As a heavy hammer struck into the demonic flames, the earth trembled!
However, Hei Yan’s expression turned somewhat grim.
Before him appeared a large pit, with only a few black demonic flames still burning inside, but apart from that, not even a single bone was visible!
“Damn it!”
Hei Yan gritted his teeth, his face darkening as he scanned his surroundings, finally locking onto a direction.
Not far away, the toad demon was still standing, though its appearance now seemed somewhat peculiar.
Mo Fan was indeed not dead; even being engulfed in a sea of flames was merely a ploy he used!
His aim was to use Hei Yan’s demonic flames to break the seal on the space within his body!
This plan was indeed somewhat risky for Mo Fan; if not for the Devouring Heaven Demon Bone, he would have long turned to ashes.
Yet, the result was unexpectedly effective!
This time, Mo Fan not only lifted the seal on his internal space but also replenished the depleted essence of his Fire Spirit Body.
He had managed to dodge Hei Yan’s strike by using Fire Escape in time.
At this moment, he reactivated his Fire Spirit Body, his entire form enveloped in golden flames, his red hair cascading like a waterfall, somewhat resembling Hei Yan’s current state.
“You’re still alive!”
Hei Yan gritted his teeth, eyes wide with rage, as if he wanted to swallow Mo Fan whole!
At this moment, he sensed an unprecedented threat from this toad demon!
“How can this be…”
Above the sea of clouds, the yellow-robed elder’s face changed drastically, also finding it somewhat unbelievable.
The silver-haired old woman showed a look of surprise, then imperceptibly moved her lips, as if reporting something to someone.
On the ground, Mo Fan flew to the sea of flames where Hei Yi and the others were, then opened his mouth and sucked fiercely, directly swallowing the terrifying demonic flames into his internal space!
“Master!”
“Great King!”
The rescued demons all showed excited expressions.
“So, Master, you’ve been hiding your strength all along. To think you can even devour these demonic flames so effortlessly, truly incredible!” Bai Yi couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
He was genuinely shocked.
He knew how terrifying these demonic flames were; even Hei Yi, with her Primordial Demon-Devouring Divine Body, could only barely resist their corrosion.
Yet, not only did his master survive the sea of flames, but he also swallowed those terrifying demonic flames in one gulp!
Wasn’t that just too absurd?!
Mo Fan smiled and said, “It’s not as exaggerated as you make it sound. My strength was previously restricted by certain factors, and I’ve only just lifted those restrictions.”
“Great King, I’ve lost!” Hei Yi said, her expression dejected.
She hadn’t expected that, even after becoming a Divine Body, she would still lose to him, which was somewhat hard for her to accept.
“In a fight, winning or losing is quite normal. No one can guarantee they’ll always be invincible!”
Mo Fan smiled at her, then comforted, “You’ve all done your best, so leave the rest to this king!”
While speaking, Mo Fan used his divine sense to observe the situation in his internal space, finding that the demonic flames extinguished instantly upon entering.
This relieved him and confirmed a suspicion he had.
That is, while these demonic flames were formidable, they ultimately required the unique physique of the black tiger demon as a medium to exist.
If they were sealed off, unable to sense Hei Yan as their medium, the demonic flames would naturally extinguish!
This was a judgment Mo Fan made based on the unique nature of the Three Fires of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Earth Fire, needless to say, was the fire of the earth’s veins; as long as the veins persisted, the fire would flow endlessly.
He didn’t yet know what Heaven Fire was, but it wasn’t hard to imagine, likely akin to rootless fire like lightning.
Man Fire, however, was different. It referred to the fire cultivated by living beings in the world. His Fire Spirit Body was such, where the flame’s strength depended on his demonic energy for support; without it, the flames would naturally die out.
Based on this principle, Mo Fan dared to make a bold attempt.
Even if it failed, with the properties of his Devouring Heaven Divine Ability, he could release the demonic flames again.
Fortunately, he guessed correctly!
“Hei Yan, is it?”
“Now, it’s time to settle the score between us!”
Mo Fan turned, looking at the grim-faced Hei Yan, taking a step forward, his body instantly covered in a layer of crimson crystal armour. He spat out a black spike, gripping it in his hand, black wings unfurling behind him, his body enveloped in golden flames!
“A defeated foe, don’t think you can beat this Holy Son just by changing your appearance!”
“This Holy Son is Hei Yan!”
“The Hei Yan with the Black Flame Demon Body!!”
“Anyone who dares block my path must die!!”
Hei Yan roared, his body similarly covered in black armour, black demonic flames surging fiercely!
“Kill!!”
Both demons let out a furious shout, charging at each other!
In an instant, Mo Fan reached Hei Yan, thrusting his spike straight at his throat!
“Get lost!!”
Hei Yan growled, blocking the spike with one hammer, then swinging the other hammer viciously at Mo Fan’s head!
However, while Mo Fan’s strength was inferior, his speed was countless times faster!
