Chapter 802: Someone Timed It Perfectly (Final Three Days—Requesting Moon Tickets!)

"Little thief, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, we will cut you down and erase you from the Great Thousand World. No one in this world can protect you!" The Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder was nearly enraged to madness—they had barely purified the Demonic Fetus at great cost, even allowing Cao Divine Son and others to snatch treasures and escape, only to have their home stolen at the last moment—who could bear such fury?

Although the Five Elements Spirit Soil was a supercontinent of immense expanse, where even a rank-one Supreme could not traverse it in a year at full speed, with the cultivation realm of a fully perfected Earth Supreme, Xiao Yan and the others quickly left the boundaries of the Five Elements Spirit Soil.

As Xiao Yan and the five fully perfected Earth Supreme ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans fled and pursued each other, the commotion was immense; they crossed multiple Universe Space domains, crashed recklessly through the Void, and even leapt across several small continents like Ning Tian Continent, drawing widespread attention in a short time.

Suddenly, many powerful sects surrounding the Five Elements Spirit Soil were drawn to this chase; numerous great figures, major sects, and factions took notice of this pursuit.

"Those are the five Great Elders of the Five Spirit Clans!!?"

"Who are they chasing?"

"That looks like a Strange Flame—the man in the black robe is only an upper-rank Earth Supreme!"

Seeing Mao Wu transform into a Black Flame Dragon and flee, constantly piercing through Space, many were awed and said: "The one controlling the Strange Flame is formidable—his upper-rank Earth Supreme cultivation realm allowed him to escape from five fully perfected Earth Supremes."

"Hmm, who is this man in black? Why did he anger the Five Spirit Clans? Did he steal the Fire Spirit Clan's Strange Flame?" A divine beast as massive as a meteor asked in confusion.

Watching the Five Spirit Clan ancestral elders relentlessly pursuing him, Xiao Yan's gaze subtly shifted; Xiao Yixian beside him met his eyes and offered a calm smile: "Even if the Great Thousand World hunts you, I will stand by your side."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan gripped Xiao Yixian's jade hand tighter, his eyes gradually sharpening. Since arriving in the Great Thousand World, many things offered no choice!

Just as Xiao Yan prepared to unleash the Asura Soul-Cutting Technique, drawing upon the power of the Domain Beyond, a voice echoed from within his body.

Someone timed it perfectly—but it wasn't Xiao Yan.

"You seem to need my power right now?"

!!!!!!

At that moment, Xiao Yan's eyes sharply contracted, then his heart surged with wild joy—he recognized that voice!

Void Swallowing Flame!

"Void Swallowing Flame!? You've awakened!!" Xiao Yan mentally exclaimed.

Xiao Yan had already obtained a new Strange Flame and fully refined and devoured all Strange Flame energy within the Flame Space, elevating his cultivation to upper-rank Earth Supreme. During the refining process, he had used the Burning Scripture to fuse the new Strange Flame with Emperor Flame.

Yet after fusing into a new Strange Flame, Emperor Flame—or Void Swallowing Flame—and the other twenty-two Strange Flames had not awakened, still transforming their spiritual energy.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Void Swallowing Flame had awakened!

In Xiao Yan's Supreme Sea, a boy resembling a chibi figure stood with hands in his pockets, his expression haughty: "Not just me."

BOOM BOOM BOOM!! Instantly, a sensation Xiao Yan knew all too well surged from his Supreme Sea—twenty-two Strange Flames merged into a sea of flames, instantly filling Xiao Yan's Supreme Sea.

Only now did Xiao Yan realize: the sea of Strange Flames inside the Tu She Gu Di Statue had actually been his Supreme Sea!

If inheriting Tu She Gu Di's legacy granted an Earth Supreme's Supreme Sea, then now, thinking back, that statue resembled a Supreme Body! The sea of Strange Flames was the Supreme Sea!

The legacy left by Tu She Gu Di was clearly the Great Thousand World's cultivation system!

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly halted his flight, standing with Xiao Yixian on a meteor drifting in Universe Space. He looked at the five fully perfected Earth Supremes who had instantly surrounded them, smiled calmly, and paid them no mind.

"Huh? Why have the two black-robed figures stopped?"

"Perhaps they've given up fleeing?" said an elder: "Though the five fully perfected Earth Supremes surely possess far greater spiritual energy than an upper-rank Earth Supreme and will eventually catch him, that black-robed man doesn't look like he'll surrender."

