The arrival of the ancient clans once again drew the attention of everyone present, especially the Soul Palace. After seeing the ancient clans, the Flame Clan, and even the Pill Tower and the Ancient Dragon Clan gathered together, even the Soul Palace Master's expression became solemn.
"How did these people end up together?" the Soul Hall's deputy hall master asked, his expression somewhat anxious and angry.
“Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao, two four-star Dou Sheng, if they join forces with Ye Chen and the Dragon Emperor, then my Soul Clan’s plan this time will most likely fail!” The young patriarch of the Soul Clan said with a grim expression.
Only Hun Miesheng remained calm. After glancing at the two of them, he said, "What are you panicking about? The situation you're worried about is completely impossible..."
Soul Extinction was well aware of just how alluring the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was.
Although the Ancient Clan and the Flame Clan have always had a good relationship, especially when facing the Soul Clan...
The Starfall Pavilion and the Pill Tower are allies, and with Xiao Yan's connection, it seems highly likely that they will join forces. However, Hun Miesheng knows that this is completely impossible!
Putting aside other things, the relationship between the Ancient Clan and the other clans has already been somewhat strained since the Spirit Clan's affairs were exposed. This is evident from the fact that the three members of the Fire Clan treat the Pill Tower much better than they treat the Ancient Clan.
As for the remnants of the Xiao clan, having received the inheritance from Yao Chen, they probably also harbor great covetousness for the demonic fire... This means that they can never truly unite.
Soul Extinction clearly saw the complex atmosphere among that group of people, so he wasn't too worried...
The only thing that could worry him was the situation inside this demonic fire space!

Chapter 491 Terrifying Illusion
With the arrival of the last Medicine Clan member, almost all the top forces interested in the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had gathered.
Ye Chen glanced around and saw that among the people present, there were no fewer than a hundred Saint-level experts alone, and the number of peak Dou Zun below the Half-Saint level exceeded a thousand...
Of these people, 90% had not appeared in Zhongzhou for decades, and some had even disappeared more than a hundred years ago.
As for the ancient races, only the Soul Clan, Ancient Clan, Flame Clan, and Medicine Clan arrived. Together with the Pill Tower and the Ancient Void Dragon, these six represent the most powerful forces on the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Ye Chen had no intention of interfering in the farce between Yao Chen and his disciple and the Yao Clan. In any case, Xiao Yan had his girlfriend backing him up, so Yao Wangui, the chief elder of the Yao Clan's Punishment Hall, didn't dare to make a move.
"Didn't you say that the ancient clans had a good relationship with you? How come it doesn't seem to be the case now?" Ye Chen looked at Huo Xuan, who was still beside him, and chuckled.
Huo Xuan chuckled and said quietly, "That was before. Ever since the Spirit Race disappeared so quietly, even we ancient races have had to be more cautious..."
Ye Chen nodded silently, but sighed inwardly.
It has to be said that after a thousand years of preparation, the Soul Clan has managed to outmaneuver everyone...
Their first move was to annihilate the Spirit Clan and even sow discord between the other clans and the Ancient Clan. This first step was brilliantly executed!
As the commotion subsided, everyone's attention once again focused on the spatial rift in the sky...
At this moment, the milky white light at the crack was pouring down continuously like liquid, and the desert below had turned into a milky white magma, with occasional bubbles rolling out and bursts of extremely hot air.
】
This scene caused many people to turn pale.
The residual heat alone was enough to form such a huge lava lake here, which shows how terrifying the temperature inside that space must be!
Those powerful Dou Zun who had finally managed to reach this place now looked grim, knowing that they were probably destined to miss out on this demonic fire.
Seeing that it was time to enter the Demon Flame Space, Ye Chen began to remind Zi Yan and the others in advance.
"Be careful once you go inside. No matter what you see, stay calm. As far as I know, this Pure Lotus Demon Flame is extremely strange. It can use emotions as a catalyst to invade and manipulate other people's bodies. Therefore, this Pure Lotus Demon Flame is particularly adept at using illusions to stir up other people's emotions..."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's telepathic reminder, Zi Yan and the others were taken aback at first, then nodded solemnly.
