Chapter 254: Refining Sky Ancient Formation, the Appearance of the Demon Saint!
"Little friend Ziyan, the seal here was placed by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint. It's incredibly difficult to break through. The Demonic Flame only managed to tear the space apart by harnessing the power of the tides of heaven and earth," said the Pill Tower Ancestor to Ziyan.
"As the tides recede, the seal will naturally restore itself. All we need to do is stall the Demonic Flame until then!"
"No problem, keeping it stuck here won't be hard at all," Ziyan replied confidently. She could sense that the strength of the Demonic Flame was only at the peak of a Five-Star Dou Saint or the beginning of Six-Star Dou Saint. If it weren't for the power of its Heavenly Flame, ranked third on the Flame Ranking, Ziyan was confident she could cripple it in just a few moves.
"Hmph, you think you can stall me? Let's see if you even have the strength!" The Demonic Flame sneered.
With a fierce transformation of his hands, the milky-white flames in the air quickly condensed into a colossal flame giant, towering tens of thousands of feet tall.
"Flame Demon Avatar!"
The giant planted its feet deep into the sea of magma below, exuding an overwhelming aura.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Die!" the Demonic Flame roared, standing atop the giant's head. He looked down at the tiny figures below, like ants, and grinned sinisterly as the massive fist of the Flame Demon Avatar crashed down towards the Pill Tower Ancestor and Ziyan like a mountain.
"The Demonic Flame wasn't even using its full strength earlier..." The ancient clan Dou Saints watching from afar were all stunned, feeling the terrifying power in the giant's punch.
However, Gu Fei wasn't worried. With Ziyan's strength, even the Demonic Flame couldn't harm her, a powerful Six-Star Dou Saint Dragon-Phoenix hybrid. Unless, of course, it activated the Refining Sky Ancient Formation.
The Pill Tower Ancestor hovered in the sky, facing the massive descending fist. His mouth opened, and a brilliant golden light shot out, transforming into a vast golden barrier that enveloped the sky.
"Boom!"
The mountain-like fist slammed into the golden shield, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.
"Pill Merging Sky!" The Pill Tower Ancestor raised a finger, and a drop of greenish blood seeped from his pores. In that deep green color, there was a faint trace of gold.
As the drop of blood shot forward, it rapidly expanded into a massive green light beam, smashing into the Flame Demon Avatar's chest.
Immediately, the green light spread out, and the giant flame body began to melt, with nearly half of it dissolving on the spot.
"The old demon's power is terrifying! He can even melt the Demonic Flame!" Hun Miesheng, watching from a distance, couldn't help but grow serious. Even as a master of the Central Plains, he couldn't join this level of battle and could only observe.
In the natural order of things, a medicine pill like the Pill Tower Ancestor should fear powerful flames. But now, the situation had been reversed.
"Not bad, old man!" Ziyan smirked, seeing the Ancestor injure the Demonic Flame. She wanted to show off too. Her hands flashed with rapid gestures, and her terrifying Dou Qi quickly condensed into a colossal purple-gold dragon that charged at the Flame Demon Avatar.
"Roar!"
The purple-gold dragon, thousands of feet long, smashed into the flame giant, pushing it back dozens of steps. Its body became even more ethereal after the strike.
After the combined attacks from Ziyan and the Patriarch, the Demonic Flame was clearly at a disadvantage.
"It looks like the Demonic Flame might really be subdued this time!"
"Yes, after thousands of years, we've never had such success!"
Seeing the results of the battle, many onlookers assumed that the fight was nearly over.
"Roar!" The severely wounded Demon Flame let out a furious roar. "Anyone who dares to stop me from escaping today will be burned alive!"
Suddenly, he shot into the sky, and countless streaks of milky-white flames erupted, shooting into every corner of the space.
"Refining Sky Ancient Formation, reveal yourself!"
As the flames shot deep into the space, the Demonic Flame bellowed, and the entire space began to rumble.
A colossal formation, tens of thousands of feet wide, slowly emerged from the void.
"Boom!"
As the formation appeared in the sky, the magma sea below also began to churn. To everyone's shock, another massive formation surfaced from the depths of the magma. "The sky and the earth are sealed. The Demonic Flame plans to trap us all here..." The faces of the onlookers darkened as the two formations appeared above and below them.
"Haha, old ghost, and you little Ancient Void Dragon brat! I bet you didn't expect this- this Refining Sky Ancient Formation, created by the Demon Saint himself, is now under my control!" The Demonic Flame laughed wildly. "Over thousands of years, I've unraveled the secrets of this formation. Within this space, who can oppose me?"
The ancient formation rotated, covering the heavens and the earth. The Demonic Flame's maniacal laughter echoed as the gravity of the situation hit the onlookers, who all felt a chill. Even Ziyan and the Pill Tower Ancestor couldn't hide their serious expressions. This formation was powerful enough to overwhelm even a Six-Star Dou Saint.
As the formations closed in from both sides, there was only one thought in the minds of most people: run!
Hun Miesheng and Hun Feng fled frantically, trying to escape the formation's range. Even some of the ancient clan Dou Saint elders hesitated before gritting their teeth and following
suit.
"Demon Saint, it's time for you to show yourself!" Gu Fei muttered, touching his forehead. In that moment, a strange light began to pulse within his mind.
"Haha, too late to run now! I'll turn every one of you into my flame slaves!" The Demonic Flame's laughter echoed from the sky. With a flick of his finger, a blazing white magma pillar shot out from the lower formation like a thunderbolt, shattering the space's exit.
"It's over!"
"This space was created by the Demon Saint. Without an exit, not even our clan leaders could open it!"
Despair filled the faces of the ancient clan Dou Saint elders as they realized the exit had been destroyed.
"There's still a chance! Don't give up!" The Pill Tower Ancestor called out. "Ziyan, the Demon Saint left two parts to this Refining Sky Ancient Formation- one for the sky, and one for the earth. I'll take care of the sky, you handle the earth!"
