Edge Fully Revealed

After a brief silence, Gu Yao quickly adjusted his mindset.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yao immediately concluded that Xiao Yan intended to rely on the three Fire Beasts to withstand a hundred moves. While feeling speechless, he also felt a hint of contempt— Xiao Yan didn't even try to defeat him.

Xiao Yan was already at the Eight Star Dou Huang Peak, only one star lower than Gu Yao. One star at the Dou Emperor level wasn't a huge difference, but Xiao Yan's posture was truly disdainful to Gu Yao.

Without further thought, the Gu Yao stomped heavily on the ground, its body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The drifting snowflakes formed a rapidly approaching white line, instantly enveloping Xiao Yan and the three-headed Fire Beast.

A chilling aura attempted to seep into Xiao Yan's body, but the Heavenly Flames quickly dispelled it, rendering it ineffective against Xiao Yan.

"Mysterious Ice Force!"

The Gu Yao did not intend to achieve great results through a Dou Technique that was more of a support skill. After a sharp shout, he flashed in front of the Green Fire Beast and thrust his Long Spear forward, the tip of the spear suddenly spitting out a cold light that was about ten feet long.

The icy energy bypassed the Fire Beast's thick tortoise shell and pierced straight towards the area between its neck and forelimbs.

"Boom!"

To the Gu Yao's surprise, the force entered the Fire Beast's body without any hindrance, even penetrating the tip of the Long Spear.

The Gu Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, showing no joy at having gained the upper hand. He immediately abandoned the Long Spear, his Dou Qi Wings flapped wildly, and he shot away.

Just as it retreated, a burst of azure flame filled with destructive energy erupted from where the Long Spear had pierced through, bursting open like Volcanic Eruption.

The Long Spear was instantly torn apart by the flames. This Fire Beast, which seemed to be more defensive, was actually like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest touch.

In fact, Ice Attribute and fire elemental Dou Qi are mutually restraining; if the difference is too great, they will only have a "stimulating" effect.

The existence of such extraordinary Heavenly Flames is an absolute advantage at the Dou Emperor level.

If it weren't for the Gu Yao's extensive combat experience, he would have already lost that last time.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly at the Gu Yao who had finally become serious, then stepped forward and leisurely walked into the green Fire Beast in front of him.

After ensuring his own safety, Xiao Yan had a thought, and the two Fire Beasts on his left and right rushed towards the Gu Yao.

Under normal circumstances, Alchemist can only refine one flame as their Origin Fire Seed, and in battle, they will only conjure one Fire Beast.

But Xiao Yan was clearly no ordinary man. He sent two Fire Beasts, each formed from a different kind of Heavenly Flames, crashing into the Gu Yao from the left and right.

Having just sensed the explosion of the Heavenly Flames, the Gu Yao was unwilling to confront it head-on, and shifted its body to avoid being attacked from both sides.

However, the moment the blue flames and green flames came into contact, the two Fire Beast exploded.

Xiao Yan didn't bother to maintain the Fire Beast's form at all, letting the incompatible Heavenly Flames collide and erupt into the most violent explosion.

The terrifying heat spread with the raging flames, leaving no room for the chill in the training ground.

However, Xiao Yan had already hidden himself under the protection of the Life Lotus Core Flame. This Heavenly Flames, formed by the fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Life Spirit Flame, was perfectly suited to resist the explosion caused by these two Heavenly Flames.

The raging flames raged for several dozen breaths before gradually subsiding.

The ground was no longer as flat as before. The rocks, which were solid enough to withstand the battle of Dou Wang, were now broken and shattered. At the center of the explosion, molten lava was flowing, demonstrating the power of the Heavenly Flames.

The Gu Yao was in an even more wretched state. Most of its Dou Qi had been used up, and its Dou Qi Armor was even worse than what it had been on the ground. It couldn't even completely cover the armor, revealing the skin underneath that had been scorched red.

"So this is the Heavenly Flames...?"

Gu Yao gritted his teeth, glaring at Xiao Yan with deep resentment.

The green flames surrounding Xiao Yan had thinned to a mere layer, which meant that the explosion had not breached his defenses and therefore had not injured him.

Compared to the intense burning sensation that Gu Yao felt throughout his body, Xiao Yan was undoubtedly in better condition.

Xiao Yan, unaware of Gu Yao's thoughts, continued his attack as Gu Yao remained standing. During the raging flames, Xiao Yan had already condensed a sharp spike.

"Call out!"

This time, there was no concealment. Spikes spewed from the flames, creating a series of whooshing sounds as they sliced through the air, locking onto the Gu Yao had been greatly exhausted.

The Gu Yao instantly sensed the life-threatening power, its breath caught in its throat, and under the repeated violent impacts, the power dormant within its body slowly awakened.

His previously listless aura was instantly restored, and he quickly returned to his peak, surpassing the Dou Huang Realm, breaking through the Dou Zong realm, and even attempting to rise further.

"Enough!"

Just as the Gu Yao's aura was rising steadily and the spikes were about to pierce its forehead, an old man suddenly appeared and shouted sharply.

The spikes that could severely injure Seventh Grade Magical Beast shattered directly under the old man's roar. Even the Gu Yao deflated like a punctured balloon, its momentum instantly collapsing.

The old man first examined the Gu Yao and found that he was merely pale, with flushed skin, covered in cold sweat, and suffering from deficiency of both qi and blood. His Dou Di Bloodline was somewhat unstable, but it would not affect his foundation. Only then did he slowly speak:

"Xiao Yan inherited the last vestiges of the Xiao Clan's glory. Even the most outstanding members of our Gu Clan might not be his match."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao remained silent. The most outstanding Gu Clan right now should be Gu Qingyang, followed closely by Gu Xun'er. Both of them have already broken through to the Dou Zong, but even so, they cannot reliably defeat Xiao Yan, who is at the Eight Star Dou Huang Peak.

But thinking of Xiao Yan's calm and composed demeanor, Gu Yao lost his confidence and could only grit his teeth and nod.

The old man then turned to look at Xiao Yan. Although his expression was not very good, he still nodded to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan glanced at the old man and said indifferently, "Then, does the most outstanding disciple of the Gu Clan have time now?"

The old man's expression hardened, and he looked at Xiao Yan with a deep gaze, saying, "You want to challenge Gu Qingyang?"

"Ah, if Gu Qingyang is the best, then this is it." Xiao Yan glanced at Gu Yao and continued, "I think I should be able to withstand a hundred moves."

"..." Gu Yao's face turned even paler, paler than a dead man, but he just clenched his fists and didn't reply, silently accepting Xiao Yan's mockery.

All things considered, Gu Yao only lasted three moves against Xiao Yan and had no say at all.

The old man said no more. He simply reached out and grabbed, and with a surge of Space Power, the shattered earth was smoothed out, restoring the entire training ground to its original state. Xiao Yan, who had been standing on it all along, was completely unaffected.

After slightly intimidating Xiao Yan, the old man seemed quite satisfied with the effect. He put his hands behind his back, said "You should recover your Dou Qi first," and then disappeared.
