Suddenly, space twisted. A man in black robes appeared in front of Xiao Ting without warning.
This was spatial teleportation — the ability to instantly move a certain distance through the void, something only a six-star Dou Saint could do.
"Die!"
The man in black robes raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Ting's forehead.
But in the next moment, Xiao Ting's figure disappeared, and in his place appeared Fairy Huo Ling. She raised her hand and gently waved it.
"Boom!"
With a slight expansion, a terrifying collision of energy occurred, directly shattering the vast void behind the two of them, as if the entire sky had suddenly been torn apart.
"Hun Yao, how dare you launch a surprise attack on me in front of this fairy? Do you think I'm dead?"
Fairy Huo Ling spoke in a cold voice. What suddenly moved was a seven-star early-stage Dou Saint of the Hun Clan.
"Hmph!"
After failing his first attack, Hun Yao refused to continue and immediately began retreating at high speed.
At that moment, an old man leaning on a staff suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ting.
"Hun Qian Mo, how dare you do such a thing!" Fairy Huo Ling smiled, but her eyes burned with anger.
In reality, it was Hun Yao who had tricked him into acting. The one who had truly tried to kill Xiao Ting was Hun Qian Mo, a six-star Dou Saint of the Hun Clan.
This showed that the matter of the Devouring Spirit Eliminating Life Formation Xiao Ting had mentioned earlier was no small issue — the Hun Clan needed to be silenced.
Fairy Huo Ling had tried to rush over to help, but she noticed that the surrounding void was distorting and realized it was the power of a seven-star Dou Saint.
"Soul Nightmare Barrier!"
A tremendous amount of Battle Qi erupted from Fairy Huo Ling's body, transforming into blood-red lotus flowers that shattered the unique barrier formed by the power of heaven and earth surrounding her.
Everything had happened so quickly that she missed the chance to save Xiao Ting from Hun Qian Mo's attack.
Despite Hun Qian Mo's attack, Xiao Ting's expression remained unchanged.
He was now in the state of "Heaven and Earth Law," where his essence, energy, and spirit had fused, making him comparable to a four-star Dou Saint.
Of course, in the Dou Saint realm, there was a truly massive gap between each star, and this gap became even more pronounced at higher levels.
Under normal circumstances, even if he were at the late stage of five-cycle Dou Saint, he would have been lucky to escape from Hun Qian Mo. He would be considered skilled just for escaping, not for having the power to fight a four-star Dou Saint.
However, his soul realm had reached the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and his eyes could keep up with Hun Qian Mo's speed and clearly see through the latter's movements.
"Now!"
Xiao Ting had no way to dodge. With just a thought, he directly summoned the Burning Flame Saint Stele inside his body.
"Seal!"
Xiao Ting's body instantly expanded to a thousand feet. The Burning Flame Saint Stele in his hand also exceeded a thousand feet, sealing the space within a hundred-mile radius. Then, he transformed into flame and lightning and fell.
Hun Qian Mo tried to leave, but realized that space was blocked and he couldn't move at all. What was falling toward him was not just a flame stele, but seemed like the strike of an enraged seven-star Dou Saint.
Bang!
The flame stele crashed down and swallowed Hun Qian Mo inside it. Flame patterns then appeared on its surface, forming a unique seal.
"Let me out!"
Trapped in an unfamiliar space, Hun Qian Mo desperately mobilized his inner Battle Qi to attack the barrier, but no matter what he did, he was enveloped in flames.
Not only that, purple flame and silver lightning erupted from around him. Their power was no less than that of black demonic lightning or Dou Saint-level Heavenly Flame.
"Hun Qian Mo, you can just wait here to die," Xiao Ting sneered.
The Burning Flame Saint Stele had been refined by him using Purple Beast Flame. It was forged by a half-God using a ninth-rank natural treasure with fire and thunder attributes, and could withstand the opening of a small world and the inheritance of Heaven-rank cultivation methods and battle skills. It was truly a sacred artifact.
When a sacred artifact was unleashed, it carried traces of Dou Saint-level power and could serve as a trump card for many Dou God clans and powerful forces.
