Chapter 1202

Double moons appear together, nine stars unite, heaven-earth tide, demonic fire descends.

Gazing at the scenery above the night sky, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he looked with a solemn gaze toward the western sky.

Then, he lowered his head and murmured: 'The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire I've waited so long for has finally appeared; it's time to call Yun'er over.'

While speaking, Lin Feng took out a Space Jade Slip and quickly crushed it.

Hum!

As the jade slip shattered, a surge of space power quickly spread out, then tore the sky, forming a black vortex over ten zhang in size.

Whoosh!

Not long after the vortex appeared, a graceful and moving figure walked out like a mermaid, then came to Lin Feng's side.

'Husband, are we going there?'

Stabilizing her stance, Yun Yun immediately raised her beautiful face that could topple nations, and her eyes gazed solemnly at the two round moons in the distance.

Boom!

At this moment, the nine brilliant stars in the starry sky completely aligned into a straight line; instantly, a strong energy surge spread throughout heaven and earth, sweeping across the Zhongzhou Continent.

At the same time that this energy surge ravaged the night sky, countless strange mists also spread out from the void.

Faintly, there was even the sound of a tide, transmitting throughout the heaven and earth of the Zhongzhou Continent!

'No wonder it's called the heaven-earth tide; with such a commotion, even a Nine-Star Peak Dou Sheng powerhouse couldn't cause it. The only thing capable of doing this is probably just this heaven-earth power.'

Watching the commotion in the starry sky and the tide-like sound that almost swept across the Dou Qi Continent, Lin Feng couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh.

'Mm, this heaven-earth power truly shakes the heart.'

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun beside him also lightly nodded, likewise looking at the distant night sky with a look of shock.

After a while, Lin Feng lowered his head and said in a deep voice: 'The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has appeared; we should also set out.'

'Good, boom!'

Before Yun Yun could finish answering, a tremendous roar suddenly came from the western sky.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng and Yun Yun's faces drastically changed; they abruptly raised their heads and looked toward the northwest in the darkness.

At this moment, in the distant sky, a strong pink light burst out without any warning.

What is terrifying is that beneath this light lies an extremely frightening temperature!

That temperature spread out with ripple after ripple born from the void; it's unknown how far it reached, but even in the Beast Domain, those below Dou Zun felt a surge of heat rising from their hearts.

'Is this the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire impatiently attacking the seal? It really can't wait!'

Sensing this oncoming hot wind, Lin Feng murmured softly.

After all, that shockwave just now clearly came from something colliding inside.

And within that demonic fire space, besides the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire that actively attacks with spirit, he couldn't think of anyone else.

Bang bang!

At the instant the heat wave hit, the strange light orb floating in Lin Feng's mind also suddenly began to ripple violently.

'Is this urging me to go over?'

Touching the light cluster at his brow that emitted a faint glow and beat like a heart, Lin Feng speculated thoughtfully.

Next, Lin Feng temporarily suppressed the throbbing of that light cluster at his brow, then looked at Yun Yun beside him and said: 'Yun'er, let's go.'

As soon as his words fell, he turned into a stream of light and shot toward the western sky where the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire descended, moving like shifting stars and lightning.

Seeing this, Yun Yun quickly clasped her hands, and the green wind currents swiftly gathered around her, forming a ball that kept flying back and forth.

At the same time, her proud figure also turned into a green stream of light, swiftly keeping up with Lin Feng.

Of course, the people who started acting above Zhongzhou were not just Lin Feng and Yun Yun.

At the same time they set out, within various powerful sects and clans across the Zhongzhou Continent, large numbers of figures likewise took flight at this moment, bringing with them heart-pounding sounds of wind breaking, batch after batch sweeping past the night sky beneath the double moons.

Their targets, without exception, all unmistakably pointed to the west of Zhongzhou!

At this moment, even many hermit forces that have disappeared from the continent for hundreds or thousands of years, as well as old monsters who usually hide in deep mountains and old forests cultivating without asking about worldly affairs, likewise could not help but leave their long-time homes and head straight west.

After all, facing the third-ranked heavenly fire on the Heavenly Fire Ranking, a heaven-earth divine object that could drive Dou Sheng powerhouses mad, how could anyone stay calm?

