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

Within Xiao Yan's body, his own consciousness had never truly dissipated; it was just that he no longer had the strength to control his body.

The pressure from the Void Devouring Flame's soul was immense. The Void Devouring Flame immediately gained an absolute advantage, and Xiao Yan's soul could only remain in a corner, relying on his six primordial flames to forcibly resist the power invading his body.

At this moment, Xiao Yan had no choice but to thank Yan Jin again. It was because Yan Jin gave him the extremely magical Heaven-Rank Battle Skill, Fire Glaze Beast Form, that his six different flames were further enhanced, reaching the point where each of them had developed sentience. Therefore, they were able to withstand the immense suppression of the Void Devouring Flame and instead do their best to protect him.

Even the lowest-ranked and shortest-fusion-time Xuanhuang Flame is currently under immense pressure from the Void Devouring Flame without showing any signs of collapse.

Without the enhancement of the strange flames brought by that combat technique, the current six flames might be unable to move when facing the Void Devouring Flame.

"Boy, become nourishment for my rebirth!"

After Xiao Yan gained a brief respite, the Void Devouring Flame shifted its focus back to this spot.

The Void Devouring Flame's soul was at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, still far behind Xiao Yan's. In an instant, the Void Devouring Flame unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful soul impact. The flames that his body had transformed into were still effective here. Numerous black flames penetrated every crevice, instantly sweeping through all areas of Xiao Yan's body.

Only then did Xiao Yan realize the terrifying power of the second-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. Despite controlling six different Strange Flames, he was completely unable to escape its encirclement. He had only unleashed his first wave of attacks when it had already surrounded and imprisoned all his flames, completely severing his connection with his physical body.

This is only the first wave of the offensive.

Now, Xiao Yan's soul cannot even spread out a single flame. All the flames that can reach the boundary are instantly swallowed up by the vortex formed by the black flames. Xiao Yan's soul perception is also controlled within the range defined by this Void Devouring Flame.

Just as Xiao Yan was pondering how he could regain control of his body, the soul power of the Void Devouring Flame suddenly contracted, turning into a small, round ball of black fire.

Xiao Yan immediately sensed a great sense of crisis; the attack from the Void Devouring Flame was no simple matter!

After the black fireball took shape, it instantly burst forth from its original spot, transforming into an extremely thin black line that directly pierced through all the strange fires that Xiao Yan had placed in front of his own soul!

The flames stretched out in all directions, unstoppable, and finally struck Xiao Yan's soul directly.

"ah!!!"

A pain emanating from the depths of his soul arose, and Xiao Yan even felt as if his soul was about to shatter. This was accompanied by a persistent dizziness and an extremely strange, burning sensation.

Xiao Yan's body began to tremble uncontrollably, veins bulged on his forehead, his face turned ashen, and even fine blood seeped from his seven orifices. This was the physical manifestation of the attack his soul had suffered.

Qinglin, who was guarding the side, felt extremely distressed by this change, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she was helpless.

She had already tried before, and Xiao Yan's body was like a deep cage. She couldn't sense anything. If Qing Lin made a rash move at this time, she might hurt Xiao Yan's body. So Qing Lin could only kneel down beside Xiao Yan with a heavy heart and gently wipe away the bloodstains. She could easily feel the almost tragic power churning inside Xiao Yan's body.

……

With a single blow, Xiao Yan's soul was weakened by several degrees.

"He dares to attack me with his physical soul? Then bring it on!"

This unprecedented pain and torment did not completely defeat Xiao Yan; instead, it ignited the fighting spirit within him. Sitting idly by and waiting for death was never his style.

"Let's give it our all!"

All of Xiao Yan's remaining soul power was mobilized. If this attack failed, Xiao Yan would have absolutely no power left to resist the Void Devouring Flame.

Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we survive!

A strange, indescribable, and powerful gravitational force suddenly arose from the core of Xiao Yan's soul, becoming the most important force within him at this moment. This gravitational force ignored the obstruction of the flames surrounding the Void Devouring Flame, bypassing everything in between and acting directly on the core of the Void Devouring Flame's soul!

This attack appeared entirely in the form of a soul, but Void Devouring Flame felt a sense of déjà vu. This ability was somewhat similar to Xiao Xuan's legendary fighting technique!

This was one of the gains Xiao Yan made during his three years of arduous seclusion in the Heavenly Tomb. After learning Xiao Xuan's Heavenly Rank Battle Technique, Xiao Yan gained unprecedented enlightenment and thus created this Heavenly Rank Soul Technique. Xiao Yan couldn't determine its specific level, since the classification of soul techniques wasn't as strict and precise as that of battle techniques. However, Xiao Yan felt that this soul technique had captured the essence of his ancestor's battle technique while also possessing its own unique style, making it definitely not low in rank among all Heavenly Rank soul techniques.

"Heavenly Rank Soul Skill, Heaven and Earth Upside Down!"

This is an attack that approaches the rules of the soul, and once unleashed, it is almost unstoppable. Even someone as powerful as Void Devouring Flame felt his soul completely out of control at this moment, and he no longer knew what the world was.

In his soul perception, the four directions suddenly reversed, the trajectory of power was forcibly disrupted, and a savage tearing force acted on his soul body, attempting to strip away and absorb his original power.

Most importantly, the Void Devouring Flame's seal on Xiao Yan's body and soul was finally broken.

"Still trying to resist? Then disappear completely!"

The black flames formed from the Void Devouring Flame's soul surged wildly, attacking like a black dragon, directly enveloping Xiao Yan from several directions. Some of the attacks missed due to the fluctuations of the Void Devouring Flame, but some still hit Xiao Yan!

"Well done!"

As the Void Devouring Flame's attack struck Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's counterattack arrived: Hidden Shadow Needles!

This was the first Heavenly Rank Battle Technique he had acquired. Normally, he would store it within his body. Previously, his soul perception was completely blocked, preventing him from activating this power. However, now that the control of the Void Devouring Flame had a loophole, he was able to activate the soul power he had stored within his body.

call out!call out!call out!

The three soul needles, regardless of their order, rushed here simultaneously and struck the Void Devouring Flame at the same time!

Just moments before, Void Devouring Flame was in a state of dizziness as if the world had turned upside down. The next moment, he was shocked to find that his soul body seemed to have been thrown into a violent energy turbulence, with this soul energy rushing and piercing in all directions!

Not only his soul, but also Xiao Yan's body was attacked!
