# Chapter 826: The Domineering Demon
Snowflakes still drifted through the void as the crowd watched the demonic youth suddenly vanish from his original position, causing their pupils to sharply contract. Then, they saw him reappear—this time at the end of the snowy path, at the flame mountain peak where the Ye Xu Flame resided.
"Where do you think you're going?" A furious roar rolled from Tianlin Gongzi's mouth as he stepped forward, his Carefree Step Art swift as lightning, instantly chasing after the demonic youth. The cold and proud young man who had been fighting him did not intercept this time, allowing Tianlin Gongzi to pass—the Ye Xu Flame must not be taken by another.
"You seek death!" Tianlin Gongzi roared angrily. A wild hurricane surged in his palm, forming a spiral storm that twisted toward the demonic youth, attempting to engulf him within the tempest.
Rolling demonic energy churned without cease. The demonic youth's entire body radiated pure and terrifying demonic aura. Though his cultivation was not strong—only at the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm—his demonic intent had already instilled deep fear in the hearts of onlookers.
Seeing the storm in Tianlin Gongzi's palm twisting toward him, the youth's eyes turned cold. With a thunderous explosion, he pushed both palms forward, sending a terrifying wave of demonic power surging and roaring.
"Giant Demon Palm!" An icy voice spat from the demonic youth's mouth. Before his palms, a massive, terrifying hand formed, pressing down toward Tianlin Gongzi. The oppressive aura seemed to suffocate all who witnessed it.
"Boom!"
The colossal demonic palm collided with the spiral storm, unleashing a terrifying hurricane that tore through everything. The violent, earth-shaking sound crashed against the crowd, allowing even those far away to clearly feel the devastating collision.
The demonic youth stood unmoving. Against a strike from a Martial Emperor's Disciple like Tianlin Gongzi, who was two realms above him, he had casually annihilated the attack with a single palm strike. This demonic youth—where had such a genius emerged from? His combat power was terrifying.
Turning his head, the demonic youth cast a glance toward the direction of the Ye Xu Flame. He waved his hand, and a beam of light shot forth. Then, the crowd saw a mass of rolling flame light directly pounce toward the Ye Xu Flame, causing many pupils to freeze and faces to change in shock—someone was actually trying to seize the Ye Xu Flame.
"Courting death!" Tianlin Gongzi sneered. The other Martial Emperor's Disciples also laughed coldly. To dare take the Ye Xu Flame so recklessly was undoubtedly suicidal.
"Sizzle, sizzle..." The rocks of the flame mountain cracked apart. That mass of flame light plunged directly into the mountain peak at an inconceivable speed, instantly enveloping the Ye Xu Flame.
"Boom!" Rolling flames shot into the sky, burying the entire area. The terrifying radiance of the Ye Xu Flame spread outward, gradually revealing itself—the mass of flame light could not fully contain it.
"Hmph, seeking death." The crowd jeered. What was that mass of flame light, directly pouncing on the Ye Xu Flame? If that wasn't seeking death, what was?
Yet they soon saw the Ye Xu Flame's firelight being slowly devoured. The flame's power seemed to grow weaker and weaker, and even the color of the mountain peak gradually dimmed.
"What's happening?" The crowd's pupils sharply contracted. That indistinct mass of flame—was it slowly consuming the Ye Xu Flame?
"How dare you steal the Ye Xu Flame!" Tianlin Gongzi roared at the demonic youth. His storm martial soul went wild, instantly descending upon the void. Its terrifying might enveloped the demonic youth, then crushed down from the sky. The sizzling destructive force seemed to go berserk, threatening to shatter the void itself.
A flash of light—Carefree Step Art, boundless and inconceivably fast.
"Carefree Step Art!" Tianlin Gongzi's eyes widened. Then, an incredibly terrifying demonic force pressed toward him. Demonic waves surged sky-high, all roaring and crushing toward him.
Carefree Step Art—how could this demonic youth possibly know Carefree Step Art?
"Annihilate!" A rolling roar spat from the demonic youth's mouth. A boundless, enormous palm shadow pressed down from the void, directly crushing toward Tianlin Gongzi.
