Chapter 1210: True Pure Lotus Demonic Fire

Hearing that, Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he weighed the pros and cons, then he answered truthfully: "No matter how realistic this Dream Nightmare Mist is, an illusion remains an illusion. As long as you consider yourselves invincible in your hearts, he has no way to deal with you; conversely, if you harbor the thought that he is extremely strong, then here he will forever be undefeatable."

In short, his strength here depends entirely on what we think in our hearts.

Courting death!

As Lin Feng's words fell, the handsome face of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire suddenly changed dramatically, and with a furious shout, it erupted from his throat.

Then the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire moved, appearing ghostlike above Lin Feng's head.

The next moment, he clenched his fist, and the milky-white flame once again condensed into a massive flame spear; as he swung his arm, the spear tore through space, bringing a destructive aura, and it slammed fiercely toward Lin Feng!

At this moment, his power was more than ten times greater than when he fought the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and others earlier.

Even under such destructive power, though they knew it wasn't aimed at them, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the others far away still turned pale.

Seeing this, Lin Feng turned his head and called out to Yun Yun in the distance: "Yun'er, you must not panic; just keep treating it like a big cabbage, otherwise trouble will only grow."

Okay.

Hearing the reminder, Yun Yun quickly forced herself not to listen to the sharp sound ringing in her ears from the surrounding energy being violently compressed, suppressed her fear, gathered all her battle qi inside her body, and regarded the opponent as a big cabbage.

Seeing the distant flame spear plummeting from the sky, the others also clenched their teeth against panic and gave up resistance.

After all, since Lin Feng and the others were doing the same, they didn't believe the opponent would toy with their lives using his own.

Bang!

The next moment, the massive flame spear plummeted from the sky, crashing down with destructive force, slamming heavily into Lin Feng's body before exploding violently, a towering flame vortex sweeping outward and instantly engulfing the others.

However, just as everyone thought their bodies would suffer heavy injury, the seemingly extremely violent flame suddenly vanished, as if it had never appeared.

Damn brat!

Seeing this, a flash of explosive anger appeared on the handsome face of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the sky.

Although his aura was extremely intimidating, as others began to doubt the reality of this place and of him, his body became quite illusory.

He obviously hadn't expected this either, and could only glare hatefully at Lin Feng.

He looked as if Lin Feng were his father's killer.

However, Lin Feng had no intention of minding the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's emotions at this moment.

After noticing that the surrounding illusion had grown much weaker, he immediately sprang into action.

Lin Feng's expression suddenly turned solemn; he extended two fingers and pointed ahead of himself, where a drop of essence blood slowly appeared on his fingertip.

As that drop of essence blood appeared, Lin Feng's complexion also turned slightly pale.

Dream Phantom, break!

Immediately after, Lin Feng moved; that drop of essence blood was tapped by his fingertip, then swiftly traced in front of him, finally forming a strange blood sigil.

A Dream-Breaking Sigil? How could you possibly know this technique?!

Seeing that strange blood sigil, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's face changed dramatically again, then quickly grew grim.

Although this thing has no offensive power whatsoever, it is different when facing the Dream Nightmare Mist.

As soon as it collides with my illusion, the illusion I painstakingly built will surely be doomed!

Go!

But Lin Feng obviously had no intention of minding the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's emotions; once the blood sigil was fully condensed, he pointed his finger, and the sigil shot forward at great speed, striking the void ahead, where it suddenly burst into a blinding blood-colored radiance.

Boom—!

At the instant the blood radiance flared, the space where everyone stood suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Finally, in the astonished gazes of Lin Feng, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the others, it exploded with a bang, shattering like glass!

At the moment the space shattered, Lin Feng and the other seven all felt a sudden wave of intense vertigo deep in their minds.

Fortunately, this sensation came quickly and faded even faster.

In less than a minute, everyone gradually recovered from the dizziness.

Afterward, those who felt utterly unsafe hurriedly opened their eyes and cautiously scanned their surroundings.

But looking around, what met their eyes was no longer the vast stone altar from before, but an endless sea of magma, as if this space were entirely a magma ocean.

