Venerable Yao, Take the Stage!
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of scalding blood gushed out, and Han Feng's composure and coldness were replaced by extreme pain and horror.
He looked down at his chest in disbelief. There were no wounds there, yet his heart was being scorched by an invisible fire. The indescribable burning pain made him somewhat dazed.
"This... this is the Heart Fire of the Fallen Heart Flame? How is this possible!"
Han Feng roared in disbelief in his mind, his voice distorted by the excruciating pain.
Just as Han Feng was being consumed by the sudden inner Heart Fire, causing his Dou Qi to become disordered and his mind to lose control—
"Roar!!!"
Amidst a deafening roar, the Invisible Fire Python, carrying terrifying heat capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas, charged forward!
"Han Feng, watch out!"
The Gold and Silver Elders, who were locked in combat with Su Qian in the distance, saw Han Feng's perilous situation and immediately cried out in alarm.
They never expected that the Invisible Fire Python, which seemed to be suppressed and powerless, would suddenly erupt after the seal was broken. They also never expected that Han Feng would inexplicably vomit blood and become stiff after getting close to Xiao Yan!
The two tried to break away to help, but Su Qian kept them firmly within the battle circle. The palm winds containing powerful Dou Qi followed them like shadows, keeping them tightly bound and preventing them from providing timely support.
The moment the two voices reminded him, Han Feng finally came to his senses. He endured the excruciating burning pain and frantically activated his Dou Qi. The deep blue Sea Heart Flame surged out of his body like a raging tsunami, instantly enveloping him in a huge blue fireball.
"Sea Heart Flame Wall!"
The deep blue flames spun and compressed rapidly, forming layers of solidified barriers like deep-sea curtains, attempting to withstand the devastating impact.
At the same time, he desperately mobilized the power of the Sea Heart Flame to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire within his body.
"Boom!!!"
The next instant, the enormous, Invisible Fire Python, carrying magma that rained down from the sky, crashed violently into the deep blue wall of flames!
It seemed as if only this one deafening roar remained in the entire world!
Deep blue and invisible, terrifying flames collided, erupted, and annihilated each other!
The blinding light from the eruption of the two Heavenly Flames was like the sun falling, causing many people in the midst of the fierce battle to instinctively stop and shield their eyes with their hands.
"Puff!"
The violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring. Even with the full defense of the Sea Heart Flame Wall, Han Feng still suffered a considerable loss. His protective flames shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. Most of his alchemist's robe was burned away by the high temperature, revealing his skin, which was reddish with some charred black.
After delivering this attack, the Invisible Fire Python's massive body dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that it had expended a great deal of energy.
Its massive body then circled in the air, its vertical pupils burning with flames appearing somewhat empty, silently supporting Xiao Yan with its head.
However, Xiao Yan clearly sensed that after losing its Origin Flame Seed, the Heavenly Flames's body was already showing signs of dissipating...
Under Xiao Yan's control, this dissipation process can be very slow.
But if you want to collect them all and use them as resources for your cultivation, there's only one way...
With a light stomp of his foot, Xiao Yan shattered the Fire Python beneath him, which then transformed into streaks of fire that merged into the Origin Flame Seed of the Xiao Yan Fallen Heart Flame within his body!
"This... this is impossible!" Han Feng, who had just managed to steady himself and was about to regulate his Dou Qi after taking Healing Medicine, nearly popped his eyes out when he saw this scene. The shock in his heart even overwhelmed the excruciating pain in his body. "You... you refined the Fallen Heart Flame? How could your body contain two different kinds of Heavenly Flames!"
He couldn't understand!
That's absolutely impossible!
Having possessed the Sea Heart Flame himself, he was well aware of the terror of the repulsion between Heavenly Flames. If it weren't for the help of the Flame Mantra, he wouldn't have dared to even consider taking a second Heavenly Flames!
Judging from how easily Xiao Yan absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame into his body, it's clear that he refined the Origin Flame Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame to achieve this!
Xiao Yan merely sneered at this, then quickly formed profound hand seals, and cobalt blue flames rose from his body, only to instantly retreat back inside!
The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, First Transformation: Green Lotus Myriad Beast Transformation!
Xiao Yan's aura also soared directly to the Dou Ling Peak!
