" Withering Poison Palm!"
The old man's palm was surging with purplish-black Dou Qi. This move was still the highly poisonous Withering Poison Palm!
Xiao Yan remained unmoved, after all, no matter how potent his Dou Technique were, they were still as if nothing were in front of the Heavenly Flames!
With a single punch, Xiao Yan unleashed all his strength, slamming it fiercely towards the old man's palm, which had turned purplish-black.
" Eight Extremes Collapse!"
With another Eight Extremes Collapse, Xiao Yan arrived in front of the old man in the blink of an eye, his right fist slamming into the withered hand.
"Bang!"
Their fist and palm struck and separated almost immediately, but before they could catch their breath, their figures collided again. The already pitch-black, Endless Void appeared even more desolate at this moment.
In just a short time, the two had exchanged no less than three hundred blows, each move ruthless and deadly. If neither of them had been extraordinary, they would have paid a heavy price.
The onlookers had already retreated to the far horizon. If they didn't escape to a safer place soon after such a massive battle, the many cultivators of Yanluo City would probably perish here today!
Above the Endless Void, Xiao Yan and the old man each stood on their own side of the sky.
Tiny beads of sweat clung to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's forehead, and occasionally some slid down his cheeks, dampening a corner of Xiao Yan clothes.
By this point, both of their auras were becoming somewhat unstable. Clearly, even though their strength had reached the level of Half-Emperor, they were still struggling to keep up with this endless battle.
"Hmph! Boy, after taking three hundred of my Withering Poison Palm, the poison has completely seeped into your body. With just a thought, the poison will erupt instantly, and today, you will surely die by my hand! Hehehehe..."
The old man, whose face was contorted and who looked utterly disheveled, had his long, gray hair cascading down his front, and his purplish-black robe was reduced to shreds. Yet, his gaze toward Xiao Yan was filled with bloodlust.
Upon hearing the madman's words, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with even more amusement.
Seeing this, the madman's twisted face contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with violence. He was now ready to savor the agony of Xiao Yan as the poison took effect.
The old man stared at Xiao Yan with a ferocious look in his eyes, a thought forming in his mind, waiting for the moment when Xiao Yan's face would show fear.
Unfortunately, for a full five breaths, under the old man's intense gaze, Xiao Yan remained motionless, merely watching him with a slight smile.
At this moment, a solemn expression appeared on the old man's distorted face, and his eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at Xiao Yan.
"How is this possible? How could you possibly control it! Even if you're an alchemist, even if you possess divine elixirs, there's absolutely no way you could completely suppress this Withering Poison Palm!"
"You... what exactly are you..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Xiao Yan had already made a move.
Xiao Yan stretched out his right hand, flat in front of him, pointing at the old man. A cold smile appeared on his lips. With a thought, a dazzling flame appeared in Xiao Yan's palm with a "poof".
Upon seeing the dazzling flames in Xiao Yan's palm, the old man's already distorted face suddenly tightened, and the prominent scars revealed grotesque, writhing grooves.
After a long while, the old man still stared intently at the flames in Xiao Yan's palm, his eyes vacant. Finally, a quarter of an hour later, he spoke in a hoarse, trembling voice, his face filled with disbelief:
"This... how is this possible... this is impossible! How could it be... Heavenly Flames! Impossible! All the Heavenly Flames in the world have already become spirits. If one is not an exceptionally talented person, how could one possibly gain their favor! You... how could you possibly obtain it!"
Faced with the old man's wild words, Xiao Yan scoffed. All the Heavenly Flames in the world have spirits, a point that Elder Gu had already told him.
But his Heavenly Flames originated from the Dou Qi Continent, so why did he need the approval of those guys? At this moment, the old man was spouting such nonsense, which naturally made Xiao Yan sneer.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan absorbed the Heavenly Flames into his body. A smile returned to his lips as he coldly sneered at the old man:
"We didn't get enough fun just now, let's play again!"
" Condensed Fire Finger!"
