Jia Xingtian, Yun Shan, Gu He, and the others were shocked and furious. As they watched the Heavenly Flame shrink ever smaller, seemingly about to go out at any moment, their eyes bulged until their corners nearly split.
"Damn it!"
"Who on earth is this mysterious expert? They can actually refine it from the center of the Heavenly Flame! Such methods are simply unheard of!" Grandmaster Gu He seethed inwardly.
Heavenly Flames were hard enough to find. Now that they had been lucky enough to encounter one, not only could they not claim it, they had to watch someone else take it away. It felt just like meeting the goddess of their dreams, who had a slight fondness for them, only for her family circumstances to create distance between them-and then some tall, rich, handsome man barged in and forcefully stole her away.
Leaving aside how agitated the Dou Wangs and Dou Emperors were, Xiao Tian was feeling very comfortable right now. It felt absolutely fantastic!
Xiao Tian sensed that the Heavenly Flame was almost fully refined.
A minute later, the Heavenly Flame Origin was completely absorbed and refined! The Flame Mantra's circulation through his body instantly accelerated like a BMW turning into an Apollo supercar, his Dou Qi surging wildly as his meridians were tempered and widened.
Seven-Star Dou Shi!
Eight-Star Dou Shi!
Nine-Star Dou Shi!
Xiao Tian was stunned. After completely refining the Heavenly Flame Origin, he had jumped three minor realms in a row!
"No, this is too fast! What if it damages my foundation? This young master is going to compress the hell out of you!"
As he compressed the wildly surging Dou Qi within him, Xiao Tian actually went from Nine-Star Dou Shi down to Eight-Star Dou Shi! Five minutes later, he dropped from Eight-Star Dou Shi to Seven-Star Dou Shi!
Although the quantity of Dou Qi had decreased, it was far purer! His foundation was even more stable!
"That was seriously thrilling! There's still some Heavenly Flame outside, but absorbing more won't help. Better not expose my appearance."
"Hehe! Adamantine Staff, let's move somewhere else."
Bang!
Holding the Adamantine Staff, Xiao Tian poured Dou Qi into it and struck his own head with all his might!
One hundred percent passive! Headshot triggered!
Xiao Tian felt only a tremendous upheaval of heaven and earth and a thunderous crash in his consciousness before everything went black!
What a way to commit suicide! Had Yao Lao been there, he would definitely have given him a thumbs-up and shouted, "666!"
"Resurrection location selected!"
Resurrected in another swamp in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Tian looked toward Jia Xingtian, Yun Shan, and the others far in the distance with a beaming smile. Sorry, he said inwardly, then slipped away.
On the way, Xiao Tian checked the Flame Mantra's current grade. After refining the Heavenly Flame, it had broken through from Yellow Tier Low Grade to Xuan Tier Mid Grade!
"This feels great! If I devour another Heavenly Flame, it should reach Di Tier!"
"Time to head back and see Sister Xian'er!"
After Xiao Tian left, Gu He noticed that the distant Heavenly Flame had stopped shrinking and could not help saying, "Damn it! That person successfully refined the Heavenly Flame Origin and escaped!"
"Seal off the area! Whether he's a Dou Zong or not, we have to drag him out!"
"He probably isn't a Dou Zong expert! If he were, why would he hide and skulk around instead of simply forcing his way out?"
Jia Xingtian said, "Perhaps he's very weak right now! Refining a Heavenly Flame is no pleasant experience, after all!"
"Right!"
United against a common enemy, the Dou Wangs, Dou Emperors, and Dou Ling experts cast a net across heaven and earth, indiscriminately bombarding the sea of flames! The tremendous commotion left some powerful magical beasts trembling with fear. Have these humans gone mad?
At that moment, Xiao Tian had something of a headache. Since he could not fly, he could not get back to Sister Xian'er, and he could not summon Blue Eagle either. Clearly, Sister Xian'er had left with Blue Eagle.
"Looks like I'll have to return to Wutan City first."
"I also need to think of a way to deal with Yao Lao's questioning."
