The terrifying power from the self-detonation of the Three Thousand Burning Flame had turned the entire central region of Shengdan City into a raging sea of fire. Several Pill Tower Elders had been blasted back all of them bearing visible injuries
"Who are you exactly Why have you come to scheme against my Pill Tower"
Xuan Kongzi looked toward the massive dark hand that had just crushed the elder's soul body his voice filled with fury
Ripples stirred in the air and a black robed youth with a demonic appearance slowly emerged from the void. A faint wicked smile curled on Hun Miesheng's lips. He raised his palm as black mist began to swirl from his hand enveloping the scattered remnants of the Three Thousand Burning Flame
"Return"
With a casual murmur all the mist contracted at once dragging the Three Thousand Burning Flame back into his palm. The once violent heavenly flame compressed and reformed into a small violet red dragon struggling desperately within the black cage
Seeing this Xuan Kongzi and the others inhaled sharply
They had failed to suppress the Three Thousand Burning Flame even with the power of nine Dou Venerates and a grand formation yet this man subdued it with a flick of his hand
"You really are worthless"
Hun Miesheng sneered at the terrified violet red dragon in his palm his five fingers slowly closing together. A wave of crushing force surged out almost shattering the little dragon on the spot. The Three Thousand Burning Flame trembled in fright. Though its body was nearly indestructible its soul consciousness which had been cultivated over millennia could still be destroyed. If it lost its current consciousness then even if the body remained it would no longer be itself
"No no please do not kill me I am willing to submit I will be your most loyal slave"
The flame spirit cried out in desperation
"Oh Is that so"
Hun Miesheng stroked his chin as if considering the offer. The Three Thousand Burning Flame sighed with some relief. So long as it lived temporary submission was acceptable. There would always be a chance to turn the tables.
Boom
The small violet red dragon exploded into embers scattered across the air.
"Too bad my Soul Hall does not accept trash"
Threads of violet energy streamed from his hand like a spiderweb capturing the dispersed essence of the flame and absorbing it into his body. Hun Miesheng stretched his limbs and let out a contented sigh.
"You are the Soul Hall's Hall Master Hun Miesheng"
Xuan Yi finally recognized the familiar soul power and exclaimed in shock. Hearing this Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi turned pale with alarm
"What You already forgot me so soon".
"We have crossed paths before did we not Though what you met then was only one thousandth of my presence".
Hun Miesheng mocked them lightly his expression full of amusement. The three Pill Tower leaders remembered well. Years ago a mere trace of this man's projection had severely injured all three of them despite their peak Dou Venerate strength. They had not even glimpsed his real face back then. That alone made his true power unimaginable.
"Hmph"
"Hun Miesheng you may be strong but do not forget this is the Pill Tower not your Soul Hall"
As the voice faded dozens of powerful auras rose from within the tower. Shadows shot into the sky and surrounded Hun Miesheng from all directions. On the ground even more figures emerged forming a massive encirclement. All of them were above the Dou King level totaling nearly a thousand people.
The remaining eight Dou Venerates along with other high ranking elders each stood at key positions vigilantly watching Hun Miesheng
"Return the Three Thousand Burning Flame and leave Shengdan City immediately".
"Otherwise even if you are a Dou Saint you will not leave unscathed".
Xuan Kongzi's aura flared unleashing a tempest of Dou Qi. He had already reached the threshold of the Half Saint level. Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi stepped forward flanking him. The other experts also released their own auras channeling them through a unique secret art to merge with Xuan Kongzi's power.
The power of ten thousand surged like a tidal wave bearing down on Hun Miesheng.
"Heh"
"This is indeed Pill Tower"
"But do not forget"
Hun Miesheng slowly spread his arms
"You are still ants crushed beneath my feet"
A devastating aura erupted from his body in an instant
It was the peak pressure of a six star Dou Saint
Boom
The overwhelming might crashed down like a mountain sweeping through the ranks of Pill Tower.
Everyone staggered back dozens of meters on the spot. Weaker ones collapsed immediately their hearts stopped under the pressure.
Even the three Pill Tower leaders turned pale.
"His strength far exceeds ours direct confrontation is not an option"
Xuan Yi said grimly
"Exploit his weakness then Attack his soul directly"
"As alchemists our pride lies in soul power not physical might"
"Since we cannot beat him with force we will overwhelm his soul"
Tian Leizi's eyes flashed coldly
Xuan Kongzi clenched his jaw and nodded
"We have no other choice"
"All Pill Tower members listen up"
"Form the Soul Fusion Array"
"Channel all soul power to bring this fiend down"
The command echoed across the city
All Pill Tower members responded with solemn expressions.
Tens of thousands pointed to their foreheads releasing their soul power.
Their hands formed intricate seals in unison
Even the hand signs moved in perfect synchronization.
Xuan Kongzi Xuan Yi and Tian Leizi followed suit their own soul power merging with the flood of gathered force.
The collision and fusion of thousands of soul forces shook the very heavens.
Like streams becoming lakes lakes becoming rivers rivers forming a vast ocean.
A soul storm formed across the sky shaking the space itself.
The soul powers ranged from peak Spirit Domain level possessed by the three leaders to early and middle stage Spirit Domain from eight rank alchemists and even countless lower level soul powers from under eight rank.
Together they surpassed the barrier of the Heavenly Domain and kept rising.
Heavenly Domain Initial
Heavenly Domain Middle
Heavenly Domain Late
Close to peak Heavenly Domain
"Hun Miesheng surrender the Three Thousand Burning Flame leave Pill Tower and swear never to return"
"Do this and I will let you go today"
"Otherwise even a Dou Saint like you will fall here"
Xuan Kongzi declared with a cold tone
Hun Miesheng remained calm his expression unmoved
"Then do not blame me"
Xuan Kongzi shouted and changed the hand seal
All the soul power fused into a towering cauldron of fire descending upon Hun Miesheng
The massive furnace rotated slowly its crushing force sealing off all escape
For the first time Hun Miesheng frowned slightly
"Soul Fusion Art hmm"
"Interesting"
He chuckled softly
"This technique is indeed powerful"
"But you are naïve to think quantity can replace quality"
"You are still far too foolish"
As he spoke his soul power surged out violently distorting and cracking the air
