"Annihilate!"
As the words left Chen Mo's lips, the entire void began to tremble violently.
Suddenly, a rift appeared in the void before Chen Mo.
The four-colored fire lotus, radiating terrifying energy, was swallowed by the void rift and then vanished into nothingness.
The sky returned to its calm state once more.
"This is impossible?" Two distinct voices emerged from Xiao Yan's mouth.
One was Xiao Yan's own voice.
The other was Yao Lao's.
"Are you alright?" Yun Yun swiftly flew to Chen Mo's side, their eyes meeting. Chen Mo could see the tear stains that hadn't yet dried at the corners of Yun Yun's eyes.
"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Chen Mo reached out to wipe away the tears at Yun Yun's eyes, but as soon as his fingers touched her soft cheek, he suddenly hesitated, realizing it might be too bold.
Yun Yun blushed and quickly turned her head away.
"Master and junior brother..." Nalan Yanran, who had regained her rosy complexion below, was stunned, as if she had noticed something different.
Seeing the spectacle in the sky, Jia Xingtian and the others were utterly bewildered.
"Old man, do you understand what just happened?" Jia Xingtian turned to ask Fa Ma.
The sudden appearance of the void rift and the disappearance of the four-colored fire lotus were hard for Jia Xingtian to comprehend, especially since he dared not associate it with Chen Mo's doing.
Fa Ma shook his head, remaining silent, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Mo, as if trying to discern the truth.
"An illusion, it must be an illusion. This can't be real. Again!"
"Flame Partition Wave Engulfing Ruler!"
In the sky, Xiao Yan couldn't accept this reality, muttering to himself. After all, using the Wrathful Buddha Fire Lotus had drained ninety percent of his Dou Qi.
Yet, the result was that it was devoured by a single word from Chen Mo.
Who could accept that?
The expanding giant ruler erupted with a shocking crimson energy, shooting out from the ruler's body and enveloping Chen Mo.
This time, Chen Mo didn't even bother to speak.
With a single glance, the surging crimson energy instantly dissipated into the sky, without even causing a ripple in the surrounding air.
Overwhelming!
And it was an incomprehensible kind of overwhelming!
"Retreat first, this kid is too strange!" Yao Lao's voice came through. Despite his vast experience, he couldn't figure out what method Chen Mo had used to dismantle his attack.
Although Xiao Yan was unwilling, the depletion of his Dou Qi, coupled with this incomprehensible scene, made it clear that staying any longer would likely result in both of their deaths. "Let's go, Master."
[Xiao Yan] nodded, biting the tip of his tongue and using his blood to draw something in the air. Suddenly, as a blood seal appeared, [Xiao Yan] shouted fiercely:
"Celestial Change, Sacrifice!"
A surge of soul power, visible to the naked eye, was drawn from [Xiao Yan]'s body and vanished into the void. His aura then skyrocketed, and his cultivation level soared once more!
Reaching the eight-star Dou Ancestor level.
The people below were struck with awe, as his cultivation had increased yet again.
However, shortly after the initial shock, an even more astonishing move unfolded.
[Xiao Yan] suddenly turned around, his Purple Cloud Wings replaced by a pair of pale white wings. With a flap of the wings, he flew towards the outskirts of Yunlan Sect.
"He... he ran away!" Jia Xingtian couldn't help but gasp, finding the move utterly baffling.
"Since you've come, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
Chen Mo's gaze turned cold as he spoke indifferently, "Kneel before me!"
The figure of Xiao Yan, who was about to fly out of the Yunlan Sect, suddenly halted as if restrained by some invisible force, suspended mid-air without the slightest movement.
Moments later, an overwhelming pressure forced him to bend his back, and his knees slowly began to kneel.
"Teacher, what's happening? Why can't I resist at all?" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, trying to command his body to stand up, but it refused to obey. Facing Chen Mo, he knelt in mid-air.
"This seems to be spatial power," Yao Lao said, though he wasn't entirely sure, as the energy felt too bizarre.
Yao Lao's voice carried anger. Kneeling before a junior was an extreme humiliation for him, the former Yaozun Zhe, yet he couldn't resist.
Yun Yun stared blankly at the scene, suddenly feeling as though she no longer recognized Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yan, a faint smile playing on his lips, and asked, "How does it feel?"
Xiao Yan remained expressionless, but his eyes were filled with ferocity. His body struggled incessantly, ignoring Chen Mo's words.
Chen Mo frowned, his hand reaching toward Xiao Yan in a grasping motion. He murmured, "Yao Chen, you've been hiding for so long. It's time to come out and meet me."
With a forceful tug, a transparent, elderly figure was pulled out of Xiao Yan's body.
Seemingly forced out, the already translucent body began to appear even more illusory.
"Teacher!" Xiao Yan's expression turned to panic as he saw Yao Lao being forcibly extracted. For the first time, he felt fear toward Chen Mo.
Freed from the constraints of the body, Yao Lao no longer had to kneel. He coughed weakly, his aged face scanning Chen Mo, and asked with a dark expression, "Who exactly are you?"
Yao Lao's appearance caused an uproar among the crowd below. They whispered as if comforting themselves, "No wonder that kid is so powerful. Someone was helping him."
"So this is that Soul Entity," the top figures on the giant tree crown observed the Soul Entity. Even in its weakened state, they felt insignificant in its presence.
"Who I am no longer matters. Hand over the Strange Fire, and you'll be spared the suffering," Chen Mo said coldly.
"Wishful thinking!"
"Sigh."
With Chen Mo's light sigh, Yao Lao's body began to tremble, his face contorting as if enduring extreme pain.
"Teacher!" Xiao Yan roared.
"Silence!" Chen Mo's command left Xiao Yan unable to utter another word.
Helplessly, Xiao Yan watched as a pale white flame flew out from Yao Lao's forehead, caught in Chen Mo's palm.
Having lost the Bone Chill Cold Flame, half of Yao Lao's body seemed on the verge of dissipating, becoming frail and unstable.
Feeling a movement in his sleeve, Chen Mo's lips curled into a faint smile. "Go!" he said calmly.
A small, colorful snake flew out from Chen Mo's sleeve, appearing in the sight of the crowd. In an instant, a radiant, multicolored light burst from the snake's body, transforming the three-inch-long serpent into a massive python over thirty feet long.
Then, to the astonishment of everyone, it opened its enormous mouth and swallowed Yao Lao's Soul Entity in one gulp.
The next moment, the system chimed with a notification: the Bone Chill Cold Flame had become ownerless and could be Plundered into the system for ten Luck Points.
After spending ten Luck Points to deposit into the system, Chen Mo turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was glaring at Chen Mo with a livid expression, the veins on his arms bulging, and tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes. However, his mouth was sealed by a mysterious force, preventing him from making even the slightest sound.
