The Demonic Flame Realm was established by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to purify the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame possessed a special effect that could purify all things. Anything that came into contact with it, even slightly, would disappear without a trace. It could enter the human body through emotions and purify the physique, soul, and even Battle Qi until they vanished. Its power was extremely terrifying.
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame itself possessed strength comparable to the peak of a five-star Dou Saint. Combined with its unique ability, it had power comparable to a six-star Dou Saint.
[In the Demonic Flame Realm, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had constructed the Refining Sky Ancient Formation to suppress and eliminate the violent tendencies in its heart.]
[After a long period of time, this Refining Sky Ancient Formation had been completely mastered by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.]
[If he remained inside the Demonic Flame Realm and received the help of the array's power, even a six-star Dou Saint would be no match for him.]
[However, since I possess Purple Beast Flame, I have nothing to fear.]
[Inside the Demonic Flame Realm is my Xiao Clan ancestor, Xiao Chen, who once tried to refine him.]
[If I refine the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, my ancestor will be freed, and my Xiao Clan will obtain a second Dou Saint.]
After recording this information in his Journal, Xiao Ting used his flying technique to reach the depths of the Demonic Flame Realm.
This place was an endless sea of lava, from which milky-white flames occasionally erupted.
Above the milky-white sea of lava floated countless massive rocks.
Above the rocks, another massive silver halo slowly rotated.
Here existed the nightmarish illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame — the unique technique he had inherited from the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.
However, since Xiao Ting possessed a half-step God-realm soul, he was not worried about being affected by the power of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
Furthermore, thanks to his journal and Gu Yuan, he had already collected all the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame diagram.
If Purple Beast Flame could not defeat the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the remnant of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint would control the Refining Sky Ancient Formation to complete the task.
"Purple Beast Flame, go!"
Xiao Ting raised his hand and released Purple Beast Flame.
The silver-purple flame shot straight toward the center of the light circle, emitting a terrifying aura.
Xiao Ting was currently a half-step five-star Dou Saint, and his Purple Beast Flame had also grown to the ninth stage. Its combat power was almost equal to Xiao Ting's.
"Who is it!?"
In the sea of lava, a rock pillar towered. Standing atop it was a handsome man in white robes.
With an expression of surprise and suspicion, he looked up and gazed at the Purple Beast Flame. He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his head.
"Are you… Flame God?"
"Tou She Ancient God?"
"No, you're not him. He wasn't this weak."
"No, that's not it. You are far more noble than him. He cannot compare to you at all."
"Submit?"
"I will never submit."
"No…"
"But…"
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame was powerful and extremely persistent. It was also skilled at creating illusions at the soul level.
Faced with the immense pressure brought by Purple Beast Flame, he instinctively felt fear and, deep in his heart, a desire to submit.
However, he stubbornly endured and refused to accept his fate.
He had mastered the Refining Sky Ancient Formation.
The next time the Demonic Flame Realm opened would be the day he escaped.
At that time, he could go to the Dou Qi Continent, act as he pleased, purify everything, and turn it into nourishment for his growth.
He had sworn revenge against the Heavenly Flame that had once devoured him. How could he submit to another flame?!
However, when Purple Beast Flame approached him, he couldn't help but kneel.
"No, I don't believe it!"
A fierce light flashed in the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's eyes.
He used his remaining soul force to activate the Refining Sky Ancient Formation.
He intended to use this ancient array to suppress Purple Beast Flame and buy himself some time to catch his breath.
Ideally, he would purify Purple Beast Flame. If that happened, his future would be…
"What!?"
A look of terror appeared on the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's face.
Suddenly, a diagram flew out from the void and disappeared into Purple Beast Flame.
In the next moment, he felt that he had lost control of the Refining Sky Ancient Formation.
A feeling he knew all too well surged up, and boundless hatred struck him. "Pure Lotus Demon Saint, you bastard!"
"You're already dead, yet you still want to harm me. If I had had a choice back then, you wouldn't have been able to reach your current position!"
"Damn it, damn it…!"
Amidst curses filled with rage, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was completely suppressed. He couldn't even exert a fraction of his cultivation.
He could only watch helplessly as Purple Beast Flame completely enveloped him. His consciousness gradually grew heavy.
His body's original essence began to be lost and consumed in large quantities.
"Purple Beast Flame is truly powerful."
The corner of Xiao Ting's mouth curled up slightly. He immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.
…
Meanwhile, in the Hun Realm.
Hu Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame returned one after another.
All four elders of the Hun Clan who had invaded the continent had been completely wiped out. Among them, the strongest had been the four Demon Saints, but even combined, they might not be able to match a single eight-star Dou Saint.
"Hu Tiandi, this is absolutely unforgivable!" A chilling rage rose in the Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes, which had turned pitch-black like holes.
He had almost succeeded in refining the entire Yao Clan to strengthen himself, but the result had been far too tragic.
"Of course, we can't just let this go." Hu Tiandi turned to the Nihility Devouring Flame and raised his hand to form a seal.
In the next moment, a sea of blood spanning hundreds of miles began to swirl at the very center of the Hun Realm. Within the accumulated blood energy, a remnant of Soul God appeared.
Immediately after, blood energy rapidly flowed into the barrier of the Hun Realm and completely fused with the void and the barrier.
The entire Hun Realm was completely sealed.
Sensing this situation, the Nihility Devouring Flame felt an ominous premonition. "Hu Tiandi, what are you planning to do!?"
What answered him was Hu Tiandi raising his hand and swinging his palm down, instantly collapsing the space within a ten-thousand-foot radius.
"Are you insane!?" the Nihility Devouring Flame roared as he desperately tried to protect himself. "You know I left bloodline marks on all the Dou Saints of the Hun Clan, yet you still dare to attack me? Aren't you afraid I'll take them down with me?"
"I don't care!" Hu Tiandi activated a quasi-God-level battle technique and commanded Soul God's remnant. "As long as I live, and as long as I step into the Dou God realm in the future, I don't care if everyone else in the Hun Clan dies. The Hun Clan will rise to greatness once again under my rule."
"Madman. You're a complete madman!" The Nihility Devouring Flame felt madness surging in his heart.
As the clan leader of the Hun Clan, he completely disregarded the lives of the Hun Clan members.
Did that mean they were doomed today?!
After the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had been suppressed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, he had openly and secretly mocked him, but in the end, he couldn't escape the same fate!
"Hu Tiandi, stop!" the Nihility Devouring Flame, who refused to be refined, roared. "If you take one more step, I'll self-destruct! Even if I can't kill you, I'll make you experience my power. Even if I can't defeat you, I'll severely damage the life force of the Hun Realm. Are you prepared for that?"
"Self-destruct!?"
A strange light flashed in Hu Tiandi's eyes. He chuckled faintly. "Go ahead and try."
Hmm?
The Nihility Devouring Flame felt increasingly uneasy.
He also possessed the determination to immediately trigger his own destruction.
However, in the next moment, a strange power surged from deep within his body and suppressed the source of that surging power.
The Nihility Devouring Flame's pitch-black pupils narrowed.
"What did you do to me!?"
"Did you tamper with the corpse of the Tunling Clan's clan leader!?"
…
