Chapter 1208: with translation of chapter title

Brother Xiao Yan, we should first collect Senior Xiao Chen's remains, then go chase after Lin Feng and Hun Mie Sheng and them. After all, if the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire falls into their hands, that would be troublesome.

Seeing Xiao Yan in the midst of rage and sorrow, Gu Xun'er hurried forward to comfort him.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan's body stiffened instantly; after remaining silent for a long while, he then nodded.

Immediately after, he raised his head to look at the headless corpse that had already fallen onto the square while he was in grief, and silently walked up to it.

Ancestor Xiao Chen, rest assured, later I will think of a way to avenge you.

Gazing at the emaciated corpse before him, blood still continuously flowing from its severed neck, Xiao Yan silently murmured in his heart.

While speaking, he couldn't help but clench his palm tightly, and his sharp nails instantly pierced his palm, causing drops of bright red blood to seep out from between his fingers.

Brother Xiao Yan, the death of Senior Xiao Chen can only be blamed on Lin Feng and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall; you must not let anger harm your body. Doing so will only let those petty people gloat.

Seeing the blood continuously dripping from Xiao Yan's palm, Gu Xun'er hurried forward and grabbed his arm, looking quite distressed.

Startled by the pulling, Xiao Yan immediately forced a smile toward Gu Xun'er and said, "Don't worry, Xun'er, I'm not that fragile."

Saying that, he turned his head again toward the corpse ahead, then moved his finger, and a gray flame instantly appeared on his fingertip.

Then he flicked his finger lightly; the flame shot out, elongating with the wind into a gray fire dragon several dozen feet long, which swiftly swam to the side of Xiao Chen's corpse.

Immediately after, the fire dragon's tail coiled, lifting the corpse below, then wrapped it completely with its own body.

At the same time, seeing the fire dragon wrap his ancestor's corpse, Xiao Yan waved his hand and stored it into his spatial ring.

Let's go.

After securing his ancestor's corpse, Xiao Yan fell silent for a brief moment, spoke expressionlessly, then turned and flew forward.

Seeing this, Gu Xun'er did not hesitate, quickly followed up, and from time to time spoke up, trying to let Xiao Yan recover from his anger and sorrow.

Ah.

As for Gu Nanhai at the rear, seeing this scene, he could only sigh and shake his head, then likewise followed along.

While Xiao Yan and the others were low in spirits, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Lin Feng, and some others had already leapt across that huge gate.

Immediately afterward, everyone, beyond the huge gate, saw an extremely long staircase stretching far into the distance.

At the very end of these stairs, a huge altar stone platform could faintly be seen.

Interesting.

Gazing at the altar stone platform at the end, Lin Feng's mouth curled into a faint smile; he then took Yun Yun's soft, smooth hand, stepped onto the stone stairs, and proceeded step by step toward the end.

However, ahead of them, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the other two had already gone a step further, nearly reaching the top of the stone stairs.

"Husband, could there be danger here?"

Walking on the stairs, Yun Yun's gaze continually swept over the surroundings, her expression growing somewhat tense.

After all, the one guarding the gate outside is a powerhouse on the verge of breaking into the five-star Dou Sheng realm; inside, it's obvious there cannot be a lack of defenses.

"No problem; we'll block whatever comes. If there really is any danger, we'll think of a solution when the time comes. And now, worrying more won't let you predict the future."

While speaking, Lin Feng's gaze swept toward the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the others who had already reached the top of the stairs.

"Mm, husband, what you said also makes sense."

Hearing that, Yun Yun lightly nodded her head, then fell silent, merely following him upward in silence.

After the two had walked for about ten minutes, they finally approached the altar; upon looking up, they saw that the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the two others ahead were vigilantly preparing to strike at any moment, their gazes fixed unmoving on what lay ahead.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately continued his gaze forward, and then saw that upon the altar stood a massive throne, towering prominently.

At the same time, he also saw on that throne a young man clad in white robes, sitting cross-legged in silence, while strands of milky-white flames continually swirled around his body, ingeniously shifting into various forms.

Looking around, this white-robed figure merely sat quietly, his entire body emanating not a trace of aura.

However, when Lin Feng looked, he quickly realized that the young man was altogether quite eerie.

Crack.

After Lin Feng, with Yun Yun, had fully arrived at the altar atop the stairs, Hun Mie Sheng and the others not far away also instantly turned wary glances toward the two.

