The Old Dog Heavenly Serpent, Take a Greater Luo Fire Talisman!

"Boy, if you use that puppet to restrain me, I might be somewhat wary, but with your strength as a Four-Star Dou Zong, thinking you can deal with me is just wishful thinking!"

A sinister glint flashed in the Tian She's eyes as he grinned maliciously.

"Heh, knowing those puppets were mine, I never imagined that if I could turn them into puppets, I could turn you into one too?"

Xiao Yuan scoffed at this, he was speechless at this old geezer with his rotten brain.

"Hmph, I am not alone!" Heavenly Serpent Elder sneered upon hearing this, then looked at the void not far away and said indifferently, "Come out and see if this boy is the person you are looking for!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick black mist suddenly swept in from afar and appeared in the sky, accompanied by a sinister laugh.

"Heh heh, this person does indeed have remnants of someone else's soul power on him. It seems highly likely. In any case, we'll find out by capturing him and questioning him!"

"Scum from the Soul Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression turned much colder. He then unleashed a palm strike, sending a fierce gust of wind directly towards the eerie black mist.

"The momentum is good, but the actual strength is a bit weak."

As a sinister laugh echoed from within the black mist, a clanging sound of metal rang out. Immediately afterward, a black chain, swirling with eerie black mist, extended out from the mist like a venomous snake, coiling around it. The tip of the chain gleamed with a chilling light.

Xiao Yuan's casual strike failed to break through his chain defense.

"A mere Eight Star Dou Zong, is that all the confidence you have, you old dog Tian She?"

Xiao Yuan was afraid that he hadn't drawn enough hatred, so he immediately mocked.

"Hmph, I'll see today if your methods are as tough as your words!"

Heavenly Serpent Elder She was furious when Xiao Yuan called him an old dog in front of everyone, and a powerful aura emerged from him.

On the other side, in response to Xiao Yuan's words, the Hall of Souls Protector gave a sinister smile. Black mist surged, and the pitch-black chains wrapped around him trembled suddenly, then transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight towards Xiao Yuan!

Xiao Yuan's eyes remained unmoved. He took a light step to the side, and a black lightning bolt shot out directly from the space, then flew past his shoulder.

Seeing Xiao Yuan dodge his attack, the Hall of Souls Protector was slightly startled. He then let out a cold laugh, his ten fingers forming afterimages. Then, with a series of hissing sounds, nearly ten black chains burst out from his body, rapidly coiling in mid-air and directly condensing into an extremely large black chain spear!

"Go!"

With a soft shout, the massive black chain spear, shrouded in a thick, eerie black mist, shot out like lightning and vanished in an instant! As the black chain spear disappeared, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, and then dark golden flames condensed in his palm, transforming into a flaming spear, which he then threw.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar resounded, and a vast energy ripple spread out in a ring. Meanwhile, cyan lightning flashed beneath Xiao Yuan's feet as he retreated rapidly!

"A mere Four-Star Dou Zong dares to clash head-on with this protector? He's truly courting death!"

The Hall of Souls Protector grinned sinisterly, black light flashing on his fingers, before he suddenly pointed at the void! "Split!"

Hiss!

As soon as the Hall of Souls Protector finished speaking, a violent sound of wind breaking suddenly came from within the rapidly spreading energy ripples. Immediately, ten black shadows shot out like black lightning, their target aimed directly at Xiao Yuan's vital points!

As for Heavenly Serpent Elder, he couldn't see any other tricks Xiao Yuan might have up his sleeve.

But he didn't notice at all that neither Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, nor Xiao Yan, who was fighting Tian Shuangzi in the sky, showed any concern about this.

Clearly, none of the four were worried about Xiao Yuan's safety.

On the contrary, Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan at the Ye family manor below were quite worried about Xiao Yuan's situation.

"Warm-up is over."

As Xiao Yuan watched the rapidly approaching black shadows, a hint of arrogant domineering aura appeared on his face. He then formed hand seals with lightning speed.

