Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

Xiao Yan then completely disregarded everything and grabbed Huo Zhi, heading back without looking back.

It wasn't that Xiao Yan didn't want revenge, but the person before him was definitely the fourth member of the Soul Clan. Ling Fengzhui had already warned Xiao Yan that this person was a Dou Sheng and that he must be careful. Moreover, the fact that this person had broken his Devouring Vortex with a single strike proved that he was indeed extraordinary.

Even if his strength were still at its peak, facing such a person would already be a formidable enemy, not to mention that his battle qi was now extremely depleted. Forcibly killing Tang Qiying now seemed impossible; he could only allow him to escape again, as his own and Huo Zhi's lives were the most important.

The Heavenly Tomb Gathering is scheduled for three years, and not even a year has passed yet. As long as Tang Qiying and the Soul Clan are here, they will definitely find opportunities to deal with them.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. Forcing them to stay will only lead to certain death!

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he had no way out!

A suffocating, terrifying pressure, like four invisible mountains, suddenly appeared from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, instantly blocking all their possible escape routes!

Four figures appeared silently, like ghosts, less than ten thousand feet away from them in the void. These four had long, powerful auras, clearly indicating that they were also Dou Sheng level experts.

Their bodies were somewhat translucent and ethereal, emanating a dense, cold, and deathly aura; they were not living people, but rather the necromantic energy forms of powerful beings from the Heavenly Tomb. Moreover, judging from their current behavior, they were very likely all powerful members of the Soul Clan in their previous lives!

Within the Heavenly Tomb lie the souls of numerous powerful beings, including those of the Soul Clan. The Soul Clan members were even faster than he was; before he even met Ancestor Xiao Xuan, they had already located the souls of four powerful Soul Clan members.

Four Dou Sheng energy beings, plus the unfathomably powerful black-robed Soul Clan figure in front, made a total of five Dou Sheng-level beings, locking Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi firmly in the center.

A net so tight it's impossible to escape.

Faced with this desperate situation, Huo Zhi instinctively bit her lower lip and moved closer to Xiao Yan. She knew all too well what the Soul Clan's attitude was towards the Flame Clan, and now only from Xiao Yan could she find some sense of security.

"Transfer all your power to me. Now, if we want to leave, we have no choice but to fight for our lives!" Xiao Yan whispered to Huo Zhi.

Huo Zhi gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing her emotions, and nodded emphatically. Her fair hands pressed tightly against Xiao Yan's back. She knew what Xiao Yan wanted to do, and she chose to trust him without reservation.

Xiao Yan unleashed the Dou Qi that had just been restored within his body, along with all the power transmitted from Huo Zhi, without reservation. At the same time, the other three different flames had returned to Xiao Yan's body from the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body.

Five flames, each a different color yet equally ferocious, converged and fused wildly above his palm. The five colors intertwined, and a destructive wave, powerful enough to make even a Dou Sheng change color, emanated from the palm-sized ball of five-colored light.

The Five-Colored Fire Lotus can only be used with the blessing of the Fire-Child Red Lotus Karmic Fire to find a sliver of hope in this deadly situation.

The five-colored fire lotus shone brighter and brighter, and the aura of destruction grew stronger and stronger.

Just as Xiao Yan was condensing the Fire Lotus, the mysterious man in black robes seemed oblivious to everything around him. He slowly raised a slender hand, his movements elegant and composed. He drew the black flames that had just escaped into his palm, within which Tang Qiying's twisted soul flickered.

"Xiao Yan, the wheel of fortune really does turn! I never thought your death would come so soon!" Tang Qiying said to Xiao Yan with a smug look on his face.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the destruction of his physical body, he had now found reinforcements from the Soul Clan, and it seemed that Xiao Yan was the one who would die anyway. If he could send Xiao Yan to his death first, the destruction of his own physical body didn't seem so unacceptable.

Tang Qiying then reminded those around her, "Friend of the Soul Clan, act quickly! This man is Xiao Yan, a remnant of the Xiao Clan. He possesses multiple different flames and is cunning and treacherous; he must not be allowed to live! He appears weak now, but he is secretly fusing different flames, preparing to unleash an extremely terrifying killing move. I suffered a great loss from this move, my physical body was destroyed. Be careful, we must not give him any chance..."

Before Tang Qiying could finish speaking, a cold, emotionless voice rang out: "Shut up!"

The voice even carried a chilling, intimidating force, abruptly stopping Tang Qiying's inflammatory words.

The man in black robes then stretched out his hands and formed an extremely complex hand seal. As soon as the seal was formed, the man in black robes cut open one of his palms, and thick blood flowed from his palms and was absorbed by the seal. Finally, under the control of the man in black robes, the seal went directly into the very center of the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Fire.

Tang Qiying's soul raised his hand to stop it, but unexpectedly, the mark had no effect on him whatsoever.

With this movement, the Void Devouring Flame also transformed into a face, then revealed a wicked smile, and a strange laugh appeared. Tang Qiying, who was enveloped in black flames at the center, felt a chill run down his spine when he heard it.

Then the black-robed man extended his slender fingers and summoned the Void Devouring Flame into his palm. The black flame licked the wound on his palm, seemingly using blood to confirm the black-robed man's identity.

After establishing contact, the Void Devouring Flame sub-fire, like the most docile pet, danced around the mysterious black-robed man.

Tang Qiying was surprised to find that the Void Devouring Flame was not obeying his commands, but instead obeying the orders of the person in front of him!

Tang Qiying wanted to leave the Black Flame, but found that she could not escape at all and was trapped inside the Black Flame.

What terrified Tang Qiying even more was that he clearly felt his remnant soul power being slowly and continuously devoured by this Void Devouring Flame.

Before, whether it was fighting or fleeing, Tang Qiying felt that it was just a strange feeling brought about by his excessive consumption. Now that he had calmed down, he was surprised to realize that he had actually been used as nourishment for this Void Devouring Flame. Fear reappeared.

"What's going on... How could this black flame be like this..."

And that emotionless voice rang out again: "What's going on? Of course, we'll devour you completely, you useless piece of trash. After all, this fire has been starving for a long time."

"If it weren't for it, why would I have come to this Heavenly Tomb?"