The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, the Second Transformation: The Fallen Heart Flame Transformation!
As the invisible flames surged, Xiao Yan's aura surged once again at an incredible speed, eventually stabilizing at an extremely powerful level!
Peak Dou King?
Sensing Xiao Yan's aura, many people, including Han Feng, were somewhat incredulous.
Is this kid's secret technique really that heaven-defying?
However, Xiao Yan was slightly dissatisfied with this.
You should know that he had just reclaimed the entire fiery serpent body of the Fallen Heart Flame into the Fallen Heart Flame within his own body.
Such an improvement in strength alone is not enough.
The attack from the Invisible Fire Python just now was comparable to the full-force attack of Peak Dou Emperor. I used the Fallen Heart Flame to activate the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, but I could only reach the strength of Peak Dou King. It was really not enough!
Fortunately...
Even if it's a realm enhanced by secret techniques, it's still a genuine Peak Dou King expert!
Therefore, Xiao Yan is capable of Dou Qi Transformation Wings at this moment!
As the cobalt blue Dou Qi, tinged with invisible flames, surged forth, a pair of Dou Qi fire wings condensed directly along the outline of the Purple Cloud Wings, and then superimposed on the Dou Qi Transformation Wings.
As the wings were completed, Xiao Yan's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
While Xiao Yan was activating the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, Han Feng had already finished healing. However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Xiao Yan's palm surging with Dou Qi, which was about to strike him!
Seeing this, Han Feng, though hastily responding, did not tarnish his reputation as the Medicine King. He immediately used the Sea Heart Flame to perform the fire control technique of condensing Heavenly Flames, transforming it into nine layers of waves that crashed down one after another!
In response, Xiao Yan neither dodged nor evaded, but directly threw a punch. The cobalt blue flames transformed into cobalt blue flame crystals on his palm and arm, which seemed to be engraved with lotus and beast patterns, giving them a somewhat eerie appearance.
"Boom!"
The moment the fist made contact with the wave of fire, the entire space fell silent. Then, a thunderous explosion resounded across the sky!
The sudden burst of terrifying energy in the sky brought some calm to the chaotic battlefield around them. Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the flames, many people secretly gasped in astonishment—was this the destructive power unleashed by the collision of Heavenly Flames?
That's truly chilling...
As the flames gradually subsided, two figures, who had been thrown back nearly dozens of meters by the powerful force, slowly appeared in the sky. Upon seeing their figures, everyone's expressions changed.
Xiao Yan's upper robe was completely blasted apart, revealing his unharmed skin.
In contrast, Han Feng, standing in the distance, looked rather disheveled, his clothes tattered, his hair disheveled, and his breathing rapid.
However, at this moment he paid no attention to his own disheveled state. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at Xiao Yan opposite him, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
Looking at Han Feng's comical appearance, Xiao Yan couldn't help but grin, his gleaming white teeth sending chills down Han Feng's spine.
"Oh ho, so you finally realized it?"
Han Feng was breathing heavily, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xiao Yan, and he screamed in a sharp, hoarse voice:
"What... what kind of cultivation technique do you practice? Speak! Tell me! Or I'll kill you!"
Meanwhile, the people who had stopped fighting due to the huge commotion caused by Xiao Yan and Han Feng's battle turned to look at Han Feng, who was becoming somewhat frenzied, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing Han Feng's crazed state, Xiao Yan smiled and said with intense killing intent, "What? Shouldn't you know best?"
Xiao Yan's words, which seemed somewhat inexplicable to others, caused Han Feng's pupils to shrink suddenly, and the unease that had been hidden deep in his heart slowly spread throughout his body!
Because of their previous exchange, he could sense that the opponent's cultivation method was extremely similar to his own!
That was— Flame Mantra!
In order to obtain the Flame Mantra, he did not hesitate to secretly poison his teacher who had raised and taught him!
Although the ultimate goal was not fully achieved, it was with that fragment of the scroll that Han Feng was able to subdue the "Sea Heart Flame" and gain his current strength and power!
However, in the instant he clashed with Xiao Yan, he clearly sensed that the Dou Qi generated by the opponent's technique was far purer than his own!
There is only one cultivation method in the world that is purer and more orthodox than the Incomplete Flame Mantra.