"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, First Transformation!"

As the hand seals were formed, a black and white flame suddenly erupted from Xiao Yuan's body, then quickly receded! At the same time as the flames receded, Xiao Yuan's aura surged dramatically in an instant! "Secret technique? A mere trifle!"

The Hall of Souls Protector merely smiled coldly at Xiao Yuan's surging aura, completely disregarding it.

"This is... the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley?"

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan like this, the Tian She's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected that this guy would also know the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley!

"Protector Wu, you'd better be careful. This Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is the top secret technique of Burning Flame Valley. I don't know how it ended up in this kid's hands. If this secret technique is used to the third transformation, one can at least reach a strength close to three stars. However, even in Burning Flame Valley, there are only a handful of people who can use this secret technique to the third transformation."

"Heh heh, only three stars, not enough for this brat to escape my grasp."

Upon hearing Tian She's words, Protector Wu sneered.

Xiao Yuan ignored the two dead men. He changed his hand seals again, and a burst of cyan flames erupted from his body!

"Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, Second Transformation!"

With the eruption of the azure flames, Xiao Yuan's aura continued to surge. This time, even Tian She and Protector Wu's expressions changed slightly, because Xiao Yuan's aura had now surged to the seven-star level! "This kid actually possesses two kinds of Heavenly Flames. No wonder he gets such a terrifying boost when using the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations!"

The Tian She's expression darkened slightly. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, a combination of two Heavenly Flames, was something even Tang Zhen of the Burning Flame Valley did not possess!

"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant; it turns out he had some trump cards up his sleeve."

Protector Wu said grimly, but as he spoke, he gradually felt a little uneasy. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations has three transformations. After Xiao Yuan performed two transformations, he reached the seven-star level. If he performed it again, wouldn't he at least reach the eight-star level?

"It is said that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley generates extremely violent energy with each transformation. Even some of their elders dare not easily unleash the third transformation. With this kid's abilities, he probably hasn't reached that level yet."

After reassuring himself, Protector Wu felt slightly relieved. However, as soon as he looked up, he saw Xiao Yuan's hand seals change again, and his face instantly froze.

Xiao Yuan stared at Protector Wu, whose black mist was rapidly fluctuating around him, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. The sinister smile on his face slowly widened. At the same time, a dazzling crimson-gold flame suddenly burst out from his body amidst countless stunned gazes!

"Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, Third Transformation!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of many, crimson-gold flames erupted from Xiao Yuan's body, only to be released and then withdrawn in an instant, flashing back into Xiao Yuan's body like lightning!

As the flames surged back, an exceptionally powerful aura, as if awakening, slowly erupted from Xiao Yuan's body. The surrounding space became turbulent under this immense power.

Xiao Yuan stood in the sky, his face slightly flushed. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was truly worthy of being a top-level secret technique created by his ancestor!

Even with his current physical body, which is capable of withstanding the power of Dou Zun, he felt sore all over, but the effect was extremely terrifying.

The first two transformations were just a single Heavenly Flames, yet they raised his strength from Four-Star Dou Zong to a seven-star Dou Zong.

As for this third transformation, it was the flame resulting from the fusion of Shao Yang Prime Fire and Shao Yin Sovereign Fire, which directly boosted his strength to the Nine-Star Dou Zong! As for Protector Wu's attack, it had already been reduced to nothingness by the three bursts of the Heavenly Flames.

"Nine Stars. Dou Zong!"

Heavenly Serpent Elder and Protector Wu now looked at Xiao Yuan with a hint of apprehension.

Xiao Yuan's change also caught the attention of Xiao Yan and Tian Shuangzi, who were not far away. They glanced at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

He knew all too well what kind of monster his Third Brother was.

He only used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to unleash his power to the level of Nine-Star Dou Zong. If he were to use that miraculous Qi Gathering Palaces Imbue Secret Method, he would probably be able to break through that barrier and reach the level of Dou Zun expert!

