"Youth are formidable. I didn't expect to meet a younger generation like you after so many years~"

With a chuckle, light words came out from the mouth of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and his milky white eyes showed some surprise. After all, this was the first time he saw the condition of Yao Yan's body. His Dou Qi cultivation was obviously not very good, only at the level of a mid-stage six-star Dou Sheng, but he could contain ten kinds of strange fires and even control them perfectly. In addition, he also possessed the soul power of the emperor level.

To be able to possess such strength at this age can only be described as terrifying. Even he was far inferior to him back then, because when his soul realm broke through the Emperor Realm, he had already stepped into the peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint for hundreds of years, and Yao Yan was so young that he was almost not even a fraction of his age.

"Hello, senior!" Yao Yan bowed and gave the invincible and powerful man the respect he deserved.

"What's your name?" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint looked at Yao Yan curiously and asked.

"Yao Yan." Yao Yan said without hesitation. He preferred the name Yao Yan to the name Hun Yan because this name marked the beginning of his coming to this world, the only legacy left to him by his parents in this life, and also the last bit of their thoughts.

When people are alive, they always need some emotional support. If they don’t even have this little bit of emotion, they can’t be called human beings. He doesn’t want to become a person like Emperor Hun Tian.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing strength, but if you give up everything in pursuit of strength, then there is no point in living.

"Are you from the Medicine Clan?" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint obviously knew about the Emperor Clan and asked.

"My mother is from the Medicine Clan, and my father is from the Soul Clan... Now I am considered the young patriarch of the Soul Clan." Yao Yan said slowly. There was no need for him to play any tricks on a soul shadow that had been dead for many years. Moreover, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in front of him did not have much power anymore and was not enough to pose a threat to him.

Upon hearing this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was surprised. He obviously didn't expect Yao Yan's situation to be so interesting. His last name was Yao, but he became the young patriarch of the Soul Clan. It was really interesting. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I remember that in my time, the major imperial clans were forbidden to marry with outsiders. When did the Soul Clan and the Medicine Clan have such a good relationship?"

"It wasn't good. In fact, the relationship between the two clans was very bad. I am special. The imperial blood of my father and mother was not strong. But later I met my teacher, a six-star alchemist at the peak of the Dou Sheng level. He refined the blood of the Soul Devouring Clan into my body, making me compatible with the Dou Emperor blood of the two clans..." Yao Yan slowly recounted the past events, his expression revealing a hint of reminiscence.

In the blink of an eye, it seems like a long time has passed...

"The Soul-Swallowing Clan... I didn't expect that the human race could be compatible with the blood of this clan, and even use it to fuse the blood of the two clans' Dou Emperors. Interesting... It seems that your teacher is also a genius." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint said with interest, as if he had no taboos about this, but was extremely interested in it.

Obviously, this Pure Lotus Demon Saint is not a good person... But it is true that in the original novel, this Pure Lotus Demon Saint, in order to study fighting skills, directly brought a city with a population of one million into his dream, and the dream lasted for hundreds of years!

This method is really evil!
“Ten kinds of strange fire have merged in your body, so the spirit of strange fire should have been born. Let’s release it and see~” The Pure Lotus Demon Saint pondered for a moment, and his milky white eyes showed a little more brilliance as he spoke.

"Ling'er~" Yao Yan called out, and suddenly a ball of brilliant flame appeared behind him, and then condensed into a pretty figure.

About 1.2 meters tall, with long emerald green hair, and emerald green eyes open, staring at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint vigilantly. A fierce but cute expression appeared on her delicate face. Her pair of big furry ears were erected, and her big tail was swinging restlessly. It was obvious that she was extremely wary of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, an outsider.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint paused, looked at Ling'er at Yao Yan's legs and feet, and said with surprise, "Is its true form the Flame of Living Beings? I also wanted to find this fire back then, but unfortunately, its hiding ability is too strong. I have been searching for hundreds of years but still can't find its whereabouts. I didn't expect you to be able to get it."

The ability of the Flame of Life to increase a person's lifespan is very attractive to a powerful being like the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. However, its concealment skills are extremely strong, and unless one is lucky, one cannot detect it even if it appears right under one's nose.

Back then, the Demon Saint Pure Lotus went through a lot of trouble in his search for the Flame of Life.

