In the void above the Endless Fire Domain, four figures clashed violently amidst the vast rift-riddled sky. Maha Tian and his companions had never expected the Flame Emperor to be this difficult to deal with. Even with the combined power of the three of them, they couldn't suppress him. On the contrary, it was beginning to seem like they were being pushed back instead.
"Damn it! Why is this guy so hard to handle!" Maha Tian roared inwardly. He had originally believed that with the aid of these two Elders, defeating Xiao Yan would be a trivial task. Yet the battle remained deadlocked. This man was like a bottomless pit, constantly pulling out hidden cards, leaving them completely exasperated.
Even the spectators in the distance couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. At this point, even the slowest among them could see just how terrifying the master of the Endless Fire Domain truly was. Some unaffiliated Heavenly Sovereigns were already contemplating whether, if the Endless Fire Domain survived this battle, they should pledge allegiance to this power.
Although the Endless Fire Domain had only one Sovereign-grade expert, just that one was enough to rival several others!
"Maha Ancient Clan, so much for your lofty name." After another intense collision, Xiao Yan and the three opponents separated once more. His figure retreated through the sky but quickly stabilized, while Maha Tian and the others were also forced back by his fierce assault. Hearing Xiao Yan's taunt, they unusually didn't retort immediately. The previous impact had caused the blood in their bodies to churn violently.
They still struggled to believe it. Xiao Yan, with merely early-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign strength, was able to stand toe-to-toe with the three of them without losing ground. This kind of formation, even among the Extraterritorial Evil Race where the overall power level surpassed that of the Great Thousand World, could only be matched by top-tier experts like the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Yet here was this man—who had only ascended from the lower realms less than three years ago—suppressing enemies far stronger than himself. This fearsome combat prowess was something even the Immortal Emperor of the past had not possessed.
The two late-stage Saint-grade Elders raised their black wooden staffs simultaneously. Twin streams of black and white light gathered at their tips. At the same time, Maha Tian once again activated the Maha Limitless Calamity. As the black-white tornado took shape, the Elder's power flowed into it, making the attack's momentum even more devastating.
Within that tornado, arcs of black and white lightning raged. A single strand leaking out could destroy the entire Tianluo Continent. If the entire force within it was released, even a late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign would be obliterated on the spot.
The Maha Limitless Calamity was already one of the most terrifying Divine Arts among the Thirty-Six Peerless Techniques of the Great Thousand World. Now, with the boost from the Maha Limitless Body and the power of two late-stage Saint-grade cultivators added in, its might had reached an unimaginable level. Even someone like the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor would be forced to retreat momentarily.
Facing this reinforced calamity, Xiao Yan's expression turned grave. Within that black-white tornado, he could sense a real threat. Even with his current physique, if he were caught in it, the consequences would be dire. The Eightfold Pagoda likely couldn't withstand it.
"If the Eightfold Pagoda won't work… then let's try this move!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan's hand seals changed rapidly. Spiritual energy surged out, condensing into a vast, viscous sea of blood filled with countless bones. From within it, four ferocious beast shadows tore through the void and, under Xiao Yan's control, charged straight toward the black-white tornado.
"Black Dragon Annihilates the World! Evil Tiger Defies Yin and Yang! Demonic Sparrow Burns the Firmament! Ghost Warrior Suppresses the Universe!"
"The Power of the Four Fiends—Heaven-Destroying Earth-Crushing!"
"Roar!!" The four fiendish beasts roared in unison. Their bodies turned into four blood-red pillars of light that shot out simultaneously to clash with the incoming Maha Limitless Calamity.
As the four lights collided with the spiraling storm, its momentum visibly slowed, eventually grinding to a complete halt. Maha Tian and his companions were stunned. This attack was among the most powerful that currently existed in the Great Thousand World. Yet it had just been blocked—like that?
This brat from the lower realms… how could he possibly wield such terrifying techniques?
In truth, this wasn't Xiao Yan's first time using the Four Fiend Spirits simultaneously. However, the way he executed them now was different. Though each had distinct attributes, combining them seemed to create a synergistic amplification, greatly enhancing their power. This synergy was one of Xiao Yan's breakthroughs in his study of the Four Fiends.
Last time he used the Four Fiends, he had sealed Qingyang Jing's Endless Radiant Body—one of the Five Primal Bodies. If compared directly, their combined strength likely surpassed any single Divine Art. And even then, they weren't used for a full-on assault. This time, with them fully unleashed, the resulting force far exceeded what any Divine Art could match.
Though the Four Fiends dissipated after exhausting their power, unlike the Eightfold Pagoda which still had spare energy for follow-up attacks, their feat of neutralizing the Maha Limitless Calamity was enough to shock everyone.
"Is that all you've got?" Xiao Yan sneered after defusing their ultimate technique. "If this is the extent of your strength, then the Maha Ancient Clan has no reason to exist."
"Xiao Yan! Blocking our attack is impressive, but claiming you can wipe out our entire clan alone? Don't you think that's too arrogant?!" roared the Elder wielding the black staff.
"Arrogant?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. "Why don't you try me and find out?" His voice turned icy. The Maha Ancient Clan had come to wipe him out. He could negotiate with the Fire Spirit Clan—they had no true grudge. But with the Maha Ancient Clan? There was no room for leniency. His desire to eradicate them was no bluff.
These three Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns were the pillars allowing the Maha Ancient Clan to dominate the Great Thousand World. If he killed them, others with old grudges—or even opportunists—would jump at the chance to strike. Not that it mattered. Xiao Yan would make sure the Maha Ancient Clan was gone before anyone else even got the chance.
