Chapter 279: Nether Lotus Holy Saint

A Soul Clan Dou Saint looked at everyone and said, "It seems we have no choice but to join forces this time. Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

"Although I really don't want to cooperate with you, you have a point. This Nether Lotus Demon Flame doesn't seem inclined to let us leave easily," a hesitant elder from the Yan Clan finally spoke up.

Seeing the Yan Clan agreeing, other factions began to waver.

"Brother Xiao Tian, what about us?" Xun'er asked.

"I'll deal with the Nether Lotus Demon Flame. Just make sure to protect yourselves," Xiao Tian said, waving his hand and taking out the Nether Lotus Demon Flame map.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, a ray of light burst forth, and a somewhat ethereal figure slowly emerged from it.

"What? Another Nether Lotus Demon Flame?" Seeing this, everyone was shocked. This figure looked exactly like the Nether Lotus Demon Flame.

As soon as the figure appeared, it emitted a supreme aura that made everyone around feel a tremor, as if they wanted to kneel and worship.

"Nether Lotus Holy Saint? How... how can you still be alive?" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame roared in shock upon seeing the figure of the Nether Lotus Holy Saint.

"What? This is the Nether Lotus Holy Saint?" Hearing the Nether Lotus Demon Flame's words, everyone present was stunned.

They were all well aware of the Nether Lotus Holy Saint's reputation. He was an existence infinitely close to becoming a Dou Di, once casting a spell that plunged an entire city into a dream.

"It seems that the thousands of years of sealing have not worn away the violence in your heart..." The Nether Lotus Holy Saint said slowly, his voice carrying a pressure that made the heavens and earth tremble.

"Scoundrel! You ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for me, would you have achieved such heights? I helped you so much, and yet you sealed me away. You deserved to be counterattacked and die!" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame snarled, his face twisted with rage.

The Nether Lotus Holy Saint responded calmly, "Your violence is partly my responsibility, so I cannot let you roam free."

"Do you still think you're the mighty Nether Lotus Holy Saint? You're just a remnant shadow now!" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame glared venomously, roaring, "Today, I'll refine you!"

As he spoke, countless milky white fire threads shot out, spreading across the entire Demon Flame space.

"Refining Heaven Ancient Formation!" With a series of thunderous booms, a massive fire formation, stretching tens of thousands of feet, materialized from the void.

"Whoosh!"

As the giant formation appeared in the sky, the endless sea of lava below also surged, revealing another massive formation.

"Nether Lotus Holy Saint, you never thought that the sealing formation you personally created would one day be used by me. In this Holy Saint space, who can challenge me?" The ancient formation that covered the heavens began to slowly rotate, and the Nether Lotus Demon Flame laughed hysterically.

Then, with murderous intent in his eyes, he changed his hand seals. The gigantic formation covering the heavens started to rotate like a millstone with a rumbling sound.

As the two formations rotated, the energy in the space became extremely violent.

Those with only half-saint levels of strength immediately turned pale, and some of the weaker ones even spat out blood.

The formation had only just started and hadn't attacked yet, but some couldn't bear it.

"Run!"

Seeing this, people frantically rushed towards the distance.

"Refining Heaven Ancient Formation, refine the heavens into slaves!" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame ignored the small fry. He continuously changed his hand seals, and two beams of destructive fire shot out from the two formations, heading towards the Nether Lotus Holy Saint.

Currently, his greatest enemy was the Nether Lotus Holy Saint. Although he outwardly showed disdain, he was extremely fearful inside.

Seeing the power of the formation unleashed by the Nether Lotus Demon Flame, even the Soul Clan's five-star Dou Saint looked extremely solemn. With his strength, being hit by these beams would mean instant death.

"Stop!"

However, the Nether Lotus Holy Saint merely raised his finger and gently pointed.

In the next moment, the terrifying beams of light froze in place.

"This Refining Heaven Ancient Formation was created by me. You cannot surpass me," the Nether Lotus Holy Saint said softly.

"Rumble!"

Soon, the two giant fire formations began to tremble violently.

Streams of milky white flames shot out from the formations, and as they left, the Nether Lotus Demon Flame found himself losing control of the formations.

"Old ghost, I'll fight you to the end!" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame, eyes bloodshot, screamed frantically.

He knew that if the formations were controlled by the Nether Lotus Holy Saint, he would ultimately be sealed again.

"World-Ending Demon Flame!" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame transformed into countless milky white flames, filling the entire sky. A high-level half-saint who had not escaped was immediately enveloped in flames and began to burn.

In just a few breaths, the high-level half-saint was burned to black ash.

"Run!"

This sight chilled everyone to the bone. Although they knew the Demon Flame was terrifying, they hadn't expected it to be this horrifying.

They all desperately rushed towards the space passage.

"Miss, we should leave quickly!" Gu Nanhai urged Xun'er.

Xun'er shook her head and said, "Elder Gu Nanhai, you go first. I will stay here with Brother Xiao Tian!"

At this moment, more and more milky white flames filled the sky. In the center of the sea of flames, faint pink flames began to appear, converging into a slightly crimson, eerie fire lotus.

As the crimson fire lotus appeared, even a strong person like Gu Nanhai turned red-faced. Their Dou Qi inside them seemed to want to ignite.

"We're leaving!" Seeing this, the Dou Saints had no choice but to retreat.

"Whoosh!"

Golden flames continuously emerged from Xun'er's body, shielding her from the effects of the Nether Lotus Demon Flame.

"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?" The Nether Lotus Demon Flame looked at Xun'er greedily and said, "After I refine this old ghost, I'll take your strange flame!"

With that, terrifying blood-red flames surged from him, rushing towards the Nether Lotus Holy Saint.

"In the past, you were pure as a newborn. I gave you intelligence, but I didn't expect you to turn out like this. I wanted to erase your memories back then but couldn't bring myself to do it. So I sealed you, hoping it would quell the violence and killing intent in your heart. But you haven't repented. Since that's the case, I'll have to end this!"

As he spoke, the Nether Lotus Holy Saint changed his hand seals, and the two enormous formations covering the heavens immediately produced gigantic fire curtains, encasing the Nether Lotus Demon Flame within.