In this way, the situation today can be considered resolved!

After glancing at him, Tian Shuangzi frowned slightly, but didn't take it too seriously. No matter how powerful Xiao Yuan's secret technique was, as long as he hadn't broken through to the Dou Zun, he wasn't a big threat in his eyes. The only one he could take seriously here was Xiao Yuan, who had somehow raised his strength to the Dou Zun level.

As for Xiao Yuan, even if Protector Wu couldn't deal with him, Tian She and some elders from Ice River Valley would naturally join forces to deal with him. He really didn't believe that a mere Four-Star Dou Zong, even with the secret techniques of Burning Flame Valley, could really defy the heavens. "Ready, are you ready to die?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Heavenly Serpent Elder and Protector Wu, and said with a chilling smile.

The stagnant black mist began to slowly surge again, revealing a face filled with gloom. Protector Wu stared at Xiao Yuan with a sinister gaze and said, "How dare you speak so arrogantly! This secret technique can indeed enhance your strength considerably, but it always has a time limit. Once the time limit of the secret technique is reached, you will be nothing but a piece of trash!"

"Indeed, with the two of us joining forces, killing you would be as easy as turning one's hand!"

Heavenly Serpent Elder had to take Xiao Yuan seriously at this moment, but he didn't easily admit defeat and still sneered.

"You know nothing about my strength!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head, then transformed into a white shadow and attacked Heavenly Serpent Elder and Protector Wu.

The two of them only felt a blur before their eyes, and Xiao Yuan had already disappeared. Almost at the same time, two scorching gusts of wind appeared behind them. Before they could react, their figures were already flying out like cannonballs.

Wow, that's fast!

The Dou Qi within their bodies surged, preventing them from retaliating in time, and they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Previously, Xiao Yuan's strength was far inferior to theirs, so they didn't think Xiao Yuan was that strong.

However, with the unleashing of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, Xiao Yuan's speed and power were terrifying, injuring them with a single strike! But Xiao Yuan wouldn't give them a chance to think. As his Dou Qi qi surged, his figure flashed out like lightning, and while activating his Demon Lightning Body, he launched a fierce attack on the two of them like a storm.

The two were suffering terribly from Xiao Yuan's suppression. They couldn't understand why, even though their strengths were similar, both being eight or nine-star Dou Zong, the difference in their abilities was so huge! Especially Heavenly Serpent Elder She, whose proud Ice Venerable Strength was like snow under the blazing sun in the hands of Xiao Yuan, who possessed Heavenly Flames, and was instantly melted away!

This is absolutely terrifying.

A moment later, two muffled sounds rang out in the sky. Both Protector Wu and Heavenly Serpent Elder She couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, their bodies flying backward, their auras weakened considerably.

In mid-air, Protector Wu steadied himself, momentarily enraged, and roared, "I refuse to believe that you, a mere junior, can turn the world upside down!"

As the roar subsided, Protector Wu's hand seals abruptly changed. A series of clattering sounds rang out, and countless jet-black chains shot out from the black mist, resembling a giant black spider web from afar. Protector Wu stood at the center of this massive spider web, like a celestial demon! A deep shout echoed from within the black mist, followed by a continuous stream of black shadows emitting shrill screams. These shadows immediately clung to the scattered black chains, and as they adhered, the chains, like gaping maws, devoured them, instantly enveloped in an eerie black light.

"Hundred Souls Locking Sky Python!"

After devouring the shadow, the black chains became even more eerie. Suddenly, a chilling shout rang out, and the black chains that stretched to the heavens and earth were instantly entwined with crackling lightning. In just an instant, they transformed into a huge black python that looked like a living creature.

The black python was made up of numerous chains, giving it an eerie metallic appearance. Surrounded by black mist, it exuded a terrifying and chilling aura, like a serpent from the abyss, inspiring awe and fear.

"Go!"

