The fire array in the sky blotted out the sun. The two fire arrays appeared to be two massive fire plates that covered this realm from above and below. Hun Tiandi and Xiao Ming appeared as ants within these two massive plates.
However, as the controller of this grand formation, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame did not feel the slightest sense of security.
His facial expression changed frantically as he witnessed the finger that seemed to shatter the sky. The seals on his hands quickly changed, leaving nothing but afterimages behind. Those huge, disc-like arrays began to slowly rotate with a thunderous rumble.
The energy in this realm became extremely violent as the two arrays slowly rotated.
"Refining Sky Ancient Formation, refine the sky into slaves!"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame floated in the sky with a ferocious expression. A milky-white flame erupted from its body in all directions before pouring into the large arrays.
Bang!
A cry rang out as the realm shook violently. A circular, milky-white light quickly gathered from the edges of the large arrays. Eventually, it coalesced into a milky-white pillar three hundred meters across. The interior of the light pillar was filled with destructive energy...
"Refine!"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's face revealed a sinister smile. He suddenly pointed his finger downward. The sky and earth arrays both shook violently before two milky-white light pillars shot out like fountains. Their target was the approaching Death Finger.
Bang bang!
The collision lasted only a moment. An earth-shattering explosion spread across the realm. The magma sea region below had formed a deep pit thousands of meters across. The magma inside had been pushed back hundreds of meters...
"Hmph, stubborn resistance!"
Hun Tiandi snorted coldly upon seeing this. With a powerful press of his finger, the milky-white light pillar that had been stubbornly resisting was instantly shattered with a resounding crack.
With the impediment removed, the Death Finger flew across the sky with astonishing speed. Finally, it collided violently with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame in the sky!
In the distant sky, Hun Tiandi looked at the rapidly spreading energy fluctuations thousands of meters away. His gaze showed a certain amount of surprise and uncertainty.
"Still alive...?"
The energy waves that lingered in the sky slowly dissipated. After the fluctuations disappeared, a faint light circle appeared in front of Hun Tiandi's eyes. Inside the light circle were the figures of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and Xiao Ming.
At this moment, apart from the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame looking a bit disheveled, Xiao Ming appeared to be completely unharmed.
Hun Tiandi was not surprised by Xiao Ming's appearance. However, his calm demeanor was somewhat unexpected.
According to his understanding, even though Xiao Ming had dealt with his previous attack, it had only been a casual strike and was not worthy of praise. But now, he had just displayed a formidable Tian Class Dou Technique!
Was he able to withstand that? Was Xiao Ming that strong?!!
'No, something's not right.'
As Hun Tiandi pondered, he noticed that Xiao Ming was emitting a faint glow. This glow slowly gathered on the surface of his body, eventually transforming into a somewhat illusionary human figure.
'Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame?!'
As soon as this figure appeared, Hun Tiandi's pupils contracted. The appearance of this figure was identical to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame in the sky!
'Why are there two Demonic Flames? No, that's... Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint!'
'Although I don't understand why the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, who has been dead for thousands of years, would appear in Xiao Ming, it does explain why Xiao Ming was able to withstand my attack.'
Hun Tiandi suppressed the trace of caution towards Xiao Ming in his heart.
Unbeknownst to him, even without the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, Xiao Ming could effortlessly withstand his attack…
The closed eyes of 'Xiao Ming' trembled slightly as Hun Tiandi observed. Soon after, his eyes slowly opened, but those once pitch-black pupils turned to a milky-white color.
A dominating aura emanated from those eyes. It made people want to prostrate themselves in worship as an involuntary fluttering sensation was emitted.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint waved his sleeve, causing the milky-white light barrier to slowly dissipate. His white eyes gazed at the nearby Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
"Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint? How is that possible?! How can you still be alive!"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame in the sky quickly focused on Xiao Ming the moment the light barrier dispersed.
His heart formed a great storm as he saw who the figure on the surface of Xiao Ming's body belonged to. A shocked roar filled with disbelief echoed across the sky.
"It seems that after being sealed for thousands of years, you have yet to calm the violence in your heart..."
'Xiao Ming' gazed at the fierce eyes of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. A faint voice, at times distant and at times near, slowly emanated from his mouth. It echoed in the vast space, carrying a kind of pressure that made the entire realm tremble.
"You scoundrel, Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint! You ungrateful bastard! Would you have been able to achieve what you have without me? I have aided you so much, but you have sealed me in the end. Ha ha, it serves you right to be killed by the backlash!"
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame looked at 'Xiao Ming' with a fierce expression on his face as he laughed madly. It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the monstrous hatred in his heart.
Little did he realize that without the intervention of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint earlier, he would have been captured by Hun Tiandi long ago.
"I am responsible for you becoming this brutal. But the destructive power of the demonic flame is far too great. If you are allowed to leave as you wish, the world will face a great catastrophe." 'Xiao Ming' slowly shook his head as he replied.
"Hmph, a mere remnant image dares to act arrogantly in front of me. Do you really think that you are still the almighty Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint who once dominated the world?"
Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame glared at 'Xiao Ming' with resentment. The seal formed by his hands suddenly changed as he attempted to manipulate the huge fire arrays to attack the latter. However, he found that he couldn't mobilize any energy. His control over the grand formation had completely disappeared!
"The Refining Sky Ancient Formation was created by me. If we talk about the level of understanding, you are not on the same level as me."
A faint smile appeared on 'Xiao Ming's' face. His eyes were on the ugly expressions of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame as he spoke softly.
"You scoundrel! I'll fight you to the death!"
Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's eyes turned blood-red in an instant. He was aware of the terrifying power this formation possessed. He hadn't unleashed even a tenth of its power before.
If he didn't fight with all his might now, he would undoubtedly face the fate of being sealed again. Having endured the monotonous life for thousands of years, he was already extremely tired of it...
"Demonic Flame World Destruction...!"
"Halt."
Just as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was about to go all out, 'Xiao Ming' changed his hand seals. The two large arrays that covered the sky and earth quickly merged, and a massive curtain of fire erupted from their center. Then, with lightning-like speed, it formed a prison of four pillars of fire, locking the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame inside.
Once these actions had been completed, the gaze of 'Xiao Ming' turned to Hun Tiandi.