Above this magma sea hovered several enormous volcanic stone islands.

Lin Feng and the other seven happened to be standing on those islands at that moment.

Not far behind them, a huge silver ring of unknown purpose slowly rotated.

At the same time, looking downward, they saw that the temperature of the magma beneath the stone islands was terrifyingly high, and occasionally bursts of milky-white flame shot up from it.

The temperature of these flames was enough to burn a Dou Zun cultivator to ashes.

We... have we truly left the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's illusion?

Seeing this unfamiliar region, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the others did not relax; instead, they all spoke up at once, questioning Lin Feng.

At the same time, they kept watchful eyes on their surroundings, fearing an attack might come from anywhere.

Having no ideas, the psychological shadow left by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's illusion earlier was too great; now they found it hard not to be nervous.

After all, experiencing such helplessness once is enough.

I think we've already come out. It's just that we haven't yet escaped danger.

Hearing those people's chattering questions, Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and his heart felt a relieved sigh as if a weight had been lifted.

After all that trouble, I finally managed to break free from that damned illusion.

At this moment, his heart was filled with lingering fear.

This Dream Nightmare Mist, true to its reputation as the signature technique of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, is truly terrifying to the extreme.

If not for the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon's help, even though he had long known the general situation inside, he would still have fallen victim to the Dream Nightmare Mist.

After all, knowing something and being able to break it are two different matters.

Hah.

Hearing Lin Feng say they had left the illusion, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and others who had experienced it earlier also subconsciously chose to believe him, then let out a great sigh of relief.

「Now we've finally shaken off the restriction of that illusion; this place is truly too dangerous. I really can't understand why this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire chose to erupt in us just when our power surged, and we even learned the techniques of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon! 」

Having escaped that helpless illusion, Gu Nanhai then glanced over Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan, and his heart eased a little.

As long as those two don't encounter any trouble, he won't need to worry.

「Damn it, why do I have so much Pure Lotus Demonic Fire inside me! 」

However, just as the former relaxed, the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall's startled and angry shriek suddenly rang out in this space without warning.

「Damn it, what are you screaming about?! 」

As soon as the former's words fell, Hun Feng and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall couldn't help but curse angrily in their hearts.

In fact, they had already discovered the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire within their own hall, and the two of them immediately mobilized the black flames within their bodies and relied on their overbearing fighting energy to eliminate it.

But they hadn't expected that, before they could warn this guy not to shout randomly and try to divert Gu Nanhai, Lin Feng and others' attention—ideally letting those Pure Lotus Demonic Fires explode inside the opponent's body to injure them, thereby increasing their chances of seizing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

But this brainless idiot ended up leaking the information, causing their plan to go up in smoke.

「Inside? Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? 」

Indeed, after the former's reminder, Gu Nanhai, who had been focusing his attention on Gu Xun'er, quickly sent out a thread of perception to carefully search within his own body.

As for the others, they also promptly set aside what they were doing and all began to carefully examine their own bodies.

However, Lin Feng didn't really care about this, because he had already prepared beforehand; he had continuously used his soul to perceive his body at all times and cleared away any demonic fire that had entered his body.

Thus, at present, he has no such problem within his body.

Of course, although Lin Feng had already completely cleared the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire from his body, Yun Yun dared not be careless and promptly began to search within her own body.

And under everyone's meticulous search that left no corner unchecked, they indeed each found tiny traces of Pure Lotus Demonic Fire lurking within their bodies.

Even Yun Yun likewise found within her body some milky-white flames about the size of a grain of sand.

Next, they each employed their own methods: those with alien fire used alien fire, while those without used fighting energy to forcibly expel it.

Finally, they quickly drove out those tiny flames that had secretly infiltrated.

Of course, the alien fire Yun Yun used to expel it was naturally the alien fire Lin Feng gave her.

「Whoosh! 」

However, just as the few people inside had finished clearing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire from their bodies, suddenly, milky-white rings of light appeared on the floating volcanic stone islands around them.

Next, figures stumbled out from those rings and fell onto the lower stone islands. At the same time, the suddenly appearing rings and people successfully drew the gazes of Lin Feng and the other eight.

