Chapter 531: The Descent of the Demonic Flame

Two days later, while the Holy Pill City was still bustling with the Pill Gathering event.

A figure silently appeared in a certain area of the Central Plains amidst a towering mountain range.

This person was dressed in a grey-white robe, looked to be around thirty years old, and had a handsome face. His exceptionally bright eyes seemed to be able to pierce through a person's soul.

The first impression he made was one of scholarly elegance. If he were to hold a book in his hands, then he would look just like a scholar.

This person was the head of the Hun Clan, Hun Tiandi.

The mountain range was covered in lush greenery, creating a beautiful landscape. However, there was an extremely distorted sensation in the space above. Faintly, a milky white light shone through the distorted space.

Hun Tiand's eyes narrowed as he looked at this space. He stretched out his soul power to probe it but then withdrew it abruptly.

"The structure of this Demonic Flame Realm is actually like this; it uses formations to connect with the energy of the world and create a resonance with the nine stars in the void. Until the energy of these nine stars gathers and causes a drastic change, it cannot be opened. Trying to open it by force is as difficult as reaching the heavens."

"But that's only for others," Hun Tiandi's eyes were filled with confidence.

After all, no matter how powerful the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was, he was still only a half-Dou God. Even though he was stronger than Hun Tiandi and could defeat several Hun Tiandis, he hadn't truly entered the Dou God realm. Moreover, when the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint created the Demonic Flame Realm, it was during a period of weakness after being betrayed by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

With Hun Tiandi's abilities, it wasn't difficult to break through such a space.

The reason why Hun Tiandi had not taken the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame directly before was due to the restriction agreements between the Ancient Clans and the long-term plan of the Hun Clan. It wasn't that he couldn't take it.

Now that the Hun Clan's thousand-year plan was nearing completion, and in order to get the Nihility Devouring Flame to cooperate, there was no need to be so cautious.

As for someone stopping him, unless Gu Yuan appeared, who could possibly stop him now?

Gu Yan was currently in the Gu Realm. By the time he received the news, everything would have been done.

Hun Tiandi waved his hand, and countless blood-red flags appeared in the sky. These flags, imbued with a thick scent of blood, seemed to contaminate the entire space.

Undeterred by the bloody scent, Hun Tiandi continued his movements. The blood-red flags transformed into strands of bloodlight in an instant and entered the void within the distorted space.

As the last flag completed its entry, Hun Tiandi's hand seals suddenly changed.

"Samsara Two-Embodiment Formation, activate!"

Boom!

A powerful energy fluctuation filled the entire world in an instant. Countless blood-red mists immediately emanated from the void, accompanied by faint sounds of waves echoing from within the void.

A subtle crack silently opened in that twisted space. A milky white radiance poured out of the crack. Within that radiance was an unbearable, terrifying temperature, something that even the soul could not endure.

...

In Holy Pill City, Xiao Ming sat in a peaceful bamboo pavilion. He was holding his two adored daughters in his arms at this moment.

The little girl on his right arm had fiery red hair. Her pitch-black eyes sparkled with an innate curiosity that reflected the intelligence that lay within her. The younger daughter on his left had flowing black hair and captivating emerald eyes. She exuded a pure innocence that would make anyone's heart melt.

His three wives were gathered around them, their faces beaming with smiles as they chatted and laughed with each other.

Suddenly, a frown formed on Xiao Ming's face as he looked to the northwest of Holy Pill City.

In that distant sky, a bright light suddenly burst forth. Under this light, there was also an extremely terrifying temperature. The ripples spread out, and it was unclear how large an area was affected. Even in Holy Pill City, people could still feel a scorching heat rising from the depths of their hearts.

"What's happening?" Qing Lin asked in alarm, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian also sensed this world tide, their faces showing a moment of concern before regaining their composure. Instinctively, they reached for their daughters' hands. The little girls had become tense as they sensed the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"This is the emergence of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, which ranks third in the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. Just now, the strange light cluster suspended in his mind had experienced intense ripples.

In the midst of their conversation, several streams of light quickly swept in from the distance, and after a few flashes, they appeared beside Xiao Ming. They were the First Elder and several other Dou Saints.

