Chapter 531: Entering

As Xiao Ming left Holy Pill City...

Various major sects and forces were now mobilizing in large numbers across the Central Plains.

As groups of figures soared through the air one after the other, the sky echoed with the whistling sound of breaking wind.

Their destinations were surprisingly consistent, all pointing to the northwest of the Central Plains!

The previous commotion had stirred up the entire Central Plains...

However, not every faction had experts in the Dou Saint realm. Even if they were fast, it would take them a long time to reach the northwest.

By the time they reached the place where the Demonic Flame was descending, things would probably be over.

Their efforts were bound to be in vain.

...

Whoosh!

The pristine azure sky suddenly cracked open to reveal a pitch-black space channel, followed by several figures emerging from it.

Xiao Ming, who was leading the group, raised his head and looked ahead.

The lush mountain range that had existed not so long ago was nowhere to be seen.

Some areas had been reduced to nothing more than milky-white magma, with occasional bubbles rolling up and releasing streams of extremely scorching air.

A blinding light resembling the brilliance of the sun shone from above. A terrifying temperature rose from the magma, distorting space for thousands of miles around.

Even though the experts on this expedition were all in the Dou Saint realm, which was already impervious to extreme heat or cold, they could still feel the scorching atmosphere.

"The Demonic Flame is truly terrifying. In such a short time, it has turned all the nearby mountains into molten rock. The residual heat alone is enough to make it difficult for even a Dou Venerate to resist. I wonder how terrifying its true form is..."

The First Elder and the others couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the huge magma pool appearing before their eyes, their faces filled with astonishment.

"The fact that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame can rank third in the Heavenly Flame Ranking is not a false reputation. Those milky-white lights are just some residual heat from it..."

When the First Elder and the others heard this, even though they were in the Dou Saint realm, they couldn't help but show some changes in their expressions. They might be able to change the terrain, but to turn mountains into magma with nothing but residual heat was far beyond their abilities.

If the temperature outside was so terrifying, what would it be like inside this realm?

Standing next to them, Xiao Ming didn't need to see their facial expressions to know what they were thinking. In fact, although he had brought them with him, he would not be relying on them at all.

Otherwise, Xiao Ming feared that they would all be enslaved by the Demonic Flame during his battle with Hun Tiandi.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was indeed quite formidable.

Xiao Ming, who was about to leave the others here, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked to his right. He noticed a green bull carrying a young boy charging towards them from a distance with lightning-like speed.

The First Elder also looked over and recognized the person with great joy.

"Ancestor, why are you here?"

The Pill Tower Ancestor arrived at the front of the group, casting a surprised glance at Xiao Ming before saying, "I have been keeping an eye on this area for many years to prevent the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame from falling into the hands of the Hun Clan. But... sigh, now is not the time to discuss this. Hun Tiandi has just entered..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the magma, where a faint milky-white halo could be seen.

"Since that's the case, let's hurry and go in."

There was no time for idle talk. With the Pill Tower Ancestor now present, the First Elder and the others wouldn't be easily wiped out by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. Xiao Ming moved first, quickly entering the milky-white halo and disappearing from sight.

The Pill Tower Ancestor was somewhat stunned by Xiao Ming's actions.

The First Elder saw this and quickly explained Xiao Ming's strength to him, and only then did the Pill Tower Ancestor nod in understanding.

"His strength has made another breakthrough. He is a truly gifted genius. In that case, let's go in as well. Legend has it that the Purifying Demonic Lotus uses a person's emotions as a source to form the demonic flame within the human body. Once the demonic flame appears in the body, even the soul will be burned to nothingness.

So after entering that space, no matter what you see, try to maintain a calm state of mind. Don't get excited or sad. Control any emotions of joy, anger, sadness, or resentment as much as possible. Otherwise, these emotions will attract the demonic flame to your body!"

"Oh?"

The expressions of the First Elder and the others subtly changed upon hearing this. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was too mysterious, and even they were not well informed about it. However, they hadn't expected that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame could use a person's emotions as its source. Such a strange method truly lived up to its name as a demonic flame.

"Damn! Xiao Ming doesn't know about this!" The First Elder's face changed.

"Don't worry, he's much better at playing with fire than we are. We just have to be careful ourselves later." The Nine-Tailed Fox Saint, on the other hand, was not too worried.

"That's true." With those words, several rays of light quickly entered the halo.

Not long after they left, more rays of light flew in from a distance. Xiao Ming's group was the fastest to arrive in this area, and these newcomers were powerful individuals from the nearby regions.

However, the number of these experts was limited. Just resisting the residual heat of the demonic flame consumed a considerable amount of Dou Qi. In the end, only a few had the courage to enter the Demonic Flame Realm.

...

The moment his body entered the halo, Xiao Ming's entire skin suddenly tensed.

It took only a split second to travel through the halo. The space around him had already changed as the light in front of his eyes flickered slightly.

The first sensation Xiao Ming had as a result of the change in space was that of entering a furnace. His gaze swept around quickly, revealing that he was in a strange space filled with milky-white flames.

This area was completely engulfed in milky-white flames, and even someone like him, who had devoured several kinds of Heavenly Flame, felt a slight warmth at this moment. It was the heat emitted by those milky-white flames.

"This is an illusion. Quite interesting."

As Xiao Ming felt the wisps of flame subtly infiltrating his body through the air, he did not resist. With a thought, a terrifying devouring force surged through his body. All the demonic flames that entered his body were instantly absorbed.

The Rise of Twin Spirits was this terrifying. As it progressed, Xiao Ming's own devouring ability became stronger, even without the aid of the 'Spirit.'

Now, Xiao Ming was certain that the Rise of Twin Spirits he was practicing was not just a Di Class Qi Method. As for which class it belonged to, he couldn't be sure. Perhaps there would be clues after he entered the Great Thousand World.

With the disappearance of the demonic flame in his body, the world in front of him suddenly changed. The milky-white sea of flames disappeared, replaced by a milky-white fog that covered an area of several dozen meters.

He quickly scanned the fog for Hun Tiandi, but there was no sign of him. It was clear that he would not be so easily trapped by such tricks.

Without a moment's hesitation, he flew to the edge of the fog. After all, there was still the elder of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Chen, within the Demonic Flame Realm. It wouldn't be good if he were to get killed in the middle of all this...
