Super Battle State, Activate!

"It seems that thousands of years of sealing have still failed to extinguish the violence in your heart."

Xiao Yan, now in the form of the Purification Lotus Demon Saint, gazed at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. His soft voice echoed through the heavens and earth, subtly revealing a pressure powerful enough to make the world tremble.

Everyone felt the oppressive aura emanating from this, and their expressions changed.

Even a mere afterimage possesses such terrifying pressure; one can only imagine how formidable this powerful being must have been when he was alive! "You bastard, Purification Lotus Demon Saint, you ungrateful wretch! Without me, could you have achieved such success? I helped you so much, yet you sealed me away in the end. You deserve to be devoured and die!"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame stared at the Purification Lotus Demon Saint with a ferocious expression, laughing maniacally. Its tone was filled with boundless hatred, sending chills down one's spine.

"I am partly responsible for your violent behavior, but the demonic fire is too destructive. If you are allowed to leave freely, it will be a great disaster for the world."

The Purification Lotus Demon Saint slowly shook his head and said.

"Hmph, a mere afterimage dares to be arrogant in front of me? Do you still think you're the once-powerful Purification Lotus Demon Saint?" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame glared at the Purification Lotus Demon Saint with resentment, its hand seals suddenly changing, and the two enormous fire arrays in the world began to rotate again. "This array was set up by you personally back then. Today, I'll let you taste its power!"

"Refine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared angrily, and two beams of light containing destructive power shot out from the two arrays of heaven and earth again, then shot towards the direction where the Purification Lotus Demon Saint was located with lightning speed.

Seeing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame unleash the power of the great formation once more, everyone's expression changed. If they were to be struck by that pillar of light, probably no more than five of them would survive. "Whoosh!"

Gazing at the pillar of light that streaked across the sky like a shooting star, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint slowly raised her finger and gently pointed. "Freeze!"

As the calm voice fell, the two beams of light that were about to strike them suddenly froze, stopping less than five feet in front of and behind them. The destructive power emanating from them made everyone's scalp tingle.

"The Heaven Refining Ancient Formation was created by me. To think you can use it against me is to seriously underestimate me!"

A faint smile appeared on the face of the Purification Lotus Demon Saint. He looked at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the sky, whose expression was extremely ugly, and said softly.

"You bastard!"

Upon seeing this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame couldn't help but curse. However, as soon as the curse fell, he realized with a drastic change in expression that his control over the great formation was gradually disappearing.

"Boom!"

Between heaven and earth, the two enormous fire arrays trembled violently at this moment. The last layer of milky white flames suddenly shot out from within the arrays and swept into the body of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. With the entry of these flames into its body, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame completely lost control of the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation.

"Purification Lotus Demon Saint, I'll fight you to the death!"

The grand formation went out of control, and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's eyes instantly turned blood red. He naturally knew the terrifying power of this grand formation, and if the Purification Lotus Demon Saint were to allow it to be controlled, he would definitely be sealed away again. He had lived that monotonous life for thousands of years and was already extremely tired of it. "Demon Flame World Annihilation!"

The body of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame rapidly expanded, and with a final bang, it transformed into a raging inferno that filled the heavens and earth. All the energy within this space was instantly evaporated by the extremely terrifying high temperature.

"Ah!"

Just as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame unleashed its full power, a Half-Saint powerhouse let out a shrill scream. His battle Dou Qi ignited at that moment, and his meridians were twisted and deformed. "Bang!"

The Half-Saint- saint's shrill screams didn't last long before his entire body exploded into a cloud of black ash, drifting into the Magma Sea below. However, the others around him felt their hands and feet turn cold because of this scene. All the energy here had been evaporated by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. If they continued to stay here, they would not be able to replenish the Dou Qi they had consumed. The only outcome would be that they would be burned alive!

Even Zi Yan lacked the confidence to withstand the terrifying temperature of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame without relying on Dou Qi. Therefore, if she wanted to survive, she had to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.

"Laugh!"