Although they were curious as to why Ye Chen knew so much about the characteristics of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, it was clearly not the right time to pry, and they didn't think Ye Chen would lie to them about this.
As Ye Chen reminded the girls, the expansion of the shattered space finally slowed down when it reached a range of nearly a hundred feet...
Faintly, a milky white halo took shape at the ruptured space.
"It's time to get going..."
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, some people couldn't hold back any longer and leaped into the air, rushing directly into the milky-white light circle.
"President Ye, we're setting off now. See you again in the Demon Flame Space!" Huo Xuan greeted Ye Chen with a smile, then rushed into the light circle as well.
Next, Xiao Yan greeted Ye Chen and then rushed in with the members of the Ancient Clan.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry. After reminding everyone again, he also flew into the demonic fire realm.
Within a short time...
The moment his body swept into the circle of light, Ye Chen's skin tightened instantly.
"What a terrifying temperature..."
He felt like Sun Wukong had entered Laozi's alchemy furnace, completely enveloped by a terrifyingly high temperature.
His gaze swept quickly around, and Ye Chen saw that he was in a strange space filled with milky white flames...
Frowning, Ye Chen released the Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire from his body, forming a layer of flame armor on his skin, which reduced the burning sensation somewhat.
"Sure enough, even if we enter at the same time, we will be randomly teleported to different places in this space."
Fortunately, Ye Chen had prepared for this and had already told everyone else about it, so the first thing Ye Chen needed to do was to leave this place and find the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Ye Chen's expression grew increasingly grim...
At his current speed, he should have traversed this space long ago, but the environment around him is still the same, which is obviously abnormal.
"Looks like I've fallen for it after all..."
Ye Chen originally thought that with his perfected Heavenly Realm soul realm, he would no longer be afraid of the illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but he did not expect that he would still fall into it without realizing it.
However, Ye Chen was unusually clear-headed this time, which was different from when he was at the Bodhi Tree.
However, the illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was clearly not that simple. Just as Ye Chen stopped, preparing to force out the demon flame that had somehow invaded his body, the surrounding world instantly changed...
Looking around, Ye Chen found himself standing in the center of a giant city, surrounded by people, most of whom were dressed in alchemist's robes.
"This is...Saint Pill City?!"
Although he knew perfectly well that this was caused by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, all of Ye Chen's senses told him that everything around him was real...
Ye Chen's brows furrowed deeply, and his heart grew heavy.
"What method does this Pure Lotus Demon Flame intend to use to stir my mind...?"
"boom!"
As Ye Chen's thought arose, the earth began to tremble the next moment!
A massive crack suddenly spread out from the city, causing many powerful figures within to leap into the air in alarm. However, before they could react, a terrifying black beam of light burst forth from the ground, instantly engulfing the entire city...
"Bang bang bang!"
Ye Chen watched all this silently, and his own body, like everyone else's, flew into the air.
However, under the shadow of that black pillar of light, the bodies of figures in the city suddenly exploded, and blood mist and shattered flesh covered the entire land.
The sudden turn of events left everyone around Ye Chen stunned. Staring at the figures that had exploded into a cloud of blood mist right beside them, a deep sense of fear and horror surged up from their hearts like a tidal wave...
Fearful shouts, angry curses, screams—all sorts of different sounds filled my ears.
The next moment, Ye Chen even saw his entire Ye family members begin to perish in this immense disaster...
The Second Elder, the Third Elder, his uncles and cousins... and even in the end, Xinyue, Xinlan, his father, his grandfather, and finally his mother, Song Chun'er...
The next moment, a terrifying killing intent surged forth from the deepest part of Ye Chen's heart!

Chapter 492 Gathering in the Main Hall
Even though he knew it was an illusion, these scenes still stirred up boundless killing intent in Ye Chen's heart.