The black mist churned, and a chilling voice rang out. The enormous black python, its massive eyes flashing with a tangible black energy, lashed out with its tail, tearing through space and hurtling towards Xiao Yuan with lightning speed! "You dare to be so presumptuous before me with such petty tricks!"

Xiao Yuan sneered, and then his figure slowly rose. At this moment, a brilliant red light, like flames, surged continuously from his body. Later, his black hair gradually turned into a fiery red color, and the Fire Attribute Energy in the world also erupted, turning the surrounding snowflakes into nothingness.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan, from a distance, looked like the God of Fire descending. His terrifying aura caused some people in Ye City below to widen their eyes and hold their breath.

"The Taiyi Fire Luo Palm of Burning Flame Valley!?"

Looking at the Dou Technique that Xiao Yuan was using, Heavenly Serpent Elder muttered to himself with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Such Dou Technique are basically only practiced by some elders of the Burning Flame Valley. They are definitely one of the Burning Flame Valley's most treasured Dou Technique. This young man is actually a disciple of the Burning Flame Valley? But he had never heard of such a powerful disciple among the younger generation of the Burning Flame Valley.

Xiao Yuan 'Xiao Yuan palm was now enveloped in a blinding red light. The next moment, with a slight tremor in his palm, a dark golden Heavenly Flames swept out, enveloping his crimson hand. With a single slap, he shattered the enormous black python! And the countless broken chains vanished into nothingness amidst a series of shrill screams.

The Nether Soul Python, which Protector Wu had painstakingly conjured, was utterly destroyed by Xiao Yuan's single slap! Even Protector Wu Xiao Yuan was incredulous as he stared blankly at the fiery Nether Soul Python soaring into the sky. Before he could even exhale, his pupils suddenly contracted! A sharp pain shot through his chest as azure lightning enveloped his entire body, with glimpses of dazzling Orange-Red Flame rising within it.

Protector Wu looked down at the pale hand that had ripped out his heart, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes. He glanced at the figure in the sky, then turned his head, wanting to see who had killed him.

But he only turned his head halfway before the lightning and fire enveloping his entire body erupted completely, turning him into nothingness.

"Those are... the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!?"

Heavenly Serpent Elder She was completely dumbfounded. Just what kind of monster was Xiao Yuan? How could he unleash such a high-level Dou Technique while simultaneously managing to use the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body?

But Xiao Yuan didn't care what Heavenly Serpent Elder was thinking. At this moment, a bright red light burst forth from his palm, and a mysterious fiery red rune was faintly visible in his palm. The dazzling light caused many people around to quickly close their eyes.

Taiyi Fire Luo Palm, Fire Luo Covers Heaven and Earth! In the next moment, Xiao Yuan's aura surged, and his hands expanded like lightning. In just one breath, they expanded to a width of more than ten feet, looking like a small sun from afar.

The Heavenly Flames rune in his palm expanded, and the violent energy it contained became increasingly concentrated!

At this moment, Xiao Yuan also burst into laughter. "Tian She Old Dog, take this Greater Luo Fire Talisman!"

As the roar subsided, the Heavenly Flames rune in his palm suddenly shone brightly. Then, with a tremor, the rune detached from Xiao Yuan's palm and transformed into an astonishing rainbow light, carrying terrifying energy that even caused space to tremble, and swept down like lightning!

"The strongest Fire Luo Talisman in Taiyi Fire Luo Palm?"

Seeing Xiao Yuan unleash the Greater Luo Fire Talisman, Heavenly Serpent Elder's old face twitched violently. He cursed inwardly at the boy's monstrous strength, for cultivating such a powerful Dou Technique to such a profound level, while shamelessly shouting aloud:

"Bing Xuan, Bing Hua, this kid is quite strange. You two follow me and capture him as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders from Ice River Valley were both taken aback, and then asked hesitantly, "Elder Snake, with so many people watching, is it inappropriate for the three of us to deal with a junior?"

"Junior?" Upon hearing this, Tian She sneered and looked at the two of them, saying, "Even if the two of you join forces to deal with this kid, he's likely to be in grave danger. How dare you call him a junior?"

