"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!"
Upon spotting the Pure Lotus Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi exchanged a glance before approaching it.
The current Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is undoubtedly a completely different entity from before. The former was violent and tyrannical, while the latter is quiet and peaceful, and did not launch any attack as the two approached.
"The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame seems different from before..." Huo Zhi said with some surprise when she saw the quiet, drifting lotus flame.
"The Purifying Lotus Demon Saint stripped away all its past memories, and even its intelligence was erased. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is now like a newborn baby."
The remnant image of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint and the spiritual intelligence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were both annihilated in the world, leaving behind the pure, infant-like Demon Flame Source, devoid of any violence.
"Huo Xuan, Brother, let's quickly take it back to the Flame Clan. After refining this Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, your strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap."
Huo Xuan shook his head slightly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Silly girl, why don't you try to tear apart the space here?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi immediately tried it, but the space remained completely still.
"This space was created by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. There are still remnants of seals within it. How easy would it be to tear it apart..."
"So what do we do now?"
Huo Xuan stared intently at the Demon Flame Source above the magma, and smiled, "Since we can't leave for the time being, let's refine the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame here!"
"Once the refining is complete, the remaining sealing power should dissipate considerably, at which point I should be able to break through the Demon Flame Space."
"Hmm, that seems like a good idea. Huo Xuan, Brother, when do you plan to make your move?"
Huo Zhi asked softly.
"Hehe, there's no rush now. We still have time. As for that little mouse in the shadows, I know you also covet this Demon Flame Source. What? You don't dare to try and snatch it?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi was greatly shocked. There was actually someone else in this Demon Flame Space!
As Huo Xuan finished speaking, a beautiful figure slowly walked through the air in the distance, expressionless, with a sinister aura emanating from her entire body.
"Gu Xun'er! It's you!"
Huo Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
Ignoring Huo Zhi, Gu Xun'er remained expressionless for a long time before finally speaking, "How did you discover me?"
He intended to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack while Huo Xuan was refining the Strange Fire, causing his demise. However, he never expected to be discovered...
"How did you find me? You used your Soul Power to hide your aura. Trying to play with Soul Power in front of me? You're overestimating yourself."
"Heh..." Gu Xun'er let out a series of mournful laughs, as if mocking herself, and said, "I never thought that I would still be inferior to you in the end... but I will not admit defeat!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, a large amount of golden flames surged from Gu Xun'er's body, the flames expanded rapidly, swirling and burning fiercely.
As these golden flames burst forth from its body, the temperature within this space rapidly increased, reaching a terrifying level moments later!
At this moment, Gu Xun'er directly activated the power of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame within her body, and with a look of death in her eyes, she charged towards Huo Xuan.
"What a madman!"
Gu Xun'er, who possesses the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, will receive an extremely powerful boost to her strength.
Unfortunately, this boost has its limits. A One-Star Initial Dou Sheng with only a hollow reputation, plus the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, can probably only defeat an ordinary One-Star Dou Sheng Initial Stage and contend with One-Star Dou Sheng Mid-Late Stage.
"What a fool of them!"
"One move is enough to deal with you."
Huo Xuan unleashed a powerful palm strike. Three-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage, his full-force attack directly dispelled the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame swirling around Gu Xun'er, utterly defeating her.
After advancing to the Dou Sheng, even a small realm is a huge gap. Even between a Dou Sheng in the One-Star Initial Dou Sheng and a Dou Sheng, the difference in strength is like heaven and earth!
Huo Xuan was very confident that he could defeat Gu Xun'er in one move, after all, he was two major realms stronger than Gu Xun'er!
"Puff!"
Gu Xun'er's body fell from the sky, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth. Her face was extremely pale.
"Foolish woman, I truly don't understand. What are you staying here for? To die? Or do you think you can get rid of me here?"
"Enough talk! Let's get started! Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er is here to be with you. We'll never be apart again..."
"Gu Xun'er, it's time to settle our grudges..." As he spoke, Huo Xuan summoned Strange Fire, flicked his finger, and the flame landed on Gu Xun'er.
"Ah!!!"
A series of shrill screams instantly echoed throughout the entire Demon Flame Space.
The raging flames burned Gu Xun'er's body to ashes, including her soul.
Only the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame remained in place.
"Huo Xuan, Brother, you... you're really serious!"
"She tried to harm me time and time again. I've wanted to kill her for a long time, but I just haven't found the right opportunity. Now that this Demon Flame Space is isolated from the outside world, it's the perfect chance to kill her." Huo Xuan put away his Strange Fire and said, "She was killed by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. It has nothing to do with me."
After a moment of silence, Huo Zhi pointed to the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and asked, "Huo Xuan, Brother, should we take this Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan fell silent. After all, the Golden Emperor Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was the fourth-ranked Strange Fire, and refining it would bring him many benefits.
With the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, combined with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, if Huo Xuan refines these two Strange Fire, he dares to guarantee that he can break through to at least the Seven Star Dou Sheng in a very short time!
But... this is Gu Clan's inherited Strange Fire...
Like the Flame Clan's inherited Strange Fire, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame contains indelible Soul Imprint set by powerful figures throughout the ages of the Gu Clan.
Huo Xuan was somewhat worried that if the Gu Clan were to refine the Golden Emperor Burning Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, and if they were to find it within his body through some special method, a great war between the two clans would be inevitable.
If she took it, Huo Xuan was afraid something might happen at a crucial moment. If she didn't take it, however, she felt somewhat unwilling...
Gazing at the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame floating before him, Huo Xuan was filled with a myriad of conflicting emotions...
"Let's leave it here for now. We'll figure out how to properly dispose of it after we've refined the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."
After the Demon Flame Space closed, the vast majority of people did not leave, but chose to stay here. Of course, most people were unwilling to have made a wasted trip, so they wanted to wait a little longer to see if there would be any other changes.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye as everyone waited. During those seven days, there was still no movement in this space, not even a trace of strange temperature was emitted. This result disappointed many people, and some of them could only leave one after another with a heart full of resentment.
"Seven days have passed..."
At this moment, Gu Nanhai's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.
"I can't find the Demon Flame Space. That space is sealed, and I can't detect its location."
"Well..."
After Huo Yao long silence, Huo Yao finally sighed and said, "This has really happened. Little ones, I hope you're all safe and sound..."
Things have already developed to this point, and Huo Yao has waited for so long; now he has to return to the Flame Clan to report this matter...
"With the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint here, she should protect the little ones, she should be able to keep them safe..."
Huo Yao glanced one last time at the Demon Flame Plains and could only console himself with this thought.
"Miss..."
Gu Nanhai's face remained expressionless. Compared to Huo Yao's concern for Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi, he was more worried about Miss Xun Er. The remnant soul of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint resided within Huo Xuan; if he were to protect anyone, he would only protect Huo Xuan. Ultimately, regardless of the circumstances, the Flame Clan would most likely still have a prodigy, but their Gu Clan...
"Sigh, waiting any longer will be of no use. Let's go back to the Gu Clan and let the clan leader decide on this matter."
"But... how am I supposed to explain this to the clan leader...?"