After all, they had already arrived here; even though that 'young man' said nothing, they could vaguely guess what his identity was, or rather what he was.

After all, aside from the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, they really couldn't think of anyone else who could sit so leisurely upon that throne!

Upon arriving at the edge of the altar, Lin Feng neither spoke nor acted; instead, he directly took Yun Yun to a spot some distance from the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the two others, his gaze calmly fixed on the scene before him.

Crack crack.

Not long after Lin Feng and Yun Yun arrived here, Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er, and the three others behind them likewise hurriedly finished the stairs and reached this ancient stone altar.

"Pure Lotus Demonic Fire?!"

When Xiao Yan arrived here, his gaze instantly fixed on the front throne, more precisely on the 'young man' seated upon it.

While speaking, uncontrollable greed surged across Xiao Yan's face.

After all, what stands before him now is the third-ranked top-tier strange fire on the Strange Fire List!

As for the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, according to numerous ancient texts, its ability is extraordinarily terrifying, possessing a purifying effect capable of cleansing all things in the world!

Virtually anything, once even slightly touched by it, will be purified into nothingness.

In this world, only a very few things can resist its purifying power!

"You guys with your greedy gazes are really annoying."

If he could refine it, his strength would likely surge instantly, surpassing Lin Feng and becoming the continent's new top youngster.

However, as Xiao Yan indulged in his thoughts, the white-robed man on the throne seemed to also sense those who had come to this stage; at this moment, they had stepped onto this altar, and he accordingly slowly opened his eyes.

And on his handsome face now appeared a smile that was somewhat breathtaking; he smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter; after so many times, I've grown accustomed to this scene, ancestors. If you can defeat me, you will obtain the origin of the demonic fire. But if you lose, you will remain here forever like those before you, becoming my fire slaves."

His gaze swept over the eight people below, and the young man's voice on the throne spread softly and gently.

Although the voice was extremely soft, as it spread, it seemed as if even this very space trembled slightly at that moment.

As that voice resonated throughout the space, the expressions of Gu Nanhai and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and others gradually grew solemn, and their hearts welled up with a sense of defeat.

Because under that voice, they actually felt that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire before them gave them a sense of being unsurpassable.

This feeling almost made them lose their will to fight and directly choose to submit.

Heh, everyone, don't be afraid; we have the numbers, so what if they're strong? Let's just team up and defeat him, okay?

Seeing that everyone's hearts were gradually giving rise to thoughts of surrender, Lin Feng suddenly spoke, and his voice was like a cosmic bell, instantly making the people around him sober up.

This is no surprise it's the third-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire List—it can actually influence this Hall Master of the Soul Hall's emotions. If it weren't for this brat's reminder, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall might really have stumbled here this time!

The Hall Master of the Soul Hall, suddenly startled, after sweeping his gaze around, immediately shook his head hard, his eyes extremely vigilant as they fixed on the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire on the throne.

At the same time, Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er, and their companions also came to their senses, likewise staring at the throne with extreme vigilance.

I used to hear that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire can take a person's emotions as a guide, silently entering a living being's body, and eventually purifying the host's flesh, soul, and even battle qi into nothingness, turning them into a puppet of the demonic fire. I was half-believing before, but now I see I was just being arrogant.

Gazing at the young man on the throne, Gu Nanhai's face was extremely solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er also nodded in agreement.

Earlier, if it weren't for that idiot Lin Feng suddenly blurting out and waking them up, these people might have gradually collapsed under the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's methods and thus given up resistance.

Especially Xiao Yan, at this moment he was so frightened he could hardly speak.

He originally thought that after breaking through to the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's ability to manipulate emotions would have no effect on him whatsoever.

Indeed, he never expected that he would still have been ensnared without even realizing it.

Moreover, he hadn't even noticed it at all.

However, just as those people were waking up, the handsome young man on the throne still had his gentle smile undiminished; he simply gazed at the scene with a calm expression, showing no sign of anger after being exposed.

What on earth is this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire thinking? We've already recovered from its emotional control, yet it isn't panicking at all?

Seeing that the former's face showed no trace of anger, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's brows instantly knotted together, wondering what trick the other was up to.

But just to be safe, he still looked toward Gu Nanhai beside him and said, "How about it, old ghost? Should we team up again, first scattering the opponent's spirit body, then proceed with internal competition?"

Upon hearing that, Gu Nanhai immediately turned his gaze to Gu Xun'er beside him.

