Flame Divide Wave Ruler!
Xiao Yan took out his xuan heavy ruler and smashed it fiercely towards Hun Yi, who shook his head slightly, as if disdainful of Xiao Yan's attack.
A dense black mist suddenly appeared behind his body, and several black chains flew out from it.
Three chains formed a shield to block the hundred-zhang-sized ruler glow, and another chain glowed with a silver fire.
Xiao Yan's pupils contracted, and the silver light reflected in his eyes; the chain pierced through space and arrived before his chest in the blink of an eye.
He distorted his body, used the xuan heavy ruler to deflect the chain, and then activated the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body, splitting into four figures that rushed forward simultaneously.
More chains emerged from Hun Yi's black mist, precisely piercing each clone, and under the power of Space Fire, all the chains arrived instantly, so even though the illusionary body's speed was based on the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, it still couldn't evade.
Xiao Yan's body was also pierced, and a chilling sensation invaded his body and soul, seemingly intending to freeze him.
Hun Yi seized the opportunity and formed profound and complex hand seals.
A terrifying power began to gather, and the energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, roaring as it formed a sphere in his hand, within which complex patterns were faintly visible, seemingly formed by the superposition of the hand seals Hun Yi had just performed.
Dark Soul Chapter!
By the time Xiao Yan used his Heavenly Flame to clear the foreign substance from his body, Hun Yi's hand seals were mostly complete, and he looked at the powerful Dou Technique, which likely reached the Heavenly Rank, with a solemn expression, not retreating but advancing instead.
With a raised hand, a beautiful three-colored Fire Lotus appeared in his palm; this was created by Qing Meng and was extremely stable, making it effortless to control.
Black-purple flames emerged from his left hand—the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire he had just obtained—and he pressed the black-purple flames onto the Fire Lotus.
The new four-colored Fire Lotus was extremely unstable, almost exploding as soon as it left his hand!
Hun Yi hadn't expected Xiao Yan to make such a crazy move; this was practically suicide!
The black sphere containing profound patterns and the Fire Lotus collided between the two individuals, at an extremely close distance to both, transforming into chaotic and violent energy that engulfed them both.
At the last moment, Xiao Yan slightly adjusted his position, using his body to shield Xiao Meng's direction, thereby reducing the impact on her side.
The shockwave easily tore through the room, and a scorching fire cloud soared into the sky. Hot dust filled the room, lingering for a long time.
Qing Meng, carrying the Azure Lotus Core Flame, left Xiao Yan's body under his instruction, transforming into flames that encircled Xiao Meng, protecting her.
As the fire cloud gradually dispersed, Hun Yi's body had been charred by the scorching power, with most of his skin and flesh gone, revealing his internal organs, bones, and teeth...
Xiao Yan looked slightly better; having refined Heavenly Flames, he was mostly immune to light and heat-based damage, but he wasn't much better off, with his skin also gone and most of his flesh melted away, revealing his internal organs, bones, and teeth.
However, a black-purple flame burned on his body, continuously repairing his body and bringing surging vitality to his On the verge of collapse body.
This was the power of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire!
The Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire is also known as the Undying Flame, capable of granting its refiner a powerful body comparable to a magical beast and an almost immortal recovery ability.
It is said that as long as there is still a breath left, one can recover!
"Bastard, you dare to destroy my physical body!" A soul body floated out from Hun Yi's charred corpse, letting out a terrifying scream filled with murderous intent.
As a member of the Soul Clan, although he hadn't cultivated techniques specifically for soul bodies, even if only his soul remained, he could still exert decent combat power.
At the very least, dealing with the currently immobile Xiao Yan was more than enough!
Just as he was about to act, his movement suddenly paused, and his soul convulsed and distorted, emitting painful, shrill cries.
The silver flame, as if possessing self-awareness, emerged from his soul, detached from his body, and flew towards Xiao Yan's back.
Xiao Meng had woken up at some point and stumbled over, surrounded by the Azure Lotus Core Flame.
She slightly raised her right hand, retrieving the surging silver flame, and gave Hun Yi a mocking smile:
"Fool, my flame is different from ordinary Heavenly Flames. Without exceptionally powerful spirit power or special cultivation techniques, you cannot erase the imprint within it."
"Meng Ya!" Qing Meng returned to Xiao Yan's body, extracting the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Sea Heart Flame.
The fused Heavenly Flames had higher temperatures and greater lethality, but the special properties of the flames themselves would be somewhat reduced. By extracting those flames, the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire's repair of the body would be faster.
Hun Yi finally recovered from the intense pain in his soul, and at this moment, Xiao Yan also regained some mobility, a faint smile seemingly appearing on his charred, skeletal face:
"It seems I've won."
"Damn it!" Hun Yi's soul body turned around and fled.
Xiao Yan did not pursue; his current state was also very poor, and he didn't have much energy left.
"Young Master Xiao Yan…" Xiao Meng looked at Xiao Yan, who resembled a charred corpse, with a pained expression.
