Three-Star Dou Wang, Mortal Realm Great Perfection [Thanks for the tips and monthly votes, extra chapter]

Yao Lao's vast, majestic soul barrier formed with a thunderous crash, instantly enveloping the entire Lava Secret Realm.

This soul barrier of Yao Lao's not only shut out all outside interference, but also firmly trapped all of the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin energy within the barrier!

Leaving the Green Lotus Core Flame no chance to escape.

Within the barrier, the several-meter-wide green lotus hovered quietly in the air, its azure flames flowing in flawless splendor!

Yao Xuan glanced at the blood-red pill in his palm and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.

Then, with a thought, Yao Xuan began circulating the Flame Mantra!

The next second, the fused flame within Yao Xuan's body, which had already merged Yellow Mysterious Flame and two strands of Beast Flame, suddenly surged violently!

At the same time, Yao Xuan released his soul power and cast it toward the Green Lotus Core Flame!

In midair, the complete Green Lotus Core Flame instantly sensed a lethal threat!

The formerly gentle azure flames suddenly swelled into a violent frenzy. The three-meter lotus flame trembled in the sky, layer upon layer of petals rapidly opening and closing as vast, pure fire-attributed origin energy erupted...

The temperature within the entire barrier instantly soared to a terrifying level.

Azure flames swept in every direction, madly battering the soul barrier Yao Lao had set up...

"Steady your mind! Take it step by step and draw the flame into your body!"

Seeing this, Yao Lao could not help but shout a reminder to Yao Xuan.

Yao Xuan gathered his focus, cast aside every distracting thought, and pushed the Flame Mantra to its utmost speed!

Above the void, the azure lotus flame struggled violently...

Yet under the pull of Yao Xuan's soul power and the suppression of his Dou Qi, it gradually eased somewhat!

A moment later, a thread of incomparably pure azure fire detached from the lotus body first, following its path through the air as it slowly entered Yao Xuan's body...

The instant the thread of flame entered his body, an extreme, scorching heat exploded within him!

Even with the medicinal power of the Blood Lotus Pill protecting the walls of his meridians, Yao Xuan could still feel them being torn apart...

In an instant, agonizing pain swept through every limb and bone in Yao Xuan's body...

"Endure it! This is the tempering of the Green Lotus Core Flame..."

Yao Xuan knew full well that if his focus faltered even slightly!

He would suffer the backlash of the Green Lotus Core Flame!

Thus, Yao Xuan forcibly suppressed the agonizing pain and circulated the Flame Mantra to assimilate the azure fire-origin power entering his body...

A thread, a wisp, a sheet...

Pure Green Lotus fire origin continuously poured into Yao Xuan's dantian...

The fused flame that had originally contained three mixed colors was instantly dominated by the vast azure flames.

The Dou Qi around Yao Xuan's body was washed by the Green Lotus Core Flame, its quality undergoing a transformation visible to the naked eye.

Time slowly passed...

The entire flame seed of the several-meter-wide Green Lotus Core Flame hovering in the air had completely merged into Yao Xuan's body...

Yao Xuan's gaze sharpened. He raised a hand and clenched it in the air, and all eleven gleaming, translucent Earthfire Lotus Seeds on the lotus platform instantly flew over, hovering before him.

Each lotus seed contained a century's worth of the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin essence. With all eleven gathered together, they held nearly a thousand years of accumulated core fire marrow, their energy dense and immense...

How could Yao Xuan possibly let them go!

With a thought from Yao Xuan, the eleven Earthfire Lotus Seeds turned into eleven azure streams of light and all rushed into his body.

In an instant, a terrifying surge of energy exploded within Yao Xuan's body!

Yao Xuan did not dare be careless and hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to refine and absorb the energy of the Earthfire Lotus Seeds!

As time passed, the Dou Qi around Yao Xuan's body surged wildly...

His aura rose step by step, breaking through Eight-Star Dou Spirit and Nine-Star Dou Spirit in an instant!

Bzzz—!

An invisible wave of breakthrough force exploded outward with Yao Xuan at its center, a faint azure halo of flame sweeping through the entire barrier.

One-Star Dou King!

Before the tremor from his breakthrough could subside, the millennium fire marrow contained in the lotus seeds continued pouring out without end!

Two-Star, Three-Star!

In just a few breaths, Yao Xuan crossed three minor realms in succession, his cultivation firmly settling at Three-Star Dou Wang!

Yet just as his Dou Qi cultivation stabilized at Three-Star Dou Wang, Yao Xuan's soul power also received the utmost nourishment and tempering during the process of subduing the Heavenly Flame!

His Late-Level Mortal Realm soul, which had stagnated for so long, rapidly transformed and ascended under the nourishment of this incomparably pure fire spirituality.

Within moments, the shackles shattered completely!

Mortal Realm Grand Perfection!

Yao Xuan's soul power successfully reached the peak of the Mortal Realm, only one step away from entering the Spirit Realm!

Outside the soul barrier, Yao Lao witnessed every part of Yao Xuan's breakthrough.

At this moment, Yao Lao could not help stroking his beard, his eyes full of astonishment:

"I thought it would already be quite good if refining this Green Lotus Core Flame allowed him to return to the Dou Wang realm..."

"Who would have thought that he would reach Three-Star Dou Wang in one go! And even break through in soul power along the way!"

"This kid really does keep surprising people..."

Meanwhile, Yao Xuan still had his eyes closed as he focused on sensing the slow flow of the Green Lotus Core Flame within his body...

Stabilizing his Three-Star Dou Wang cultivation and Mortal Realm Grand Perfection soul realm...

Yao Xuan still did not stop...

Because Yao Xuan could sense that although he had successfully absorbed the Green Lotus Core Flame with the Flame Mantra...

It had yet to fully merge with the Yellow Mysterious Flame within his body...

Thus, with a thought from Yao Xuan, the Flame Mantra was suddenly activated once more!

Using his pure Mortal Realm Grand Perfection soul as a guide, he forcibly drew the two Heavenly Flames closer together, weaving them into each other.

Even with the Flame Mantra, the yellow and azure Heavenly Flames still clashed violently...

But as time passed, under the suppression of the Flame Mantra and the guidance of Yao Xuan's exceptionally delicate soul power!

The mutually repelling Yellow Mysterious Flame and Green Lotus Core Flame slowly intertwined and fused...

The azure and yellow flames continuously wound around each other, tempered each other, and became one!

In the end, they turned into a crimson-green flame...

And the instant Yao Xuan successfully fused these two Heavenly Flames, an incomparably massive surge of energy suddenly blasted outward from him!

This powerful energy actually pierced through the soul barrier Yao Lao had set up and crashed against the walls of the entire lava cavern...

Causing the whole cave to shake violently!

Within the Serpent-People Temple, this tremor of energy caused Medusa, who had been sitting with her eyes closed in concentration, to abruptly open them:

"Bold human..."
