Under the gaze of countless onlookers, the black-and-white energy stream clashed fiercely with the glazed light barrier. In the next moment, everyone could clearly see that the defensive screen formed by the eight Ancestral Symbols was rapidly thinning. It was obvious that the Eight Ancestral Glazed Bowl refined by Xiao Yan was far from a match for the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle.
This wasn't merely because the Eight Ancestral Glazed Bowl was inferior. The difference in strength between the two sides played a huge role. After all, Xiao Yan was only at the initial stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm, while Maha Tian's side boasted three Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns—two of them at the late stage. In terms of lineup alone, they clearly overwhelmed Xiao Yan.
Very quickly, the light barrier was shattered by the surging power of the black-and-white stream. The crowd couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the legend of the Flame Emperor had reached its end. Maha Tian and the others burst into wild laughter. But just as their laughter echoed through the skies, a brilliant fire lotus, dazzling beyond compare, silently rose from beneath the collapsing screen...
"What is that?!" The appearance of the fire lotus stunned everyone present. As the attackers, Maha Tian and his allies could clearly sense the terrifying energy that surged within the lotus. That kind of force was enough to instill dread even in late-stage Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns like themselves.
The fire lotus slowly rotated before transforming into a streak of blazing light that collided violently with the black-and-white stream that had destroyed the barrier. In an instant, terrifying energy swept across the skies. The world itself seemed to be engulfed by the intertwining forces of radiant fire and opposing black-and-white energies. The powers clashed, each trying to erode the other until nothing remained.
Even the mighty Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, capable of easily breaking through Saint-grade divine defenses, now met its match. No matter how it tried to corrode, the lotus remained dazzlingly brilliant. Instead, the energy of the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle began to dim under the relentless assault.
The collision of these two overwhelming powers ultimately ended with the fire lotus standing victorious. The surrounding spectators gasped in awe. The Maha Yin-Yang Bottle was renowned as one of the top divine weapons in the Great Thousand World. This time, it had been wielded by three Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns in unison—its power should've been unimaginable. Yet it had still been stopped by Xiao Yan.
No one could fathom the terrifying force hidden within that palm-sized lotus.
"Damn it! What kind of divine ability is that?!" Maha Tian raged in his heart. He still couldn't comprehend how someone who had just stepped into the Saint-grade realm could possibly unleash such devastation. Now, even with three top-tier experts channeling the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, they still couldn't do anything to him. At this point, even Maha Tian felt a twinge of regret.
But regret was meaningless now. There was no retreat. Gritting their teeth, they prepared to use even more extreme methods to continue powering the bottle.
Just then, two blazing beams of fire suddenly shot forth, smashing directly onto the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle. The force was so immense that it sent the divine artifact flying.
Seeing this, Maha Tian and the others rushed to retrieve it. But before they could move, a second "Xiao Yan" silently appeared above them. A massive golden seal descended with earth-shattering momentum. Judging by its aura, this seal was another peerless divine artifact.
This was none other than Xiao Yan's soul clone, who had been lying in wait all along. He had planned it meticulously, striking the moment the Nine Revolutions Annihilation Flame Eye knocked the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle away. Though Xiao Yan had other methods to resist them, he certainly wouldn't pass up a chance to make the battle easier.
Even with their immense strength, the three were caught off guard and struck by the Heavenly Profound Divine Seal, leaving them dazed. In that moment, Xiao Yan's soul clone transformed into a transparent crystal tower that swallowed the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle in an instant.
By the time Maha Tian and the others recovered, the sight that greeted them was the black-and-white bottle being sealed within the crystal tower. Before they could react, Xiao Yan flicked his sleeve and stored the entire tower inside the Heavenly Tomb. With the isolation of the Heavenly Tomb and the suppression from the Soul Refining Tower, even if Maha Tian and the others had more methods to activate the bottle, it was all useless now.
"Do you still have any tricks left?" Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the previously dim fire lotus reappeared. Though it looked slightly faded, the immense energy within it was enough to kill them all.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous explosion, Maha Tian and his allies were swallowed by a sea of flames that blanketed the entire sky above the Tianluo Continent. Before the firestorm had even dispersed, Xiao Yan had already launched several palm strikes toward the void, targeting the other Heavenly Sovereigns attacking the Endless Fire Domain.
With his current strength, even the palm winds alone could severely injure ordinary Immortal-grade Heavenly Sovereigns. In just a few strikes, several of the Maha Ancient Clan's top-tier Heavenly Sovereigns were vomiting blood, sent flying like rag dolls. Xiao Yan had even held back his strength—had he not, they would've been reduced to minced flesh.
He wasn't sparing them out of compassion. The Endless Fire Domain desperately needed more power. His plan was to capture them and refine them into battle puppets, enhancing the Domain's strength. In fact, his clone back on the Maha Continent was already busy desecrating their ancestral graves.
As Xiao Yan casually crippled the enemy Sovereigns, the experts of the Endless Fire Domain quickly moved in to subdue them. At the same time, the vast ocean of fire across the sky began to fade. The figures of Maha Tian and the others gradually emerged, their appearances miserable beyond words. They had been half-killed by the lotus' devastating force.
And truthfully, Xiao Yan had deliberately held back. He wanted their corpses intact. Otherwise, that lotus alone could have completely incinerated them. Even so, their current state was appalling. Any passing Heavenly Sovereign could now easily take their lives.
