Above the square, numerous figures entangled in flames stared coldly at Zhang Yuan, their gazes gleaming with merciless light.
"So many fire slaves!" Fire Spirit couldn't help but exclaim, "These are powerful beings refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, essentially a kind of alternative puppet."
"boom!"
As Huo Ling explained to the women, thousands upon thousands of fire-breathing figures flew towards Zhang Yuan like meteorites, seemingly trying to engulf him.
"Good thing, I'll gladly accept it."
In an instant, these flame figures were devoured and refined by the dark purple flames.
In the world of the Great Void Realm where the strange fire was placed, figures enveloped in flames kept appearing.
The weakest of these people is a Dou Zun, meaning they are Dou Zun-level puppets, the result of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's accumulation over ten thousand years.
While devouring the fire slaves of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and turning them into his own, Zhang Yuan charged forward, swallowing up any fire slaves that blocked his way.
He advanced a hundred feet in this way, and came to a huge door, where he raised his hand and gently clapped his hands.
boom!
The power of space surged, constantly impacting the giant gate, eventually blasting it apart with a deafening roar over time.
"Can we enter the Demon Flame Hall now?" Zhang Yuan asked, a look of anticipation on his face.
The fire slaves that have appeared so far are just appetizers; the truly powerful puppets are yet to come.
He flashed and appeared in a vast hall, where all he could see were milky white flames.
There were also countless fiery figures standing upright, seemingly suppressed by some kind of pressure in this space, and the source of the pressure was a giant fire dragon.
Zhang Yuan casually took all the fire slaves and fire dragons into the Void Realm, and then ventured deeper, entering one grand hall after another.
The situation was similar in each hall, but the number of fire slaves was decreasing, while their auras were becoming stronger.
"If we give it to Jing'er and let her build a battle formation of the Great Thousand Worlds and gather a certain battle intent, this batch of Fire Slave Army, which can be said to have been built with the foundation of the Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years, should be able to exert extremely strong combat power, and may even be comparable to the Earth Supreme."
Before long, Zhang Yuan had passed through three halls with almost identical environments, but his pace did not slow down in the slightest.
One Dou Zun is nothing in front of a Dou Sheng expert, but when ten thousand Dou Zun are put together, even a Dou Sheng expert has to be on guard. Not to mention that these fire slaves seem to be of one mind and their cooperation is almost perfect.
If mobilized using battle formations, a battle formation spirit can be formed, where all "fire slaves" are of one mind and body. The battle formation is one person, and the fire slaves are only a part of it.
Next, Zhang Yuan continued the tedious process of clearing levels, but since it was all about plundering fire slaves, he didn't feel particularly tired.
"So, a Fire Slave at the Dou Sheng level has finally appeared!"
After smashing down another massive palace gate, the women were almost tired of seeing him again, but Zhang Yuan's heart tightened as he noticed that the number of fire slaves appearing this time had decreased significantly.
To be precise, there was only one figure, and surprisingly, there were no flames surrounding him. At this moment, his eyes were closed as if he were in seclusion cultivating, and his body exuded an aura as tall as a towering mountain.
"It seems to be a four-star Dou Sheng!"
Medusa's stunningly beautiful face showed a solemn expression: "With such strength, you're also a fire slave?"
Four-star Dou Sheng poses no threat to most of them now.
The problem is that these four-star Dou Sheng are fire slaves of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
Just how terrifying is its true form?
“This isn’t entirely a fire slave,” Fire Spirit explained. “Unlike the previous ones who had become mere puppets, the owner of this figure still possesses his own intelligence and has autonomy compared to a true fire slave.”
"The appearance of a powerful figure at this level suggests that Lord Manor is very close to the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."
Hearing the women's conversation, Zhang Yuan laughed heartily: "This one is not a four-star Dou Sheng, but a five-star Dou Sheng, and he is a strong person among those of the same realm."
The women were secretly shocked. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame could even control a five-star Dou Sheng?
At this moment, Zhang Yuan looked at the man who was plain-looking and dressed, with eyes as cold as ancient ice, and said with his hands behind his back: "Ancestor Xiao Chen, it's time for you to wake up."
Ancestor Xiao Chen!?
"boom!"
As Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the void in front of the gaunt middle-aged man suddenly trembled, and then a...
A massive, blood-red axe, several meters in size and with an extremely exaggerated and bizarre appearance, appeared out of thin air and crashed heavily to the ground.
Zhang Yuan was not frightened at all. Instead, he took out a drop of Xiao Xuan's essence blood and burned it with strange fire.
The next moment, the drop of blood essence transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the man's brow.
"boom!"
The figure whose hands had just climbed onto the handle of the blood axe froze, a surge of emotion rising in his usually calm eyes, and a burst of intense light shot out from between his brows, gradually transforming into a rune.
"The Xiao Clan's Clan Mark?" Xiao Yan stared intently at the runes on the forehead of the blood-axe-wielding figure.
There was also the same rune between his eyebrows, which was clearly the unique clan mark of the Xiao clan.
Could this person be Xiao Chen, the Blood Axe, whom my cousin mentioned, and Xiao Xuan's ancestor's cousin?
"Who am I?!" Xiao Chen covered his head with both hands, his expression ferocious.
“You are Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Chen of the Blood Axe,” Zhang Yuan replied.
"Xiao Chen." As he murmured this name, Xiao Chen's eyes began to clear.
But the next moment, milky white flames surged from his body, suppressing his resurrected consciousness.
