Breaking Through to Dou Zun
Xiao Yan's body shone with a yellowish-brown light, which did not spread very far, but remained only half an inch away from his skin.
However, this mere half-inch of radiant light actually dragged the Emperor Flame enveloping Xiao Yan his body, suppressing its power and tempering his body.
Without the protection of the Emperor Flame, the purplish-black waves of fire that rushed towards him struck Hao Mang directly, but to no avail.
Hao Mang remained unmoved, and the purplish-black flames were also drawn into Xiao Yan's body, becoming nourishment for body tempering.
"The medicine is quite effective."
Xiao Yan nodded, and then, following his senses of the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, he searched for the Origin Fire Seed of the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the seemingly boundless sea of fire.
After rushing headlong towards the direction from which the sensation came for several breaths, Xiao Yan finally saw a faint white light appear in his vision.
Xiao Yan's spirits lifted. The entire area was filled with Purple-Black Flame, and the only white thing was Nightmare Heavenly Mist.
With a flash, Xiao Yan appeared in the thin mist that was only a few feet in diameter. The Fire Dragon trapped inside was no longer pure black, but had turned back to its original purplish-black color, its aura slightly weakened.
At this moment, the Fire Dragon's eyes were half-open and half-closed, twitching slightly in the light white mist, clearly indicating that it was about to break through the restrictions of the Nightmare Heavenly Mist and awaken.
As Xiao Yan changed his hand seals, he spewed a thick white mist at the Fire Dragon, causing the struggling Fire Dragon to completely sink into the dream and be at Xiao Yan's mercy.
After taking a few steps forward, Xiao Yan grabbed the powerless Fire Dragon in his hand.
In the dream, Xiao Yan is invincible, crushing the Three Thousand Burning Flame in both bloodline and energy, thus it has now developed a sense of fear.
As I reached out and brushed my hand across the Fire Dragon's body, strands of alluring blood-red veins suddenly appeared on its originally purplish-black scales.
Blood streaks clung to and grew on the Fire Dragon's body, fueling its inner fear and further weakening Fire Dragon, making it even more listless.
"That should be about right."
Xiao Yan pinched the limp, purplish-black Fire Dragon and shook it. Seeing it instinctively tremble and curl up, he nodded in satisfaction.
Xiao Yan took out the Heavenly Demon Puppet and tossed it aside, letting it be tempered by the sea of fire. Then, he took out the Green Lotus Platform, sat on it, and swallowed the Fire Dragon into his stomach.
The purplish-black Fire Dragon did not cause much harm to Xiao Yan. The heat it emitted was completely blocked by the yellowish-brown crystal layer in his meridians. Even its original energy began to be extracted by the crystal layer and turned into nutrients for Xiao Yan's body tempering.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan realized that the medicinal power of the Pill Beast was too strong. Not only were the crystal layers not damaged, but they also accumulated to a thicker thickness with the help of the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Three Thousand Burning Flame did not resist, but under multiple suppressions, the Three Thousand Burning Flame obviously had no chance to resist!
Stimulated by the flames tempering his body, the Supreme Pill that Xiao Yan had previously taken began to emerge continuously, transforming into Dou Qi under the tempering of the Fallen Heart Flame, thus promoting the growth of his cultivation.
At the same time, the energy accumulated by the Three Thousand Burning Flame over countless years was also infused into Xiao Yan's body under the influence of the Green Lotus.
Xiao Yan glanced at the trembling, blood-red Three Thousand Burning Flame that was not fighting back. It had almost become Xiao Yan's Flame Slave. As long as Xiao Yan was not injured, it would not be able to resist at all.
"Then let's break through to the Dou Zun first!"
Xiao Yan took out the Supreme Pill of the Four-Colored Pill Lightning and resolved to become a medicine pot.
In the Star Domain, there is no sun or moon, only a sky full of Purple-Black Flame emitting a light unique to the stars.
Xuan Kongzi came to check on Xiao Yan a month after he went deep into the Star Domain. He saw a huge vortex in the distance, and the surrounding purplish-black flames were being swallowed by the vortex.
It was obvious that Xiao Yan was absorbing the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, so Xuan Kongzi left with peace of mind, simply maintaining the space of the Star Domain as usual.
Xiao Yan had no idea how much purplish-black flame he had swallowed. All he knew was that the Green Lotus Platform beneath his buttocks had reached a certain limit, melting under the terrifying temperature of the Three Thousand Burning Flame and turning into a pool of azure liquid that merged into Xiao Yan's body.
"Roar!"
With the accumulation of various energies, Xiao Yan finally broke through a certain barrier and unleashed his full power.
"Dou Zun, or Two-star Dou Zun."
Xiao Yan clenched his fist; the power of Dou Zun was not even in the same league as that of Dou Zong.
"But my physical body seems to be stronger than my Dou Qi cultivation?"
Xiao Yan summoned the Heavenly Demon Puppet by beckoning over. Without using his Dou Qi, he relied entirely on his own strength to punch the puppet in the chest.
"Thump!"
The two collided and a metallic clang erupted. With just one punch, the Heavenly Demon Puppet was sent flying hundreds of meters before it finally regained its footing.
When it returned to Xiao Yan's front, a fist-shaped mark two or three inches deep appeared on its chest. If this fist had directly hit the chest of an ordinary five or Dou Zun, the Dou Zun would have been severely injured on the spot!
The medicinal power of the Pill Beast was completely exhausted during this period, but the effects it brought were extremely remarkable!
This Three Thousand Burning Flame is also intricately connected to the Ancient Void Dragon. The faint trace of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor Bloodline within Xiao Yan's body is continuously stimulated under the tempering of this Three Thousand Burning Flame, causing Xiao Yan's physical strength to leap forward continuously.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Yan's body is now stronger than Xiong Zhan's, surpassing that of a true Eighth Grade Magical Beast, and is in no way inferior to a true Eighth Rank Ancient Void Dragon!
"Well, right now my soul cultivation is the strongest, my physical cultivation is second, and my Dou Qi cultivation is the weakest, which is completely the opposite of others."
After a moment of reflection, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to the blood-red Three Thousand Burning Flame.
At this moment, the Three Thousand Burning Flame had completely lost their original purplish-black color. Xiao Yan no longer needed to maintain the Nightmare Heavenly Mist; its intelligence had already sunk into the dream and submitted to Xiao Yan.
It's hard to imagine that a genuine Heavenly Flames would become Xiao Yan's Flame Slave!
It is precisely because of this that during this period of time, the Three Thousand Burning Flame have been circulating on the cultivation path of the Flame Mantra Cultivation Technique Route countless times, yet Xiao Yan has not yet made any move to attack its intelligence.
Neither the Fallen Heart Flame nor the Red Lotus Karmic Fire were imbued with any intelligence by Xiao Yan. Instead, he completely eradicated them, because Xiao Yan knew in his heart that these things were unreliable.
However, facing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had already become Flame Slave, Xiao Yan still had a different thought.
"Give it a try! If I can extract your consciousness, I won't mind crafting a body for you and giving you a Sub-flame of the Three Thousand Burning Flame."
"Under my guidance, your talent will definitely not be buried, and breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is just around the corner!"
"Don't forget to thank me when the time comes!"
Xiao Yan immersed himself in the Emperor Flame, extending purple flame tentacles that pierced the Origin Fire Seed of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, beginning to micromanage its intelligence and the fire seed.
