Rampage

Ever since Han Feng was killed by the Heavenly Dou Zun, Feng City, which he had painstakingly built up over half his life, became the property of the Xiao Clan, and its name was changed to Yan City.

The distance between Yan City and Jia Nan Academy was not far, and Xiao Yan arrived in Yan City quickly.

Queen Medusa was stationed in Yan City, while Hai Bodong, after breaking through to the Dou Zong, went to Black Seal City, ostensibly to form a mutually supportive relationship with Yan City.

Xiao Yan made no attempt to conceal his presence, which allowed Queen Medusa Xiao Yan detect his aura and fly out of Yan City to greet Xiao Yan.

"He's already broken through to the Dou Emperor? It's been less than a year, hasn't it?" Queen Medusa's expression was strange.

After assessing Queen Medusa's strength, Xiao Yan said, "You're not bad either, you're already Six-Star Dou Zong, and with the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, even an ordinary Seven Star Dou Zong wouldn't be your match."

"Thanks to you for giving me that Form Transformation Pill, my talent has been transformed to a human level." Queen Medusa smiled, causing Xiao Yan to turn his gaze away.

"Mulan Valley has delivered ten portions of Medicinal Herbs for Sect Breaking Pill as promised. However, do you really intend to refine Sect Breaking Pill for them? With our current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for us to annex them," Queen Medusa continued.

"How is the Jia Ma Empire doing? Have they gained a few more Dou Zong?"

"Jia Xing Tian has successfully broken through, while that Magical Beast is still in seclusion and its specific situation is unclear. Two of our Snake People Clan's four elders have also successfully broken through." Queen Medusa paused, seemingly wanting to say something, but didn't.

"My success rate is pretty high right now. Ten portions of Medicinal Herbs should be enough to refine five Sect Breaking Pills. If it fails, just have Mulan Valley wait a bit longer," Xiao Yan continued.

Queen Medusa did not respond, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yan began refining pills.

Before refining the Sect Breaking Pill, Xiao Yan first refined a few Primal Qi Augmentation Pill to familiarize himself with the Dou Emperor. The result was quite gratifying— Xiao Yan used four portions of Medicinal Herbs to refine three Primal Qi Augmentation Pills.

After roughly confirming his alchemy skills, Xiao Yan began to refine the Sect Breaking Pill.

The Sect Breaking Pill is a peak Sixth Grade Pills, and its refining difficulty is comparable to some low-grade seventh-grade Pills. If one can easily refine the Sect Breaking Pill, one will have a better chance of refining Seventh Grade Pill in the future.

When Xiao Yan used two portions of Medicinal Herbs to refine his first Sect Breaking Pill, he vaguely entered a wondrous state.

Xiao Yan's own aura became almost imperceptible, nearly dissipating, while the flames in the medicine cauldron in front of him never stopped rolling.

Xiao Yan's current state is known in the Alchemist World as the "Pill Soul Realm".

In this wondrous state, Alchemist's Soul Power is amplified almost infinitely. Although this state cannot be sustained, the Pills is guaranteed to succeed in the face of this terrifying Soul Power!

Unfortunately, this state is rare and can only be encountered by chance; whether or not one can experience it depends entirely on fate.

Xiao Yan entered this state at this moment, completing each step of the refining process smoothly, and one Sect Breaking Pill after another was successfully refined.

When Xiao Yan was awakened by a terrifying, destructive wave coming from afar, he was shocked to find that he had already refined seven Sect Breaking Pills.

"That should be enough." Xiao Yan shrugged, put away two of the pills and the remaining two portions of Medicinal Herbs, and handed the five Sect Breaking Pills to Queen Medusa, who was guarding outside.

"Does Jia Nan Academy need my help?" Queen Medusa asked.

"No need. Jia Nan Academy has a strong foundation. I'll just go and relax." After saying that, Xiao Yan flapped his Crystal Wings and quickly flew towards the Jia Nan Academy.

Half an hour ago, at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

Instead of individual cultivation rooms, this area is an open space covered with a dense array of energy seals.

In the very center of this area, there is a dark hole through which one can clearly see the dark red magma flowing below.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the energy shields throughout this entire open area were all constructed around the holes, densely sealing them in the center.

Su Qian usually spends his days either cultivating diligently outside or monitoring the Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of this tower.

Today, Su Qian was routinely monitoring the Fallen Heart Flame when he heard the sound of liquid flowing in what should have been a silent underground area.

Su Qian's expression changed drastically in an instant. He suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp beams of light shot straight at the hole in the center—the sound was coming from there.

Su Qian moved swiftly, appearing directly at the edge of the hole, staring intently downwards. However, due to the energy shield, Su Qian's vision was limited, and he couldn't detect anything unusual.

Su Qian frowned deeply. As a Dou Zong, he didn't believe that what he had just felt was his imagination.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Qian slowly reached out his hands and opened a hole about the height of a person in the energy shield, then passed through it.

After using his Dou Qi to isolate himself from the terrifyingly high temperature of the underground Lava World, Su Qian began searching for the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, looking around, there was nothing in this Underground World except for dark red lava, which made Su Qian feel somewhat anxious.

"Bang!"

A deep yet powerful voice rang out from somewhere and reached Su Qian's ears.

Just as Su Qian was filled with doubt and surprise, the voice rang out again, and the intervals became shorter and shorter: ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes...

In the end, the sound completely overlapped with Su Qian's heartbeat!

At that moment, Su Qian felt immense fear.

At that very moment, the long-suppressed Fallen Heart Flame finally erupted.

Fallen Heart Flame had long wanted to break through this damned Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, but recently there had been an extremely terrifying aura that could suppress it, which kept Fallen Heart Flame from making any rash moves.

The aura had disappeared in the past few days, Fallen Heart Flame, with no more restraint, swept up countless dark red magma with its scorching temperature and violent energy, rushing upwards along the deep hole!

Su Qian withdrew from the energy shield with lightning speed, and suddenly formed several hand seals. At the opening of the hole, energy surged suddenly, and finally formed a colorful energy shield, firmly sealing the opening.

At the same time, a loud shout came from Su Qian's mouth, and finally resounded throughout the sky above the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower and even the entire Inner Courtyard:

"All elders, immediately proceed to the tower! All students, stay within 100 meters of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower!"

This energy shield was naturally a backup plan left by the Dean. Any elder could activate it at a critical moment to prevent the Fallen Heart Flame from breaking the seal.

However, this time the Fallen Heart Flame seemed to have taken a shot of gunpowder, with energy fluctuations several times stronger than before. It instantly broke through the colorful energy shield, and went straight up the hole to the top of the tower!
