Fights Break Sphere: The Beginning of the Fighting Saint Legacy

"Roar!"

The axe cleaved down, but the energy shield was not in my fault. The gaunt man did not let go. With a movement, he appeared above Xiao Jue.

The enormous, blood-red axe tore through the void with a hiss, unleashing a destructive force as it slashed down directly at Xiao Jue!

As the giant axe cleaved down, a clan mark quickly appeared between Xiao Jue's brows!

"Buzz!"

The enormous blood-red axe rapidly enlarged in Xiao Jue's eyes, but when it was only half a foot away from his head, the blood-red axe suddenly froze.

Then, a flicker of emotion finally appeared on the face of the gaunt man with an unusually cold expression, his face like a zombie.

"The Xiao Clan..."

As he murmured the word, a flicker of emotion appeared in the gaunt man's indifferent eyes. He looked at Xiao Jue in front of him, and gradually, a strange feeling began to arise in his heart—that familiar feeling… the feeling of blood ties.

"You...you're from the Xiao clan?"

The gaunt man's mouth was slightly open, and a hoarse voice finally came from his lips.

"who am I?"

Xiao Jue said, "You are Xiao Chen, Blood Axe Xiao Chen!"

"Xiao Chen?" The gaunt man frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

"The Xiao clan once produced a person of extraordinary talent. This person's signature weapon was an extremely large blood axe, and this person was named Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Jue stared at the gaunt man and said, "Xiao Chen has amazing talent. He is Xiao Xuan's cousin, but he doesn't like to be restrained and is unpredictable."

"Before he became famous, countless powerful figures had perished under his axe, but later he disappeared without a trace, and no matter how the Xiao clan searched, they could not find him."

"By the way, shortly after his disappearance, news of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appeared..."

Upon hearing Xiao Jue's words, Xiao Chen's face showed a hint of struggle, as if he were resisting something.

Xiao Chen leaned on the giant axe, his body trembling, while faint milky-white flames gradually emerged from his pores.

Xiao Jue strode over to Xiao Chen's side and slapped him hard on the shoulder. As soon as his hand touched Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's trembling body strangely stopped, and the milky white flames that were about to burst out of his body slowly dissipated.

"call!"

Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths, and after a moment he raised his head, looking at the clan mark on Xiao Jue's forehead with a complicated expression, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is the Xiao clan now?"

Xiao Jue remained silent, then said softly, "The Xiao clan no longer exists..."

He then briefly described the current situation of the Xiao family.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Xiao Chen remained silent, but drops of crimson blood slowly slid from his clenched fist. After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly, "Even Brother Xiao Xuan has perished..."

Looking at Xiao Chen, whose fists were clenched and whose face was bowed, Xiao Jue sighed softly. He knew that the former was filled with regret, but even if he stayed in the Xiao clan, the Xiao clan would probably still not escape that fate, because Xiao Xuan's plan was doomed to failure from the moment it began. Xiao Jue said softly, "This is the Demon Flame Space. Please take us to where the Demon Flame is."

"You are no match for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame." Xiao Chen shook his head, his voice still hoarse.

"Take me there." Xiao Jue smiled slightly, but his eyes gleamed.

"follow me."

Xiao Chen raised his head, looked at Xiao Jue for a moment, and finally slowly got up, then turned and walked towards the last palace gate.

"Crench!"

Xiao Jue silently followed behind Xiao Chen, watching him slowly push open the giant door. Behind the door was a staircase that stretched to the end, and at the end of the staircase, a huge altar stone platform could be vaguely seen.

Looking at the altar stone platform at the end, Xiao Jue smiled faintly, took the lead in stepping onto the stone steps, and then walked step by step towards the end. Behind him, Xiao Chen hesitated slightly, but quickly followed.

The two climbed the stone steps in silence. After about ten minutes, they finally approached the altar. Xiao Jue looked up and saw a huge throne standing silently on the altar.

On that throne, a figure dressed in white robes sat quietly cross-legged, with wisps of milky white flames swirling around him, constantly changing into various shapes.

The white-robed figure simply sat quietly, without emitting any aura. However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, that figure was incredibly strange.

As the two stepped onto the altar, the white-robed figure finally opened his eyes, revealing a stunning smile on his handsome face.

"Defeat me and you will obtain the source of the demonic fire; otherwise, you will remain here forever as my fire slaves."

His voice was soft and kind, yet it seemed to make the entire space tremble.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame... It seems you have already obtained the inheritance of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. Otherwise, you would not have been able to cultivate Nightmare Heavenly Mist to this level. I have to admit that the illusions you create are realistic enough that even a soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm cannot see through them. However, no matter how realistic an illusion is, it is still an illusion."

Xiao Jue's deep voice echoed quietly on the altar, and the gentle smile on the handsome man's face gradually froze.

The smile on the handsome face of the white-robed man slowly faded, replaced by an eerie chill. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Jue, and although he did not speak, the surrounding space trembled violently like ripples on water.

"Illusion?"

Xiao Chen, who was standing to the side, was also startled by Xiao Jue's words, and then seemed to suddenly understand: "You mean we are still in an illusion?"

"I am real!" Xiao Chen frowned. In his senses, he was absolutely real; there was no illusion about him!
“We are all real.” Xiao Jue’s gaze was also fixed on the white-robed man, and he said softly, “But we are indeed trapped in an illusion, which is the most terrifying part of Nightmare Mist.”

"If we continue to follow the arrangements of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, we will only sink deeper and deeper until we become its slaves. Even if we fight a great battle here and kill it, we will still remain in the illusion."

Xiao Chen frowned upon hearing this and said, "So you mean that all the fire slaves you encountered, including myself, were illusions?"

Xiao Jue shook his head, looked at Xiao Chen, and said softly, "There is truth within falsehood, and falsehood within truth. This is what makes the Pure Lotus Demon Flame so terrifying. You are not an illusion, but also real."
