Swallowed It

Yao Dan naturally knew Xiao Yan as well. Smiling, he nodded and said, "Of course it isn't too late. With young friend Xiao Yan's alchemy skills, there won't be any problem with participating in this Pill Codex!"

Xiao Yan smiled, then entered the arena directly. As the most prestigious Alchemist Assembly on the continent, the Pill Codex naturally admitted only the finest alchemists.

The final round would take place above the plaza. Hun Xuzi, whom Xiao Yu had slapped down earlier, had also returned to normal. By sparing his life, Xiao Yu wanted to see just what the Soul Clan was plotting!

The five men stood at five separate positions. Hun Xuzi was the first to unleash a Heavenly Flame. With a sweep of his sleeve, a mass of dark black flames surged forth, forming a massive black cauldron in midair. A strange devouring force could faintly be sensed within it.

"Nihility Devouring Flame?"

Seeing those black flames carrying a trace of devouring power, many people cried out in surprise. As second place on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Nihility Devouring Flame's status in everyone's hearts was self-evident.

Hun Xuzi gave a sinister chuckle. "Everyone here should be familiar with Nihility Devouring Flame, right? Hurry up and summon all your Heavenly Flames. My Nihility Devouring Flame has been craving them terribly!"

At those words, Elder Shennong and Wanhuo Elder both darkened. Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan, however, showed no change in expression, remaining as calm as ever.

Xiao Yan looked at Hun Xuzi and chuckled. "As far as I know, Nihility Devouring Flame isn't nearly as weak as the Heavenly Flame in your hand. It's merely a Child Flame, yet you dare act so arrogantly?"

Hun Xuzi's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Xiao Yan possessed several kinds of Heavenly Flames.
