As they gazed at the ten hollow-eyed figures, the crowd couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
These ten figures were clearly fire slaves, and without exception, every single one of them had reached the level of Dou Sheng. The strongest among them even possessed the power of a late Three-Star Dou Sheng!
Faced with the extravagant display of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, even the Hall of Souls' Chief furrowed his brows slightly.
"Each time I tear open the seal, quite a few arrogant fools rush in. But unfortunately, they all end up becoming my most obedient fire slaves."
The white-robed man smiled at the crowd and spoke softly, "This time, my collection is destined to grow even richer."
Hoo—
The Hall of Souls' Chief fixed his gaze on the distant lineup—a powerhouse nearing the strength of a Six-Star Dou Sheng, along with ten others between One-Star and Three-Star Dou Sheng. Even the Hall of Souls couldn't muster such a force!
"Everyone, no matter our grievances, we must join forces if we want to survive this ordeal," the Hall of Souls' Chief declared, his gaze first falling on Mo Yu and Xiao Yan.
These two were not only powerful themselves but also had the formidable support of the Lei Clan and the Gu Clan behind them, making them forces to be reckoned with.
Hearing his words, many strong individuals hesitated. The Hall of Souls was notorious, and none of them had ever imagined cooperating with these people.
However, Mo Yu remained indifferent. Times had changed, and working together was undoubtedly the best course of action for now, even if everyone harbored their own ulterior motives.
"As the Chief said, let's cooperate and take down the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame first." Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement.
Seeing them agree so readily, the Hall of Souls' Chief chuckled. "No wonder you two are the rising prodigies of the Central Plains. You certainly have boldness."
"In that case, those at Four-Star Dou Sheng or above will focus on dealing with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, while the rest of you will handle the fire slaves."
"The fire slaves will be our responsibility," Mo Yu said, his silver eyes flashing as he gazed at the Dou Sheng-level fire slaves.
"Xiao Yan, Mo Yu, I cannot participate in the assault on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The moment I get too close, your seal will fail, and I will fall completely under its control," Xiao Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"Ancestor Xiao Chen, you don't need to take action. We must always leave ourselves a backup plan," Xiao Yan replied with a smile.
"Indeed, we cannot fully trust the Hall of Souls," Mo Yu added with a nod.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen silently nodded.
While Mo Yu and his group discussed their plans, the Hall of Souls' Chief was already stepping into the void. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared within a hundred meters of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. The other powerhouses followed suit, forming a circular encirclement around it.
Seven Four-Star Dou Shengs!
Such a lineup was enough to shake the heavens. The combined power of these seven was truly enough to turn the world upside down.
Seeing this grand battle take shape, the other onlookers exchanged solemn glances and quickly withdrew. This level of battle was not something they could interfere with.
As the others retreated, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, standing atop a pillar of magma, let out a cold laugh.
"Flame Demon Halberd!"
With a gentle grasp towards the endless sea of magma below, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame caused the lava to churn violently. A gigantic, bone-white flame halberd shot out from within, instantly appearing in its grasp.
"Die!"
With that single word, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame abruptly lifted its head, opening its mouth to unleash a monstrous wave of demon fire, stretching hundreds of meters wide. The terrifying heat made even the Hall of Souls' Chief's expression change slightly.
"Attack together!"
The Hall of Souls' Chief's eyes flickered, and endless black mist surged from his body, rolling forward like dark clouds to meet the incoming fire wave.
However, the moment the two forces collided, the black mist was instantly torn apart. The fire wave split into seven massive fire pillars, each blasting toward one of the seven attackers.
Witnessing such overwhelming might in a single attack, even Zi Yan and Lei Jizhou dared not be careless. Their Dou Qi surged frantically, and powerful Dou Techniques erupted into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky exploded with flames, resembling a breathtaking fireworks display. Yet beneath that beauty lurked a terrifying force of destruction.
Thud! Thud!
The seven figures in the sky were forced to retreat, and the alchemist Yao Wangui, along with an elder from the Shi Clan, had their robes burned halfway off, leaving them looking utterly disheveled.
