"Lin Xiao!"

The Nihility Devouring Flame, which stepped out of the Spatial Passage, also called out Xiao Lin's name.

Lin Xiao, the Nihility Devouring Flame, still holds a vivid memory for him!

Previously, there were only three people in the entire Dou Qi Continent whom he truly feared: Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun.

But after the battle in the Stone Realm, he needs to add Lin Xiao to the mix!

With the strength of Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, he fought to a draw with himself, who was at the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng. This was something that Nihility Devouring Flame would never have dared to dream of before!

But that's exactly what happened.

Do you think Xiao Lin wouldn't be deeply impressed by the Nihility Devouring Flame?

Moreover, the Hun Tiandi later told him that Lin Xiao had already broken through to the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

At this point, Nihility Devouring Flame knew that unless he also broke through to the Emperor Realm Soul, he would no longer be a match for Lin Xiao.

However, Nihility Devouring Flame was confident that even if he couldn't defeat Lin Xiao, if he wanted to leave, the other party wouldn't be able to stop him.

That is indeed true.

After all, the Nihility Devouring Flame is too special!

Even when he was still Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng a thousand years ago, Gu Yuan couldn't stop him.

Now, his strength is slightly weaker than Gu Yuan's, and the Nihility Devouring Flame is also slightly stronger than it was a thousand years ago. How can he possibly keep the Nihility Devouring Flame alive?

Of course, if Nihility Devouring Flame and fights him until his condition drops below half, Xiao Lin will have a chance to seal him away using the Formation!

But that's the ideal situation; the chances of achieving it are extremely low!

They know they can't beat you, so why would they do something like that?

Do you really think Nihility Devouring Flame is as brainless as the Yao Clan?

As for why the Nihility Devouring Flame suddenly appeared before Xiao Lin at this moment...

This was purely accidental; he hadn't originally come for Xiao Lin!

I just happened to notice something unusual here, so I came to check it out.

Finally, he discovered Lin Xiao.

"Interesting, truly interesting! Everyone else comes here for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but I never expected you to be cultivating here using this special celestial phenomenon?"

At this moment, the Nihility Devouring Flame, which emerged from the Spatial Passage, also discovered what Xiao Lin was doing.

This immediately stirred some unusual thoughts in his mind.

Therefore, a sinister glint flashed in Nihility Devouring Flame's seemingly all-consuming dark pupils.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin calmly said, "So, Nihility Devouring Flame, your purpose here must also be the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, right? But I'm curious, since your goal is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, why don't you enter the Demonic Flame Space?"

Nihility Devouring Flame: "..."

Upon hearing Xiao Lin's question, Nihility Devouring Flame's expression stiffened, and he fell silent.

In fact, Nihility Devouring Flame did come for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but he would never choose to enter the Demonic Flame Space!

Because he had seen the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint before.

That happened after he and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame escaped from the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

At that time, the difference in strength between the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was not significant, less than one star!

However, before the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could regain its sentience, it was discovered and subdued by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.

As for Nihility Devouring Flame, because it still retained some memories of the Ancient Emperor's Cave, it subsequently chose to cooperate with the Hun Clan.

During this period, Nihility Devouring Flame also witnessed the rise of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.

Therefore, he naturally knew how terrifying the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was.

Given the unique nature of that Demonic Flame Space, he would never go in, even if you killed him!

If this goes wrong, he'll probably be locked up for life along with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

Why is the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame now so far ahead of the Nihility Devouring Flame?

It's worth noting that, in most people's opinion, both are considered to be in the same category.

But why is there such a large gap in strength between the two now?

Isn't that because the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is imprisoned for life, while the Nihility Devouring Flame is being supported by the Hun Clan?

If both sides were treated the same, the difference in their strength would still not exceed one star!

Even if their treatment were reversed, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would surpass the Nihility Devouring Flame!

Therefore, the purpose of Nihility Devouring Flame's arrival is actually quite simple: to wait.

If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame breaks through the seal and leaves the Demonic Flame Space, he will not hesitate to devour it.

With his current strength, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is no match for him.

If he can devour the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, his strength will instantly soar to the level of the Hun Tiandi.

At that time, he will truly be unafraid of the Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun!

If the other party can't break the seal, then he'll just have to wait another thousand years.

Since it is a creation of heaven and earth, its lifespan can be said to be infinite!

In the Original Work, Nihility Devouring Flame may have waited outside the Demonic Flame Space, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

In this life, he discovered Xiao Lin's whereabouts while waiting.

This is also why the Nihility Devouring Flame appears here.

"Are you afraid that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint has left a backup plan in the Demonic Flame Space, which could trap you there as well?"

Just as the Nihility Devouring Flame remained silent, Xiao Lin also revealed the other party's thoughts.

Seeing that his thoughts had been exposed, Nihility Devouring Flame's expression froze.

So what if you see through it all? It doesn't really matter.

What he wants to do now is something else entirely...

"Hmph, so what? I can wait! As long as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame isn't subdued by anyone else, I'll devour it when it emerges one day!"

At this moment, Nihility Devouring Flame spoke with an air of dominance.

In fact, the purpose of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint in creating this Demonic Flame Space was not only to seal the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but also to protect him.

Otherwise, without the existence of the Demonic Flame Space, he would probably have been devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame, which had already widened the gap between him and the Demon Flame.

Unfortunately, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame didn't seem to understand the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's good intentions.

In fact, in the design of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, if the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could wash away his own malevolent energy, he would be able to directly control that Demonic Flame Space, and then he would be able to leave without having to break through the seal.

Unfortunately, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was also unaware of this.

It can be said that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint arranged two endings for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Firstly, it is to wash away the malevolent aura of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and restore its freedom.

Secondly, if the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame cannot cleanse itself of its malevolent aura, it will be unable to leave the Demonic Flame Space for the rest of its life, and can only wait for someone to enter and subdue it.

To be fair, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was indeed good to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

"Really? But I don't think you have that chance."

Xiao Lin then spoke calmly.

"Ah, well, let's talk about that later. Right now, hehe, Lin Xiao, what do you think I'll do?"

"Whoa~"

The moment the Nihility Devouring Flame finished speaking, he suddenly grinned at Xiao Lin.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of black flames shot straight at Xiao Lin's face.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lin's expression finally changed!

At this moment, Xiao Lin's cultivation was interrupted...
