Three Star Dou Huang

Before the flames could rage, Xiao Ming, who already had experience in devouring Heavenly Flames, covered his right palm with Red Flame, slightly opened it, and probed and retracted towards the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame in mid-air.

When he opened his palm again, a liquid-like substance, resembling blue magma, was wriggling slightly within it.

This wisp of blue magma, releasing terrifying temperatures, is naturally the Flame Seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Xiao Ming acquired this so quickly that anyone who saw it would probably say something like, "He's truly a master at this."

Looking at the Flame Seed in his palm, Xiao Ming blinked.

Although this Green Lotus Core Flame did not develop sentience, it contained far more than the Fallen Heart Flame and the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame that it had devoured, which were merely seedlings.

Its energy surpasses that of the Fallen Heart Flame combined with the Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Without developing sentience, no matter how much energy you have, it's useless; it can only be refined and absorbed by me."

A bright smile spread across Xiao Ming's handsome face. He sat back down on the futon, slowly raised the hand holding the Flame Seed, paused for a moment, and then suddenly threw it into the open mouth.

As the blue magma streak entered his mouth, Xiao Ming immediately closed his lips tightly. At the same time, his whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, and his face, which still had some color, suddenly turned deathly pale.

Suppressing the burning pain emanating from his body, Xiao Ming slowly closed his eyes, his mind gradually sinking into his body.

As Xiao Ming focused his mind on his body, a misty sensory interface appeared in his mind. At this moment, the azure magma that had entered his body earlier had broken into wisps of azure flames within his many meridians. These azure flames, containing terrifying energy, roamed haphazardly through his meridians, burning anything that stood in their way to nothingness in an instant.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming had other Heavenly Flames protecting his meridians, so there was nothing wrong with his body for the time being.

Of course, if this situation is allowed to continue, with the different Heavenly Flames colliding, his body will eventually be burned to ashes.

Xiao Ming didn't delay. With a thought, his spirit began to circulate within his body, absorbing everything it encountered—the wisps of cyan flames formed from the cyan magma.

Like the previous Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and Fallen Heart Flame, those differentiated Heavenly Flame Origin were simply unable to resist the spirit.

A dozen minutes later, the Heavenly Flame Origin within Xiao Ming's body was completely devoured.

The spirit within Xiao Ming's body also turned cyan, a sign that the essence of the Green Lotus Core Flame had not been digested.

With a thought, the spirit returned to the place it had been staying, and Xiao Ming began to circulate his Cultivation Method to help the spirit refine the Heavenly Flames.

After a long time, the spirit within Xiao Ming's body returned to its pure white color.

With a slight tremor, pure Dou Qi slowly flowed out and gathered in Xiao Ming's meridians.

Xiao Ming's mind stirred, and an invisible flame suddenly appeared beside Ling without warning; this flame was none other than the Fallen Heart Flame.

After the Fallen Heart Flame appeared, all the pure Dou Qi that Ling exhaled had to be tempered by the Fallen Heart Flame before it could flow into Xiao Ming's meridians.

The pure Dou Qi, refined by the Fallen Heart Flame, drastically decreased in volume but became of higher quality. After flowing into Xiao Ming's meridians, it did not cause Xiao Ming's Dou Qi to become weak or unstable.

Time passed by in the tedious process of Xiao Ming absorbing spiritual Dou Qi and generating Dou Qi.

As time went by, Xiao Ming's aura gradually grew stronger.

Inside the secret room, a pair of eyes that had been closed for five months finally opened slowly, with a slight tremor!

His eyes opened, and lightning flashed across his dark pupils like Thunder. At that moment, even the air in the dull, dark room crackled with a faint sound.

As those eyes opened, a powerful Aura that had been dormant for a long time finally rose like a lion awakening, slowly raising its head and letting out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth through the secret chamber.

This overwhelming momentum attracted the attention of many people in Desert City.

However, because the aura was so terrifying, no one came to investigate.

However, everyone's attention was focused on the map shop where Hai Bodong was located.

Finally, under this overwhelming Aura, several times stronger than before, the entire secret chamber trembled slightly, and cracks spread out like a spider web from the futon where the boy sat cross-legged, eventually covering every corner of the dark chamber.

The appearance of these spider webs caused the secret room to tremble slightly.

It looks like it could collapse at any moment.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out from the futon where Xiao Ming was sitting cross-legged. Then, tiny cracks appeared one after another. Finally, with a deep thud, the futon exploded into powder.

The prayer cushion shattered into powder, and the floor beneath it was not spared either; the floorboards, about a foot thick, were pulverized.

The boy sitting cross-legged on it remained completely still, his legs dangling in mid-air without any external force.

"This... is this what it feels like to be Dou Emperor...?"

Xiao Ming slowly spread his hands, feeling the immense Dou Qi within his body, which surged like a torrent, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Unlike strength forcibly enhanced through Secret Technique, at this moment, a sense of grandeur, as if the world were in his grasp, welled up from his heart. Meanwhile, a powerful Soul Power, centered on his body, swept out in all directions like a storm, as fast as lightning.

A powerful Soul Power rapidly emanated from the secret chamber, spreading throughout the entire Desert City. However, it did not stop there, but continued to spread towards the desert beyond the Desert City.

As the Soul Power spread, countless scenes were reflected in Xiao Ming's mind.

The immense Soul Power spread and affected an area of hundreds of miles around. However, it seemed to have a limit. Therefore, when Xiao Ming's Soul Power reached a certain sand dune, it could no longer make any further progress.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming's mind stirred, and the Soul Power that had been spreading out instantly receded like a tidal wave, returning to his body in just a few breaths.

As his Soul Power returned to his body, Xiao Ming tilted his head back slightly, exhaled a long breath, and deeply concentrated his Soul Power.

"Sigh, even after breaking through to Three Star Dou Huang, my Soul Power hasn't increased much. This is truly..."

Before the words were finished, a snap! rang out.

With a loud noise, the secret chamber finally gave way.

Rumble! Rumble!

With a loud bang, the entire secret chamber collapsed and was buried, and dust and smoke filled the entire corridor.

Tap tap tap!

As the loud noise subsided, three figures appeared precisely in the passageway.

"Young Master! Cough cough cough." As soon as Qing Lin entered the passage, he was choked by the dust and smoke that filled the passage and couldn't help but cough.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a hurricane swept through the passage, dispersing all the smoke that filled it.

At that moment, the boy's figure appeared in Qing Lin and the others' eyes.

The young man had long, straight, jet-black hair, sharply angled eyebrows, slender, piercing black eyes, and slightly pursed lips. His features were distinct and handsome, yet he possessed a strong masculine aura. Wherever he stood, he exuded an indescribable presence. This man was Xiao Ming.

"Young Master!" Seeing that Xiao Ming was unharmed, Qing Lin smiled and hurriedly ran over.

Xiao Yi Xian and Hai Bodong followed closely behind.
