With the help of the Dragon Phoenix Art, Xiao Yan had temporarily adopted the physiques of Xun'er and Cai Lin, allowing him to successfully blast Liu Feng away. However, just as he prepared to press the advantage, two powerful auras erupted behind him. The terrifying forces surged down upon his location—it was Mu Chen and Lin Dong, who had just broken free from the restraints of the Eight-Ancestors Glazed Bowl and the Spirit-Refining Buddha Pagoda.
The combined strikes left Xiao Yan with no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Liu Feng. He turned swiftly and pointed toward the void, summoning a dazzling flaming disc. As the disc spun, it radiated an aura of reincarnation, instantly deflecting Lin Dong and Mu Chen's attacks.
Seeing their assault repelled by Xiao Yan's Buddha's Wrath Reincarnation, Lin Dong and Mu Chen didn't back down. They once again charged forward, unleashing an even more ferocious offensive in an attempt to subdue Xiao Yan on the spot.
Lin Dong struck first, launching a punch across the void. Billions of Azure Dragon light runes spiraled out, coalescing into a massive dragon-fist that roared toward Xiao Yan. Within the Azure Dragon's gaping jaws, eight strange lights intertwined—each exuding a terrifyingly violent energy that could be sensed even from afar.
Mu Chen followed up by raising the white sacred pillar once more. Spiritual energy surged wildly as the pillar expanded to nearly a million zhang in height. Then, under his command, it crashed down like a fallen divine column from myth, aiming straight for Xiao Yan.
Confronted with this dual assault, Xiao Yan dared not be careless. A golden glint flashed in his left eye as he activated Zi Yan's Taixu Ancient Dragon and Dragon-Phoenix physiques. A brilliant golden sword spun rapidly into existence before him, surrounded by flickers of lightning and faint dragon roars—it was none other than the Dragon-Slaying Sword of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan.
Though Xiao Yan had once possessed a Dragon-Slaying Sword, that weapon had long since been reforged into his Demonic Sword—a soul weapon. This new one was manifested by tapping into Zi Yan's Dragon Emperor bloodline via the Dragon Phoenix Art.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword bore an innate suppressive power over all dragon bloodlines. Even in the Great Thousand World, its effects remained potent. Xiao Yan had specifically summoned it to counter Lin Dong's attack. As for Mu Chen's sacred pillar, Xiao Yan called upon Hun Dai'er's Hun Clan bloodline. With a spatial tear, a blood-colored blade emerged from a sea of viscous blood and slashed straight toward the descending white pillar.
This blade was the Ghostblood Blade of the Soul Severing Emperor, a weapon from the lower realms' Hun Clan. Though not a product of the upper planes, its power was no weaker than the Eternal Ancient Ruler. So long as it absorbed enough blood, it could rival even some of the most supreme techniques in the Great Thousand World.
The bloodline divine ability Xiao Yan gained through activating Hun Dai'er's Soul Clan physique was precisely this blade—normally only usable via the Soul-Eating Life-Severing Array. As for the required sacrificial blood, Xiao Yan had already prepared it: the extraterritorial evil race captives sealed in the Heavenly Tomb after their annihilation. Their blood was more than enough to push the blade to its peak.
Boom!
Four devastating forces collided head-on. The impact annihilated the space that had only just been restored, ripping it back into void. Lin Dong and Mu Chen were blasted backward once again. Before they could recover, countless spiritual seals emerged in their surroundings.
These seals wove together into a massive spiritual array that enveloped the two of them. The array bloomed like a demonic lotus—it was the Demonic Lotus Array!
Since ascending to the Great Thousand World, Xiao Yan had continuously improved upon the Ninefold Wrath of the Demon Lotus. Under his revisions, the Demonic Lotus Array, derived from Demonic Lotus Death Steps, had become terrifyingly powerful—stronger even than the Grand World Demon Array set by the Immortal Emperor himself.
As the Demonic Lotus Array activated, it released boundless might. Though it couldn't defeat Lin Dong and Mu Chen outright, it could hold them at bay long enough. That was all Xiao Yan needed to finally finish off Liu Feng.
At that moment, Liu Feng charged back into the fray. But unlike before, he didn't attempt to help Lin Dong and Mu Chen. Instead, he locked onto Xiao Yan directly and unleashed a lethal strike.
As Liu Feng's attack came flying in, Xiao Yan calmly clenched his palm—and in that instant, Liu Feng's swift motion suddenly froze. A strange toxin had silently infiltrated his body, gnawing away at him from within. Even more chilling was the icy force within the poison that sluggishly disrupted his energy flow.
With Liu Feng's strength, most toxins should have been completely ineffective. But this was no ordinary venom—it was from the Woeful Poison Body, passed down from Xiao Yixian. Empowered further by Xiao Yan's strength and amplified through the Flame Emperor, it created an anomaly that should have been impossible.
As for the chilling force, that came from Qing Tan's Ice Spirit Physique combined with the power of the Eight Ancestral Symbols. Together, they caused Liu Feng's movements to dull just enough for Xiao Yan to gain a decisive edge.
Before Liu Feng could dispel the negative effects, Xiao Yan's pupils shifted once more—not from the Dragon Phoenix Art this time, but as a signal of the Nine Profound Nirvana Skyburning Eye activating.
His left eye gleamed like multicolored glass, radiating with shifting brilliance that seemed to birth entire worlds. His right eye, in contrast, was pitch black like endless night, demonic energy surging violently as if to devour all existence. Though these two forces were in stark opposition, they shared one trait—their power was overwhelming.
This time, the buildup for the Nine Profound Nirvana Skyburning Eye was longer than ever before. Which meant only one thing—its destructive force would vastly exceed any of its previous activations. And on top of that, Xiao Yan had applied further secret techniques to amplify it even more.