Moreover, to put it bluntly, this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is basically one of the few heaven-earth wonders that non-bloodline forces on the Zhongzhou Continent can approach, and its effects are astonishing.

Faced with this great opportunity, the entire Zhongzhou Continent fell completely into madness.

Meanwhile, some yin-cold attribute heavenly treasures on the market were also completely looted at this moment.

Even if the price was several times normal, those powerhouses bought them without blinking.

After all, if one could rely on these things to seize the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, no matter how much money was spent, it would be worth it.

Whoosh!

On a desolate, uninhabited mountain peak, suddenly the sound of breaking wind rose, and a vast dark crowd of figures flew in from the distant horizon, then in an instant rushed wildly toward the distance.

Everyone's gaze unanimously turned forward, their faces filled with excitement and greed.

After all, such heaven-earth wonders are simply too tempting.

And within that endless crowd, Lin Feng looked at Yun Yun beside him, surrounded by swirling green winds like a fairy, and said: 'We're about to enter within a thousand li of where the demonic fire descends; get ready.'

'Mm.'

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun lightly nodded her chin, and her gaze also became solemn at this moment.

At the same time, Lin Feng also raised his head and looked toward the distant ahead.

At this moment, a blinding light on the horizon ahead continuously radiated like a scorching sun.

And as they drew nearer, waves of terrifying heat came toward them.

Especially when they were within a hundred li, Lin Feng noticed that many Dou Zun around him were sweating uncontrollably from their foreheads and hair.

'As expected of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire; even though it's sealed behind one layer, the residual heat it releases makes even those Dou Zun below one-star unable to resist.'

Lin Feng's peripheral vision swept over the nearby figures, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

A Dou Zun cultivator, on the continent, is already an openly top‑tier strongman.

But this level of strength, when facing the residual heat released by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, is just like that.

Moreover, this is still separated by an additional barrier.

Otherwise, these Dou Zun cultivators would probably be even more embarrassed.

"Husband, the wandering Dou Saints we've met along the way number at least three, and their target is clearly the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. It seems this time the top‑tier strongmen on the Zhongzhou Continent are truly pouring out."

While the former was sighing, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings and immediately said.

Hearing that, Lin Feng lightly nodded, noting that along the way they had also encountered many groups sharing the same goal.

But regarding these people, he did not pay much mind.

Because those Dou Saints, though considered peak beings by others, are in the end only one‑ or two‑star Dou Saints.

To seize the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, they are still somewhat weak.

Of course, even so, he must keep a mind to watch out.

After all, he also quietly amassed power during the times the ancients despised, until a sudden breakthrough made him a being that the great Imperial Clans must treat with caution.

"But I think those Ancient Six Tribes haven't arrived yet. After all, those flamboyant guys always like to make a show to display their ruler status."

Looking at the growing mass of silhouettes ahead, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and began recalling the combat power of the Ancient Six Tribes from the original work.

Although he now has four fragment maps and the fragment soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon.

But the cautious must still be more cautious.

But since the Demonic Fire space hasn't opened yet, he's not in a hurry to rush, instead continuing to blend among these Dou Zun and Half Saints, moving forward.

And a hundred li distance, even for Lin Feng and his companion whose speed has slowed to Dou Zun level, is merely a matter of a few breaths.

During the quiet journey, Lin Feng and Yun Yun finally gradually arrived at the place where the Demonic Fire descends.

Approaching the site, Lin Feng looked around and found that the area where the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire emerged was an ordinary deep forest, and his gaze further out saw a series of lush mountain ranges.

However, when Lin Feng's eyes swept forward, he saw that the continuous surrounding mountains abruptly ended there.

At this moment, aside from faint traces of dozens of former mountains, the area was merely a milky‑white desert.

At the same time, a terrifying temperature rose from this newborn desert, causing the space within thousands of li to feel intensely warped, making those of slightly lower strength unable to discern directions.

"Is this the place where the Demonic Fire space manifests?"

Lin Feng looked up at the sky ahead; at this moment the space there had already ruptured, milky‑white radiance pouring out of the fissures, illuminating hundreds of li as if it were daylight.

Within that radiance was a terrifying temperature that even a Dou Zun Peak cultivator could not endure.

"Such a dreadful temperature— even a Half Saint might not emerge unscathed,"

Together with Lin Feng, they slowly halted a kilometer beyond the shattered space, gazing at the milky radiance ahead and its terrifying heat; Yun Yun's exquisitely beautiful face was already filled with shock.

