Entering the Secret Realm, Two Against One? Soul Spirit Avatar!
Within a basin.
Xiao Yan sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on sensing the faint spatial fluctuations.
At one moment, his fighting Dou Qi suddenly burst forth, and the terrifying aura caused the three surrounding mountains to collapse.
On the mountain peak, the expressions of Old Ghost Zhaixing and Old Man Mu Gu changed slightly.
"Dou Venerate?"
The two looked surprised.
"Isn't Yan Xiao's cultivation level Dou Zong? Even if he has improved, he shouldn't have grown to Dou Venerate's cultivation level in just a few months," said Old Ghost Zhaixing.
"Perhaps this Yan Xiao is too cautious and has therefore concealed its cultivation level," Old Man Mu Gu said, but in his heart he thought of that miraculous Flame Mantra.
That wondrous Cultivation Technique that can absorb Heavenly Flames might contain a way to quickly improve one's cultivation level.
A greedy look appeared in his eyes, and he increasingly craved the Flame Mantra.
"Zhai Xing, don't worry. This Yan Xiao is only One-Star Dou Venerate has just entered the Dou Zun Realm. How could he be a match for you and me?" Old Man Mu Gu said naturally.
The Old Man Mu Gu thought with some relief, "It's fortunate that I cautiously summoned that old Zhai Xing. If Yan Xiao is truly Yao Chen's disciple, he must possess some means to enhance his strength or deliver a fatal blow."
"If it were just me alone, I'm not sure I could easily defeat Yan Xiao."
But with Zhai Xing, even if an unexpected situation arises, they can push him out first."
"Hehehe, Zhai Xing, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Old Ghost Zhaixing glanced at Mu Gu and thought to himself, "Mu Gu obviously doesn't know much about Yan Xiao's situation either."
This Yan Xiao might have some kind of life-saving trick up its sleeve, so I must be careful in dealing with it.
If things go wrong, I'll definitely push Mu Gu out to take the fall! Hehehe."
The two elders of the Soul Hall exchanged a glance, smiling on the surface, but secretly plotting something in their hearts.
At that moment, in the center of the basin, Xiao Yan gathered all his Dou Qi within himself, opened his eyes, and pointed his finger at the air.
A Space Channel appeared, and at the end of the passage, a mysterious Secret Realm filled with mist could be vaguely seen, within which black and white flames seemed to burn continuously.
Upon seeing this at the mountain peak, Old Man Mu Gu and Old Ghost Zhaixing immediately set off.
The two parted the space between them, and just as Xiao Yan had exhausted some of his Dou Qi and his attention was mostly focused on the Secret Realm, the two made their move.
The moment the two set off, Xiao Yan keenly sensed the fluctuations in space.
The two powerful auras of Dou Venerate caused him to frown slightly.
He turned his head and saw that it was the familiar black robe of the Soul Hall.
Looking up at the Space Channel he had opened, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then didn't stop.
Having finally located the Secret Realm, he had no time to linger outside.
With the help of his Space Control Heaven-Swallowing Talent, Xiao Yan was faster than both the Old Ghost Zhaixing and the Old Man Mu Gu. In a flash, he entered the Space Channel.
The Old Ghost Zhaixing and the Old Man Mu Gu followed closely behind and entered as well.
A look of delight flashed in both of their eyes, and they secretly thought that Xiao Yan had truly dug his own grave.
In that Secret Realm, even escape would be difficult.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, Xiao Yan immediately discovered that his Fire Spirit Body was responding.
The allure emanating from that Heavenly Flames felt strangely familiar to him, confirming that Heavenly Flames did indeed exist here.
Having confirmed this, Xiao Yan stood still.
He certainly wanted to find the Heavenly Flames, but before Heavenly Flames, he wanted to get rid of those two tagalongs.
Xiao Yan turned around and looked behind him. Two black mists took on human shapes, wearing the familiar attire of the Soul Hall.
"The Soul Hall's stray dogs are a bit more upscale than before."
"You are permitted to state your names." Xiao Yan hovered in the air, looking down at the two, his long robes fluttering slowly in his dissipating Dou Qi.
"Hehehe, Alliance Leader Yan Xiao is truly arrogant!"
