Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation! The Demon Saint Reappears!

"The Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared to the sky, its body suddenly shooting into the heavens, and streaks of milky white fire shot out all over the sky, eventually entering the entire Demon Flame Space.

As these fire lines shot into the depths of space, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared, and a deafening rumble echoed through the air. Then, to everyone's astonishment, a massive fire array, nearly tens of thousands of feet in size, slowly emerged from the void above...

"Boom!"

As the grand formation appeared in the sky, the boundless Magma Sea churned, and finally, to everyone's astonishment, an extremely massive fire formation slowly emerged...

When the two fire arrays appeared, one above the other, the expressions of the Pill Tower Old Ancestor and the Soul Demon Old Man instantly turned ugly.

"Haha, old ghost, you never expected this, did you? The sealing array personally set up by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint will ultimately be used by me. Over these thousands of years, I have already deciphered its mysteries. Within this Demon Flame Space, who can contend with me?!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"This is a big problem..."

Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock. They never expected that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would use such a terrifying formation!

The group stared intently at the massive array in the sky and on the sea, their hearts churning with dread. They could sense that if the array were to release even a tiny amount of energy, it could easily annihilate them...

"Finally, there's a response!"

Just as everyone was horrified by the sudden turn of events, Huo Xuan was overjoyed. He covered his forehead with his hand, and in that instant, the Demon Saint Remnant Soul in his mind began to stir, trembling violently, as if it were about to awaken...

The sky-covering fire array, like two enormous fire plates, enveloped this space from above and below. Everyone present was like an ant within these two giant plates, appearing utterly insignificant.

"He actually... can control the great formation set up by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint..."

The Soul Demon Old Man stared at this turn of events in disbelief. After a moment, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly looked towards the slowly rotating spatial passage in the distance, which was the road leading to the Central Plains.

"Retreat immediately!"

With a flash of his eyes, the Soul Demon Old Man roared. He took the lead and sped towards the spatial passage. The great formation here was set up by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint Hun Clan. Even though he had fallen countless years ago, his reputation was still deeply imprinted in the ears of everyone who had heard of his deeds, and could not be forgotten.

The Soul Demon Old Man's initial escape undoubtedly caused panic among many. The elders of the other Ancient Race all changed their expressions drastically, hesitated briefly, and then gritted their teeth and followed. The allure of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was great, but one had to be alive to enjoy it...

"Haha, you want to leave now? Too late! I'm going to refine every one of you here into my Fire Slave!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, high above the sky, laughed wildly. With a light tap of its finger in the direction of the spatial passage, a milky-white pillar of magma fire shot out from the array below, striking the spatial passage with the force of thunder, and actually shattering it.

The Soul Demon Old Man appeared before the dissipated spatial passage, his face grim. It seemed that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame intended to leave no one behind.

"Demon Elder! What do we do!?"

Hun Miesheng caught up and frowned.

"How would I know!?"

The Soul Demon Old Man's expression was grim.

"Are we just supposed to stay here and wait to die?"

"You want us dead? Not so easy." The Soul Demon Old Man sneered, then turned his gaze to the Green Ox Herdboy and said in a deep voice, "Old monster, how about we join forces? Now that he controls the Heaven Refining Array, even you wouldn't be a match for him in a one-on-one fight!"

"Alright! The Heaven Refining Array is divided into two aspects: Heaven and Earth. I will deal with the Heaven Array, and you will handle the Earth Array!" The Green Ox Herdboy had no time to argue with the Soul Demon Old Man, who was extremely quick to change his mind, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Alright! I'll take care of the Earth Array then!"

"Gu Nanhai, follow me to deal with the Heavenly Array!" The Pill Tower Old Ancestor turned his head and shouted softly to Gu Nanhai.

"Um!"

At this moment, there was not much time to think. The spatial passage had been wiped out by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. If they did not join forces to fight the enemy, they would all be refined into Fire Slave of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. At that moment, Gu Nanhai moved and appeared next to the Green Ox Herdboy.

"Like a Green Ox Herdboy and the others, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame sneered. Then, killing intent surged in its eyes. Too lazy to say anything more, it changed its hand seals, and the great formation that covered the sky and earth began to slowly rotate like a millstone.

