256: The end of the strong, the smoke disappears!

"Stop!"

Looking at the incoming pillar of light, the Demon Saint's phantom slowly raised a finger and gently pointed.

The pillar of light stopped moving.

"Sure enough, Gu Fei Gege's judgment was not wrong!"

Seeing this, Zi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the vast energy in her palm dissipated.

"The Ancient Sky Refining Formation was created by me. In terms of understanding it, you are not as good as I am!"

A faint smile appeared on the Demon Saint's phantom's face as he looked at the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, whose expression was extremely unsightly in the sky, and said softly.

"Bastard!"

"Do you think you are still the Demon Saint of the past?"

Seeing this, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was furious.

But soon.

He discovered that his control over this great formation was gradually disappearing.

"Pure Lotus Demon Saint, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Extinguishes the World!"

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame's body rapidly expanded, and finally, with a bang, it transformed into a towering inferno that filled the heavens and earth.

"Ah!"

A powerhouse at the Half-Saint level let out a tragic scream.

All the Dou Qi within his body ignited at that moment, and even his Meridians, flesh, bones, and even his Soul were incinerated.

The other people around, seeing this scene, felt their hands and feet turn cold.

All the heaven and earth energy here was evaporated by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's high temperature. If they stayed, they would be unable to replenish the consumed Dou Qi in their bodies.

In the end, only one fate awaited them: being burned alive.

"Pfft!"

Just as everyone's hearts trembled, the Demon Saint's phantom suddenly waved his sleeve.

The two massive formations, tens of thousands of feet large, in the heavens and earth suddenly released a beam of light.

The light twisted in mid-air, finally forming a spatial passage.

"Hurry and leave. If the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame fully explodes, none of you will survive..."

"Run!"

Seeing the spatial passage appear.

Most people at this moment ran out for their lives, not daring to delay for a second.

"Elder Nanhai, Gu Fei Gege will be fine. Let's leave here first too!"

Zi Yan retracted her gaze, finally looking at Gu Nanhai and Xun'er, who had not yet left, and said.

"Mm!"

Gu Nanhai had no doubts about Zi Yan's words at this moment. After all, he knew the relationship between Zi Yan and Gu Fei. If Gu Fei was in danger, Zi Yan would definitely not leave.

"Gu Fei Gege, you must be safe..."

Xun'er almost looked back with every step, extremely worried about Gu Fei in her heart.

However, she was soon forcibly pulled into the spatial passage by Gu Nanhai and left.

Zi Yan was also worried about Gu Fei, but she trusted Gu Fei's arrangements more, knowing that if she stayed here, she might cause him trouble.

Soon, in this vast Demon Flame Space, no one remained except Gu Fei.

Every area of the vast space was filled with milky white Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

An indescribably terrifying high temperature permeated the space. Here now, even a Dou Saint powerhouse at the four-star or even five-star level could not stay long, because the temperature here could even burn Dou Qi.

At the center of the spatial sea of fire, a fire lotus was slowly rotating.

Not far below the fire lotus, "Gu Fei" still stood with his hands behind his back, and outside his body, the Demon Saint's phantom emitted an endless majestic aura.

"When we first met, you were as pure as a baby. I gave you sentience, but your development went against what I had envisioned!"

Looking at the eerie fire lotus in the sky, the Demon Saint's phantom sighed softly.

"Pure Lotus Demon Saint, how I grow is my own business. You're being too nosy!" the Purification Lotus Demon Flame roared.

"I just don't want you to ultimately fall into self-destruction. It was I who made you this way, so in the end, let me end it!"

The Demon Saint's phantom gazed at the demon lotus, and his hand Seal changed. The two great formations that enveloped the heavens and earth suddenly swept over, one above and one below.

A huge curtain of fire shot out from the center of the formation, then rapidly formed a square fire pillar prison with lightning speed, sealing the demon lotus within.

"The sentience and memories I bestowed upon you, I shall take back. From now on, you will once again possess the purity you had when I first discovered you!"

"Pure Lotus Demon Saint, you heartless bastard, I won't let you have your way!"

The demon lotus suddenly began to spin at high speed.

Clearly, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was resisting.

He was unwilling to fail like this.

"Thousands of years of Seal have only made your hatred stronger. Since that is the case..."

The Demon Saint's phantom looked at the frantically struggling Purification Lotus Demon Flame and sighed softly.

The giant formations in the heavens and earth actually began to collapse from the outside in, but as the outer perimeter of the formations collapsed, the fire pillars sealing the Purification Lotus Demon Flame became increasingly solid.

"Ancient Sky Refining Formation, strip!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint's illusory palm gently waved, and from within the curtain of fire, dense fiery threads suddenly shot out.

Next, wisps of blood-colored mist were slowly forced out of the demon lotus's main body.

"Ah!"

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame screamed tragically.

At this moment, no matter how he struggled, he could not escape this stripping.

"Your memories were given by me, and now, let me take them away!"

"Nonsense! Without memories, the future Purification Lotus Demon Flame will have no consciousness. How is your action any different from killing me?"

Feeling the gradual blankness in his mind, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame also became somewhat terrified in his heart. Once his memories and sentience were completely extracted, he would truly be "dead."

"Your nature is violent, and now you have even obtained my Legacy. If I allow you to break through the Seal, it will surely be a great disaster. This disaster was caused by me, so naturally, it must be ended by me."

The phantom formed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint shook his head, then once again exerted force to refine it.

"Ah!"

Dense blood mist surged out from the demon lotus, rapidly forming a blood-colored figure above the demon lotus.

Forced out of its main body, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame hurriedly dived down, wanting to burrow back in.

However, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint did not give him a chance.

His palm clenched, and the curtain of fire rapidly shrunk, finally forming a fire prison.

"Master, Master, spare me this once! I will definitely change in the future!"

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame finally became afraid. He immediately knelt down and begged the Pure Lotus Demon Saint for mercy.

Looking at the continuously pleading Purification Lotus Demon Flame, the phantom formed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint also sighed softly. With a wave of his sleeve, the phantom that had formed escaped from Gu Fei's body, then floated into the fire prison and landed in front of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

"Alas... A powerful being, in the end, also met such a fate..."

At this moment, Gu Fei was finally able to regain control of his body.

Previously, his consciousness was clearly aware of what was happening outside.

Looking at the Demon Saint's phantom within the curtain of fire, Gu Fei couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Little demon, you bit back at me back then, but in the end, I bear no resentment!"

"I had no disciples or children in my life. From beginning to end, you were the closest person to me!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint gently stroked the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's head.

A gentle smile also appeared on his somewhat illusory face.

"But I hate you!"

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame suddenly looked up, his blood-red eyes fixed on the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and wisps of blood mist rapidly enveloped the Demon Saint's phantom.

"This appearance is just like that day!"

Facing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's erosion, a faint sorrow welled up on the Demon Saint's face.

"Let's dissipate together, forever, between heaven and earth."

As the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's soft words were uttered, the massive fire formation suddenly completely collapsed.
