(This little author gives his thanks!)

Hearing this, Xiao Yan realized he had long had an idea in mind, and this was the perfect opportunity to voice it.

"Teacher, I suddenly had an idea. I'm not sure whether it's feasible."

"Oh? Let me hear it."

A trace of curiosity appeared on Yao Lao's face.

What kind of idea could make his disciple say something like "I'm not sure whether it's feasible"?

Xiao Yan had always been decisive in his actions and rarely spoke with such uncertainty.

"Teacher, the Flame Mantra can devour multiple kinds of flames," Xiao Yan said slowly. "In that case, can different flames be fused together?"

Yao Lao was slightly startled.

Xiao Yan's idea could only be described as utterly insane.

Whether Beast Flames or Heavenly Flames, their natures were tyrannical and immensely destructive.

Two different flames were practically mortal enemies, utterly incompatible.

They would devour and repel one another. If two flames were forcibly brought together, the most likely outcome would be their mutual destruction in a brilliant explosion, taking everything around them with them.

But after giving it some thought, Yao Lao realized that Xiao Yan's idea truly seemed feasible.

The Flame Mantra could refine and absorb multiple flames, allowing different flames to coexist within the same host. If so, why couldn't two different flames be actively fused together?

Perhaps the flame Dou Technique created through fusion would be incomparably powerful and destructive.

At that thought, Yao Lao also felt the urge to give it a try.

With him present, Xiao Yan could not possibly come to harm.

He had once possessed peak Dou Venerable cultivation. Though he was now merely a Dou Emperor-level soul body, protecting Xiao Yan was still more than easy enough.

If it succeeded, Xiao Yan would gain another powerful trump card. If it failed, it would only be an unsuccessful attempt.

"Little Yan, this is a good idea."

Yao Lao nodded, his tone turning solemn. "But do not use your Undying Divine Flame for the experiment. First fuse two weaker Beast Flames. Once you confirm it is feasible, gradually use stronger flames for fusion. Take it step by step. Do not be rash."

"Yes, Teacher."

Xiao Yan nodded.

He had two Beast Flames stored within his body.

One was called Crimson Spirit Flame, while the other was Azure Cloud Blaze.

After previously devouring eight Beast Flames, he had fused them in pairs to create these two flames. Both had reached the high Second-Order Beast Flame grade.

Their grades were not particularly high, making them perfectly suited for the first fusion experiment.

Xiao Yan raised both hands, palms facing upward.

A cluster of brownish-red flame emerged from his right palm. Its color resembled soil soaked in blood, steady and heavy. It did not flicker quickly, yet every pulse brought a scorching wave of heat. This was the Crimson Spirit Flame.

A cluster of azure-blue flame emerged from his left palm. Its color resembled the cloudless sky of late autumn, clear and cold, yet its temperature was not inferior to the Crimson Spirit Flame in the slightest. A faint white light glimmered at its core. This was the Azure Cloud Blaze.

The two entirely different flames burned quietly in Xiao Yan's palms, each radiating the pressure unique to a Second-Order Beast Flame.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and slowly brought his hands together.

The distance between the brownish-red Crimson Spirit Flame and the azure-blue Azure Cloud Blaze grew smaller and smaller—an inch, half an inch, then two fingers' width.

Yao Lao watched nervously from the side. His Soul Power had already silently spread out, enveloping several yards around them.

If anything went wrong and the two flames exploded, he would act within one thousandth of an instant to protect Xiao Yan.

Yet to Yao Lao's surprise, the moment the two Beast Flames touched, there was no fierce repulsion or violent explosion as expected.

The flames blended in Xiao Yan's palm. Brownish-red and azure-blue intertwined like two streams flowing into the same river, gentle and smooth.

The flames did not harm Xiao Yan in the slightest. They did not even resist his will, quietly fusing together just like that.

This was no coincidence.

The Heaven-Burning Divine Art cultivated by Xiao Yan possessed a special effect: flames had no attribute conflicts between them and could be fused, separated, and reorganized at will.

In other words, even if Xiao Yan forcibly fused Yao Lao's Bone-Chilling Flame with his own Undying Divine Flame right now, no problem would arise.

