Yin Yang Water-Fire Lotus

Boom! With a deafening roar, the Human-Faced Snake was blasted towards the ground by Xiao Yuan's spear. After using his secret technique, Xiao Yuan's strength was now almost on par with the Human-Faced Snake! The five Qi Mansion all possessed the quality and quantity of High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method Dou Qi, which greatly amplified Xiao Yuan's strength to a terrifying degree.

Although this Human-Faced Snake was incredibly powerful, the cultivation technique it practiced was clearly far inferior to Xiao Yuan's.

With the speed of the two sides shifting, Xiao Yuan, who was faster, gained an advantage with his terrifying explosive power of the Heavenly Flames and his all-out attack! But Xiao Yuan was not complacent. Instead, he immediately flapped his wings on his back and lightning flashed under his feet. He appeared on the side of the Human-Faced Snake like a shadow, holding the spear in one hand. With a twist of his waist, the Heavenly Flames spear pierced through.

At the same time, under the impetus of his Dou Qi qi, Heavenly Flames surged wildly from his palm, condensing into a vortex of flames in his fist as Xiao Yuan clenched his fist! Azure Wind Whirlwind Fist - Modified, Dual Flames Whirlwind Fist!

At this moment, Xiao Yuan's spear and fist rushed out simultaneously, and the vortex of flames on his fist struck first, exploding in front of the defense hastily constructed by the Human-Faced Snake.

The Heavenly Flames spear followed closely behind, emerging from the center of the exploding flame vortex, carrying Xiao Yuan's terrifying physical strength and powerful Dou Qi, and creating a sky full of black and white spear flowers in front of the Human-Faced Snake.

Around the gun flower, black and white flames scattered and dotted the scene, making it look as if, before dying, one saw flowers on the other side of the Yellow Springs in a daze.

Sensing the deathly aura emanating from Xiao Yuan's attack, a look of horror appeared in the Human-Faced Snake's vertical pupils.

How could someone who has just entered the Dou Wang realm unleash such a terrifying attack?

Moreover, this guy actually possesses Heavenly Flames!

Damn it!

Seeing that Xiao Yuan's attack was about to severely injure him, the Human-Faced Snake immediately moved his hands quickly, forming a strange hand seal. Then, a pattern that was exactly the same as the strange pattern in the Mountain Cave appeared on his body, like a tattoo.

With its sudden appearance, Xiao Yuan also felt a surge of energy emanating from the patterns on the Human-Faced Snake's body, which completely blocked the energy that Xiao Yuan had just unleashed.

Then, the energy spread out, passed through Xiao Yuan's body, and directly passed through him. It seemed to cause no harm, but in reality, Xiao Yuan was stunned and stood there!

It's soul power! Standing frozen in place, Xiao Yuan's heart sank. The patterns on the Human-Faced Snake seemed to be a medium for storing soul power, and this soul power definitely didn't belong to the Human-Faced Snake. On the contrary, it was quite pure, so pure that Xiao Yuan's soul was somewhat intoxicated by it, causing him to lose his senses! Could it be that the treasure in this Mountain Cave is actually related to soul power? If so, wouldn't obtaining it and giving it to his teacher help him regain some of his strength? Xiao Yuan suddenly realized, and then he was overjoyed.

If that's really the case, then life will be incredibly easy from now on. Dou Zun- level backer—in the entire Jia Ma Empire, Jia Nan Academy, and Black-Corner Region —is practically an absolute powerhouse! If Han Feng dares to come, he'll have nowhere to run! Even if it's someone from the Soul Hall, they'll be killed one by one! A mere Protector, only at the Dou Zong level, is nothing but an ant in front of Dou Zun expert!

Boom! Just as Xiao Yuan's thoughts were drifting further and further away, the Five-Colored Scroll in his soul sea trembled slightly, devouring the invading soul power and emitting a wave that made Xiao Yuan open his eyes! When Xiao Yuan came back to his senses, he saw that the Human-Faced Snake, which was originally full of ferocity and cruelty, showed a look of astonishment.

Immediately, he unleashed another soul attack, attempting to control Xiao Yuan. However, this time, the Five-Colored Scroll accepted it without hesitation, immediately devouring the soul power. Xiao Yuan, on the other hand, clasped his hands together, and the spear in his hand exploded! The next moment, accompanied by the almost muscle memory-like pre-cast animation, a giant fire dragon composed entirely of black and white burst forth from the exploding flames. A dragon aura mixed within it made the fire dragon even more lifelike, as if it were a real dragon.