The complete version of the Flame Mantra!
At this moment, a frenzied killing intent directed at Xiao Yan surged wildly from Han Feng's heart!
Xiao Yan looked at Han Feng, who was filled with murderous intent, and sneered:
"Hehe, senior brother, you really want to kill me?"
That one "Senior Brother" made Han Feng's scalp tingle instantly!
"Senior... Senior Brother?" Han Feng was struck dumb. A name that had been buried for many years and haunted his nightmares instantly surfaced in his mind. "You... you are... Yao Chen's...?!"
"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't done that bastard thing—betraying your mentor—I might never have had the chance to meet him!"
Xiao Yan not only killed Han Feng, but also destroyed his spirit. With a single sentence, he confirmed Han Feng's identity and shattered the last shred of hope in his heart.
The commotion caused by Xiao Yan and Han Feng naturally did not escape the notice of the powerful figures in the sky, whose strength had already reached the Dou Wang level.
Therefore, upon hearing the conversation between the two, both the elders of the Inner Academy and the powerful figures of the Black Corner Region held back a bit during the battle and began to watch the drama unfold.
Good heavens! In the entire Black Corner Region, who doesn't know that Han Feng's teacher is the legendary Venerable Yao?
However, if what Xiao Yan said is true, then Han Feng is in big trouble today!
After all, this young man didn't look like someone to be trifled with...
With a flick of his sleeve, Su Qian directly repelled the Gold and Silver Elders. He turned his head to look at the black-robed youth in the distant sky, a look of realization dawning on his eyes. "So that's how it is..."
"Xiao Yan, hold him off for a moment. I'll come to your aid after I've dealt with these two old geezers."
After confirming that Xiao Yan was indeed that senior's disciple, Su Qian's loud laughter resounded throughout the sky.
"Hehe, Great Elder, you just need to deal with those two old fogies. I'd better handle the matter of cleaning up the house myself!"
Xiao Yan shook his head at Great Elder Su Qian and laughed loudly.
"Hehe, then I won't bother you any further!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qian smiled meaningfully, and then his Dou Qi surged out from his body, unleashing an even more fierce attack on the Gold and Silver Elders!
Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze from Su Qian and was about to say something when he felt an immense surge of soul power flow into his body. As a result, Xiao Yan's aura soared to a level far stronger than that of Great Elder Su Qian!
"Dou Zong!?"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Yan, many powerful figures from the Black Corner Region were already considering retreating...
Holy crap... how can a kid who looks like he's only in his teens have such terrifying strength?
Fuck Han Feng!
This is outrageous!
"Teacher?"
Feeling the almost unreserved infusion of Old Yao's soul power into his body, Xiao Yan was stunned. Even with his current physical body, he felt like he was on the verge of his limit and unable to withstand it.
"You're right. Cleaning up the ranks... I'll handle it myself. Over the years, you've always avoided letting me get involved, and I've accumulated quite a bit of strength. That's more than enough to deal with today's situation!"
The voice of the Old Yao slowly echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.
However, his somber tone clearly indicated that Old Yao's mood was not very good at the moment.
"In that case, the students will go crazy with the teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan grinned and immediately took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring.
He poured out a deep yellow pill and swallowed it. A powerful aura emanated from Xiao Yan's body, and his previously near-limit physical body was pushed to its limit. The unbearable feeling disappeared instantly.
"Teacher, please go all out later. I also want to see the prowess of Dou Zun expert!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Yao was deeply moved.
Xiao Yan just swallowed was a pill that could temporarily enhance his physical strength. It was made from Earth Core Body Tempering Milk and some extremely rare medicinal herbs. At the time, he thought that Xiao Yan had developed this pill, called the Earth Emperor Body Tempering Pill, to improve his strength. He never expected that it was for today...
"As your teacher, I will certainly not let you down."
Old Yao smiled, and then, after Xiao Yan released his control over his body, he completely took control of Xiao Yan's body as well.
A pale white flame flashed past Xiao Yan's eyes. Then, Xiao Yan raised his head, and the pale white flame surged forth from his body. His black hair also turned pale white after the flames passed, and his previously slightly childish voice suddenly became aged.
"You wicked beast, today I will cleanse your sect!"
