"Junior, I sense the aura of the little demon. Are we now in the demon fire space?"
The appearance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is exactly the same as the Pure Lotus Demon Flame outside...
Well, or rather, the image of this Pure Lotus Demon Flame Spirit was originally based on the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's transformation.
Even though Ye Chen was the master of this place and possessed a soul realm at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, he still felt immense pressure when standing before the remnant soul of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.
"Is this the powerhouse who was just one step away from becoming a Dou Di...?"
At this moment, Ye Chen finally felt the terror of an Emperor-level soul.
No wonder my soul attributes are so abnormal now, yet I still can't even get close to the Emperor Realm soul...
“That’s right, we are now trapped in the Demon Flame Space by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame…” Ye Chen directly explained the situation outside to the Demon Saint.

"Sigh..."
"It seems that after all these years, its nature has not changed..." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint's tone was filled with a deep sense of loss and regret.
Although he was once the strongest being on this land, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint had no relatives of his own. The Pure Lotus Demon Flame had always been with him, and he watched the Pure Lotus Demon Flame grow little by little and transform into a true spirit.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two can be described as that of master and apprentice, father and son.
Unfortunately, as it grew, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame became increasingly violent and showed no respect for life. So when its lifespan was exhausted, it finally chose to seal it away.
This approach may well be intended to protect the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...
After all, while the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was powerful at the time, it was far from invincible. Without its backer, the most likely outcome for it if it appeared on the continent would be that it would be captured by powerful figures, have its intelligence erased, and be subdued.
This approach is no different from killing "lesser demons," which is exactly what the Pure Lotus Demon Saint least wants to see.
Unfortunately, my good intentions were not appreciated by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame; in fact, they made it even more extreme and violent. It seems I have no choice but to make a decision...
"Young man, let's make a deal. I can help you subdue the little demon and personally erase his memories. But you must promise me that you won't destroy the little demon's intelligence..."
Although erasing memories is often similar to killing a person, as long as the spirit remains, the little demon can continue to exist and grow, which is much better than being directly killed, right?
Ye Chen agreed without thinking for too long.
Even without memories, as long as the Pure Lotus Demon Flame retains its intelligence, its strength will not diminish. In this case, it is equivalent to having an additional combat power that is no less than that of a six-star Dou Sheng. This is much better than returning it to its original demon flame form!
"Alright, then give me control of this body first, let me stop the little demon from going further mad..."
Just as Ye Chen and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint were talking in the soul space, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame outside had already erupted again...
"Whoever dares to stop me from escaping today, I will refine them to ashes! Old thing, your true form is a pill, but I want to see what you can become after I refine you again!"
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame roared to the sky, its form suddenly shooting into the heavens, and streaks of milky white fire shot out, eventually penetrating the entire space of the demon flame.
"The Ancient Heaven Refining Formation appears!"
As these fire lines shot into the depths of space, to everyone's horror, they saw a massive fire array, nearly tens of thousands of feet in size, slowly emerge from the void above...
"Boom!"
As the grand formation appeared in the sky, the boundless sea of lava also churned, and finally, to everyone's astonishment, a super-massive fire formation slowly emerged...
When the two fire arrays appeared, one above the other, even the old patriarch of the Pill Tower and the old man of the Soul Demon's face instantly turned ugly.
This is a huge problem.
Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.
This terrifying formation is many times stronger than the Great Luo Demon Sealing Formation previously cast by the Soul Palace Master. With the support of such a powerful formation, who could possibly be a match for this Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?!

Looking at the massive array in the sky and on the lava sea, everyone felt as if their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.
They could sense that if the formation were to release even a tiny bit of its energy, it could easily kill them all...
Even with a six-star Dou Sheng like the Pill Tower Ancestor, it was useless.
This can be understood by looking at Xiao Chen, the patriarch of the Xiao family, who has now recovered the terrifying aura of the late stage of a five-star Dou Sheng, but is still deeply affected by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"What should we do? This great formation was originally used by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to seal the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but I never expected that this guy would control it..."
