Demonic Flame Origin

Faced with the question from the Pill Tower Ancestor, Zhu Zhen pondered for a moment and was about to agree when he noticed that the battlefield had suddenly changed, and the incredulous voice of the Hun Tiandi came from afar.

"Nightmare Heavenly Mist! How is this possible!"

The Hun Tiandi stared in disbelief as his attack landed on the Purifying Demonic Saint, as if it had passed through a non-physical mirror image.

He had never seen the Purifying Demonic Saint use this terrifying skill. You should know that when this skill is used, a little mist will appear, but he didn't notice it at all.

The Purifying Demonic Saint smiled faintly, offering no explanation.

Nightmare Heavenly Mist is his ultimate technique, a mix of illusion and reality. Even if the Hun Tiandi knows when he will use it, it won't be easy for him to break free once he's already caught in its trap.

"Sen Luo Palm!"

Above the sky, Hun Tiandi looked at the faint smile of Purifying Demonic Saint, and, refusing to believe it, launched another attack. His figure suddenly rose higher, and then he pressed his palm down on Purifying Demonic Saint below. The moment his palm was pressed down, a black ball of light about the size of a human head suddenly emerged!

Bang bang bang!

As this ball of light appeared, the energy in the world was suddenly stained, like ink being added to clear water. Looking around, the boundless sky was filled with raging black energy.

Upon witnessing the power of the Hun Tiandi's palm strike, even those outside the attack range, such as the Pill Tower Ancestor and Zhu Zhen, had drastic changes in expression. They hurriedly mobilized all their internal Dou Qi to resist the energy aftershocks that would follow.

The attacked Purifying Demonic Saint remained motionless, not even bothering to defend himself.

The coldness on the Hun Tiandi's face deepened, and he pressed down with both hands. Instantly, the black energy in the world rushed down at an astonishing speed. In a short moment, the endless black energy that filled the world was completely absorbed into the black ball of light in his hands.

"Destroy!"

With both palms pressed down, the heavens and earth seemed to collapse at that moment. The ball of light in his palms was radiating a destructive light. The ball of light wriggled and finally roared down. In less than half a breath, it had already descended on the head of the Purifying Demonic Saint!

"Bang!"

The ball of light caused no damage to the Purifying Demonic Saint. It passed directly through his figure and slammed heavily into the magma below. It only produced a deafening roar and a burst of Destructive Fluctuation energy, creating a lava crater millions of feet deep.

"Hateful!"

Seeing this, the Hun Tiandi couldn't help but clench his fists, and at that moment he suddenly noticed that the figure of the Purifying Demonic Saint was slowly dissipating.

"No! It's behind me!"

A chill ran down the spine of the Hun Tiandi; the thought had barely formed in his mind before he could react.

Terrifying flames, like a volcanic eruption, slammed into the stunned, dark figure, then burst forth.

Space shattered into dust, repeatedly crushed by the raging Dou Qi. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of feet, everything became pitch black, devoid of any Heaven and Earth Energy, leaving only endless nothingness.

The Hun Tiandi also vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, the Pill Tower Ancestor and the others could hardly believe it.

"The Hun Tiandi is dead?"

"One of the world's strongest beings died so simply?"

"I don't think so?"

"Then why doesn't he show himself?"

Unlike the speculations of the Pill Tower Ancestor and others, the Purifying Demonic Saint calmly gazed at the void. He knew very well whether the Hun Tiandi was dead or not.

Hun Tiandi was of course not dead; how could Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak die so easily?

The Demonic Flame Space was originally very stable, but the battle between the two affected its stability. Taking advantage of the Spatial Fluctuation caused by their fight, Hun Tiandi had already escaped.

Of course, the latter was indeed injured, otherwise he wouldn't have run away.

The Purifying Demonic Saint was fairly satisfied with this result.

To be honest, he didn't intend to kill the Hun Tiandi; it wasn't that he couldn't, but that he truly couldn't do it.

The reason he was able to fight the Hun Tiandi was because of the energy boost from the great formation and the fact that he could mobilize some of Xiao Ming's power to protect himself.

