Fire Fire Fire

Seeing that Xiao Xuan could ignore the Space Seal they had jointly set up with just a projection, the two Soul Clan Dou Sheng gained a better understanding of this formidable Great Enemy whom even their Patriarch took very seriously.

Xiao Xuan paid no attention to these two ants, but looked elsewhere and said indifferently, "Last time the Soul Clan besieged me, the Hun Tiandi was leading the charge, and four Eight-star Dou Sheng were supporting us. Why are they only sending a Seven Star Dou Sheng now? Could it be that the Soul Clan has already declined to the point of collapse?"

As the calm words fell, another figure carrying a large sword slowly appeared. Unlike the Blood Saber Saint, Xiao Yan could not sense the aura of this Energy Body at all.

"You think a mere projection can turn the world upside down?"

This was one of the Soul Clan Four Demon Saints who guarded the outside of the Spirit Realm. He was killed on the spot by three Nine-star Dou Sheng, leaving no trace of his body. He also followed the Patriarch's instructions and voluntarily entered the Heavenly Tomb, transforming into Energy Body that was neither human nor ghost.

As a top-tier expert in the Late-stage Seven-star Dou Sheng, Hun Sha would naturally be able to play a greater role.

Even within the Soul Clan, Hun Sha's strength is among the top. Apart from the Patriarch, Nihility Devouring Flame, and the four Living Dead, he is already among the strongest in the Late-stage Seven-star Dou Sheng.

But there was no other way. Three Nine-star Dou Sheng came at once. If Hun Sha didn't enter the Heavenly Tomb, he wouldn't have had the slightest chance of survival.

As a result, even after entering the Heavenly Tomb, he still had to fight Xiao Xuan.

Having personally experienced the terror of the Patriarch and been killed by Nine-star Dou Sheng, Hun Sha understands this level of power better than those two country bumpkins who have never seen the world.

Let alone projection, even if Xiao Xuan were to strike remotely from within the Tomb Mansion, a casual blow would be too much for even the Hun Sha to withstand!

Therefore, after Xiao Xuan's projection appeared, Hun Sha wanted to run away, but he was locked on and had nowhere to escape.

At this moment, Hun Sha was just being stubborn and trying to maintain a semblance of dignity.

"Boom!"

Xiao Xuan gave this Hun Sha some face, even looking at his stubborn figure, before waving his hand and destroying the Hun Sha and everything within a radius of several hundred feet.

After doing all this, Xiao Xuan looked at the remaining two One-star Dou Sheng with a scrutinizing gaze, stroked his chin, and said, "Should I let you practice on them?"

"Me?" Xiao Yan pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

"If I'm not mistaken, you also have the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flame sealed within you. If you were to devour and refine these two Heavenly Flames, the power of your attack would undergo a qualitative leap."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Tomb is extremely rich in World Energy. Perhaps you can break through to the Half-Saint level in two and a half years?"

" At the Half-Saint level, when you activate the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, your strength should be second only to Dou Sheng. It's not impossible for you to deal with these two one- Dou Sheng energy body, something that can't be compared to a true Dou Sheng Expert."

Xiao Xuan's explanation immediately made Xiao Yan realize his potential.

"Then... why don't we give it a try?" Xiao Yan looked at the two Energy Body with interest.

"Alright." Xiao Xuan nodded lightly, ignoring the two ants, and led Xiao Yan and Xun'er into his Tomb Mansion.

"My Tomb Mansion located at the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb, which is also the place with the most concentrated World Energy. You can cultivate here." Xiao Xuan said listlessly, and then asked Xiao Yan, "It seems that you haven't cultivated the Xiao Clan Mark yet?"

"Um, well, the main problem is that there are too many Heavenly Flames. For every Heavenly Flames I refine, I have to redo the first three levels of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose.

"Moreover, the Clan Mark consumes a lot of Dou Qi. I originally planned to try again when I Nine-star Dou Zun, but I entered the Heavenly Tomb not long after breaking through and rushed to the third level without stopping."

"Well, then there's no need to draw the Clan Mark." Xiao Xuan's tone was quite calm, which made Xiao Yan feel even more guilty.

"Compared to the Heavenly Flames, the Dou Di Bloodline is actually just so-so. Even Divine Bloodline, the Clan Mark's enhancement to combat power is definitely not as good as your current Heavenly Flames." Xiao Xuan glanced at Xun'er and added, "With the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, it's about on par with yours."

Xun'er blinked and said, "Brother Xiao Yan is exceptionally talented, far surpassing Xun'er. If it weren't for my fortunate closeness with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Xun'er afraid I would be a burden even standing next to Brother Xiao Yan."

"Oh?" Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xiao Yan again, but said nothing more. He only left a message saying, "You can ask me if you don't understand anything," before disappearing.

