Save Xiao Chen, Take the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame

Above the Demonic Flame Plains.

The figures of Xiao Xuan and Zi Yan stood suspended in the air.

Previously, when Xiao Xuan came here, he had attempted to locate the Demonic Flame Space that the Demonic Lotus Saint had sealed within this region.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, resided within that very space.

However, despite the strength of his Di-State soul, while he could sense the existence of the Demonic Flame Space, he was unable to enter it.

Later, he realized that the Ancient Void Dragon tribe was proficient in spatial techniques.

Thus, he took the opportunity to invite Zi Yan over to help.

"Is it right here?"

Zi Yan's eyes, shimmering with purple-gold hues, looked curiously at the sky.

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"I can sense that the Demonic Flame Space is right here, but I have no way to enter it."

"If I had to search for that space, I might not be able to do it, but if you know the location, Brother Xiao Xuan, with my current strength, I should be able to take you inside."

After refining the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, not only did Zi Yan's strength soar, but she also gained an understanding of spatial techniques inherited from the predecessors within the fruit.

Zi Yan's wings flared, and her graceful figure soared toward the sky like a moon-bound goddess.

Dazzling purple-gold light erupted from her body!

The light enveloped her form!

Immediately following, a heaven-shaking dragon roar resounded across the world!

A giant dragon, covered in purple-gold scales and shimmering with dual-colored light, emerged!

This was Zi Yan's true form!

She arrived before Xiao Xuan.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, ride on my back, I'll take you in!"

Ride?

Xiao Xuan moved, appearing on the giant dragon's back.

"Sit further forward, otherwise... I'm afraid I might shake you off."

This concern was undoubtedly unnecessary.

Xiao Xuan possessed a Di-State soul, after all!

However, he complied.

He sat at the base of Zi Yan's neck.

"Hold on tight, we're... setting off."

Zi Yan reminded him with a delicate voice.

Her dragon claw slashed across the void!

Chi!

The space ahead tore open, revealing a deep purple rift.

Zi Yan moved, diving into the crack!

"Brother Xiao Xuan, where is that space located?"

Xiao Xuan sensed for a moment before saying, "Right ahead."

Zi Yan spat a beam of purple light from her mouth, shooting it into the void ahead!

Boom!

The space trembled!

A tiny crack split open!

Xiao Xuan immediately released his soul power, using the soul skill Heavenly Soul Wind-Tearing Hand to manifest two giant palms that gripped the edges of the spatial rift.

"Break!"

Xiao Xuan flicked his sleeve!

The two giant palms erupted with brilliant light!

Whoosh...

Gusts of wild wind swept out from the rift!

Simultaneously, waves of suffocating, scorching heat surged out along with the wind!

It was truly worthy of being the third-ranked Heavenly Flame; even the residual heat it released was this formidable!

But to Xiao Xuan, it felt no hotter than a bathroom heater.

Not even a scratch!

"Wow! Big Brother Xiao Xuan, you were right, that Demonic Flame is actually here!"

As the spatial rift was torn completely open!

Zi Yan, having transformed back into her human form, gazed at the scene within the rift and couldn't help but exclaim!

"Let's go!"

Xiao Xuan pulled Zi Yan along, his figure flickering as he swept into the Demonic Flame Space!

Soul Realm, Hun Clan.

Hun Tiandi sat atop Patriarch Peak, sipping tea brewed from rare heavenly treasures.

"Hun Tiandi, you certainly have a lot of leisure time; even at a time like this, you're still sitting here drinking tea."

Nihility Devouring Flame rolled his eyes, unable to stop himself from complaining!

Hun Tiandi chuckled.

"Everything is going according to my plan, what is there to panic about?"

"Is that so? And those two Dou Saint-level magical beast powerhouses that suddenly appeared in the Central Plains—were they part of your plan too?"

"They weren't before, but they could be in the future."

Hun Tiandi shook his head.

He had once gone to observe those two fellows in secret!

Their strength was indeed not weak!

However, those two were more like children whose minds were immature and whose intelligence hadn't fully developed.

They acted without any method, following only their whims.

Sometimes, they would argue incessantly over the most trivial matters.

They were always on the verge of coming to blows.

It was precisely their appearance, and their bizarre antics in the Central Plains, that had secretly given him a helping hand!

Nihility Devouring Flame paused and said, "I feel there is nothing left to see in the Heavenly Tomb; it is calm and peaceful. Perhaps that remark Hun Yang made back then was intentional on Gu Yuan's part."

Mentioning Gu Yuan, Nihility Devouring Flame gritted his teeth.

"That old thing Gu Yuan, the debt from when he wounded me back then, I will make him pay it back double sooner or later!"

"Hm? What is that disturbance?!"

Suddenly, the very earth seemed to tremble!

Hun Tiandi frowned!

Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes suddenly flared bright!

"I sense it; it is the aura of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame!"

Nihility Devouring Flame was stunned.

"That's not right! The descent of the Demonic Flame... the timing is wrong! By all accounts, there should still be over twenty years left!"

"It seems someone has torn through the space and entered the Demonic Flame Space!"

Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes.

A look of shock surged across his face!

Hundreds of years ago.

He and Nihility Devouring Flame had joined forces to try, yet they had failed to tear open that Demonic Flame Space.

That was why he had Hun Miesheng establish a branch hall on the Demonic Flame Plains, so that if any abnormalities were detected in the Demonic Flame Space, he could dispatch men to rush there immediately.

Now, someone was actually capable of tearing through the space and entering that place.

Could it be those two magical beasts?

If they rushed over now, they might be able to snatch the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Hun Tiandi waved his hand: "Let's go! Let's go and see!"

"Big Brother Xiao Xuan, the temperature here is terrifying!"

Upon entering this space, it felt as if they had stepped into a furnace!

The heat left Zi Yan drenched in fragrant sweat.

Xiao Xuan stomped his foot, and a barrier condensed from soul power instantly isolated the terrifying high temperature.

At this moment, the two were deep within a strange space permeated by milky-white flames!

"Big Brother Xiao Xuan, where is the thing you are looking for?"

Zi Yan asked.

"Right ahead."

Xiao Xuan led Zi Yan to a plaza spanning several thousand zhang.

The next second!

From the grand hall ahead, figures surged forth, their pupils suffused with white flames!

Like walking corpses, they raised the weapons in their hands and lunged toward Xiao Xuan and his companion!

Seeing this, Zi Yan prepared to charge out.

She was stopped by Xiao Xuan.

With a wave of his palm!

"Die!"

Xiao Xuan's indifferent voice echoed throughout this space!

Simultaneously, arrows manifested from soul power shot out in all directions in a dense swarm!

Swish, swish, swish, swish...

Puff, puff, puff, puff...

Those zombie-like figures were reduced to nothingness!

"Intruders, die!"

A shout erupted from within the grand hall.

Immediately following, a Blood Red Giant Axe, several zhang in size and looking extremely exaggerated and bizarre, descended from the sky!

BOOM!

The giant axe slammed down before them.
