"How is this possible?"
At the sight of this, Little Doll's expression changed abruptly. He had never imagined that, despite giving it everything he had, this Human Race cultivator could so effortlessly neutralize his methods. This level of strength far exceeded his expectations.
"Get over here!"
Before Little Doll could react, the enormous palm had already descended, closing around him with the force of a vast canopy. As it drew near, the surrounding space was completely sealed off, forming a cage. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape.
"No! I am an Innate Treasure! How dare you erase me!"
Little Doll shrieked sharply, and golden light surged around him once more as he tried to resist. But all of it was futile. Jiang Yan pressed down with his palm, and no matter how Little Doll struggled or how fiercely he unleashed his power, he couldn't budge it.
"Since you don't know what's good for you and insist on biting the hand that feeds you, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Jiang Yan's voice rang out as his hand clenched.
Little Doll let out a scream. Under the crushing force, he was compressed and twisted out of shape until, at last, he turned into a dazzling streak of golden light. It then contracted into a crimson-gold crystal the size of a pigeon's egg—the Blazing Sun Immortal Gold, now completely stripped of its sentience.
The crystal was pure throughout, utterly free of impurities. Its surface was etched with clear Dao patterns, and it radiated an immense force of fire.
As he held it, he felt a wild power of fire surge from his palm into his body. It was a perfect match for the Fire Dao he cultivated.
In an instant, he felt his mastery of the Fire Dao deepen.
