Ten Thousand Year Boundless Technique, Taisui Infinite Flame

What is the most frustrating thing in life?

It is having a rare treasure of heaven and earth right before your eyes, within arm's reach, yet being unable to obtain it. That was precisely Shen Shihuang's current mood.

Extremely depressed.

Shen Shihuang was well aware of the violent power of an Exotic Flame. Relying solely on his current strength, he had no confidence in completely subduing the Sea Heart Flame. The reason Xiao Yan was able to subdue Exotic Flames was due to his pre-battle preparations; he had been fully equipped with everything from the environment to medicinal pills.

As expected, having a big shot by one's side is what truly makes one the protagonist!

Shen Shihuang sighed.

For an ordinary person, if they were to attempt to swallow an Exotic Flame without preparation, the only outcome would likely be to be reduced to ashes.

"Taisui Flame, protect my body."

"If I don't give it a try, I truly won't be able to reconcile myself to this!"

Black Taisui Flame seemed to permeate every bone and inch of flesh in Shen Shihuang's body. Looking at the Sea Heart Flame before him, he steeled his heart, and just as he was about to swallow the origin seed of the Sea Heart Flame, a familiar spatial rift opened before him once again.

It was that same figure he had seen before.

"Wu Ci?"

Looking at the figure amidst the endless flames within the spatial rift, Shen Shihuang was stunned.

"This subordinate is still unable to come to your side. If you wish to swallow an Exotic Flame, the Taisui Flame on your body can transform into a cauldron for the Exotic Flame, allowing you to temporarily store other Exotic Flames within it. However, in doing so, the Taisui Flame will be unable to fuse with the energy of the Exotic Flame's origin seed."

"The Taisui Flame requires energy. By utilizing this energy, you can fully possess the abilities of the Exotic Flame. My King, you may temporarily take this Exotic Flame into your body and use it, but this Exotic Flame will remain equivalent to an ownerless object."

"The Taisui Flame can contain other Exotic Flames, but it will absolutely never coexist with another Exotic Flame as one."

"Please remember: the Ten Thousand Year Boundless Technique and the Taisui Infinite Flame. The Ten Thousand Year Technique can devour any soul body, and the Taisui Flame can fuse with the energy of any Exotic Flame."

Shen Shihuang watched the figure in the flames as the spatial rift rapidly healed.

"Is that so?"

Shen Shihuang frowned slightly.

He had originally thought he could be like Xiao Yan, taking multiple Exotic Flames into his body. He had not expected this outcome.

The Taisui Flame.

It would absolutely never coexist with another Exotic Flame; it could only absorb the origin energy of an Exotic Flame and subsequently gain that flame's abilities.

"How truly overbearing!"

It was indeed overbearing.

I am the only one who reigns supreme, and I can possess your abilities.

However,

You are absolutely not allowed to stand on equal footing with me.

Damn it!!

"If the origin seed energy of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the Void Devouring Flame were absorbed by the Taisui Flame, I wonder what level this Taisui Flame could grow to."

Although it could not allow other Exotic Flames to coexist, the capabilities of the Taisui Flame were simply terrifying.

Ordinary Exotic Flames were one thing, but the abilities of the top five flames on the Exotic Flame Ranking were each stronger than the last.

Even without flames outside the Exotic Flame Ranking, if the abilities of most of the flames on the ranking were combined into one, even the Void Devouring Flame would likely have to give way, would it not?

"Taisui Infinite Flame."

"Is this the true name of the Taisui Flame?"

Shen Shihuang sighed inwardly. The Taisui Flame wrapped around the origin seed of the Sea Heart Flame, and as he opened his mouth, it went directly into his body.

"What a pity, the leveling up of the Taisui Flame actually doesn't make my strength grow stronger."

Shen Shihuang only just realized this.

When others subdued an Exotic Flame, their strength would inevitably increase to a certain extent, yet after his Taisui Flame leveled up, his own strength had not improved at all.

What a waste.

"One-star Dou Zong."

Shen Shihuang sensed his own strength; it seemed he was close to becoming a two-star Dou Zong.

System check-in location has been refreshed.
Please proceed to Jianan Academy to check in.
There is no time limit for the check-in. The next check-in location will only be refreshed after the host completes this check-in.

Just as Shen Shihuang prepared to leave, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

"A new location has been refreshed?"

"Jianan Academy."

A flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Shen Shihuang's eyes.

Although he did not know what the rewards from this Sign-in System would be, for now, they could be Dou Techniques or medicinal pills.

At this moment.

He still had a Sect-Breaking Pill in his hand.

"It seems I need to find time to head back."

A single Sect-Breaking Pill.

It might just allow the Snake-People Tribe to produce another Dou Zong powerhouse, which would make the burden on Queen Medusa's shoulders much lighter.

Jianan Academy.

Inner Academy.

The Great Elder's office.

"What did you say?"

Great Elder Su Qian's expression changed.

"Great Elder, a flame space rift has appeared in the eastern direction of the Black-Corner Region. Three of our students were sucked into it, and their fate is currently unknown," a fellow elder said bitterly.

Such an accident.

It was simply bizarre.

A space rift had appeared for no reason, sucking in many powerhouses in the vicinity. When they realized what had happened and tried to enter, the flames inside were so terrifying that even with his strength as a nine-star Dou Huang, he could not take a single step inside.

"Let's go!"

Upon learning the situation, Su Qian set off immediately.

"Great Elder."

In the air.

Su Qian walked through the sky, accompanied by two other elders who were also Dou Huang powerhouses.

"The flames there can even burn Dou Qi. I have a feeling that something is strange."

Great Elder Su Qian's gaze became grave.

"It can even burn Dou Qi?"

"That's right. If not for that, I would have forced my way in. Who would have thought that the moment I touched those flames, they nearly entered my body? Before that fire, my Dou Qi was like water, evaporating almost instantly."

"That kind of flame is pink and extremely eerie."

Hearing this.

Su Qian's expression grew even more solemn: "Could it be... an Exotic Flame?"

"But, a pink Exotic Flame?"

"Is it on the Exotic Flame Ranking?"

"And a flame that can burn Dou Qi at that."

Su Qian pondered for a long time, but no Exotic Flame on the Exotic Flame Ranking matched these characteristics.

"Great Elder."

"Do you think it could be an Exotic Flame not recorded on the Exotic Flame Ranking? The strangeness of this fire is completely unlike ordinary flames. Ordinary flames cannot burn the Dou Qi of a Dou Huang powerhouse."

Su Qian did not say much.

Instead, he asked.

"Who else was sucked in?" Su Qian inquired.

"Besides the people from our Jianan Academy, there is also the Young Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect..." As he said this, a trace of killing intent appeared in the eyes of the elder, who was a peak nine-star Dou Huang.

Su Qian sensed it.

"The people from the Black Emperor Sect also want to lay a hand on the students of my Jianan Academy?"

"The fellows in this Black-Corner Region really have a lot of nerve!"

"It seems my Jianan Academy has been quiet for too long."

Jianan Academy was able to establish itself in a chaotic place like the Black-Corner Region not through soft methods, but through forceful suppression.

The strong being respected.

That was the main theme of the Dou Qi Continent.

In the eastern direction of the Black-Corner Region.

Shen Shihuang walked slowly through the air toward Jianan Academy. Below him lay several corpses. He had originally intended to travel on foot to observe the "local customs" of the Black-Corner Region, but unfortunately, the people here were not very friendly.

Therefore.

Shen Shihuang had no choice but to send them off to drink a bowl of Meng Po Soup.
