Since the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, dormant for a thousand years, suddenly appeared and stirred up the winds and clouds of the Central Plains, more than a month has quietly passed.

The demonic fire space had already closed again, and the overwhelming, earth-shattering pressure of the demonic fire had completely subsided, as if it had never existed. The space was now completely isolated from the outside world, with all activity within concealed layer by layer, and no trace of its presence could be detected from the outside.

All the forces in Zhongzhou were secretly keeping a close eye on the location of the Demon Flame Space, their hearts pounding, waiting for the moment it would reopen.

Everyone is speculating what will happen when the Demon Flame Space reopens. Who will ultimately possess the legendary Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which ranks among the top of the Strange Flame List and has been passed down through the ages, to become an earth-shattering opportunity or to unleash a new wave of bloodshed?
Everything is still unknown.

Under the watchful eyes of countless gazes, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Space, which had been silent for over a month, finally began to stir.

Above the sky, the void suddenly twisted and collapsed, as if the heavens and earth had split open. A pitch-black spatial rift that stretched for thousands of miles was suddenly torn open, and extremely violent spatial turbulence and boundless fire-attribute energy surged and erupted. In just an instant, the entire sky was illuminated in a blazing white.

A terrifying pressure originating from the peak of the strange fire broke through the barrier like a world-destroying torrent and crushed down.

Even through layers of spatial barriers, the scorching aura that could burn the eight wastelands and refine all things was still clearly discernible, causing the heavens and earth to change color and all living beings to tremble. It was the supreme majesty that only the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was worthy of, surpassing all other flames.

The next moment, milky white flames surged out from the crack, like an inverted Milky Way, burning the sky with strange fire. Wherever they passed, even the void was scorched and twisted and shattered, as if they were going to burn the entire sky to ashes.

At the same time, several spatial channels suddenly cracked open at the edge of the sky, and several slightly disheveled figures staggered out, each one still shaken and not daring to linger for a moment, rushing frantically towards the distant horizon.

These people trembled slightly, their robes were torn, and their breathing was disordered. Although each of them was highly skilled, they could not hide the fear and panic in their expressions, which was enough to show how dangerous the inside of the Demon Fire Space was.

Below the sky, many sharp-eyed experts immediately recognized these people as powerful members of the ancient races, the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan!
The fact that the top figures of the two races could flee in such a sorry state clearly indicates that they encountered an insurmountable and terrifying existence within the Demon Flame Space. Let alone seizing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, even escaping unscathed would be a stroke of luck.

Besides the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan, a large number of semi-saint level experts also hastily activated their spatial power and frantically fled this suffocating area.

At the exit of the Demon Flame Space, more figures broke through the surging milky-white lotus flames and staggered out.

Everyone looked terrified, their breaths were shallow, their clothes were torn and stained with blood, and all traces of their usual arrogance and composure were gone, leaving only a disheveled state of shock.

It is truly a rare sight in history for so many high-level and even peak Dou Zun in Zhongzhou to be in such a panicked state.

Amidst the panicked flow of people, Xiao Yan was calmly protecting the group of powerful figures from the Pill Tower as they retreated.

In stark contrast to the disheveled and fearful state of others, his aura was steady and calm, and his steps were composed, making him one of the few calm and collected individuals during this trip to the Demon Flame Space.

After completely exiting the demonic fire space, Xiao Yan turned back and took a deep look at the spatial rift that was still spewing milky white holy fire. Then, he took out a spatial token and shattered it with a slight force from his fingertips.

The void trembled slightly, and a stable spatial passage slowly emerged.

Xiao Yan said no more and led the people of the Pill Tower straight into it. Their figures disappeared into the sky in an instant, leaving no trace.

As a large number of powerful individuals escaped one after another, those who were observant quickly noticed something amiss: none of the Soul Clan members had emerged from the Demon Flame Space.

Logically speaking, if even top-tier forces like the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan suffered a humiliating defeat and fled in disarray, it would be impossible for the Soul Clan's experts to escape unscathed. In an instant, countless speculations surged among the crowd.
Could it be that the Soul Clan has another plan, secretly finding an opportunity to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which is why they have not shown themselves yet?
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and speculation, the interior of the demonic fire space suddenly trembled violently once again!

A raging torrent of fiery energy erupted, and crimson flames swept across the sky like a tsunami, spreading outwards.

