Chapter 806

Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and the Starry Gray Flame hummed, suddenly transforming into an array pattern identical to the Five Elements Star Map, appearing in the palm of the Fire Palm—except that the Five Elements power within this star map was precisely the opposite of the Spirit Power attributes of the Five Spirit Clans' ancestral elders!

This is the power of an Emperor-grade Strange Flame: it can attract all matter in the Universe Space, not just dark matter, but also antimatter from the cosmos.

Antimatter is the opposite state of normal matter. When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, triggering an explosion that releases tremendous energy.

The Great Thousand World contains countless forms of power; Spiritual Energy itself has different attributes. Depending on different Spirit Seals, one can absorb different Spiritual Energy and convert it into Spirit Power—this is the essence of Cultivation.

Starry Gray Flame was born in the endless Space, unlike Void Swallowing Flame; it does not consume matter—it attracts all matter in the Universe and restructures it, making it an exceptionally unique Strange Flame!

The gravitational pull Xiao Yan initially used was merely one aspect of its universal gravity; Starry Gray Flame is the Flame of the Starry Cosmos, possessing the power of the Universe!

Of course, to unleash Starry Gray Flame's full potential, pouring in Spirit Power is insufficient—it only raises the Infernal Heat. To activate Starry Gray Flame's special power, one must use Xiao Yan's own created Dou Technique!

Xiao Yan could perceive the true nature of his opponent's power through Soul Force, allowing him to employ the Strange Flame Dou Technique!

He spoke slowly, but all of this occurred in an instant. Suddenly, gray flames surged from the Huangquan Fire Palm, and in the next moment, countless particles of Spirit Power opposite to the Five Elemental Spirit Power appeared within the gray flames.

With a hum, the gray flames, like glue, fused seamlessly with the Five Elements Star Map—as perfectly aligned as opposing gears.

But by the time the five ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

At the instant matter and antimatter touched, blinding light erupted, dazzlingly brilliant—a massive annihilation explosion detonated through the Universe. A series of shattering sounds rang out; in the blink of an eye, the layered defenses formed by the quasi-Absolute Saint Treasures wielded by the Ancestral Elders of Wind, Thunder, and Wood collapsed entirely, reduced to ash.

Even the defenses spontaneously activated by the Absolute Saint Treasures held by Bing Xia and Zhu Guangli shattered instantly under the annihilation explosion—the treasures themselves cracked.

"So powerful!"

"What technique is this? Why did the defenses of the Five Spirit Clans' elders explode?"

Countless cultivators, witnessing the antimatter annihilation, were struck with horror, their faces pale. They could not comprehend what had just happened—the explosion was not merely Xiao Yan's Strange Flame, but the Five Elements Star Map had also suddenly gone out of control and exploded!

They could not imagine that their own defensive Divine Techniques had become the very source of their own destruction! What on earth was going on!

Yet, before the antimatter annihilation explosion had fully erupted, the blinding light vanished—time itself seemed halted. The terrifying annihilation explosion was frozen in place.

Not only the explosion, but even the light and Universe Space were paused at this moment—molecules ceased motion, and the temperature of the entire Universe plummeted abruptly.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's gaze locked onto the center of the explosion. Before the five ancestral elders of the Five Spirit Clans, a figure had suddenly appeared at the heart of the explosion.

He was an old man draped in a blue robe, his face a deep azure. With every gesture, a terrifying chill radiated from him, causing the surrounding Space to continuously freeze—even Spiritual Energy that gathered near him turned into multicolored crystalline shards due to that dreadful cold.

This terrifying ice power could freeze even explosions, time, and all things in the Universe.

Without needing anyone to introduce him, Xiao Yan already guessed who this old man was.

"Ancestor!" Behind him, Bing Xia—whose body was shattered and severely wounded—immediately knelt down, ignoring his injuries, and bowed deeply. The other four, though not kneeling, also bowed with their wounded bodies, thanking him for saving their lives.

Bing Jiuhan, the sole Heaven Supreme of the Ice Spirit Clan, was the strongest among them, a genuine Heaven Supreme with a formidable reputation throughout the Great Thousand World, and the Ice Spirit Clan's greatest pillar and foundation.

Bing Jiuhan, known as the Ice Spirit Ancestor.

"Strange Flame. Bing Xia told me the culprit was Cao Shenzi of the Heavenly Saint Sect, allied with other Sects' Earth Supreme cultivators wielding Supreme Treasures to seize the Secret Treasure of the Five Elements Spirit Soil and steal the Planetary Embryo—but now it seems this is not the case." As all were stunned by the frozen annihilation explosion, a profound voice rang out.

Crack, crack, crack—shattering sounds echoed as the annihilation explosion created by Starry Gray Flame shattered like ice, the flames and light frozen solid, floating through the Universe like broken ice chunks.

