667. Fire Lotus Condensation
The two sides clashed in an instant, and the intense fluctuations of their fighting spirit drew another round of attention.
"What's going on? Our ancestor is almost being refined!" An elder, half-buried under the rubble, struggled to lift his head, staring incredulously at the suddenly erupting core battlefield. "How can anyone still dare to confront the Spirit Race head-on?"
Even some of the powerful members of the Pill Tower, who had initially chosen to hide under the suppression of the Spirit Race, took the initiative to intervene upon seeing the intense situation. These included Elder Su Huo of the Soul Skill Pavilion, the Fire-Headed Cat-Owl, the magical beast beside Dan Chen, and Elder Hai Ka, who was in charge of forging.
Accompanied by a loud eagle cry that pierced the night sky, the giant fire-headed owl spread its wings, which were burning with orange-red flames, and swooped down from the sky like a burning meteorite. All those flames it usually had were not for nothing.
"Protect the Ancestor! Protect Xiao Yan!"
"Let's fight these scum!"
"For the sake of the Dan Tower, we'll fight to the death!"
Although the Spirit Clan had subdued most of their mid-level and strong members in their previous operations, there were always some who slipped through the net. As Xiao Yan's actions became too conspicuous, they all spontaneously joined the battle on this side.
The behemoth that had stood in the Central Continent for thousands of years once again unleashed unimaginable resilience. The Dan Tower was not as strong as the Spirit Clan, but it was definitely not as weak as one that would crumble at the first blow.
A barely perceptible look of astonishment and solemnity flashed in Ling Fengzhui's eyes. He felt the intensity of his attack. Everyone was doing their best, but it seemed that they were always just one breath short of breaking through the defense and affecting Xiao Yan.
"Is there really no way to stop him?" Ling Fengzhui's breathing became heavy, veins bulged on his forehead, and the vast battle qi in his body surged out like a flood.
"It's done!" Xiao Yan's face was deathly pale, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat emanating from his body. His palms seemed to be supporting a volcano about to erupt, the faint light leaking from between his fingers carrying an aura of incineration. The intense heat was constantly surging out, even affecting him, its master.
Despite the tough energy film formed by the Flame Burning Body Forging Pill protecting his body, the destructive energy contained within the Six-Colored Fire Lotus still managed to penetrate through the layers of protection, making Xiao Yan feel as if his bones and meridians were being branded with a hot iron.
The ferocity and purity of this power far surpassed any previous fusion. The terrifying power of the six-colored fireball surprised even Xiao Yan; wherever it was released, it was enough to instantly overturn the entire battlefield.
Xiao Yan looked up at the battlefield. The Pill Tower Ancestor had completely lost his human form, and only five pillars of light remained, which had been continuously channeling into him. These five thick chains of light, like greedy, blood-sucking tentacles, tightly coiled around the violently fluctuating, shrinking chaotic azure light at the core. One of them had already stood above the Pill Tower Ancestor, and torrents of extremely refined energy were being forcibly drawn from the Pill Tower Ancestor's origin and continuously poured into that person's body.
Even though Xiao Yan was so far away, he could still feel the aura of that Dou Sheng expert constantly rising.
Although the Pill Tower Ancestor's true form is a pill, after thousands of years of self-cultivation, he has long since transcended the characteristics of ordinary pills. If swallowed directly in one gulp, even a Dou Sheng powerhouse would be instantly burst apart by his immense energy. After all, fighting against a six-star Dou Sheng and directly causing a six-star Dou Sheng to erupt within your body are completely different levels of difficulty.
At this moment, the Spirit Clan was clearly not acting recklessly. They were using their exquisite and powerful runic array as a container and refining furnace, aided by the other Dou Sheng powerhouses and Ling Haonan's refining power, to devour the Pill Tower Ancestor. Once he succeeded, the situation in the Pill Tower tonight would be irreversible.
Xiao Yan immediately turned his gaze back. There was still one last type of flame that hadn't been fused, and he had to hurry!
When he summoned the black flames, the black flames seemed to gain sentience and completely disobeyed Xiao Yan's commands. They violently twisted their black flame bodies and rushed towards the direction where the Pill Tower Ancestor was.
"What?" Almost as soon as the thought flashed through his mind, he activated the Burning Technique with all his might. His immense soul power transformed into an invisible giant hand, fiercely grabbing at the black flame. However, the black flame seemed to have completely broken free of its restraints, escaping again in a flash. An unexpected turn of events had occurred; the black flame was disobedient, meaning the fusion of the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus would inevitably be impossible. Xiao Yan had neither the time nor the energy to retrieve the black flame. Such an unexpected turn of events at this critical juncture filled him with apprehension.
"There's no time left!" In this tense atmosphere, there was no room for Xiao Yan to make amends. The last trace of hesitation in Xiao Yan's eyes melted away like ice and snow, instantly replaced by a resolute determination to perish together with his opponent.
In that instant, his hands transformed into two almost imperceptible phantoms, his ten fingers dancing rapidly on the tip of a flaming blade, pulling, blending, suppressing, and balancing. The final fusion had begun, and now no mistake could be tolerated; tonight's success or failure rested entirely in Xiao Yan's hands.
Six flames, each with completely different characteristics. Three of these flames did not belong to Xiao Yan himself; he was exploring and experimenting while simultaneously fusing them. The entire space seemed to be ignited by this interwoven core of six colors, the temperature suddenly rising to a terrifying level. Each collision and fusion of different fire attributes unleashed energy ripples powerful enough to instantly incinerate an ordinary Dou Zong.
A slight tremor seemed to come from the Netherworld, and a six-colored flame lotus, no bigger than a palm, breathtakingly beautiful and indescribably gorgeous, slowly rotating in Xiao Yan's palm.
A six-colored fire lotus! Successfully formed!
Xiao Yan's heart pounded violently with excitement and exhaustion. He licked his dry, bleeding lips, and an unprecedented surge of heroic spirit, accompanied by extreme fatigue, welled up inside him.
"Senior Muwei, where is the key point?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wei reacted instantly, his Dou Qi surging in his hand. A blindingly bright white beam of Dou Qi shot past like a shooting star, helping Xiao Yan pinpoint a basic direction. Although it wasn't perfectly precise, Xiao Yan knew it was enough! This fire lotus was a purely indiscriminate, large-scale destructive attack. Once the destructive core of the explosion erupted in that area, the destructive storm it released instantly would be enough to completely cover and utterly destroy that vulnerable node area.
