With a hum, a black flame suddenly appeared before Xiao Yan, blocking the backlash from the pill fusion.

Nihility Devouring Flame's true body! Nihility Devouring Flame had not been refined by Xiao Yan; the Fused Heavely Flame used Mao Wu of the Heaven Sub-Flame as a substitute.

Not a single mistake could be made in either the quantities or sequence of every ingredient. Even an error of one-tenth of a second was unacceptable! Each medicinal ingredient fused into the Emperor Grade Pill Embryo in sequence without the slightest deviation, with the properties of every ingredient perfectly integrated before and after, like nanoscopic puzzle pieces slowly and minutely assembling the entire pill! Fusing one ingredient took one second. Ten million ingredients required 115 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds.

Xiao Yan's Cultivation Level had even risen from the middle stage of Eight Star Dou Saint to the late stage of Eight Star Dou Saint!

The entire Dou Qi Continent had even fallen into a state where natural energy was sparse! Refining a Mysterious Pill
