Breakthrough, Three Stars in One Year!

"Huff, huff~"

Inside the purplish-black sea of fire created by Xiao Lin, Xiao Yan was panting heavily, half-squatting on the ground.

He had anticipated the attack launched by the Three Thousand Burning Flames, and with all his might, he managed to block it.

Even so, the Vajra Glazed Body was still burned to Nihility in the purplish-black sea of fire.

In addition, Xiao Yan's aura has completely weakened, and he has returned to his Late-Stage One-Star Dou Saint realm.

Having fought for so long with his Clan Mark activated, and then withstood a powerful attack from the Three Thousand Burning Flames, he's only experiencing a decline in his aura and hasn't suffered any serious injuries, which is quite remarkable!

After all, in terms of cultivation level, Xiao Yan was still genuinely inferior to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which had been enhanced by Xiao Lin.

To fight a stronger enemy with a weaker one, one must naturally pay a certain price.

Currently, Xiao Lin's Dou Qi has almost completely disappeared.

But thankfully... the outcome is already decided!

When Xiao Yan caught his breath and looked back at the spot where the Three Thousand Burning Flames had been, he found that the tens of meters long purplish-black fire dragon that the Three Thousand Burning Flames had conjured had disappeared.

All that remained was a tiny, purplish-black fire dragon, less than half a meter long.

Clearly, that is the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

In other words, Xiao Yan's attack just now directly shattered the Fire Spirit body of the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

Once the Fire Spirit body of Heavenly Flames is destroyed, it certainly cannot recover quickly in a short period of time.

At the same time, the origin of the Heavenly Flames can be said to be the most powerful, or it can be said to be the weakest!

Because once the origin is exposed, others can absorb and refine it.

However, the destructive power possessed by the Heavenly Flame Origin is often the strongest!

Xiao Yan is currently focusing on the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

However, Xiao Yan also knew that although he had defeated the Three Thousand Burning Flames, it was almost impossible for him to absorb and refine it in his current state.

He only has a chance if he can immediately recover to full health!

"Are we really just going to give up like this?"

Xiao Yan murmured to himself.

Clearly, Xiao Yan was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

However, if he recovers, the Three Thousand Burning Flames will probably have to re-form Heavenly Flames body.

At that point, at best, it will probably end up the same way it is now.

Thinking about all this, Xiao Yan felt quite helpless.

If he were stronger, perhaps he wouldn't need to worry about this.

However, just as Xiao Yan was working hard to recover his Dou Qi and thinking about how to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the latter suddenly chose to take the initiative to approach Xiao Yan!

"Call out"

The source of the Three Thousand Burning Flames transformed into a black shadow and suddenly flew over.

This unexpected situation startled Xiao Yan.

After all, in Xiao Yan's view, the Three Thousand Burning Flames should be trying its best to re-condense its Heavenly Flames body as soon as possible, so why would it rush towards him in its original form?

This was so illogical that Xiao Yan was completely caught off guard.

"Swish"

In the end, right before Xiao Yan's somewhat terrified eyes, the essence of the Three Thousand Burning Flames rushed directly into his body!

"It's over!"

This was the first thought that popped into Xiao Yan's mind.

Clearly, Xiao Yan thought the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames wanted to explode against him!

However, after a while, Xiao Yan discovered that he felt absolutely nothing wrong with his body!

What happened?

Xiao Yan looked completely bewildered.

Without a second thought, he immediately began examining his own body.

Meanwhile, somewhere within Xiao Yan's body, the origins of the five Heavenly Flames he originally possessed— the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame —all emerged.

Beside these five Heavenly Flames, there was also a purplish-black flame.

That was none other than the Three Thousand Burning Flames that had just entered Xiao Yan's body!

At first, Xiao Yan thought that his five Heavenly Flames were fighting against the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

However, as soon as he sensed it, he immediately realized something was wrong!

Because, in his perception, the five Heavenly Flames he possessed seemed to be... communicating with the Three Thousand Burning Flames?

This realization nearly made Xiao Yan's jaw drop.

"Isn't this... isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

Sensing this scene, Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

"Whoosh"

It's unclear what they exchanged, but ultimately, the five Heavenly Flames controlled by Xiao Yan flew to his side.

Five Heavenly Flames of different colors began to slowly rotate around Xiao Yan.

After receiving the consciousness transmitted by the five Heavenly Flames, Xiao Lin fell silent.

Because the five Heavenly Flames told Xiao Yan that the Three Thousand Burning Flames wanted them to make room for them...

At this moment, if Xiao Yan hadn't sensed that the purplish-black flame within his body was the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, he would have doubted that he had encountered a fake Three Thousand Burning Flames.

This is outrageous!

A Heavenly Flames capable of unleashing the power of Dou Sheng rushed into a person's body, and not only did it not cause any trouble, it even made room for the other Heavenly Flames within that person's body to make room for it?

To be honest, Xiao Yan felt like he was dreaming.

After a while, Xiao Yan gradually accepted this absurd fact.

"Three Thousand Burning Flames, will you willingly follow me?"

Although he had already received the message from the five Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan still couldn't help but ask about the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

"Whoa~"

"Buzz~"

Immediately, accompanied by the flickering purple-black flames, Xiao Yan also received a wisp of nascent consciousness transmitted by the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

The gist of it is that Xiao Yan has passed its test and is now qualified for it to choose to follow him.

As for the so-called test, it's simply about defeating it.

It's that simple.

Xiao Yan: "..."

After this, Xiao Yan remained silent for a short while.

It's not that Xiao Yan was unwilling to accept such a good thing.

Rather, the fact that this happened was too bizarre, and he felt uneasy about it.

But for a moment, I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange about it.

But in the end, Xiao Yan still accepted the Three Thousand Burning Flames ' offer to follow him.

However, during this time, Xiao Yan was also on guard against the sudden outbreak of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Fortunately, this didn't happen until the Three Thousand Burning Flames were completely absorbed and refined.

"Whoa~"

Even after he could summon the Three Thousand Burning Flames with a mere flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan still wore a somewhat unreal expression on his face.

"So I've already subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames?"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

"Boom"

As Xiao Yan effortlessly absorbed and refined the Three Thousand Burning Flames enhanced by Xiao Lin, his Dou Qi cultivation also broke through from the Late-Stage One-Star Dou Saint to the Early-Stage Three-Star Dou Sheng in one go!

That's right, Xiao Yan has already become Three-Star Dou Sheng in just one year since entering the Saint Realm!
