Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

207: Fight for the origin of the demonic fire!”Kill!” The fire slave roared as he pounced, his fiery spear carrying an aura of destruction.

Xiao Yan was about to act, but Xiao Ze stopped him: ”No need to waste Qi.”

His majestic Qi suddenly erupted, and the pressure of a Peak Seven-star Dou Sheng swept out like a tsunami. Those Dou Zun-level fire slaves, just as they charged forward, were shattered by the pressure, not even having time to scream.

With just one strike, thousands of fire slaves were more than half dead or injured, and the remaining fire slaves trembled under the pressure, not daring to take another step.

”Let’s go.” Xiao Ze ignored the remaining fire slaves and walked directly towards the giant gate that had appeared ahead.

Beyond the giant gate was a grand hall, still filled with fire slaves, and their strength was even greater.

There were even Saint-Grade existences!

But Xiao Ze still effortlessly swept through them with his golden Qi, shattering the Saint-Grade fire slaves like paper. Along the way, he smashed the giant gates of the hall one by one with a single palm, forcefully carving a path through the army of fire slaves.

After continuously breaking through three halls, everyone finally arrived before the last colossal hall.

There were no fire slaves inside the hall, only a gaunt figure standing upright, holding a blood-colored great axe. The aura of a Four-Star Dou Sheng permeated the area, even making Zi Yan slightly solemn.

”This is the last trial. This person should be a powerful expert controlled by the demon flame,” Xun’er whispered. Ancient texts of the Gu Clan once recorded that the Purification Lotus Demon Flame could refine a Four-Star Dou Sheng for its own use, turning them into a ”Fire Slave King.”

Just as Zi Yan was about to step forward, Xiao Ze raised his hand to stop her: ”This person has the aura of the Xiao Clan.”

He slowly stepped forward, carefully probing with his Soul Power, and discovered that there was faintly a trace of the Xiao Clan’s clan tattoo on the gaunt figure’s brow!

”Who are you from the Xiao Clan?” Xiao Ze asked, his voice carrying the unique authority of the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline.

The gaunt figure trembled all over, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened. A hint of confusion flashed in his dark pupils, and the great axe in his hand trembled slightly.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame’s control seemed to have loosened. He asked in a hoarse voice: ”You... who are you? Why do you have the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline?”

”I am Xiao Ze, the current Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan.” Xiao Ze took a step forward, the Xiao Clan’s clan tattoo appearing on his brow, and golden light enveloped the gaunt figure.

”You have the Xiao Clan’s clan tattoo on your brow, so you must be a Xiao Clan ancestor. Although the Xiao Clan has declined, it has not died out. If you can break free from the demon flame’s control, I will take you back to the Xiao Clan to acknowledge your ancestors.”

The moment the clan tattoo’s light surged in, the gaunt figure trembled violently, and the milky-white flames within him surged wildly, seemingly resisting the Bloodline Power.

However, Xiao Ze’s Bloodline originated from Xiao Xuan’s direct line, and was further empowered by the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. That ancient Bloodline pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, forcefully suppressed the demon flame’s erosion.

”Xiao... Brother Xiao Xuan...”

A flicker of clarity appeared in the gaunt figure’s eyes. He suddenly roared, and the clan tattoo on his brow fully manifested.

”I am Xiao Chen! Xiao Xuan’s cousin! Back then, in search of a method for Breakthrough, I accidentally entered the demon flame space and was refined by this demon flame for thousands of years!”

”Ancestor Xiao Chen!”

Both Xiao Yan and Xun’er were astonished. Ancient texts of the Gu Clan once recorded that the Xiao Clan had an incredibly talented and brilliant ancestor who wielded a blood axe and possessed unfathomable strength, but later disappeared without a trace. They never expected him to be trapped here!

Seeing this, Xiao Ze produced a Bloodline crystal taken from the Xiao Clan’s Forbidden Ground. The crystal emitted a soft light and slowly merged into Xiao Chen’s body.

”This is a Xiao Clan Bloodline crystal, it can help you completely break free from the demon flame’s control.”

The moment the crystal merged, the milky-white flames within Xiao Chen’s body let out a shrill shriek, and were finally completely expelled by the Bloodline Power.

He knelt on the ground, cupping his hands towards Xiao Ze: ”Thank you, Clan Chief, for saving me! Xiao Chen is willing to go through fire and water for the Xiao Clan and to fight against the Hun Clan!”

Xiao Ze helped Xiao Chen up, his gaze sweeping towards the last giant gate at the end of the hall: ”Ancestor, the demon flame origin should be behind that door. Please lead the way, and we will confront this Purification Lotus Demon Flame together.”

Xiao Chen nodded, holding his blood axe, and led the way towards the giant gate.

