Chapter 256: 256. The Fall of a Powerhouse, Vanishing into Smoke and Clouds!

256. Chapter 256: The Fall of a Powerhouse, Vanishing into Smoke and Clouds!

"Freeze!"

Watching the beam of light strike, the phantom of Jinglian Yaosheng slowly raised a finger and tapped it lightly.

The beam of light stopped its advance just like that.

"As expected, Brother Gu Fei's judgment was flawless!"

Seeing this scene, Zi Yan finally let out a sigh of relief, and the vast energy in her palm dissipated.

"The Refining Heaven Ancient Array was created by me; when it comes to the level of insight into it, you are inferior to me!"

A faint smile rose on the face of the Jinglian Yaosheng phantom as he looked toward the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, whose expression in the sky was extremely ugly, and said softly.

"Bastard!"

"Do you think you are still the Jinglian Yaosheng of the past?"

Seeing this, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was furious.

But very quickly.

He discovered that his control over this great array was actually gradually disappearing.

"Jinglian Yaosheng, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Demon Fire Extinguishing the World!"

The body of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame expanded rapidly, and finally, with a bang, it turned into a monstrous flame that filled the heavens and earth.

"Ah!"

A powerhouse at the Half-Saint level let out a shrill scream.

The Dou Qi within his body was burning at this moment, and even his meridians, flesh, bones, and even his soul were being incinerated.

The others around saw this scene, and their hands and feet turned cold.

All the energy of heaven and earth here had been evaporated by the high temperature of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame; if they continued to stay, they would be unable to replenish the Dou Qi consumed within their bodies.

In the end, there was only one fate awaiting them: being burned alive.

"Hiss!"

Just as everyone was trembling in their hearts, the Jinglian Yaosheng phantom suddenly flickered his sleeves.

The two massive arrays, each tens of thousands of feet large, between heaven and earth suddenly released a burst of light.

The light twisted in mid-air and finally turned into a Space Channel.

"Hurry and leave; if the Demon Fire explodes completely, none of you will survive..."

"Run!"

Seeing the Space Channel appear.

The vast majority of people were running for their lives, not daring to delay for even a second.

"Elder Gu Nanhai, Brother Gu Fei will be fine, let us leave here first too!"

Zi Yan withdrew her gaze and finally looked at Gu Nanhai and Xun Er, who had not yet left, and said.

"Hmm!"

Gu Nanhai had not the slightest doubt about Zi Yan's words at this moment; after all, he knew the relationship between Zi Yan and Gu Fei, and if Gu Fei were in danger, Zi Yan would absolutely not leave.

"Brother Gu Fei, you must be safe..."

Xun Er looked back almost every step of the way, her heart filled with immense worry for Gu Fei.

But very quickly, she was forcibly pulled into the Space Channel by Gu Nanhai and left.

Zi Yan was also worried about Gu Fei, but she trusted Gu Fei's arrangements more, knowing that if she stayed here, she would likely only add to his troubles.

Soon, this vast Demon Fire Space had no one left in it, except for Gu Fei.

Every region of the vast space was filled with the milky-white Demon Fire.

An indescribable, terrifying high temperature filled the space; as it was now, even a Dou Sheng powerhouse who had reached the four-star or even five-star level could not stay for long, because the temperature here could even burn Dou Qi.

At the center of the sea of fire in the space, a lotus of fire was slowly rotating.

Not far below the fire lotus, Gu Fei still stood with his hands behind his back, and outside his body, the Jinglian Yaosheng phantom radiated an aura of endless majesty.

"When we first met, you were as pure as an infant, and I gave you intelligence, but your development has gone in the opposite direction of what I intended!"

Looking at the demonic fire lotus in the sky, the Jinglian Yaosheng phantom sighed softly.

"Jinglian Yaosheng, how I grow is my own business; you are overstepping your bounds!" the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame roared.

