Xiao Yan's departure from the ancient temple and his quest to understand the power he wielded led him back to the outside world. However, he was unaware that the danger he carried was not only from the creatures of the Realm of the Abyss, but also from the followers of the Blood Flame Sect, who had plans to seize the power of the Flame King and open the gateway to the darker dimension.
Soon after, the long-lost Blood Flame Sect reappeared. They were now led by a man of incredible strength—Zhou Li. This new leader was far stronger and more dangerous than his predecessor. He had the ability to merge with the energy of the Realm of the Abyss, creating a dark flame that led to destruction.
Zhou Li and his followers infiltrated Xiao Yan's hideout and attacked with overwhelming force. Every step they took sent waves of pressure through the air, crushing everything in their path. Xiao Yan, who felt the flame within him growing increasingly uncontrollable, fought desperately to fend them off, but Zhou Li's attacks came relentlessly, striking with immense power.
"Xiao Yan," Zhou Li said with a sinister smile, "your power is the key to opening the gateway we have been waiting for for centuries. Now, it's time for you to surrender it."
Xiao Yan felt his body constricted by the overwhelming power. The black flames unleashed by Zhou Li seemed to swallow the world into darkness. The force threatened to obliterate everything in an instant. But Xiao Yan could not retreat—he had to fight, even if it meant risking everything.
The battle not only involved physical strength but also a battle of souls. The Flame King's power within Xiao Yan awakened even stronger than before. The flames that surged from within him were no ordinary fire; they were energy capable of altering his destiny but also risked bringing about the destruction of the world.
