Three Thousand Burning Flame

The square was abuzz with excitement for a long time. Even after the contestants had left, countless spectators remained immersed in their excitement, constantly discussing Xiao Yan's deeds.

Xiao Yan himself left early to prepare to devour and refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Since negotiations had already been completed with Xuan Kongzi and the team had won the Pill Gathering Champion, the ten participants were instead to attempt to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame together. Instead, the team would enter the Star Domain where the Three Thousand Burning Flame were sealed, starting with the first-place winner.

Of course, after Xiao Yan enters, the Pill Tower will notify the others that the Three Thousand Burning Flame have been suppressed by Xiao Yan and the refining process has begun. Your chance is over, but each of you will be compensated with a Prosperous Fire...

The Three Thousand Burning Flame were sealed in the Star Domain by the Pill Tower Three Greats. Every time the Star Domain was opened, the three giants had to do their best to maintain the seal from the outside.

Therefore, the one who led Xiao Yan to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame was a Pill Tower Elder named Qiu Ling.

The Star Domain was only created by three Peak Dou Zun, and can only be considered a Small Space. It is not perfect. Xiao Yan can even see many Space Rift that directly connect to the void.

Xiao Yan followed Elder Qiu Ling for more than twenty minutes before approaching a cluster of intense, blazing light.

Within the light was a colossal dragon whose length was unseen. Its eyes were closed, and its body was coiled and twisted. Wisps of purplish-black flames swirled around its massive body, making the already unstable space in the Star Domain even more distorted.

Just as Xiao Yan approached, the giant dragon suddenly opened its eyes, its vertical pupils filled with Dragon Might might locking onto Xiao Yan.

The purplish-black flames that wrapped around the dragon suddenly surged, seemingly wanting to burn the two arriving people to ashes.

However, Elder Qiu Ling noticed that the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which should have been unruly, now had a deep-seated fear in its eyes, and the surging flames seemed to be just bluffing.

"This is the Three Thousand Burning Flame. I didn't expect that you would awaken it simply by your arrival," Elder Qiuling sighed.

Xiao Yan smiled, and the Emperor Flame in his heart trembled slightly, causing a deep purple flame to ignite around his body.

Unlike the purplish-black flames of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which are filled with the power of stars, Xiao Yan's purple flames are incredibly deep, and a single glance at them seems to cause one's soul to sink into them.

Elder Qiu looked away and said, "The Three Thousand Burning Flame are sealed. There is a dragon scale on its forehead that has not been covered by the purple-black flames. You can find its Origin Fire Seed by penetrating it with your Soul Power."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded to Elder Qiu Ling and said, "Elder, please leave the Star Domain first! Refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame will likely cause quite a stir."

Elder Qiu glanced out of the corner of his eye at the purple flame that made his heart tremble, and then at the somewhat withered purplish-black flames around the Three Thousand Burning Flame. He immediately put aside his doubts and left without hesitation.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, guessing that Elder Qiu Ling had left, Xiao Yan stepped forward and found the dragon scale that was not covered by flames.

Xiao Yan then realized that each of the dragon's scales was about the same size as himself, and its surface was covered with dense black lines that formed seals, suppressing the dragon so that it could not move.

Xiao Yan reached out and gently touched the scale. It felt cool to the touch, as if the temperature had been sealed away.

Soul Power surged from between his brows and flowed into the scales in his palms. Immediately, Xiao Yan's soul seemed to break through something and appeared in a strange void.

This void was filled with Purple-Black Flame. Xiao Yan immediately saw a mysterious Fire Dragon at the center of the flames—the very source fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The moment Xiao Yan and the Fire Dragon locked eyes, endless purplish-black flames surged toward Xiao Yan, attempting to completely engulf him.

"Roar!"

An invisible wave of fire clashed with the purplish-black flames, and a furious dragon roar erupted from Xiao Yan's mouth, directly attacking the Fire Dragon.

This Three Thousand Burning Flame, due to its long accumulation, has reached a strength comparable to the Peak Dou Zun, while Xiao Yan's Soul Realm is the Spirit Realm Great Perfection, which is also equivalent to the Peak Dou Zun.

However, the Dragon Might of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which originated from the Ancient Void Dragon, was far inferior to the Dragon Might of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor that Xiao Yan obtained from Zi Yan!

With just a roar, the purplish-black flames retreated. Even in the Three Thousand Burning Flame arena, these purplish-black flames were still suppressed by Xiao Yan's invisible flames!

"Foolish human, if you had cultivated for a few more years, I might not have been able to handle you. But since you've chosen to die, then become my nourishment!"

The cold voice reached Xiao Yan's ears, and the next moment, the originally purplish-black Fire Dragon turned completely black, and the power of the originally pervasive purplish-black flames suddenly surged.

Moreover, the connection between this space and the outside world was completely severed by the Three Thousand Burning Flame, preventing Xiao Yan's mind from receiving replenishment of Soul Power.

Clearly, the Three Thousand Burning Flame wanted to first erase this part of Xiao Yan's mind, and then take the opportunity to completely defeat Xiao Yan.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame was quite intelligent. It knew very well that once this human broke through to the Dou Zun, it would have no chance to pose any threat to him. If it wanted to avoid being refined, it could only seize this opportunity to fight desperately!

Faced with the desperate stance of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly, and then suddenly charged towards the Fire Dragon, which was now completely black!

A ruthless glint flashed in the Fire Dragon's eyes. If it could devour this human, even if it was only a part of his Soul Power, it could advance even further.

Therefore, the Fire Dragon did not dodge, but opened its mouth and charged straight at Xiao Yan!

Just as the man and the dragon were about to collide, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a triumphant smile, and then he exploded, turning into a thick white mist that directly enveloped the black Fire Dragon that couldn't dodge in time.

Fire Dragon felt his eyelids were incredibly heavy, as if he were about to sink into a dream.

This is different from the seal of the Pill Tower. The Pill Tower seal suppresses the seed of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, forcing it into slumber; this mist, however, directly targets its intelligence, causing it to lose its self and become powerless to control the power of the flames!

If he were to become completely lost in the dream, the Three Thousand Burning Flame would have no way to withstand Xiao Yan's next visit!

"Cunning humans!" Taking advantage of its last moments of lucidity, the Fire Dragon roared and then made its decision.

Standing before the scales, Xiao Yan rubbed his temples.

Although the Three Thousand Burning Flame were outmaneuvered, Xiao Yan did indeed lose a portion of his Soul Power.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan was about to inject his Soul Power again to retrieve the Origin Fire Seed of the Three Thousand Burning Flame when he was shocked to find that the scales in front of him were now covered with cracks.

Xiao Yan leaped backward to create distance, only to discover that the dragon's flames seemed to have lost control, unable to maintain their Dragon Shape, and were exploding from its head backward.

Even the seal of the Pill Tower was rendered ineffective at this moment, unable to contain the self-destructing Three Thousand Burning Flame.

"They're really going all out!"

Xiao Yan shrugged, sighed slightly, and then took out the Pill Beast refined by Xuan Kongzi.

This Pill Beast was a pangolin curled up in a ball, its entire body covered with yellowish-brown scales. Just by smelling the pill's fragrance, Xiao Yan felt a few Energy Crystal Layer, as thick as the earth, forming on his meridians.

Xiao Yan swallowed the Pill Beast in one gulp, and at that very moment, the seal covering the dragon's body finally collapsed completely, and the energy accumulated by the Three Thousand Burning Flame for countless years exploded with a bang.

To make the ending more concise, I deliberately wrote an extra two hundred words.
