Chapter 89: Seeing Through

With the fusion of the Amethyst Beast Flame and the Spiritual Strength of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the suppressed remnant soul of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger was instantly activated and began to counterattack, fighting for control over the Ten Thousand Beast Flame!

Yao Ao's pained voice emanated from within the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

"Yao Li, do not forget the agreement between us!"

Yao Ao had endured three hundred years of torment. As time passed and the Spiritual Strength of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger weakened, he finally succeeded in removing most of its soul from the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and leaving his own soul imprint.

After that, he notified his Yao Clan descendants through spiritual transmission to come retrieve the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and resurrect him.

After suffering for three hundred years, how could he be willing to let the Hall of Souls take away his prize now?!

"If you help me resurrect, I will give you all my wealth, alchemy knowledge, pill recipes, and the medicinal pills stored in my alchemy room!"

Yao Li's heart was in turmoil when he these words. Finally, he abruptly turned around and gritted his teeth. People die for wealth, just as birds die for food—he was willing to risk it all!

"Mu Lao, go—"

Just then, Xiao Yan sighed and interrupted Yao Li. He slowly raised his hand and said, "You're too slow."

Boom!!! With a resounding boom, endless black flames gushed out from his palm. Mao Wu merged into the Ten Thousand Beast Flame along the black flames.

Mao Wu was a Seed Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame that possessed spiritual intelligence. The Heavenly Flame itself inherently restrained soul bodies, and a Heavenly Flame like Mao Wu that had a master was absolutely deadly when it attacked a soul body!

"Ah!!! What kind of flame is this!!!"

The ability of the Nihility Devouring Flame needed no explanation. Even as a fledgling Seed Flame, any soul body that came into contact with it would find it difficult to extinguish.

Within the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength could sense three forces currently surrounding another, most powerful force.

The soul imprint that had already been branded was now being continuously eroded and devoured by the Nihility Devouring Flame!

The Nihility Devouring Flame could devour anything in the world. There was nothing it couldn't consume, only a difference in speed.

Yao Ao's control over the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was rapidly weakening as the imprint was being frantically devoured.

While he could still hold his ground against the intervention of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Mao Wu's involvement turned the situation into a game of cat and mouse.

Yao Li's heart trembled the moment the black flames appeared. His face turned deathly pale as he muttered to himself, "Is this a Heavenly Flame Spirit?! But why is it so strange, why is this Heavenly Flame so weak?!"

"Just what methods are the Hun Clan hiding?!"

To cultivate a Heavenly Flame to the level of a Heavenly Flame Spirit! What kind of method was that! Didn't this mean that the status of the man before him within the Hun Clan must be incomparably high?!

Yao Li no longer had any doubts. He hastily closed the lid of the coffin on the ground and put it back into his storage ring. The only thing on his mind was to get as far away from this person called Hun Yan as possible.

Too terrifying!

Xiao Yan's hanging heart was relieved when he saw Yao Li packing his things. As long as that 7-star Dou Emperor left this place, victory would be his!

As for that 7th-tier alchemist's soul body? The Hall of Souls specialized in dealing with soul bodies. The Soul Command Token and Soul Robe in his possession were specifically for handling soul bodies.

As long as he controlled the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, everything else would fall into place!

A dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the Ten Thousand Beast Flame just as Xiao Yan stepped within two meters of it. The sudden change startled him, and he hurriedly retreated.

As he stepped back, he was horrified to discover that the red Ten Thousand Beast Flame, mixed with purple Beast Flame and black Nihility Devouring Flame, had suddenly begun to split apart!

It was like twins being separated. Cracks were constantly forming from the middle. This caused his expression to change rapidly.

The white light slowly squirmed until half of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame actually separated and transformed into an illusory elderly figure.

This figure, composed of the red Ten Thousand Beast Flame, had an aged face and eyes that glowed faintly with cold light. The moment this illusory figure appeared, its terrifying Spiritual Strength made Xiao Yan feel a sense of oppression welling up from the bottom of his heart.

'Yao Ao!' Xiao Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble. He naturally knew that the illusory figure in front of him was the combination of Yao Ao's soul body and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

However, he never expected that Yao Ao would have such resolve. He directly abandoned the Essence Flame of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and decisively took half of the flame to reappear in this form!

Xiao Yan quickly took out a Soul Guard Pill and tossed it into his mouth to protect his soul. After which, he immediately summoned Mao Wu back to guard himself, preventing any attempts by the soul body to invade his mind and possess him!

A glint flashed through Yao Ao's eyes, but he didn't choose to attack Xiao Yan. As an elder of the Yao Clan himself, he knew even better than Yao Li how troublesome the Hun Clan could be.

The Hun Clan had a set of techniques that made soul bodies like children in their hands, unable to put up a fight at all. Not to mention, Xiao Yan possessed the strange Nihility Devouring Flame.

Boom!!! Yao Ao, wielding the immense power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, charged directly at Yao Li.

"Elder! You!!"

"Brat, didn't you want the Ten Thousand Beast Flame? Well, it's yours now!"

Yao Li was utterly shocked. He had never imagined that his own clan elder would try to invade his body and seize it for himself!!

With a buzzing sound, a peculiar green pattern appeared on his forehead. Immediately, a medicinal fragrance began to waft out as his Spiritual Strength instantly increased quite a bit.

"Hahaha, a Clan Mark? You think a mere Grade 4 Clan Mark can stop me? Don't forget, I once possessed a Grade 5 Clan Mark!"

Yao Ao laughed deviously. This was his plan all along. He had no interest in that puppet body; he not only wanted to resurrect but also wanted the Ten Thousand Beast Flame!

How could he hand it over that easily?

As a member of the Yao Clan, possessing the body of a fellow clan member was naturally the most suitable choice for him.

Although the integration of soul and body after possession would be troublesome, he believed that with his skills as a 7th-tier alchemist, he would find a way to solve it.

Boom!! The scarlet Ten Thousand Beast Flame surged into Yao Li from his seven apertures. The light from the Clan Mark couldn't hinder it at all.

Xiao Yan swallowed. This Yao Ao was too ruthless, not even sparing his own clan's descendant! He was going to directly erase Yao Li's soul and take over his body!

"Three hundred years! I've been trapped in this underground without seeing the sun for a full three hundred years! I can finally return to the clan and see the light of day again!!" Yao Li roared into the sky—no, it should be Yao Ao now.

Then, a meaningful smile played on his lips as his gaze fixed intently on Xiao Yan. That smile sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine.

"Your name is Mu Long, right? Have you ever heard of the Mighty Huang Pill?"

Mu Long's eyes narrowed as he exclaimed, "The Mighty Huang Pill that can directly increase the cultivation of a Dou Emperor by one star?!"

"Take care of that Amethyst Winged Lion King for me, and I will refine a Mighty Huang Pill for you."

Exposed!!!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth in frustration. He knew his cover was likely blown. The eyes of a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist were too sharp. Or perhaps Yao Ao's Spiritual State had already reached the Soul State, and the Soul Robe couldn't conceal him, so he was seen through!

Yao Li's cultivation had only reached the Dou Spirit realm. Even if Yao Ao took over his body, it would be difficult to increase his strength significantly in a short period. He definitely wouldn't be able to reach his original Dou Ancestor realm, and even the Dou Emperor realm would be hard.

So the real key lay with that 7-star Dou Emperor. He was the strongest one here!

'This is bad...' When Xiao Yan saw the greedy and resolute look in Mu Long's eyes, he once again realized that medicinal pills could truly make people lose their minds and become utterly obedient!