With this powerful formation, even you, Old Ghost, are no match for us. We have no choice but to join forces now..." The Soul Demon Elder's face was gloomy as he turned to the Pill Tower Ancestor, who resembled a bull-riding boy.
The patriarch of the Pill Tower did not refuse, and said in a deep voice: "The Heaven Refining Array is divided into two aspects, Heaven and Earth. I will deal with the Heaven Array, and I will leave the Earth Array to you and this powerful expert from the Dragon Clan!"
"Alright!" the old man of the Soul Demon said through gritted teeth.
"Xiao Chen, Ye Chen, and the little girl from the Ancient Void Dragon, Gu Nanhai, you all come with me to deal with the Heavenly Array!" The Pill Tower Ancestor turned his head and gently called out to Ye Chen and the others.
As for the remaining Soul Palace Master, Huo Yao, Yao Wangui, and others, they went to assist the Soul Demon Elder and Candle Elder in dealing with the Earth Formation...
At this moment, we must put aside all grudges and work together to seize a chance for survival!
However, before they could even make a move, Ye Chen, who had been at the back, stepped forward and stood directly in front of the enormous demonic fire statue in the sky…
"Brother?!"
"Master?!"
……
……
"What is this guy doing? Is he looking for death?"
This scene shocked everyone, followed by screams from Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and the other two women, and an angry shout from the Soul Palace Master.
Even the old patriarch of the Pill Tower frowned deeply, unable to understand why Ye Chen would make such a dangerous move.
Of course, they soon understood...
Upon arriving before the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, a voice completely unlike Ye Chen's murmured: "Little demon, thousands of years of sealing have failed to quell the violence within you..."
Although the voice was calm, every word conveyed a kind of oppressive power that made heaven and earth tremble.
At the same time, a phantom figure appeared above Ye Chen's sacred body...
"Who...who is that?!" Everyone shuddered at the sight of that face, which was exactly the same as the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!
"You bastard, Pure Lotus Demon Saint, you ungrateful wretch! Without me, could you have achieved so much? I helped you so much, and in the end you sealed me away..."
Haha, serves you right for dying from the backlash in the end!
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame stared at "Ye Chen" with a ferocious expression, laughing wildly as if it wanted to unleash all the boundless hatred in its heart.
"The Pure Lotus Demon Saint?! It really is him..."
When everyone heard those four words from the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, they were all filled with disbelief...
Why did the Pure Lotus Demon Saint appear on Ye Chen?
"Is it the ancient map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame that has been passed down?!"
The next moment, people like Xuan Kongzi, Qing Lin, and Little Fairy Doctor, who were close to Ye Chen, appeared.
The reason was immediately clear to everyone.
"I never expected that the complete ancient map would contain the remnant image of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. It seems that this was the last means left by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to control the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."
Xuan Kongzi speculated in his mind.
However, this scene caused the Soul Clan members' expressions to change drastically...
This is not just because Ye Chen might be able to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Also, if Ye Chen really gains control of everything here, wouldn't they be in dire straits?
At this moment, even the old man of the Soul Demon felt that things were about to spiral completely out of control...
Upon seeing the person who had sealed him away for thousands of years, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was clearly out of control and was about to activate the Refining Heaven Ancient Array.
Unfortunately, this Refining Heaven Ancient Formation was originally set up by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Even though the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had been comprehending it for thousands of years and had been able to control some of its aspects, everything was already destined after its true master appeared!
"Certainly!"
As this faint sound rang out, the terrifying array that had already been activated instantly froze, and no matter how much the Pure Lotus Demon Flame roared, it could not change it in the slightest...
"Don't waste your energy. This Heaven-Refining Ancient Formation was created by me. In terms of understanding it, you are no match for me..."
A single, calm remark sent the Pure Lotus Demon Flame into a rage once more.
Unfortunately, he was powerless to resist his former master. He was completely suppressed by the power of the great formation activated by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and could not even move an inch...
Next, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint planned to release the people trapped in the Demon Flame Space, and then he would keep his promise and assist Ye Chen in subduing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
This approach delighted everyone.
Who cares who subdues this demonic fire now? Their own lives are the most important thing!
