Chapter 537: Demonic Flame Origin

Chapter 537: Demonic Flame Origin

Zhu Zhen paused for a moment as he considered Pill Tower Ancestor's question. Just as he was about to agree, the battlefield suddenly underwent a change. From a distance came the incredulous voice of Hun Tiandi.

"Nightmare Heavenly Fog! How is this possible!"

Hun Tiandi stared at his own technique landing on the Pure Lotus Demon Saint as if passing through a tangible illusion. His expression was filled with disbelief.

He had never seen the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint use this terrifying skill before. It was known that when this skill was used, a bit of mist would appear. However, he hadn't perceived anything at all.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint smiled faintly, without offering any explanation.

The Nightmare Heavenly Fog was his trump card, Illusory and real, true and false. Even if Hun Tiandi knew when used it, what could he do? Having fallen victim to it, unraveling the illusion was not so easy.

"All-Encompassing Palm!"

In the sky, Hun Tiandi stared at the faint smile on the face of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint and refused to believe it. His figure suddenly soared, and then a palm pressed down on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint below. The moment the palm was pressed, a black light sphere about the size of a human head suddenly emerged!

Bang, bang, bang!

With the appearance of this sphere, the energy in the world was dyed as if ink had been dropped into clear water. As far as the eye could see, the boundless sky was now filled with billowing black vapor.

Even the Pill Tower Ancestor, Zhu Zhen, and others outside the attack range couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw the power of Hun Tiandi's palm. They quickly mobilized their Dou Qi to resist the impending energy aftermath.

However, the target of the attack, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, remained motionless, not even bothering to defend.

Hun Tiandi's face grew even colder. He pressed both hands down abruptly, causing the boundless black vapor in the sky to rush down at an astonishing speed. In a mere instant, the boundless black vapor that filled the sky all funneled into the black sphere in his hands.

"Annihilate!"

As his palms descended, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The glowing sphere in his palms emitted a destructive brilliance, undulating before finally roaring down. In less than half a breath's time, it had already arrived directly above the head of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint!

Boom!

The light sphere did not inflict any harm on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint; it passed through his figure and heavily struck the magma below. A tremendous and earth-shattering explosion occurred in an instant, creating a magma pit hundreds of thousands of meters across among the overflow of destructive waves.

'Damn it!'

Hun Tiandi couldn't help but clench his fists at this sight, and it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed that the figure of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was slowly dissipating.

'No! Behind me!'

A shiver ran down Hun Tiandi's spine as the thought crossed his mind, but before he could react, a terrifying flame, akin to a volcanic eruption, ruthlessly fell upon his stunned black figure, followed by a violent explosion.

The space shattered into fragments, crushed again and again by the ferocious Dou Qi. Within a diameter of tens of thousands of meters, everything became pitch black, devoid of any energy, leaving only an endless void.

Hun Tiandi's figure had also silently disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Pill Tower Ancestor and the others found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Hun Tiandi is dead?"

"One of the strongest in the world just died like that?"

"That can't be, right?"

"Then why hasn't he shown up?"

Unlike the speculations of the Pill Tower Ancestor and others, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint looked calmly at the empty space. He knew very well whether Hun Tiandi was dead or not.

Hun Tiandi, of course, had not died. How could it be so easy to kill a peak nine-star Dou Saint?

The Demonic Flame Realm was initially very stable, but the exchange of blows between the two affected the stability of the space. Hun Tiandi took advantage of the spatial fluctuations caused by their confrontation to escape.

Of course, the latter had suffered some injuries, otherwise he wouldn't have fled.

As for this outcome, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was reasonably satisfied.

To be honest, he never intended to kill Hun Tiandi, not because he didn't want to, but because it was genuinely unachievable.

He was able to fight Hun Tiandi in part because he had the support of the energy of the Grand Formation and the partial use of Xiao Ming's power to strengthen himself. On top of that, he was fighting in his own territory. When Hun Tiandi asked when he used Nightmare Heavenly Fog, in reality, the Demonic Flame Realm was filled with Nightmare Heavenly Fog everywhere.

This was the advantage of fighting on one's home ground. With these various enhancements, Hun Tiandi's defeat was not unjust.

After the initial disbelief, the Pill Tower Ancestor and the others quickly regained their composure. They hesitated whether to approach and inquire. After all, their Alliance Leader was still here.

Unexpectedly, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint suddenly waved his sleeve.

The massive grand formation that stretched for tens of thousands of meters emitted a brilliant light. The light distorted space, eventually forming a spatial channel.

"You may leave, he needs to stay behind to receive the Demonic Flame."

Hearing the indifferent words of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, the group exchanged glances and understood his intention. Thinking that there was no need for him to deceive them, they didn't say much, just paid their respects and entered the spatial channel.

On the sight of the group's disappearance, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint closed all the passages.

Then he approached the fire square prison, standing with his hands behind his back. A faint majesty emanated from him.

At this moment, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had unconsciously transformed into a slightly crimson fire lotus. Every time it spun, its color flickered between dark-red and white.

Buzz!

The spinning fire lotus eventually returned to white, but its petals were covered with tiny red veins. At first glance, they looked like the blood vessels of a person. Occasionally, a red light would flash, filling this beautiful fire lotus with a demonic aura.

"When I first met you, your body was as pure as a baby. I gave you intelligence, allowing you to possess the thoughts of a human. However, the path you have taken is the opposite of what I intended..."

That illusory figure outside of Xiao Ming's body sighed softly as he studied the fire lotus filled with a demonic aura.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame realized that it could speak again.

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, it is up to me how I want to grow. You are meddling too much!"