"Crack..."
Terrifying air waves rolled wildly. The fearsome demonic palm force blasted Tianlin Gongzi backward. The martial soul in the void went berserk, churning space and pressing down toward the demonic youth.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Rolling shouts of slaughter were overbearing and violent, shaking the eardrums of the crowd. Boom after boom sounded without end, as if the demonic youth had unleashed countless furious demonic palms in an instant.
Tianlin Gongzi was forced back continuously, his aura fluctuating and his face pale. His eyes stared fixedly at the demonic youth before him.
"Die!" Tianlin Gongzi roared wildly. His finger pointed at the storm martial soul in the void. Instantly, the sky-covering storm crushed down from the void. The sizzling destructive force went mad, shattering everything in its path, annihilating all.
The demonic youth looked up. A terrifying cold light burst from his eyes as he spat out an icy voice: "The Great Dao is merciless, demonic sky covers all—kill!"
"Roar..." A terrifying howl went wild, as if countless air waves surged with the demonic youth's body, charging toward the storm martial soul in the void. Heaven and earth shook. The endless demonic aura seemed to fill even that crushing storm martial soul.
The storm martial soul's crushing speed grew slower and slower. The demonic youth's eyes once again blazed with sharpness. His entire body was covered in demonic energy, and his pupils radiated terrifying demonic intent.
"No matter how strong the storm, it must be annihilated."
"Clang! Boom!"
Endless demonic energy transformed into sky-covering palms, churning boundless demonic aura as they charged into the void. The destructive storm martial soul roared in fury but was blasted upward, its power weakening.
"Die!" A terrifying demonic hand reached toward Tianlin Gongzi, filled with fearsome demonic energy. This demonic hand extended, unstoppable, destroying everything in its path.
Tianlin Gongzi traced his palm through the void. Instantly, a howling storm formed before him, twisting to shred the approaching hand.
"Boom!" The demonic hand suddenly flipped, transforming into countless black palm prints that blasted toward him. The terrifying collision shook the space. One palm print finally struck Tianlin Gongzi's hand, blasting blood from his mouth. His storm martial soul moved with him, its fearsome power diminished.
Witnessing this, the crowd's hearts trembled violently, their shock immeasurable. Who was this demonic youth? Such terrifying combat power! At the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, he could defeat a Martial Emperor's Disciple. Demonic energy surged to the heavens, his gaze arrogant, slaying gods who blocked his path.
Within that mountain peak, the mass of flame light seemed to still be devouring the Ye Xu Flame. As the flame light grew weaker, the crowd shifted their attention and were horrified to discover that the Ye Xu Flame had been consumed significantly. It was now very faint, and even the flame mountain had dimmed considerably.
"Not good." The aloof, domineering youth's face changed. He stepped forward, moving toward the direction of the Ye Xu Flame.
The demonic youth's gaze shifted, landing on him. He spat out a cold voice: "Stop right there."
The domineering youth glanced at him. His Wuji pattern martial soul emerged, radiating ten thousand beams of golden light.
"Kill!"
An icy voice spat from his mouth. This person actually wanted to slowly devour the Ye Xu Flame—no mercy, kill without exception.
The Wuji pattern martial soul rotated, its sharp golden light killing toward the demonic youth. But the demonic youth's expression grew colder, rolling demonic energy howling wildly.
The Hua Clan youth and the Ice-Fire youth also moved together, unleashing terrifying attacks, trying to cross past the demonic youth. They would never allow the Ye Xu Flame to fall into another's hands.
"Thump, thump, thump..." The demonic youth stared at those devastating attacks, standing there. Rolling demonic energy coiled around his body, surging skyward, causing the crowd's hearts to beat incessantly.
"Skyless Great Demon Seal Technique—kill!"
A rolling roar spat from the demonic youth's mouth. His body released a terrifying, lawless demonic aura. The Great Demon Seal imprint appeared. Heaven and earth seemed to crack apart. A destructive force crushed everything in its path, reducing all power to dust and ashes, unstoppable.