Moreover, he was fighting on his home turf. When Hun Tiandi asked when he had used Nightmare Heavenly Mist, it turned out that Nightmare Heavenly Mist was everywhere in the Demonic Flame Space.

This is the advantage of playing at home; with all these factors combined, Hun Tiandi's defeat was not unjust.

After their initial disbelief, the Pill Tower Ancestor and his companions quickly regained their composure and were hesitating whether to step forward and ask them questions.

After all, their Heavenly Court's top leader was still here. Unexpectedly, the Purifying Demonic Saint suddenly waved his sleeve.

Suddenly, two enormous arrays, each tens of thousands of feet in size, released a beam of light. The light twisted in mid-air and finally transformed into a spatial passage.

"You should leave. He needs to stay and receive the Demonic Flame."

Hearing the indifferent words of the Purifying Demonic Saint meaning. They figured there was no need for her to lie to them, so they said nothing more, bowed, and stepped into the spatial passage.

Watching the group disappear, the Purifying Demonic Saint closed all the passages.

He then stood before the fire cage, his hands behind his back, exuding a faint but undeniable air of authority.

At this moment, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame unknowingly transformed into a slightly crimson, eerie Heavenly Flames lotus, slowly rotating. With each rotation, its color constantly shifted between dark red and white.

"Buzz!"

The swirling Fire Lotus eventually solidified on the white surface, but all the petals of the lotus were covered with tiny red veins, looking like human blood vessels. Occasionally, a red glow would flash, giving this beautiful Fire Lotus an eerie and sinister feeling.

"When I first met you, your body was as pure as a baby's. I gave you intelligence, granting you human thoughts, but the path you chose went against my expectations..."

Gazing at the eerie Fire Lotus, the illusory figure outside "Xiao Ming's " body sighed softly.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame discovered that it could suddenly speak again.

"Purifying Demonic Saint, how I grow is my own business; you're interfering too much!"

The Demonic Lotus emitted a faint glow, from which the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame also emanated.

"I just don't want you to end up self-destructing. I'm the one who made you this way, so in the end, let me end it all."

"I've taken away the intelligence and memories I bestowed upon you. From now on, you will once again possess the purity you had when I first discovered you..."

"Purifying Demonic Saint, you heartless bastard, I won't let you have your way!"

From within the Demonic Lotus, a furious roar resounded once more. Immediately, the Demonic Lotus began to spin rapidly, and bursts of exceptionally terrifying crimson flames shot out from within Demonic Lotus. Faced with these bizarre crimson flames, the cage formed by the great formation began to twist violently.

"When my time was drawing near, I considered erasing your memories, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I sealed you away, hoping you could dispel the violence and murderous intent in my heart. But now it seems that thousands of years of sealing have only intensified your hatred. Since that's the case..."

Looking at the frantically struggling Pure Lotus Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Purifying Demonic Saint sighed softly. With a change of hand seal, the enormous array that enveloped the Demonic Flame Space began to collapse from the outside in.

"Refining Heaven Ancient Formation, strip it away!"

As the great formation collapsed, countless lines of Fire Line suddenly burst forth from the prison.

These Fire Line formed a fire net, deeply imprinted on the depths of the Demonic Lotus. Then, the fire net slowly rose, and wisps of Blood-Colored Mist were gradually forced away from the Demonic Lotus's body.

"Ah!"

As the Blood-Colored Mist rose, the shrill screams of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame emanated from within the Demonic Lotus. It spun wildly, but no matter how much energy it released, it still couldn't break through the fire curtain of the great formation.

"The Refining Heaven Ancient Formation has absorbed energy over thousands of years. Although this battle has consumed most of its energy, if it were to unleash its full power, you still wouldn't be able to withstand it, Little Demon. Come with me..."

The Purifying Demonic Saint controlled the Fire Line, slowly forcing out the Blood-Colored Mist that symbolized the memories and intelligence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame from her body. A calm voice followed.

"Bullshit! Without memories and intelligence, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame will be devoid of consciousness. How is your action any different from killing me? You keep saying you don't want to take my life, but everything you've done is aimed at killing me. Hypocrite!"

