"One move? You underestimate people too much!" The young lady who had stopped Xiao Ming earlier couldn't help but express her indignation upon hearing his words.

"Xinlian, step back!"

Mo Luo scolded her. He could feel the terrifying energy contained within the lightning above. If it were to be fully unleashed, the entire Fiery Flame City would be leveled to the ground!

This person's one move was no joke!

Although Tang Xinlian was reprimanded, she still felt a bit defiant in her heart. She couldn't tolerate her Master being underestimated. However, she had no choice but to step back under Mo Luo's stern gaze.

After she stepped back, Mo Luo flew up into the sky and tilted his head slightly to look at the countless lightning bolts above.

"Do you know? The Blazing Ancestral Symbol is my reliance to eradicate the Yimo and avenge my family," Mo Luo said calmly. But there was a hint of intense obsession in his voice.

"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for me to give it to you so easily!"

As his words fell, a surge of crimson flames suddenly erupted from his body and swiftly engulfed the surrounding area. The intense heat caused the space to appear distorted.

"The power of the Blazing Ancestral Symbol? It seems you are quite determined," Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and flipped his palm to gently press down.

Instantly, the entire Fiery Flame City trembled as a towering silver light erupted in the sky. The countless lightning bolts howling in the sky at this moment pierced through the void and appeared before Mo Luo.

Mo Luo's gaze became solemn as he lightly gripped his palm. The surging crimson flames gradually rose. Finally, they transformed into a blazing sun burning fiercely above his head.

Then, this three-thousand-meter sun surged forward with a deafening roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although Mo Luo's will to resist was strong, the disparity in strength between the two was immense.

The flames that permeated the sky instantly scattered and collapsed wherever the lightning passed. The domineering might of the lightning directly forced the power of the Blazing Ancestral Symbol to retreat step by step.

This would be practically impossible under normal circumstances because those lightning bolts were just ordinary ones. They couldn't possibly be stronger than the power of the Blazing Ancestral Symbol. Yet, the current phenomenon was entirely due to the difference in strength between the two.

Mo Luo raised his head, looking at the lightning bolts rushing towards him with terrifying power. It was as if the Yuan Power within his body was igniting at this moment.

The lightning instantly approached, and without any visible defense from Mo Luo, it exploded and engulfed him.

Boom! Boom!

Countless massive rays of lightning spread out as they shrouded the area in what seemed like a sea of lightning. The space appeared distorted with occasional dark crack lines appearing under the power of the lightning.

"This... is too brutal," many people muttered under their breath as they watched the sky filled with lightning. It was clear that Mo Luo, the Master of the Flame Divine Hall, was no match for the handsome young man. Surviving such an attack would be a miracle.

"You bastard!"

Not far away, Tang Xinlian's eyes immediately reddened upon witnessing this scene. She raised her long spear and fiercely thrust it towards Xiao Ming.

However, with a wave of his sleeve, Xiao Ming enveloped her and all the members of the Flame Divine Hall behind her in a multicolored light barrier. No matter how hard they struck, they were unable to break through it.

"That's enough," Xiao Ming said indifferently. Then, his gaze shifted towards the sea of lightning.

The sea of lightning slowly dissipated, revealing a fiery red figure floating down and landing steadily on the ground.

"Mo Luo won?" Countless people were bewildered at this sight. The situation just now clearly seemed to be against Mo Luo!

However, before they could fully grasp what happened, Mo Luo suddenly let out a gasp and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then collapsed to the ground with a loud crash!

"Hall Master!"

"Master!" Tang Xinlian and the others from the Flame Divine Hall saw this and immediately struggled to leave the multicolored light barrier. This time, Xiao Ming did not stop them.

Tang Xinlian successfully exited the barrier and rushed to Mo Luo's side. She tried to feed him healing medicine, but Mo Luo resisted and refused.

"Xinlian, help me up!"

"Master, please take the healing medicine first!"

"You don't even listen to your Master's words anymore?" Mo Luo frowned, and Tang Xinlian had no choice but to comply.

Mo Luo had just stood up when Xiao Ming slowly approached him.

"How do you feel?"

"Cough, cough, I lost!" Mo Luo coughed heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He could feel that if the other party hadn't held back, he would have died on the spot!

"Then hand over the Blazing Ancestral Symbol, and I'll return it to you after some time."

Mo Luo was silent for a moment. Then a palm-sized miniature fire phoenix flew out from his forehead.

Tiny, strange symbols emanating terrifying power could be seen within this fire phoenix.

'The Blazing Ancestral Symbol!' Xiao Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he waved his hand. The phoenix obediently fell into his hand, allowing him to manipulate it.

Mo Luo couldn't help but cough again and spit out another mouthful of blood when he saw how easily Xiao Ming was able to subdue the Blazing Ancestral Symbol.

The disciple by his side was so scared that she lost her color.

Xiao Ming swiftly put away the Blazing Ancestral Symbol with a flick of his hand. After that, he threw a jade bottle at Mo Luo.

"Even if you're not dead yet, you're close to it. This pill can help you break through and become a true Reincarnation Stage powerhouse. Whether you take it or not is up to you."

Mo Luo looked stunned as he held the medicine bottle. Then he hurriedly called out when he saw Xiao Ming about to leave.

"Senior!"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you!"

"Don't mention it. I gave you a beating and took your stuff. Just don't hold a grudge, and that'll be enough." Xiao Ming waved his hand and left with Mu Lingshan and Ying Huanhuan.

Tang Xinlian looked at her Master with some confusion after watching their departing figures.

"Master, why are you thanking him when he's the one who injured you?"

"Xinlian, this world is a survival of the fittest. He was able to take the Blazing Ancestral Symbol because he has the ability," Mo Luo sighed lightly before continuing, "And if he hadn't left this pill, the Flame Divine Hall would have been leveled by my enemies by tomorrow. Moreover, he has given me a chance to break through to the Reincarnation Stage!"

Having said that, Mo Luo directly opened the jade bottle and swallowed the pill within. Its effects were immediately apparent as his injuries began to heal at a rapid pace.

"I'll enter the secret chamber to make a breakthrough. You handle the situation here," Mo Luo instructed before promptly leaving.

In truth, there was one thing Mo Luo hadn't mentioned yet. The fact that the Blazing Ancestral Symbol could be subdued by the other party meant that he was not affiliated with the Yimo. This was the real reason for his change in attitude.

…

After they departed, Mu Lingshan and Ying Huanhuan eagerly surrounded Xiao Ming as they chatted animatedly.

"Big Brother, is that pill really as amazing as you say? Can it truly help someone break through to the Reincarnation Stage?" Mu Lingshan asked with excitement.

"Yes, it can," Xiao Ming said with a nod.

"In that case, Master, do you still have any left?" Ying Huanhuan's pretty eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I do indeed. Do you want some?" Xiao Ming confirmed as he took out two jade bottles. "But remember, this type of pill is only suitable for those who have reached the pinnacle of the Samsara Stage. It requires one to be on the verge of death to achieve the effect of breaking through and rising anew."

Mu Lingshan took a jade bottle, and Xiao Ming's sharp ears caught a murmur from her lips.

"That works too. Third Grandpa always bosses me around. Maybe I'll have First Grandpa give him a good beating, and then we can use this pill on him..."