Zhang Yuan was prepared and appeared in front of Xiao Chen in an instant, releasing the True Dragon Divine Firmament Flame to devour the white flames.
Once the milky-white flames completely disappeared, Xiao Chen's consciousness fully returned. Sensing the familiar bloodline fluctuations on Zhang Yuan's body, he asked, "Are you a member of my Xiao clan?"
"I suppose so." Zhang Yuan took out a Nine Abyss Token and handed it to Xiao Chen, allowing him to complete the process of recognizing it as his own.
Then, Zhang Yuan had a thought and instructed Xiao Xuan to project through the Nine Abyss Token.
"Brother Xiao Xuan!" Xiao Chen's eyes widened in shock.
“Brother Chen, you’re still alive.” A genuine smile appeared on Xiao Xuan’s face.
The Xiao Clan has Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan, and they have now risen again. They will surely surpass their peak in the future.
As the ancestor, he was gratified to see his descendants succeed and was willing to be resurrected to contribute to the Xiao clan once again.
However, all his old friends in the Xiao clan had passed away, which sometimes made him feel lonely, so he could only reminisce with Gu Yuan and others.
Xiao Chen was resurrected, so he now has someone from the same era.
“Ancestor Xiao Chen, you and Ancestor Xiao Xuan can talk first. I’m going to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.”
Zhang Yuan opened the Void Realm, allowing Xiao Chen to enter the First Heaven where the Xiao family resided.
Although Xiao Xuan was outside the Demon Flame Space, he could communicate with Xiao Chen through the Nine Abyss Token.
If Xiao Chen wants to know the current situation of the Xiao clan, he can ask Xiao Xuan.
After teleporting Xiao Chen back to the Void Realm, Zhang Yuan continued forward and soon arrived at a long staircase. At the end of the staircase was a huge altar jade platform that was vaguely visible.
With a flick of his dragon-phoenix-wind-thunder wings, he appeared on the altar jade platform.
On this altar, a huge throne stands silently in the void, upon which sits a middle-aged man dressed in white robes. He has an eerily handsome appearance, and milky white flames swirl around him, transforming into various shapes.
There was no aura emanating from him, but Zhang Yuan felt a sense of pressure emanating from him, as if he were facing the great power of heaven and earth.
Sensing Zhang Yuan's arrival, the man slowly opened his eyes and said in a soft and kind voice, "Congratulations on coming here, you are destined to be here."
"Defeat me and you can obtain the essence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."
"Otherwise, you will become my fire slave."
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, conjured a stool behind him and sat down, then said slowly and deliberately, "Pure Lotus Demon Flame, you've already obtained the inheritance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, why pretend like this? Don't you hate the Pure Lotus Demon Saint the most right now?"
"After all, he sealed you here for nearly ten thousand years."
Upon hearing this, the handsome man's face turned cold.
"Kid, I sense that you're unique."
"If you willingly become my fire slave, I can leave your consciousness intact."
The handsome man spoke.
Zhang Yuan smiled.
"On the contrary, even if you beg for mercy, I will still kill you."
As they were speaking, a thought suddenly occurred to Zhang Yuan.
Close the door and release Xiao Yan!
Chapter 265 A Spirit Array Enough to Counter a Sovereign Earthly Being! Pure Lotus Demon Saint:
Nobody knows better than me
Resurrect, my love. Pshaw.
"Come out, Xiao Yanzi."
Zhang Yuan opened the portal to the Void Realm and summoned Xiao Yan from the Tomb Realm.
The moment Xiao Yan sensed the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he felt a burning sensation between his brows, and some information flooded into his mind.
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame's sharp gaze swept over Xiao Yan, its eyes immediately revealing disdain and fervor: "A mere two-star Dou Sheng, your strength is not even as good as yours. It's interesting that you have several different flames in your body. They are a great tonic for me. Is this the source of your confidence to challenge me?"
The smile on Jinglian Yaohuo's beautiful face now held a hint of mockery, and her icy aura spread, causing the surrounding space to freeze.
"Cousin, this is still an illusion!" Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, causing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame to pause with a barely perceptible surprise.
"Is it still an illusion?" The women in the Void Realm were all somewhat surprised.
Zhang Yuan has just subdued many fire slaves along the way and even sent Xiao Chen into the Void Realm, so how could it still be an illusion?
“I know.” Zhang Yuan nodded without any surprise and said, “From the very beginning, I have never left the illusion. This is the most terrifying thing about the Nightmare Mist. You know it’s fake, but you can’t see through it.”
"This is clearly a setup by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, designed to trap anyone who enters here, making them sink deeper and deeper until their fighting spirit is exhausted and they are completely devoured and become slaves to the flame."
"Even if I kill him now, I cannot leave this illusion, because the demonic fire space is within the illusion."
At this point, Zhang Yuan paused and explained to the women in the Taixu Realm, "The fire slaves I saw earlier were half real and half fake. I discovered this when I took the fire slaves into the Taixu Realm. The reason I didn't expose them was because I wanted to meet Ancestor Xiao Chen."
"There is truth within falsehood, and falsehood within truth. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame has an extremely strong grasp of people's hearts."
The women suddenly realized, and Xiao Yan, who was in the demonic fire space, nodded solemnly: "The Pure Lotus Demon Saint is a peak expert at the half-step Dou Di level, yet he was still devoured by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. This shows that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is indeed strange and powerful."
