Refining Two Great Heavenly Flames, Breaking Through to Battle Emperor!

Once the red protective layer had formed, Meng Chen circulated his battle qi, forcibly drawing the Green Lotus Core Flame toward himself.

As the Green Lotus Core Flame drew closer, the temperature rose higher and higher.

Fortunately, Meng Chen possessed a divine body and had exceptional heat resistance. This degree of heat was nothing to him.

It was not until the Green Lotus Core Flame was within arm's reach that he began to sweat.

Staring at the Green Lotus Core Flame before him, Meng Chen steeled himself and reached inside to seize its flame seed!

The hardened layer formed by the Blood Lotus Pill melted continuously, dripping into liquid, while medicinal power constantly surged from within Meng Chen to repair it.

Meng Chen was already moving quickly, yet it still took nearly half the medicinal power for him to extract the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin flame seed.

It was a mass of viscous green liquid resembling magma.

Looking at the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin flame seed, Meng Chen took a deep breath and swallowed it without hesitation.

The instant the Heavenly Flame entered his mouth, the scorching sensation nearly made Meng Chen lose consciousness on the spot.

Every inch of the meridians in his body was being burned. After entering his mouth, the Green Lotus Core Flame's origin flame seed transformed into tiny strands of blue-green flame that spread throughout his body along his network of meridians, roasting everything in their path.

Even with the blood membrane formed by the Blood Lotus Pill protecting him, it continued to melt away.

Holy shit!

Meng Chen's face turned deathly pale.

Qing Yanjing watched Meng Chen with deep worry, her pearly teeth tightly biting her lips. Yet she did not dare make a sound, afraid of disturbing him.

The five Blazing Sun Flood Dragon Markings immediately shone brightly. Like five flood dragons awakening from slumber, they unleashed their pressure in an attempt to suppress the Green Lotus Core Flame.

But how could the Green Lotus Core Flame be so easily dealt with?

Forget suppressing the Green Lotus Core Flame—the Blazing Sun Flood Dragon Markings could only barely contend with it and prevent it from spreading everywhere.

At the critical moment, his Divine Blood boiled, its aura vast and majestic!

How could the Divine King Physique allow some tiny foreign thing to run rampant within it?

A grand and sacred aura surged from Meng Chen's body, seeming to intimidate all demonic evils beneath the heavens. Even the Green Lotus Core Flame's searing heat faltered.

This aura swept through the area around the Meng Residence, allowing Yao Lao, Xiao Xun'er, and the others to sense it once more.

Although it was not the first time he had felt it, Yao Lao was still shaken.

Just what kind of person lived in that residence...?

Inside the residence, Meng Chen gritted his teeth. Thanks to the intimidation of the Divine King Physique's aura, he had finally gained a chance to catch his breath.

He guided the Green Lotus Core Flame together, restoring it to its magma-like flame seed form. Then Meng Chen desperately circulated the refinement method of the Purple Sun Incinerating World Heavenly Technique, slowly refining the Green Lotus Core Flame according to its prescribed method.

Meng Chen's golden-purple battle qi gradually seeped into the Green Lotus Core Flame. Sensing danger, the Green Lotus Core Flame began to rage. The two forces collided and tangled violently within his body.

Every collision made Meng Chen's entire body tremble violently, but it also allowed his golden-purple battle qi to penetrate deeper into the Green Lotus Core Flame.

He did not know how long the process lasted. When the refinement was finally complete, a blue sun appeared above the golden battle qi vortex in Meng Chen's dantian.

Divine radiance streamed from the blazing sun. Looking closely, one could see a blue lotus at its very center: the Green Lotus Divine Sun.

After the Green Lotus Divine Sun was successfully refined, a surging wave of natural energy merged into Meng Chen's battle qi, and his cultivation soared!

The pleasure brought by the instantaneous expansion of his battle qi left Meng Chen feeling utterly refreshed, even making him briefly feel invincible!

In the end, his cultivation settled at the Seven-Star Battle King realm.

Meng Chen slowly exhaled a scorching breath of white vapor. It carried a faint blue tint and, as it dispersed through the air, bloomed like a miniature lotus.