"I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall. Others call me the Old Ghost Zhaixing. Boy, to hear my name before you die is enough to make your death worthwhile." The Old Ghost Zhaixing smiled confidently, as if he had already confirmed Xiao Yan's death.
"That Old Ghost Zhaixing was at the peak of the Five-Star Dou Venerate in the original work? He's definitely not a good guy." Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, but his vigilance increased.
"Hehehe, Yan Xiao, let your master come out. He'll recognize me." The Old Man Mu Gu's gaze was focused on the Bone Flame Ring on Xiao Yan's finger, and he had completely confirmed his guess.
He was overjoyed.
The Bone Flame Ring is connected to Yao Chen, and the fact that Xiao Yan can wear this ring means that he definitely has some connection with Yao Chen.
Based on the previous speculations, there's a high probability that he has cultivated the Flame Mantra!
Now that he and the Old Ghost Zhaixing have joined forces, and they are in this inescapable Secret Realm, Xiao Yan is doomed to die!
Once Xiao Yan dies, all of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames and the Flame Mantra will be his!
The Old Man Mu Gu was already trembling with excitement just thinking about it.
Xiao Yan, through his words, roughly deduced the man's identity.
To stand on equal footing with the Old Ghost Zhaixing, one's status must be no lower than the former's.
However, in his perception, this person's strength was definitely weaker than that of the Old Ghost Zhaixing.
In this situation, the fact that his status is still equal to that of the Old Ghost Zhaixing indicates that he must possess other special talents, such as alchemy.
Under these circumstances, if he still couldn't guess that the person in front of him was Old Man Mu Gu, then he would truly be foolish.
"Four-Star Dou Venerate and Two-Star Dou Venerate are barely enough for me to practice with." Xiao Yan raised his eyes, his gaze cold. (The timeline is several years ago, so One-Star has been deducted from their rankings.)
"Hehehe, kid, I hope your strength matches your arrogance!"
Take this palm strike!
The Old Ghost Zhaixing chuckled, and his pale hand emerged from the sleeve of his black robe. A dense, suffocating black mist surged out, transforming into a gigantic hand several tens of feet long, which slammed down fiercely towards Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan returned the blow with a palm strike.
The Green Lotus Core Flame surged from within his body, and with a flick of his wrist, he pushed it forward, creating a fiery palm no smaller than the black mist palm, which collided with the black mist palm.
The collision of their palms generated a powerful energy impact, causing the entire Secret Realm realm to tremble slightly.
The two enormous hands clearly showed that Xiao Yan's Flame Hand was superior.
The giant hand, formed from the Green Lotus Core Flame, possesses the terrifying high temperature and destructive power of the Heavenly Flames, as well as the unique and terrifying explosive power of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
With this strike, the black mist palm was directly crushed and dissipated.
The fiery palm continued to advance towards the Old Ghost Zhaixing.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Old Ghost Zhaixing's eyes. He casually flicked his sleeve, and black mist surged out, engulfing the fiery palm.
Without saying a word, he continued his attack, the vast black mist surging towards Xiao Yan.
With the support of the powerful Dou Qi of the Old Ghost Zhaixing was a Four-Star Dou Venerate, the black mist unleashed tremendous power.
Xiao Yan continued to summon the Green Lotus Core Flame, but it only provided a brief resistance. The black mist was partially burned away by the Green Lotus Core Flame and then immediately returned to its original state, seemingly endless.
The black mist pressed down on Xiao Yan from the front.
At this moment, Old Man Mu Gu also launched an attack, raising his hand to summon a giant claw formed from blue crystal layers, which, propelled by the power of space, swiftly grabbed towards Xiao Yan.
In that brief moment, the Bone Flame Ring rippled slightly.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and replied, "Teacher, it's not worth disturbing you. I'll finish the battle soon."
After saying this, Xiao Yan looked at the Old Ghost Zhaixing and the Old Man Mu Gu, calmly stating, "Two against one? Ridiculous."
The Soul Power that had reached the Spirit Realm was suddenly released in that instant.
Xiao Yan's calm voice echoed within the Secret Realm: "Soul Skill - Soul Spirit Avatar!"
