Boom! Boom! Thunderous explosions resonated continuously throughout this space, each one accompanied by a powerful cultivator of the Medicine Clan unleashing their internal Qi, exploding into fragments—completely reduced to ashes. Under the sheer force of this violent energy surge, even their souls would be utterly annihilated. Xiao Yan and his companions pushed their speed to the absolute limit, rushing furiously toward the areas where the self-exploding cultivators were most concentrated. There, the seals had already been shattered, and the spatial fissures torn open, no longer posing a challenge. Behind Xiao Yan and his group, the stronger members of the sects and factions closely followed, understanding that with such chaos, relying solely on their own strength would not be enough to ensure their survival. However, the Hu Men clan's objective was to eradicate all life within the Pharmacological Realm, so they could not allow Xiao Yan and the others to depart unimpeded. As soon as the group began to move, the countless spirit-absorbing creatures and Hu Men warriors instantly shifted their focus, pouring down upon Xiao Yan and his companions from every direction. "Seeing Xiao Yan and the others charging straight through the sky, approaching that space ever closer, Hounu Xun immediately shouted urgently. 'Hmph! Do you think I can manage three heads and six arms?' Hearing Hounu Xun's outburst, the Void-Devouring-Flame figure merely snorted, his tone conveying clear displeasure. At this, Hounu Xun fell silent, offering a somewhat awkward smile. Though Hounu Xun was indeed the strongest among them, he had to maintain the stability of the spatial seal, and had already been wounded by the remnant spirit of the Medicine Emperor in the earlier battle. Moreover, he now embodied countless spirit-devouring forms—how could he possibly muster the strength to shift his focus again? 'It's mine,' said Hounu Xun. 'The medicine pill elder shall be entrusted to you, Hounu Xun. With just one person's strength, you expect to stop us two? That's pure fantasy.'" "At a clearing in the sky, one of the Four Holy Saints of the Huan clan, Huan Yan, smiled faintly, his gaze contemptuous as he studied the seemingly frenzied medicinal pill before him. With a swift movement, his form flickered and he swiftly broke free from the battlefield, soaring through the air like an eagle, directly heading toward Xiao Yan and the others. "Xiao Yan, heh—he's a name I'm quite familiar with. The Huan clan has heard countless tales of you. If it weren't for unforeseen plans within the clan, I would have long since come to meet you personally. For all these years, few have managed to consistently humble our Huan clan—fewer than one, in fact, and you are that one!" Huan Yan's speed was astonishing, appearing before Xiao Yan and the others mere moments later, his voice cold and sharp. The elder Shen Nong's expression also shifted slightly due to the appearance of Hounyan, but immediately thereafter, he launched an attack—vast green flames coalesced into a colossal fiery beast with four legs, charging straight toward the latter. "Hounyan of the Living Souls—ah, I've always been quite intrigued by it. Once I capture you, this Hounyan of the Living Souls shall be mine," Hounyan smiled calmly, his hand firmly clenched, gathering an overwhelming surge of combat energy that solidified into a massive palm. With a single powerful strike, he slammed this palm directly onto the beast. The immense force scattered the fiery creature in pieces, and the wind pressure continued unabated, sweeping toward Xiao Yan and the others. "Indeed, Hounyan of the Living Souls isn't very formidable," Shen Nong chuckled, watching the descending palm, and swiftly increased his pace. "Whoosh!" A massive palm came down, and Xiao Yan and his companions also surged forward at incredible speed, narrowly avoiding it. However, the others behind them were not so lucky—despite one of them being a top-tier powerhouse at the peak of the one-star Dou Sheng rank, their bodies still collapsed under the force of the palm, disintegrating into a mist of blood. Unaware of the numerous cries of pain echoing from behind, Xiao Yan focused intently on the figure ahead—Hun Yan. This man stood precisely where the spatial seal had been shattered. To tear through the spatial rift there, he would first have to push this old warrior back. But… pushing back a top-tier powerhouse at the peak of the seven-star Dou Sheng rank? That was no easy feat for Xiao Yan at this moment. Xiao Yan's eyes flickered as he hurled the medicine-bearers he was holding toward the senior physician. With a sudden surge of intent, the northern king—previously as still and sculpted as ever—immediately transformed into a streak of black light, his powerful gust of wind sweeping directly toward Hun Yan, enveloping him in its force. "Hm? Is this a puppet?" Hun Yan's eyes widened in surprise at the northern king's exceptionally sharp and fluid assault. Such a powerful, seamless performance—so refined and without any