"I am also lucky. I met her when I was a teenager, and she has been with me ever since I grew up." Yao Yan raised his hand and touched Ling'er's head, comforting the uneasy little girl. She learned a lot from Tianzihuo, but unfortunately she still didn't become much braver, and her personality was still a bit... homely, which seemed to be incompatible with the strange fire at all.

After all, most of the strange fires are extremely violent things, and the strange fire spirits they give birth to are naturally the same. The flame of life is undoubtedly the most peculiar among the many strange fires.

"When I met the little demon, he was just like this little guy, with clear eyes, like a baby... Unfortunately, he eventually took the wrong path, and his personality became more and more extreme, difficult to correct." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint looked at Ling'er, as if thinking of his past, and sighed softly, looking at Yao Yan, "Since you have this fate, you should teach her well and never let her go down a path of no return. Back then, I didn't guide the Pure Lotus Demon Fire well, causing his personality to become extremely violent and bloodthirsty. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late."

Maybe you can't teach him at all... Yao Yan knew the situation of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Although his memory was tampered with by Tushe Ancient Emperor and he lost some of his memory, his character had not changed. When the Pure Lotus Demon Saint met him, he was only at his weakest, not completely "formatted". Later, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire recovered with the help of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's power. By then, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint had no chance to teach him anymore, and was reluctant to reformat him.

"Ling'er won't~" Yao Yan looked at the little guy beside him, smiled slightly, and said softly.

"Indeed he won't... I can see that, this little fellow is very attached to you, unlike a little demon... Alas~" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint said halfway, shook his head and sighed, as if he didn't want to continue on this topic. After all, it would be tears if he talked too much. He always treated the Pure Lotus Demon Fire as a family member, but the Pure Lotus Demon Fire wanted to kill him all day long... He was so helpless.

The spirit of the strange fire that had been nurtured since childhood was full of hatred for him, its closest relative, and only wanted to kill him. The more he taught, the more violent and unhappy the Pure Lotus Demon Fire became. It was full of thoughts of destroying the world, and even threatened that once it was born, it would wash the world in blood.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint was finally forced into a corner, and with his time limit approaching, he had no choice but to seal him up completely, hoping that he would reflect on himself.

Thinking of this, he looked expectant and said slowly, "Little demon... has the Pure Lotus Demon Fire been subdued by anyone?"

"No, and as far as I know, countless warriors from various races have been killed in the past thousands of years!" Yao Yan shook his head and told the other party the truth. After a pause, he continued, "It should be less than three years before the next one comes out."

“Three years…” Upon hearing this, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded, looked at Yao Yan, and said slowly: “If he can change, I hope you can preserve his spiritual wisdom. If not… I will help you obtain the origin of his strange fire!”

"Senior, are you unable to open the Demonic Fire Space now?" Yao Yan said with some confusion.

"In order to trap the little demon, I used the power of heaven and earth to condense the Ancient Heaven Refining Formation. This formation can only be opened slightly on special days... Unless I can recover to my peak strength, I cannot force it open with my current strength." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint shook his head slightly and said.

"Okay, I promise, senior!" Yao Yan agreed directly, because he knew very well what kind of character the Pure Lotus Demon Fire had become. After being sealed for thousands of years, his heart was filled with tyranny and destruction, and he no longer had any other ideas.

“Thank you!” The Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled, thought for a moment, and continued, “In return, I can teach you the unique skills I learned after I became a semi-emperor… You have the soul power of the emperor level, so it shouldn’t be difficult to learn!”

It's rare to see a younger generation that suits his taste, with excellent talent and extremely handsome appearance. He also has a strange fire spirit by his side. He is simply a perfect replica of him. How can I let go of such a successor?

"Thank you very much, senior!" Yao Yan was stunned when he heard the words, and then said with a smile. He originally planned to test it out, but he never thought that the other party would take the initiative to bring it up.

Think of this.

There was also a bit more doting in his eyes when he looked at Ling'er, because Yao Yan could feel that the Pure Lotus Demon Saint made such a choice, to a large extent, because of Ling'er beside him.

Ling'er didn't know what Yao Yan was thinking, but she could feel that Yao Yan was in a good mood at the moment. She immediately showed a smiling expression and tilted her head to look at Yao Yan. This scene also made the Pure Lotus Demon Saint recall the past. Unfortunately, the little demon was not as well-behaved as Ling'er. He was a rebellious child to the extreme.