"Xiao Meng, there's no time to lose, let's leave quickly!" There were a thousand words he wanted to say in his heart, but the situation was urgent, so Xiao Yan could only suppress those words.
Qing Meng returned to Xiao Yan's body, temporarily filling in the missing parts of Xiao Yan's body with the Heavenly Flame so that his injuries would not affect his movement.
Can Heavenly Flames be used like this? Xiao Yan was startled in his heart, vaguely forming an immature idea.
He put one arm around Xiao Meng's waist, holding her in his embrace, and swiftly shot outwards.
Iron Sword Venerable immediately came to meet them, with sword shadows blocking the Soul Hall Protector who attempted to approach, while other guest Elders of Starcloud Pavilion also cast their Dou Technique to hold back the Honored Elder of the Soul Hall.
Just then, a resentful and maddened voice rang out from behind Xiao Yan, and terrifying spirit power surged towards him like a tide.
"Xiao Yan, die with me, come and accompany me, you can't escape!"
It was Hun Yi; his strength had declined after his physical body was destroyed, and he had no room for further improvement, unwilling to accept such a future, preferring to drag the instigator to death with him now!
He performed a secret technique, merging himself into the Soul Hall's soul origin, not only the purified ones but also the unprocessed, mottled souls containing a large amount of will.
Mad and chaotic emotions filled his mind, and he had almost no other thoughts, only one obsession left... kill Xiao Yan, and make him pay the price!
The terrifying spirit power was so oppressive that people couldn't breathe, even the two Honored Elders, who had stopped several guest Elders of Starcloud Pavilion and whose strength had reached Nine-Star Dou Venerable, felt immense pressure.
The soul pressure released by the maddened Hun Yi was pressing down on everyone, regardless of friend or foe!
"That bastard! Who allowed him to use those soul origins?" The Fifth Honored Elder's face was grim.
He didn't care if Hun Yi died, but those soul origins were hard-earned, the accumulation of several years for the entire Earth Hall and its many subordinate halls! If they were destroyed, let alone him, even the Deputy Hall Master would be punished.
"Bastard!" The Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master's face was ashen; he knew what Hun Yi wanted to do and immediately rushed downwards.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame suddenly surged, forming a wall of fire that blocked his path.
Although Yao Chen was also worried about Xiao Yan, he knew his most important task was to stop the Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master.
The power that a maddened Heavenly Realm soul body could exert would not reach that of a Half-Saint. Although dangerous, it was not without a chance of survival. If the Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master, a late-stage Three-Star Dou Saint, were to slap Xiao Yan, it would truly be a certain death!
The Soul Hall Deputy Hall Master was furious...
Damn it, I want to save someone! Don't you care about your disciple's life? Yao Chen, you fool!
Hun Yi had now transformed into a soul aggregate, with countless hideous souls wailing and screaming, emitting chilling sounds. They only had upper bodies, while their lower bodies were long, black, ribbon-like mists, like monsters with human torsos and snake tails.
The black, ribbon-like mist, like a comet's tail, was tightly intertwined, binding the soul bodies and preventing them from escaping.
Those scarlet eyes emitted terrifying light, filled with intense malice and strong desires.
Xiao Yan's gaze was solemn, but he wasn't overly afraid; the Fallen Heart Flame was precisely the bane of this type of soul body!
Just as he was about to use the Fallen Heart Flame to burn the opponent, this soul body suddenly began to collapse, its volume continuously shrinking, finally transforming into a black beam of light that shot violently towards Xiao Yan.
Hun Yi had no intention of killing Xiao Yan by relying on his surging spirit power; he wanted to merge his own spirit and that massive, chaotic will into Xiao Yan's body, destroying his spirit and turning him into one of those countless evil souls.
That slender black beam of light was like a sharp arrow, shattering all obstacles in its path, shooting towards Xiao Yan with an unstoppable force.
Its speed was so fast that it gave one the feeling of being unavoidable, with no escape.
Just as the light beam was about to land on Xiao Yan, Xiao Meng suddenly burst forth with her last ounce of strength, turned around, and used her body to block it.
"It's you, is it worth it? For your Young Master Xiao Yan? But you'll do too, let's merge forever, in the form of a soul." Hun Yi's voice, filled with intense malice, echoed in Xiao Meng's mind.
A hint of blood flashed in Xiao Meng's eyes; she struggled to maintain her state, balancing the countless chaotic spirits that had just merged into her.
Many thoughts that didn't belong to her appeared out of nowhere, sweeping over her like a tsunami, almost engulfing her.
"Xiao Meng, are you alright, Xiao Meng…" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened, his expression panicked, and his voice urgent.
"I'm not…" Xiao Meng's pale face revealed a bitter smile: "Young Master Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, Xiao Meng probably… gasp… probably won't be able to accompany you… gasp… accompany you further."
She had to stop and gasp violently every few words, her delicate body trembling non-stop.
Those tremors made Xiao Yan also tremble nervously, and a huge despair surged in his heart.