In terms of grade, the "Burning Flame Saint Stele" was considered a mid-grade sacred relic rather than a high-grade one.
If used by a peak Dou Venerable, it could withstand attacks from a half-Saint or even a one-star Dou Saint.
He had used the Heaven and Earth Law and Purple Beast Flame to catch this six-star Dou Saint off guard, but that was his limit.
However, once his cultivation reached the fourth stage of Dou Saint, he would be able to use the Burning Flame Saint Stele to refine that old dog, Hun Qian Mo.
For now, even Hun Qian Mo could not escape from the Purple Beast Flame prison inside the ninth-rank flame-and-lightning Burning Flame Saint Stele.
"Retrieve!" Xiao Ting raised his hand, took the Burning Flame Saint Stele back into his soul, and looked around.
Everyone present: "…"
If he could suppress even a six-star Dou Saint like Hun Qian Mo, then killing them would be even easier.
They thought he was a genius who had just appeared in the Dou Saint realm, but he was terrifyingly powerful.
Even among the Ancient Clans, a one-star Dou Saint who could fight evenly against a two-star Dou Saint using Heaven-rank cultivation methods was considered an achievement of a top-tier genius.
If one had enough power to contend with a three-star Dou Saint, that person would be a dragon among men, the hope of the entire clan, and possessed the potential to become a Dou God.
And this one-star Dou Saint who could suppress a three-star Dou Saint was still not even twenty years old…
The suppression of Hun Qian Mo was achieved through external power, so it could not be counted as standard combat strength.
At this moment, Xiao Ting calmly said, "Kill people to silence them, is that it? Well, that makes sense."
"If Hun Tiandi knew about this situation, he would definitely want to kill me. After all, the Devouring Spirit Eliminating Life Formation is related to his plan to break through to the Dou God realm, a plan that began thousands of years ago. It officially started after my Xiao Clan was destroyed."
Shhh!.
Upon hearing this, the powerful warriors from all sides were all shocked.
In reality, Hun Tiandi was involved, and it was also related to becoming God.
"This is interesting. No wonder even a seven-star Dou Saint acted without hesitation."
Fairy Huo Ling raised her hand, summoned a token, and crushed it!
In the next moment, a spatial passage opened. Soul force surged in and instantly condensed into a human form — a burly middle-aged man with a distinctive mole between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong, little sister?" the middle-aged man asked.
The only person who could speak to Fairy Huo Ling like this was naturally the Yan Clan Leader, Huo Zhi's father, and a late-stage eight-star Dou Saint — Yan Jin.
"The Hun clan might be plotting to silence your future son-in-law. That's why I called you here first. Bring the clan's imperial artifact and be ready to join the battle at any time," Fairy Huo Ling replied.
"Oh?" Yan Jin's eyes showed surprise. His gaze swept across the void before finally stopping on Xiao Ting.
"Your physique… is no less than that of the Lei Clan's barbarians, and it even feels similar in nature. But I sense it has been tempered not only by lightning but also by fire. You should be able to directly contend with a ninth-rank magical beast."
"His cultivation has reached the peak of one-star Dou Saint, and his soul has actually reached the late stage of the Heavenly Realm."
"I never expected that someone like you would be born from the fallen Xiao Clan. If the Xiao Clan had someone like you a thousand years ago, Brother Xiao Xuan probably wouldn't have rushed to break through to the Dou God level and would have waited for you to grow up."
"This child, looking at him, is definitely my daughter's type. I really have good taste."
Huo Zhi: "…"
That was clearly because I have good taste. What does that have to do with your daughter?
"What are you boasting about?" Fairy Huo Ling mercilessly exposed Yan Jin. "When you first heard the news that Xiao Zhi Er and Gu Yuan's daughter had taken a liking to the Xiao Clan's son, you were furious. Only after I stopped you and told you that he had broken through to Dou Venerable at a young age and possessed a Heavenly Realm soul did you decide to wait and see. And now you're saying you have good taste?"