trace of stiffness—was something even he had rarely witnessed. "Though the body may be strong, it is ultimately but a puppet..." Despite his astonishment, the Huan Yan showed no retreat at all. A surging tide of martial energy rippled through him, and with each movement of his hands, it expanded into vast, towering hands hundreds of zhang in size, effortlessly absorbing Northern King's sharp attacks. Occasionally, when the gusts of energy swept past, the sheer force of the martial aura sent the Northern King staggering backward, his otherwise impenetrable body bearing deep indentations up to half an inch in depth. Even for a warrior of the Northern King's caliber, resisting a late-stage Seven-Star Martial Saint proved exceedingly difficult. "Little Yi!" As the Northern King fought desperately to block Huan Yan, Xiao Yan roared, and within him, Little Yi surged rapidly upward, eventually fully merging with Xiao Yan's soul. With this fusion, a vast surge of pure lotus demonic fire erupted from within Xiao Yan's body. At that moment, his form became once again translucent, and even the bones and organs within him were enveloped in a delicate, rose-colored crystalline layer. Put out the body flame with a powerful strike—this was the strongest attack he could summon. Xiao Yan understood that against such a formidable opponent, ordinary attacks would barely make an impact. "Flame of Annihilation!" As the body flame took shape, Xiao Yan clenched his hands tightly, and six heterogenous flames of different hues instantly spiraled into a vortex at his palm, then merged together. Within mere moments, they coalesced into a lotus of five colors, radiating waves of destructive energy as it formed. "Go!" As soon as the lotus was fully formed, Xiao Yan shook his arm, launching the Flame of Annihilation with a brilliant trail of fiery lightning. It struck and exploded violently near Huan Yan's position. Boom! A tremendous energy explosion reverberated throughout heaven and earth, and a flame storm radiating destructive power raged wildly. Any spirit-absorbing beings within hundreds of zhang of the storm were instantly engulfed by its residual waves, their bodies turning to black blood and then vaporized by the intense heat. "Hmph. Indeed, you have some talent. But if this is your ultimate strength, then simply hand over the Tuoshe Gudi Jade in your hands. I shall ensure your peaceful passing!" The flame storm swept across the heavens, yet the cold tone of Huan Yan remained steadily emanating from within it. Suddenly, a surging tide of black mist erupted from the heart of the storm, effectively halting its fury. At the center of this black mist, Huan Yan stepped forth, one foot at a time, his robes fluttering and rustling without a breeze, his expression grim and solemn. Seeing that the Huan Yan had remained unscathed, Xiao Yan's expression also subtly changed. This was the first time he had employed the Destroying Fire Body while simultaneously activating the Destroying Fire Lotus, and yet even then, he could not manage to seriously injure Huan Yan. Indeed, the strength of a Seventh-Star Battle Saint at the late stage was truly astonishing. "That old man's aura seems unstable—it appears your earlier strike did cause him some damage, though it's still not enough to seriously wound him," said the Shen Nong elder seriously. "Xiao Yan, we must leave as soon as possible. If the powerful members of the Yao Clan are all eliminated, we won't be able to escape this situation!" said the Yao elder firmly. Xiao Yan nodded silently, his gaze fixed on Huan Yan in the distance, who stood with a stern and cold expression. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Senior Shen Nong, Yao Tian—lend me your unique inner flames temporarily!" "Heard this, both Shen Nong elder and Yao Tian were momentarily stunned, yet there was no time to ask further questions. Shen Nong, being more composed, simply waved his hand, and the medicinal staff he held settled into Xiao Yan's hands. Yao Tian hesitated slightly before swiftly expelling a deep brown flame, which gradually coalesced into a turtle-like form—this was precisely the Thirteenth-ranked Qi Ling Earth Fire on the Unusual Flame Ranking List. Holding the staff in one hand and the Qi Ling Earth Fire in the other, Xiao Yan's translucent body emitted a peculiar luster. In this state, he and Xiao Yi were fully integrated. In a sense, he now possessed the essence of an Unusual Flame Spirit. Even the other Unusual Flares that had not yet been fully refined could be summoned and utilized by him, provided their owners did not resist—though their power would naturally be weaker than those fully refined. Yet, under these urgent circumstances, such nuances could no longer be considered." Xiao Yan himself already possesses six kinds of unique flames. If these two additional unique flames are incorporated as well, the resulting fire lotus will be unprecedented—formed by eight unique flames condensed together! The power of such a fire lotus will undoubtedly be extremely terrifying!!