The demonic lotus body emitted light, and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's furious roar echoed within it.

"I only wish that you will avoid self-destructing. I made you like this, so let me put an end to it all..."

"I will remove the intelligence and memories that I have bestowed upon you. In the future, you will be as pure as when I discovered you..."

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, you heartless bastard. I will not allow you to do as you please!"

Another furious roar was emitted from the demonic lotus before it began to spin at a rapid pace. Waves of unusually terrifying blood-colored flames shot out from inside the demonic lotus. The fire curtain formed by the formation was suddenly distorted by these strange blood-colored flames.

"When I reached my limit back then, I wanted to erase your memories, but I was unable to do so. That is why I sealed you here. I hoped to remove your brutality and murderous nature. Looking at it now, the thousands of years of being sealed have made your hatred even more intense. Since this is the case..."

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint looked at the wildly struggling Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and sighed softly. His hand seal changed and the massive formation suddenly began to collapse from its outer edges. After the outer parts of the formation collapsed, the fire pillar that had locked onto the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame became more solid.

Bang bang bang!

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame wildly attacked the fire curtain as the formation rotated.

"Refining Sky Ancient Formation, remove!"

The fire curtain shot out many fire lines as the grand formation collapsed.

These lines formed a fire web that was imprinted on the demonic lotus. After which, the fire web was slowly lifted, forcing thin strands of blood-red fog to gradually leave the core of the demonic lotus.

"Ah!"

A miserable screech was quickly emitted from the demonic lotus after this blood-colored fog appeared. The demonic lotus spun wildly, but no matter what kind of powerful energy it unleashed, it was unable to break through the fire curtain formed by the grand formation.

"The energy that the Refining Sky Ancient Formation has been absorbing for thousands of years has been completely unleashed this time. You will not be able to block it. Little demon, leave with me..."

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint controlled the fire lines and gradually pushed out the blood-colored fog that represented the memories and intelligence of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. A calm voice sounded during the process.

"Nonsense, without memories and intelligence, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame will have no consciousness of its own in the future. What is the difference between this and killing me? You keep saying that you don't want to take my life, but everything you do is driving me to death. You hypocrite!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's heart began to panic as he felt his mind gradually becoming blank. He roared out loud. Once his memories and intelligence were completely removed, he would truly be considered 'dead'.

"Your temperament is extremely ferocious, and now you have acquired my inheritance as well. If you are allowed to break the seal, a great disaster will befall the world. This disaster was started by me. Naturally, it will have to be averted by me."

The illusory figure of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint shook his head. He said nothing more. His hand seal changed, and the many fire lines within the fire curtain suddenly surrounded the demonic lotus.

"Ah!"

Wave after wave of dense blood fog swiftly surged out of the demonic lotus. The blood fog quickly formed a blood-colored figure in the air above the demonic lotus. This blood-colored figure was the same human figure that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had appeared as before.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was in a desperate attempt to return to his core after being forced out. However, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint did not give him such an opportunity. He clenched his hand, and the fire curtain rapidly shrank. The front lines turned into a three-meter fire prison.

"Master, Master, spare me this time. I will definitely change in the future!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was terrified as it struggled desperately to free himself from the prison. His power was less than a tenth without the support of his core, making it impossible for him to compete with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. He hastily knelt down and begged the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint for mercy.

The illusory figure formed by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint sighed as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame began to beg for mercy. He waved his sleeves and the illusory figure left Xiao Ming's body. The figure drifted into the fire prison and landed in front of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

"Little demon, I hold no grudge against you. Even though you retaliated against me back then, I still do not hate you. I have never had any disciples or children in my life. Since the beginning, you have been the one closest to me..."

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's hand gently rubbed the head of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. A kind and gentle smile appeared on his somewhat illusory face.

"But I hate you!"

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame suddenly lifted his head. His blood-red eyes glared at the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. A bloody fog suddenly erupted and enveloped the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. The bloody fog crazily eroded the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's body.

"This appearance is just like back then..."

A faint sadness appeared on the face of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint as he felt the erosion of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. He sighed softly as he slowly extended his hand.

"Together, we will disappear from this world forever..."

As the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint uttered these words, the huge fire arrays suddenly collapsed. Finally, they turned into two extremely bright lights that shot out and ruthlessly struck the fire curtain!

Bang!

The storm swept across the realm. A crack tens of thousands of meters across appeared in the sea of magma. Such a huge crack was something that the existing magma could not fill.

After the violent energy storm gradually dissipated, only Xiao Ming, who had witnessed everything, was left in the empty sky.

"The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint is indeed an extraordinary figure..."

Xiao Ming sighed. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint's feelings towards the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame were genuine. However, the nature of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was inherently evil. Moreover, he used to have intelligence, just like the Nihility Devouring Flame. It was after escaping from the Heavenly Flame Square that it experienced an unexpected memory loss.

Even though the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame completely lost his memories and never remembered them again, the guidance of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was fruitless. The violent nature was ingrained in his bones.

In other words, this Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was naturally wicked.

When the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint understood this, he didn't blame the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame for betraying him. Instead, he decided to take this existence, which was like a member of his family, with him. It was truly an act of boundless love.

Furthermore, Xiao Ming still kept the light cluster in his mind.

It contained the inheritance of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, including techniques such as Nightmare Heavenly Fog.

In both public and private aspects, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was worthy of Xiao Ming's respect.

After giving a sigh, Xiao Ming looked down.

On the vast magma sea below, a pure white lotus with pink veins all over its body was gently floating. With its movement, it seemed as if the energy of the entire magma sea was constantly surging towards it.

"Demonic Flame Origin..."