Bing Xuan and Bing Hua were stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed. Their strength had just reached the level of Seven Star Greater Luo Fire Talisman Dou Zong, which was much weaker than that of Protector Wu. They had already seen the tragic end of Protector Wu and knew that Heavenly Serpent Elder's words were true. Not to mention anything else, even if the three of them worked together, they would not be able to withstand the Taiyi Fire Luo Talisman!

They exchanged a glance, and Bing Xuan and the other nodded through gritted teeth. Then, they moved and formed a triangle with the Tian She, clearly preparing to join forces to deal with Xiao Yuan.

Looking at this scene in the sky, a few uproars immediately arose in Ye City below. The Ice River Valley was actually going to send three elders to join forces against that unfamiliar young man.

"Form the Ice River Formation for me. This kid's explosive power is indeed strong, but it certainly won't last long. Once his Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations time is over, he will inevitably fall into weakness. At that time, capturing and killing him will be a piece of cake."

Hearing Tian She's rebuke, Bing Xuan and Bing Hua blushed, then nodded repeatedly. The two shifted their feet, stepping into the formation, and a chilling aura continuously surged from their bodies! Tian She stared at Xiao Yuan in the distance with a gloomy expression, stomping heavily on the void with his snake-shaped staff. A vast amount of icy aura also surged from his body, then merged with the aura of the other two, solidifying directly into a pure white Ice Mirror, firmly protecting the three of them within.

This snow-white, Ice Mirror was entirely formed from the immense Dou Qi qi of the three individuals, possessing terrifying defensive power. Even a Peak Dou Zong expert would likely find it difficult to break through it even with full force.

As the Ice Mirror condensed, Xiao Yuan's Greater Luo Fire Talisman also fell, its powerful energy pouring onto the Ice Mirror surface.

The moment the Greater Luo Fire Talisman touched the snow-white Ice Mirror, it suddenly emitted a hissing sound, and countless white frosts spread out from the Ice Mirror, frantically resisting the scorching heat and energy impact of the Greater Luo Fire Talisman.

Drops of icy liquid continuously emerged from the Ice Mirror Ice Mirror, then slid down, only to be quickly evaporated into nothingness by the dark golden flames surging around the Greater Luo Fire Talisman.

Xiao Yuan stared coldly at the mirror surface that was constantly melting and dripping with water, a sneer appearing on his lips. The domineering power of this Greater Luo Fire Talisman was definitely worthy of being the trump Dou Technique of the Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley. With the help of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, his direct strength was already stronger than that of Tian She. Even with the help of two Seven Star Dou Zong elders, it would be a waste for Tian She to try to withstand the Greater Luo Fire Talisman head-on! At this moment, the thick crystal layer on the snow-white Ice Mirror under the Greater Luo Fire Talisman was also gradually melting. The speed at which it melted made the faces of Tian She and the other two inside look much worse. Because of the elemental counteraction, the destructive power of this Greater Luo Fire Talisman was almost unleashed to its fullest extent.

"Elder Snake, this is draining our Dou Qi too much. We might not even be able to hold on before that kid's secret technique reaches its time limit!"

Bing Xuan braced his palms against the ice above his head, the cold air flowing into his arms, but even so, he could still feel an extremely violent heat slowly seeping in.

The Tian She's expression was uncertain; he had underestimated Xiao Yuan's Greater Luo Fire Talisman, which contained the power of Heavenly Flames!

"When the Ice Mirror shatters, transfer all the Ice Venerable Strength within you into my body, and I will unleash my attack to kill that brat in one blow!"

Upon hearing the chilling voice of the Tian She, Bing Xuan and the other hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile. If they didn't have the Ice Venerable Strength protecting them after the Ice Mirror shattered, they would probably suffer a severe burning pain from the flames.

The Tian She ignored their wry smiles, its eyes fixed on a space outside the Ice Mirror, where a figure could be faintly seen.
