143: Simple version of reincarnation

Zi Yan and the others had been waiting for Xiao Lei for many days. The moment Xiao Lei spoke, they all followed his steps without hesitation.

Amidst the world of fire, everyone traveled for a long time. Fire slaves appeared continuously but were ultimately destroyed. Even Xiao Chen was freed from the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's control by Xiao Lei and temporarily set aside.

"Young Master, it seems we've fallen into an illusion!"

Among the five women, only Qing Lin was the first to realize everything. Her words startled Yun Yun and the others.

"An illusion? But everything before us seems real!"

Among them, Yun Yun's cultivation was the lowest, making it hardest for her to understand Qing Lin's words. Zi Yan and the others, after Qing Lin's reminder, also seemed to sense something, their eyes hazy.

Qing Lin didn't know why she could tell this was an illusion; the thought simply appeared in her mind.

At this moment, a narrow passage suddenly appeared in the purgatory before them. Both sides were filled with green magma, and at the end of the passage, a throne was prominently placed.

A man in white robes was seated on the throne.

"So strong! How can he be this strong!"

In Yun Yun's eyes, the white-robed man's aura was like a great sun, dazzling and impossible to look at directly. Even Medusa and the others showed expressions of vigilance, clearly extremely wary of him.

"This is just an illusion. The thoughts everyone is having are only due to the influence of their emotions!"

Qing Lin's expression was normal as she quickly spoke to remind them.

Hearing this, everyone was confused again. What did it mean to be influenced by emotions?

"Then how do we break through this illusion?"

Among those present, only Xiao Lei and Qing Lin were skilled in Soul methods. At this moment, Zi Yan and the others naturally turned their gaze to the two of them.

Xiao Lei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly took a step forward. "Simply put, the stronger we think he is, the stronger he will be in this illusion. This is entirely a subjective existence!"

Seeing Xiao Lei accurately describe the characteristics of the Nightmare Sky Mist, the white-robed man immediately showed a look of horror and became agitated, stirring up boundless fire waves that surged towards the group.

"As for how to break this illusion..."

Xiao Lei, facing the boundless fire waves, casually waved his sleeve, then spoke unhurriedly.

"I say, all attacks before us shall dissipate!"

In an instant, as if his words commanded the Dao, the surging fire waves immediately vanished, turning into a gentle breeze that swept past them.

The white-robed man stared intently at Xiao Lei.

And Xiao Lei spoke again.

"I say, the person before us shall be consumed by flames!"

As soon as he spoke, a wisp of black flame inexplicably ignited on the white robes, burning the white-robed man to ashes in an instant.

The latter only had time to glare at Xiao Lei before he disappeared.

Xiao Lei didn't care in the slightest. If it weren't to personally experience the Nightmare Sky Mist, the other party wouldn't even have the qualifications to pull him into an illusion!

"I say, the illusion before us shall dissipate!"

The surroundings collapsed, and everyone's vision shifted. A grand hall appeared before their eyes.

The true form of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was also revealed without a doubt at this moment.

The latter was also staring intently at Xiao Lei and the others.

On Xiao Lei's body, it sensed an aura no weaker than that of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint back then.

At the same time, a light flickered on Qing Lin's forehead, and then a halo appeared around Qing Lin's body, from which an ancient remnant Soul revived.

The phantom spoke leisurely, yet with endless disappointment, "I didn't expect that after several millennia, your tyranny hasn't weakened with the erosion of time; instead, it has grown stronger. If you are allowed to rampage across the Continent, who knows how many disasters it will cause. Today, I shall completely obliterate your Soul!"

Hearing this, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame even suppressed its fear of Xiao Lei and began to curse at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"It's been millennia! I've been trapped in this space every day. I'm tired of it!"

"Pure Lotus Demon Saint, it was I who made you! It was I who allowed you to stand at the peak of the Continent, it was I who helped you become a Half-Emperor, but what about you! Did you ever fulfill your promise to break through to Dou Di and avenge me by absorbing the Origin!"

