Gazing at the demonic flower sovereign rushing toward him, Xiao Yan's shoulders trembled, and his pale, vibrant bone wings emerged. With a single flap of his wings, he surged skyward at an astonishing speed, leaving the demonic flower sovereign momentarily stunned. "Such speed!" The sovereign's expression slightly changed as he stumbled, then fixed his cold gaze upon Xiao Yan hovering high above. "Has Yao Chen only taught you how to escape?" "Then it's no longer your concern." Xiao Yan smiled, waving his sleeve, and eleven puppets materialized, forming an array. As energy flowed through the network, the celestial demon puppet soon glowed brilliantly. "Puppets, huh... Huajin, handle Yun Yun. This young man shall be mine." With a glance at the puppets, the demonic flower sovereign's eyes flashed with disdain, turning to Huajin and barking orders. "Understood." "Hua Jin nodded, then turned her cold gaze toward Yun Yun. With a strength of four-star Domain Sovereign, Yun Yun was merely a one-star Domain Sovereign—there was a vast gap between them. To subdue the latter would take only a few rounds. "You insignificant woman! Our sect shall see just what the old hag finds so admirable in you!" A spark of envy flashed in her eyes. Twisting her slender waist, Hua Jin launched herself directly at Yun Yun, her powerful aura surging forth in overwhelming waves. A terrifying force sent Huajin reeling back two steps, his eyes narrowing as he fixed them on the golden figure before him. "Huajin, focus on that puppet. I'll take this young man first—he'll automatically stop moving once I've secured him." In the sky, the Fiery Blossom Sovereign turned his cold gaze toward Xiao Yan hovering above, his fan suddenly bursting with deep cyan light. With a swift motion, he swept the fan, and a roaring gale surged forth, massive wind blades tearing through the space and sweeping across Xiao Yan in a relentless tide. "This battle must be settled swiftly!" Evading the attacks of the demonic flower king, Xiao Yan slowly inhaled deeply, then swiftly formed a series of unusual hand seals. As his hand seals danced, fiery columns surged upward from within him. "First transformation! Second transformation! Third transformation!" With these three powerful cries, Xiao Yan's aura surged dramatically under the astonished gazes of all present, rapidly ascending to the peak of four-star Domain Sovereign level within moments. After fully unleashing the Tian Fire Triple Transformation, Xiao Yan did not immediately cease. He clenched his hands, and three flames appeared within them. Then, hesitating slightly, he opened his mouth and expelled a fresh, pale, misty flame. Four distinct hetero-flames now appeared in the sky, instantly raising the temperature of this realm. Many people were sweating profusely; even their qi could no longer fully counteract the heat. Observing the four flames hovering before Xiao Yan, the Fae Flower Sovereign's expression subtly changed, and he finally began to feel uneasy. With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see that these four flames were among the most powerful hetero-flames in the cosmos. Yet what puzzled him was why Xiao Yan could simultaneously harbor four such hetero-flames within his body—typically, the human body could only contain one. As the sound of the drink settled, a series of dark fissures erupted across the space before the massive fan. These fissures, like invisible serpents of spatial poison, surged through the void with lightning speed, ultimately sweeping toward Xiao Yan in the distance. Undeterred by the attacks of the Fiendish Flower Sovereign, Xiao Yan paid no heed, his bone wings continuously vibrating and casting a series of shimmering afterimages into the sky. His true form remained concealed within these afterimages, making it impossible for the Fiendish Flower Sovereign's attacks to find a clear target. "Shhh!" Meanwhile, the four distinct flames before Xiao Yan swiftly fused together. With his current strength, if he wished to secure a swift victory, he had only two options: either destroy the Flame Lotus or unleash the Great Heaven's Transformation Palm. For Xiao Yan, who now commanded the Bone-Spirit Cold Flame, the former option was slightly more manageable, as he no longer needed the prolonged preparation he had previously required. The flame orbs within his palm continuously expanded and contracted, radiating an increasingly intense and turbulent wave of scorching energy, causing the very energy of the realm to grow restless. Upon observing