Chapter 619: Finding Xiao Chen
As someone took the lead, they charged towards the giant milky white gate. Hundreds of magnificent energy whips were launched, striking the gate and causing it to shatter loudly. With the destruction of the milky white gate, the fire minions that kept rushing out suddenly halted their charge. Everyone hurriedly moved towards the passageway behind the gate. Although these fire minions posed little threat in the short term, as they could be easily wiped out with a wave of the hand, they seemed endless impossible to kill off completely!
The natural energy within the Demonic Flame Space was saturated with the power of the demonic flame. Even Dou Saints dared not absorb this energy infused with demonic flame power carelessly. If too much demonic flame power accumulated within the body, it could ignite at any moment, burning both their vitality and soul to nothing. Hence, unless absolutely necessary, one would not assimilate this natural energy.
In such circumstances, facing an endless onslaught of fire minions would only continuously drain their inner strength, leading inevitably to death. Thus, entering through the milky white gate was the only option.
In the Dan League's group, although Xiao Ze and Medusa were unable to take action, their large numbers made it easy to handle the situation. Standing in front of the vast hall of demonic flames, Xiao Ze and his companions paused. They frowned at the sight of the thousands of feet tall hall, teeming with densely packed fire minions.
These fire minions were interlinked by their auras, forming a massive milky white dragon in the air above them, exuding a ferocious killing intent.
"How many demonic flame halls have we stormed through already?" Xiao Yan asked, his voice numb with fatigue.
"Over twenty," Zi Yan replied, holding her dragon spear, her gaze equally solemn. The strength of the fire minions had reached the Dou Zun level, posing a significant challenge even to Dou Saints. Despite their large numbers and having stormed through many halls, some in the group felt increasingly desensitized to the danger.
However, seeing Xiao Ze among them buoyed their spirits. Although he had not taken action along the way, his presence alone dispelled their fears. Zi Yan's dragon spear tore through the air, creating a massive tear hundreds of feet long as they began their assault on the hall. The team followed her lead, and she made a gap through the dense crowd of fire minions.
They charged to the end of the hall, where Zi Yan swung her spear, shattering a massive door at the back of the hall. As they moved through, the scene inside the hall stopped her in her tracks. Unlike the uniform ranks of fire minions they had faced before, this hall contained only one figure.
The figure was thin and stood upright, exuding a terrifying aura like a vast mountain range. "A Four Star Dou Saint!" Zi Yan gripped her dragon spear tighter.
The others tensed as well, recognizing the strongest fire minion they had encountered in any of the demonic flame halls. Elder Gu Nanhai stepped forward and said to Zi Yan, "This must be the final challenge of the demonic flame hall. If we overcome this, we should be able to see the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame itself."
"Let's join forces to see if we can quickly subdue this Four Star Dou Saint fire minion."
"Be careful; a Four Star Dou Saint minion is not fully controlled by the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame and has its own intelligence and considerable autonomy."
Zi Yan nodded slightly, about to make a move, when someone patted her shoulder. She turned and saw it was Xiao Ze, the only one who could approach her undetected and close enough to touch.
"What's wrong? Aren't you unable to take action?"
"This one is a bit special; I'll handle it myself," Xiao Ze said, nodding to Elder Gu Nanhai, who relaxed, curious to see the extent of Xiao Ze's strength. The Dan League members also watched expectantly.
As Xiao Ze approached, the thin figure slowly opened its eyes. Its black eyes, more spirited than other fire minions, flickered coldly. As those eyes locked onto Xiao Ze, they vibrated slightly. Facing the oncoming figure, he felt as if he was confronting an entire world an illusion that put him on high alert. He reached into the void, and a massive blood colored axe appeared in his hand. His aura surged as a strange rune emerged on his forehead, boosting his strength immensely.
"The Xiao Clan's clan pattern!" Xun Er exclaimed, recognizing the pattern on the thin figure's forehead from when she saw Xiao Ze create it, leaving a deep impression.
She then realized why Xiao Ze had chosen to intervene personally it was the clan pattern of this ancestor! The figure dashed towards Xiao Ze, the blood colored axe ready to split heaven and earth with a terrifying strike. Xiao Ze merely raised his hand covered in brilliant Nine Mystical Golden Thunder.
Boom
Facing the space shattering blood colored axe, Xiao Ze grasped the blade of the axe. The space vibrated, the force spreading, and everything within a hundred feet shattered! Xiao Ze held the blood colored axe, preventing it from advancing an inch, and a clan pattern also appeared on his forehead. Seeing this, the thin figure halted, its gaze fixed on Xiao Ze's pattern, showing confusion and contemplation.
"Junior Xiao Ze, I greet ancestor Xiao Chen!" Xiao Ze spoke softly, causing the confusion on Xiao Chen's face to fade, and the coldness in his eyes quickly dissipated.
"The Xiao Clan..."
Xiao Chen's voice was incredibly hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in countless years. "Are you from the Xiao Clan? Am I... Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan?"
After speaking, Xiao Chen's face showed signs of struggle, his body trembling as if resisting something. Xiao Ze's gaze flashed, and he formed a drop of blood into the pattern of the clan. He swiftly moved to Xiao Chen, pressing the pattern onto his forehead. Immediately, Xiao Chen's forehead lit up brilliantly, expelling large amounts of milky white flame from his body clearly ejecting the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame!
