Their gaze easily pierced through the light emanating from the lava, clearly seeing a tall, handsome young man dressed in magnificent robes.
The young man's eyes were closed, and an invisible sense of majesty was revealed between his brows. His long, fiery red hair was like a blazing flame, giving people the feeling of an incarnation of fire, a person of all fire.
"Even though we both play with fire, his strength surpasses that of my useless older brother," Fire Spirit commented.
“That’s normal, isn’t it?” Zi Yan stood behind Zhang Yuan with a smile: “The Eight Ancient Masters are teachers with the strength of a Perfect Earthly Sovereign.”
"My Yan Clan is still descended from the Dou Di, it's just a pity that the lineage has been broken," Huo Ling sighed.
“Actually, you can’t beat this Flame Lord right now.” Zhang Yuan said, “The eight ancient lords have all mastered the Ancestral Symbol to a certain extent. The Ancestral Symbol is formed from the rules of this world and is also a channel for the strong to comprehend the power of the Supreme.”
"To some extent, the Eight Ancient Lords are now in human form as Ancestral Symbols, but some core techniques still need to be performed with the help of Ancestral Symbols."
"So although this Flame Lord is only at the peak of the third level of the Reincarnation Realm, which is similar to a nine-star Dou Sheng, he is stronger than you, an eighth-grade Supreme. If he had the Flame Ancestral Symbol, he would be even stronger."
Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit was not annoyed. Instead, it asked, "Where is that Flame Ancestral Symbol? Can I get my hands on it and study it?"
The fire spirit, formed from the rules of flames possessing supreme power in a lower plane, felt that if it could comprehend them, it could quickly reach the level of the Earthly Sovereign.
“The Flame Ancestral Symbol already has a new owner, but I will help you get it.” Zhang Yuan said without hesitation, “At that time, giving him a strange fire as a legacy will actually be more beneficial.”
The Eight Ancestral Symbols and the Strange Flames of the Dou Qi Continent are both things of heaven and earth, and each has its own merits and demerits.
There are only eight of the eight ancestral symbols, among which the Flame Ancestral Symbol is unique.
After mastering the Plane Embryo, Zhang Yuan had to retrieve the Eight Ancestral Symbols, as they were the most suitable "weapons." Of course, it was fine to keep them for his women to protect themselves.
And the strange fire can become the private property of the Flame God Temple, just like the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in the Ancient Clan and the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in the Burning Flame Valley, and can be passed down from generation to generation.
"My husband is so good." Huo Ling laughed, her eyes alluring and seductive.
"I'm heartbroken. I thought I was the most special one." Zi Yan took out an ancestral talisman and played with it as if she were manipulating space.
This is the Ancestral Symbol of Space. Zhou Tong asked Ying Xuanzi to pass it on to Zhang Yuan as a token of gratitude for saving his life.
Although Zi Yan is now a dragon-phoenix, her bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon has not disappeared but has been strengthened. Obtaining the Space Ancestral Symbol will allow her to better control the power of space, and comprehend the laws of space, which will also help her become stronger faster.
“I will use the Thunder Ancestral Symbol myself. I will give the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to Cai’er. The Devouring Ancestral Symbol is a good match for the Nine-Colored Devouring Python. The Dark Ancestral Symbol can be given to Qing Tan in the future. It is a good match for the Black Sky Clan. I will leave the Frost Ancestral Symbol to Huan Huan.”
"We cannot favor one over the other. The Life and Death Ancestral Symbol can be given to Qingzhu. You can discuss the Primordial Ancestral Symbol yourselves. Whoever wants it can keep it. If no one uses it, I will keep it in the Bodhi Realm to facilitate people's comprehension and use of the Primordial Power to strengthen their physical bodies."
Zhang Yuan already had a plan in mind regarding the ownership of the eight ancestral symbols.
The women nodded. They would discuss such matters in private, and there was nothing sordid about it.
"go with!"
Zhang Yuan flicked his fingers and shot out the Emperor Flame that he had separated from his hand.
The crimson jade coffin floated silently on the lava lake. Although it was not large, it contained extremely terrifying power, which was enough to activate and support the operation of this massive lava formation.
Emperor Yanzi Yan landed on the array's core, unleashing boundless flame power that made the tens of thousands of feet-long array even more dazzling, while also highlighting the darkness of the space below.
This enormous magma array, spanning 100,000 feet, bound a dark space like chains. The darkness there was only gradually illuminated by the imperial flames, revealing an extreme and profound darkness, imbued with an eerie quality.
