divine treasure as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame must be obtained by the capable; the weak without strength are not worthy of touching it.
Since they dared to come and fight for it, they have no one to blame but themselves for their unfortunate deaths.
"Well, only those who remain are qualified to become Fire Slave..."
Looking at the now much emptier sky, a smile finally appeared on the handsome face of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. With a wave of his hand, ten pillars of magma shot out from the Magma Sea below. Immediately, the magma exploded, and ten figures dressed in milky-white fire armor appeared around him.
"Fire Slave!"
"They're all... at the level of Dou Sheng!"
Looking at the ten empty-eyed figures, everyone present gasped. Without exception, all of these Fire Slave reached the level of Dou Sheng. The strongest of them actually possessed the strength of Late Three-Star Dou Saint!
Faced with the grand gesture of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, everyone present paused slightly, and then their brows slowly furrowed.
"Every time I tear the seal, many overconfident fools rush in, but unfortunately, they all end up becoming my most obedient Fire Slave..." The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame smiled at everyone and said softly, "This time, my collection is destined to be much richer."
"Call..."
A lineup consisting of a Dou Sheng with strength approaching six stars and ten Dou Sheng with strength between one and three stars is not an easy task to deal with.
"Everyone, whatever grudges we may have against each other, this time, if we want to survive and defeat the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, we must join forces!"
At this moment, Hun Miesheng stepped out from the Hun Clan camp, his gaze fixed on the direction where those powerful individuals were located. Huo Yao, Gu Nanhai, and Yao Wangui were all among the strongest people here. If they refused to join forces, things would become much more troublesome.
Upon hearing Hun Miesheng's words, many powerful figures' eyes flickered. Hun Miesheng was the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, and the Soul Hall's fearsome reputation was too great in the Central Plains. No one had ever imagined joining forces with these guys...
Seeing everyone's silence, Hun Miesheng wasn't surprised. He said calmly, "Hurry up and consider it. Of course, if anyone is confident enough to deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame alone, I guarantee I won't interfere..."
"Although your Hun Clan has a bad reputation, what you said makes some sense. It seems that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame doesn't want us to leave easily..."
Huo Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke first, choosing to join forces with them, as the current situation necessitated it.
Seeing that the Flame Clan agreed to join forces, the members of the Medicine Clan pondered for a while and then nodded, choosing to join forces with them.
"Hun Clan, I hope you won't try anything funny."
Gu Nanhai said in a deep voice.
"As the Hall Master said, let's cooperate first to resolve the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame..."
The other powerful figures from unknown forces in the Central Plains echoed this sentiment.
Although cooperating with the Soul Hall is undoubtedly like seeking help from a tiger, the most important thing right now is to deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. No one has the ability to fight the demon flame alone, and it seems that there is no other way but to join forces.
Those who agreed to join forces here all harbor a desire to possess the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. But regardless, the most urgent task now is to defeat the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, because only by defeating it can they survive. Similarly, only then will they have a chance to seize the Demon Flame Source!
"In that case, friends with strength of Four-Star Dou Sheng or above, let's work together to deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. As for the other Fire Slave, we'll probably have to ask others to take care of them."
The Gu Clan.
"Miss Xun Er, are you alright?"
Gu Nanhai looked at Gu Xun'er beside him and asked with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er did not respond verbally, but simply nodded slightly.
The Flame Clan.
"Elder Huo Yao, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Hun Clan might use underhanded tactics. Please be careful."
"Um."
Unlike the Gu Clan, Huo Yao wasn't worried about Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, as they were strong enough to ensure their own safety.
One side of the Medicine Clan.
"Yao Tian, remember, you must protect Yao Ling."
Yao Wangui said in a deep voice.
What realm is the Yao Ling?
She is only at the level of Half-Saint now, above ten Fire Slave, any one of whom could easily defeat her.
Yao Ling has a special physique and is considered by the clan to be the most promising candidate to break through to the Emperor Realm of the Soul Realm. If something happens to her, Yao Wangui will not be able to explain it to the clan leader after returning to the clan.
"Elder Wan Gui, I understand."
The four Four-Star Dou Sheng then faced off against the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"Come on, let me see what you're made of!"
A great battle is about to begin!
