Without much hesitation, the group began to act. It wasn't that they didn't want to find a better method, but the situation was indeed extremely urgent and could not be delayed any longer; every moment of waiting increased the danger.
The division of labor was also very simple and clear: Tang Zhen, who possessed the different flames, stayed behind to help Xiao Yan; Huo Zhi's power could communicate with Xiao Yan, and she also needed to assist Xiao Yan in fusing with the Fire Lotus. Zi Yan, on the other hand, relied on her powerful spatial abilities to help Xiao Yan retrieve the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
The others need to ensure Xiao Yan's safety while fusing with the Fire Lotus, since the fluctuations in Dou Qi energy cannot be hidden from people. Once Xiao Yan's Fire Lotus fusion begins, the Spirit Clan will eventually take measures to stop him.
Just as Wei Jiangyuan was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
He walked back to Xiao Yan's side and said, "Old Xiao, you don't necessarily have to use that pill you refined before when you're devouring the strange fire. Now is the perfect opportunity!"
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. The pill Wei Jiangyuan mentioned was the Rank 8 Six-Colored Thunder Pill that Xiao Yan had refined at the Pill Gathering.
Limited by the availability of medicinal materials, Xiao Yan was unable to refine the pills he had prepared himself and could only temporarily use the pill formula given by Wei Jiangyuan, which was called "Flame Burning Body Forging Pill".
Its effect is not healing, but rather forming a powerful fire-attribute energy protective film on the body surface after ingestion, greatly enhancing the user's resistance and endurance to flames. This was originally prepared by Shennong for Wei Jiangyuan, with the aim of giving him more protection when absorbing the Three Thousand Burning Flames.
Xiao Yan still needed some external help when absorbing the strange fire, so he originally planned to use this pill when absorbing the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Now that he is about to risk fusing with the Destruction Fire Lotus, this eighth-grade pill, which can resist the invasion of flames, is indeed very suitable for this situation.
However, Xiao Yan didn't rush to take the pill. Instead, he took out the last clay puppet that Venerable Feng had given him. The previous battle had been too intense, and Xiao Yan hadn't had time to absorb the clay puppet.
Now we've reached the final, desperate moment. The fusion with the Fire Lotus is inherently dangerous, and every extra layer of protection is a good thing. No one wants to feel like they're living too long.
The others gradually began to recover their strength. While Xiao Yan was indeed going to fight desperately, that didn't mean they could stand idly by. They all knew that what awaited them was the Spirit Clan's most frenzied attack; buying time for Xiao Yan was buying everyone's hope of survival.
……
At this moment, the nerves of all the Battle Saints of the Spirit Clan were stretched to the limit. The refining process had entered its most dangerous and crucial stage. As a special being that had existed for thousands of years, the Pill Tower Ancestor's origin was far more abundant than that of ordinary pills. If the refining was forced, and a slight mistake was made, this vast energy would erupt like a volcano that had been accumulating for thousands of years.
It's not that the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower still has the ability to retaliate. It's just that they must guard against one possibility—if the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower is truly facing a life-or-death situation, he will definitely be determined to die and self-destruct.
Their mission was to prevent such a possibility from occurring. If the Dan Tower Ancestor was blown to ashes, no matter what the subsequent outcome, the Spirit Clan's operation would undoubtedly be a failure.
Six streams of battle qi, each a different color but equally vast, flowed continuously from the bodies of the six Spirit Race Battle Saints, like six giant pillars supporting the heavens and earth, frantically pouring into the core of the constantly rotating and booming rune array.
Meanwhile, the situation of the Pill Tower Ancestor was becoming increasingly dire, and he could barely maintain his human form. To the naked eye, all that could be seen was a ball of azure light, within which terrifying medicinal energy was being nurtured.
Ling Fengzhui stood tall and straight like a javelin at the core of the Void Restriction Array. At the same time, he pushed his perception to the limit, his soul power like an invisible giant net, keenly capturing any abnormal energy fluctuations within Saint Pill City. This was also one of the biggest differences between him and Ling Zhuo; he disliked any unnecessary movements, and he would follow the instructions of the Supreme Elder and the Clan Chief exactly as they said.
Before long, Xiao Yan had gotten up again. Having finished absorbing the clay puppet, his safety was now more assured.
He took one last deep breath and glanced around. Tang Zhen was already waiting beside him. If it weren't for his exceptional composure after years as the Valley Master, he probably would have been impatiently urging Xiao Yan on in this tense situation, especially since the Fire Cloud Ancestor was also trapped.
A faint purple ripple spread out not far away, and Zi Yan's figure suddenly appeared, with a ball of violent energy restrained in each of her hands.
Two extraordinary flames—the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flames.
Both flames are dragon-shaped, making them a very suitable place for Zi Yan to find. Under Zi Yan's powerful control, these two flames cannot cause any trouble for the time being.
The Spirit Clan had all evacuated, and in this perilous situation, no one would have any interest in the Strange Fire. After all, with their lives hanging in the balance, who would have the time to absorb the Strange Fire? Even if they did manage to get their hands on it, they would most likely end up handing it over to the Spirit Clan anyway.
Finally, Xiao Yan glanced around at Huo Zhi beside him. Her aura was refined, and she showed no change in response to the chaos. In truth, her safety was not in danger; her continued cooperation was solely due to Xiao Yan.
For Xiao Yan, the appearance of Huo Zhi was also one of the reasons why he wanted to fuse with the multi-colored fire lotus. Xiao Yan alone absolutely could not control the enormous energy generated by the clash of multiple flames.
But now that Huo Zhi is here, she can transfer all her power to him through the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. When fighting Ling Fengzhui, Xiao Yan even used her power to reach the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm, which is why it ultimately led Xiao Yan to develop a crazy idea.
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly smiled and asked Tang Zhen, "Valley Master Tang Zhen, are you ready?"
Tang Zhen was slightly taken aback by this sudden, calm question. Then, a hint of triumphant pride appeared on the weathered face of the Burning Flame Valley Master. To be able to act so recklessly side by side in such a desperate situation was indeed a kind of opportunity.
"Young Master Xiao Yan is truly a remarkable person. You are the protagonist of this crazy undertaking. I was already prepared and I'm sure I won't hold you back!"
Xiao Yan nodded, then swallowed the prepared pill whole. A cool yet extremely resilient medicinal power, like an invisible spiritual liquid, instantly flowed throughout his body's eight extraordinary meridians. The next moment, a powerful energy membrane appeared on Xiao Yan's body, temporarily isolating him from the intense heat. At the same time, the soothing medicinal power replenished Xiao Yan's depleted Dou Qi and soul energy—this was the top-tier medicinal power of an eighth-grade pill!
"Let's go then!"