Of course, with his current strength, there would only be one outcome if he did that: he would instantly be burned to ashes by the fusion of those two high-grade flames.

Being able to fuse them did not mean he could control them. Xiao Yan understood that perfectly well.

In Xiao Yan's palm, the brownish-red and azure-blue flames completely merged, condensing into a lotus platform the size of a palm.

The lotus platform was brownish-azure in color. Its layers of petals were distinct, every single petal a flame condensed to the extreme.

The lotus platform floated quietly above Xiao Yan's palm, slowly rotating. It looked so exquisite that it resembled a work of art.

But beneath that calm exterior lay a berserk force that made one's scalp tingle.

Yao Lao sensed the lotus platform in Xiao Yan's hand, and his pupils contracted slightly.

That tiny lotus platform contained an incomparably terrifying and violent power. The two Beast Flames had been forcibly compressed into the form of the lotus platform, maintaining a subtle balance with each other. Yet that balance was as fragile as a taut string, capable of snapping at any moment.

Naturally, this power amounted to nothing in Yao Lao's eyes. With his peak Dou Emperor strength, he could extinguish it with a puff of breath.

But for a Dou Spirit-level expert, if they were struck head-on by this lotus platform, they would likely be severely injured and collapse instantly, without even a chance to flee.

"Little Yan, you succeeded."

Yao Lao looked at the lotus platform in Xiao Yan's hand, a happy smile appearing on his face.

It had worked. Although its power was not especially strong at the moment, it had only fused two Second-Order Beast Flames.

If his Bone-Chilling Flame and Xiao Yan's Undying Divine Flame were fused, then that power... even a Dou Zong expert might perish, right?

Yao Lao thought further. What if several more Heavenly Flames were added?

The Flame Mantra could devour multiple flames. If Xiao Yan gathered three, four, or even more Heavenly Flames in the future and fused them all into a single lotus platform, what kind of spectacle would that be?

Dou Venerable? Dou Saint? Or perhaps... an even higher realm?

"What is this Dou Technique called?" Yao Lao asked.

The Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body continuously poured into the lotus platform in his hand without pause.

The lotus platform's balance relied entirely on his Dou Qi. If he let go of it or stopped pouring in Dou Qi, the lotus platform would instantly lose control and explode.

At that point, not only would he be finished, half of the back mountain would be blown flat.

"Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus," Xiao Yan said slowly.

"What a fine Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus."

Yao Lao nodded, approval appearing on his face.

The name was fitting. Flames condensed into a lotus, enraged and bursting forth—it truly deserved such a domineering name.

He looked at the lotus platform in Xiao Yan's hand, then at the open area around the back mountain. "Little Yan, throw the lotus platform out without worry. Leave the rest to your teacher."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned his arm, and the lotus platform in his hand shot fiercely toward an open area without rocks or trees.

The brownish-azure lotus platform silently streaked through the air, not even stirring the faintest sound of wind along the way. It spun in midair, its petals opening and closing slightly, so quiet it seemed entirely harmless.

Just as the lotus platform reached the air above the clearing and was about to lose balance and explode, Yao Lao raised his hand.

An invisible force of space flicked out from his fingertips, precisely enveloping the lotus platform.

Spatial Lock. This was a technique only Dou Zong-level experts could use, solidifying a section of space with Dou Qi and isolating everything within it from the outside world.

Although Yao Lao's strength had not recovered to the Dou Zong level, with his former peak Dou Venerable cultivation, using this technique at the Dou Emperor level posed no problem at all.

The lotus platform was sealed within that small patch of frozen space. It did not even have the chance to explode before being crushed into nothingness by the force of space, leaving no trace behind.

Seeing Yao Lao effortlessly neutralize the lotus platform, Xiao Yan asked, "Teacher, how powerful was it?"

Yao Lao withdrew his hand, pondered for a moment, then gave an accurate assessment. "Not bad. Even a Dou Spirit-level expert would be severely injured or even killed if they took that attack head-on."

A delighted expression appeared on Xiao Yan's face at those words.

A Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus created by fusing two Second-Order Beast Flames could already threaten a Dou Spirit expert. Once he gathered more and stronger flames in the future, the upper limit of this Dou Technique would be unimaginably high.