"Heaven Supreme!!"

"It's him! He's Bing Jiuhan of the Ice Spirit Clan!" Others also recognized Bing Jiuhan.

"Such a Flame Sovereign Spirit Body—I cannot think of anyone else in the world capable of manifesting it except that old man of the Fire Spirit Clan." Bing Jiuhan's gaze, like a cold blade, fixed on Xiao Yan far away; with his insight, he instantly saw that Xiao Yan's Sovereign Spirit Body was powered by a Strange Flame.

"And this Supreme Body…" Bing Jiuhan's aged eyes gazed upward toward the cosmos, where the Dou Body, like a god, was hidden within the Universe. He frowned and said: "It allows the Lower Plane cultivation system to persist in the Great Thousand World and still convert Spiritual Energy. This is no ordinary Supreme Body—and at your age, you could not have created it."

A Heaven Supreme is a Heaven Supreme. Even with Soul Force shielding and wearing the Soul Robe, Xiao Yan's secrets were instantly exposed.

"Everything is possible." Since he was seen through, Xiao Yan stopped pretending. He grabbed the edge of his Hood and slowly pulled it down, revealing a young, smiling face.

Bing Jiuhan's gaze settled on Xiao Yan, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He smiled and said: "In my clan's Ancient Texts, I once read a record: there was once a Lower Plane where mighty cultivators emerged, creating countless miracles in that chaotic age."

"Among them was a peerless powerhouse who possessed an unyielding Dou Heart, unbroken by Heaven, and created a unique Supreme Body that transformed Spiritual Energy—even Demon Qi—into a power called Dou Qi." Bing Jiuhan spoke slowly.

The Ice Spirit Clan is one of the Five Spirit Clans—immensely ancient, older than any recorded origin, but it is certain they existed before the Domain Beyond's demonic invasion.

Other Heaven Supreme Factions may not know the lost Original Bodies, but they would know of them.

Yet knowing them is useless, for these five lost Original Bodies are all Lower Plane powers—native cultivators of the Great Thousand World cannot cultivate them.

Facing this blue-robed elder, even the five Earth Supreme elders of the Five Spirit Clans, who had been shattered and gravely wounded by Xiao Yan, felt dread in their hearts—after all, this was a Heaven Supreme!

A Heaven Supreme could obliterate an Earth Supreme with a wave of his hand; a single drop of his blood could destroy a Lower Plane. Before a Heaven Supreme, all were mere ants—just as the gap between a Dou Saint and a Dou Emperor is one where a single glance can annihilate.

Yet, facing Bing Jiuhan, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, still able to smile and chat.

"You are peculiar. Hand over the Planetary Embryo, then come with me to the Ice Spirit Clan. I have questions for you." Bing Jiuhan looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze deep. "I will not kill you, but your Supreme Body must be destroyed—it does not belong in the Great Thousand World."

Bing Jiuhan was correct. Dou Qi, unlike Demon Qi, does not pollute Spiritual Energy or the Great Thousand World—but the Dou Qi generated by the Dou Body is on the same level as Spirit Power and cannot be forcibly converted by Spiritual Energy.

This means Xiao Yan cultivates an entirely separate system of cultivation, equal to Spirit Power, which threatens the very foundation of the Great Thousand World!

It is like two Sects: if one is large and the other small, the small one will submit to the large one, becoming its subordinate Sect—the Lower Plane.

But if two Sects are equally powerful, even without conflicting interests, they cannot merge—and each will always suspect the other of hidden threats.

One mountain cannot hold two tigers.

Bing Jiuhan's gaze passed over Xiao Yan and settled on Xiao Yixian, who was seated cross-legged on a meteorite, refining the Other Shore Flower. "Girl, you as well."

Xiao Yixian slowly opened her eyes and looked at Bing Jiuhan—but said nothing, ignoring him entirely.

Xiao Yixian's Eternal Calamity Poison Body is even more terrifying than the Dou Body; it can consume any poison and convert it into power for the Eternal Calamity Poison Body. This unique power is even more monstrous than the Dou Body—anything poisonous can be devoured and transformed.

If Xiao Yixian's Eternal Calamity Poison Body reaches its peak and evolves into a Sovereign Spirit Body, it would be terrifying indeed—her poison could rival Demon Qi, capable of poisoning the entire Universe!

"Old man, don't rely on your age. I may not be able to defeat you now, but to capture me? That's pure fantasy." Xiao Yan smiled faintly. "Fortunately, you're only a Spirit-level Heaven Supreme—if you were Xianpin Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun, that would be troublesome."

Bing Jiuhan's eyes instantly blazed with light. As his eyes flared, the Universe collapsed, divine beasts and Supreme beings turned to ash. He did not unleash a titanic aura or the invincible might of a Heaven Supreme—but when his eyes glowed, everyone trembled; merely a glance could suppress an Earth Supreme!

