"What... what is happening?" Fire Spirit Ancestor's expression twisted in shock as he stared at the dimmed Ancient Flame Dragon War Halberd in his hand. Under the oppressive might of that demonic sword, the power of his peerless Saint weapon had been suppressed to below even the level of a Spiritual-grade artifact. In a clash between Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, such a weapon deficit was undeniably fatal.
"Looks like I really chose the right weapon this time." Xiao Yan flicked the demonic sword in his hand with a faint smile. He hadn't chosen the Heavy Xuan Ruler because he wanted to test this weapon's potential. Unexpectedly, the result was so effective that it suppressed the opponent's Saint weapon completely, rendering it unable to lift its head. Even Xiao Yan found this outcome pleasantly surprising.
Gritting his teeth, Fire Spirit Ancestor finally put away his Ancient Flame Dragon War Halberd. It was clear that this Saint weapon would serve no purpose in this fight. Since that was the case, he might as well discard it and rely on his own strength to confront Xiao Yan. As he formed a hand seal, scarlet spiritual energy surged like molten lava and quickly transformed into a towering Sovereign Body tens of thousands of zhang high.
This Sovereign Body was dotted with erupting volcanoes, its blazing crimson light condensed into what looked like a radiant sun from afar—eye-piercingly brilliant. The moment it appeared, the abandoned continent beneath began to melt, revealing the terrifying intensity of its heat.
This was Fire Spirit Ancestor's cultivated Sovereign Body: the Blazing Sun Incinerating Body. Among the 99 ranked Sovereign Bodys in the Great Thousand World, it ranked sixteenth—a true top-tier avatar. Powered by a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign like Fire Spirit Ancestor, its might could incinerate heaven and boil seas. His immediate summoning of this avatar showed the level of fear and respect he had for Xiao Yan.
However, what Fire Spirit Ancestor didn't know was that Xiao Yan had once directly shattered the defenses of the Endless Radiant Body. Though powerful, the Blazing Sun Incinerating Body still paled in comparison to the Endless Radiant Body, considered the number one primitive avatar in the Great Thousand World. If Xiao Yan didn't fear that one, what threat could this avatar pose?
So when that blazing Sovereign Body emerged, Xiao Yan remained unshaken. He even withdrew his demonic sword and calmly waited for Fire Spirit Ancestor's next move. Seeing Xiao Yan make no move to summon a Sovereign Body, Fire Spirit Ancestor quickly changed his hand seals. Instantly, all the crimson light surrounding the Blazing Sun Incinerating Body converged above its head, forming a colossal sphere of light spanning millions of li, which then hurtled down toward Xiao Yan like a fallen sun.
"Sovereign Divine Art: Solar Heaven-Burning Descent!"
Though not among the top thirty-six ultimate divine arts, any divine ability derived from a top-ranked Sovereign Body was still incomparably terrifying. Especially when executed by someone of Fire Spirit Ancestor's stature—it could reduce the entire continent to ash. Even another Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign would feel threatened by this strike.
But Xiao Yan? Even when he was merely at the Spiritual-grade Heavenly Sovereign stage, he had slain the late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor. And now his strength had fully ascended into the Saint-grade. Moreover, Xiao Yan was a master of flame control. This so-called Solar Heaven-Burning Descent might appear dreadful to others, but to Xiao Yan, it was nothing special.
Raising his hand slowly, a radiant flame surged forth from Xiao Yan's palm. When Fire Spirit Ancestor saw this flame, his pupils contracted. He could instantly sense that this fire surpassed even the ancestral divine flame of the Fire Spirit Clan in intensity and purity.
As awe gripped him, the flame in Xiao Yan's hand rapidly condensed into a beautiful lotus. Despite no perceivable temperature rise in the surroundings, Fire Spirit Ancestor could clearly feel the space of the entire lower plane beginning to melt under its presence.
Even stranger—just gazing upon the fire lotus caused the spiritual energy of some watching elder-level Dou Zun cultivators to boil uncontrollably, nearing combustion. Alarmed, they quickly turned their heads away. Even for a Heavenly Sovereign, self-igniting spiritual energy was an extremely dangerous phenomenon.
Once the lotus was formed, Xiao Yan flicked his finger. That tiny lotus, no bigger than a palm, floated toward the enormous solar orb hurtling from the sky.
And then it happened.
Before everyone's stunned eyes, the sun-like energy ball—a doomsday weapon spanning millions of li—was ignited by the fire lotus upon contact. In the next moment, it shattered like fragile glass under the lotus's silent detonation, disintegrating into countless motes of light and vanishing into the air.
That fearsome Sovereign Divine Art, one that even mid-tier Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns would treat with caution, couldn't last even sixty seconds under Xiao Yan's hand. The disparity was so great that some of the Fire Spirit Clan elders began to suspect if their ancestor was going easy on his opponent.
But soon, realization struck. If even Fire Spirit Ancestor couldn't withstand this man, then the clan's ancestral divine flame would certainly be lost.
"What… what kind of flame is that?" Fire Spirit Ancestor asked in a daze, staring at the fire lotus, which still pulsed with overwhelming might after having incinerated the solar attack.
Their exchange had lasted only one round, yet he already knew—the fight was over. Even if he had more trump cards, none would change the outcome. More importantly, Xiao Yan hadn't even used a Sovereign Body.
Of course, Fire Spirit Ancestor was unaware that due to the repulsion of the natural laws, Xiao Yan was unable to cultivate a Sovereign Body at all. But even if he knew, it wouldn't have changed the conclusion. Xiao Yan held a demonic sword that could suppress Saint artifacts and a flame that could dissolve divine abilities.
"Emperor Flame," Xiao Yan replied, lips curving into a faint smile.
"Emperor Flame, huh... fitting. A fire worthy of ruling all others. The name suits it well." Fire Spirit Ancestor sighed deeply, looking like he had aged ten thousand years in an instant. "At this point, I must admit, your mastery over flame surpasses even my Fire Spirit Clan. We… have lost."
"Thank you for conceding." Xiao Yan nodded politely. "As agreed in the bet, I will now accept your clan's ancestral divine flame."
