Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Xiao Jue had four disciples in the Pill Tower, but he had no time to instruct them, so he asked Xuan Yi to teach them on his behalf, as he needed to devour the Pure Lotus Demon Flame first.

Therefore, after practicing the Yin-Yang Technique with Xuan Yi, Xiao Jue left the Pill Domain and headed towards the Demon Flame Space, where the last member of the Xiao Clan from a thousand years ago still resided.

The location of the Demon Flame Space is also recorded within the Pill Tower. It was left by the Pill Tower Ancestor before he left. He seemed to have some guess that Xiao Jue would not miss the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

This is a place of towering mountains and lush green hills that doesn't seem like a place where a divine object like the Pure Lotus Demon Flame exists, but it's all an illusion.

Xiao Jue flicked his finger, and the power of space erupted. Immediately afterward, a strong energy fluctuation spread throughout the world. Then, countless strange mists emerged from the void, and faintly, the sound of waves could be heard from between heaven and earth.

"The tides of heaven and earth!"

By opening the Demon Flame Space ahead of time with the strength of a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, the entire Dou Qi Continent sensed it. This was also the last measure taken by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to protect the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

The powerful figures of the Dou Qi Continent are mutually restraining and do not want others to obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Therefore, the tidal wave of heaven and earth when the Demon Flame Space is opened can attract everyone's attention.

However, now that the Soul Emperor is dead, who on the Dou Qi Continent can rival or be an enemy of Xiao Jue?

Suddenly, the spatial node in front of Xiao Jue burst forth with intense light, beneath which lay an extremely terrifying temperature.

The ripples spread outwards, their extent unknown, causing a surge of heat to well up from the depths of one's heart.

The lush mountains here have vanished, leaving only a milky-white desert. A terrifying temperature rises from the desert, distorting the space within thousands of miles.

"What terrifying Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! It actually burned such a massive mountain range into a desert..." Xiao Jue murmured softly. The source of the purification was still the temperature of the flame. The temperature of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was comparable to the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame.

To some extent, the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame may be comparable to the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but it lacks uniqueness and is therefore slightly weaker.

Devouring and purification are unique abilities of the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is said to be able to burn even battle qi. If Gu Yuan were to devour the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, he might not be weaker than the Soul Emperor who devoured the Void Devouring Flame.

Xiao Jue raised his head and looked at the distant sky, where the space had been shattered, and milky white light poured out from the shattered space. In that light, there was a terrifying temperature that even the soul could not bear.

The space that sealed the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has shattered, but the demon flame has not emerged. It must be within that space. The milky white light is merely its residual heat.

Xiao Jue released Long Xiao from his wrist, his expression cold and indifferent. He said calmly, "I'll stay here and guard. If anyone dares to approach, I'll drive them away."

If even a nine-star Dou Sheng cannot scare away the enemy, then Long Xiao would not mind killing him.

"Then it's up to you."

Xiao Jue nodded, and in a flash, he transformed into an ancient dragon-phoenix, directly breaking the seal!

In the distant, fractured space, the milky-white radiance has now poured down continuously like liquid, and the desert below has turned into a milky-white magma, with occasional bubbles churning and bursting out streams of extremely hot air.

"Boom!"

The ruptured space expanded from a few feet to tens of feet, and strange sounds could be faintly heard emanating from it.

The expansion of the shattered space finally came to a slow stop when it reached a range of nearly a hundred feet. Faintly, a milky white halo formed at the shattered space.

The instant that halo formed, Xiao Jue could sense that the temperature in this world increased nearly a hundredfold in that instant!

Xiao Jue's figure flashed and entered the circle of light. The moment his body entered the circle of light, Xiao Jue's skin suddenly tightened.

Passing through the light circle was only a matter of a moment. After the light in front of him flickered slightly, Xiao Jue realized that the space around him had changed.

The first feeling Xiao Jue experienced upon seeing the change in space was as if he had stepped out of a furnace. He quickly scanned his surroundings and found himself in a strange space filled with milky white flames.

This entire space was filled with milky-white flames, and even his strength could feel the unusually hot temperature emanating from these milky-white flames.

Xiao Jue's heart stirred, and the strange fire within his body slowly surged out, enveloping his entire body. The intense heat that made his blood feel like it was boiling subsided considerably.

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame... seems to be the Ancient Heavenly Refining Formation."

The power of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame alone was not enough to affect Xiao Jue; it must have been the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's Refining Heaven Ancient Formation that accomplished this.

"Just a petty trick."

Xiao Jue's mind stirred, and the strange fire within his body quickly surged into his pupils. As the flames rose, the world before him instantly changed.

The milky-white sea of ​​fire disappeared, replaced by a milky-white mist covering an area of ​​about several tens of feet.

This mist that can trap people in an illusion forever was originally a unique skill of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, called Nightmare Sky Mist. It is said that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint once used this move to shroud a city, making the people in the city feel as if they had lived in it for hundreds of years.

After the fog dissipated, they realized that the century-long experience was nothing but a dream.

Just then, the space around Xiao Jue suddenly fluctuated violently, and a terrifying temperature slowly spread out from all around.

"Boom!"

As space became increasingly distorted, cracks suddenly appeared, from which waves of milky-white flames surged forth.

Immediately afterwards, figures engulfed in milky-white flames surged out of the numerous cracks like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, the sky outside the square was filled with these fiery figures.

These figures were surrounded by flames, gripping flaming spears tightly in their hands, their emotionless eyes fixed on Xiao Jue.

These people possess physical forms, and each of them exudes a powerful aura. They are all fire slaves, powerful individuals refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, essentially a kind of alternative puppet!

"roar!"

The thousands upon thousands of fiery figures roared suddenly, then unleashed their power and surged towards Xiao Jue in a massive, overwhelming attack.