Although her status within the clan had recently declined, no matter what, she remains the daughter of the Ancient Clan's chief and the sole possessor of a divine-grade bloodline; her opinion must always be heard.

After hearing the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's proposal, Gu Xun'er then glanced at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire above whose details were unknown, and finally looked toward Xiao Yan beside her.

As for Xiao Yan, upon seeing Gu Xun'er's gaze, he recalled that the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and Lin Feng had teamed up in the previous stage to kill the sole surviving ancestor of their Xiao clan, and thus he instinctively wanted to refuse the other's proposal.

However, upon realizing that with their own strength they likely could not defeat the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, he gritted his teeth and silently nodded.

Seeing that, Gu Xun'er immediately turned her head and nodded at Gu Nanhai.

As for the latter, upon seeing this layer upon layer of communication, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely helpless expression.

Seeing that the Ancient Clan side had no objections, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall then turned his gaze toward Lin Feng beside them.

However, when Lin Feng saw the gaze projected toward him, he immediately shook his head, spread his hands, shrugged, and said, "I don't want it; even if you manage to defeat that Pure Lotus Demonic Fire right in front of you, I won't take it. Because my soul power is strong, for some reason I feel that this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is off, so for now I'll stay out of it."

While speaking, Lin Feng took Yun Yun's hand again, then pulled her soft little hand, instantly retreating ten li to one side, and then quietly observed the movements of the people ahead.

Something's off?

Upon hearing Lin Feng's explanation, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the Ancient Clan people all turned their gazes to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire on the throne.

After observing for a while, the six of them all furrowed their brows; no matter how they examined it, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire seemed perfectly fine!

However, after failing to notice anything wrong with the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall then turned his gaze to the black-robed man beside him.

Seeing the Hall Master's gaze directed at him, the black-robed man quickly circulated the black flames within his body.

Upon sensing the intense yearning emotion emanating from the black flames within his body, he immediately nodded, indicating there was no problem.

Seeing that, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall no longer dwelled on these trivialities, but turned to Gu Nanhai and said, "Old ghost, let's all go up together and try to smash this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire as quickly as possible, so that later when other clans arrive we won't have complications."

Fine, just like before.

Hearing that, Gu Nanhai had no hesitation and directly agreed to the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's proposal.

And while they were speaking, an azure water ball began to appear on his palm.

At the same time, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er standing beside him likewise began making preparations.

After all, they knew that this time was different from before; they had to swarm forward and quickly seize the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire to avoid unnecessary mishaps.

As for the Soul clan side, the two others besides the Hall Master of the Soul Hall also readied themselves to act at any moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next instant, as the sound of tearing space rang out continuously in this area, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the members of their two teams swiftly vanished from their spots and shot toward the distant throne.

However, as they moved to attack, Xiao Yan also frowned and glanced at Lin Feng and Yun Yun in the distance.

He couldn't understand why Lin Feng and Yun Yun had come this far, yet still so readily gave up on the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

Could it be that this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire really has something strange about it?

Thinking this, Xiao Yan's soul power surged outward, rushing wildly toward the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire to frantically sense any spot.

Boom!

However, as Xiao Yan's soul power just extended outward, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire flicked its hand, and milky-white flames surged out from behind the throne, sweeping around and instantly incinerating Xiao Yan's soul power into nothingness.

And after dispelling Xiao Yan's soul perception, it immediately shifted its form, appearing in an instant above the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and Gu Nanhai and their companions.

At the same time, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire clenched its fist, and the milky-white flames around it condensed into numerous massive fire spears.

Then, as it swung its arm, those six spears tore through space, bringing a destructive aura, and violently shot toward the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the others.

I never expected that after a thousand years, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire would have grown to this extent; this time, we're probably in trouble.

Seeing those fire spears that they could hardly resist, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the six others' faces sank, while they employed battle techniques to block the spears, their eyes darting wildly as they searched for a countermeasure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the very moment they were contemplating strategies, the fire spears nearly simultaneously struck the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the six others.

As their battle techniques collided with the fire spears, the techniques of the several individuals exploded in unison, and they hurriedly condensed layers of battle qi barriers before themselves in an attempt to block the spears.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain; under everyone's prayers, the battle qi barriers they themselves condensed seemed to actually work.

When only the last barrier remained before them, it truly succeeded in blocking those fire spears.

The white-robed man, seeing this, not only did not become angry that the spears were blocked, but instead a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He wasn't afraid that these people could block his attacks; he was afraid they wouldn't dare to fight it.