"I just do not want you to eventually fall into self-destruction; it was I who made you into this appearance, so in the end, let me be the one to end it!" The Jinglian Yaosheng phantom stared at the demonic lotus and changed his hand seals, and the two great arrays that shrouded the heavens and earth suddenly swept in from above and below.

A massive curtain of fire shot out from the center of the arrays, then formed a square fire-pillar prison as fast as lightning, locking the demonic lotus inside.

"The intelligence and memories I bestowed upon you, I will take back; in the future, you will once again possess the purity you had when I first discovered you!"

"Jinglian Yaosheng, you heartless bastard, I will not let you have your way!"

The demonic lotus began to rotate at high speed.

Clearly, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was resisting.

He was not reconciled to failing just like this.

"Thousands of years of sealing have instead made your hatred even deeper; since that is the case..."

The Jinglian Yaosheng phantom looked at the frantically struggling Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and let out a soft sigh.

The massive arrays between heaven and earth actually began to collapse from the outside in, but as the outer perimeter of the arrays collapsed, the fire pillars locking the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame became increasingly solid.

"Refining Heaven Ancient Array, Strip!"

The illusory palm of Jinglian Yaosheng flicked lightly, and within the curtain of fire, dense fire threads shot out violently.

Following this, wisps of blood-colored mist were slowly forced out of the main body of the demonic lotus.

"Ah!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame let out a shrill, miserable scream.

At this moment, no matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free from this stripping away.

"Your memories were bestowed by me; now, let me take them away as well!"

"Bullshit! Without memories, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame of the future will have no consciousness. How is this action of yours any different from killing me?"

Feeling the gradual blankness in its mind, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame also began to feel some terror; once its memories and intelligence were completely extracted, it would truly be "dead."

"Your nature is violent and cruel, and now you have even obtained my inheritance. If I let you break through the Seal, it will surely be a great catastrophe. This disaster was caused by me, so naturally, it must be ended by me."

The phantom transformed from Jinglian Yaosheng shook its head, and immediately, it exerted force once more to refine it.

"Ah!"

Billowing waves of dense blood mist surged rapidly from within the Demon Lotus, and finally, they quickly formed a blood-colored figure above the Demon Lotus.

Forced out of its original body, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame hurriedly dived downward, wanting to burrow back inside.

However, Jinglian Yaosheng did not give it the chance.

He clenched his palm, and the fire curtain rapidly shrank, finally transforming into a fire prison.

"Master, Master, spare me this one time; I will definitely change in the future!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was finally afraid, and it immediately knelt down in a hurry, begging Jinglian Yaosheng for mercy.

Watching the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame that kept begging for mercy, the phantom transformed from Jinglian Yaosheng also sighed softly, flicked its sleeve, and the phantom emerged from Gu Fei's body, then floated into the fire prison and landed in front of the Demon Fire.

"Sigh... a generation of experts, in the end, has also met such an end..."

At this moment, Gu Fei was finally able to regain control of his own body.

Before, his consciousness had been able to clearly know what was happening outside.

Looking at the phantom of the Demon Saint within the fire curtain, Gu Fei could not help but show a look of deep emotion on his face.

"Little Demon, back then you backlashed against me, but in the end, I do not resent you!"

"I have had no disciples or children in my life; from beginning to end, you have always been the person closest to me!"

Jinglian Yaosheng gently stroked the head of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with his palm.

On that somewhat illusory face, a gentle smile also appeared.

"But I hate you!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame suddenly raised its head, its blood-red eyes staring at Jinglian Yaosheng, and wisps of blood mist quickly wrapped around the Demon Saint's phantom.

"This appearance is just like that day!"

Facing the erosion of the Demon Fire, a faint sorrow surged onto the Demon Saint's face.

"Together, let us vanish from between heaven and earth forever."

Accompanied by this soft voice from Jinglian Yaosheng, the massive fire array suddenly collapsed entirely.