Just as Bing Jiuhan sought to see through Xiao Yan's remaining cards to resist a Heaven Supreme, a cat's meow suddenly echoed from within Xiao Yan's body.

"Cat?"

"Where did that cat's meow come from?"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's Destruction Fire Body's radiance instantly retracted. Every strand of Strange Flame energy within his cells was sucked away, surging into his Supreme Sea.

In that boundless sea of Strange Flames, a black cat, a Fire Baby, and a chibi figure stood together, forming a triangle, hands pushed forward. Infinite Strange Flames, under the control of the three Spirit Flames, coalesced into a dazzlingly beautiful Fire Lotus.

Finally, even Mao Wu, Void Swallowing Flame, and Xiao Yi transformed into their primordial essence and flowed into the Fire Lotus. Black Flame flickered—and a exquisitely perfect Strange Flame Fire Lotus emerged from his Supreme Sea, floating into Xiao Yan's palm.

"This is!"

At the moment the Fire Lotus appeared, even Bing Ling Lao Zu, who possessed the power of a Spirit-grade Heavenly Supreme, narrowed his eyes—he felt a danger emanating from it!!

With a loud boom, the final radiance unleashed by the Fire Lotus was blindingly brilliant, illuminating the entire Universe Space like a sun blazing across the boundless cosmos, and the frigid Universe Space began to warm because of the Fire Lotus's emergence.

Even now, Xiao Yan's Cultivation Realm had regressed back to Upper Earth Supreme, his Dou Patterns had vanished, and his Destruction Fire Body had been dissolved, yet seeing the Fire Lotus in his hand filled him with complete peace.

When in doubt, use Buddha Fury Lotus!

Xiao Yan did not activate his Destruction Fire Body to fight the five Earth Supreme Great Perfections; those five Great Perfections were not even worthy of making Xiao Yan reveal his trump card. From the very beginning, Xiao Yan activated his Destruction Fire Body solely to secretly gather the Buddha Fury Lotus!

Xiao Yan knew that the Five Spirit Clans would surely send a Heavenly Supreme, so he had long ago gathered the Buddha Fury Lotus!

Using his own body and all his Soul Power to condense the Buddha Fury Lotus!!!

This was a technique Xiao Yan created based on the Burn Scripture, his most perfect Dou Technique!

"This Fire Lotus feels weak?"

"Yeah, it feels like nothing at all, almost empty?"

Aside from Tian Supreme Bing Jiuhan, no one present could truly sense the terrifying power of the Buddha Fury Lotus, because all the Strange Fires had been compressed to the extreme, with not a single trace leaking out.

"Go, Buddha Fury Lotus." Xiao Yan gently flicked his finger, and the Buddha Fury Lotus spun toward Bing Jiuhan.

The Fire Lotus, trailing a thread of flame, locked onto Bing Jiuhan, melting a crack along its path.

"Absolute Divine Technique! No—this rivals the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities!!" Bing Jiuhan was a Heavenly Supreme and had himself cultivated an Absolute Divine Technique; even in ancient times, the Five Spirit Clans had needed five Heavenly Supremes to jointly unleash a technique stronger than an Absolute Divine Technique.

In the Great Thousand World, there were only thirty-six such techniques beyond the Absolute Divine Techniques, known as the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities—unparalleled powers surpassing the Absolute Divine Techniques!

Even ordinary Heavenly Supremes could not possess them; even Xianpin Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Zhenzun Heavenly Supremes struggled to obtain even one of the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities.

Now, a youth from a Lower Plane had unleashed a technique rivaling the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities—how could this not astonish everyone!

"Ice Supreme Spirit Body, Spirit of Ice!"

Sensing the terrifying power hidden within Xiao Yan's Buddha Fury Lotus, Bing Jiuhan could no longer hold back—he roared in fury, and boundless Spirit Power surged outward; his body instantly transformed into a sculpture of ice, then a colossal figure, tens of thousands of zhang tall, suddenly coalesced behind him.

That figure radiated brilliant Spiritual Light; with each breath, it seemed to summon blizzards—the entire Spirit Body resembled an ice sculpture, wreathed in drifting ice flowers, each petal capable of freezing an entire continent. From afar, it looked like a deity descending upon the mortal world.

"This is the Heavenly Supreme's Supreme Form."

Across heaven and earth, countless powerful figures stared at the colossal entity manifesting in the cosmos, their hearts shaken—this Heavenly Supreme Ancestor had been forced to reveal his Supreme Form and Spirit Body!

By an Upper Earth Supreme??

Yet the next second, they understood: Bing Jiuhan had done the right thing.

"Detonate."