Many who had not yet completely escaped were instantly engulfed by the flames. Their shrill screams echoed through the sky as their bodies rapidly melted away in the terrifying flames, plunging straight into the boundless sea of ​​fire. Their fate was self-evident.

Those who narrowly escaped were terrified and fled frantically with their last ounce of strength.

"Damn it! You damned Soul Clan, since you dare to plot against me, then you'll all stay here!"

At the same time, a roar filled with boundless rage exploded from the depths of the demonic fire space, shaking the entire world.

This dramatic turn of events has made it clear to everyone that even more astonishing changes must be taking place within the Demon Flame Space. The Soul Clan group, who have yet to appear, are undoubtedly connected to this matter.

Before anyone could see what would happen next, the spatial rift that stretched across the sky slowly closed and healed amidst the surging energy of heaven and earth.

In a short while, the cracks disappeared completely, and the void returned to its original integrity, becoming impeccably solid.

All external soul probing and spying were completely shut out, making it impossible to discern even a trace of reality or illusion within the space.

This scene left all the powerful figures who had been watching this place completely bewildered, filled with doubt and unease.

No one knew what earth-shattering changes had taken place within the Demon Flame Space, nor did they know what fate befell the powerful members of the Soul Clan.

Since they could not witness what happened next, everyone present no longer hesitated and used their own methods to try to find out everything inside from the cultivators who had managed to escape from the demon fire space.

Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Flame Space.

After listening to Xiao Ling's account, the Pill Tower Ancestor had a general understanding of the cause and effect. On his childlike, tender face, his eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of time, flickered slightly, revealing a hint of indescribable surprise.

His gaze first fell on the handsome and upright young man in front of him, and then shifted to Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen, who had powerful auras, beside Xiao Ling.

The old patriarch of the Dan Tower sighed softly, his tone complex and difficult to decipher:
"Although I had long anticipated that you, little fellow, would one day stir up the winds and clouds of the Dou Qi Continent and affect the entire landscape, I never imagined that you would grow to such an extent in such a short time."

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

"You flatter me, Ancestor." Xiao Ling bowed slightly, his tone humble and polite.

"The Dou Qi Continent will inevitably be turbulent in the future. The Pill Tower is like a pillar of stability in the Central Continent. We will need the Ancestor to oversee the Pill Tower and stabilize the situation. We will also need the Ancestor to take care of many matters." Although this was his first real meeting with the Ancestor of the Pill Tower, this senior had secretly helped and assisted him on his cultivation path many times. Xiao Ling always remembered this kindness and spoke with great respect.

"Although I still have some concerns about your arrangements, since you have made up your mind, I will not say anything more to stop you."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower spoke slowly, his tone solemn, "From now on, I will personally oversee the Pill Tower and will no longer venture out easily. I hope that your future plans will all go smoothly and as you wish. If you need my assistance, you may come to the Pill Tower to find me."

After he finished speaking, he solemnly instructed, "But I must remind you, you must never stir up trouble in the Central Plains and start endless wars because of your own greed. The Dou Qi Continent is already in too much chaos. I only wish that there could be less strife and more peace in the world."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling simply nodded and softly agreed.

How much of what he said he actually took to heart, only he himself knew.

After giving Xiao Ling a few more earnest instructions, the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower did not linger any longer.

With a casual wave of his hand, he tore open a stable spatial rift in the void, stepped into it in a flash, and instantly disappeared completely into the spatial fluctuations, leaving no trace.

Watching the figure of the Pill Tower Ancestor completely disappear into the spatial rift, Xiao Ling slowly withdrew his gaze.

With a slight lift of his palm, a solid and sturdy spatial gate opened in front of him, exuding a vast and profound spatial aura.

Immediately, Xiao Ling turned around, smiled gently at Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen behind him, and nodded slightly as he spoke:
"Let's go, my two ancestors. I will take you to the ancestral land of the Ancient Dragon Clan. The landscape there is extremely unique and magnificent, which should broaden your horizons."

"Hehe, the Ancient Dragon Island, where the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan resides, is something I only had a few encounters with during my lifetime. I have never actually been there before, so I don't know what it's really like."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately became interested and spoke with a smile.

