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

Just as Yan Di was about to unleash his thunderous power, an aura seemingly from the ancient past completely enveloped the area where Yan Di was located.

The previously sharp spatial rifts closed completely under the influence of this aura, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Yan Di, who was originally hiding in the void, was also pulled out of the void by this aura. Yan Di felt as if he was forcibly squeezed out of the void.

Even someone as strong as Yan Di couldn't hide the panic in his eyes at this moment.

The reason he was allowed to accompany Huo Zhi in his search for the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was not only because he had cared for Huo Zhi since childhood, but also because he was one of the few experts in the clan skilled in spatial abilities.

Back when he awakened his Dou Qi, the purity of his fire-attribute Dou Qi was lower than that of many members of the Yan Clan. However, as the saying goes, "when one door closes, another opens." After Yan Di entered the Dou Zong realm, he discovered that his ability to utilize spatial attributes far surpassed that of ordinary people! This gave him a significant advantage in battles against opponents of the same level.

Therefore, even the clan leader had no objection to his protection of Huo Zhi during this trip. So, after Yan Di discovered the ambush set up by the Soul Palace, he was more worried about the traitor within the Yan Clan than about the two Soul Palace Dou Zun standing before him.

Just now, he was actually forcibly pulled out of the spatial rift!

"Yan Di, don't you think we're aware of your strength, given that we've been lying in wait for you here?" The Sacrificial Spirit Celestial said mockingly, looking at Yan Di who had been pulled out of the void.

"Could it be?" Yan Di's expression was extremely grim.

"Yan Di, be proud! For your sake, even the Holy Lord of the Soul Palace has come in person!" The Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable also said with a strange laugh.

Yan Di immediately took out a jade pendant from his storage ring and crushed it. The jade pendant contained a rich spatial power, but even though Yan Di crushed it, the spatial power could not be condensed, just like a headless fly.

The eyes above the Spirit Sacrifice Celestial's head began to flash with an evil light, and he said to Yan Di, "It's useless. We'll be lying in wait here today, and we won't give you any chance to pass on the message. Prepare to die, Yan Di!"

Two beams of light of different colors almost coalesced into a tangible form, shooting directly at Yan Di.

Venerable Huiyou then redistributed the black mist that had merged with him, completely blocking Yan Di.

However, Yan Di's strength had almost reached the pinnacle of the Dou Zun realm, and he continued to resist the attacks of the two. But without spatial power, Yan Di was now like a man with a severed arm, no longer able to suppress the two as easily as before.

"Chen Xiao, you four go and capture them all!" Venerable Huiyou ordered the four guardians of the Soul Palace who were standing obediently behind them.

Chen Xiao and his group of four also rushed towards Xiao Yan and his two companions. Although they couldn't get involved in a battle at the Dou Zun level, dealing with Xiao Yan and his two companions wouldn't be too difficult.

Yan Di snorted coldly as he watched the four guardians rushing towards Xiao Yan and his companions, and then his figure flashed away.

In an instant, four palms were unleashed, perfectly covering the four people's path of advance. With Yan Di's strength, if these four palms hit Chen Xiao and the other three, they would surely die.

With a flash of light, the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable appeared before Yan Di like a shadow, the blue-green light on his forehead flashing, neutralizing Yan Di's attack.

"Yan Di, don't rush, your opponents are us!"

As if to confirm the words of the Sacrificial Spirit Celestial Venerable, the black poisonous mist continued to spread out, constantly trying to erode Yan Di.

Yan Di's forehead ignited with imperial flame patterns, burning away all the mist surrounding him.

However, as the three became entangled again, Yan Di's plan to stop the Soul Palace Protector had failed.

After the four guardians passed Yan Di, Chen Xiao, the leader, stared at Xiao Yan and smiled sinisterly: "Boy, we meet again."

Several black chains shot out from behind Chen Xiao, directly attacking Xiao Yan. The speed of the chains startled Xiao Yan.

Thunderous sounds erupted from Xiao Yan's body as he swiftly stored the ice coffin containing Little Fairy Doctor into his storage ring. He then retreated rapidly. At the same time, the Red Lotus Karmic Flame erupted from Xiao Yan's meridians like a volcanic eruption, and the violent and powerful energy began to circulate rapidly within his body.

Xiao Yan's strength instantly rose from an eight-star Dou Huang to a two-star Dou Zong.

Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, Red Lotus Transformation!

Although Xiao Yan's strength was improved for a time, his escape speed was also increased by a level, after all, Chen Xiao had the strength of an eight-star Dou Zong!

The other three guardians also possessed strength above the five-star Dou Zong level. Even if Xiao Yan's strength improved, he would not be able to easily contend with such a lineup.

Although Xiao Yan's speed was exceptionally fast, the several black chains behind Chen Xiao seemed to be sentient, constantly intertwining and blocking Xiao Yan's retreat route.

Two of them swept towards Xiao Yan's head and chest with unparalleled force, the ear-piercing sound of wind breaking echoing. The chains clung to him like maggots, and their speed was even faster than when Xiao Yan used the Three Thousand Thunderbolts at full power!

Seeing the chains right in front of him, Xiao Yan hardened his heart and his hand seals flew, even creating afterimages that were invisible to the naked eye.

Two blood-red palm prints blasted out from Xiao Yan's hands.

Imperial Seal Technique - Overturning the Sea Seal!

The blood-red palm print and the black chain collided, and after only a brief stalemate, the black chain swiftly pierced through the blood-red palm print.

However, that one gap was enough for Xiao Yan, and the giant black ruler appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.

The crimson lotus flames enveloped the entire Xuanzhong Ruler, and the terrifying heat caused the ruler to turn a slightly reddish hue.

A sharp feeling also came from Xiao Yan's Xuanzhong Ruler, the effect of the Heavenly Desolation Ruler - strange fire as a blade!

Xiao Yan raised the Xuan Heavy Ruler high with both hands, then swung it down in a wide arc. The moment the blood-red heavy ruler intersected with the chain was exactly the limit of Xiao Yan's power accumulation for this fighting technique.

The Heavenly Ruler – Overbearing!

Using the strange fire as its blade, the incredibly powerful strike finally cleaved Chen Xiao's black chains away, even shattering the very front end of the chains.

Xiao Yan was also badly hurt; his arms went numb from the recoil, and he was even knocked away in the collision.

However, Xiao Yan managed to shake off Chen Xiao for a short time by using the force of being repelled.

Xiao Yan glanced around and saw Huo Zhi facing two guardians alone. The Soul Palace's insidious tactics were clearly making it difficult for this proud young woman to cope. Fortunately, Huo Zhi, a seven-star Dou Zong, was still able to keep up with the two opponents for the time being.

When facing a five-star Dou Zong, Zi Yan, relying on her abnormal strength, did not fall into a disadvantageous position.