It was clear that even with seven Four-Star Dou Shengs working together, they had failed to gain the upper hand against the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
"Fire slaves, kill the others!"
Forcing back seven Dou Shengs single-handedly, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame sneered before turning its gaze toward Mo Yu and Xiao Yan's group. A cold smile spread across its strikingly handsome face as its indifferent voice echoed.
"Roar!"
The moment its words fell, the ten Dou Sheng fire slaves, who had been floating motionless in the air, suddenly snapped their eyes open. Their hollow pupils ignited with eerie, milky-white flames. In the next instant, they charged toward Mo Yu's group with terrifying speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ten flaming figures appeared before them, their vacant gazes sweeping across the group before abruptly lunging in different directions, each locking onto a target.
Seeing this, the Deputy Chief of the Hall of Souls and Hun Feng merely watched with flickering eyes, showing no intent to interfere. Clearly, they wanted to see a good show.
"Stay alert!" Mo Yu shouted.
Perhaps because their group had the largest numbers, five Dou Sheng fire slaves charged directly at them. However, what reassured Mo Yu slightly was that even the Three-Star Dou Sheng fire slave was among them.
"I'll take on the Three-Star Dou Sheng fire slave. Xiao Yan, be careful!"
With those words, Mo Yu's figure flickered, appearing before the Three-Star Dou Sheng fire slave. Thunderous energy surged from his body, coalescing into a giant lightning palm that struck toward the fire slave.
Clang!
The fire slave's body was suddenly enveloped in a layer of milky-white flame, forming a protective fire cloak. Raising its arm, it met Mo Yu's attack head-on. Sparks erupted as the two forces clashed violently.
"Roar!"
Forcibly enduring Mo Yu's palm strike, the milky-white flames covering the Fire Slave surged as if possessing intelligence, suddenly condensing into a ferocious maw that snapped toward Mo Yu.
"Oh? What a bizarre Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame."
Seeing this, Mo Yu's figure flickered and instantly appeared behind the Fire Slave. The Divine Might Black Thunder Spear manifested in his grip, and with a terrifying spear radiance imbued with the might of a True Dragon, he viciously thrust toward the Fire Slave!
After absorbing the flesh and bloodline of the Northern Dragon King—a royal of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan—the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear had not only advanced to the ninth grade but also gained the pressure of a True Dragon. Even though Mo Yu was only a Two-Star Dou Sheng, wielding this spear allowed him to contend against even a Three-Star or Four-Star Dou Sheng!
"Boom!"
The Divine Might Black Thunder Spear violently pierced forward, fiercely striking the Dou Sheng Fire Slave. The brutal force and True Dragon pressure dimmed the milky-white flames shrouding its body.
However, for the Fire Slave—bereft of pain perception—this damage was far from enough to halt its onslaught. A swift and ruthless counterattack followed immediately, momentarily catching Mo Yu off guard.
Yet, Mo Yu quickly steadied his mind and gradually regained the upper hand. With each spear thrust, he scattered the milky-white flames covering the Fire Slave bit by bit. It was clear that once these demonic flames were completely dispersed, the Fire Slave's strength would plummet.
While Mo Yu displayed his might, pushing back the late Three-Star Dou Sheng Fire Slave, Xiao Yan, She Shu, Xun Er, and the Grand Elder of the Small Pill Tower were also making remarkable progress.
Each of them was stronger than their respective Fire Slaves, and with their agility and powerful Dou Techniques, they steadily maintained an advantage—though they remained somewhat cautious of the flames enveloping their foes.
Across the magma sea, the sky had become a battlefield of utter chaos. Naturally, the most intense and terrifying conflict was within the central region—a battleground spanning ten thousand feet—where seven Four-Star Dou Shengs clashed with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame!
Even with its overwhelming strength, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame found itself entangled after the seven Four-Star Dou Shengs unleashed their full power. After all, its opponents were among the continent's absolute elites.
