บท 536: Chapter 535: Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint vs. Hun Tiandi

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, you were unrivaled in the entire continent when you were alive. However, you have been dead for many years now. All you have left behind is an imprint. Do you really think that your current self can hinder me?"

"Why don't you give me the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame instead? I'll extinguish his intelligence, and you'll achieve your goal. It's a win-win situation. Why not consider it?"

Hun Tiandi gazed calmly at the figure below. But inside, he felt intense apprehension.

He would not be afraid of this remaining imprint in the outside world. However, within the Demonic Flame Realm created by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint himself, which contained a tremendously powerful formation, a direct confrontation might be unpredictable.

'Xiao Ming' looked at Hun Tiandi calmly, showing no interest in his suggestion.

"The murderous and tyrannical aura around you is many times stronger than that of the little demon. I won't hand it over to you."

What kind of person was the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint? With a single glance, he could tell right away that Hun Tiandi wasn't a good person at all. How could he entrust the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to him? He had sealed the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to prevent it from wreaking havoc on the continent. If he were to hand it over to Hun Tiandi, what would be the point of his efforts so far?

In comparison, Xiao Ming seemed much more trustworthy. Besides, he'd already promised to give him the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, and naturally, he wasn't going to go back on his word.

Hun Tiandi's calm and deep eyes flashed ruthlessly when he heard this.

"Since that's the case, this clan head would like to ask Senior Demonic Saint for some advice!"

Boom!

The earth and sky trembled as Hun Tiandi became enraged. The space shook as the energy surged out from thousands of miles away.

Below, 'Xiao Ming' remained silent. An equally massive energy gathered around him, forming concentric waves with him at the center.

A majestic and cold aura surrounded them both, stirring the energy of the world and distorting it into twisted domains.

The invisible domains intertwined, repelling each other like hostile hounds under the command of a hunter, viciously lunging at the enemy in front of them.

Under the influence of their domains, the space couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed, causing the once-raging spatial storms to be forcefully pushed back by the violent wave of Dou Qi.

'Xiao Ming' and Hun Tiandi were separated by tens of thousands of meters, a distance that had already become the battleground between the two.

Even an ordinary advanced eight-star Dou Saint would probably end up seriously injured if they were to invade this domain.

"Not bad, you still retain such a huge amount of energy!"

Hun Tiandi sneered as he raised his palm slightly. The energy of the world surged, transforming into a colossal tidal giant hand that was tens of thousands of meters in size and slammed into 'Xiao Ming.' The palm wind caused the space to tremble violently.

Seeing Hun Tiandi's earth-shattering attack, 'Xiao Ming's' expression did not change. He raised his palm and a black hole formed in his hand. The black hole rapidly expanded to a colossal size of tens of thousands of meters, directly encompassing the entire space.

In the distant sky, the tidal giant hand collided violently with the black hole. There was no earth-shattering sound, only the softly collapsing spatial lines, and the overflowing destructive force.

A highly aggressive flame aura suddenly entered Hun Tiandi's body at this moment. With a muffled sound, a demonic flame ignited within him.

Hun Tiandi was startled inwardly but showed no outward reaction. He immediately mobilized his Dou Qi to extinguish the invading flame.

'Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame! It has rebelled for a thousand years, yet its power is still being used. What a waste...'

"Demonic Flame World Destruction!"

'Xiao Ming' didn't let this opportunity slip. He immediately formed seals with his hands, using the previously seemingly useless technique of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Rumble!

The two massive fire arrays shook violently at this moment. Layers of milky-white flames suddenly shot out from within the grand formation.

These were the flames that Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had injected into the grand formation earlier, and now that Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was in control of the formation, he was casually manipulating them.

The surroundings were instantly engulfed in flames with the eruption of the demonic flames. All the energy in the surrounding space was vaporized by the extremely terrifying heat in that split second.

Milky-white flame dragons then condensed and rushed towards Hun Tiandi.

Inside the prison-like confinement, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame saw this scene and was so furious that his face was contorted. He wanted to curse but found himself bound by a force that prevented him from venting his frustration.

'Damn it!'

Hun Tiandi cursed inwardly. This move of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint was more than ten times more powerful. He dared not face it directly.

The demonic flames within his body continued to burn and expand rapidly.

For a moment, Hun Tiandi found himself somewhat overwhelmed, but his rich experience in battle allowed him to make a quick judgment.

He waved his sleeve and an endless wave of blood-red Dou Qi erupted, covering his entire body. At the same time, he also mobilized his Dou Qi to hasten the extinction of the demonic flames burning within him.

Hun Tiandi was able to completely cover himself in Dou Qi before the flame dragons arrived, forming a blood-red robe. An endless bloody aura emanated from this robe, resembling a demon with fierce and arrogant intent, as if the robe had been stained with blood after numerous killings.

Boom! Boom!

Sparks flew across the sky, and the explosions sent shockwaves in all directions. Among them, some swirling flames created shockwaves capable of annihilating any Dou Saint below the Eight-Star Stage.

When the flames finally dissipated, the figure of Hun Tiandi appeared. The blood-red robe on his body was tattered and worn, and he himself appeared battered and bruised.

"Demonic Fire Halberd!"

Before Hun Tiandi could catch his breath, 'Xiao Ming' threw a colossal flaming halberd three hundred meters in length.

The explosive shockwave and the halberd's icy, dazzling blade, carrying an aura of danger, instantly arrived before Hun Tiandi.

In a high-level confrontation, timing was everything. Hun Tiandi, caught off guard by the unexpected control the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint still had over the demonic flame, found himself at a disadvantage. He had to react hastily to every move.

However, having already extinguished the demonic flame within his body, Hun Tiandi was more composed this time. He dodged the attack with a quick movement and appeared right next to 'Xiao Ming.'

Blood-red light surged in his palm, eventually turning into a condensed cloud of blood. This blood cloud, pulsating rapidly like a heartbeat, condensed to the extreme, and in an instant, it collided heavily with Xiao Ming.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a while, muffled collisions echoed incessantly in this realm.

"This battle... should we consider retreating for now?"

Several figures at the entrance of the Demonic Flame Realm twitched their faces as they watched the intense battle unfolding above.

Under the gaze of these onlookers, two figures in the sky were clashing violently, each wielding a power capable of destroying the world. The energy fluctuations were so terrifying that even those standing far away felt a sense of dread in their hearts. Fortunately, the space here was relatively stable; after being shattered, it would quickly repair itself. Therefore, even in such a fierce battle, the entire space was not completely destroyed.

Those figures were the First Elder, the Pill Tower Ancestor, and the others who had entered the Demonic Flame Realm after Xiao Ming. They were slightly delayed in entering the realm.

By the time they entered, Xiao Ming was already engaged in a fierce battle with Hun Tiandi.

The Pill Tower Ancestor did not immediately respond to the First Elder's suggestion. Instead, he turned to face another elderly man beside him.

"Elder Zhu Zhen, what do you think?"

Zhu Zhen, who usually cultivated in seclusion in the Heavenly Court, also arrived after hearing the news. He arrived even later than the Pill Tower Ancestor and the others.
