Battle Against a Nine-Star Dou Saint!

"You're Lin Xiao, the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

The Nihility Devouring Flame had naturally overheard the conversation between Xiao Lin and Yan Mo.

Right now, after conjuring up his own body, he was looking Xiao Lin up and down with a hint of curiosity.

Of course, while the Nihility Devouring Flame was curiously observing Xiao Lin was doing the same thing.

Xiao Lin was naturally quite curious about this legendary Heavenly Flames, which was rumored to be ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

The Nihility Devouring Flame, known as something that Devour Heaven and Earth, possesses the ability to devour all things, even space itself. In the entire world, only a very few things can resist that devouring power.

Furthermore, because he once devoured the last patriarch of the Tunling Clan, he even gained the terrifying power of the Tunling Clan to seize the Bloodline Power of other races!

On the Dou Qi Continent, the Nihility Devouring Flame is undoubtedly the most extraordinary treasure of heaven and earth!

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone below the level of Dou Emperor to refine it.

Most importantly, Nihility Devouring Flame has now cultivated to the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint!

His strength is so great that he can definitely be considered one of the top five in the Dou Qi Continent today.

Even Xiao Lin today dares not underestimate him in the slightest.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the Lin Xiao you mentioned."

Xiao Lin spoke calmly.

At his current level, he can remain calm and composed no matter who he encounters.

Strength is Xiao Lin's greatest source of confidence!

"I never expected that, apart from the Emperor Clan, there would be someone in this era who could cultivate to your level! Moreover, before this, no one knew the extent of your strength!"

The Soul Hall has indeed failed in its duties.

Did you know that even within the Hun Clan, there's quite a bit of discussion about you these days?

I was originally thinking that after annihilating the Stone Clan, I should also wipe out your Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. I never expected that you would actually deliver yourself to my doorstep, Lin Xiao!

By the way, wasn't it you who caused Hun Zhan's disappearance back then?

Furthermore, you also devoured a Child Flame...

Suddenly, the more Nihility Devouring Flame spoke, the more he realized he had no reason to let Xiao Lin go!

"Ah, is that so? But, Nihility Devouring Flame, do you know that I already learned about your affairs from Elder Lingmiao of my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace Ling Miao Palace? Why do you still dare to come and stop me when you are preparing to annihilate the Stone Clan?"

As Xiao Lin spoke, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Lin's words also caused the Nihility Devouring Flame to pause in surprise.

Yes, the remnants of the Ling Clan are hiding in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, so Lin Xiao must already know about me!

So why didn't they publicize this beforehand, and why did they dare to come to my doorstep this time?

Is it because young people are fearless?

Only after cultivating to this level did he let others know that he was a High-Star Dou Sheng. Nihility Devouring Flame didn't think Xiao Lin was a brainless person.

At this moment, Nihility Devouring Flame realized that even with his strength, he couldn't see through Lin Xiao's exact cultivation level!

However, the meaning behind this is quite different.

"Your Dou Qi cultivation cannot possibly surpass mine, yet I cannot ascertain your exact strength... So, does that mean Emperor Realm Soul?"

The tone of Nihility Devouring Flame was solemn, but even more so, it was filled with greed and desire!

"Boom"

At the same time, the instant Nihility Devouring Flame finished speaking, Xiao Lin finally unleashed his full power without reservation.

Congratulations, you got it right!

"Swish"

After speaking, Xiao Lin directly slashed horizontally at the Nihility Devouring Flame in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, the Nihility Devouring Flame's body was instantly severed at the waist by Xiao Lin's blade.

"Whoa~"

However, it can be seen that the Nihility Devouring Flame's body, which had been cut in half at the waist, actually transformed directly into a ball of pitch-black flame, and then condensed back into its previous form.

Flame, formless and intangible!

Clearly, it wouldn't be an easy task for Xiao Lin to injure the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Don't forget that a thousand years ago, even with the strength of Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint and Emperor Realm Soul, Gu Yuan could only severely injure Nihility Devouring Flame, who was only Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, but he couldn't kill him on the spot. This shows how difficult it is to injure Nihility Devouring Flame.

However, Xiao Lin wasn't surprised that his attack hadn't been successful.

If he really managed to cut the Nihility Devouring Flame in half with a single strike, he would start to doubt whether what was in front of him was truly the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"Interesting. I have tried every means to achieve the Emperor Realm Soul, but I have never succeeded. I never expected that someone with an Emperor Realm Soul would appear in front of me today!"

Lin Xiao, if I had known earlier that you possessed Emperor Realm Soul, your Myriad Formation Spirit Palace would never have existed until now!

At this moment, a terrifying red light actually bloomed in the deep, dark pupils of the Void Devouring Nihility Devouring Flame, which seemed capable of devouring everything!

Why has the Soul Hall been collecting the souls of powerful individuals all this time?

Its purpose is to help Nihility Devouring Flame break through to the Emperor Realm Soul!

Now that Xiao Lin, an Emperor Realm Soul, has appeared before him, how could the Nihility Devouring Flame not be excited?

After all, for Nihility Devouring Flame to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul, it would normally need to devour far too many souls.

However, the possessor of Emperor Realm Soul only needs to devour one to break through!

It's safe to say that once they discovered Xiao Lin possessed Emperor Realm Soul, the Nihility Devouring Flame would never let him go!

Of course, the Nihility Devouring Flame was unaware that Xiao Lin had only recently acquired Emperor Realm Soul.

But who could have imagined that Xiao Lin's strength would improve so quickly?

"Is that so? The Nihility Devouring Flame? Let me see just what kind of power this so-called second-ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking truly possesses!"

Xiao Lin's purpose this time was to test the limits of the Nihility Devouring Flame, so he was naturally not afraid at all.

No way, he himself is equivalent to the strength of three Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng. No matter what, he shouldn't be defeated by Nihility Devouring Flame.

You'll see soon enough!

"Boom"

The moment Nihility Devouring Flame finished speaking, his attack arrived.

Nihility Devouring Flame is a being of Heavenly Flames, and his flames are his greatest weapon!

With a wave of his right hand, Nihility Devouring Flame, a terrifying sea of black fire swept towards Xiao Lin.

"Swish"

Seeing this, Xiao Lin remained unmoved and swung his sword down at the dark flames.

"Boom!"

A sea of fire raged, starlight filled the air!

Under Xiao Lin's attack, the dark sea of fire was split in two and roared past Xiao Lin.

Despite the sweltering heat around him, Xiao Lin remained completely unmoved.

The exchange between the two just now could be considered their first test of each other.