Just as everyone was trembling, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint suddenly waved his sleeve, and the two enormous arrays in the sky, each tens of thousands of feet in size, suddenly released a beam of light. The light twisted in mid-air and finally transformed into a Space Channel.

"Hurry up and leave. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame explodes, none of you will survive."

Hearing the indifferent words of the Purification Lotus Demon Saint, everyone was overjoyed. They didn't have time to think much and immediately began to rush forward into the Space Channel.

"Miss, let's hurry up and go!"

Gu Nanhai said to Xun'er, "This place is far too dangerous. No one could have imagined that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has become so terrifying."

"You all go back, I'm staying here to keep Brother Xiao Yan."

Xun'er shook her head and said firmly.

"Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems. You can leave first. Brother Huo Xuan, Elder Huo Yao, and Miss Huo Zhi, please wait a moment after you leave. I still need to use some methods here."

Xiao Yuan said something to Gu Nanhai, then turned his gaze to the three members of the Yan Clan and said.

As they spoke, the milky-white flames in the sky grew larger and larger. Eventually, pink flames gradually appeared at the center of the flames. These pink flames slowly condensed, and then a slightly crimson, Heavenly Flames lotus slowly rotated and appeared in the sky.

As soon as the crimson Flame Lotus appeared, even a powerful figure like Gu Nanhai's face turned red, and his fighting Dou Qi emanated waves of scorching heat, as if it were about to spontaneously combust.

"Miss."

Gu Nanhai looked troubled. He was responsible for protecting Xun'er's safety on this trip, and the current situation made his job quite difficult.

"Elder, when you get back, please tell Father that this time, Xun'er will be allowed to be willful for Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er shook her head, then swiftly struck out with her delicate hand, landing a palm strike on the latter's chest. A gentle force sent him directly into the Space Channel.

"Miss, take care. Xiao Yuan is counting on you!"

Seeing this, Gu Qingyang naturally had nothing more to say. He cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yuan, then turned and flew into the Space Channel.

The Yao Lao and Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yuan. They knew Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan's strength, so they were not worried about him. They nodded and then turned and flew into the passage.

"Are you confident?"

Xiao Chen had already sensed Xiao Yuan's Emperor Realm Soul, so he wasn't worried about Xiao Yuan being in any danger, but he still asked a question out of concern.

"Don't worry, wait for me outside, it won't be long."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded emphatically, said nothing more, and flew into the passage.

As Xiao Chen also rushed into the Space Channel, the passage disappeared. Xun'er turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure standing with his hands behind his back in the distance. Golden flames slowly surged out from his body, enveloping him.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this time, Xun'er will be with you."

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan will be fine."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, and then the Clan Mark appeared between his eyebrows, and his aura surged to the Late Three-Star Dou Saint. Immediately afterwards, he used the Qi Gathering Palaces Imbue Secret Method, and his aura reached the Peak Four-Star Dou Saint.

Sensing Xiao Yuan's surging aura, even Xun'er, who was already used to such things, turned her head slightly.

Although Xiao Yuan had used secret techniques to boost his strength in the past, even the huge gap between One-Star Dou Zong and Dou Zun Peak was far less than the difference in strength between a one-star Dou Sheng Expert.

The amount of Dou Qi required during this period is incomparable to that of a single day.

Even after reaching the level of Dou Sheng, Xiao Yuan was still able to increase his strength by nearly two stars. How incredible was that?

But that wasn't all! The next moment, Xiao Yuan changed his hand seals, and golden lightning erupted from his body. He unleashed the Demon Lightning Body, which was based on a wisp of Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning energy, directly pushing Xiao Yuan's aura to the level of Five Star Dou Sheng!

Immediately afterwards, countless purple-gold dragon patterns emerged from Xiao Yuan's body. A purple-gold battle armor covered Xiao Yuan's body, with dragon-shaped accessories all over the armor. On his back, a pair of phoenix wings, each a hundred feet long, spread out and flapped, and a noble aura spread out. The purple-gold dragon patterns transformed into a giant dragon with wings on its back, winding and coiling, protecting Xiao Yuan within it.

