That frightening energy storm continued for over ten minutes. Everyone in the area was deeply shocked by this energy storm.
When the storm dissipated, the entire world became pitch-black, just like night. At a glance, the land within a radius of a thousand miles was originally a lively mountain range. However, at this moment, it had been forcefully flattened by the storm. The blood lake below churned as though it was mocking the experts in the sky.
The remaining hundred plus experts in the sky had pale faces. Almost all of them had fresh blood hanging from the corner of their mouths. There were even some who had managed to preserve their lives but ended up with seriously injured bodies. Even if they wanted to recover, they did not know how long they would have to wait.
When the experts in the sky saw this scene below, quite a number of them began to think of retreating in their hearts. Although the treasures were good, they needed to be alive to obtain them. Currently, they could not even pass the first hurdle. How could they even talk about entering the remains and fighting for the treasures inside?
At this moment, Zhuo Bentang and Zhuo Lin by the side were frowning. Both of them used their gazes to stare intently at Xiao Yan below. Their eyes were filled with suspicion.
From the way they saw it, the strength of this black-robed person in front of them was likely at least a three star Dou Di. However, why was he actually forced back in one strike when faced with that energy storm? This was not quite right!
"What is going on with this fellow's strength? Hasn't he already comprehended the Great Way Energy? Why does his strength not appear to be that of an elite Dou Di? "
Zhuo Bentang's brows were tightly knit together. He could not understand why this black-robed person, who had clearly grasped the Great Way Energy, would be forced back by that energy storm. Moreover, from the looks of it, the black-robed person should be injured.
The moment Zhuo Bentang spoke, Zhuo Lin seemed to have thought of something. A glint flashed in his sharp eyes, and he let out a cold snort. Soon after, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm not going to give you a chance.
"It is true that he has grasped the Great Way Energy. However, who told you that one must be an elite Dou Di in order to grasp the Great Way Energy?!"
The look in Zhuo Bentang's eyes froze. Then, Zhuo Lin opened his mouth again and said, "Don't worry.
"As long as some people have sufficient talent and a comprehension ability that exceeds an ordinary person, it is not impossible for them to comprehend the strength of the Great Way before they are a Dou Di. After all, even in this entire continent, no one can be certain that a Ban Di is unable to comprehend the strength of the Great Way."
"Uh … Young Master, you mean this guy is actually a Half Martial Emperor who has comprehended the Great Dao Energy?!"
Hearing Zhuo Lin's words, Zhuo Bentang's face was suddenly shocked, and he felt a burst of disbelief in his heart. Seeing this, Zhuo Lin frowned and nodded slightly.
"That is extremely possible. After all, a person who is unable to unleash the strength of a Dou Di but has grasped the strength of the Great Way. Unless his talent is shocking, there is no other answer."
"Heavens, if this is really the case, isn't this fellow a little too frightening?!"
A person who had grasped the strength of the Great Way even though his strength had yet to reach the Dou Di class. This kind of person would definitely become a person that various factions would fight to rope in. Being a Ban Di, he had already grasped the strength of the Great Way. If his strength were to reach the Dou Di class, would he not be able to defy the heavens?
While Zhuo Bentang's heart was feeling shocked by Xiao Yan's strength, a large cluster of scarlet-red hot blood fog slowly floated out from the deep underground hole below, seemingly intending to give everyone a blow. It emitted a dense stench that caused one to feel nauseous as it slowly flew toward everyone in the empty sky.
This time around, before the blood fog could come close, the expressions of the remaining Ban Di experts in the empty sky suddenly changed drastically. The expressions on their faces were as though they had seen something frightening. All of them hurriedly dragged their injured bodies and swiftly ran toward the sky.
At this moment, even Tian Ying and the other two involuntarily felt some disappointment and regret in their hearts after seeing Xiao Yan's somewhat pale face.
Although they knew that there were quite a number of treasures within the remains, at the same time, they also knew that if it was not for Xiao Yan lending a hand at a critical moment during this trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains, they would have long since died under the blood pillar. How would they end up in such a state now? Although the three of them were not strong enough, they did not wish to implicate Xiao Yan. The latter's potential and strength were far from what the three of them could compare with. If it were not for the three of them, it was likely that Xiao Yan would not have split his strength and ended up being injured.
The three pairs of eyes under the black robes exchanged glances with each other. Given the tacit understanding between the three of them, even just a glance was sufficient for them to express many things. Hence, the three of them immediately nodded in unison. After which, they turned their eyes to Xiao Yan. Tian Ying, who was the leader, opened his mouth once again. However, unlike before, the three of them chose to withdraw this time around.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it looks like the three of us are not fortunate enough to enjoy the treasures in the remains!"
A regretful expression appeared on Tian Ying's face as he stared intently at Xiao Yan in front of him and said in a serious voice.
Xiao Yan could not help but frown when he heard this.
He immediately asked, "Brother Tian Ying, may I know what you mean by this?"
"Haha, brother Xiao Yan, there is no need to overthink. I just feel that the three of us are not strong enough. I believe that even if we enter the remains, we will not be able to obtain any benefits. If we are unlucky, we might even lose our lives. Hence, I feel that …"
"Brother Tian Ying, don't worry. I have said that with me around, the blood fog will not be able to harm you at all. Don't worry, I will definitely bring all of you in alive. Similarly, I will be able to bring all of you back alive!"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, he immediately called out to Gu You in his heart.
"Old Gu, lend me a hand!"
Gu You did not hesitate after hearing Xiao Yan's words. A soft acknowledgment was emitted from his heart. A thought passed through his mind and a dense-white flame immediately rose from within Xiao Yan's body with a 'puff' sound.
"Hah!"
Xiao Yan let out a stern cry in his heart. Before Tian Ying's trio in front of him could recover, he suddenly waved his large hand. Soon after, a dense-white flame immediately spluttered out of Xiao Yan's palm at the same time the three of them recovered. In the blink of an eye, it had already covered the entire empty space.
Under the control of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, the dense-white flame turned into a circular fire barrier that swiftly spread with Xiao Yan at the center. After which, it gradually descended under Xiao Yan's control. Wherever it passed, the blood fog that had drifted upwards would turn into white smoke with a 'chi chi' sound and disappear.
Finally, the enormous dense-white flame barrier completely sealed the enormous hole below in front of everyone's stunned expressions. The blood fog that continued to surge out from within was completely incinerated by it.
At the same time, Zhuo Bentang and Zhuo Lin in the sky were staring at Xiao Yan in the empty space below. At this moment, both of their eyes revealed a surprised expression.
"This is … a Heavenly Flame?"
