Heavenly Flame Venerable

The old man wore a white robe. His face was aged, his beard and hair snow-white, and his cloudy eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time.

"Just a Dou Zun-level soul body. I have to say, you've got quite the nerve."

Xie Tianxiao looked at the illusory old man and spoke indifferently.

"Saint, your strength has surpassed my expectations. This sliver of my remnant soul acted only out of necessity."

The old man spoke with great reverence, his tone full of bitterness.

With his experience, he naturally understood how terrifying the man before him was.

Setting aside the fact that the other man seemingly could absorb three Heavenly Flames without suffering any backlash—

The power that could make even space tremble with a casual gesture was enough to prove that he was at least a Half-Saint who had one foot in the Saint Realm!

Even at his peak, he would have had to treat such a person with utmost respect, let alone now.

"You want to live?"

Xie Tianxiao narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"If you are willing to grant me this opportunity, Saint, then naturally I wish to live a little longer, even in my current state."

The old man nodded and spoke sincerely.

He was indeed telling the truth.

If one could live, who would still want to die?

Moreover, he could sense that the Saint before him had not killed him either out of disdain or because he had some other purpose.

But regardless of what the other man intended, at least it proved that he was still alive. All he needed to do was follow whatever the other man told him to do next.

"Hehe... The Heavenly Flame Venerable who once roamed the continent truly speaks with caution."

Xie Tianxiao gave a soft laugh