He shook his head slightly, not wanting to think about it. He looked at Yao Yan and said slowly, "My inheritance is all related to illusions. Without the soul power of the emperor level, it is impossible to control it, and it may even harm others and yourself. However, your soul power has met the requirements. You should be able to control it after learning a little. This technique is a trick to deceive the sky. It can create an illusion that is no different from the real world with the nightmare sky fog. It is what I realized after entering the semi-emperor realm... In terms of the level of fighting skills, it is enough to surpass the heaven level!"

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at Yao Yan's forehead. Suddenly, a stream of light shot out from his fingertips and sank into Yao Yan's forehead.

Yao Yan did not resist this. He sat cross-legged in the void and closed his eyes to accept it. Suddenly, a large amount of information and insights flooded into his mind. Countless techniques about the use of soul power and illusions emerged, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

The fighting skills that Pure Lotus Demon Saint comprehended after entering the semi-emperor realm have indeed surpassed the scope of fighting skills. Yao Yan prefers to call them magical powers!

It is no longer a simple condensation of heaven and earth energy or fighting spirit to fight the enemy. It is more like an application of the rules of heaven and earth. Its power is unpredictable. It can be indistinguishable from the real thing, similar to flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. It constructs an illusion that can deceive anyone, even a being of the same level. As long as they are in the world constructed by the nightmare sky fog, they cannot escape and become the plaything of the controller. It can even influence people's thoughts, making the other party live in the illusion all the time, and the body becomes a puppet controlled by it.

terror!
Yao Yan slowly opened his eyes, a look of amazement emerged in the depths of his eyes. The Pure Lotus Demon Saint was indeed the closest existence to the Dou Emperor back then. He could actually create such a terrifying fighting skill. Compared with him, the Heavenly Grade Fighting Skill was indeed not good enough. After all, no matter how strong the Heavenly Grade Fighting Skill was, it was only used at the Dou Qi level, while this technique had reached the point of using the rules of heaven and earth, and had no upper limit to its growth at all. It would gradually increase with the strength of the user.

The stronger Yao Yan is, the more terrifying the power of this technique will be!
"How do you feel?" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint looked at Yao Yan who had opened his eyes and chuckled.

“The skills that the senior has realized have indeed surpassed the scope of fighting skills and have reached another level!” Yao Yan said sincerely. If this world had not been sealed and the original imperial energy had not been lost, with the Pure Lotus Demon Saint’s past talent and achievements, the bottleneck of the Fighting Emperor would definitely not have been able to stop him.

Being able to achieve the status of a half-emperor in a world where the original imperial energy is cut off, and without relying on the power of others, it can be seen that the talent of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is terrifying, even stronger than that of Xiao Xuan, Huangquan Demon Saint and others!

After all, Xiao Xuan relied on the support of his clan and almost refined the entire Xiao clan before reaching the level of half-emperor, and the Huangquan Demon Saint was a half-emperor in ancient times. In that era, both the energy of heaven and earth and the resources for cultivation were much stronger than they are today.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint was a powerful half-emperor from thousands of years ago!
“I hope you can perfect this technique. I have a feeling that its end point is far from limited to this.” The Pure Lotus Demon Saint said slowly, and the shadow of his soul became a little dimmer. It was obvious that instilling the inheritance of Yao Yan had cost him a lot of energy.

Yao Yan nodded and promised: "I will perfect it completely!"

"The energy of my soul body is about to be exhausted, and I will fall into a deep sleep... When the Demon Fire Space is opened, I will wake up." The Pure Lotus Demon Fire said, and his eyes stayed on Ling'er for a moment, as if he saw the shadow of the little demon in the past. He smiled at her, and then his figure dissipated, turning into a unique soul print, which was imprinted on Yao Yan's wrist.

"Huh~" Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Pure Lotus Demon Saint disappear. Her perception was very sharp and she could clearly feel the horror of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Even though only a shadow of his soul was left, the terrifying aura of him who had once been an invincible and powerful being was still frightening.

"Little idiot~" Seeing this scene, Yao Yan chuckled and knocked her head. Seeing the little girl holding her head in grievance, he felt inexplicably good. He took it back into his body, then took a step forward and headed towards the ancient wilderness.

Next, it’s time to look for the ancient Bodhi tree! (End of this chapter)
