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

He was basically certain in his mind that Xiao Yan had just completed his breakthrough!

Although he didn't know why this guy's flames were so terrifying, if they were given a chance to catch their breath, they would definitely attract even more powerful Soul Palace helpers. Even if Xiao Yan's soul wouldn't belong to him then, at least he could get his revenge for being trapped. He wanted to use this humiliating delay to exchange for a chance to watch Xiao Yan be reduced to ashes with his own eyes!

Thinking of this, Venerable Minglin forced a dry laugh that looked more like a grimace: "It's like this, we are currently apprehending a wanted person, and that person's aura is very similar to yours, so we acted rashly just now. It was truly a huge misunderstanding!"

"Yes, yes, please don't take it to heart, my friend." The other person was also feeling immense pressure while struggling against the strange fire. Even though he was about to give up, he still wanted to beg for mercy.

The crimson flames rolled and churned, each impact like a giant hammer slamming into the soul chains that protected him, producing a series of explosions. The black runes swirling around the chains dimmed at a visible speed.

Xiao Yan ignored them, his gaze burning as he stared intently at a new wisp of purplish-red flame flickering at his fingertips. The flame gently coiled around his fingers, but Xiao Yan knew clearly that its core contained extremely powerful energy.

"By trapping three Dou Zun at the same time, including one of them who is a Seven-Star Dou Zun, the power of this new version of the Strange Flame combined with the Wind-Boosting Palm has been enhanced once again."

Xiao Yan felt incredibly happy. The flame at his fingertips was the best proof that his years of hard work in collecting different flames had not been in vain.

"No wonder it's one of the top ten strange flames!"

Seeing Xiao Yan muttering to himself, Venerable Minglin dared not show any impatience. He simply smiled apologetically and said, "This friend's flames are truly powerful. Could you please withdraw them for now? We will certainly offer you a satisfactory compensation for our recklessness."

Xiao Yan's smile vanished instantly: "No, rather than retracting the flames, I feel it's better to just take your lives!"

Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; he knew that even if he trapped them, these Soul Hall guys wouldn't tell the truth. And Xiao Yan had never intended to let them go from the start, after all, the Soul Hall people were simply too troublesome.

At first, there were only a few insignificant Dou Wang and Dou Huang, then they became Dou Zong and Dou Zun, and now even Dou Zun have come. If I don't act decisively, who knows if even stronger experts will arrive later?

Although he is now an eight-star Dou Zun, he is not at his peak strength. Due to the lingering aura of a Dou Sheng expert, his right hand is still unable to circulate Dou Qi normally. If a Half-Saint or higher expert from the Soul Palace were to arrive at this moment, Xiao Yan would likely have to flee for his life in a very sorry state.

"We absolutely cannot allow you to have the opportunity to tip us off!"

Once the will to kill is set, no mercy will be shown!

Thinking of this, the four-colored strange flames, burning fiercely, suddenly became violent in accordance with Xiao Yan's will. The purple-red flames filled the sky, burying all three Dou Zun experts from the Soul Palace within them. Initially, it was the two Dou Zun experts on the edge; the dense chains eventually could not withstand the continuous surging of the fused strange flames, and massive amounts of fiery energy broke through layer by layer.

Just as the flames were about to break through, almost at the same moment, the two made the decision to fight to the death.

One after another, souls exuding a strong aura of resentment began to charge out recklessly. Driven by the two without regard for the cost, these souls let out chilling howls, like moths drawn to a flame, and rushed headlong into the torrent of strange fire that was about to break through the defenses!

The powerful resistance of the soul entities eventually had some effect. The two of them were heartbroken that the soul entities they had painstakingly collected were being squandered like this.

"Let's get going!"

Just as the two of them decided to break through the sea of ​​fire, without any warning, a strange vortex appeared directly in front of them.

When they saw it with their own eyes, a powerful force of attraction appeared.

"not good!"

Earth-rank Soul Skill: Soul Flow Black Vortex!

A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, not only controlling their own physical forms but also sucking their souls into the soul vortex where they were directly annihilated. As a large number of soul barriers disappeared, purplish-red flames took their place. They used all their means, but most of them were simply burned to ashes before those flames.

"What the hell is this flame?!"

Fortunately, after the flames completely filled the gap, they both felt a sense of relief around them, and their tense minds relaxed. Two tiny soul needles had already reached the back of their heads, strangely piercing through their protective battle aura and directly piercing their foreheads from behind.

The bodies of the two Soul Hall Dou Zun suddenly stiffened, and with two shrill screams, their flesh was directly burned by the flames, while their souls began to self-immolate due to the effects of the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame.

The whole process may seem long, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

Seeing his two companions die like this, Venerable Minglin was plunged into despair, though he still had some strength left to fight back.

He knew that all his attempts to delay and beg for mercy seemed utterly childish and laughable in the face of this ruthless young man. From the very beginning, the other party had no intention of letting them leave alive!

"I'll fight you to the death, brat! Let's die together!"

Venerable Minglin's blood surged, and his withered body began to swell abnormally as if being inflated. A terrifying storm of fighting spirit began to gather within his body. He no longer wanted to escape from here, but instead hoped to take Xiao Yan with him after self-destructing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed. He then condensed an even stronger soul power than before and struck Venerable Minglin very subtly. Although Minglin was not directly seriously injured like the other two, he was still temporarily unable to move.

Xiao Yan's hand seals were already flying up and down, and streaks of energy light formed in front of him, carrying a powerful and domineering force. Xiao Yan directly pushed them out.

Imperial Seal Technique: Four Seals Stacked!

The weapon struck Venerable Minglin squarely in the chest. Amidst the deafening explosion, Venerable Minglin lost control of the last ounce of power he had managed to muster. The purplish-red flames surged once more, and he could only feel his life slipping away at an alarming rate.

boom--

Amidst the massive explosion, the Seven-Star Dou Zun of the Soul Palace was annihilated, body and soul destroyed.

The crimson flames returned, and Xiao Yan smiled slightly amidst the scene of the deafening explosion, as if all of this was nothing at all.