It seems they didn't want to disturb the young couple any longer.

"How could Xun'er be a burden?"

Ancestor Xiao Xuan left, Xiao Yan put his arm around Xun'er's slender waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said gently, "The Azure Green Lotus Core Flame that Xun'er found for me has been beating in my heart ever since!"

"Um, Brother Xiao Yan..."

Xun'er Xiao Yan's sweet words, Xun'er felt weak all over and even lost all her strength. She collapsed into Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan, her big eyes filled with tears as she looked at him with tenderness.

Since he hadn't broken through to the Dou Sheng and there were powerful figures watching from the sidelines, nothing particularly exciting or interesting happened between Xiao Yan and Xun'er.

Although Xun'er would definitely not refuse, Xiao Yan felt he couldn't be so irresponsible.

Along the way, with the backing of the Gu Clan, Xiao Yan avoided countless obstacles. To turn around and destroy their Divine Bloodline is simply despicable.

Of course, kissing is a must, but it seems like they can only occasionally give each other a quick peck to ease their loneliness.

The two entered a state of cultivation Xiao Xuan's Tomb Mansion.

Xiao Yan needed to refine the two Heavenly Flames in turn, and since he didn't need the Energy Core, he gave them all to Xun'er.

While Xiao Yan was refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame, he also discovered the special nature of the Heavenly Tomb Space.

Perhaps because the space created by the Dou Emperor himself is somewhat different, the isolation between it and the Dou Qi Continent is also exceptionally strong. Here, it seems that there is no star power, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame cannot gain a "home field advantage".

This made it much easier for Xiao Yan to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The Eight Desolations Destruction Flame put Xiao Yan under pressure.

This sixth-ranked Heavenly Flames has energy fluctuations that are close to the level of Half-Saint. Even though it was once in the hands of the Yan Clan and was marked with Blood Soul Mark, it was difficult for a certain Dou Zun to refine it.

The gap widens as time goes on. Although Xiao Yan swallowed the Green Lotus Core Flame at the Dou Shi level, the risk of him now swallowing the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame at the Nine-star Dou Zun is not small.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan had a cheat code: the Heavenly Flames within his body had already broken through a certain level, and the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame was weak and listless in front of it, and the rage unique to Heavenly Flames was not shown at all.

Xiao Yan symbolically ate one Pills and then refined it.

At this time, Xiao Yan had already refined eight different flames: the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame (a wisp of origin), the Flame of Life Spirit Flame (Sub-flame), the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame Three Thousand Burning Flame, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Green Lotus Core Flame Heavenly Flames. The Flame Mantra pushed to the advanced Heavenly Tier, becoming the most top-tier cultivation technique in the Dou Qi Continent.

His cultivation level also reached the One-turn Peak.

The original Azure Lotus had completely transformed into the form that Xiao Yan could not bear. Brilliant flames occasionally flashed from the lotus petals. It seemed very unstable, yet it was kept on the verge of destruction under the soothing power of the Burning Judgment Battle Qi.

Xiao Yan was somewhat confused by the situation and tried to ask Xiao Xuan for advice, but Xiao Xuan couldn't understand it either.

He only said one thing: if it doesn't explode, don't worry about it; if it does explode, just throw it away.

Xiao Yan wholeheartedly agreed.

It's obvious, but it makes a lot of sense.

Ignoring the lotus that was twitching occasionally, Xiao Yan left the Tomb Mansion under Xiao Xuan's watchful eye and began hunting Energy Body on the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer.

The swarms of eight- and nine-star Energy Body could no longer cause Xiao Yan any trouble—although Xiao Yan was only at the first stage of transformation, once that Heavenly Flames was unleashed, nothing could stop it.

The consumption of Dou Qi was also extremely terrifying. Xiao Yan could only last for about ten minutes while simultaneously activating the Flame Mantra to absorb the World Energy and using the Heavenly Flames.

It should be noted that the endurance of Peak Dou Zun is unimaginably powerful. Without an overwhelming gap, two Peak Dou Zun could fight for ten days and their clothes would only get slightly dirty.

Clearly, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames is already at the level of a Dou Sheng, which is beyond the reach of Dou Zun.

In the numerous hunts, the Soul Clan's Dou Sheng never appeared—they didn't even have the interest to kill Xiao Yan in advance. The scene of Xiao Xuan's projection casually annihilating Hun Sha had become an inescapable nightmare in their hearts.

As time passed, Xiao Yan's target gradually shifted to Half-Saint energy body, such as the Blood Saber Saint who had blocked his way earlier. Xiao Yan happened to encounter him during a hunt and sent him to his death with a Five-Flame Bomb, which could be considered a fitting end to his previous goal.