Even the external heat alone forces Dou Zun cultivators to retreat helplessly.

What kind of peril lies within that space?

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

Soon after Lin Feng and Yun Yun appeared above the desert, wind‑breaking sounds came from all directions in succession.

Immediately, silhouettes stopped far from the ruptured space, their eyes shimmering with awe as they gazed at the milky desert.

Since this Demonic Fire space is a well‑known secret realm on the Zhongzhou Continent, most of them were already aware of it.

Not long before, they had already deduced the emergence point of the Demonic Fire space from the surrounding high temperature.

But the last time they came, this place was a thriving range of towering mountains!

"Whoosh"

When the newcomers were stunned by the scene, the surrounding space suddenly writhed.

Immediately, dense black fog seeped out, covering the space.

At the same time, a movingly terrifying aura silently spread, instantly drawing everyone's gaze.

Under everyone's stare, the thick black fog began to dissipate, and three figures gradually emerged from it into view.

At this moment, it could be said that over ninety percent of the Zhongzhou Continent's strongmen had gathered here, so the spectacle was naturally immense.

When the three emerging from the black fog were clearly seen, the crowd collectively turned their gaze to the man in the middle, a middle‑aged fellow who looked quite ordinary, like any common person.

"Hall Master of the Soul Hall. As expected, people from the Soul Hall have also come to meddle?" Shortly after, low murmurs rose from the surrounding strongmen.

"The Soul Hall's chief and deputy, again these troublemakers!"

However, unlike others, a young male standing near the Demonic Fire space's sky, upon seeing the newcomers, immediately became unusually angry.

Even gray flames slowly rose uncontrolled in his eyes.

As Xiao Yan stared at the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, the newly appeared latter seemed to notice, then slowly turned his head, his gaze calm as a still well, toward Xiao Yan not far away.

After appraising him from head to toe, he said in a detached tone, "Young Xiao of the Xiao clan, you really came as well, but I hope you don't die this time. Otherwise, real trouble might arise."

"Hmph, you sent people to kill my clan members and seize my relatives. These grudges, I will settle with you sooner or later!"

Hearing that, Xiao Yan let out a cold snort; he could hardly be surprised, for Hun Miesheng feared that the ancient imperial jade he held would fall into the Ancient Clan's hands.

"Jie Jie, then let's see if you have the skill. Your father and two brothers are in the Soul Realm. If you want them, go ahead; if I even frown, that counts as my loss. Even if you don't know the way, I can lead you to reunite with them—anytime, Jie Jie."

Looking at Xiao Yan, who seemed to want to kill him with his gaze, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall merely gave a faint smile and said casually,

"Haha, this fellow was once struck by lightning in my Thunder Clan's Thunder Prison, his body full of wounds. Now that the scars have finally healed, hearing these minor world names probably scares him to death."

As soon as the former finished speaking, a hearty laugh rang out from the distant sky, like a heavy bell.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

At the instant the laugh sounded, several figures instantly flew from the distant horizon, landing beside Hun Miesheng and the others, their eyes mocking as they looked at Xiao Yan.

Hearing the sound, those around instinctively turned to look.

Then, when everyone saw that the newcomers were surrounded by swirling silver lightning and their skin was stone‑like, the crowd fell silent.

Because from those traits, most people in the arena guessed the newcomers' affiliation.

"People of the Thunder Clan and the Stone Clan?"

Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yan couldn't help but clench his fists, a flash of murderous intent flashing through his eyes in an instant.

After all, he hasn't forgotten the torment he endured within the Thunder Clan back then.

Seeing the former's expression, Gu Xun'er, worried about Xiao Yan, quickly seized the former's arm and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, don't mind those people; let's first finish dealing with the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire."

"Hmph, you wait with me!"

When Xiao Yan heard Gu Xun'er mention the words "Pure Lotus Demonic Fire," he instantly snapped out of his raging fury, realizing he was no match for the Soul Clan and others; faced with the Soul Extinction's teasing, he could only suppress his anger and ignore it.

"Tch, boring. I thought that kid was tough."

Seeing the former choose to ignore the taunts, a person beside the Hall Master of the Soul Hall sneered disdainfully, his tone full of contempt for Xiao Yan.