Beyond this central battlefield, several smaller skirmishes unfolded—where Mo Yu and his companions battled the Fire Slaves.
Of the ten Dou Sheng Fire Slaves, Mo Yu's side was dealing with five. The remaining five were so formidable that even the Hall of Souls' Chief could no longer afford to spectate and personally took action—especially since one of them was a Three-Star Dou Sheng-level Fire Slave.
With the Hall of Souls' Deputy Chief stepping in, they barely managed to withstand the Fire Slaves' relentless attacks.
"Yellow Springs Palm!"
Above the sky, a massive energy palm print abruptly formed, carrying an overwhelming force as it slammed onto a Fire Slave. The terrifying impact completely shattered the last remnants of its demonic flames.
As the final flames dispersed, the once-fierce Fire Slave suddenly slowed, its attacks significantly weakened.
"So, those flames are their energy source..."
Observing this, Mo Yu's eyes gleamed with understanding. A thought crossed his mind, and he instantly flashed toward the Fire Slave.
With a flick of his palm, formless lightning erupted, solidifying space and freezing the weakened Fire Slave in place. Then, his fingers swiftly tapped against its forehead.
In that instant, black lightning surged from Mo Yu's fingertips, and a peculiar black lotus sigil slowly emerged on the Fire Slave's forehead.
"Seal!"
As the sigil formed, Mo Yu uttered a low command, and the black lotus mark imprinted onto the Fire Slave's forehead before swiftly merging into its flesh and invading its mind.
"Boom!"
The moment the black lotus sigil entered the Fire Slave's consciousness, Mo Yu felt an extreme heat radiate from within. With his enhanced perception, he could "see" a milky-white fire bead hovering deep within the Fire Slave's mind, emanating terrifying energy.
The soul sigil circled around the fire bead, releasing waves of eerie black lightning that gradually isolated it.
The instant the fire bead was sealed off, Mo Yu sensed a new connection forming in his mind. At his command, the Fire Slave lowered its arms, standing quietly beside him like a submissive servant.
"It actually worked..."
Even Mo Yu couldn't hide his delight.
If he could control all ten Fire Slaves, his forces would skyrocket! At that point, even destroying the Hall of Souls wouldn't be out of reach!
The Dou Sheng Fire Slave stood silently by Mo Yu's side, its face blank and lifeless. Only the terrifying energy fluctuations faintly radiating from its body revealed its immense strength.
"However, this sigil only grants temporary control. Once the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame regains its focus, it will undoubtedly use the fire bead to break my sigil's seal and reclaim control over the Fire Slaves."
Mo Yu's gaze flickered as he studied the Fire Slave. To permanently seize control, he had to eliminate the fire bead, as it was the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's only means of controlling them.
"Still, while the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is powerful, my Black Lotus Soul Thunder is no weaker. Given enough time, the black lotus can replace the fire bead and become this Fire Slave's new core. At that point, this Fire Slave will truly be mine—my Thunder Slave."
Mo Yu thought to himself, his excitement growing.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mo Yu's gaze swept across the battlefield.
At this moment, Xiao Yan and Xun Er's opponents were also being relentlessly suppressed. The milky-white flames covering their bodies grew dimmer and dimmer—it was only a matter of time before they achieved victory.
"Everyone, lend me your strength! Now is the best time to seal the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame!"
Suddenly, an earth-shattering voice rang out from the distant battlefield.
The Hall of Souls' Chief, his hair disheveled, soared into the sky and struck the air with his palm. Immediately, a colossal black array—ten thousand feet wide—manifested in the sky, locking onto the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame below!
"Tianluo Sealing Demon Formation!"
With a cold shout, six towering energy pillars surged into the sky from all directions, pouring into the massive array above.
"Whoosh!"
The array trembled, and a pitch-black light beam inscribed with profound runes erupted from its center, shooting toward the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame at lightning speed!
"Tianluo Refining Fire—return to the source!"
Above the battlefield, the Hall of Souls' Chief's face twisted with fervor, his gaze locked onto the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame with insatiable greed.
This time, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had nowhere to run!
