Xiao Yan's expression did not change at the shadow's mockery. As soon as the Dou Qi in his body had recovered sufficiently, he summoned his heavenly flames again and burned the shadow.
"What an annoying bastard."
The shadow roared, then ignored Xiao Yan and continued charging at the Mandala Flower's roots.
"In less than three years, I'll break out of this damned cage. When that happens, all of Manto Mountain Manor will be buried with it!"
The shadow let out a series of eerie laughs, but Xiao Yan could clearly sense that he had grown more agitated.
I don't have much time. I have to hurry!
Xiao Yan paid no attention to what the shadow was thinking. He had only one goal now: burn him mercilessly, until he could burn no more.
Only by dealing with this shadow could he truly obtain the Mandala Flower's seal, and only that seal could win him a slim chance of survival.
Otherwise, once the demonic source broke free of its seal, Xiao Yan's fate would likely be even more miserable than the Yin-Yang Evil Saint's had been.
Although the Demon Saint before him was far stronger than the Fallen Evil Saint suppressed by the Netherworld Poison Saint, Xiao Yan's own strength was no longer what it had once been.
Having devoured another two heavenly flames, his flames had now become terrifyingly powerful. Perhaps they still could not compare to heavenly flames on the level of the purifying lotus demon flame, but even the Gu Clan's golden emperor burning heaven flame probably could not surpass his by too much.
Although most of the heavenly flames he had fused were relatively low-ranked, he had still combined seven of them. Their current power could pose a slight threat even to an Advanced Dou Sheng.