"Heh, that kid naturally cannot be compared with the Young Clan Leader Hun Feng. Though Hun Feng is only in the later stage of a Two-star Dou Saint, even some Three-star Dou Saints would probably not be able to defeat him. To kill Xiao Yan, who is merely a One-star Dou Saint, would be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing that, an elder beside him, surrounded constantly by silver thunder, gently stroked the beard on his chin and praised.

"Elder Lei Luo chuckled, 'Compared with you, a Four-star Dou Saint powerhouse, I still have a long way to go. In the future, you old man should give me more instruction.'"

Upon hearing that, the black‑robed man called Hun Feng lightly clasped his hands, and a youthful voice rose from beneath the black robe.

"Haha, well said, well said."

Hearing the former's words, Lei Luo, the Thunder Clan elder, laughed so broadly his mouth could barely stay shut, then placed his hand on his belly and laughed aloud.

Another Thunder Clan member, upon hearing that, also looked up proudly.

What does a feud with the Ancient Clan matter? With the Thunder Clan's strength, wherever they go they're in high demand!

The Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, seeing this scene, let a barely perceptible sneer appear at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "Laugh, laugh. Now your attention is all on the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire; when you return to your clan, who knows what that Tuoshe Ancient Imperial Jade in your ancestral hall will become."

"Interesting, Xiao Yan's soul realm has indeed broken through to the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection. Moreover, is the young man beside the Hall Master of the Soul Hall harboring a sub‑flame of Wu Nie Tun Yan within his body?"

While those people were making a scene, Lin Feng, far away, slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and chuckled inwardly.

However, after sensing the powerful devouring force within the young man beside the Soul Extinction, a flash of heat also crossed his eyes.

If he didn't want to attract the attention of those Dou Emperor families now, he would certainly seize that Wu Nie Tun Yan sub‑flame in the Demonic Fire space.

After all, with that devouring force, his subsequent actions would be much easier.

Indeed, whether gathering the bloodlines of Dou Emperor families or doing other things, the ability of Wu Nie Tun Yan can be of great help.

As for Xiao Ling's current ability, even facing the Wu Nie Tun Yan itself, she would still be an instant kill.

But subduing a single sub‑flame shouldn't be a big problem.

"Bang!"

Just as Lin Feng's attention was drawn to that Wu Nie Tun Yan sub‑flame, the distant sky suddenly rang again with a series of sky‑splitting sounds.

"Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, long time no see!"

In the next moment, a hearty laugh echoed slowly across the sky.

As the sound rose, five figures darted swiftly from the distant night sky, and the streaks of light transformed into five silhouettes that landed beside Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er and the others.

"This domineering power is indeed the sixth‑ranked Eight Desolation Flame, right? And the exotic fire on that Four-star Dou Saint old man, judging by the water power it constantly emits, should be the sixteenth‑ranked Fire Cloud Water Flame. The Flame Clan is truly wealthy!"

Sensing a trace of exotic fire power emanating from the newcomer, Lin Feng glanced, then fixed his gaze on the other three, shaking his head helplessly and thinking, "Indeed, today is another exotic fire gathering. This earth power is one of the Yao Clan's inherited exotic fires, the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, I suppose."

"But that woman is indeed Yao Ling, truly worthy of her special constitution; at such a young age, her soul realm has already reached the later stage of the Heavenly Realm."

Looking at the sole woman among the five, Lin Feng quickly guessed her identity.

But thinking of so many exotic fires swirling before him, yet he cannot obtain them, Lin Feng felt a hint of helplessness.

"Indeed, my own strength is still insufficient!"

He thought that to himself, then Lin Feng slipped both hands into his pockets and continued to watch.

"So it's Brother Huo Xuan, truly long time no see; I didn't expect you've already reached the advanced Half‑Saint stage."

At the same time, Xiao Yan, seeing the newcomer, also slightly clasped his hands and let a smile appear at the corner of his mouth.

Although Huo Xuan is from an ancient race, he's quite straightforward, so Xiao Yan's impression of him is also good.

But before he could finish, he stared in astonishment at Huo Xuan, somewhat insecure, and said, "Brother Huo Xuan, that domineering power and raging flame aura on you—could it be"

"Haha, by luck and with the help of the clan elders, I tamed the Eight Desolation Flame inherited from the Flame Clan."