Xiao Yan Xiao Yan swiftly, arriving beside the old man. He extended a finger, and brilliant flames quickly enveloped it. Wherever his finger passed, heaven and earth were annihilated. The Endless Void, which had just begun to recover, was once again shattered into dust by this single finger.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, focused his Dou Qi spirit on his finger, and the dazzling flames seemed to solidify into a tangible form, carrying the aura of a soaring swan that could shatter heaven and earth, pointing directly at the vital point, intending to determine life or death with a single touch.
At this point, the old man no longer cared whether Xiao Yan had been empowered by Heavenly Flames. Regardless, the two of them were bound to have a great battle today. If he were to frighten Xiao Yan now, he would probably have no chance to fight again.
"Drink! So what if he's wielding Heavenly Flames! It's just a Heavenly Flame Origin! Let alone a wisp, even if it manifests in its entirety, I'll make sure he comes here alive, but doesn't leave alive!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly; it seemed that something inside him was a little unhappy.
Faced with Xiao Yan's finger strike, the old man dared not underestimate it. He forcibly turned his body in mid-air and met Xiao Yan's Condensed Fire Finger with his own finger.
" Poison Xuan Finger!"
This Poison Xuan Finger is also more solid than before, with all the dense, purplish-black Dou Qi condensed in one place, making this finger technique even more powerful than before.
"Boom!"
With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yan remained motionless, a cold smile on his face. Suddenly, his body trembled, and a tremendous force poured out from between his fingers, slamming into the old man.
"Bang!"
The old man was clearly struggling; the intense suppression of the Heavenly Flames was too much for him, even though he was Five-Star Half-Emperor.
Just as he retreated, Xiao Yan pursued him again. The old man's expression changed, and disregarding his disheveled state, he rolled in mid-air to dodge Xiao Yan's attack.
"Damn it! Boy, you're truly the first person to make this old man suffer such a humiliation. I admit you possess Heavenly Flames and are quite powerful, but even so, today, I will surely end you here!"
Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly trembled, and an overwhelming aura emanated from his body. He brought his withered hand to his chest, and with a series of swift movements of his fingers, he unleashed a series of intricate hand seals. Meanwhile, the old man's aura was rapidly increasing at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Boy, since you possess Heavenly Flames within you, making you a body of Heavenly Flames, then today, let's test my body of ten thousand poisons and see what my Body of Ten Thousand Poisons!"
Before he finished speaking, a purplish-black lotus poison mark appeared between the old man's twisted brows. With the appearance of this lotus poison mark, the old man's aura suddenly surged. His already powerful aura swept out like a monstrous wave, causing the entire Yanluo City to tremble at this moment.
The moment Xiao Yan saw the purplish-black poison mark between the old man's eyebrows, his brows furrowed tightly.
That old scoundrel is also Woeful Poison Body!
However, in just a moment, Xiao Yan's solemn expression returned to normal. Although he also possessed the Woeful Poison Body, this old scoundrel, like the Venerable Bing He before him, had created his Woeful Poison Body through artificial means, making him many times weaker than a true Woeful Poison Body.
Moreover, according to Xiao Yan's perception, this old scoundrel's Body of Ten Thousand Poisons was far inferior to that of the Venerable Bing He back then; it was essentially an unfinished, half-finished product.
"I was originally planning to play games with you a bit more, but since things are like this, dealing with you will be a piece of cake..."
Back then, in Xiao Yan's eyes, the Venerable Bing He was indeed extraordinary, able to endure the pain of transforming into the Woeful Poison Body. However, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Yan Xiao Yan somewhat interested in him. In addition, he was familiar with the meridians of the Woeful Poison Body. He had already thoroughly mastered the meridians that needed to be used in this half-finished product. Dealing with this old bastard now would be a piece of cake, requiring no effort at all!
"Hah! Arrogant brat, even with the protection of this Heavenly Flames, you will surely fall to my poisonous power today!"
" The Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, annihilated across ten thousand miles! The Great Wasteland Xuan Poison, destroyed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man shuddered violently, and his purplish-black Dou Qi surged out instantly, covering the entire world in a moment with the poisonous mist.
Even those who had retreated thousands of miles away saw their faces turn ashen and black under the poisonous fog, with dark blood flowing from their seven orifices. In just a moment, many who could be considered powerful figures in Yanluo City had turned into pools of blood and completely vanished into the world.
