Meeting Yao Tianhuo, Subduing Him, the Five Wheel Fire Method
With this idea in mind, Xiao Yan took the initiative to attack without the Flame Lizard even needing to launch an attack.
With a casual punch, the Fire Lizard, whose aura was around that of Dou Wang, was instantly pierced through the chest without any resistance.
Under Xiao Yan's skillful control, most of his corpse was preserved, and the Crimson Orb inside his body remained intact.
Xiao Yan carefully collected both items, intending to use the corpse to refine the Myriad Beast Pill and the Crimson Orb to enhance his cultivation.
Xiao Yan's punch made no attempt to conceal its force, causing the magma at the Earth's core to tremble slightly.
He paused briefly, and soon sensed several figures approaching.
Xiao Yan looked ahead and immediately saw several Fire Lizard rushing towards him.
Most of these Fire Lizard possessed the aura of Dou Wang), with the strongest one reaching the initial Dou Emperor Battle Emperor) level. Similar to Yuan Yi, they would be capable of dominating a region in the outside world.
However, for Xiao Yan, there was no difference between Dou Emperor and Dou Wang.
Seeing that there were quite a few enemies, he immediately took out the Heavy Profound Ruler.
Holding the Heavy Profound Ruler in his hand, Xiao Yan slightly gathered his strength, and the surrounding fire-attribute energy immediately converged towards the Heavy Profound Ruler.
Then, he swung his sword a foot wide.
"Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!"
The slash sliced through the lava, cutting several approaching Fire Lizard in half.
These Fire Lizard didn't even get a clear look at Xiao Yan's face before they died.
Xiao Yan put away the Heavy Profound Ruler and quickly went forward to collect the Fire Lizard' corpses, half of them at a time, making sure not to leave behind the Crimson Orb.
After satisfying himself with the spoils of war, Xiao Yan signaled the Fire Python to continue leading the way.
The fire and the person continued their journey through the lava.
The Fire Lizard that Xiao Yan had just dealt with seemed to be all the guards the Fire Lizard Clan had deployed in this area; Xiao Yan did not encounter any other Fire Lizard along the way.
Guided by the Fallen Heart Flame, a circular light barrier, seemingly shrouded in white mist, appeared in his field of vision.
The color of the light shield is exactly the same as that of the Fallen Heart Flame, or rather, the light shield is formed by the flames of the Fallen Heart Flame, and it is not a Split Flame, but the real original flame.
Through the light shield, one could see a skeleton inside, and on that skeleton, a small, Heavenly Flames, about the size of a football, was slowly burning—it was another Fallen Heart Flame!
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up with joy. After absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame into his body, he stepped directly into the light barrier.
The protective shield formed by the Fallen Heart Flame is controlled by a person, and anyone who enters must be scanned.
However, when Xiao Yan entered, the Fallen Heart Flame acted as if it had turned against him, not only failing to perform any scan, but also offering no obstruction whatsoever.
Xiao Yan entered the light barrier.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan reached out and touched the nascent Fallen Heart Flame.
Just then, a voice, feigning composure, came from above the skeletons. "Young friend, you've subdued the Fallen Heart Flame."
Xiao Yan looked up and a Soul Body that looked several years older than Yao Lao came into his view.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't respond, the Soul Power coughed lightly and said, "Young friend, you're so young, yet your cultivation has already reached the Dou Zong. You must be a descendant of a major power in the Central Plains."
Xiao Yan still didn't respond.
"My name is Yao Tianhuo, and others respectfully call me Venerable Skyfire. Young friend, do you know that the Fallen Heart Flame was once my Heavenly Flames?" Yao Tianhuo said, beckoning with his finger as if to control the Fallen Heart Flame within Xiao Yan's body.
As the former owner of the Fallen Heart Flame, his Flame Control Technique were among the best in the Dou Venerate, and he was confident that he could control the Fallen Heart Flame within Xiao Yan's body.
He wanted to demonstrate some tactics in order to gain the upper hand in the ensuing conversation.
However, the Fallen Heart Flame within Xiao Yan completely ignored him and remained firmly attached to Xiao Yan body.
A smile flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He shook his head and then beckoned back with his finger.
As he flicked his finger, the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame located above the skeleton, like a puppy seeing its owner return home, wagged its tail and came over, licking and rubbing against him.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yao Tianhuo's eyes widened, and he was speechless with shock.
He had resided his soul in this juvenile Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame for many years, possessing extremely strong control over it, coupled with his powerful Flame Control Technique.
Even if he is currently in a low state and exists only as Soul Body, the Fallen Heart Flame should not have been so easily taken away by Xiao Yan!
"Young friend, how can your Flame Control Technique be so terrifying! You are truly a hero!" Yao Tianhuo had completely lost his previous composure and praised without reservation.
He had been struggling to survive in this Magma World for countless years, and finally managed to find an intruder like Xiao Yan. He had originally planned to make a deal with Xiao Yan using his young Fallen Heart Flame.
Now that his flames have been easily taken away by Xiao Yan, he has lost his bargaining chip and dares not continue to pretend.
Seeing that Yao Tianhuo had lowered his stance, Xiao Yan finally spoke, "I observe that your Soul Body is weak, senior. You must have perished many years ago and are only barely surviving thanks to this Fallen Heart Flame."
"If I were to take away this Fallen Heart Flame, Senior would probably vanish from this world not long after."
Yao Tianhuo showed a bitter expression, not expecting Xiao Yan to have such a sharp eye. "What you say is correct, young friend."
"Young friend, you have already reached the Dou Zong level at such a young age, and your Soul Power is so strong that it is even close to the Spirit Realm."
"I suppose you have an extremely powerful force behind you, young friend. Perhaps you look down on a mere remnant soul of a Dou Venerate."
"However, I have been famous for many years and still possess some unique skills and knowledge. If you are willing to spare my life, I will offer them all to you!"
Seeing that his casual words had revealed all of Yao Tianhuo's secrets, he realized that his words had easily swayed Yao Tianhuo.
Recalling his own character in the original story, who was easily fooled, he couldn't help but sigh that having real power makes all the difference.
"Senior, there's no need to panic. I have no intention of taking your life."
On the contrary, I can even help you, senior, restore your Soul Power, refine your body, and be resurrected!"Xiao Yan made a promise without batting an eye.
Yao Tianhuo's eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Is what you say true, young friend?"
"Senior, do you think I would have any reason to lie to you?" Xiao Yan countered.
Yao Tianhuo shook his head repeatedly, then asked, "Young friend, you can't possibly do all this for me for nothing, can you? Do you have any other requests?"
Xiao Yan did not hide his purpose and said directly, "Senior Tian Huo, you were a Dou Venerate in your previous life, so you are still quite valuable."
I can resurrect you, but on the condition that you join my faction after your resurrection."
Yao Tianhuo felt that Xiao Yan was very likely from a powerful force in the Central Plains. Thinking that he could be resurrected and even join a powerful force in the Central Plains, he felt he had struck gold and immediately agreed, "It's only right."
Xiao Yan nodded, then said, "Senior, since you say you have some unique skills to offer, why not show your sincerity and hand them over to me now?"
Yao Tianhuo knew that the situation was beyond his control, and he had no power to resist Xiao Yan, so he obediently handed over a white scroll.
Xiao Yan took it, activated it, and scanned it with his Soul Power, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.
I got it!
Yao Tianhuo's signature move, his forte.
The Five Wheel Fire Method!
