Fusion of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

Xiao Yan's heart trembled slightly; he took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions.

"Xun'er, I am going to separate a wisp of soul power to enter your spiritual world."

His voice was calm and gentle.

"The process might be a bit uncomfortable, are you... afraid?"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head, a sweet smile curving the corners of her lips.

"With Brother Xiao Yan here, Xun'er is not afraid of anything."

A warmth spread through Xiao Yan's heart.

"Alright, then let us begin."

Both of them closed their eyes simultaneously.

Xiao Yan began to circulate the Yin-Yang Great Demon Life-Cultivation Method, his Dou Qi flowing slowly within his meridians, following an arcane path.

Although this technique was named "Yin-Yang Great Demon" and sounded quite sinister, the principles it contained were profound—

Using the soul as a guide and Dou Qi as a bridge, it allowed the life essences of two people to merge and resonate, thereby achieving the realm of dual cultivation of life and soul.

Xiao Yan calmed his mind, separated a wisp of soul power, and slowly reached out toward Xiao Xun'er.

That wisp of soul power was as gentle as water, devoid of any aggression; it felt like a spring breeze brushing against one's face, tenderly touching Xiao Xun'er's spiritual world.

Xiao Xun'er offered no resistance.

She even proactively opened her mind, welcoming that wisp of soul power inside.

At that very instant—

Hum!

Xiao Yan felt the world spin before his eyes. It was as if he had passed through an invisible barrier, and his entire consciousness arrived in a mysterious space.

This was Xiao Xun'er's spiritual world.

All around was a hazy golden mist, warm and bright, as if he were standing in the morning light. The mist swirled slowly, carrying an aura that put one at ease.

And in the deepest part of this mist—

A cluster of golden flames was burning silently.

The flames were entirely gold, dazzling and brilliant, radiating a pressure that made one's heart palpitate.

As the flames flickered, faint phantoms of golden lotuses emerged, each one containing a terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

Ranked fourth on the Exotic Flame Ranking!

Xiao Yan's soul power trembled slightly.

Even just observing from afar, he could feel the terror of this exotic flame.

The intensity of its pressure was in no way inferior to the Red Lotus Karma Fire he had refined previously!

No wonder Xun'er had been suffering so much because of this exotic flame...

With such a powerful flame residing within a young girl's body, how could it be anything but painful?

If not for Xiao Xun'er's unique constitution, she would likely have been consumed by the exotic flame long ago.

It could only be said that an exotic flame was truly not something an ordinary person could master!

"Brother Xiao Yan."

A soft voice echoed within the spiritual world.

Xiao Yan looked toward the sound and saw the phantom of Xiao Xun'er's soul standing beside the golden flame.

Her figure was somewhat translucent, yet still breathtakingly beautiful. Her clear eyes were gazing at him tenderly, a sweet smile hanging on her lips.

"Xun'er is here."

She said softly, reaching out her hand.

Xiao Yan's soul power took on a human form, stepped forward, and took her hand.

It felt slightly cool to the touch, yet carried a trace of warmth.

"Xun'er, are you ready?"

Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Xun'er nodded.

"Mm."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and activated the techniques of the cultivation method.

Hum—

At that moment, their souls merged together.

That feeling...

Unprecedented.

It was as if two streams had converged into a single great river, as if two clouds had melted into one expanse of sky.

Xiao Yan could clearly feel every trace of emotion in Xiao Xun'er's heart—trust, attachment, joy, and a hint of... the shyness unique to a young girl.

While this act did not involve physical intimacy, their souls had effectively become inseparable, completely merging into one another.

Xiao Xun'er, in turn, felt the tenderness and resolve within Xiao Yan's heart.

At this moment, their souls blended like milk and water, becoming a seamless whole.

And in that very instant—

BOOM!

Xiao Yan felt an incomparably scorching aura surge from the depths of Xiao Xun'er's soul!

It was the power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

The flame flowed along their intertwined souls into Xiao Yan's body, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying might!

However—

Xiao Yan did not panic in the slightest.

He simultaneously circulated the Yin-Yang Great Demon Life-Cultivation Method and the Burning Mantra, guiding that powerful flame energy into his dantian to converge and fuse with the Red Lotus Karma Fire already within him.

The crimson Red Lotus Karma Fire and the golden Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame met at this moment.

The two Heavenly Flames swirled, merged, and collided within his dantian, emitting a deafening roar.

Xiao Yan felt his meridians trembling, every inch of his flesh and blood enduring immense pressure.

Yet, he gritted his teeth and held on stubbornly.

At the same time—

An even more powerful force surged from the depths of Xiao Xun'er's soul!

It was the power of the Ancient Clan's Dou Emperor bloodline!

That bloodline power was vast and boundless, like a great ocean, far beyond what the current Xiao Family bloodline could compare to; after all, the Xiao Family's Dou Emperor bloodline had been almost entirely exhausted by Xiao Xuan, leaving only a negligible trace.

As that power poured into Xiao Yan's body, he felt as if he were soaking in a warm spring, his entire being filled with comfort.

Xiao Xun'er, in this process, also felt the power within Xiao Yan's body.

His Dou Qi, his soul, his will...

Everything was laid bare to her at this moment.

Their life auras were thoroughly fused at this instant.

<strong>[Ding--]</strong>

<strong>[Host has engaged in Life-Cultivation with the Daughter of Destiny, Xiao Xun'er. Souls have merged. Successfully cucked the Destiny Protagonist; the Destiny Protagonist no longer has any chance to compete for the heroine. Plundered a massive amount of the Destiny Protagonist's Luck!]</strong>

<strong>[Destiny Protagonist Luck Value -10,000!]</strong>

<strong>[Host Luck Value +10,000!]</strong>

<strong>[Obtained Super Villain Points +10,000!]</strong>

<strong>[Hehehe... Host, your methods are brilliant! From now on, the Destiny Heroine has been branded with your soul mark and will be completely under your control, believing only in you! At this rate, it won't be long before the Destiny Protagonist's luck in this realm is completely plundered by the Host!]</strong>

The system's notification sounded like an explosion in his mind, but Xiao Yan had no time to pay it any heed.

All his attention was focused on the two Heavenly Flames merging within his body.

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

The two flames swirled, entwined, and fused within him.

Though the process was painful, it carried an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

It was as if—

This was the most natural union in heaven and earth.

Originally, the fusion process of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was extremely perilous and bore the exclusive bloodline mark of the Ancient Clan's Dou Emperor experts; anyone without the Ancient Clan bloodline attempting to force a fusion would trigger a violent state of self-immolation.

However, relying on the "Yin-Yang Great Demon Life-Cultivation Method," Xiao Yan had also smelted the effects of Xiao Xun'er's Divine Grade Bloodline. Consequently, the "Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame" mistakenly identified him as a member of the Ancient Clan, making the process of subduing it effortless.

The entire process was almost no different from refining and fusing the "Red Lotus Karma Fire"!

Hum—

The moment Xiao Yan completely fused with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, his aura erupted once again!
