Demonic Flame Descends
Two days later, while the Pill Gathering was still in full swing in Holy Pill City...
In a certain place in Central Plains, amidst towering mountains.
A figure appeared silently.
The man was dressed in gray and white clothes, appeared to be around thirty years old, had a handsome face, and a pair of exceptionally bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
The first impression it gives is one of refinement, as if one were holding a scroll of unparalleled elegance.
This person is none other than the Clan Leader of the Soul Clan — the Hun Tiandi.
The mountains are lush with green trees and have beautiful scenery, but the space above them has an extremely distorted feel, with a faint milky white light seeping out from that distorted space.
Looking at this space, the Hun Tiandi's eyes were slightly obscure. He probed with his Soul Power, but after a moment, he abruptly withdrew it.
"Is this how the Demonic Flame Space is constructed? It connects the Heaven and Earth Energy with an array, resonating with the nine stars in the void. It cannot be opened until the nine stars gather and cause a dramatic energy change. Forcibly opening it is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"However, that only applies to others." The Hun Tiandi's eyes were full of confidence.
In the end, the Purifying Demonic Saint was only a Half-Emperor. Even though he was stronger than the Hun Tiandi and could fight several Hun Tiandi, he had not truly stepped into the Dou Di. Moreover, when the Purifying Demonic Saint created the Demonic Flame Space, he was still in a weak period after being betrayed by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
With the Hun Tiandi's abilities, breaking through such a space is not a difficult task at all.
Previously, the Hun Tiandi did not come here to directly take the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame because of the Restrictive Alliance between Ancient Race and the Soul Clan's Millennium Plan; it was not that it was truly impossible to take it.
Now that the Soul Clan's Millennium Plan is about to be completed, there's no need to worry about so much in order to get the Nihility Devouring Flame to work harder.
As for whether he'll be stopped, well, unless Gu Yuan appears, who can stop him now?
Gu Yuan is still in the Ancient Realm. By the time he receives the news and arrives, Gu Yuan will have already finished.
With a wave of his hand, the Hun Tiandi summoned countless blood-red banners that filled the sky. These banners were covered with a strong, pungent smell of blood, as if the space itself had been polluted.
Unaffected by the blood energy, the Hun Tiandi continued his actions, and in an instant, the blood-red banner transformed into streaks of blood-red light, disappearing into the void of the distorted space.
As the last banner was completed, the Hun Tiandi's hand seals suddenly changed.
"The Sen Luo Reversal Two Forms Formation, activate!"
"Boom!"
A strong energy fluctuation suddenly arose throughout the world, and then countless Blood-Colored Mist spread out from the void. Faintly, the sound of waves could also be heard from the void.
The distorted space also quietly cracked open, and milky white light poured out from the crack. Within that light, there was Terrifying Temperature that even the soul could not bear.
In a Bamboo Pavilion in the Heavenly Court Headquarters of Holy Pill City, Xiao Ming, holding his two daughters in his arms, chatted and laughed with Xiao Yi Xian Medusa.
Suddenly, Xiao Ming frowned and looked towards the Northwest of Holy Pill City, where a bright light suddenly burst forth from the distant sky.
Beneath this light lay an extremely terrifying temperature. The ripples spread outwards, their reach unknown, and even in the Holy Pill City, a wave of Dry Heat still surged from the depths of one's heart.
What's going on?
Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian also noticed this Heaven and Earth Anomaly, and their expressions immediately became somewhat solemn.
"... This is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, now born."
Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. Just now, the strange ball of light floating in his mind had rippled violently.
As the three were talking, several streaks of light swiftly swept in from afar, and in a few flashes, they appeared beside Xiao Ming. It was none other than the Great Elder and several other Dou Sheng.
"Demonic Flame is about to descend upon the world..."
The Great Elder landed beside Xiao Ming and said with a solemn expression.
"Legend has it that Demonic Flame Descends, Two Moons Appearing Together and Nine Stars Aligned. This seems to completely contradict the records in ancient texts. Could the records be wrong?"
"No."
Xiao Ming stood up, handed his daughter to Xiao Yi Xian Medusa, and stared straight in the Northwest direction. His deep gaze seemed to have traveled more than 100,000 kilometers to see the white-clad figure.
"There's another reason. At the Place Where the Demonic Flame Descends, I 'saw' a Nine Star Dou Sheng."
"What! Nine Star Dou Sheng!"
Exclamations of surprise rang out. In this era where Dou Di) Era Without Appearance, Nine Star Dou Sheng) represented the pinnacle and immense power!
It should be noted that the creator of the Demonic Flame Space was only Nine Star Dou Sheng.
Currently, on the entire continent, only the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan Leader who are Nine Star Dou Sheng.
But Xiao Ming actually said that there was Nine Star Dou Sheng there!
So, is this person Gu Yuan, or the Hun Tiandi?
If this person is the Hun Tiandi, then we're in trouble. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame falls into the hands of the Soul Clan, it will inevitably cause harm to the Heavenly Court sooner or later.
But their strength is weak, and the Heavenly Court doesn't have any Nine Star Dou Sheng. What can they do?
Xiao Ming withdrew his gaze, saw the anxious expressions on their faces, and immediately understood what they were thinking. He smiled.
"That person is indeed the Soul Emperor, but don't worry. Before I returned a few days ago, I had already broken through to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng level. With my strength, the Soul Emperor cannot take away the Demon Flame."
"An eight-star Dou Sheng? Hahaha, that's right, every time you return from an outing, your strength breaks through; we should have known!"
Everyone was taken aback at first, then immediately overjoyed.
If anyone else confidently claimed to have broken through from Six-Star to Eight-Star in just over six months, they would definitely question them, perhaps even thinking they had lost their mind. But when it came to Xiao Ming, it all made perfect sense.
Moreover, they knew Xiao Ming's strength; he often won against stronger opponents. Perhaps he really wasn't afraid of the Hun Tiandi. At the very least, he could destroy the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Hall of Souls.
"Let's not delay, let's set off. As for the Pill Gathering, let Elder Xuan preside over the closing ceremony," Xiao Ming said.
"Hmm." The Great Elder and the others nodded.
In truth, everyone knew that starting tomorrow, the flow of people in Holy Pill City would likely decrease significantly, as countless powerful individuals would rush to the place where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had descended.
Even though many people knew they didn't have the ability to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, everyone still clung to that hopeful mentality.
After all, whoever obtains and refines the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame will undoubtedly experience a rapid increase in strength.
When the time comes to fight, even opponents of a much higher level will be easy to defeat. The temptation of that is immense.
However, this will not affect the normal operation of the Pill Gathering. For the participants, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is the most likely Heavenly Flames to be obtained, and it is much less dangerous.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was about to leave, and that his opponent was someone of the Hun Tiandi's caliber, Xiao Yi Xian Medusa frowned slightly, but neither of them tried to persuade him to leave.
He only said one sentence.
Be careful.
"Peace of mind."
Xiao Ming returned the smile, then broke through the space and stepped inside, followed closely by the Great Elder and the others.
