Xiao Yuan Wants to Learn Nightmare Sky Mist

As the farce came to an end, everyone's attention returned to the shattered space in the distance, where milky white light poured down continuously like liquid, and the desert below had turned into a milky white magma, with occasional bubbles rolling out and bursts of extremely hot air.

"Boom!"

This waiting continued for about three more hours. The ruptured space expanded from a few feet to tens of feet, and strange sounds could be faintly heard coming from it.

The expansion of the shattered space finally came to a slow halt when it reached a range of nearly a hundred feet. Faintly, a milky-white halo formed at the ruptured space. The instant that halo formed, all the powerful figures present snapped their eyes open. They could sense that the temperature in this area had increased nearly a hundredfold in that instant! Xun'er also opened her eyes at this moment, her beautiful gaze fixed on Xiao Yan, and softly said, "It's time to set off."

Her words seemed to possess a kind of magic. As soon as they were uttered, the surrounding space was filled with the sound of rapid wind breaking. One after another, figures with long and powerful auras rushed from afar like lightning, crashing directly into the milky white light circle amidst a series of howls.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan also stood up abruptly, his dark eyes blazing with passion!

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has finally waited for this day!

Then, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yuan.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao, we'll go in first!"

Not far away, Huo Xuan also cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yuan, and then, led by Elder Huo Yao, he moved and was the first to leap into the milky white light circle and disappear.

Let's set off too.

Seeing that the powerful figures from those Ancient Race were rushing into the light circle, Xiao Yuan waved his hand slightly and said with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan, legend has it that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can be drawn from a person's emotions, causing the demon flame to be born from within the human body. Once the demon flame appears within the body, even the soul will be burned to nothingness. Therefore, after entering that space, no matter what you see, try your best to maintain a calm state of mind, neither elated by gain nor saddened by loss. You must try your best to control any joy, anger, sorrow, or resentment, otherwise, these emotions will attract the demon flame to your body!"

Xun'er nodded, then solemnly reminded Xiao Yan, who was holding her hand beside her.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's expressions changed slightly. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was too mysterious, and even they, as alchemists, knew little about it. However, they did not expect that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could actually use human emotions as a catalyst. Such a strange method truly lived up to its name as a demon flame.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan blinked and then stepped forward, taking Xiao Yuan's hand.

She felt that at times like this, she still had to rely on the all-powerful Xiao Yuan.

"Everyone be careful, let's get going!"

Seeing that everyone was ready to set off, Xiao Yuan didn't waste any more words. He took the lead and, with Zi Yan in tow, transformed into a streak of light and flashed into the circle of light. Xun'er, Xiao Yan, and the others followed closely behind.

The moment his body swept into the circle of light, Xiao Yuan's skin tightened instantly. Passing through the circle of light was a matter of a split second. After the light in front of him blurred slightly, Xiao Yuan realized that the surrounding space had changed.

"What a terrifying temperature!"

The change in space gave Xiao Yuan the first feeling of stepping out of a furnace. He quickly scanned his surroundings and found himself in a strange space filled with milky white flames. This entire space was filled with milky white flames. If the Heavenly Flames in his body was not strong enough to compete with the Nihility Devouring Flame of the same realm, he would probably feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Is this the space where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is sealed? Where is Zi Yan?"

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, looking at the empty surroundings. He and Zi Yan entered this space hand in hand, so why was he the only one here? Xiao Yuan frowned deeply, his body suspended in mid-air. The milky white flames around him fell on him and were immediately swallowed up by the golden flames, instantly being refined into nourishment for the Heavenly Flames.

Is it an illusion? How powerful is Xiao Yuan's soul power? Even in this world, he is already at the pinnacle of existence. He immediately sensed something was wrong, and then golden flames surged up and entered his eyes.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Flames, the world before them suddenly changed. The milky white sea of fire disappeared, replaced by a milky white mist covering an area of about several tens of feet. At this moment, within this mist, nearly a dozen people with different expressions were rapidly flying around in place. Some of them were even engulfed by the milky white flames, and finally, with a series of shrill screams, they turned to ashes.

Xiao Yuan's gaze swept quickly across the milky white mist, and he immediately understood that the illusions were caused by this strange mist.

"Teacher?!"

Xiao Yuan's sweeping gaze stopped a moment later on Yao Lao, who was not far in front of him. Yao Lao was in pain, and milky white flames were faintly appearing on his body, which was the prelude to the burning of demonic fire!

Seeing the milky-white flames gradually burning on Yao Lao's body, Xiao Yuan's expression hardened. Although Yao Lao was now Dou Sheng Expert, he no longer had the protection of Heavenly Flames within him. If the demonic fire were to take advantage of this opportunity to invade his body, he would surely be seriously injured! "Drink!"

Xiao Yuan flashed and appeared beside Yao Lao, slapping him hard on the back with a palm. A low shout suddenly came from his mouth!

Xiao Yuan's shout contained a soul fluctuation, and the sound wave mixed with this fluctuation directly entered Yao Lao's ears, finally crashing hard into his soul, causing his face to turn pale instantly, and his tightly closed eyes to suddenly open.

"Huff, huff."

The Yao Lao opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Yuan beside him, and kept panting heavily. After a moment, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "What a terrifying Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! It deliberately set up illusions to cause people's emotional fluctuations, which then caused them to be burned. If you hadn't intervened in time, I'm afraid my fate would not be much better now."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this, glanced around, and said, "The fog here is a bit strange. Let's leave this area first."

"Where are Xiao Yan and the others?"

The Yao Lao frowned and said with some concern.

He hadn't forgotten that this Demon Fire Space was too strange, filled with deadly dangers everywhere. Even Dou Sheng Expert would face perilous situations upon entering this place.