Through the external passage opened by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, everyone rushed out in a rush. Even the Fire Clan, the Medicine Clan, the Ancient Clan, and Xiao Yan and others flew towards the passage without any hesitation...
However, just as the Soul Demon Elder and the Soul Palace Master were unwillingly preparing to leave with their people, they were directly blocked by a white flame...
This scene caused the faces of everyone in the Soul Palace to darken, and they looked up at the sky...
"May I ask, senior, what is the meaning of this?" The old man of the Soul Demon was furious, but he could only suppress his anger and ask.
But at that moment, Ye Chen's voice came from above, saying, "If you Soul Clan members want to leave, then make your young clan leader hand over the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Flame on your body..."
"What?! Void Devouring Flame?!"
This sentence immediately caused an uproar among the ancient clans members who had not yet left the space.
Who would have thought that the young patriarch of the Soul Clan would possess the Void Devouring Flame? This means that the Soul Clan has mastered this Strange Flame, which ranks second on the Strange Flame Ranking!
Of course, this isn't really a secret, since there are people who know that the Soul Clan possesses the Void Devouring Flame, such as Gu Yuan, who once fought against the Void Devouring Flame...
However, apart from the true high-ranking members of the ancient clans and the ancient clans, the other clans were completely unaware of this news.
Hun Feng trembled when Ye Chen called him out, inwardly cursing Ye Chen to the point of no return!
Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, he didn't even have the right to negotiate. In the end, all he could do was, under everyone's watchful eyes, release a jet-black flame from his body that kept entangling and devouring everything around it...

Chapter 500 Cleansing the Demonic Fire
Looking at the black flame in his hand, which he had heavily sealed but which was still releasing its terrifying devouring power, Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile.
Then, with that meaningful smile, Ye Chen opened the path for the Soul Clan and the others to leave.
The reason for letting them leave was that Ye Chen didn't want a full-scale conflict with the Soul Clan right now...
Although the Soul Clan is currently engaged in its own schemes, and the truly powerful members have no energy to attend to other matters, if their young clan leader or elders are killed, then regardless of whether the Soul Emperor wants to or not, he must take swift and decisive revenge.
Furthermore, Ye Chen, who possessed the original memories, knew very well that even if he destroyed the Soul Palace now, the Soul Clan would not really launch a major attack on the Pill Tower, but killing these people was absolutely out of the question!
"Ancestor, Ziyan, you should both leave with your people. I may need to stay here for a while longer, and during that time, I'll need to trouble you to look after the Pill Tower..."
Having suffered such a great loss, the Soul Palace certainly won't swallow its anger.
This great battle in Zhongzhou is definitely inevitable, but Ye Chen feels that the battle will likely be large in both duration and scale. However, he doesn't think it will involve one side going all out to attack the enemy's stronghold for a decisive battle...
After all, with a six-star Dou Sheng like the Dan Tower Ancestor in charge, plus the assistance of Zi Yan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Hun Miesheng wouldn't do anything impulsive unless he was stupid.
"It's alright, guarding the Pill Tower is my responsibility. However, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is no ordinary strange flame, and it is not easy to truly subdue it. Moreover, you yourself still have the Three Thousand Blazing Flames within your body, so you must be careful and cautious. Things cannot be forced!" the Pill Tower Ancestor instructed.
Ye Chen cupped his hands and said, "This junior will remember!"
After everyone left, the entire Demon Flame Space became completely quiet.
At this moment, Ye Chen once again surrendered his body to the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, gazing indifferently at the distant sky...
At the center of this sea of fire, a fire lotus exuding an eerie aura was slowly rotating, and with each rotation, its color constantly shifted between dark red and white.
"Buzz!"
The swirling fire lotus eventually solidified on the white surface, but all the petals of the lotus were now covered with tiny red veins...
Like human blood vessels, it occasionally flashes red light, filling this beautiful fire lotus with an eerie and sinister feeling.
"When I first met you, your body was as pure as a baby's. I gave you intelligence, endowing you with human thoughts, hoping that you would truly become a living being in this world."
But I never expected that the path you took would be completely different from what I had envisioned…
Gazing at the eerie fire lotus in the sky, the illusory image of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint outside Ye Chen's body sighed softly.