The immense energy from the Half-Saint Energy Core also accelerated Xiao Yan's accumulation of Dou Qi by a considerable margin.

Before we knew it, two and a half years had passed.

On this day, Xiao Yan was competing with Xun'er.

Brilliant Golden Flame streaked across the sky like shooting stars, controlled by Xun'er, constantly falling towards Xiao Yan's dodging and weaving figure.

Xiao Yan didn't even summon Heavenly Flames. He simply relied on his movement technique, his experience from two and a half years of constant fighting, and his keen sense of fire to easily evade all of Xun'er's attacks.

Most of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame were in vain, eventually crashing to the ground or dissipating into the air, leaving only scattered golden light.

"Brother Xiao Yan, be careful."

Until a certain moment, the amount of golden light seemed to exceed a certain limit. Xun'er changed her hand seals, and a Formation quietly took shape, trapping Xiao Yan inside.

In ancient times, this Formation composed of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame even had the record of trapping and killing Dou Sheng).

But the next moment, numerous gaps appeared within the perfectly sealed Golden Flame, and the originally dazzling golden light dimmed.

Xiao Yan was enveloped in Heavenly Flames. He bent down and rammed into the formation, extinguishing a patch of Golden Flame. The originally exquisite Formation instantly collapsed, and Xiao Yan easily broke through.

"There's nothing we can do, we can't solve it, Xun'er has won again."

Xiao Yan sighed and moved closer to Xun'er, poking her little cheeks that had somehow puffed up.

It feels really good.

Now, Xun'er's strength is gradually surpassing Xiao Yan's — Xiao Xuan gave Xun'er special training, stuffing the Late-stage Seven-star Dou Sheng Energy Core of the Soul Clan into Xun'er hands.

Xun'er's breakthrough speed was faster than Volcanic Eruption. Xiao Yan was only at the Nine-turn Peak of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations and was only at the late stage of the Half-Saint level, Xun'er was already at the peak of the late stage of the Half-Saint level.

And so, the Energy Core was not yet used up.

Of course, this can be considered a kind of "reciprocity" to some extent. Xiao Xuan had seen how Gu Yuan took care of Xiao Yan outside.

Therefore, in the Heavenly Tomb, now that it was Xiao Xuan's home turf, Xiao Xuan didn't mind taking care of Xun'er.

Especially Xun'er was Gu Yuan's biological daughter, a Divine Bloodline that the Gu Clan rarely saw in a thousand years, yet she was seduced by his own descendant. Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Xuan felt that his long-dead heart, as if it had died, had burst forth with a wisp of life.

In short, it's comfortable.

"Three years have almost passed. Now it's time for you two to take your revenge." Xiao Xuan said goodbye and then disappeared as always.

The two One-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Clan failed to make any waves.

They had originally planned to pay a price to escape to the second level of the Heavenly Tomb.

However, there was a hidden "manager" in the Heavenly Tomb who prohibited such behavior, and the passage itself also rejected the strong from going against the flow, so they did not succeed.

As for the plans targeting the younger generation of the Ancient Eight Clans and the little princess of the Ancient Void Dragon, there was absolutely no chance of them being implemented.

Xiao Xuan had been watching them the whole time.

If they overstep their bounds, Xiao Xuan wouldn't mind sending them on their way first.

Anyway, the Heavenly Tomb Third Layer is not lacking in Dou Sheng energy body.

Therefore, the two Soul Clan Dou Sheng could only wait in despair for their deaths.

Xiao Yan Xun'er used some effort to subdue the two unknown one- Dou Sheng energy body. They didn't even spare the young Soul Clan who was with them, burning him to ashes.

Not long after they finished dealing with the Soul Clan, the two also felt the rejection from the Heavenly Tomb.

Unless someone "smuggles" in and has a Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng backing them up, making the Heavenly Tomb "administrator" hesitant to intervene, everyone will be expelled from the Heavenly Tomb after three years.

Even the two Soul Clan emitted a burst of energy from the space where they ascended.

The two elders of the Soul Clan, seeing their genius reduced to nothing, realized their mission had failed and their fate was grim. However, they dared not cause trouble in the Ancient Realm and could only slink away in disgrace.

Xun'er's sudden increase in strength naturally attracted Gu Yuan's attention. After inquiring, he learned that the Soul Clan had actually extended their tentacles into the Heavenly Tomb.

After glancing between Xiao Yan and Xun'er several times, Gu Yuan finally spoke up, "Xiao Yan, I have a request."

"Uncle, you flatter me." Xiao Yan looked apprehensive. "Uncle has done me a great favor. I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"After Xun'er breaks through to the Dou Sheng, I will remove the Gu Clan's Blood Soul Mark from the origin of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame." Gu Yuan paused before continuing, "The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is about to descend upon the world, and I hope you can help Xun'er subdue Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."
