"Xiao Yan! Don't get too arrogant! My Maha Ancient Clan has been inherited for tens of thousands of years. How could it be shaken by you alone?! Besides, even if you can stop us by yourself, can your Endless Fire Domain stop our army's invasion?!" Maha Tian sneered coldly. "Today, no matter how you struggle, your Endless Fire Domain will not escape destruction!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward the Endless Fire Domain below. During the time Xiao Yan had been battling Maha Tian and the other two, the remaining Heavenly Sovereigns of the Maha Ancient Clan had been relentlessly attacking the grandmaster-grade spiritual array that shielded the entire continent. Under their joint onslaught, the brilliance of the array had noticeably dimmed.
Even a grandmaster-level array couldn't withstand the siege of so many Heavenly Sovereigns. If that array were breached, then with the current strength of the Endless Fire Domain, it clearly wouldn't be able to resist the Maha Ancient Clan's army—unless Xiao Yan could defeat Maha Tian and the others and return immediately. Thus, Maha Tian's claim that the Endless Fire Domain would perish today wasn't just empty boasting.
"Seems like you people still don't understand me..." Xiao Yan suddenly smiled at Maha Tian's declaration. "You think the Endless Fire Domain is that important to me? I'm sorry, but even if everyone in the Endless Fire Domain were to die, I wouldn't lose anything. But if every last one of your Maha Ancient Clan members dies—then let's see if you still have the face to strut around the Great Thousand World."
"You dare?!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? You're allowed to attack me, but I'm not allowed to retaliate?" Xiao Yan chuckled coldly. "Maha Tian, let me be clear. No matter what happens to the Endless Fire Domain today, I will erase your Maha Ancient Clan from existence. If even one of your clan survives after today, then I'm no longer the Flame Emperor!"
Boom!
The moment his words dropped, a blood-red light pillar soared into the sky from a distant region. That pillar was entirely condensed from blood, and even from far away, the stench of blood was unbearable. Upon seeing it, the expressions of Maha Tian and the others changed dramatically—that direction was the location of the Maha Ancient Clan's homeland.
"You... What have you done?!" Maha Tian and his companions immediately remembered Xiao Yan's earlier words and turned their heads in horror.
"I told you already. I would make sure none of your Maha Ancient Clan remains." Xiao Yan's grin was calm, but the words he spoke made every expert in the area feel their scalp go numb. "To deal with me, your Maha Ancient Clan mobilized nearly all your forces. Even the three Saint-grade Elders gathered here. You didn't think I'd let that opportunity slip, did you?"
At this moment, on the Maha Continent, a figure wreathed in dark demonic energy walked slowly through piles of corpses. In his hand was a blood-colored demonic sword that gleamed with a strange light. Wherever that glow reached, the corpses disintegrated into dry bones—their blood and life essence entirely devoured.
That pitch-black figure was none other than Xiao Yan's demonic energy-infused spiritual avatar. Back when Maha Tian and the two Saint-grade Elders had shown up, Xiao Yan had already ordered this avatar to take the demonic sword and head straight for the Maha Clan's headquarters. Though some Heavenly Sovereigns had remained behind, they couldn't resist the combined might of the avatar and the demonic sword.
"You bastard!" Even someone like Maha Tian, usually calm and composed, exploded with fury when he realized that his entire clan had been annihilated by Xiao Yan. This time, it wasn't just about saving face—it was a genuine surge of grief and fury from within. For these ancient clans, the clan came above all else. Even if they didn't love their relatives, their pride and identity were deeply tied to the clan.
And Xiao Yan understood this perfectly. That's why he had destroyed their foundation first. He knew exactly how to kill not just bodies, but spirits too.
"Maha Ancient Clan, hear me!" Maha Tian roared hoarsely. "Slaughter the Endless Fire Domain! Leave no one alive, be it old or young!"
His voice was like a demon's curse, causing the expressions of the surrounding experts to change. He had truly gone mad. His eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted—it was obvious that Xiao Yan's strike had completely shattered his sanity.
Under the frenzied assault of countless Heavenly Sovereigns, the grandmaster-level spiritual array shielding the Endless Fire Domain finally shattered. Seeing this, Maha Tian let out a mad cackle.
"Xiao Yan! You've killed my clan—I'll make you taste what it's like to lose all your loved ones!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Yan smiled coldly. "Then let's see if you have the strength to do it."
Just as the grandmaster spiritual array was shattered, another spiritual array flickered into existence. It stopped a particularly strong Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereign in his tracks. Initially startled, he thought it was another Saint-grade grandmaster array, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was merely an Immortal-grade grandmaster array—less powerful than the one before.
At that moment, a graceful figure descended: Qing Yanjing. Her body radiated dazzling light as she summoned her Endless Radiant Body. With a surge of boundless brilliance, a massive light wall emerged, blocking another Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereign. Though she was only a Spiritual-grade Heavenly Sovereign, with the Endless Radiant Body and the Eightfold Pagoda in her hands, it wasn't difficult for her to hold off one enemy of that level.
When Qing Yanjing summoned the Endless Radiant Body, Maha Tian and his companions noticed. Just one glance, and Maha Tian's face turned ashen. No wonder Xiao Yan could wield the Eightfold Pagoda—it turned out Qing Yanjing was here as well. That meant the Buddha Clan had long since aligned themselves with Xiao Yan.
Roar!
As Qing Yanjing used her radiance and array to hold back two Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereigns, a giant skeletal dragon suddenly burst through the sky. Formed entirely from the gathered Battle Will of the Dragonbone Guard, this was the Dragonbone Battle Spirit!
Previously, the Dragonbone Battle Spirit could at best contend with Spiritual-grade Heavenly Sovereigns due to the limited strength of the Dragonbone Guard. But the one now guarding the Endless Fire Domain was powerful enough to rival a true Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereign. After all, Xiao Yan had embedded Long Nixian's puppet into the Dragonbone Guard formation.
This terrifying bone dragon exhaled a deep breath of cold energy. Its eyes burned with a raging battle flame as it pounced upon the incoming Immortal-grade experts like a beast unleashed.
Even as Maha Tian and his forces lost their minds, the Endless Fire Domain didn't fall into despair. It had already prepared for war, and with Xiao Yan's tactics in motion, it was now time for the Maha Ancient Clan to suffer the price of their arrogance.
