First Fusion of a Heavenly Flame

"Fusion, begin!"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yan suddenly changed the hand seals in his hands, and slowly closed his eyes again.

As Xiao Yan closed his eyes, the temperature in front of the Library Pavilion suddenly began to rise.

This made Lin Shuiyao, Su Qian and the others feel uneasy. Although the Qian and Bai Elders spoke with great confidence, the Heavenly Flames was not a docile sheep.

In particular, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame that Xiao Yan fused with was ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Such Heavenly Flames could melt even a Dou Huang expert in a short time, let alone a mere Dou Zhe like Xiao Yan.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Shuiyao and the others, Xiao Yan kept his eyes closed, his whole body trembling violently as if he had been electrocuted.

Its delicate features were frequently alternating between blue and red, making it look quite terrifying.

When Xiao Yan focused his mind on his body, the internal situation he saw was much more serious than what appeared on the surface.

After the fusion began, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame transformed into wisps of eerie white flames, each wisp brimming with terrifying energy, rampaging through his meridians like wild horses.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan had already planted Soul Imprint within this Heavenly Flames.

Otherwise, with his current strength, fusing with such a Heavenly Flames would be tantamount to courting death, and a particularly extravagant and painful one at that.

Even so, Xiao Yan still suffered greatly.

As the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, intertwined with ice and flame, passed by, Xiao Yan's meridians, which were considered spacious and resilient for Dou Zhe, would instantly clench, shrinking to the size of a finger's gap. Then, these almost closed meridians would rapidly expand again, becoming slightly wider than before.

No matter how strong an individual is, their meridians are the most vulnerable part of the human body. The pain caused by such a huge change is the reason why Xiao Yan's body keeps twitching intermittently.

The strange temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame began to spread from his meridians, causing a strange change in Xiao Yan's expression.

However, thanks to the mental fortitude honed through simulation, physical pain was not unbearable for Xiao Yan.

The mere thought of the Soul Hall, capable of extracting and even devouring souls, would make Xiao Yan clench his teeth tightly.

The thought that the Soul Hall would target the entire Xiao Clan made Xiao Yan feel as if he had taken some kind of Ninth-grade Pill. He desperately controlled the pale white Bone Spirit Cold Flame, making it travel through his meridians according to the operating trajectory of the Flame Mantra.

Despite the damage to Xiao Yan's meridians, bones, and flesh caused by the slight power emanating from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and even the cracks appearing on his skin, making him seem like he could explode at any moment, Xiao Yan still went without hesitation.

no...

Seeing Xiao Yan on the verge of death, Medicine Elder's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He had invested heavily in Xiao Yan, only to have it all go to waste.

In this way, even if he encounters a disciple with better aptitude next time, there won't be a second portion of Naling available, let alone the opportunity to experiment with the Flame Mantra again.

While Medicine Elder was filled with remorse, Xiao Yan's vitality was much stronger than he had imagined. Unlike those who had died under his Bone Spirit Cold Flame in the past, Xiao Yan did not explode in the next moment.

Although his body was severely damaged after fusing with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan discovered that once he could fully recover from the intertwining of ice and flame, all his attributes would be enhanced.

However, at this moment, Xiao Yan did not think much about such benefits. He focused almost all his attention on making the Bone Spirit Cold Flame complete one cycle of the Flame Mantra.

After completing the first cycle of the cultivation technique, Xiao Yan was like a container filled with scorching steam that had malfunctioned. Numerous bubbles appeared on his skin all over his body, bursting open with a crackling sound, and a burst of scorching heat suddenly surged out.

Just as everyone's hearts trembled, a layer of ice covered Xiao Yan's ruptured flesh.

The sudden turn of events caused a trickle of blood to flow from the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth, but he clearly felt that he had successfully completed his cultivation.

Having learned from its previous experience, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame once again operated according to the Flame Mantra Technique, but its extremely destructive power against the Dou Zhe's body was greatly reduced.

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't waste any time, controlling the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to travel through his meridians.

As he repeatedly practiced the technique, Xiao Yan's body did not undergo any more terrifying changes.

However, during this process, strands of pale white energy separated from the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, seeped out from the meridians, and spread to Xiao Yan's limbs and bones.

Under this rather gentle, pale white energy, Xiao Yan's severely damaged body quickly recovered.

On the surface, the ice on the torn and bloodied flesh melted away, and under the nourishment of strands of pale white energy, it quickly recovered to its original state, and the fair skin looked even more delicate than before.

However, after Fused Heavenly Flame, its toughness has been greatly improved.

After the Bone Spirit Cold Flame finished repairing Xiao Yan's body, it plunged into Xiao Yan's Dou Qi Whirl.

In an instant, the slowly rotating Dou Qi Whirl began to spin wildly, as if injected with adrenaline, with a faint whooshing sound.

The azure vortex continued to expand rapidly as it spun at high speed, releasing a large amount of pure energy. Xiao Yan remained completely still, firmly controlling the operation of the Flame Mantra Technique.

In a short while, Xiao Yan's strength increased by one star, reaching the level of Two-Star Dou Zhe.

This change caused Qian and Bai Elders, Medicine Elder, and others, who had sensed Xiao Yan's increased strength, to show expressions of astonishment.

Even the Medicine Elder, who had fused with the Heavenly Flames, was shocked; he had no idea that Heavenly Flames could have such benefits.

After a while, Xiao Yan's strength changed again, and he became Three-Star Dou Zhe.

However, this improvement seems to be just beginning and shows no signs of stopping.

Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, completely absorbed in cultivating his martial arts.

In this relatively quiet cultivation process, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For three days, Xiao Yan remained motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation.

However, a strange temperature, a mixture of ice and fire, spread from his body, and faintly, some pale white flames occasionally burst out from his pores, burning the attracted energy of heaven and earth.

Over the past three days, the continuous spread of energy has transformed the area in front of the Library Pavilion into a unique Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

However, compared to the scorching heat of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, the location of the Library Pavilion was filled with a mixture of ice and fire, two extremely different temperatures.

Centered on Xiao Yan, the temperature ranged from one side so low that ice would freeze and a chilling mist would permeate the air, to the other side so high that the surrounding rocks would melt and emit scorching heat.
