More than three months have passed since the eruption of the Pill Lightning that day. During this time, Xiao Yan has been sitting cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron with his eyes closed, standing as still as a stone statue. Strengths of suction emanate from his body, constantly drawing in the power of heaven and earth around him.
Whether it was due to the Soul-Forging Pill or because Xiao Yan had previously subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, this time the absorption and refinement was much smoother than before. Although the Heavenly Flames was powerful, it seemed to have a unique affinity for Xiao Yan. This time, both the refining speed and the absorption were much easier, which meant that Xiao Yan no longer had to worry about his life.
Of course, despite this, Xiao Yan did not dare to be reckless throughout the process. After all, it was Heavenly Flames, and its power should not be underestimated. Although everything went smoothly, if he became too careless and lost his way, it would probably bring him irreversible consequences. Fortunately, Xiao Yan was a cautious person by nature, and even in the face of such a situation, he was still able to keep his composure, which made the whole process much more stable and peaceful.
With Luo Xiong and the others' keen eyesight, they could see Xiao Yan's condition to some extent. Although they were somewhat surprised by Xiao Yan's actions of refining the Heavenly Flames, they were relieved since everything was safe and sound. After learning that he was in a breakthrough and advancement phase, a large area where the Heavenly Formation Platform was located was forcibly isolated, and no one except Bai Hua and the others was allowed to approach it easily.
Since he is at a critical stage of breakthrough, if Xiao Yan is disturbed by the outside world at this time, the losses would be enormous. Moreover, he is devouring a Heavenly Flames. If the Heavenly Flames gets out of control, it would be a great harm to both Xiao Yan personally and Heavenly Cloud Manor.
Although some ordinary disciples of the mountain manor were curious, under the strict supervision of the elders, they could only retreat dejectedly. Their gazes were fixed on the blurry black-robed figure at the center of the Heavenly Formation Platform, and many showed a hint of awe. At this age, he was not much different from some of the younger generation in the manor, yet his achievements were comparable to those of some of the manor's elders. Thinking of this, the awe in the eyes of the mountain manor disciples deepened even further; Xiao Yan's achievements were indeed worthy of their respect.
Under the watchful eyes of countless gazes, Xiao Yan on the stone platform was completely absorbed in refining the Heavenly Flames within his body, as if he had lost all awareness of the outside world. As he frantically refined the Heavenly Flames within his body, the energy of heaven and earth in the area around him was also affected.
Outside, when Luo Xiong and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. Under their perception, they discovered that Xiao Yan's aura was rapidly becoming stronger as the energy of the world continued to gather, so that it seemed to have reached the peak of the Origin Emperor. Even if it was the realm of the Origin Sect, it was only one step away...
Under the azure sky, there were no clouds for miles, just a clear blue expanse.
Bai Hua stood suspended in mid-air, dressed in white, with a calm expression. When a gentle breeze blew, her sleeves billowed and billowed in the wind, attracting the attention of many people in the manor. In particular, some girls were captivated by her elegant and otherworldly appearance.
Ignoring the distracting gazes, Bai Hua stared intently at the stone platform below, her brows furrowed, a hint of worry in her expression.
Because of the barrier, even he couldn't see what was happening inside, but he could sense that Xiao Yan was frantically absorbing the surging energy of heaven and earth around him. Although this wasn't a bad thing, it was related to the Heavenly Flames, so he didn't dare to relax.
Recalling the last time Xiao Yan went to find the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it took three years. However, this time, in just three months, Xiao Yan has already reached such a level, which inevitably makes him somewhat worried.
"If only Senior Long Lin were still here..."
With a helpless sigh, he realized that since Long Lin and Xiao Jin had been summoned back by the Dragon Clan two months ago, it was no longer possible to use Long Lin Yuan Zun's cultivation to investigate Xiao Yan's situation.
With a bitter laugh, Bai Hua slowly turned around, about to leave. But just as she turned, a terrifying energy surge suddenly erupted from the stone platform.
The instant the energy fluctuation was emitted, Bai Hua suddenly turned around, his expression changing rapidly. His eyes flashed as he looked at the stone platform with a worried expression. His Origin Qi was already circulating within him, ready to rush forward to save people should anything go wrong!
"It's over?"
Immediately afterward, Luo Cheng and the others hurriedly flew over. Before they could finish speaking, Bai Hua solemnly shook his head and said:
"No, it's just the beginning."
"Bang!"
The moment the words fell, a figure slowly rose from the stone platform below. Intense energy fluctuations spread out from Xiao Yan's body, forming a storm that distorted the surrounding void and even caused the stone platform beneath his feet to tremble. Invisible and tangible purple flames swirled wildly around him, and the energy of heaven and earth surged violently.
At the same time, the aura emanating from Xiao Yan's body was also rapidly increasing...
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across the area, causing the expressions of many elders from the manor present to change instantly. At this moment, Xiao Yan's cultivation had clearly already entered the Yuan Zong!
In just three months, he went from Five-Star Origin Emperor to breaking through the Yuan Zong in one fell swoop, which is truly astonishing!
However, this was not the end. Although his cultivation had already broken through, the aura within Xiao Yan's body was still rapidly increasing. Judging from this, there was no sign of him stopping at all. This momentum was even heading straight for the Two-Star Yuan Zong!
This scene shocked most people even more. To go from Five-Star Origin Emperor to Yuan Zong in just three months was already astonishing. If he were to break through to Two-Star Yuan Zong now, wouldn't that be absolutely unprecedented!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan's aura surged dramatically, reaching the Late One-Star Yuan Zong in just a few minutes. Only then did the rapid increase in his aura gradually slow down...
"Receive!"
But at that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, his arms trembled, his five fingers spread open, and a suction force surged out from his palms, drawing in the two Heavenly Flames that were swirling around him and perfectly fusing them together. As the two Heavenly Flames completely merged, the enormous energy generated also caused Xiao Yan's cultivation to rise again, even breaking through to a new level!
Yuan Zong, two stars!