This formation, built in the lava world, actually divides the world into two halves: the upper part is the lava plaza, and the lower part is the dark world. It is clearly sealing something away.
"This great formation is refining and suppressing something, but it seems to be struggling a lot. What is it?" Qing Yanjing asked curiously.
Yun Yun, who was the weakest of the women at the moment, looked down into the darkness and felt a chill rise from the depths of her soul, making her feel somewhat uneasy.
“This is a Demon Suppression Prison,” Zhang Yuan explained. “During the War of Heaven and Earth, the Demon Suppression Prison was set up by the Ancestor of Symbols to trap and refine the alien demons. It was suppressed by powerful clans and forces.”
"Some forces have been infiltrated and greatly weakened in order to suppress the Demon Suppression Prison. This is a tragic corner of the ancient war."
"The Flame Lord is suppressing a Demon-Suppressing Prison, but it's not very large."
Upon hearing this, the women were all quite surprised. They could feel how terrifying the power filled the dark space below was; even though they were at the Supreme Realm, they still felt a headache coming on.
"You say the Flame Lord is stronger than me, yet he has been unable to completely refine a small demonic prison even after nearly ten thousand years, relying on the great formation?" Huo Ling asked in surprise.
According to Lin Xueyao, the Otherworldly Demons are a very backward branch among the extraterrestrial evil races, and they don't even rank highly.
But the level they've shown so far is perhaps a bit too strong.
"Two reasons," Zhang Yuan explained. "During the ancient war, the Flame Lord was seriously injured and almost perished, needing to be reincarnated. Fortunately, the Devouring Lord saved him."
"He is here to suppress the demonic prison, but he is also slowly healing himself with the help of the formation."
"Although this Demon-Suppressing Prison is small in scale, it has a terrifying creature inside."
“The Great Heavenly Demon King!” Ling Hanyi’s pupils shrank as she exclaimed, “Is that the mount of the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, the Great Heavenly Demon King, whose strength is second only to the Heavenly King’s Palace?”
Having just eliminated a Great Heavenly Demon at Yuanmen, she knew a little about this monstrous creature.
"Hmm." Zhang Yuan nodded: "So, we still need to use some methods."
Wow.
As Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the light on the lava array below grew increasingly intense and began to shrink.
The deathly, eerie darkness began to tremble, emitting countless low, rattling sounds of chains, causing the space above to shake violently.
However, under the suppression of the shrinking formation, the dark space also began to shrink visibly.
"Roar!"
A sharp sound rang out from the depths of darkness, powerful enough to shatter a soul beneath the heavens.
The darkness seemed to come alive, writhing wildly and transforming into a gigantic, ten-thousand-foot-long dark hand that slammed directly into the stone coffin in the center of the magma array.
Although the magma array was shrinking, the power on it was becoming more and more solid, as firm as a rock, blocking the giant hand's attack. Countless molten lava flowed along the "chains" and merged into countless massive black chains thousands of feet long.
These obscure and complex runes now glowed with a fiery red light.
"Roar!"
With a series of roars, the formation shrank to a size of ten thousand feet, and the dark space was compressed to an extremely small size.
At this moment, the man inside the crimson jade coffin slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Yuan with surprise: "Senior is an Ancestral Realm expert?"
With a casual move, he strengthened the spiritual array beneath him, allowing him to recover one or two more points from his injuries, which had already healed five or six points, and also annihilated all the demons in the Demon Suppression Prison except for the Great Heavenly Demon King.
He could only achieve this level of performance if he were at his peak and using all his strength.
“I cannot be called a senior. Lord Yan is a man of great righteousness. You may call me Emperor Yuan.” Zhang Yuan said, “In terms of strength, you are considered a lower-level Ancestral Realm cultivator, not as strong as the Great Perfection of the Ancestral Realm back then, which was the Fu Ancestor.”
A strange light flickered in Yan Zhu's eyes; he seemed to understand Zhang Yuan's words, but not quite.
But Zhang Yuan was already very familiar with this situation and directly pointed out a finger.
Upon receiving the soul's message, the Flame Lord immediately gained an understanding of the entire world and all its affairs.
"So it turns out that the teacher comes from a world called Daqian. The Otherworldly Demons are an extraterrestrial evil race, and the extraterrestrial evil race is the enemy of all races in Daqian. Junior Sister is also from Daqian."
The Yan Clan gained many insights and understood many things they couldn't understand before.
"Emperor Yuan, according to you, I have taken the wrong path?" Yan Zhu's mouth tasted bitter.
Actually, the Lord of Devouring mentioned this matter back then, saying that it's not true that one can gain explosive power by undergoing tribulation.
