Chapter 621: Fierce Battle with the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame
Above an endless sea of milky white magma, gigantic boulders floated in the air. Between the clusters of boulders behind them, there was a milky white circle of light. It symbolized that ever since they entered the demonic flame space, they had been trapped in an illusion, never truly advancing. All the demonic flame halls they thought they had crossed were part of this illusion.
The people of the Dan League couldn't help but swallow hard, a deeper understanding of the terrifying capabilities of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame settling in their hearts.
"Lord Xiao Ze, could this still be an illusion?" one of the Dan League's Dou Saints asked, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Of course not, this is the interior of the demonic flame space," Xiao Ze replied, looking toward a nearby boulder where figures were awakening from the illusion. By breaking the illusion at a single point, Xiao Ze had disrupted the whole, allowing others to also break free from its grasp.
"Whew I can't believe everything before was just an illusion!" exclaimed Huo Xuan of the Yan Clan, drawing in a sharp breath in shock. The veiled beauty beside him also showed a hint of astonishment. Such methods were indeed staggering.
"It turns out we all owe a debt to Lord Xiao Ze. Without his intervention, we might have remained stuck in the illusion forever, eventually becoming fire minions of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame," said a Dou Saint in a yellow robe, bowing in thanks to Xiao Ze.
"It's nothing. The real challenge starts now; let the best man win," Xiao Ze responded, gesturing dismissively before everyone's attention was caught by something in the distance.
In the midst of the milky white magma sea, a massive column of magma slowly rose. Defying gravity, the magma formed a pillar, at the top of which stood a man in a white robe. The sudden silence fell over the scene as greedy and fervent gazes turned towards the man in white. Their keen eyes recognized that the man's true form was the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame.
"This Pure Lotus Demonic Flame now poses such a huge threat that it has immersed us all in an illusion without our awareness," someone muttered.
"We must prevent it from breaking the seal and escaping to the Central Plains; otherwise, it would bring disaster to all living beings," voiced Yao Wan Gui, his eyes filled with intense greed. Given the current power of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, his greed was even stronger. If he could refine the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, his own strength would also improve significantly.
Not only did he hold the position of Elder of Punishments within the Yao Clan, but he did not possess any demonic fire. If he could control the third ranked Pure Lotus Demonic Flame on the demonic fire list, his alchemy skills would also rise.
Should he refine the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, both his alchemy skills and his standing in the clan would soar. How could he not be tempted?
Like Yao Wan Gui, many shared similar thoughts. However, the man in the white robe ignored the many heated and greedy gazes around him, focusing solely on Xiao Ze.
"Why were you able to break my Nightmare Illusion?" the man in white demanded.
"By force," Xiao Ze replied offhandedly, causing the man's expression to darken.
Xiao Ze's casual answer made the man feel as if all his schemes over the past thousand years were a joke. "Ha, ha, ha! 'By force,' you say? I'd like to see just how powerful you are!"
The man in white grasped, and from the milky white magma sea, a towering white flame halberd materialized. At the same time, his figure swelled against the wind, transforming into a colossal fiery figure wielding the white halberd, bursting forth with boundless power.
"Peak Five Star Dou Saint!" The presence alone alarmed many onlookers, as such a force was not something even Dou Saints could easily contend with. People began retreating, some even contemplating escaping the demonic flame space.
However, when they turned to look at the location where the white circle of light had been, they discovered it had silently disappeared! A foreboding sense filled their hearts.
Faced with the giant fiery figure, Meidusha stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Xiao Ze. Her hand rested on the hilt of her multicolored sword, revealing a blade so sharp it seemed to tear at the soul with a mere glance.
The white flame giant swung its halberd, sending a colossal wave of milky white fire rolling towards Xiao Ze and the others. Clang a resounding clash of the sword being drawn echoed, as a brilliant spectrum of sword qi tore through the sky, slicing the giant wave in two.
Meidusha hesitated before swinging her sword horizontally, her overwhelming sword qi colliding with the white flames. Although she managed to split the wave, the spreading white fire still threatened to engulf the many Dan League members behind her.
Those behind Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief. If they had faced the immense wave of white fire themselves, they would have been incinerated in an instant. Watching from a great distance, Yao Wan Gui was horrified by the realization that the Dan League had concealed a Five Star Dou Saint among them. If previous conflicts with the Dan League had escalated, he might have already perished.
Despite Meidusha's efforts to block the nearby wave, she was powerless against the expanding white flames, which filled an area of tens of thousands of feet. The intense heat instantly vaporized the powerful Dou Zun experts, who didn't even have a chance to scream before they were reduced to blood mist and then nothingness.
As the white flames spread, the Hall Lord of the Soul Hall waved his sleeves, silently absorbing the white flames. "Xiao Ze! Your Dan League has now violated the rules of the continent! No one above a Five Star Dou Saint should take action!"
Ignoring the numerous figures being annihilated by the white flames around him, he directly addressed Xiao Ze. His voice boomed, yet those fleeing for their lives paid him no heed. Xiao Ze, standing behind Meidusha, turned to face the Hall Lord.
"Heh, your Soul Clan has the nerve to accuse my Dan League, yet aren't you already at the early stages of a Five Star Dou Saint? Don't stand there barking madly. I think this demonic flame space will be your burial site, and then I'll come for you afterward!"