this, the Demon Flower Sovereign's expression turned sharply alarmed—clearly, everyone could see that Xiao Yan was preparing a decisive, powerful strike. "Are you merely evading?" the Demon Flower Sovereign roared, though he recognized Xiao Yan's preparations, his own speed remained utterly outmatched. His face now turned ashen with fury. Yet, despite the fury of the roar, Xiao Yan paid it no heed, his mind divided between two tasks—dodging the attacks of the Fiery Blossom Sovereign while simultaneously gathering and maintaining the balance of the Flame Lotus. Observing the senseless pursuit in the sky, several elders from the Flower Sect exchanged puzzled glances. Though the Fiery Blossom Sovereign far surpassed Xiao Yan in strength, he had been left looking disheveled and humiliated. Moreover, with their keen eyes, they could clearly see that Xiao Yan was channeling an exceptionally powerful energy. Should this energy fully erupt, even the Fiery Blossom Sovereign would likely face a most dire fate. "Indeed, he is one of Yao Chen's disciples... With only the strength of a Two-Star Domain Sovereign, he manages to leave a Six-Star Domain Sovereign utterly helpless..." On the plaza, Yun Yun stared in astonishment at the flickering remnants in the sky and the furious outbursts of the Fiendish Flower Sovereign, finding it hard to believe that someone of the latter's caliber could not even match Xiao Yan. "This young man... has progressed so swiftly..." Yun Yun murmured softly, her expression somewhat complex. When she first saw Xiao Yan, he was merely a young boy who had recently attained Domain Master status. Now, that same young Domain Master could effortlessly outmaneuver even a Six-Star Domain Sovereign. "You've truly disgraced Yao Chen!" The pursuit that had lasted nearly ten minutes proved utterly futile, and the once-composed yōhua xījūn now faced a deeply grim expression. His roaring voice echoed continuously across the heavens. Such a display of agitation was surprising to many disciples of the Flower Sect, who had expected the seemingly gentle and refined yōhua xījūn to be far more composed when angered. "Shhh!" As the sky remained unbroken by movement, Xiao Yan suddenly halted mid-stride, his gaze calm and steady upon the raging yōhua xījūn, a faint smile playing on his lips. He spoke softly, "Have you chased enough? If so, then it's my turn..." With those words, the flame in his palm gently swirled, and gradually, a delicate, palm-sized lotus of fire emerged, blooming steadily from within the flame. As the flaming lotus bloomed, the energy throughout this realm surged with a resonant hum, radiating waves of devastating power that caused the very space around Xiao Yan to crack and shatter with a series of crisp sounds. "Such overwhelming energy!" Upon sensing the magnitude of this force, the elders of the Flower Sect exchanged startled expressions, quickly raising their hands to summon streams of qi, which soon coalesced into a remarkably solid defensive barrier encircling the plaza. The flaming lotus's immense energy, the demonic flower sovereign naturally recognized, caused his face to grow increasingly grim. Though he knew Xiao Yan was preparing a decisive weapon, he had never anticipated the scale of this weapon—so grand, so devastating. Even he felt a palpable sense of awe and unease at the sheer force. "How is this possible?" This young man possesses only two-star Sovereign Strength. Even with the secret technique, he might reach four-star level at most—how could he possibly unleash an attack of this caliber? "Young man, don't be too confident yet! I'm far from easy to handle!" The Yōka Yashin King clenched his teeth, his expression dark and serious. After a moment, he took a deep breath and halted his pursuit. With swift, rapid hand seals, a vast surge of aura erupted from within him, coalescing into a colossal figure nearly a hundred zhang in height—entirely formed of pure aura, flowing like an endless ocean, sweeping across the battlefield. "The Heavenly Ming Technique—Aura Transforms the Heavens and Earth!" As the giant took shape, the Yōka Yashin King's face paled, clearly indicating the immense aura consumption required. Though his expression was strained, his gaze remained fiercely sharp and cold, fixed firmly on Xiao Yan. A sharp, slightly hoarse voice issued from his throat. "Today, I shall see just which is stronger—your fire lotus, which has finally coalesced after you've been fleeing like a rabbit for half the day—or my 'Qi transforming the heavens and earth'!"