Black and white talismans rose from between Xiao Yuan's eyebrows and floated behind his head. Yin and Yang merged, and the two energies of life and death circulated, forming a protective barrier around Xiao Yuan's entire body.

"Whoa!"

Purification Lotus Demon Saint couldn't help but glance over at this scene.

How gorgeous!

Finally, a soul phantom, a thousand feet in size and wreathed in golden flames, materialized behind Xiao Yuan. Its enormous size made the Refining Heaven Refining Ancient Formation appear somewhat small in comparison.

It really is Emperor Realm Soul!

Seeing this, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint nodded slightly.

This level of strength is indeed enough to help him deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Xun'er watched in disbelief. With Xiao Yuan's current momentum, there were probably no more than a handful of people in the entire Ancient Clan who could fight him!

As expected of Third Brother! "Emperor Realm Soul? How could you possibly have Emperor Realm Soul!"

Seeing this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which had transformed Flame Lotus, had already broken through its defenses.

If Xiao Yuan only unleashed his full power in terms of Dou Qi, he wouldn't be able to threaten the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

However, this Emperor Realm Soul is enough to rival Eight Star Dou Sheng. In addition, with Xiao Yuan's current half-step Divine Palace Realm soul power, he would not be afraid even if he faced Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had that kind of power, it would probably have broken free long ago, and there would be no need to wait until today.

But right now, there's a monster comparable to the Eight-Star Peak, and another who was once the strongest on the continent and the master of the Heaven Refining Ancient Formation. They are all more difficult to deal with than the other!

At this Xun'er was protected by the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, so she was naturally not worried about being harmed by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. In her vision, a Flame Lotus with an eerie aura was slowly rotating, and with each rotation, its color was constantly changing between dark red and white.

Not far from the Flame Lotus, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a faint sense of majesty. Beside him stood the imposing Xiao Yuan.

"Buzz!"

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

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

Gazing at the eerie Flame Lotus in the sky, the illusory figure outside the Purification Lotus Demon Saint's body sighed softly.

"Purification Lotus Demon 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.

"In that case, young friend, please make your move."

Seeing this, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint understood that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was completely obstinate and there was no point in saying anything more.

"Good."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this, and with a thought, the thousand-foot-tall phantom of his soul behind him let out a deafening roar.

The Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath! A burst of purple-gold light erupted from the claws of the purple-gold dragon, tearing through space and striking the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Azure Dragon Heavenly Seat Seal! At the same time, Xiao Yuan quickly formed hand seals, and golden flames surged from his body, condensing into three golden suns in the sky behind him.

The next moment, he stretched out his right hand, and as his fingertips traced patterns in the void, golden flames soared out from the three golden suns like dragons, transforming into a dazzling golden fire talisman in front of Xiao Yuan.

The moment the fire talisman appeared, even the sky full of Purifying Lotus Demon Flame began to wane.

Xiao Clan's advanced Heaven-Rank Dou Technique: Three Yang Profound Fire Talisman!

"What a powerful Heavenly Flames! It can actually suppress the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!"

Xun'er was watching the battle, was surprised to see this scene, but she soon discovered that her Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was unaffected.

Has Third Brother's Fire Energy become this formidable? "Tsk, if only you could have been born in my era!"

Seeing this scene, the Purification Lotus Demon Saint showed a look of emotion. Xiao Yuan's amazing performance was something that even a powerful figure like him, who could dominate an era, would take notice of.

Xiao Yuan's move was completely devoid of any probing intent; he unleashed two high-level Heaven-rank Dou Technique and one Heavenly Martial Art comparable to a high-level Heaven-rank Dou Technique.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?!"

Sensing the intensity of Xiao Yuan's attack, even the previously rampant Purifying Lotus Demon Flame felt a slight sense of panic.

Even Eight Star Dou Sheng wouldn't dare to take the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath head-on while simultaneously withstanding the other two Dou Technique!
