The Hall of Souls Master Could Only Withstand Three of My Moves

On this day, at the Starfall Pavilion.

Xiao Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged atop a towering tree, suddenly opened his eyes slowly, raised his head, and gazed at the distant sky. In the western sky, two crescent moons, one above the other, quietly appeared!

At the same instant, nine dazzling stars in the sky slowly moved under countless shocked gazes, finally merging into a straight line. Twin Moons Appear Together, nine stars became one, the Heavenly Tide surged, and demonic fire descended upon the world! The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame finally descended upon the world once more at this moment!

"Boom!"

When the nine brilliant stars in the sky aligned in a straight line, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly arose throughout the world. Immediately afterwards, countless strange mists spread out from the void, and faintly, the sound of waves could be heard from between heaven and earth.

"The Heavenly Tide and earth are indeed completely consistent with the prophecy of that Ancient Map."

Xiao Yuan slowly stood up from the top of the tree, looked up at the faint mist that filled the entire world, and murmured to himself.

"Call out!"

As Xiao Yuan muttered to himself, two streaks of light swiftly swept in from the Star Realm, and after a few flashes, they appeared beside Xiao Yuan. It was Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

"A demonic fire is about to descend upon the world."

Landing beside Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan said with a solemn expression.

Xiao Yuan nodded. It was likely that starting tomorrow, countless powerful individuals would rush to the place where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had descended. Even though many knew they didn't have the ability to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, everyone still held onto that hopeful mentality. After all, whoever could obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and refine it would undoubtedly see their strength advance by leaps and bounds. When they fought against others, even opponents of far higher levels would be easily defeated. The temptation was immense.

"Xiao Yan, when do you plan to set off?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yan and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly raised his head and looked towards the northwest direction in the darkness. Suddenly, a strong light burst forth from the distant sky, and beneath this light was an extremely terrifying temperature. The ripples spread outwards, affecting an unknown area. Even in the Starfall Pavilion, people still felt a surge of heat rising from the depths of their hearts.

"This is... the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has been born."

The Yao Lao also noticed this strange phenomenon and immediately took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that the demonic fire would break through the seal so impatiently.

"Bang! Bang!"

Xiao Yan gently pressed his palm against his forehead. At that moment, the strange ball of light that was floating in his mind once again rippled violently.

"Call"

Letting out a long breath, Xiao Yan stirred his thoughts and gradually suppressed the strange movements of the light orb. With his Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul power, although he still couldn't penetrate the light orb, suppressing it wasn't a big problem.

"Brother, why don't we set off now? Let's get there and see what the situation is like first, no matter what."

Suppressing the unusual movement of the light orb, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said in a deep voice that the speed at which the demonic fire appeared was much faster than he had imagined. Presumably, the powerful figures from all sides were also starting to rush there. They also had to arrive quickly. Even if they didn't rush to take action, they had to be the first to understand the situation.

The Yao Lao was taken aback. After a moment of contemplation, he was about to say something when he saw Xiao Yuan wave his hand.

"Teacher, there's no need to go to so much trouble. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is very powerful; it won't work on ordinary Dou Sheng Expert."

Xiao Yuan knew the power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, so he didn't plan to bring too many people with him.

"That's true. With your strength, you can manage things better if you bring fewer people. In that case, let's make the trip as the three of us. I've long admired the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and have wanted to see it for a long time!"

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao smiled and nodded, saying...

"Yes, and there's Zi Yan too. She's strong enough and is also Ancient Void Dragon. If something really happens, it'll be easier for her to escape."

Xiao Yuan nodded, then summoned Zi Yan via soul transmission. After explaining briefly, the four of them embarked on their journey to the place where the demonic fire descended.

As the Starfall Pavilion began its operation, large numbers of figures flew across the Central State from various major sects and forces, accompanied by the whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air. One after another, they swept across the sky, their targets all strikingly consistent: the northwest of the Central State!

Overnight, the entire Central State was in an uproar. "Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound arose in the sky, and a large group of figures flew in from the distant horizon.

"We are about to enter within a thousand miles of the Demonic Flame's Descent."

Xiao Yuan raised his head, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. Blinding light shone forth like the sun, and as they drew closer, terrifying heat surged towards them. Fortunately, there were only four people on this trip: Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and Zi Yan, all of whom were powerful experts at the Two Star Dou Sheng or above. This heat was nothing to them.

"Xiao Yuan, we've encountered at least ten groups along the way, and their target is clearly the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. It seems this is truly an earth-shattering battle."

Zi Yan glanced around with her beautiful eyes, then spoke.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. He had indeed encountered many teams with the same goal along the way, but he didn't take them too seriously. Although those guys were fairly strong, they were still too weak to snatch the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"I wonder if the Soul Hall and the other Ancient Race have arrived yet," Xiao Yuan thought, gazing into the distance. He then waved his hand again and shouted in a deep voice, "Accelerate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan and he, as if by telepathy, simultaneously used their Space Power to speed up their journey.

The distance of a thousand miles passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yuan and his companions finally arrived at the towering mountains where the demonic fire had descended. However, when Xiao Yuan reappeared there, the lush and verdant mountains that once existed there had vanished without a trace. All that remained was a milky-white desert, and a terrifying temperature rose from the desert, causing the space within these thousands of miles to appear distorted.

"What terrifying Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! It actually burned such a massive mountain range into a desert."

Looking at the vast desert that appeared before his eyes, Yao Lao couldn't help but gasp, his face full of shock.

Compared to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame that he subdued back then was far inferior.