"Not only did you not do it, you even restricted my freedom after your death!"

"You deserve to die!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint had died millennia ago and would no longer be stirred by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's words. The purpose of the method he left behind was always only one!

That was to obliterate the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's sentience!

Having just awakened, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was initially worried if his remaining power was enough to accomplish this, but now he noticed Xiao Lei beside him.

"I didn't expect that a genius like Your Excellency would appear in later generations, capable of reaching the cultivation of a Half-Emperor at such a young age, and even mastering such a number of Heavenly Flames!"

"If the Purification Lotus Demon Flame breaks the Seal, the world will surely be plunged into misery. My friend from a thousand years later, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lei naturally wouldn't refuse. "It's easy to say. You can wait on the side; I can handle it! But as compensation... I need your insights and understanding of the Nightmare Sky Mist!"

Hearing this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was first startled, then reacted. Yes, as a Half-Emperor, it would be effortless to destroy the Purification Lotus Demon Flame's sentience alone.

"My only obsession is to obliterate the Demonic Flame's Soul. As for this Nightmare Sky Mist, if you are interested, what harm is there in giving it to you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lei suddenly erupted. A crimson-gold Heavenly Flame surged out from his body, and its monstrous aura directly assailed the Purification Lotus Demon Flame. The latter was instantly captured without even having a chance to activate the Heaven Refining Array.

"This is the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, when did this happen!"

On the Fighting Qi Continent, there could only be one Purification Lotus Demon Flame; this was an iron rule that had existed for countless years!

But now, it was truly broken before the Pure Lotus Demon Saint!

Before the Pure Lotus Demon Saint could recover from his shock, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame had already been seized by Xiao Lei. Immediately, countless milky-white flames poured into its Origin, and its Soul was shattered.

"I truly didn't expect that people of later generations could achieve such a degree. Perhaps, you can truly find the secret to breaking through to Dou Di!"

"The Nightmare Sky Mist is bestowed upon you, and it will not diminish its prestige!"

As he spoke, much information scattered from the halo, and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint dissipated into the heavens and earth.

At this moment, Qing Lin fully recovered her senses, looking at Xiao Lei before her with some confusion.

Xiao Lei had already obtained the Nightmare Sky Mist from the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, but the latter was not the creator of the Dou Technique, and its methods were far inferior to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. However, after obtaining the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's insights, Xiao Lei was able to quickly integrate them.

"Begin, Qing Lin. This is your Opportunity."

The Demonic Flame in his hand was still emitting rolling heat waves, its Heavenly Flame energy seemingly endless.

"Of course, it's also your Opportunity!"

With that, a emerald green light burst from Xiao Lei's pupils. The illusion instantly connected, mixed with some barely perceptible Demonic Flame, and everyone entered a special illusion.

Afterward, Xiao Lei took out a dagger, and without any hesitation, he directly lifted his clothes and stabbed the Bodhi Heart on his body, digging it out and then pouring it into Yun Yun's body.

Following that were numerous Medicinal Pills that had been prepared long ago, all given to Qing Lin in preparation for absorbing the Demonic Flame.

With a movement of his hands, a grand array appeared in space, named Heaven Refining.

Using this array as a Foundation, and then mobilizing the Demonic Flame space's energy to empower the five women!

Xiao Lei then completed a simplified version of the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation. In that illusion, which was both real and fake, Qing Lin would successfully absorb the Heavenly Flame... A year passed in a flash.

The Five Clans rushed to various places, searching for all traces of Xiao Lei, but ultimately found nothing. After all, Xiao Lei possessed the spatial abilities of the Dragon Phoenix, which were the best on the Fighting Qi Continent at that time.

And the people of the Five Clans gathered again, but it was because of the anomaly in the Demonic Flame space, which caused the two who projected their Souls onto the Continent daily to discover some abnormalities...