The roar of the dragon resounded through the heavens and earth, drowning out another faint sound. Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi surged out continuously, and the giant fire dragon charged straight out. With each opening and closing of its mouth, flames rose and splashed, directly biting the Human-Faced Snake, and soaring into the sky.

In the void above, a petite figure had been waiting for a long time, the purple energy in her hand had accumulated to the point that it had become keratinous, like a purple crystal layer.

"Take this punch!"

Zi Yan's slightly childish voice was filled with intense killing intent. Her round, dark eyes were brimming with purple energy. With a single punch, even the space around her trembled violently. Anyone could see that she had given it her all! Normally, the Human-Faced Snake wouldn't be afraid of Zi Yan's punch, but now, while being controlled by Xiao Yuan's Dual Flames Dragon Flight and being scorched by the terrifying heat of the Heavenly Flames, its once invincible trump card was easily neutralized by Xiao Yuan. Now, it had no one to rely on! Boom! As Zi Yan's punch landed, Xiao Yuan's figure flashed like lightning, taking Zi Yan with him. Then, the Heavenly Flames dragon exploded like a nuclear explosion, emitting a dazzling light.

In the distance, Xiao Yuan released Zi Yan's slender waist and stared intently at the epicenter of the explosion.

Using Heavenly Flames to Mystic Ice Dragon Flight is powerful enough to rival Earth Rank Dou Techniques! In battles between Dou Wang, Earth Rank Dou Techniques are enough to determine the winner.

However, that Human-Faced Snake was really strange, and it was hard to say whether the attack just now was enough to kill it!

At that moment, Xiao Yuan frowned, and it suddenly started raining in his soul sea!

The source of the rain was the Five-Colored Scroll! What amazed Xiao Yuan even more was that each raindrop was actually soul power!

Did it refine and absorb the soul power it had previously absorbed, and then feed some of it back to it?

Feeling the obvious increase in soul power, Xiao Yuan suddenly realized something. Then, his soul perception surged out quickly, bringing everything around him into his monitoring range!

Hmm? Immediately afterward, Xiao Yuan's eyes narrowed! He really wasn't dead!

Dense Azure Lightning surged from beneath Xiao Yuan's feet. The next moment, Xiao Yuan appeared at the entrance of the Mountain Cave. With a grab of his hand, his soul power surged forth, directly transforming into an invisible net that imprisoned the soul of the Human-Faced Snake that was trying to escape into the Mountain Cave.

However, after Xiao Yuan captured the Human-Faced Snake's soul, he discovered that the creature's soul actually didn't have a human face or claws; it was just a normal snake!

"Damn humans, let me go!"

The Human-Faced Snake's soul struggled, hissing warnings, but it could not speak. However, its intentions were still perceived by Xiao Yuan through its soul power.

"Let you go? On what grounds?"

Xiao Yuan sneered, then flames surged from his hand, directly torturing the Human-Faced Snake's soul! Zi Yan then landed beside Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan, curiously glancing at the not-so-pretty little snake in his hand, and pursed her lips!

Although it looks better than before, it's still ugly! "Let's wait a bit before going in, Zi Yan."

After casually sealing the Human-Faced Snake's soul in a jade bottle with Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yuan's aura finally dropped to that of One-Star Dou Wang. His face also paled a bit. He skillfully stuffed a bunch of healing and Essence Nurturing pills into his mouth, then sat down at the Mountain Cave. While recovering, he spoke to Zi Yan Xiao Yuan.

Zi Yan showed no displeasure upon hearing this. She obediently nodded and stood guard to protect Xiao Yuan.

After the battle just now, Xiao Yuan's fighting prowess had impressed her.

Not to mention, Xiao Yuan can also make delicious pills for her!

After a period of rest, as dusk fell, Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his dark pupils.

"You're finally awake? Come on, let's go inside!"

When Zi Yan saw that Xiao Yuan had finally recovered to his best condition, she couldn't wait to say something.

"Look, he's in a hurry again!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, but still let Zi Yan pull him into the Mountain Cave.

This time, although the two were still more careful, they moved much faster than before. After a while, the view in front of them finally opened up.

But the strange sight before them took them all by surprise.

What comes into view is a wide-open area inside the mountain, where the water and fire patterns narrow, become thinner, and become denser.