As his mind gradually emptied, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame felt a sense of terror and roared. Once his memories and intelligence were completely extracted, he was truly "dead".

"Your temperament is extremely violent, and now that you have inherited my legacy, if you are allowed to break the seal, it will surely be a great disaster. This disaster was brought about by me, so naturally I must end it."

The illusory figure of the Purifying Demonic Saint shook its head, then said no more. With a change of hand seal, the many Fire Line within the fire curtain suddenly crossed through the body of the Demonic Lotus.

"Ah!"

Thick plumes of Blood Mist surged rapidly from the Demonic Lotus, eventually forming a blood-red figure in the Demonic Lotus above it—the human form transformed from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Forced to reveal its true form, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame hurriedly submerged, attempting to return to its original position. However, the Purifying Demonic Saint did not give it the chance. With a clench of its hand, the cage rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a fire prison about ten feet in size.

"Master, Master, please forgive me this time! I promise I'll change!"

His body struggled frantically, but he couldn't break free of the fiery prison. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was also filled with fear. Separated from its original form, its power was less than one-tenth of what it possessed, and it had no chance of contending with the Purifying Demonic Saint. It immediately knelt down and begged for mercy from the Purifying Demonic Saint.

Looking at the begging Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the illusory figure of the Purifying Demonic Saint sighed softly. With a flick of his sleeve, the illusory figure emerged from Xiao Ming's body, floated into the fire prison, and landed in front of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"Little Demon, I don't hate you. Even though you turned against me back then, in the end, I don't resent you. I've had no disciples or children in my life, and from beginning to end, you've always been the closest person to me..."

The Purifying Demonic Saint gently stroked the head of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, a kind smile appearing on its somewhat ethereal face.

But I hate you!

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame suddenly raised its head, its blood-red eyes fixed on the Purifying Demonic Saint. Its entire body erupted with Blood Mist, which actually enveloped the Purifying Demonic Saint, and wisps of Blood Mist frantically eroded its body.

"This is just like that day..."

Faced with the erosion of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, a faint sadness welled up on the Purifying Demonic Saint's face. But it was not unexpected; he let out a soft sigh and slowly clenched his fist.

"Let us vanish together forever between heaven and earth..."

As the Purifying Demonic Saint uttered this soft voice, the massive Fire Formation between heaven and earth suddenly collapsed completely, finally transforming into two extremely dazzling beams of light that shot out and struck the fire cage fiercely!

"Boom!"

The storm swept across the heavens and the earth, and a huge crack, hundreds of thousands of feet long, appeared in the endless Magma Sea. The lava here could not fill the crack in a short time.

At the edge of the sky, after the violent energy storm gradually dissipated, only Xiao Ming, who had witnessed everything, remained in the empty sky.

"The Purifying Demonic Saint is indeed a remarkable figure..."

Xiao Ming sighed. The feelings of the Purifying Demonic Saint for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were genuine. However, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was inherently wicked and had long possessed intelligence. Just like the Nihility Devouring Flame, it lost its memory after an accident after escaping the Heavenly Flame Plaza.

Even though the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had completely lost its memory and could no longer recall those memories, it was useless for the Purifying Demonic Saint to teach it, because its violent nature was engraved in its bones.

In other words, this kind of person is a born bad seed.

Instead of blaming the Demonic Flame for betraying him Purifying Demonic Saint chose to take this person, who was like family, with him after understanding the situation. He truly is a person of boundless love.

Moreover, a ball of light remained in Xiao Ming's mind.

It contains the legacy of the Purifying Demonic Saint, and records Dou Skill such as Nightmare Heavenly Mist.

Both publicly and privately, the Purifying Demonic Saint is worthy of Xiao Ming's respect.

After reflecting on his feelings, Xiao Ming looked down.

On that boundless Magma Sea, a white lotus flower covered with pink veins was slowly swimming, and as it moved, it seemed as if the energy of the entire sea was flowing towards it.

"The Demonic Flame Origin..."
