Chapter 805: The True Destruction Fire Body

Of course, only Xiao Yan knew this about himself.

If the Strange Fire had completed its transformation earlier, Xiao Yan wouldn't have had to flee in such disarray—after all, Strange Fire had always been his greatest trump card; without it, Xiao Yan was incomplete.

Although the five Great Perfection Earth Supremes of the Five Spirit Clans, their Five Elements Supreme Forms linked together, possessed terrifying power—so immense it defied imagination, nearly invincible beneath the Heavenly Supreme level—

Yet at this very moment, Xiao Yan's Henggu Chi slashed down, the Strange Fire exploded, and the fusion of Twenty-Four Strange Flames was utterly terrifying—burning through time, burning through the Universe Space, an unstoppable force.

Boom—a sound erupted. Even as the five Ancestors jointly manipulated Universe Space, attempting to tear it open and form black holes to permanently exile Xiao Yan's Strange Fire, the Fused Strange Fire contained Void Swallowing Flame, and in spatial manipulation, Void Swallowing Flame was the king.

Whoosh—the Strange Fire burned and melted; the Five Elements Supreme Forms bled as they dissolved.

"Five Great Perfection Earth Supremes joined forces to pierce dimensions, yet still couldn't escape—this Strange Fire is too powerful! Absolute Strange Fire—this is an Absolute Saint Treasure!" whispered a powerful being deep within the continent.

Only those immensely powerful beings understood the terror of Xiao Yan's Strange Fire—Sacred Artifacts and Divine Techniques reaching the Heavenly Supreme level were always prefixed with "Absolute"; Xiao Yan's Strange Fire had unquestionably reached the Absolute level.

Such a terrifying thing—even the Fire Spirit Clan would fear it; perhaps even the Fire Spirit Clan did not possess such an Absolute Strange Fire! Yet here, at this moment, Xiao Yan possessed it—and he was merely a visitor from a Lower Plane!

How could anyone not be stunned and bewildered!

When the power of the Twenty-Four Strange Flames and the Dou Technique Body merged into his own, one could imagine how terrifying Xiao Yan's strength had become—let alone ordinary Great Perfection Earth Supremes, even the Demon Emperor of the Domain Beyond or a Half-Heavenly Supreme could not match him.

Boom! As everyone was stunned by Xiao Yan's Strange Fire, suddenly, from the burning fissure, an endless torrent of five-colored divine light poured down. This five-colored light swept once, extinguishing all the burning Strange Fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A storm of gales and thunder roared; the five Five Elements Supreme Forms, melted by Xiao Yan's Henggu Chi, instantly reshaped. Even though all five had used Secret Techniques and swallowed Elixirs to restore their Supreme Forms, the five Ancestors' faces remained grim—Xiao Yan's strength had far surpassed everyone's imagination.

"Zhu Guangli, what exactly is this Strange Fire? It's probably no weaker than your clan's Divine Fire," said the Ice Spirit Clan Ancestor, his face dark as he stared at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand.

After activating the Henggu Chi and causing the Strange Fire to explode, it now burned slowly as a tiny flame in Xiao Yan's palm—this fragile-seeming ember was hard to imagine held such terrifying power.

The Fire Spirit Clan possessed one Divine Fire—this was no secret. This Divine Fire was forged by the clan from countless fire seeds and Strange Flames gathered across the Great Thousand World, intended to provide a cultivation ground for clan disciples.

After losing the Five Elements Spirit Soil, the Fire Spirit Clan had lost its greatest foundation; as Spirits of Fire themselves, their cultivation required flame—even the cultivation of their Supreme Forms demanded refinement through Strange Fire.

The Fire Spirit Clan's cultivation could not exist without fire. Without the unique environment of the Fire Realm, they had to create one—so for fifty thousand years, they had gathered fire seeds and Strange Flames from the Great Thousand World, forging one Divine Fire with the same function as the Tian Fen Lian Qi Ta: refining the bodies and Supreme Forms of clan disciples, accelerating cultivation, and even granting sub-flames to them.

The Fire Spirit Clan spent fifty thousand years to forge one Divine Fire of Absolute Saint Treasure rank—yet now, a mere Lower Plane cultivator possessed one too! This was absurd!

Zhu Guangli's gaze burned as he stared at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had admitted he was the Flame Sovereign; naturally, Zhu Guangli knew Xiao Yan had obtained the newly born Strange Fire from the Fire Realm—but that Strange Fire had been far below Heavenly Supreme level, meaning Xiao Yan had possessed this mysterious Strange Fire all along!

