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

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin had only flown a short distance when the space in front of them suddenly distorted slightly. The fluctuation was so subtle that a sense of alertness suddenly arose in Xiao Yan's heart, an alertness that came without warning.

Something's not right!

Xiao Yan grabbed Qing Lin, and then a strange black flame suddenly rose up, growing stronger and stronger in a very short time, while also creating vortexes that directly enveloped both Xiao Yan and Qing Lin.

As the black flames rose, they transformed into a blurry human figure, its face indistinct except for its scarlet eyes.

"Xiao Xuan, what a Xiao Xuan! He actually managed to severely injure me with his remnant soul."

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock, especially Xiao Yan's. Their ancestor had sacrificed his life to self-destruct, yet it hadn't truly ended his life!

"Boy, you seem quite surprised, but that's to be expected! I am the strongest different flame, the Void Devouring Flame, capable of devouring everything in heaven and earth. The self-destruction of a mere Heavenly Tomb couldn't take me away!"

"And your body, I gladly accept!"

The flames then coalesced into a ball and charged directly at Xiao Yan.

Upon seeing this, Qing Lin's eyes flashed with emerald light, and ice crystals condensed in his palms as he awkwardly reached out to grab the black flames rushing towards Xiao Yan.

The icy aura froze the entire space, but the black flame was, after all, a strange fire, and the second-ranked flame on the Strange Fire Ranking. Its temperature melted through all the ice crystals, and it continued its relentless charge towards Xiao Yan.

Qinglin tried to obstruct her, but a void vortex instantly appeared below her. Its powerful devouring ability absorbed all the battle qi released by Qinglin, swallowing her whole!

"Azure Scales!"

Xiao Yan didn't even have time to worry about Qing Lin, because the black flames had already reached him, and Xiao Yan used every means he could think of.

All five clan markings were activated immediately, and his strength surged to the late stage of the four-star Dou Sheng. He transformed into the Taixu Dragon Clan and was possessed by the Ancient Insect Emperor Robe!

However, all of this was still somewhat inadequate in the face of the Void Devouring Flame, and the Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe was torn apart in just one breath.

Then came the dragon transformation. His powerful body was utterly powerless against the onslaught of the flames. Xiao Yan attempted to unleash the Eight Desolate Star Lotus Flame within his body to defend against it. However, this time Xiao Yan also felt the pain of his strange fire being suppressed by a higher-quality flame. Even though his flame had fused with five different strange fires, it was still insufficient compared to the terrifying existence ranked second on the Strange Fire Ranking. The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame was completely swept away almost the second instant it appeared.

Xiao Yan could only mobilize all the fighting techniques within his body and fiercely grab the void with his palm!

"High-level Celestial Rank, Star River Reversal!"

Xiao Yan activated all the Dou Qi within his body, causing a tremendous change in the entire world. A waterfall of Dou Qi appeared out of nowhere and flowed upwards, continuously drawing power from the Void Devouring Flame, attempting to drain and destroy it directly within this reverse-flowing waterfall.

Under this attack, Void Devouring Flame's body was indeed somewhat unstable. The surrounding flames showed obvious signs of separation and being extracted, and streams of battle energy were forcibly mixed into the reverse-flowing waterfall.

"Not bad, not bad, but unfortunately this fighting technique belongs to Xiao Xuan, and you are not Xiao Xuan!"

The Void Devouring Flame suddenly began to spin violently, and at the same time, a surge of attraction force erupted from its body, directly confronting the reverse-flowing star river.

"Void Devours the Heavens!"

The Void Devouring Flame released another terrifying black vortex. After it appeared, the vortex expanded further. Compared to Xiao Yan using this skill, the Void Devouring Flame itself was probably more than a hundred times stronger!

Extract by devouring!

It was almost impossible to win a direct confrontation with the Void Devouring Flame. Finally, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit could no longer support the consumption of energy. The reversed star river could not hold on and collapsed directly, being destroyed and devoured by the Void Devouring Flame vortex.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Void Devouring Flame clone was in the air, Qinglin, who had been devoured earlier, also forced its way out. Qinglin once again demonstrated its powerful strength. Its whole body was covered with thick ice armor, and a cold aura emanated from it. The chilling ice crystals were enough to make anyone feel terrified just by looking at them.

She rushed towards them at top speed, but her speed was ultimately a bit too slow. Xiao Yan had already exhausted all his methods and could no longer resist the invasion of the Void Devouring Flame.

All the black flames, like flowing water, enveloped Xiao Yan's entire body and then flowed into his body through all his pores.

As the flames entered, Xiao Yan's entire aura underwent a dramatic change.

A powerful force erupted within Xiao Yan's body, instantly clouding his vision. He felt he had lost control of his body, and even his soul power was on the verge of collapse. Although the Void Devouring Flame hadn't attacked his soul, its soul power was at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, far surpassing Xiao Yan's. As long as its soul existed, it would naturally suppress Xiao Yan's soul.

The two began to struggle within Xiao Yan's body, and at the same time, an extremely strange and distorted expression appeared on Xiao Yan's face, and the flames around him clearly split into two parts.

The Void Devouring Flame immediately retrieved a pill from the void. The pill was filled with fragrance and of extremely high quality, as it was a Grade 9 Profound Pill!

This was specially crafted for him by Hun Xuzi, the top alchemist of the Soul Clan, just for today. Besides its powerful medicinal effects, the most important function of the Xuan Dan is its ability to maximize the compatibility of the soul and body. Everything he did was for this moment!

The Void Devouring Flame was able to barely control Xiao Yan's body and swallow the pill. With his strength, he naturally didn't need to consider how to consume the powerful medicinal effects.

"I have finally succeeded!"

Streams of medicinal energy continuously dissolved within Xiao Yan's body, causing his aura to surge rapidly in a short period of time!

This pill was originally meant for a five-star Dou Sheng to take, but Xiao Yan forcibly took it, resulting in an unprecedented boost in power.

Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan, who was clearly out of control, her eyes filled with killing intent. She rushed directly in front of Xiao Yan, and the cold aura around her caused snow to fall in a small area.

"Heh, now we are one. If you want to hurt him, then go ahead and do it!"

The effect of these words was immediate. Qing Lin's eyes changed instantly. She was extremely resentful of the Void Devouring Flame, but she was also completely unwilling to hurt Xiao Yan.

Of course, the Void Devouring Flame also spared a moment to communicate with Qing Lin, as the battle within Xiao Yan's body was clearly more important!