Even those who were not poisoned were desperately mobilizing the little Dou Qi they had left to envelop themselves and resist the attack.
At this moment, Yanluo City has been transformed into a dead city!
Wherever there were people, they were all turned into a pool of dead souls and blood. The land was desolate and lifeless. After this battle, Yanluo City would be devoid of life for the next hundred years!
Even so, Xiao Yan remained calm. As the poisonous fog approached, he slowly raised his hand, extended a finger, and a small, thumb-sized flame, seemingly about to be extinguished, slowly rose from between his fingers.
Immediately, Xiao Yan pointed out, and a ripple of flame, like water, spread out. Wherever the flame passed, the purplish-black poisonous mist in the world hissed as if it had encountered ice and snow in a raging fire, and then turned into a clear mist that dissipated into the void.
Upon seeing this, the old man's face contorted in shock, but before he could make a move, Xiao Yan's figure, who had been standing in the distance, flashed and used the Heavenly Severing Steps, appearing beside the old man in an instant.
" Fire Lotus, break!"
In the blink of an eye, countless miniature Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus appeared around Xiao Yan Xiao Yan. He clenched his right fist and unleashed a powerful punch at the old man.
"Boom!"
With a deafening explosion, the entire area was instantly swallowed by the Endless Void. The poisonous mist that filled the sky vanished in an instant, and the raging waves of Dou Qi were completely absorbed by the Endless Void only when they reached the countless people...
After the initial shock, the crowd retreated another thousand miles, fearing further entanglement.
Half-Emperor level experts are truly terrifying. Even the heavens and earth cannot restrain them. It's unimaginable what kind of power those true continental peak experts would unleash. With a single palm strike, the entire continent would probably crumble instantly!
After a long while, this place returned to its natural state.
Before everyone's eyes, the old man with the distorted face had his robes torn to shreds, and his entire body was covered in blood, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the old man's body actually appeared slightly illusory!
In order to fight against Xiao Yan, this old bastard actually destroyed his Half-Emperor body!
Looking at Xiao Yan, although he was much better than this old scoundrel, the palm print on his chest was still quite conspicuous.
The dark red palm print told everyone that even Xiao Yan, who was empowered by a Heavenly Flames, could not avoid being corroded by the poisonous energy under the old man's full-force attack. The old man's full-force attack was truly terrifying!
This old bastard, at the very last moment, actually risked his life to take Xiao Yan down with him, sacrificing all his essence and blood, gathering all his poisonous energy, and using his own body as a medium to self-destruct his Half-Emperor body and clash with Xiao Yan!
Unfortunately, even so, Xiao Yan, who was empowered by Heavenly Flames, was unable to seriously injure the old man even when he forcefully resisted with the Emperor Flame!
The power of this Heavenly Flames is evident!
"Cough cough... you... your Heavenly Flames, what kind of... Heavenly Flames is it...?"
At this point, the old man finally saw the situation clearly. Xiao Yan seemed ordinary, but his explosive power was enough to rival his own. In addition, with the protection of the Heavenly Flames, his proud poison was useless. Although it could corrode Xiao Yan, if he really wanted to, Xiao Yan could definitely remove it by paying a high price. Therefore, he was bound to lose this battle today. This was a foregone conclusion!
Upon hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan knew in his heart that these must be his dying words. If that was the case, what harm was there in saying them?
Xiao Yan paused slightly, then fixed his gaze on the old man, parted his lips slightly, and spoke in a calm voice that reached the old man's ears alone.
"This fire is called the Emperor Flame."
In an instant, the old man's eyes widened, his gaze filled with terror, and he kept muttering that word to himself.
" Emperor Flame... Emperor Flame..."
"Tsk tsk, Yu Du, who would have thought that you, a traitor of the Tribulation Crossing Sect, would end up like this... Hehehehehe..."
Suddenly, a sinister and sarcastic voice quietly echoed from the void, causing the entire space to freeze slightly.
Xiao Yan's expression instantly darkened after that sound was heard.
" Third Hall Master, you've finally shown up!"