"I don't know how this happened. Logically, a Lower Plane could never possess such a terrifying Strange Fire—unless…" Zhu Guangli recalled something, his expression turning grim.

But Zhu Guangli did not continue—some matters could not be concluded without certainty.

"Are you still discussing Strange Fire? If this Flame Sovereign escapes, the Dimensional Embryo of the Five Elements Spirit Soil will be lost!" growled the Thunder Spirit Clan Ancestor.

"Correct. The continent's will has just awakened, purified all Demon Qi—without the Dimensional Embryo, the Five Elements Spirit Soil will need at least ten thousand years to recover and give birth to a second Dimensional Embryo!"

"We must kill him at all costs, until our clan's Heavenly Supreme arrives."

A second Dimensional Embryo could naturally form—just as the supercontinent's dimensional energy baptism occurred periodically—but the Dimensional Embryo was far rarer and more precious than those faint energy washes, requiring ten thousand years of gestation to be born.

Generally, a supercontinent would never use its Dimensional Embryo; it would leave it on the continent to enrich the land, making Heavenly Energy denser, eventually evolving into a supercontinent—even a top-tier Shen Shou Continent.

Now, the Domain Beyond's Demon Eye had absorbed the Dimensional Embryo, but after purification, it became the Spiritual Pupil, stolen by Xiao Yixian.

Yet the Five Spirit Clans had not yet realized—the initiative was no longer theirs.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of burning flames rose—one after another, the power of Strange Flames ignited. Boom! A torrent of Strange Fire energy surged toward him; in that instant, all Strange Flames simultaneously empowered Xiao Yan.

In that instant, Xiao Yan blazed brilliantly; behind him appeared an apparition—a Fire God manifested, his body forged from flame, radiant and dazzling. Each strand of Strange Fire's power, each wisp of aura, seemed capable of becoming eternal.

Dou Emperor's Body—this was the power of the Dou Qi Continent's Dou Emperor—but this time, something was different: Xiao Yan's body did not grow enormous.

"Is this the Heavenly Supreme's Heavenly Spirit Body?!"

"Impossible! Even a Half-Heavenly Supreme cannot manifest the Heavenly Spirit Body—that's a power exclusive to Heavenly Supremes!"

At this moment, countless Earth Supremes turned pale with fear—there were many Half-Heavenly Supremes, but no one had ever manifested a Spirit Body before reaching Heavenly Supreme!

Because a Heavenly Supreme's physical body could instantly transform into the purest Spirit Body, granting extraordinary combat power, merging with the surrounding Heaven and Earth, possessing near-limitless spiritual energy—each drop capable of becoming rivers and seas, heavy as mountains.

They also possessed unique Spiritual Vein Divine Techniques—the Heavenly Spirit Body was the foundation of a Heavenly Supreme's complete fusion with Heaven and Earth, their primary cultivation path. A Heavenly Supreme's power fundamentally drew upon Heavenly Spiritual Energy to empower themselves; with sufficient cultivation, they could achieve Human-Method Unity—merging flesh and Supreme Form.

Thus, an Earth Supreme could never achieve this—if they could, they wouldn't be an Earth Supreme—they'd be a Heavenly Supreme!

Yet here, before their eyes, was a miracle: Xiao Yan's body, like a Flame Spirit Body, merged with Heaven and Earth as sacred flame—this was unmistakably the hallmark of the Heavenly Spirit Body!

"It's the Strange Fire! That Heavenly Supreme-level Strange Fire has granted him a Strange Fire Body resembling the Heavenly Spirit Body!" Zhu Guangli realized.

Xiao Yan was not a Heavenly Supreme, but his Fused Strange Fire was Heavenly Supreme-level. This was not a Heavenly Spirit Body—it was Xiao Yan's own Destruction Fire Body. Yet after merging with the Dou Emperor's Body, and with the Strange Fire reaching Heavenly Supreme level, it had formed a Destruction Fire Body resembling the Heavenly Spirit Body.

"Human and Fire United—Destruction Fire Body!"

As Xiao Yan's hand seals solidified, the tiny flame lotus within his pupils spun wildly—a breath of destruction so overwhelming it drained all color from every face, like a storm erupting from his body!

In that instant, every strand of Strange Fire power fused with every cell in Xiao Yan's body. Ding! The Burn Scripture reached its absolute limit.

Boom! As the destructive aura erupted from Xiao Yan's body, his flesh suddenly ignited—Twenty-Four Flames filled every corner: skin, muscle, bone, cells—every part of Xiao Yan's body was now engulfed in flame.