Damn, a lotus blossomed from my tongue.

Even Meng Chen found it novel.

He clenched his fists.

From the outside, Meng Chen seemed completely unchanged.

Only Meng Chen himself could feel the terrifying heat contained within the Green Lotus Divine Sun in his dantian.

To leap from Battle Master to Battle King, crossing two major realms in such a short time—no one would dare believe it if they heard it.

Meng Chen stood and stretched. Dense cracking sounds rang from between his bones, while every inch of flesh on his body seemed to have been tempered in fire, impurities filtered away as his physique rose to another level.

"Aunt Qing, what's wrong?"

Meng Chen suddenly cried out in surprise, because Qing Yanjing's eyes seemed to be brimming with tears of heartache.

"Aunt Qing, what's wrong? Aren't I fine?"

Meng Chen grabbed Qing Yanjing's hand and pressed it against his cheek, showing her that he was safe and sound.

Qing Yanjing wiped away her tears and said incoherently, "It's good that you're fine... it's good that you're fine..."

Meng Chen found it somewhat strange. Qing Yanjing seemed to have suddenly become even more concerned about him?

But Meng Chen did not dwell on it, because the Green Lotus Core Flame was only the first step.

"Aunt Qing, let's continue. We still have the Heart-Sea Flame."

Meng Chen said casually.

"Are you... really all right?"

Qing Yanjing's face was full of concern.

Meng Chen nodded. "Don't worry."

Gritting her teeth, Qing Yanjing took out the second jade bottle.

The Earth Spirit Pill.

This was a sixth-grade medicinal pill, of a higher grade than even the Blood Lotus Pill. Its medicinal power was long-lasting and gentle, making it one of the auxiliary pills used when refining Heavenly Flames.

Meng Chen did not swallow it immediately. Instead, he first sat cross-legged and meditated for several days, adjusting his physical condition to its peak before having Qing Yanjing take out the Heart-Sea Flame.

The deep-blue Heart-Sea Flame flowed like water. The moment it was removed, the air—which had cooled after the Green Lotus Core Flame was taken away—began to heat up once more.

Moreover, all the moisture in the air seemed to evaporate, leaving the room unbearably dry. Breathing in such scorching, dry air was extremely uncomfortable, painful and parched.

Meng Chen placed the Earth Spirit Pill into his mouth.

The instant the pill entered his stomach, a warm and enduring medicinal force spread through his body, like a thin layer of silk wrapping around his organs, bones, meridians, and flesh. It felt smooth, yet resilient.

Immediately afterward, Meng Chen fiercely circulated his battle qi and mobilized the power of the newly refined Green Lotus Divine Sun as well, suppressing and enveloping the deep-blue Heart-Sea Flame!

Perhaps because Han Feng's imprint still remained, the Heart-Sea Flame reacted far more violently than the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Moreover, its cold, burning sensation was entirely different from the Green Lotus Core Flame's explosive fury. It was as though Meng Chen had been splashed with a basin of boiling water, then placed beneath crushing pressure. The heat of fire and immense pressure bore down on him at once.

With the Earth Spirit Pill's support, most of the intense heat was kept outside.

Refining the Heart-Sea Flame could not be as simple as refining the Green Lotus Core Flame. Meng Chen gritted his teeth and endured, because the Heart-Sea Flame had a "former owner," and he still needed to erase Han Feng's imprint.

Ever since refining the Green Lotus Core Flame, Meng Chen had not left his room. Qing Yanjing witnessed all of this.

And even without Meng Chen, the Dou Qi Continent continued on. Yet his appearance had still left its mark upon the Dou Qi Continent; for instance, the name Divine Court gradually began to spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire...

A month later, Meng Chen finally succeeded.

At this moment, above the golden battle qi vortex in his dantian, there was not only the Green Lotus Divine Sun but also a water-blue Vast Sea Divine Sun formed from the refined Heart-Sea Flame.

Two suns hung in the sky.

Meng Chen circulated his battle qi. His battle qi flowed without end like a surging river, displaying the formidable strength he now possessed.

Battle Emperor!