Around those patterns, there was a rich energy of heaven and earth, with fire in the water and water in the fire.

As the water vapor rises, the surrounding environment becomes shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.

In the very center, a lotus flower was spinning rapidly, its surface shimmering with light. Upon closer inspection, the outer petals of this lotus were white with black patterns, while the inner petals were black with white patterns. At the very center of the lotus seat was a translucent bead radiating a rich spiritual power.

Xiao Yuan stared at the strange lotus flower, his heart pounding wildly.

Although he didn't recognize the thing, the surging Yin Yang Dual Flames within him told him that this lotus was definitely of great use to him! "It doesn't look like it has much energy. I thought it was something valuable!"

Zi Yan was somewhat disappointed. Although the lotus flower did not appear to be an ordinary object, the amount of heaven and earth energy contained within it was less than that gathered by the water and fire patterns around it! "Zi Yan, give this to me. I have a great use for it."

Xiao Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Zi Yan and turned to ask directly.

"Okay, then you'll accompany me to a few more places. I'm certain those places contain Medicinal Herbs. Whether you need them or not, you have to refine them into pills for me!"

Zi Yan thought for a moment and then said seriously.

"No problem!"

Xiao Yuan was slightly taken aback by Zi Yan's quick agreement, then smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, even if you leave the magical beast guarding the Medicinal Herbs to me, it's no problem!"

"You said it yourself!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. In this way, all she had to do was lead the way, and she would get delicious pills!

"Hehe, I said it!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and then walked towards the strange lotus flower.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan did not forget to be vigilant about his surroundings. His Dou Qi surged within him, ready to deal with any unexpected situations, and he slowly walked to the lotus flower.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yuan reached out and tried to touch the lotus flower.

With a whoosh, the surrounding patterns began to flash violently, and the accumulated water and fire elemental energies surged toward Xiao Yuan!

"Xiao Yuan, watch out!"

Seeing this, Zi Yan quickly reminded her.

Looking at the surging energy around him, Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth, and then, under his urging, the Yin Yang Dual Flames surged out rapidly, covering his body.

Whoosh! At this moment, the strange lotus flower also began to shimmer. The originally raging Fire Energy actually passed directly through the Yin Yang Dual Flames. After being tempered, it transformed into pure energy and surged into Xiao Yuan's Qi Mansion!

The strange lotus flower flew up and spun in front of Xiao Yuan before finally disappearing into his Xiao Yuan abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan sensed a strange energy spreading from his lower abdomen and flowing to his limbs and bones.

The Yin Yang Dual Flames were also drawn out, enveloping the lotus flower within them. The round bead inside the lotus floated upwards, passing through Xiao Yuan's body and entering his soul sea between his brows.

Immediately, Xiao Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in his soul.

In her lower abdomen, the strange lotus flower slowly melted into a ball formed by black water and white fire connected end to end within the Yin Yang Dual Flames, and the unique fluctuations of the Yin-Yang energy became increasingly obvious.

Whoosh! Just as Xiao Yuan's attention was drawn to the fluctuations in his lower abdomen, a piece of information also surfaced in his mind! The Yin Yang Water-Fire Lotus is formed by the Yin and Yang energies using the Water-Fire Power. It has the characteristics of water and fire complementing each other and Yin and Yang harmonizing. It can nourish the power of the soul. If a powerful person falls by his side, there is a certain probability that his remaining soul power will be attracted to form the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pearl.

The Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pearl, when blessed by Yin Yang Two Qi, can nourish the soul and assist in the slow growth of soul power.

In addition, the Yin-Yang Soul Nourishing Pearl can store soul power, which helps to restore the Origin Soul Qi.

So, these beads are the real treasure!

Xiao Yuan came to his senses and looked at the round bead in his soul sea that was emitting a warm and comfortable feeling, which felt like a dream.

However, the strange phenomenon in his lower abdomen quickly made Xiao Yuan forget all his thoughts of sighing.

The Yin Yang Dual Flames had already refined and absorbed the Yin Yang Two Qi within the Yin Yang Water-Fire Lotus, but the Water-Fire Form remained lingering in Xiao Yuan's lower abdomen. The Yin Yang Dual Flames seemed unwilling to refine them further! (Next chapter's time is uncertain. Go to bed early, don't stay up late. I was trying to adjust my sleep schedule, but I almost slept through lunch and didn't wake up. Now I'm full of energy again.)