With the aid of his black wings, Hei Yan couldn’t even touch the hem of Mo Fan’s clothes.
“Damn toad, if you’re so great, stop dodging!!”
Hei Yan, toyed with relentlessly, grew furious, shouting, “Black Flame, burn to your heart’s content!”
“Divine Ability, Black Flame Domain!”
Boom!
With Hei Yan’s low shout, the demonic flames on his body surged, instantly turning a hundred-zhang radius into a sea of fire.
Yet Mo Fan remained fearless, his golden flames burning brightly, blocking the black demonic flames, his spike aiming straight for Hei Yan’s face.
The two demons clashed fiercely in the sea of flames, until Hei Yan, ultimately outmatched, was pinned to the ground by Mo Fan’s spike!
“Damn it!”
“I’m not reconciled!!”
“I, Hei Yan, am the rightful Holy Son of White Tiger Mountain!!”
Hei Yan roared, his heart filled with frustration; if his demonic flames hadn’t been completely countered, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“I never said I wanted to compete for your pathetic Holy Son title, but none of that matters now. Go dream your Holy Son dreams in the underworld!”
Mo Fan sneered, his black wings sweeping, transforming into a feather blade slashing at Hei Yan’s neck!
“Insolent!!”
At that moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky.
Immediately after, Mo Fan’s hair stood on end, instinctively looking up, only to see a massive palm crashing down on him!
Under this palm, he felt the same helplessness he once did facing Lei Yu’s purple lightning.
This was a Demon Ancestor!
Mo Fan gritted his teeth, his face full of rage, his heart brimming with unwillingness!
Why?!
He had worked so hard to reach this point, yet these great demons could kill him without hesitation?!
Just as Mo Fan tried to fully revive the Devouring Heaven Demon Bone, another giant hand appeared, blocking the massive palm.
“Fellow Daoist, you’ve gone too far!”
An aged voice resounded through the heavens, letting Mo Fan know someone was helping him.
“What a Demon Ancestor!”
“Since you want to save this guy, I’ll make sure you don’t get your way!”
“Demon Ancestor or not?”
“This king will slay this black tiger right in front of you!!”
Mo Fan, full of rage, struck again, his feather blade slashing at Hei Yan.
Boom!
However, the next moment, Mo Fan was sent flying, and Hei Yan, previously pinned to the ground, stood up, ignoring the wound through his chest, spitting out a demon core as thunderclouds rolled in the sky!
“Damn toad, today, even if this Holy Son breaks through, I’ll slaughter you!”
“No one can save you!!”
Hei Yan roared, his body radiating the aura of the King Realm, vanishing with a single step.
“Die!!”
Hei Yan appeared above Mo Fan, his spherical hammer crashing down!
Mo Fan tried to escape but found himself unable to move, as if the surrounding space had been completely locked!
He looked up at the demon core glowing above Hei Yan’s head, instantly understanding everything.
As the hammer was about to strike, Mo Fan’s eyes were bloodshot, yet he was powerless.
Only now did he realise how terrifying a true prodigy could be after breaking through!
Boom!!
Hei Yan’s hammer fell, but it was blocked by a golden light shield inches from Mo Fan’s body, then rebounded by the immense force, forcing Hei Yan to stagger back several steps.
“This is…”
Mo Fan’s eyes widened, looking at the faintly glowing shield before him, understanding everything.
“Little Brother Lai Bao, didn’t I tell you to be careful?”
“If you died like this, who would help your sister in the future?”
A graceful figure appeared in Mo Fan’s view, facing away from him, speaking to the furious Hei Yan, “Friend from White Tiger Mountain, you’ve crossed the line and broken the rules!”
“Rules?”
“Rules are meant to be broken!”
“In this Holy Son’s eyes, the word ‘rules’ doesn’t exist!”
“You female demon, daring to block me, you’ll die too!”
Hei Yan, in a rage, nearly lost his reason, charging straight at Bai Shuang.
“When did my Phoenix Cry Mountain become a place for White Tiger Mountain’s demons to act recklessly?”
Suddenly, an indifferent voice echoed through the heavens, and Mo Fan saw a giant hand reach out, grabbing at Hei Yan!
“Fire Phoenix, calm your anger!”
“We’ll leave immediately!!”
A startled shout came from the sky, followed by a golden light descending. A yellow-robed elder riding a golden lion appeared, grabbing Hei Yan, glancing at Mo Fan, then turning into a golden light and fleeing to the horizon.
“Come and go as you please, do you take my Phoenix Cry Mountain for nothing?!”
The giant hand flipped, flames covering the sky, striking fiercely at the horizon!
“Ah!”
“Fire Phoenix, spare us!!”
A scream rang out from the horizon, then silence followed.
The demons, seeing this, all breathed a sigh of relief.
As the sky full of flames dissipated, a silver-haired old woman holding a snake-shaped staff descended from the sky, addressing the demons, “I, under the orders of the Fire Phoenix Holy King, have come to escort you all to my Phoenix Cry Mountain!”