The old monster spoke truly—how could Xiao Yan possibly surrender?

The five ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans stood in the heavens, forming a pentagon, their divine aura crushing all around them; the energy radiating from their five bodies seemed capable of crushing the entire heavens into ruin, as if nothing could stand before five fully perfected Earth Supremes.

Unless a Heaven Supreme descended, stopping these five fully perfected Earth Supreme ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans was pure fantasy.

"Little thief, hand over what you stole and return with us—you may yet be spared." The Fire Spirit Clan's ancestral elder, Zhu Guangli, stood in Space, speaking slowly.

Though his voice was not loud, to every ear it rang like a great bell, shaking the soul and instilling dread.

Clearly, the Fire Spirit Clan's ancestral elder sought not only the Spiritual Pupil but also Xiao Yan's Strange Flames.

"Little thief?" Xiao Yan straightened, hands behind his back, speaking calmly: "I have nothing to give you. My demand is simple: leave at once. What I've taken is mine."

"In cultivation, seizing opportunity is heaven's gift—there is no such thing as ownership."

Xiao Yan's words were aggressive, yet no one found them inappropriate; all felt such words were utterly natural.

If heavenly opportunities were assigned by ownership, what would cultivators even cultivate? Just wait for distribution.

As soon as Xiao Yan spoke, all held their breath—they knew he had now irrevocably angered the Five Spirit Clans. Though none knew what exactly the Five Spirit Clans demanded from him, all were cultivators who understood the right to seize opportunity.

Seize an opportunity, and if it's taken back, you simply lack the skill.

"It seems you two have no choice but to refuse." The Thunder Spirit Clan's Great Elder's gaze burned fiercely; for the Thunder Spirit Clan, Wood Spirit Tribe, and Wind Spirit Clan—lacking a Heaven Supreme—Xiao Yan's Spiritual Pupil, infused with complete dimensional power, was especially vital. These three clans urgently needed a Heaven Supreme.

"Then it seems negotiations are over." Xiao Yan shrugged.

Xiao Yan's words sent a tremor through many distant cultivators; some perked up. Though no one knew his background, and though they saw his powerful Strange Flames, Xiao Yan was still only an upper-rank Earth Supreme—yet he dared stand against five fully perfected Earth Supremes!

He must have a hidden trump card!

"Good! Bold! Let's see what trump card you have!" The Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder laughed loudly.

As he spoke, the Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder stomped his foot and charged toward Xiao Yan, aiming to seize him first.

Seeing the Wind Spirit Clan's elder strike first, the other four fully perfected Earth Supremes did not join him; instead, they sealed off all directions, preventing Xiao Yan's escape and letting the Wind Spirit Clan test his hidden strength.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!! As the Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder stomped upon Universe Space, the entire cosmos trembled. Under the power of a fully perfected Earth Supreme, not only was Xiao Yan nearby, but even distant continents resembled tiny boats in a storm, ready to capsize at any moment!

This was the power of a fully perfected Earth Supreme—one stomp could shake Universe Space, capable of destroying a small continent!

Under such crushing force, the meteor beneath Xiao Yan's feet seemed ready to shatter at any instant.

"Semi-World-Class Divine Technique: Great Wind Spirit Technique!" The Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder roared, instantly surging toward Xiao Yan. His speed was too fast—no one could clearly see him, only a fleeting blue shadow.

At that moment, the Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder closed his five fingers into a blade, forming a sword-like spear aimed at Xiao Yan's neck, condensing a thread of invisible wind—gentle, delicate, seemingly harmless.

Yet distant observers all experienced a hallucination: a soft *puff*, as if their own heads had been severed, blood spurting like fountains!

Merely sensing that wind, one knew the terrifying power of this World-Class Technique—it could kill from ten thousand miles away. That gentle breeze was razor-sharp, capable of severing anything.

Facing the Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder's Semi-World-Class Divine Technique, Xiao Yan's gaze subtly changed.

At that moment, Xiao Yan's Burning Scripture instantly activated—not twenty-two, not twenty-three, but twenty-four Strange Flames fused instantly into a brand-new Strange Flame!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!! Suddenly, the entire Universe Space cracked open; countless cosmic storms erupted above Xiao Yan—BOOM BOOM BOOM! As if a cosmic explosion, the entire heavens manifested an omen!

