BTTH: Rebirth of Liu Xi

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s strength was beyond imagination—so overwhelming that everyone present knew if they didn’t go all out now, they’d soon have no life left to fight for.

”Damn it!”

Hun Miesheng’s eyes flickered as he swept his gaze across Huo Yao, Yao Wangui, and Gu Nanhai. He knew none of them could be relied upon. His gaze finally landed on a distant figure hidden among the crowd—the one silently forcing his hand, pushing him to risk everything.

As Hun Miesheng rapidly retreated, his expression twisted into something dark and sinister. Forming a rapid hand seal, his surging aura, which had briefly receded, once again erupted to its peak. In the next instant, that violent energy directly broke through the limits of a 4-Star Dou Saint, stepping into the realm of a genuine 5-Star Dou Saint.

The explosion of power made him stride freely amid the raging shockwaves. The fiery torrents that devoured all were actually absorbed into his body, leaving him completely unharmed.

Such an abnormal surge of strength caused Huo Yao, Yao Wangui, and Gu Nanhai’s faces to change drastically. Among the ancient clans, there was a long-standing rule: no Dou Saint above 5-Star was allowed to intervene in such battles.

Yet now, the Hun Clan had blatantly broken that rule!

Gu Nanhai’s eyes widened with fury as he pointed at Hun Miesheng and roared, ”Hun Miesheng! The Hun Clan dares to send out a 5-Star Dou Saint? After this, I will report this to the clan leader—your Hun Clan will face judgment together!”

Yao Wangui and Huo Yao quickly moved closer to Gu Nanhai. Originally, Hun Miesheng had been at their level, but now, as a 5-Star Dou Saint, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.

After one reached the Dou Saint realm, every single star of advancement represented an enormous leap in power. A 5-Star Dou Saint could easily kill a 4-Star Dou Saint. The only way to face him now was for the three of them to join forces.

Hun Miesheng gave them a sideways glance, his eyes filled with disdain. To him, these so-called clan elites were nothing but stepping stones on the Hun Clan’s path to supremacy.

”If we can’t suppress the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame,” Gu Nanhai shouted, ”then none of us will live to leave this place! Each of our clans’ future heirs will die here, and we’ll become sinners of eternity!”

Those words silenced the others. When they looked back toward the younger generation—Gu Xun’er, Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, Yao Tian, Hun Feng—they all knew it was true. If they perished here, it would cripple the future of every great clan for an era.

Hun Miesheng sneered inwardly. His breakthrough to 5-Star Dou Saint filled him with confidence once more. At least now, he wouldn’t be so helpless before the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

His eyes locked onto the center of the chaos—the towering column of magma, atop which stood the beautiful yet terrifying Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, gazing down on everyone with cold amusement.

”Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Formation!”

Hun Miesheng shouted and tossed out a black light. The black radiance expanded with the wind, spreading until it covered nearly ten thousand feet. Fortunately, this desert world was a separate space, vast and boundless, or such a formation would have torn the heavens apart.

”Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Formation?!”

The crowd gasped in shock. That was a legendary array said to be capable of sealing even a Dou Saint. The Hun Clan’s preparations were beyond terrifying.

Complex runes ignited in the sky, forming an intricate web that sealed the space and cut off the flow of Heaven and Earth Energy. Towering black light pillars crashed down like prison bars, encircling and locking the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame within.

”Ants daring to shake a divine tree—how laughable!”

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame’s handsome face curved into a chilling smile. This so-called sealing formation had severed his connection with Heaven and Earth, and these fools thought that alone could suppress him?

With a sweep of his sleeve, endless white flames erupted outward. The terrifying temperature surged, the air trembling as cracks rippled through space itself.

The array foundations above began to groan under the pressure. The enormous runes etched into the sky trembled and fractured, as though they could collapse at any moment.

Hun Miesheng’s face flushed crimson, his trembling hands struggling to maintain the seals. His body shook just like the vast array above him.

”Don’t just stand there—help me! Pour your Dou Qi into the array! If it breaks, none of us will make it out alive!”

He roared furiously at the others, and realizing the truth in his words, Gu Nanhai, Yao Wangui, and Huo Yao immediately joined in. Dodging the raging fire currents, they each formed hand seals, channeling torrents of Dou Qi into the heavenly runes.

With the influx of energy, the formation’s runes deepened in color, becoming darker and more profound. The massive light pillars above ceased trembling, then began to contract and expand rhythmically, forming a deadly tug of war against the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

Hun Feng, observing from afar, clenched his fists. Even with four 4-Star Dou Saints and the sealing formation combined, they were only evenly matched with the flame—not enough to subdue it.

”Gu Xun’er, Huo Xuan, Yao Tian—everyone saw what happened,” Hun Feng called out. ”If we don’t unite, once the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame breaks free, none of us will survive. I trust you understand what must be done.”

Without waiting for a reply, Hun Feng led two elders forward. The three 2-Star Dou Saints joined in, unleashing their Dou Qi, which soared into the sky and fused into the array, making the black light glow even more ominously.

Gu Xun’er gave him a surprised glance. She hadn’t expected Hun Feng to act with such cooperation. If even the Hun Clan could set aside pride, how could the Gu Clan lag behind?

Her graceful figure floated forward, her cold yet beautiful features laced with faint mockery as she said, her voice like frost, ”If even you can see the bigger picture, how could we not?”

Though her words dripped with sarcasm, her actions were swift. Brilliant golden Dou Qi erupted from her body—less in quantity than Hun Feng’s, but far purer and vastly stronger in quality.

Hun Feng’s gaze darkened as he glanced at her radiant golden aura. A flash of greed crossed his eyes before he quickly masked it, licking his lips.

’What a delightful scent... the essence of the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame. Your bloodline, your Heavenly Flame... they’ll all be mine one day.’

The rest—Yao Tian, Huo Xuan, and the others—couldn’t stand idle either. Representing the pride of their clans, they surged forward, releasing their Dou Qi into the formation. The Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Formation pulsed darker still, its suppressive power over the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame growing more terrifying with every breath.

Hun Feng’s smirk deepened. Just as he predicted—Gu Xun’er and the others were all too easy to manipulate.

This was, after all, a Hun Clan formation—crafted to capture the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. If it weren’t for his current role, he would’ve taken the chance to strike them down here and now. Each of them—Gu Xun’er, Huo Xuan, Huo Zhi, Yao Tian—carried pure bloodlines and Heavenly Flames. They were walking treasures.

If he could devour them all, he might rise by another one or even two stars.