Xiao Yuan looked up at the distant sky, where the space had been shattered, and milky white light poured out from the shattered space. Within that light, there was a terrifying temperature that even the soul could not bear.

"The space that sealed the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has shattered, but the demon flame hasn't emerged. It must be still within that space. These milky-white lights are merely its residual heat."

Looking at the scene, Xiao Yuan said softly.

"Lingering warmth."

Upon hearing this, even with Zi Yan's formidable strength, her expression couldn't help but change slightly. A mere trace of residual heat could incinerate mountains and turn them into deserts; how terrifying would it be if one truly entered that space? "Whoosh!"

Shortly after Xiao Yuan and his companions appeared above the desert, the sound of wind breaking came from all directions. Figures stopped far from the ruptured space, their eyes filled with shock as they gazed at the milky-white desert. They all knew that before tonight, this place had been a vibrant, thriving mountain range. "Judging from this, it seems that to obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, we must enter that space."

The Yao Lao gazed at that space for a long time before speaking.

"No rush, let's wait and see. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame won't be easily subdued. Let's send others to be cannon fodder first."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said calmly.

His current strength is at least comparable to Eight Star Dou Sheng, but there are probably fewer than ten experts of this level across the entire continent, and each of them is the top combat power of their respective races. It is impossible for them to lead a team here. In other words, he is the one who has the most say here! Yao Lao nodded. As an alchemist, he could naturally sense how terrifying the shattered space would be.

"Laugh"

While Xiao Yuan and the other three waited quietly, the space suddenly rippled, and then a thick black mist seeped out from the space, spreading out with a terrifying aura that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. It immediately drew the attention of everyone in the world.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, all gazes turned to the place where the black mist had emerged. After a moment, the black mist slowly dissipated, and several figures gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

"That's... the Hall of Souls Master?"

Upon seeing the black-robed figure among the group, who exuded a terrifying aura, Yao Lao's pupils suddenly contracted, and his internal Dou Qi quietly began to circulate.

Three figures slowly emerged from the black mist. One of them was dressed in a black robe, his face unremarkable, looking like an ordinary person. His hands, which slipped out of his sleeves, were also slightly rough. However, this seemingly ordinary figure made most of the people present hold their breath, their eyes filled with solemnity and fear. The Hall of Souls Master!

These four simple words possess an unparalleled reputation in this Central State, even though this reputation is built upon countless acts of bloodshed.

Apart from the currently powerful Starfall Pavilion, which boasts numerous Dou Sheng and Half-Saint experts, no other force dares to openly show hostility towards them. While the Soul Clan is certainly a factor in this, they also possess their own unique deterrent power.

In that distant era, this Hall of Souls Master once massacred dozens of sects in a single night. That night, rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the fields. Five peak experts with the strength of Two Star Dou Sheng perished tragically at his hands.

That night cemented the Hall of Souls Master's fearsome reputation and made the Soul Hall the undisputed overlord of the Central State. Even the Danta dared not easily confront him! At this moment, this once infamous figure who had shaken the entire Central State was quietly suspended in the sky, his gaze as unwavering as that of an old monk sitting in meditation. Regardless of whether the gazes from the outside world were filled with awe or hatred, he did not shift his attention.

"The Hall of Souls Master."

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and stared at the figure. The soul fluctuations emanating from the latter were exactly the same as those of the powerful soul he had encountered after breaking through to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.

As Xiao Yan gazed at the Hall of Souls Master, the latter seemed to sense it as well. He slowly turned his head, his eyes, as calm as still water, looking at Xiao Yan, then at Xiao Yuan, scrutinizing the two of them from head to toe, and said indifferently:

"The fallen Xiao Clan has actually produced a member with such talent; this is a failure on the part of my Soul Hall."

"Then you, the temple master, should atone for your sins with your death."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan sneered.

"I will personally bring you back."

The Hall of Souls Master was not angry at Xiao Yuan's words and spoke in a calm voice.

His voice remained constant in tone, sounding somewhat strange and eerie.

"He is a difficult opponent, but I should be able to kill him."

The man in black robes spoke slowly.

"The deputy hall master should be dead at his hands. Young Clan Leader, you'd better be careful."

The Hall of Souls Master said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes slightly raised his eyelids. Although he could also kill the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall Soul Hall, it would indeed be difficult for him to kill him directly without even having to call for reinforcements.

So he shifted his gaze from Xiao Yuan to the shattered space and asked, "When do we make our move?"

"Wait until the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame breaks the seal. This will consume a lot of its energy. We will make our move when it is about to break through the void," said the Hall of Souls Master, his rough hands clasped together.

The man in black robes nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Yuan in the distance with his pure black eyes once more, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"So this is the Hall of Souls Master? He is indeed terrifying."

Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, his face filled with solemnity, and slowly spoke.

"It can only withstand three of my moves at most, no need to worry."

Xiao Yuan said calmly.

With his strength comparable to Eight Star Dou Sheng, dealing with a Five Star Dou Sheng Hall of Souls Master wouldn't be too difficult for him.

"This person is a formidable opponent; be careful."

Zi Yan, standing to the side, also lost all her smile, and her delicate body tensed up. Although she had great confidence in Xiao Yuan's strength, Zi Yan couldn't let her guard down too much when facing such a formidable enemy.

"Don't worry, they won't make a move until they obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and smiled.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yuan, so you've come to join in the fun too."

As Xiao Yuan was comforting everyone, a loud laugh suddenly came from not far away, followed by a whistling sound carrying a scorching heat. Several figures appeared beside him as fast as lightning.