Xiao Ze and the others followed closely. The moment they pushed open the giant gate, a staircase leading to an altar came into view. On the altar at the end of the staircase, a white-robed figure sat cross-legged on a throne, milky-white flames swirling around him, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

The white-robed figure slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face: ”I didn’t expect you all to be able to break through here, and even awaken Xiao Chen... However, if you want to take the demon flame origin, you must first pass my test.”

His voice was soft, yet it made the entire space tremble slightly. The aura of a Peak Four-Star Dou Sheng permeated the area, making even Zi Yan and Gu Nanhai’s expressions solemn.

Xiao Ze took a step forward, and the pressure of a Peak Seven-star Dou Sheng suddenly erupted, colliding with the white-robed figure’s aura, causing the hall’s floor to crack inch by inch.

”Purification Lotus Demon Flame, you are merely a consciousness condensed from a Demon Saint’s Legacy, yet you dare to presumptuously call yourself master?”

The vast Qi in his hand condensed, and the abnormal fire burned even more fiercely.

The faint smile on the white-robed figure’s face instantly froze, and the milky-white flames around him suddenly surged, the aura of a Peak Four-Star Dou Sheng (Saint) carrying destructive high temperatures, crushing down towards Xiao Ze.

”Presumptuous! I cultivated my consciousness through a Demon Saint’s Legacy and command countless fire slaves! How dare a junior of the Xiao Clan be so audacious!”

Before he finished speaking, he waved his palm, and ten fiery spears tore through space, shooting towards Xiao Ze with the might to incinerate all things.

But Xiao Ze remained unmoving. The Qi of a Peak Seven-star Dou Sheng condensed into a Qi barrier in front of him. The spears struck the barrier, and without even stirring a ripple, instantly turned into nothingness.

”With just this much ability, you dare to claim command over fire slaves?”

Xiao Ze sneered, his figure suddenly disappearing. The next second, he appeared behind the white-robed figure, his terrifying Qi condensed into a fist, striking fiercely at its back.

The white-robed figure’s pupils constricted. It hastily activated flames to form a protective barrier, but the barrier was like thin paper under Xiao Ze’s fist, shattering with a ”crack.” It was sent flying, crashing heavily against an altar pillar, and spitting out a mouthful of fiery essence blood.

”You... you actually have the strength of a Peak Seven-star Dou Sheng!”

The white-robed figure was terrified. It had cultivated for a thousand years and believed it could contend with a Six-Star Dou Sheng, but it never expected Xiao Ze’s strength to far exceed its imagination.

It suddenly looked up, forming hand seals. The magma sea below the altar churned violently, and ten Dou Sheng fire slaves clad in fiery armor shot into the sky, surrounding Xiao Ze.

The strongest among them was actually at the Late Stage of a Three-Star Dou Sheng!

”Kill him!”

The white-robed figure roared, and the fire slaves attacked simultaneously. Fiery fists and fiery blades intertwined into a sea of fire, attempting to engulf Xiao Ze.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen, holding his blood axe, was about to step forward to help, but Xiao Ze raised his hand to stop him: ”No need for help. These fire slaves aren’t even enough for me to warm up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ze’s Qi erupted, forming a huge Qi vortex. The suction generated by the vortex swallowed all of the fire slaves’ attacks.

Immediately after, he condensed several Qi blades at his fingertips, which shot towards the fire slaves as fast as lightning. The fire slave at the Late Stage of a Three-Star Dou Sheng was about to resist when the blade pierced through its fiery armor, leaving a bone-deep wound on its chest.

The other fire slaves were even worse. Wherever the Qi blades passed, their fiery armor shattered, and their flames extinguished. In just a few breaths, more than half of the ten fire slaves were dead or injured.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the white-robed figure turned to flee towards the magma sea. That was where its Origin lay, and as long as it retreated into the magma, it could regroup.

But how could Xiao Ze give it a chance?

With a flash of his figure, he blocked its path, and the abnormal fire and Qi in his palm merged, forming a three-colored fire lotus: ”Want to leave? First, leave behind your Origin!”

The fire lotus was thrown, exploding in the air with a deafening roar as the milky-white flames collided with the three-colored flames.

The white-robed figure was sent flying by the aftermath of the explosion, and the demon flame origin within its body fluctuated violently, showing signs of disintegration.

Despair flashed in its eyes. It suddenly turned to the Hall Master of the Soul Hall nearby, roaring: ”Hall Master of the Soul Hall! Let’s join forces to kill him! Afterwards, I’ll give you half of the demon flame origin!”

Greed flashed in the Hall Master of the Soul Hall’s eyes, and the aura of a Five-Star Dou Sheng suddenly erupted as he prepared to attack.