When they looked over, they found that the people who had fallen from the rings numbered roughly eighty or ninety.

These disheveled people, without exception, were panting heavily, their faces covered with fear.

「It seems that Lin Feng tearing apart the illusion caused some chain reaction, also bringing out those who had been trapped in the external illusion. 」

Seeing those frightened people, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered secretly.

After all, with the increase in numbers, his plan had become somewhat more complicated.

But contrary to the former, upon seeing these people emerge safely, Lin Feng's heart actually relaxed greatly.

After all, if these people died, there would be no one to help him consume the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

What place is this? I was clearly just... why did I suddenly appear here?

Suddenly transported here, after the remaining four great ancient races and those other non-bloodline powerhouses reacted, they immediately surveyed the surroundings with doubtful gazes, their eyes full of suspicion, fearing that this place might be another trap.

However, Lin Feng naturally had no leisure to answer their questions.

After scanning those who had just been transported over, he immediately waved at Yun Yun, gesturing for her to come over.

After all, once the fight starts, having Yun Yun nearby would make him feel more at ease.

Upon seeing her man wave, Yun Yun didn't hesitate, her figure flashing; in the next moment, accompanied by a waft of fragrance, her alluring figure appeared beside him.

Immediately, she asked: "Husband, is there something going on?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng nodded, then turned his gaze toward the distant magma sea.

Seeing his action, Yun Yun hurriedly followed his gaze.

"Bang!"

Looking over, in the next moment, a magma pillar with a diameter of a hundred zhang shot up violently from the distant magma sea.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, a handsome man in white robes slowly walked out of the rolling magma, arriving beneath the eyes of all present.

"Swish"

Gazing at this figure, which was somewhat more real than the previous illusion, the expressions of Lin Feng and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, among others, instantly grew solemn.

Because they had already guessed that this 'young man' before them was likely the true Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

Looking at the white-robed man who had suddenly emerged from the magma, as well as the expressions of Lin Feng and the others, the people from the newly arrived Yan, Lei, Yao, and Shi four great clans vaguely guessed something, and thereafter a series of greedy, fervent gazes were cast upon him.

"Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, I never expected that in these thousand years you would have refined the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon's Dream Nightmare Mist to such an extent; truly it makes this hall master look at you anew."

On the stone island, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall in black robes slowly raised his dark eyes, his expression somewhat unsightly as he stared at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

In the previous illusion, if Lin Feng had not struck to break it, even he would not have realized he was still trapped within the illusion.

"Clamor!"

Upon hearing the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's words, those people far away who had just emerged from the illusion instantly burst into clamorous noises.

Immediately, the gazes directed at that handsome white-robed man were instantly filled with greed and fervor.

In that case, isn't the third-ranked strange fire on the strange fire list right before their eyes?

As long as they defeat it, the origin of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire will be theirs!

Likewise, the people of the surrounding ancient races stared at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire with eyes blazing hot, their greed continually spreading from their hearts.

Even they had never heard of any strange fire capable of constructing such a bizarre illusion that even a four-star Dou Saint could not detect.

That prior experience made him aware of the terror of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but precisely because of that, their greed multiplied.

After all, the stranger the opponent, the greater the benefits they would reap after subduing it, which would also increase exponentially!

Upon thinking this, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Everyone, this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is becoming ever more bizarre, its nature increasingly brutal and lawless; this time we cannot continue to let it do evil. After all, if we let it escape, our Central State will surely be plunged into suffering; this matter concerns the safety of the Central State—how could we stand idly by? We must execute it here!"

The Hall Master of the Soul Hall is right; we must execute him here, we cannot let him go out to bring disaster to Zhongzhou.

As soon as the former finished speaking, the dozens of people around echoed in unison, putting on a righteous and solemn appearance.

To someone who didn't know better, it would seem these people were willing to sacrifice themselves to stop the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire from going out to bring disaster to Zhongzhou.

However, if they could hide the greed and fervor in their eyes a bit better, the act would be more convincing.

Meanwhile, the white-robed man on the lava pillar directly ignored the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the others, his gaze shifting slightly before locking onto Lin Feng.