On the contrary, as long as we start fighting here, the one who profits is it!

However, upon seeing the two black shadows in the distance, the smile on his handsome face immediately slightly retracted, and then a hint of coldness appeared on his face.

Although these two people didn't know why they sensed something off, overall, it still had some impact on his plan.

But thinking that the six people in front had already taken the bait, after a brief consideration, he chose to temporarily give up dealing with those two and focus on handling the six in front first.

Thinking this, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire turned its head toward the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and Gu Nanhai and others, then continued waving its palm, releasing one flame spear after another.

As for the Soul Clan, Xiao Yan, and the Ancient Clan and these six people, they could only grit their teeth and desperately resist.

However, just as that person in front was desperately resisting the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, on the other side, Lin Feng was also busy with his own affairs.

Of course, he is not currently busy thinking about how to escape, but is trying to make contact with that ball of light in his mind.

More precisely, he is seeking the help of the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon!

However, the frustrating thing is that this ball of light, no matter how he calls, never responds, leaving Lin Feng extremely helpless.

After all, although he seems detached now, he can tell this is an illusion, thanks largely to having read the original work.

Otherwise, he estimates he would be just like those people in front, unable to notice any abnormality at all.

Moreover, knowing that in those previous illusions, he had basically read the original and knew of a greatly enhanced spiritual power, it wouldn't take long for him to find the flaw and see through it.

However, since arriving here, Lin Feng, although relying on his foreknowledge, has managed to evade some of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's tactics.

But when it comes to breaking the illusion, he has gained nothing.

He now knows this is an illusion, but as for breaking it, he knows nothing.

To be honest, Lin Feng also knows that if he regards that Pure Lotus Demonic Fire as a mere cabbage, the other party's illusion will have no effect on him.

However, the problem is that, aside from being able to control people's emotions, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is also a genuine Seven-Star Dou Sheng expert.

And as a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, Lin Feng currently does not want to face off against it.

On one hand, he lacks confidence in defeating a Seven-Star Dou Sheng expert; on the other hand, the opponent is the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the third-ranked top-tier strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking, whose combat power far exceeds that of other Seven-Star Dou Sheng experts.

Especially in this demonic fire space, it is a space created by the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, who was the closest to a Dou Emperor expert in that era; moreover, with all its methods, plus he is an outsider unfamiliar with this place, he simply cannot win.

After all, among ordinary strange fires, the third-ranked Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is second only to the Wu Nie Tun Yan that escaped from the Gu Di Dong Fu and fortunately was not refined by anyone.

Otherwise, the Wu Nie Tun Yan might not necessarily be able to surpass the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire by that much!

Of course, Lin Feng now no longer has the capacity to worry about these things; he is frantically calling out in his mind to the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon.

However, that ball of light simply never responds.

"Ah, could it be that after entering this demonic fire space I never greeted it, causing the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon to get angry and ignore me?"

After calling for a long time, Lin Feng still did not get the desired result, and then, under Yun Yun's puzzled gaze, he let out a helpless sigh.

After calling for a long time, Lin Feng still hadn't gotten the result he wanted, and he let out a helpless sigh under Yun Yun's bewildered gaze.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to try another method, the light in the ball of light in his mind suddenly brightened slightly at this moment.

Immediately afterward, streams of information surged forth from that light ball and quickly entered Lin Feng's mind.

"My goodness, there's finally a response, senior—I thought you were ignoring me!"

Having reacted, Lin Feng hurriedly received this precious information while also not forgetting to complain in his mind.

Because just now, he was indeed quite frightened.

After all, the reason he dared to come up with the idea of entering the demonic fire space to fight the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was precisely because there was a remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon in his mind.

If the other party didn't pay him any mind, his troubles would be great.

However, after complaining, Lin Feng immediately stopped paying attention to external information and instead wholeheartedly digested the information transmitted by the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon.

However, after complaining, Lin Feng immediately stopped paying attention to external information and instead wholeheartedly began to digest this information transmitted from the remnant souls of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon.

However, the light ball in his mind seemed to have heard his complaint as well, and it immediately brightened slightly, as if it too were complaining about his verbosity.

As for Yun Yun, upon seeing this scene, she first froze for a moment, but quickly she vaguely guessed something, and then hurriedly kept watch toward the mostly one-sided battle in the distance while standing in front of Lin Feng as a guardian.

After all, she had also heard her man mention the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon before.

After all, she too had heard her man mention the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon.
