Not long after the strange runes appeared on the forehead of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Huo Xuan noticed that the Dragon Mark on his palm was also gradually becoming increasingly hot. At the same time, an extremely mysterious sensation suddenly arose in his mind...
Shortly after this mysterious sensation appeared, Huo Xuan's gaze remained fixed on the Three Thousand Burning Flame in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to be able to vaguely sense the latter's emotions.
"Roar!"
The Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had momentarily stunned by the appearance of the runes, regained its senses. At this moment, it seemed to understand something; a cold, fierce light suddenly shot from its eyes as it stared intently at the Huo Xuan before it, while the rune on its forehead grew increasingly bright...
Facing the fierce gaze of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, Huo Xuan knew that the most dangerous moment was when the Dragon Mark, as described in the original work, was relative. If he could not control the Three Thousand Burning Flame, then he would be controlled by it. Huo Xuan would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Come on, let's see just how fierce you can get!"
He was not afraid of the ninth, the Three Thousand Burning Flame. He had already devoured seven Strange Fire. How could he not be able to do anything to the Three Thousand Burning Flame today?
In the Void Space, a bizarre scene unfolded. Huo Xuan and the Three Thousand Burning Flame fell into an eerie silence, their bodies suspended in mid-air. If it weren't for the faint traces of life emanating from both of them, one might have thought they had suddenly lost their vitality.
They are currently engaged in Soul Battle.
Soul Battle are generally only possible when Soul Power reaches a certain level. However, such battles are extremely fierce, and a single misstep can cause irreparable damage to the soul, and may even lead to a gradual weakening of the Soul Power. Therefore, even those with truly Soul Power dare not easily engage in Soul Battle with others.
This is a Void Space filled with purplish-black flames, which is not much different from the Star Region. However, the only difference is that this place is not only as silent as the outside world, but it is also often filled with angry roars and the sound of fire exploding.
Looking in the direction from which the explosion came, one could see a seven-colored flame extending outwards not far away. Upon closer inspection, the flame was emanating from within a fire shield.
The situation was just like before. Huo Xuan sat cross-legged inside the fire shield, while outside the fire shield, the Three Thousand Burning Flame were bombarding him desperately. However, no matter how hard the purple-black fire dragon outside bombarded him, Huo Xuan remained unfazed.
"Bang! Bang!"
Huge pillars of Purple Black Flame crashed violently against the seven-colored fire shield, causing ripples to spread across it, but they were unable to completely destroy it.
"You despicable human, if you've got the guts, don't use that trick! Do you dare come out and fight me to the death?"
Unable to break through the fire shield's defenses for a long time, and with the terrifying temperature around them seemingly having no effect on Huo Xuan at all, the Three Thousand Burning Flame couldn't help but become more irritable.
For some reason, as time passed, it could vaguely sense that its power was gradually weakening. What horrified it most was that the power of the human inside the fire shield was actually increasing at an extremely slow rate. It could feel that the power within its body was being transferred to that human in a strange way.
This transformation, though extremely slow, is undeniably real. As this ebb and flow continues in the shadows, it will have no chance of winning, and at that time, it will understand... that human's counterattack will begin.
"Alright, Three Thousand Burning Flame, you'd better shut up. If you're so capable, break through my fire shield. Once you break through, I'll fight you to the death," Huo Xuan said lazily.
Huo Xuan gradually became aware of the reason why the Three Thousand Burning Flame had become so violent. The power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame would gradually merge into his body over time. This strange phenomenon should be related to the Dragon Mark.
Qing Shan is a Two-Star Dou Sheng, and he can be considered a strongman in the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. The Dragon Mark he planted is definitely more advanced than the Dragon Mark of the Three Thousand Burning Flame in every aspect. This may be the final factor that caused the power difference between him and the Three Thousand Burning Flame to be one increase and the other decrease.
Now all he has to do is wait quietly, waiting for most of the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame to flow into his body. When the Three Thousand Burning Flame become weaker, he will surely be able to subdue it in one fell swoop!
Huo Xuan must not be reckless in this matter, otherwise he will not only lose the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but will also be controlled by the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
The thought of being controlled by the Three Thousand Burning Flame after defeat sent a chill down Huo Xuan's spine. No matter what, he absolutely couldn't lose...
Time slipped away swiftly like sand through his fingers. In the void, all he could do was concentrate and wait patiently in the space filled with Purple Black Flame.
This tedious and patient waiting finally came to an end one day.
The surrounding purplish-black sea of fire dissipated, leaving only the Three Thousand Burning Flame and Huo Xuan facing off in this soul space. However, at this moment Three Thousand Burning Flame's eyes were filled with utter panic, and their massive bodies retreated continuously.
"You lost..."
Looking at the Three Thousand Burning Flame that showed signs of panic and began to retreat, Huo Xuan smiled slightly, raised his palm, and golden light shone brightly in his palm. The golden light wrapped around the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and amidst angry roars and struggles, the Three Thousand Burning Flame swept towards the Dragon Mark in Huo Xuan's palm like lightning.
As it got closer to the Dragon Mark, the massive body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a purplish-black flame that was absorbed by the golden light into the Dragon Mark in Huo Xuan's palm.
"We finally succeeded..."
Huo Xuan raised his head, looked around the surrounding soul space, and then said calmly.
"Break it!"
The surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently, then with a crack, it shattered into countless tiny spatial fragments and exploded...
At the instant the soul space exploded, within the Star Region filled with Purple Black Flame, Huo Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, Huo Xuan immediately looked at the purplish-black little fire dragon opposite him. At this moment, the latter's eyes had completely lost their luster and had become slightly dull.
"You lost..."
Standing up, Huo Xuan slowly walked towards the little fire dragon in front of him, gently placing his palm on its forehead. A suction force surged out, and the dragon transformed into a ball of extremely deep Purple Black Flame, slowly floating upwards.
The Purple Black Flame in his palm is the Source Flame of the Three Thousand Burning Flame!
