Inside Xiao Yan's body, his consciousness had never truly faded. He simply had no strength left to control his body.
Nihility Devouring Flame's soul placed him under immense pressure. It had seized the upper hand from the start, leaving Xiao Yan's soul clinging to a corner, relying on his six Heavenly Flames to resist the power invading his body.
At that moment, Xiao Yan could not help thanking Yan Jin again. It was Yan Jin's wondrous Heaven Class Dou Technique, Fire Glaze Fetal Beast Form, that had strengthened his six Heavenly Flames until each had developed intelligence. Only then had they endured Nihility Devouring Flame's crushing suppression without falling apart, fighting instead to protect him.
Even Mystic Yellow Flame, the lowest-ranked flame and the one he had fused with most recently, showed no sign of crumbling under that immense pressure.
Without the strengthening brought by that Dou Technique, his six flames might already have been unable to move before Nihility Devouring Flame.
"Boy, become nourishment for my rebirth!"
Xiao Yan had barely gained a moment to breathe before Nihility Devouring Flame turned its attention back to him.
Nihility Devouring Flame's soul had reached Heavenly State Soul Grand Perfection, far beyond Xiao Yan's. In an instant, it unleashed a soul assault of unprecedented force. The flames that formed its body could still exert their power here: countless black flames seeped through every opening, sweeping through every part of Xiao Yan's body.
Only then did Xiao Yan grasp how terrifying the flame ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking was. Though he controlled six Heavenly Flames, he could not escape its encirclement. With just its first attack, Nihility Devouring Flame had surrounded and trapped every one of his flames, severing his connection to his body completely.
And that had only been the