"The Demonic Flame is about to descend..."

As they landed beside Xiao Ming and the girls, the First Elder spoke with a solemn expression.

"According to legends, the descent of the Demonic Flame is accompanied by the simultaneous appearance of twin moons and the alignment of nine stars. However, it seems that the current situation doesn't quite match the records in the ancient books. Could the records be inaccurate?"

"No."

Rising from his seat, Xiao Ming kissed the foreheads of his two little ones before handing them over to Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa. He then looked directly to the northwest. His deep gaze seemed to travel tens of thousands of kilometers before he caught sight of a figure in white.

"There is another reason for this. At the place where the Demonic Flame is about to descend, I 'saw' a Nine-Star Dou Saint."

"What! A Nine-Star Dou Saint!"

A series of exclamations rang out. In this era without Dou Gods, a Nine-Star Dou Saint represented the pinnacle, the epitome of strength!

It was worth noting that the creator of the Demonic Flame Realm was also only a Nine-Star Dou Saint!

Currently, only the heads of the Gu Clan and the Hun Clan were publicly known to be Nine-Star Dou Saints on the entire continent.

And now, Xiao Ming was claiming that there was a Nine-Star Dou Saint there! Could this person be Gu Yuan or Hun Tiandi?

It would be catastrophic if that person was Hun Tiandi. If the Demonic Flame fell into the hands of the Hun Clan, it would undoubtedly cause harm to the Heavenly Court sooner or later.

However, their strength was limited; the Heavenly Court did not have a Nine-Star Dou Saint. What should they do?

Xiao Ming pulled back his gaze and saw the worried expression on their faces. He immediately understood their thoughts and chuckled.

"That person is indeed Hun Tiandi. But rest assured, before I returned a few days ago, I had already broken through to the eight-star Dou Saint. With my current strength, Hun Tiandi won't be able to take away the Demonic Flame."

"Eight-Star Dou Saint? Hahaha, that's right! Every time you return from a journey, your strength makes a breakthrough. We should have thought of that!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was first stunned, then immediately overjoyed.

If it had been someone else who confidently claimed to have broken through from the Six-Star to the Eight-Star stage in just over half a year, they would surely have questioned the other person, and might even have thought that the person had gone mad. But when it came to Xiao Ming, everything suddenly became reasonable.

Besides, everyone knew Xiao Ming's strength, he often won against stronger opponents. Perhaps he really wasn't afraid of Hun Tiandi, and at the very least, he might be able to destroy the Demonic Flame and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Hun Clan.

"No time to waste, let's go. As for the Pill Gathering, let Old Xuan make the final arrangements," Xiao Ming said.

"Hmm." The First Elder and the others nodded.

Everyone understood that starting tomorrow, there would likely be far fewer people in Holy Pill City. Countless experts would rush to the place where the Demonic Flame was descending. Even though many people knew that they didn't have the ability to subdue the Demonic Flame, they all had a bit of wishful thinking.

After all, if someone could obtain and refine the Demonic Flame, their strength would undoubtedly skyrocket. In the future, they would be able to defeat opponents of a higher level than themselves with ease. There was no denying that such a temptation was enormous.

However, this wouldn't affect the normal operation of the Pill Gathering. For the participants, the Three Thousand Burning Flame was the most likely and least dangerous choice of Heavenly Flame.

"Qing Lin, stay with your sisters and protect them. If anything happens that you cannot handle, just flee to the Empty Realm."

Qing Lin had the highest cultivation level and combat strength of the three girls. This was due to the benefits she received from the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

"You can rest easy, Young Master." Qing Lin nodded without hesitation. She wouldn't question her husband's arrangements at such a crucial moment.

Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa furrowed their brows slightly as they saw Xiao Ming about to face an opponent of Hun Tiandi's caliber. But neither woman tried to convince him otherwise. They simply said a few words.

"Be careful, husband."

"Don't worry, this will not take long."

Xiao Ming replied with a reassuring smile, then tore through the space and stepped into it. The First Elder and the others followed close behind.
