Lightning vs. Fire!

"Haha! Good, great! The Heaven Refining Ancient Array has finally been summoned by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! So, the Formation combined with this Demonic Flame Space is the Heaven Refining Ancient Array!"

In other words, once I master and thoroughly study the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, this Demonic Flame Space will be under my control!

Outside the Demonic Flame Space, Xiao Lin, who was sitting cross-legged atop the Ninth Heaven, appeared quite excited.

As time went by, Xiao Lin also sensed that the celestial phenomenon of two moons in the sky and Nine Stars as One was gradually disappearing.

His initial cultivation speed of a thousand times has now dropped to only a few hundred times.

If this continues, his cultivation speed will eventually return to normal.

However, it has been far from the three months that Xiao Lin had initially anticipated...

According to Xiao Lin's estimate, the cultivation speed buff brought to him by this celestial phenomenon will completely disappear in about two months.

By then, he will have only completed about two-thirds of his journey from the mid-stage to the late- Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint.

This is already a huge improvement!

After all, he only recently broke through to the Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, and he's already two-thirds of the way to the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint. Anyone would probably say he's cheating, right?

But Xiao Lin was clearly not satisfied.

Because without this special cultivation enhancement buff, even if he only completes one-third of the journey, he would still probably have to walk for another twenty or thirty years.

This is still too late!

Although Xiao Lin might not be able to reach the finish line in terms of Dou Qi cultivation this time, he can take the next step in the path of Spirit Array Master...

At this moment, Xiao Lin, through his research into the Demonic Flame Space using special celestial phenomena, was able to project his consciousness into it.

Now, with Xuan Ting's appearance, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has directly chosen to activate the Heaven Refining Ancient Array. As a result, Xiao Lin immediately learned the secret between the Demonic Flame Space and the Heaven Refining Ancient Array.

To be honest, even though the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can control the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, it only has the right to use it after the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint passed away; it does not actually own it!

This is why he can control the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, but can only use it to enhance his strength; he cannot escape the Demonic Flame Space.

If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame hadn't summoned the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, it might have been difficult for Xiao Lin to thoroughly study the Demonic Flame Space.

But right now, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has unintentionally created an opportunity for Xiao Lin.

When Xiao Lin learned that the Heaven Refining Ancient Array was a grand formation combined with the Demonic Flame Space, and that Heaven Refining Ancient Array was now laid bare before him, how could he not be happy?

"Xuan Ting, huh? Well done! My unintentional act back then wasn't in vain; I didn't expect the reward to come so quickly..."

Above the nine heavens outside the Demonic Flame Space, a glint flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

Furthermore, it's not hard to tell from Xiao Lin's mutterings that he already knows Xuan Ting's identity...

After all, there's a saying that bystanders see things more clearly.

Right now, Xiao Yan is looking down at the entire Demonic Flame Space outside. Although he can't interfere with the situation inside for the time being, what he knows is definitely no less than what he knows about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

No, Xiao Lin even knows about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but the latter is unaware of his existence...

"Boom"

Within the Demonic Flame Space, as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame activated the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, his aura began to rise steadily.

In fact, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can control the Heaven Refining Ancient Array to launch direct attacks or to amplify its own strength.

At this moment, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is using the Heaven Refining Ancient Array to enhance itself.

Seeing this, Xuan Ting simply waited quietly to the side, showing no intention of interfering.

Because he originally came to witness the power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and the latter essentially fulfilled that wish.

Otherwise, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could have directly manipulated the Heaven Refining Ancient Array to attack Xuan Ting, but he didn't do so.

This might also be the source of pride for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

"Sorry to keep you waiting..."

Finally, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame stopped when it used the Heaven Refining Ancient Array to subtly raise its strength to the Early Seven-Star Dou Saint, and then stared intently at Xuan Ting.

"That's more like it!"

At the same time, feeling the power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xuan Ting also became excited.

"Boom!"

Almost the instant Xuan Ting finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down without warning.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, bolts of lightning struck down from the Void behind Xuan Ting.

Before long, countless lightning snakes were dancing wildly behind Xuan Ting.

This is clearly Demonic Flame Space, yet at this moment, the power of lightning has somehow managed to take over a place here!

Then, after exchanging a glance, the two moved simultaneously.

"Demonic Flame Divine Statue!"

As the hands of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame changed, the milky-white flames that filled the world suddenly condensed rapidly towards him, and in a short while, a fire giant nearly ten thousand feet tall appeared.

The fire giant plunged its feet directly into the Magma Sea below. Its colossal size sent shivers down one's spine. It seemed that if this giant were to unleash a single punch, even Dou Sheng Expert would likely be reduced to Nihility...

"Whoever you are, today I will show you my true power!"

The moment the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame finished speaking, the Demonic Flame Divine Statue suddenly raised its fist, which was as large as a giant mountain, and slammed it down on Xuan Ting below.

Just as that punch was unleashed, a massive magma vortex, thousands of feet long, appeared on the surface of the Magma Sea ten thousand feet below, spinning wildly and roaring.

Faced with such a destructive force, most people might be frightened, but Xuan Ting was definitely not one of them!

"Nine Luminaries Lightning Emperor!"

However, facing the attack from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xuan Ting said nothing and instead launched his own attack.

"Buzzing~"

Nine distorted black holes suddenly appeared in the Void behind Xuan Ting.

"Sizzle sizzle~"

After these nine distorted black holes appeared, lightning plasma began to gradually emerge from them!

Lightning, like fire, is formless.

But at this moment, it turned into liquid.

As golden lightning flowed out from the nine black holes, at a certain moment, the lightning transformed directly into laser light!

"Boom"

Almost instantly, nine beams of lightning, each tens of feet thick, pierced through the Void!

Then, the nine bolts of lightning, each tens of feet thick, struck the ten-thousand-foot-tall fire giant directly.

"Whoa~"

"Sizzle~"

Instantly, the entire world seemed to be swallowed up by golden lightning and milky white flames.

"Boom!"

The shockwave generated by the collision swept in all directions.

Instantly, the entire Magma Sea below began to churn, creating waves.