Immediately after, a cold voice slowly came from his mouth: "Just who are you to him, and how could you break my nightmare illusion?"

"Hehe, maybe it was just a coincidence. After all, if I could solve it, I would have done so long ago; why wait this long to act?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng spread his hands, looking completely nonchalant.

As for the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, he naturally couldn't reveal it, and besides, he had no obligation to tell these guys.

"Was it this brat who broke the illusion?"

Upon hearing the two's conversation, the people around instantly turned their astonished gazes toward Lin Feng.

Especially the people from the other several great clans, they never expected that the latter, relying only on the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng, could actually solve the illusion that even they had no way to break.

However, these people of the ancient clans naturally would not feel grateful for Lin Feng's favor.

After all, that brat is the first person in all these years since they cleared out their other opponents to dare challenge their authority.

Therefore, how could these people of the ancient clans possibly feel grateful for the other side's favor?

And the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire naturally wouldn't believe Lin Feng's nonsense.

If his long-maintained illusion were so easy to break, how could those other four-star Dou Sheng powerhouses be firmly under his control?

"Forget it; since you're unwilling to speak, once I turn you into a Fire Slave, you'll naturally tell me everything in detail. Although the current situation exceeds my expectations a bit, I believe the final outcome won't change."

As he spoke, the white-robed man waved his hand, and an intangible ripple instantly spread out, causing the milky-white light circle that had just transported those people here to rapidly shrink and then completely vanish from everyone's sight.

"You bastard, what do you want to do?!"

Seeing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire actually conceal the spatial passage, the vast majority of those present were instantly shocked and angry, shouting at the white-robed man in the distance.

After all, those present aren't foolish; from the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's actions, it's clear the opponent intends to exterminate them all—how could they not be angry?

However, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire directly ignored the questions from those present; after closing the spatial passage, surging milky-white flames violently erupted from his body.

"Demonic Fire Refines the Heavens!"

Accompanied by his fierce shout, the milky-white flames around him instantly swept outward, in the blink of an eye enveloping the entire heavens and earth.

In that instant, the boundless milky-white flames, like a gigantic flame prison, completely enveloped Lin Feng and the dozens of others, like a four-sided prison connecting heaven and earth!

Then four enormous milky-white flame curtains poured down from the horizon, finally connecting to the magma sea below, thereby perfecting the flame prison.

As the prison took shape, a terrifying temperature that even made four-star Dou Sheng slightly change color quickly spread.

Those inside the flame prison could only hurriedly stand back-to-back with their acquaintances, warily eyeing their surroundings.

"The strength of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has far exceeded our expectations; it is now likely a peak five-star Dou Sheng expert, and with its innate strange abilities, even against a six-star Dou Sheng it would not be inferior, and none of us here could surpass it in strength."

Sensing the terrifying power of the surrounding flame prison, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's face darkened involuntarily, and he warned in a grave tone.

"A peak five-star Dou Sheng?!"

Upon hearing that, the vast majority of those present turned pale in shock, staring in horror at the white-robed man.

After all, the gap in strength between each minor rank of Dou Sheng is enormous, especially since the true form of this five-star peak Dou Sheng before us is none other than the third-ranked Pure Lotus Demonic Fire on the Strange Fire list.

Dealing with it would undoubtedly be even more difficult.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amidst everyone's shock, a series of low explosions suddenly rang out from within the crowd inside the flame prison.

This sudden change caused everyone to hastily turn around.

The next moment, they saw figures suddenly explode into clouds of blood mist.

However, as soon as the blood mist appeared, it was instantly evaporated by the surrounding terrifying heat.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"

Seeing those people suddenly explode and die, many in the scene immediately panicked, shrieking in terror.

Although they suspected it might be the work of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, they still had no idea how the opponent had attacked.

And these unknown changes undoubtedly caused the greatest unease.

Regardless of how panicked these people were, more and more figures continued to explode out of thin air.

The low rumble of these bodily explosions made everyone's scalp go numb.

Such a killing method is undoubtedly torture for the remaining survivors. (end of chapter)
