A surge of anger at being toyed with rose within Nether Lotus Demon Flame, lingering endlessly.
The Magma ocean below became turbulent, waves churning and rising one after another, dozens of feet high, spreading throughout the space, and the ubiquitous milky-white flames also blazed fiercely, showcasing his master's fury.
However, this anger quickly ceased, because Amon pulled out an ancient map.
He said with a playful expression, "Think I'm lying to you? I haven't lied, you know."
Nether Lotus Demon Flame's expression stiffened; he felt the aura of Nether Lotus Saint from that ancient map!
Amon wasn't lying; such an ancient map truly existed!
As the other party looked somewhat flustered, Amon took out another ancient map and said unhurriedly:
"The originally complete ancient map was divided into four parts. Only by collecting all of them can the wisp of Nether Lotus Saint's soul be summoned."
Amon pulled out another ancient map; now, he already had three in his hand.
He shrugged at Nether Lotus Demon Flame: "Unfortunately, I only found three, so I couldn't complete them!"
Nether Lotus Demon Flame breathed a sigh of relief… It's good that they weren't completed… As much as he hated and cursed, if he truly had to face Nether Lotus Saint, even just a wisp of his remnant soul, he really couldn't muster the courage.
However, he soon realized that he had been played by this guy again!
He was so angry he wanted to curse, and just as he was about to activate the Lian Tian Ancient Formation, he saw Amon's half-smiling expression.
Nether Lotus Demon Flame suddenly realized there might be another twist! What if his statement "not completed" was false?
If he had truly collected all the ancient maps left by Nether Lotus Saint and could summon Nether Lotus Saint's soul at any time, then activating the Lian Tian Ancient Formation would be like handing a knife to the other party!
After so many years of analysis and understanding, he had gained a very high understanding of the Lian Tian Ancient Formation.
If the Lian Tian Ancient Formation was not activated, remaining in a closed state, then a wisp of Nether Lotus Saint's soul could not hope to activate and use it in front of him.
If the Lian Tian Ancient Formation was already activated, then a wisp of Nether Lotus Saint's soul might truly be able to forcibly seize control from him through some profound mechanisms within the ancient formation!
Thinking this, Nether Lotus Demon Flame immediately hesitated; the consequences of the two possibilities were one of heaven and one of hell…
If he gambled correctly, he might be able to control Amon and use the other party's power to escape this space that had imprisoned him for thousands of years, from then on, he could soar freely like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.
If he gambled incorrectly, he would be refined by someone again, and with the lesson of Nether Lotus Saint, the new master would surely scatter his spiritual intelligence.
Seeing Nether Lotus Demon Flame's indecision, Amon smiled lightly:
"Let me help you make a choice… Actually, you have no choice at all."
As he spoke, he released the power of a Six Star Dou Saint peak, and the terrifying aura caused the floating rocks in the air to vibrate continuously, some even disintegrating into smaller stone fragments and falling into the Magma below.
Nether Lotus Demon Flame's expression was grim. His own strength was at the peak of Five Star Dou Saint. By virtue of the uniqueness of his own Heavenly Flame, he could contend with a Six Star early-stage expert. If facing a Six Star mid-stage enemy, plus ten fully controlled Huo Nu, he could still hold his own.
But what Amon displayed at this moment was Six Star peak! An entire star's difference during the Dou Saint period was almost insurmountable!
Unless the opponent's combat proficiency was astonishingly poor, but who among those who could cultivate to this level hadn't walked through a path of swords, blood, and fire?
However, he still didn't want to gamble with the consequence of having his consciousness erased if he failed; he was considering escape!
If I can't beat him, can't I at least run away?
I'll play hide-and-seek with you in this Demon Flame Space!
If I drag it out, there might even be a chance to turn the tables! After all, this Demon Flame Space is my home ground!
Amon's smile remained as he softly said to him:
"Are you thinking of not fighting and just running?"
Nether Lotus Demon Flame's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the other party with suspicion, wondering if the other party possessed some secret technique to peek into others' thoughts.
"That's easy to guess. If you can't win, you run. That's very realistic. Those who don't even understand this basic principle can't grow… But, I am a Taixu Ancient Dragon!" Amon said with a smile.
Taixu Ancient Dragon! Nether Lotus Demon Flame's pupils constricted… Damn it, how could I forget that! In front of a Taixu Ancient Dragon, who is most proficient in spatial arts, escaping is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
He said with a stern expression:
"Since you want me to activate the Lian Tian Ancient Formation so much, I'll let you witness it then!"
As he spoke, Nether Lotus Demon Flame formed complex and profound hand seals.
Streaks of milky-white flames shot out from his body, the fiery lines covering the entire space like a vast net, and a tens of thousands of feet large fire formation slowly emerged from the sky.
As the massive formation appeared in the sky, the boundless Magma sea below also churned, and a formation of similar size emerged.
One in the sky and one on the ground, echoing each other, like a giant millstone, slowly rotating, seemingly capable of grinding everything within the formation into oblivion.
Nether Lotus Demon Flame, who had summoned the Lian Tian Ancient Formation, showed no signs of relief on his face. His gaze turned cold as he stared intently at Amon, worried that he might pull out another fragment of the ancient map.
Amon looked at the colossal formation that seemed to encompass heaven and earth, and clucked, "Is this the formation personally laid down by Nether Lotus Saint? It's quite good."
The more relaxed Amon's expression was, the greater the psychological pressure Nether Lotus Demon Flame felt.
However, Amon never took out the last ancient map. To Nether Lotus Demon Flame's somewhat astonished gaze, he put away the three fragments.
He adjusted his monocle and chuckled, saying:
"It's true that Nether Lotus Saint left ancient maps, and it's also true that I couldn't collect them all. You really don't need to be so nervous."
It wasn't as scary as you made it sound! Nether Lotus Demon Flame grumbled in his heart, then looked at the other party with a puzzled gaze…
From his appearance, it seemed he truly had no more ancient maps and couldn't summon Nether Lotus Saint's remnant soul…
But why was he still so relaxed and at ease?
Did he have any other trump card to counter the Lian Tian Ancient Formation?
Nether Lotus Demon Flame said in a deep voice, "Throughout these thousands of years, I have comprehended most of the inheritance left by Nether Lotus Saint. I am the second Nether Lotus Saint!"
Amon smiled: "Indeed, I'm not surprised that you obtained Nether Lotus Saint's inheritance… My purpose in coming here is merely for the Nightmare Mist, and a wisp of your origin flame… How about this, you give them to me, and I'll retreat?"
"Heh, still trying to scare me when death is at your doorstep?" Nether Lotus Demon Flame spoke casually, but his heart dared not be careless.
Amon took off his monocle, revealing a clear smile: "What gave you the illusion that you could contend with me?"
As he spoke, he ran the five fingers of his right hand through his hair, slowly combing it backward, sweeping it behind his head. During this process, his hairstyle subtly changed.
His hair also changed from its original black to a myriad of colors, radiating brilliant light, like dancing flames.
Various types of flames surged from all parts of his body, swirling around him.
Although their heights were similar, Amon looked down at Nether Lotus Demon Flame with a condescending gaze: "Now, can you truly face the gap between you and me?"
Looking at that dazzling hair, and at the different flames surrounding Amon, Nether Lotus Demon Flame's face turned pale.
He let out a terrified shriek:
"Tuo She Ancient Emperor!"