Seeing the former's surprised look, Huo Xuan laughed loudly, then without concealment, revealed the name of the exotic fire within him.

Then he patted his head, pointed to a red‑haired elder beside him, and introduced, "I forgot to introduce him earlier; this is Elder Huo Yao of our clan. Don't underestimate him; he's a Four-star Dou Saint‑level powerhouse and also harbors the Fire Cloud Water Flame."

"Alas, an eighth‑ranked, a sixteenth‑ranked, and the Red Lotus Business Flame I saw before—truly a testament to the long‑standing heritage of the ancient great clan; such a collection is indeed enviable."

Hearing that, Xiao Yan immediately shook his head, thinking helplessly.

While speaking, he quickly performed a bow and greeted Elder Huo Yao.

After greeting the Flame Clan members, Xiao Yan then turned his gaze to the three Yao Clan members who arrived together with the Flame Clan.

He then discovered that this Yao Clan party consisted of a man, a woman, and an elder.

Xiao Yan guessed that the Yao Clan wanted to bring their young talents to see if they could seize the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, so they unprecedentedly brought two young prodigies from the clan.

Looking, Xiao Yan saw that the Yao Clan man wore a splendid brocade robe, his handsome complexion even exuding a hint of feminine aura.

Because his lips were somewhat thin, Xiao Yan thought the man might be a bit cold and harsh.

As for the woman beside the man, she had long azure hair, delicate cheeks, but was as cold as ice, clearly an ice‑mountain beauty.

The final elder wore an expensive white robe, hands tucked in his sleeves, eyes narrowed, occasional sharp light glinting.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er whispered beside Xiao Yan, "Brother Xiao Yan, you've already met the Flame Clan people. As for the Yao Clan newcomers, you may still be unfamiliar; that young man is named Yao Tian, the most outstanding among the current young generation of the Yao Clan. His soul power isn't as strong as yours, but he has already entered the later stage of the Heavenly Realm."

"Moreover, this person once swallowed a treasure pill that almost transformed into a Ninth‑grade Profound Pill; his own strength has now reached the mid‑stage of a One‑star Dou Saint. Most importantly, he has also successfully refined a Ninth‑grade Treasure Pill. Though luck may have played a part, it should not be underestimated."

"Ninth‑grade Treasure Pill. It seems the Yao Clan, despite always looking down on others, truly is the continent's foremost alchemy family, far surpassing other alchemist groups. A sub‑forty‑year‑old Ninth‑grade Treasure Pill alchemist, even a Dan Tower, would still be no match; that bastard I'll kill him sooner or later."

Halfway through, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Now that I've already entered the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul, that Lin Feng guy—I'll eventually kill that bastard."

And at this moment, Gu Xun'er continued whispering beside Xiao Yan, "As for that Yao Clan woman, she is the Yao Ling I mentioned earlier to you, Brother Xiao Yan; she is the Yao Clan member most likely to ascend to the Imperial Realm soul."

Oh, is it her?

Hearing that, Xiao Yan immediately turned his surprised gaze toward the blue-haired woman.

Speaking of this woman, she almost became the fiancée of that Gu Qingyang.

And thinking of this, Xiao Yan immediately clicked his tongue and said: "She's still a beauty; if Brother Qingyang were here, seeing this medicine spirit's appearance, he'd probably be so angry he'd beat his chest and stamp his feet. But you guys are really impressive, actually managing to successfully break the Four-Clans Alliance."

"Xiao Yan bro, you've also turned bad."

Hearing that, Gu Xun'er gave him an annoyed glance.

But afterwards, she explained: "We also owe it to Elder Gu Yang's suggestion; originally we were just trying it out, but we didn't expect to succeed. Even Elder Gu Yang himself was quite surprised; I didn't expect that his offhand remark would actually succeed."

"Elder Gu Yang, I didn't expect that elder to be still quite impressive; if I get the chance next time, I really want to meet him."

Hearing that, Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to these three medicine clan members.

"These medicine clan people… Well, for the sake of the bigger picture, let's just say hello to them."

Looking at these medicine clan people, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then forced a grin and stepped forward to greet them.

And as expected, facing that proud medicine clan, Xiao Yan's attempt to greet them not only failed to win their favor, but instead ended up being snubbed; he could only flick his sleeve and retreat, no longer wishing to speak with them. (End of chapter)