Xiao Xuan nodded slightly and echoed, "The Ancient Dragon Clan has always been mysterious, standing proudly at the top of the magical beast races on the Dou Qi Continent. They have a long history and profound heritage. Even when my Xiao Clan was at its peak, we knew very little about them. I am indeed quite curious about them."

Immediately, Xiao Ling raised his hand and stepped into the spatial passage first. Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen exchanged a smile and followed closely behind, their figures dissolving into the ever-flowing spatial ripples.

As the last figure disappeared into the void, the spatial passage slowly closed like a tide until it vanished completely.

At this moment, only the milky white Pure Lotus True Fire remained in the Demon Fire Space, still surging and burning wildly in the empty space. There was no sound or movement, as if a momentous event had quietly come to an end.

……

With the incident of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame finally concluded, related news spread like wildfire throughout the Central Continent, becoming the most talked-about topic among various forces.

According to those powerful individuals who were fortunate enough to enter the core area of ​​the Demon Flame Space, all the ancient races dispatched their top combat forces for this battle for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, with the Soul Race being the most formidable among them.

In addition to the Soul Palace Master, Soul Extinction, who personally came, the Soul Clan also dispatched the long-hidden veteran expert, Soul Demon Elder. Both of them had steadily reached the five-star Dou Sheng realm, and their strength overwhelmed the participating experts from the Flame Clan and the Medicine Clan.

Even if the Flame and Medicine races joined forces, it would still be far from enough to contend with the Soul race. This is why the Soul race has always maintained an absolute advantage in the Demon Flame Space, suppressing all other forces.

There are even rumors that the two members of the Soul Clan, with their mysterious and unpredictable unique methods, actually joined forces to suppress the source of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which had a strength of up to six-star Dou Sheng level. They once had firm control over it and even found the opportunity to completely subdue this ancient and strange flame.

However, the final outcome was completely reversed. When the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was forced into a desperate situation, it recklessly activated its life's trump card and forcibly controlled the power of the core of the Demon Flame Space Refining Heaven Ancient Array, thus breaking free from the double confinement of Soul Extinction and the Soul Demon Elder.

It instantly reversed the tide and unleashed terrifying combat power far exceeding its previous strength, shocking all the powerful figures present.

Seeing that there was no hope of subduing the demonic fire, and that staying any longer would only lead to their own demise, everyone immediately fled in panic. Even the powerful teams from the Flame Clan and the Medicine Clan were no exception, only concerned with making their way out.

Just as Soul Extinction and the Old Man of Soul Demon were about to escape, they were blocked by the enraged Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which completely cut off their escape route.

The furious roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth outside the Demon Flame Space was the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's desperate counterattack.

The Soul Palace Master, Soul Extinction, and the Soul Clan's veteran powerhouse, Soul Demon Elder, have never been able to step out of the Demon Flame Space since then, and have been completely unknown to this day.

In the eyes of everyone in Zhongzhou, these two top experts of the Soul Clan were already in grave danger, and most likely had perished under the scorching flames of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Unlike the rumors circulating in the Central Plains, the information known within the ancient races was far more accurate.

What shocked all the races the most was a piece of solid news: Soul Palace Master Soul Extinction possessed the sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame within his body.

It is not difficult to deduce from this that Void Devouring Flame had long been in cahoots with the Soul Clan, and had even reached a secret cooperation.

This discovery immediately instilled a sense of dread in those ancient races, making them regard the Soul Clan as a major threat and fixing their gazes on them.

Various races have spoken out, publicly condemning the Soul Clan for disregarding the ancient racial alliance and for arbitrarily sending top combatants at the level of five-star Dou Sheng or above to travel to the Central Continent and interfere in the conflicts of the present world. They have also taken advantage of this momentum to secretly investigate and collect more secret information about the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan remained as arrogant and independent as ever, refusing to speak out no matter how much the other ancient races questioned, pressured, or questioned them. They maintained an indifferent attitude of neither admitting, denying, nor defending themselves regarding any matter.

This unyielding attitude meant that no matter how hard the various races tried, they couldn't glean any useful information and ultimately had to return empty-handed and frustrated.

However, before the aftermath of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame incident had subsided, another earth-shattering event, enough to shake the entire Central Continent, had quietly arrived.

The Stone Clan, also one of the eight ancient clans, suffered the same fate as the Spirit Clan, which was mysteriously wiped out earlier—their entire clan territory was completely destroyed, utterly erased from this continent. (End of Chapter)
