"This realm is this huge? All these people… were they scattered when they entered? But when I came in, I didn't feel any sign of being teleported."
Wei Yang flew aimlessly across the vast expanse, thoughts flickering through his mind.
Hmm?
Suddenly, his body paused slightly and his brows lifted: "Someone's ahead."
With a flicker, he shot forward. Moments later, he came to a stop. Not far in front of him, six figures hovered in the air, staring at him with cold, mocking eyes.
"It's you?" Wei Yang was a little surprised.
The six figures were exactly the Hun Clan Trio and the Yao Clan Trio. He never expected these people to join forces, and judging from their stance, it seemed they were waiting for him specifically.
"You guys seem to be waiting for me?" Wei Yang asked curiously.
"That's right," Hun Miesheng nodded.
"Impressive courage. Just the three of you?" Wei Yang let out a dry chuckle, his gaze sweeping across Yao Wangui's group of three. "Or did you find these three pieces of trash, and that's what gave you courage?"
Hearing that, the faces of Yao Wangui and the other two instantly darkened. They glared at Wei Yang, shouting, "Wei Yang, today is the day you die, so stop acting smug!"
"Is that so?" Wei Yang's lips curved as he slowly lifted his hand.
"Hold on. Before we start, let me show you something," Hun Miesheng said with a faint smile.
Suddenly, thick black fog surged from his palm. As it churned, two small, faintly illusory figures appeared within it. Seeing the two tiny silhouettes, Wei Yang's pupils abruptly contracted. He froze as if struck by lightning, murmuring, "Ye'er, Shuo'er!"
Wei Ye and Wei Shuo.
What Hun Miesheng had brought out… was actually Wei Ye's pair of children. Only now they existed merely as fragile soul forms.
"Daddy."
"Daddy, save us…"
The moment they saw Wei Yang, the two little ones' eyes lit up. They cried pitifully as they tried to run toward him, but the black fog locked them in place. The more they struggled, the more desperately they sobbed.
"Daddy, help me… help Shuo'er… woo… it hurts… it's so cold…"
"Daddy, save little sister first… Ye'er isn't scared."
"How… how could this be? You…!"
Their cries were like knives stabbing into Wei Yang's heart. His mind went blank, completely stunned.
"Jie jie jie… Wei Yang, how's this gift? You think you're so capable? Turns out you do have weaknesses after all. Stand against my Hall of Souls, and the only ending is the destruction of your entire family!"
A twisted grin curled across Hun Miesheng's face.
He slowly pressed his hand onto the heads of the two children and said coldly, "Let me tell you something. Falling Star Pavilion was wiped out by my Hun Clan not long ago. Your two wives are already dead. Does that hurt? Don't rush… the real agony hasn't even begun."
"Stop!"
Seeing Hun Miesheng's action, Wei Yang's eyes instantly turned blood-red as he roared.
"Jie jie." Hun Miesheng only let out a chilling laugh before pressing his palm down.
Bang!
Wei Ye and Wei Shuo's souls exploded instantly, scattering into countless fragments of light. Under the oppressive heat of the surroundings, the fragments quickly evaporated into nothingness.
"Nooo!"
Wei Yang's eyes cracked open wide, staring blankly at the vanishing motes of light, his face filled with disbelief. In that moment, the world seemed to spin wildly. It was as if everything was collapsing.
His heart felt like it had been stabbed twice with a blade, the pain so fierce he nearly fainted. A violent tremor suddenly overtook his body, and an overwhelming killing intent surged out like a tidal wave.
"My… children…"
Sensing that monstrous, bottomless killing intent, the Hun Clan Trio and Yao Clan Trio not only showed no fear—they revealed twisted smiles.
"Hmm?"
Just as Wei Yang was about to completely lose control, he suddenly let out a soft sound of confusion. He froze instantly. Streams of milky-white flames shot out from every pore on his body, turning him into a humanoid torch as the terrifying fire rampaged from the inside out.
"An illusion?"
The sudden burning pain snapping through his body cleared Wei Yang's mind in an instant. His eyes regained clarity and he murmured softly. When he looked ahead again, the six people from Hall of Souls and the Yao Clan had already vanished without a trace.
"Whew… I didn't even notice I'd fallen for it. Everything here is just an illusion designed to trigger emotional disturbance." Wei Yang exhaled heavily, letting out a bitter smile.
He had clearly prepared himself mentally, yet he still fell into it without realizing. Just now, he had nearly descended into madness completely—almost triggering an apocalyptic massacre that would have burned the world down to bury his two children.
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame truly was bizarre and impossible to guard against.
No wonder even Xiao Yan's Complete Perfection Heaven Realm soul couldn't avoid its illusions. As for him, only at the late-stage Heaven Realm soul… what chance did he stand?
He slowly lowered his head.
He stared at the demonic flame burning across his body, but he didn't seem bothered at all. He simply floated there, letting it burn. He even had the leisure to carefully feel the power contained within the demonic flame.
"Hm, its power is decent, but because no one is actively controlling it, it's weakened quite a bit. At this level, it can't burn me." Wei Yang smiled. After he had gauged enough, he willed his energy.
Boom!
Inside his body, the faintly illusory black flames hidden within his blood surged forth. They erupted violently, spreading across every inch of his body like a tide and lunging toward the milky-white demonic flame.
Facing the furious counterattack of the Death Life Flame, the milky-white flame held out for only a short moment before being pushed back inch by inch, eventually devoured completely.
After the black flames consumed every trace of the demonic fire within him, Wei Yang closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, he calmly commented, "Top three on the Heavenly Flame Ranking… not bad."
With his physique, bloodline, and Heavenly Flames, this little bit of demonic fire couldn't threaten him at all. It was practically free nourishment—barely enough to fill the gaps between his teeth, more like a small appetizer before an actual meal.
"But seriously, this demonic flame does have some real power. Its illusions are no weaker than those from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree."
Wei Yang's gaze sharpened as he swept his eyes around him.
The world before him instantly shifted. The endless milky-white sea of fire began to fade. In its place appeared a thick milky-white fog stretching several hundred meters around him.
Within this fog, besides Wei Yang, more than a dozen people were darting around in panic like headless flies. Some of them were already completely wrapped in milky-white flames, struggling frantically until their screams rang out—and then their bodies crumbled into ashes.
The sight made Wei Yang frown slightly. His gaze swept quickly across the fog. Then he understood. The illusions earlier must have been caused by this strange fog, ensnaring people's minds and making them unable to distinguish reality.
Watching the people around him burn alive and turn to ash, Wei Yang let out a faint sigh. He knew exactly how terrifying the demonic flame burning within one's body could be.
Forget these Ban Shengs and peak Dou Zun experts—even a Dou Sheng, if careless, could be severely injured or even fall here. But Wei Yang had no intention of playing the kind savior. He didn't plan to rescue them one by one. Instead, he simply watched them turn to ash.
Why should he save strangers he had no relationship with? This wasn't a nursery.
Everyone must bear the consequences of their choices.
With their level of strength, they still dared to come here and covet a Heavenly Flame? If they wanted to court death, they had no one to blame. Besides, this was just the first trial. If they already needed rescuing, how would they survive the rest? Was he supposed to carry them all the way to the end?
Better to let them die here—it was quicker for everyone.