The next moment, streams of milky white flames suddenly burst forth from countless pores on his body, and the terrifying flames raged wildly within his body.
"Humph!"
With a muffled groan, the intense pain forced Ye Chen to regain his composure.
With a thought, the Three Thousand Starry Sky Flames, under the control of his immense soul power, began to continuously expel the demonic flames that had infiltrated Ye Chen's body.
Although the demonic fire was powerful, it was not difficult for Ye Chen to eliminate it with his current strength because no one was controlling it.
Half an hour later, after all the demonic fire had been dispelled, Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"As expected of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, with such power, even a half-saint would probably not be able to withstand it and would be burned to ashes..."
However, Ye Chen not only had sufficient fighting spirit cultivation, but also an exceptionally strong physique.
He could even devour the Black Demon Lightning directly, so some demonic fire energy couldn't cause much damage to his body.
"We need to find Qinglin and Xian'er first, otherwise, given their mental state and strength, they might get injured..."
With that thought in mind, Ye Chen immediately left the spot and began searching the space.
Along the way, Ye Chen encountered several people, but none of them were familiar to him. One of them, a high-level semi-saint, had already been half-burned when Ye Chen met him...
The pitiful screams echoed throughout the space, but they did not cause any fluctuation in Ye Chen's mind. He continued onward into the depths.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Ye Chen found Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor. However, when he saw the white flames that had already emerged from the two women, he was immediately shocked.
He flashed to the two women's side, and then placed his hands on their backs...
While using his own strange fire to protect the two women from the scorching demonic fire, Ye Chen also emitted a soul fluctuation from between his brows, directly waking the two women who were trapped in the illusion.
"Whoosh..."
Two pale-faced girls breathed rapidly, their tightly closed eyes slowly opening.
Looking at the two pairs of red eyes filled with tears, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then felt two soft, delicate bodies fall directly into his arms.
"Son..."
Qinglin's voice was like that of a wounded kitten, murmuring as she tried to burrow her head into Ye Chen's arms.
Little Fairy Doctor pressed herself against Ye Chen, greedily inhaling his scent...
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Ye Chen embraced the two women's delicate bodies, gently comforting them.
"Whatever you saw before, it was all just an illusion, it wasn't real..."
After a long while, the two women slowly recovered.
Clearly, in the illusion created by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the two women must have encountered something that terrified them the most, and it was something related to them...
Ye Chen sighed inwardly and silently hugged the two women even tighter.
"Where is Sister Ziyan? Young Master, have you not found them?" The Little Fairy Doctor, who had fully recovered, looked at Ye Chen, who was all alone, and couldn't help but ask.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I've searched this entire area, but I haven't found Zi Yan or the teacher. I suppose they're not here."
here……"
"Ah."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly. Being in such a horrible place, there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to help.
The only saving grace was that Zi Yan was strong enough, possessing the bloodline of the Supreme Dragon-Phoenix, so these demonic flames shouldn't harm her. As for Xuan Kongzi, as a ninth-grade alchemist with powerful soul force, he had some methods for dealing with these situations.
"Let's go."
Ye Chen glanced at the other guys trapped in the illusion, then called out to the two women and quickly flew out of the mist.
When Ye Chen and his two companions finally broke through the dense fog, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then they saw a huge platform floating not far from them...
By this time, there were already quite a few people on the platform. At a glance, Ye Chen spotted many familiar faces, including Xuan Kongzi and Zi Yan, which made Ye Chen breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Big brother!" Zi Yan greeted the three of them with delight.
Xuan Kongzi breathed a huge sigh of relief. After Ye Chen and the other two landed, he quickly asked, "What happened? Why are you so late?"
Even I managed to get through that demonic fire illusion, so there's no reason why Ye Chen, who is even stronger, would be so slow.
Upon hearing this question, Qinglin and Little Fairy Doctor immediately lowered their heads, somewhat remorseful, and said, "It's all our fault for dragging Young Master down..."
Everyone should give it a try!