Chiiii! The Fused Strange Fire blazed furiously; as the flames spread wildly, Xiao Yan's body gradually became translucent and crystalline—as if merging with the Universe, with the World, achieving the state of Heaven-Man Unity!

Even beneath his black robe, through the dazzling flames, one could see his internal organs—each organ, each inch of his skin, now coated with a layer of Strange Fire Crystal Layer.

Even Xiao Yan's Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor and Ancient Phoenix Wings had transformed into Strange Fire Crystal Armor and Strange Fire Wings.

Destruction Fire Body—this was the power Xiao Yan had mastered since his Dou Saint stage.

Destruction Fire Body was essentially an upgraded version of the Heaven-Fire Three Mystical Changes—Strange Fire refined through special Spiritual Veins had now been elevated to refine every cell in his body.

But Xiao Yan had never had the chance to use it—reason was simple: with his power on the Dou Qi Continent, few were worthy of forcing him to unleash it.

Destruction Fire Body demanded near-perfect, near-limitless control over Strange Fire. Now, with his Dou Technique Body, his Dou Techniques, Secret Techniques, and Dou Qi had all been elevated a tier, and his Soul Power had grown immensely.

Destruction Fire Body had even evolved into a Heavenly Spirit Body of the Great Thousand World!

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly—this was his ultimate technique. Casting it consumed vast amounts of Dou Qi and Soul Force, even draining Strange Fire energy—it was a triple-force explosion, unsustainable.

Now, Xiao Yan had no intention of dragging this out—he would end it swiftly!

"Hellfire Palm!"

In that instant, Xiao Yan roared inwardly, changed his hand seals, spread his five fingers, leapt high, and slammed his palm down upon the five Ancestors of the Five Spirit Clans!

Boom! In that moment, Xiao Yan's palm instantly expanded, merging with Heaven and Earth—a colossal palm of Strange Fire appeared, spewing endless flames—each strand of flame carried death!

"Damn it!"

"What kind of monster is this Flame Sovereign—how can he manifest the Heavenly Spirit Body?!"

The people beneath the ice cursed inwardly. They had originally thought Xiao Yan's Henggu Chi was his ultimate move, and that they just needed to stall until his Secret Technique faded. But the very next second, Xiao Yan slapped them in the face by unleashing the Heavenly Sovereign Spirit Body!

Every gesture carried the might of Heaven and Earth — it was simply impossible to take head-on!

The five simultaneously formed hand seals. On the five Ancestors' Supreme Dharma Bodies, specks of starlight appeared. Between those stars, starlight seemed to emanate. The five Five-Element Supreme Dharma Bodies formed lines of star-light, linking to one another, and finally, on the surface of his body, a starry-sky light diagram took shape.

"Five-Element Star Sky Diagram!"

Boom! Boom!

Xiao Yan's Yellow Springs Fire Palm slammed down heavily, showing no mercy whatsoever. Xiao Yan's Destruction Fire Body radiated brilliant light; the Different Flame melted all things in the universe, countless meteorites spontaneously combusted and melted, and the enormous fire palm blasted straight toward the five. This time, Xiao Yan was determined to thoroughly defeat these five chattering old men.

Thud thud!

The Sky trembled. The five Five-Element Supreme Dharma Bodies transformed into the power of the five elements, and the star diagram began to operate, actually turning into a shield resembling the Eight Trigrams diagram to protect their bodies. Xiao Yan's Yellow Springs Fire Palm, imbued with destructive force, struck it, but only caused the five-star sky diagram to ripple violently.

"What terrifying defense." In the distance, Xiao Yan stood in mid-air. He watched this scene, then merely smiled faintly and said: "But Different Flame isn't so easy to defend against."

Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand and clenched it toward the distant Space.

In an instant, a wisp of grey Different Flame slowly ignited in the palm of that enormous fire palm — this was precisely the brand-new Different Flame Xiao Yan had just obtained. Xiao Yan named it Star Universe Grey Flame, because this Different Flame was born from absorbing the power of the universe.

With a single thought in his heart, a terrifying Soul Power instantly swept across the Five-Element Star Sky Diagram, and he said: "The five elements — fire, ice, wood, thunder, wind. The power of this Divine Technique isn't all that complicated."

With a hum, the Star Universe Grey Flame began to transform. Suddenly, countless microscopic particles in the universe invisible to the naked eye were continuously drawn in by the Gravity Pull of the Star Universe Grey Flame, just like a magnet attracting iron filings — only those with extremely high Soul Power could perceive it.

"Different Flame Dou Technique: Antimatter Annihilation."
