Chapter 807

More!

With a loud boom, as Xiao Yan willed it, the flying Buddha Fury Lotus suddenly exploded.

Boom!! In that instant, a deafening roar shook heaven and earth, shook the entire universe; under the thunderous blast, a terrifying wave of flame surged forth, capable of destroying continents and obliterating the heavens.

The Buddha Fury Lotus, forged from the fusion of twenty-four Strange Flames, consuming all of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi and Soul Power—its terror was beyond even his own imagination.

At that moment, the entire universe was blown apart; infinite flames blazed forth in an instant; after the Buddha Fury Lotus shattered, in the flash of boundless firelight, the blinding radiance blinded every eye, rendering all vision useless in that instant.

When the Buddha Fury Lotus exploded, it was as if ten suns had detonated; the stellar-level blast and flame waves instantly annihilated everything, unleashing light so brilliant it blinded the entire universe.

Even on continents far beyond the horizon, countless light-years away, people saw something flash brightly.

"Huh? What star is that, so brilliant?" Some even looked up and saw a star shining exceptionally bright even in daylight.

Yet, at the instant the Buddha Fury Lotus blinded the entire world, it collapsed inward, then expanded again, unleashing a force so terrifying it shook the entire universe.

Retreat!!

Fall back quickly! This technique is an absolute horror!

In an instant, all spectators near the battlefield turned pale with fear; they had grossly underestimated Xiao Yan's Buddha Fury Lotus, believing that with a Heaven Supreme present, this boy who had used a Secret Technique to boost himself to Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak could never cause trouble.

These people were doomed to pay for their ignorance.

Boom boom boom—then came a quake that shook heaven and earth, as the universe collapsed; the vast cosmos seemed ready to be overturned; the Strange Flame waves of the Buddha Fury Lotus rolled forward, raising waves that could knock down stars from the Nine Heavens.

No—in the universe, the exploding Buddha Fury Lotus was truly destroying planets; floating fragments of planets, small celestial bodies were swallowed by the Strange Flame waves; countless meteors shattered, finally turning to ash and vanishing into the cosmos.

How could this be?

How is this more terrifying than ordinary Absolute Divine Abilities?

What kind of Divine Technique is this fire lotus? We've never heard of it before! Some powerful beings watching from the depths of the universe were stunned; they stared at the scene before them and said in disbelief: "Flame waves swallowing light-years, shattering countless planets—this scale is beyond what any ordinary Absolute Divine Ability can achieve!"

"Even an Absolute Divine Ability cast by a Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak shouldn't be this terrifying—is this perhaps one of the Thirty-Six Absolute Divine Abilities surpassing the norm?!"

Boom boom boom—the sound of explosions echoed; the fire lotus erupted over a hundred million zhang high, striking deep into the heavens; this spectacle was magnificent beyond words, profoundly shocking.

From afar, as the fire lotus bloomed, it appeared as if a star-level fire lotus had materialized; let alone at its center, even at its edge, one would be instantly melted by the heat!

"Could the Ice Spirit Clan's Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor have been blown to death?!" At last, someone remembered the Ice Spirit Clan Ancient Emperor, and the others who had fought Xiao Yan.

At this moment, all spectators felt strange—they were now worrying about a Heaven Supreme?? Worried that a Heaven Supreme might be killed by a man who had used a Secret Technique to reach Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak??!

That makes no sense at all! If you said this aloud, people would think you're a fool!

Yet, everyone present who witnessed this scene felt no such worry was excessive—the power of the fire lotus was simply too terrifying.

This fire lotus, not even a normal continent could withstand it; even a supercontinent would be blasted open by a colossal crater, possibly even burned through!

The power of the Buddha Fury Lotus needs no further explanation; when a Heaven Supreme-level Strange Flame erupts as a fire lotus, its might surpasses even a sun's explosion.

At that moment, a humming sound arose; from the center of the fire lotus, a towering figure suddenly emerged.

In that instant, the Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor's figure glowed brightly; a miraculous halo appeared around him. With a loud bang, his Supreme Law Body raised a massive Ice Spirit Stele and pressed it downward.

The massive Ice Spirit Stele emitted a powerful chill, not only protecting the Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor but also shielding the several Earth Supreme Elders behind him from the Five Spirit Clans.

With a hum, the Ice Spirit Stele responded; its countless engraved inscriptions surged upward like thunder; each ancient Ice Spirit Stele acted as a guardian, rising to block the Buddha Fury Lotus.