"Don't worry about Xiao Yan and Xun'er. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in Xun'er's body and the Fused Heavenly Flame of Xiao Yan can protect her. It shouldn't be difficult for her to escape the illusion," Xiao Yuan shook his head, and after sensing for a while, he said, "Zi Yan has the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, so she should be fine. I sensed her location. Let's go there first and then leave. Perhaps Xiao Yan and Xun'er have already passed this test."

"Um."

The Yao Lao nodded slightly. In such a dreadful place, only Xiao Yuan's Emperor Realm Soul power could still do something. Even with his Heaven Realm Great Perfection power, it would be difficult for him to detect the specific situation in this fog.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yuan glanced at the other guys trapped in the illusion, then quickly flew off in another direction within the mist.

Soon, Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao saw Zi Yan, who was covered in milky white flames and had begun to transform into a half-dragon.

"Wake up!"

As Xiao Yuan shouted in a deep voice, he pointed his finger at Zi Yan's forehead.

The milky-white flames on his body were instantly captured by a black hole, all flying towards Xiao Yuan's body. They were then engulfed by the golden Heavenly Flames and instantly refined.

Are you alright?

Xiao Yuan reached out and pulled Zi Yan into his arms, handing her a pill.

"It's alright. Although I know it's an illusion, this ability to manipulate emotions is indeed hard to guard against."

Zi Yan's physical body was extremely strong, and she was protected by the power of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, so it was impossible for her to fall into the illusion. However, the illusion's ability to provoke emotions was really hard to resist, and she fell into it without even realizing it.

"Let's leave this place first."

Xiao Yuan handed Zi Yan a bottle of Rank 8 Pill to calm her nerves, and then the three of them flew out of the mist.

As they emerged from the mist, all three felt their bodies become slightly lighter. Turning their heads to look at the eerie, milky-white mist that enveloped the space, they all breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts pounding with relief.

"Brother/ Third Brother!"

Xiao Yan and Xun'er's greetings rang out.

Xiao Yuan glanced around and saw a huge platform floating in mid-air not far ahead. At the end of the platform was a giant white gate. On the platform, Xiao Yan, Xun'er and the others were gathered, looking at Xiao Yuan and the other two who emerged from the mist with joy.

Xiao Yuan scanned the area with his soul power and knew this was not an illusion. He then flew over with a smile and said, "You guys are much faster than me, impressive!"

Xiao Yan and Xun'er quickly went to meet them, while Gu Nanhai, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, we didn't expect that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could already release Nightmare Sky Mist. It seems that its strength has greatly improved in the past thousand years."

"Nightmare Sky Mist?"

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"It's that mist that can trap people in an illusion forever. It was originally the unique skill of the Purification Lotus Demon Saint. It is said that the Purification Lotus Demon Saint once used this move to shroud a city, making the people in the city feel as if they had lived in it for hundreds of years. Only after the mist dissipated did they realize that the hundred years of experience were just a dream." Gu Nanhai smiled faintly, then sighed, "It is said that a thousand years ago, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could not use this move. I didn't expect it to be used this time. It seems that this journey is indeed dangerous."

"Nightmare Sky Mist".

Upon hearing about this skill, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became somewhat envious.

The creation of this illusion likely involved a significant amount of soul power.

Xiao Yuan happens to possess such powerful soul energy. If he could learn this move, it would be excellent whether used in battle for wide-range attacks or to disrupt the enemy's thoughts.

Furthermore, if it could be arranged in the form of an array, it might become a defensive measure such as a sect-protecting array, with many ingenious uses.

"Where are the others?"

Soon, Xiao Yuan came to his senses, his gaze swept over everyone, and then he looked around and found that apart from his group, there was not a single person in the square.

"This space is the domain of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. The moment we entered here, we were essentially in its hands. As for where we are teleported, it's entirely up to it."

Xun'er explained.

"It deliberately kept us together. The space here is extremely strange. I've already tried to break through; even I would likely suffer a huge backlash if I tried. This is an extremely sturdy prison; tearing it apart is impossible!" Gu Nanhai shook his head, looking at the tightly closed giant gate, and said, "According to our ancestors, this situation happened before. Following the path behind the giant gate will naturally lead to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. However, there will definitely be many obstacles behind that giant gate. To see the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, we must break through."

"This place was set up by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. It would be difficult to force our way through."

Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this.

"This is the territory of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Even we must abide by its rules before we see its true form."

Gu Nanhai smiled faintly, and was about to say something more when the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a terrifying temperature suddenly appeared.

"Careful!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Nanhai frowned and said.

Of course, without his reminder, everyone was already on edge, their eyes warily fixed on the increasingly distorted space around them. This Demon Fire Space was too strange, and they had to be extremely cautious.

"Boom!"

As the space became increasingly distorted, cracks suddenly appeared. From these cracks, waves of milky-white flames surged forth. Then, figures covered in milky-white flames surged out of the cracks like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the sky outside the plaza was filled with these fiery figures.

These figures, their bodies wreathed in flames, gripped flaming spears tightly in their hands, their emotionless eyes fixed on Xiao Yuan and the others.

Xiao Yuan swept his soul power over them and discovered that these numerous fiery figures all possessed substantial bodies, and each of them had a powerful aura.

"Be careful, this is Fire Slave, a powerful being refined by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, essentially a different kind of puppet!"

Upon seeing these fiery figures, Gu Nanhai said in a deep voice.

"Roar!"

As soon as Gu Nanhai finished speaking, the thousands upon thousands of fiery figures roared and then unleashed their power, sweeping towards Xiao Yuan and the others in a massive, overwhelming attack. The sheer force of their attack was truly earth-shattering.