The previously cold Universe now seemed to gain heat—right now, at this moment—the phenomenon behind Xiao Yan was the image of a star exploding.

If the Wind Spirit Clan's ancestral elder's Semi-World-Class Divine Technique made observers feel their heads had been severed, Xiao Yan's omen made them feel as if they would melt under the scorching heat of a star's detonation!

"This is a cosmic phenomenon!!"

"Cosmic phenomenon—the birth of a Heavenly Sovereign! Could a new Heavenly Supreme be emerging?! Where did this Heavenly Supreme come from?!"

"No, it isn't necessarily a Heavenly Supreme—any new Absolute Divine Technique or Absolute Saint Treasure could trigger a cosmic phenomenon!"

"It's that black-robed man!!"

Seeing this phenomenon, all were stunned—even the Five Spirit Clans' Great Completion Earth Supremes could not help but stare in awe, for none had ever witnessed such a sight before; all were left spellbound.

Whoosh!! In the next instant, a Sovereign Seal floated above Xiao Yan's palm; only when they looked closely did they realize it was a special fire seal, forged from the fusion of Strange Flames, its power far surpassing the Flame Emperor Seal!

"Spirit Array?!"

This was no ordinary Flame Emperor Seal—it had been improved by Xun Er, infused with a Spirit Array! The tiny seal was intricately woven, exquisitely crafted, draining Xun Er's vast mental energy to unleash far more terrifying power from Xiao Yan's Flame Emperor Seal.

Combined with the Spirit Arrays of the Great Thousand World, its power had doubled, with not a single ounce of energy wasted—all condensed into one point!

Long ago, when Xiao Yan journeyed to the Ancient Realm and faced Gu Qingyang in their final battle, he had awakened the Flame Emperor Seal—and later successfully proposed to Xun Er. This Flame Emperor Seal was a testament to their love!

Now, after the Strange Flames awoke and he could wield them all, he was truly Xiao Yan!

"Absolute Divine Technique—Flame Emperor Ancient Seal!!"

Feeling the terrifying might of this Absolute Divine Technique, even the Fire Spirit Clan's Ancestor felt his scalp tingle; the other four, ignoring their numerical advantage, instantly appeared before the Wind Spirit Clan's Ancestor, joining hands to form a defense using their Supreme Manifestations.

None of them could withstand this move alone!!

"Absolute Divine Technique—Five Spirit Spiritual Shield!"

Each stood at a corner, their five distinct Supreme Manifestations uniting to form a Five Element Spiritual Shield. Yet Xiao Yan did not halt—he roared, slamming the Flame Emperor Ancient Seal down upon the five with crushing force!

Boom!!! A deafening explosion erupted; the entire universe blazed brilliantly, and in an instant, an unimaginably terrifying power shattered forth!

As the thunderous blast ripped open, endless light burst forth instantly; a mighty, unmatched energy surged from Xiao Yan's palm, flooding the entire universe!

A five-colored divine light, comparable to the ancient Five-Star Demon-Slaying Spirit Array, surged forth—a terrifying beam of Strange Flame energy pierced deep into the cosmos!

The terrifying radiance blinded everyone.

"Heavens, this attack came from a High-Level Earth Supreme?!"

"Absolute Divine Technique—this must be an Absolute Divine Technique! How could a High-Level Earth Supreme unleash such a terrifying technique?! Who is he?!"

Seeing this, many trembled in fear—Xiao Yan's strike was more terrifying than even a typical Great Completion Earth Supreme's, capable of killing weaker Great Completion Earth Supremes.

Yet despite this, Xiao Yan was still only a High-Level Earth Supreme; the Strange Flame beam of the Flame Emperor Ancient Seal slowly faded, unable to pierce the defense formed by five Great Completion Earth Supremes working in unison. Still, the five no longer underestimated him—if any one of them had faced that strike alone, they would have suffered grievously.

"Join forces—this black-robed man is strange." Finally, Zhu Guangli shouted, for some reason, a sense of dread stirred within him.

The other four nodded in agreement, no longer treating Xiao Yan as an ordinary High-Level Earth Supreme. Instantly, they formed a formation; the Five Spirit Clans had long dwelled on the same continent, and their spiritual energies naturally harmonized.

Hummm! In an instant, their combined spiritual energies spontaneously forged an Absolute Great Array—Five Elements swirling, the Milky Way spanning across.