"Sss! That's the Ice Spirit Clan's sacred treasure—the Ice Spirit Stele! It's an Absolute Saint Treasure! Who would've thought the Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor would have to use the Ice Spirit Stele!!"

Seeing the massive Ice Spirit Stele before the Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor, Ice Nine Cold's eyes narrowed; to counter a technique from a Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak, the Ancient Emperor had to resort to the Ice Spirit Stele!!

The Ice Spirit Stele was the clan's ultimate treasure; anyone born with the Bing Ling Wang Zu bloodline would leave behind an Ice Spirit within it from birth—equivalent to possessing the accumulated power of all Wang Zu bloodlines over tens of thousands of years.

Each use caused the Ice Spirit Stele to sustain damage.

Although using the Ice Spirit Stele to shield others from the fire lotus's blast was one reason, it still proved that a Heaven Supreme, facing an attack from a Great Perfection Earth Supreme Peak, lacked confidence to fully withstand it!

That's simply impossible to imagine!

As for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian, they had long since fled, using the power of Swallowing Flame to teleport to some unknown location.

Though the fire lotus's flames had now been suppressed by the Ice Spirit Stele, and the five Spirit Clan elders behind Ice Nine Cold were unharmed, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian had vanished long ago—this battle was clearly over—yet both cultivators and the Five Spirit Clans were stunned, unable to recover their wits for a long time!

Even after Xiao Yan disappeared, it took a long while before they slowly came back to their senses.

Xiao Yan, an Upper Earth Supreme, had escaped from under a Heaven Supreme's grasp—and even forced a Heaven Supreme to use an Absolute Saint Treasure; the Soul Sect's Flame Venerate was destined to become famous throughout the Great Thousand World.

Escaping from a Heaven Supreme was already astonishing; forcing a Heaven Supreme to use an Absolute Saint Treasure—no one in history had ever done it!

Just as everyone believed the matter had ended, a "message" echoed from all directions—it was the voice of Swallowing Flame: "Fire Spirit Clan brat, tell that dead old man Tuoshe—thousands of years of grudge, I shall surely reclaim it!!"

"The thousand-year imprisonment—I, Swallowing Flame, hold grudges and will make the entire Fire Spirit Clan pay tenfold, a hundredfold!!"

Swallowing Flame's voice carried deep hatred and fury; no wonder—being imprisoned on a pillar for a thousand years, constantly drained of power—anyone would harbor boundless resentment.

After their clash, both Swallowing Flame and Xiao Yan had sensed something: the Fire Spirit Clan was the family of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

The Fire Spirit Clan was a race born from flame becoming sentient—in other words, descendants of Spirit Flames like Swallowing Flame and Pure Lotus Demon Fire; they excelled in fire manipulation and forging, fully capable of crafting Supreme Treasures like the Heavenly Flame Square.

Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Flame Square fell like a meteor onto the Dou Qi Continent; Tuoshe Ancient Emperor obtained the Burning Scripture, devoured all Strange Flames, and became a Dou Emperor, then returned to the Fire Spirit Clan.

Hearing Swallowing Flame's message, Ice Nine Cold turned to look at Zhu Guangli behind him; without asking, he already guessed some truths.

Someone from the Fire Spirit Clan must have entered a Lower Plane, seized something, and the native of that Lower Plane had come seeking revenge.

Ice Nine Cold naturally said nothing; the Ice Spirit Clan had done the same thing before—once, a Bing Ling Wang Zu bloodline member had entered a Lower Plane called Tianxuan Continent.

Heaven Supreme factions sending disciples to plunder resources was perfectly normal—and naturally invited hatred; no one had expected this time to attract such a monstrous foe!

Hearing Swallowing Flame's words, Zhu Ku frowned and asked: "Elder Guangli, the voice mentioned 'Tuoshe'—does it refer to the Ancient Emperor?"

Because Earth Supremes are nearly immortal, ordinary Disciples call them "Ancient Emperor"; but when Earth Supreme Elders say "Ancient Emperor," they mean only one person.

That person is the Fire Spirit Clan's Heaven Supreme, its strongest: Fire Spirit Ancient Emperor, Zhu Tuoshe!

"Fire Spirit Clan brat, do you know that guy who used the Strange Flames?" Ice Nine Cold's gaze turned icy as he stared at the two Fire Spirit Clan members; in his eyes, these two Earth Supremes were no different from greenhorns.