As the two great formations slowly rotated, the energy in this world instantly became extremely violent. Some experts with strength reaching the level of Half-Saint turned pale on the spot, and some even spat out a mouthful of blood. Before the formations even launched their attack, some people couldn't withstand them. The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint truly lived up to her reputation...

"The Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation, Refine Heaven into Slavery!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame hovered in the sky, its body erupting with a massive, milky-white flame that poured into the great formation.

"Bang!"

As the shout fell, the entire world trembled violently. A ring of milky-white light rapidly spread from the edge of the great formation towards its center, finally converging into a hundred-zhang-long milky-white pillar of light amidst the astonished gazes of many. Within this pillar of light, a destructive power filled the air...

"Refine!"

A sinister look appeared on the face of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. She pointed her finger downwards, and both the Heavenly Array and the Earth Array trembled violently. Then, two milky white beams of light shot out like fountains, their target being everyone present!

"Make your move!"

Seeing such a ferocious and unparalleled attack, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn. The Green Ox Herdboy let out a low shout. A drop of blood, almost half green and half gold, flew out from his fingertip, instantly transforming into a size of hundreds of feet. An astonishing energy fluctuation, along with a rich fragrance of medicinal pills, emanated from it.

Below, the others also used all their skills, combining their strength to fiercely crash into the surging pillar of light.

"Bang bang bang!"

In just a fleeting moment, a deafening explosion reverberated, creating a massive crater hundreds of thousands of feet deep in the Magma Sea below, pushing the lava tens of thousands of feet away...

"Haha, putting up a stubborn resistance, keep training!"

In the sky, the eyes of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame flashed red. He seemed to be insane. He pressed his hands down hard, and the ball of blood light and the obstruction of the Soul Demon Old Man and others below were all destroyed with a bang!

Destroying the obstruction, the two beams of light streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, finally colliding with the Pill Tower Old Ancestor, the Soul Demon Old Man, and others in the sky!

"Boom!"

High in the sky, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame watched the circle of light spread rapidly tens of thousands of feet away from the point of impact, and couldn't help but laugh wildly. Now, no one could stop him from escaping!

"Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, do you think you can destroy me like this? I am a divine being of heaven and earth, protected by heaven and earth, hahaha!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was in a frenzy; after thousands of years of being sealed, it could finally break free today. How could it not be overjoyed...?

"Um?"

However, the maniacal laughter didn't last long. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame gradually calmed down, then suddenly lowered its head, its gaze filled with suspicion as it looked at the confluence of the pillars of light below. From there, it sensed the presence of numerous auras...

"Still alive? How is that possible?"

Milky white flames swirled in the sky before slowly fading away. As the flames dissipated, a faint halo appeared in the gaze of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Although everyone looked somewhat disheveled, they did not appear to have suffered any serious injuries.

At this moment, not only the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but everyone else stared in astonishment at the outer halo. This halo, though seemingly thin, had withstood the terrifying and destructive shockwave...

"This is..."

The group looked at each other, clearly confused about what had happened.

"Huo Xuan, what's wrong with you?!"

While everyone was bewildered, Huo Yao suddenly noticed that Huo Xuan was unconscious, and his body was emitting a faint halo. The halo slowly condensed on his surface and eventually transformed into a somewhat illusory human figure.

"Huo Xuan, Brother?!"

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?!"

As soon as the figure appeared, everyone was terrified and quickly retreated, because the figure looked exactly like the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky!

"No, it's not the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! It's the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint!"

The Green Ox Herdboy stared in astonishment at the figure outside Huo Xuan's body, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone's heart was in shock. How could this legendary super strongman who had fallen thousands of years ago suddenly appear on Huo Xuan?

"Could it be... that Ancient Map?"

At this moment, Huo Zhi suddenly remembered that Huo Xuan had obtained something left behind by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint from that Ancient Map.

As everyone watched in shock, Huo Xuan, whose eyes were tightly closed, trembled slightly. Then, he slowly opened his eyes, which had turned milky white. His gaze moved slowly, and anyone whose eyes were swept over, even a powerful figure like the Soul Demon Old Man, felt an overwhelming urge to prostrate themselves in worship, or even tremble, deep within their souls...

The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, the one who was said to be the closest to the Dou Di back then, has actually reappeared in this form!