However, in order to fight against the alien demons, they did not think it through, and only now do they realize that it was a temporary measure by the talisman master.
“There’s no need to worry about Lord Yan.” Zhang Yuan chuckled. “Back then, you were a bit too eager to grow, but you were seriously injured and on the verge of death. You spent nearly ten thousand years in a deep sleep, slowly recovering. Once your foundation was rebuilt, it’s now stable, and there’s not much difference between you and someone who is normally cultivating the Reincarnation Realm.”
"You once possessed the Ancestral Symbol. As long as you obtain enough Supreme Power in the future, you can transform the Wheel of Reincarnation and transform it into a Dharma Body that suits you in the Great Thousand Worlds. The Earthly Sovereign will definitely not be your end."
Upon hearing this, the Flame Lord, being a powerful figure himself, immediately composed himself.
He looked at Zhang Yuan and asked in confusion, "Emperor Yuan, with your strength you could easily suppress the Great Heavenly Demon King, why did you spare his life?"
The formation here has been reinforced, so even if he leaves temporarily, he is not afraid that the Great Heavenly Demon King will run away and cause trouble, but he did not do so.
Because the formation could also help him heal, and he wanted to kill the Great Heavenly Demon King completely.
But originally, it didn't need to be this complicated!
Zhang Yuan must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.
Moreover, he sensed a familiar fluctuation emanating from Zhang Yuan.
Chapter 275 Can I, Lord Yan, be an Envoy of the Abyss? The Abyss Emperor has a keen eye for people.
When Yuanwei
"Lord Yan, you should understand the principle of a cornered dog will jump over the wall, right?"
Zhang Yuan took a step forward and stood opposite the Flame Lord, a slight smile on his face.
When Yan Zhu looked closely at Zhang Yuan, he saw a lightning dragon pattern between his eyebrows and immediately felt a burning sensation, which shook his primordial spirit.
He felt as if he were seeing the Flame Emperor. As the former controller of the Flame Ancestral Symbol in this plane, he could be said to be the ancestor of fire manipulation. Yet, at this moment, he felt extremely insignificant, like a servant meeting his master.
He is not the Flame Lord; the other party is!
After a short while, he regained his composure and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting.
“Emperor Yuan, I have fought against those demons for many years and I know their strength very well.”
"In that battle, the Otherworldly Demons also suffered heavy injuries, and the strongest members of the Heavenly King Palace and others certainly haven't recovered yet."
"Even if they recover, they are nothing but ants in your eyes, easily crushed with a flick of your wrist."
Back when the Ancestral Symbol Ancestor and the Demon Emperor fought, only they were qualified to watch from afar, and they even needed to use the Ancestral Symbol for protection.
Even though the battle between a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign and a Quasi-Netherworld Demon Emperor would be suppressed in this lower plane, it was still beyond their reach.
The aftershocks of such a clash between powerful individuals are something they cannot withstand.
Now that the Demon Emperor has been sealed away, Zhang Yuan's strength is comparable to that of a lower-level Earthly Sovereign, and he can kill Demons as easily as slaughtering dogs.
“You’re right. The alien demons left in this plane are nothing in front of me, but there are reasons why I haven’t made a move, and there are several.”
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and conjured up a scene, which was the scene when the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace led people to wipe out the Yuan Sect that day.
"The people in this direction have been living in peace for too long and need to be vigilant."
The Flame Lord's eyes flickered slightly, and he recognized the figure of the Great Heavenly Demon at a glance. He said in a deep voice, "Someone has defected to the Otherworldly Demon Clan?"
Zhang Yuan nodded first, then shook his head and said, "You know the Four Great Mystic Domains. The Eastern Mystic Domain is ruled by eight sects with only experts at the Reincarnation Realm. Within the Eastern Mystic Domain is the Demon Realm, which constantly reminds these people of the sacrifices and tragedies of their ancestors."
"However, the Yuan Sect, which is recognized as the strongest among the eight major sects, is secretly searching for the corpses of the alien demons and using their power to cultivate. The third sect leader of the Yuan Sect even fused himself with the corpse of a Great Heavenly Demon who was comparable to the Second Reincarnation Realm in life."
"How dare they!" The Yan Clan was furious: "Such treacherous people should be killed a hundred times over, never to be reincarnated, and forever condemned to the pillar of shame."
The war between heaven and earth was incredibly fierce back then. The people of this land united as one to resist, and only through the sacrifice of the Ancestral Symbol did they achieve a pyrrhic victory, and even that was only a temporary one. The demons could return at any time.