The Ice Spirit Clan had no interest in Fire Spirit Clan affairs—but Xiao Yan had taken the World Seed born from the Five Elements Spirit Soil; they could no longer ignore it—he must reclaim it!

Zhu Guangli bowed deeply to Ice Nine Cold, respectfully saying: "Ice Spirit Ancient Emperor, this matter concerns Tuoshe Ancient Emperor; we know nothing. If you wish to know, ask the Ancient Emperor himself."

Hearing Zhu Guangli's words, Ice Nine Cold's eyes turned cold; he snorted, but did not overstep—he said sternly: "Hmph. This man is connected to your Fire Spirit Clan. Tuoshe must give the Ice Spirit Clan an answer—the World Seed born from the Five Elements Spirit Soil cannot vanish like this."

Ice Nine Cold waved his hand and led the Ice Spirit Clan away; though he had spoken harshly, in strength, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was even stronger than him.

When Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left the Dou Qi Continent, he was already a Dou Emperor, and that was thousands of years ago; after thousands of years, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor reached the Heavenly Supreme.

Among the Heavenly Supremes, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor clearly rose rapidly, so he is even younger than Ice Spirit Ancestor.

The three other clans' ancestors said nothing and departed.

"Let's go. This matter is complicated—we must return to our clan and seek the Ancestor's guidance," Zhu Guangli sighed, then gazed toward the direction where Xiao Yan had vanished, murmuring: "That Flame Sovereign truly came from the Dou Qi Continent."

"Sigh, back then, the Ancestor once said: Is this Flame Sovereign truly the guardian of the Great Thousand World?"

With those words, the two Fire Spirit Clan members turned into flames and flew toward Huo Ling Da Lu, to deliver the news that Void Swallowing Flame was hostile to their clan.

At this moment, in an undetectable void layer, a mass of Black Flame suddenly ignited in the empty Universe Space; then, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian, clad in black robes, staggered out of the Black Flame passage.

"Phew," Xiao Yan exhaled deeply. "That was close—if we'd moved a second slower, we'd have been caught in the Fire Lotus's blast."

The Fire Lotus's power even startled Xiao Yan himself—the explosion was absurdly immense; comparing it to a sun's explosion wasn't an exaggeration at all—this entire solar system might be swallowed by the Flame Wave of the Spirit Flame!

Xiao Yixian gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Yan's forehead with her sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with concern as she said: "You've expended too much—don't use Spirit Flames again for now."

Xiao Yan grinned carefree, grasping Xiao Yixian's Jade Hand. "Then I'll rely on you to protect me from now on."

Xiao Yixian covered her mouth with a light laugh, nodding gently. "Rest assured—I'll refine the Flower of the Other Shore, then forge the Eternal Calamity Poison Body's Supreme Form, and I should break through to Earth Supreme."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart surged with a wicked fire—he seized Xiao Yixian's wrist, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulled her into his embrace, and grinned with pride: "Then it's time for our baby-making plan."

At Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Yixian's snow-white cheeks instantly flushed crimson, yet she did not resist him. She pressed her forehead against his chest and softly murmured, "Mm."

Hearing Xiao Yixian agree to bear his child, Xiao Yan wanted to act immediately—but he held himself back. After all, Xiao Yixian still needed to forge her Form; it wasn't the time for such things.

"I wonder how Xiao Xiao and the others are doing." Speaking of children, Xiao Yan remembered his offspring left behind on the Dou Qi Continent—he had been away for a full year.

Xiao Yixian reached out and stroked Xiao Yan's cheek, soothing him: "Don't worry—Zi Yan is there. The Dou Qi Continent won't be in danger."

On the Dou Qi Continent now, the strongest by far is unquestionably Zi Yan. If Xiao Yan's guess is right, her strength is at least at Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak—if fortune favors her and the Dou Qi Continent recovers quickly, absorbing some Source Qi and Spiritual Energy, she might truly break through her Divine Beast Bloodline and reach Divine Beast rank!

Zi Yan possesses the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline; even if she isn't the true Dragon Phoenix, her potential is incalculable.

"Yes, that girl Zi Yan may seem unreliable most of the time, but she's dependable when it matters," Xiao Yan nodded, his heart also filled with longing for those on the Dou Qi Continent.

After all, the Dou Qi Continent has always been his home, his homeland—there lived his father, his two elder brothers, his wives with real names and status, and all his memories.
