While Gu You and Qing Mu were worried about Xiao Yan from the sidelines, Xiao Yan, who was in the eye of the storm, was also filled with helplessness and could only try his best to suppress the surging Dou Qi within him.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's feelings can only be summed up in one sentence:
Greed knows no bounds; even a snake can't swallow an elephant!
In order to absorb and refine the Dou Qi from the Hei Mu as quickly as possible, Xiao Yan swallowed it whole without much thought.
Sure enough, after all the Dou Qi of a Nine-Star Half-Emperor was unleashed within Xiao Yan's body, it ran rampant like a wild horse.
The fact that the terrifying Dou Qi didn't instantly shatter Xiao Yan's body was already a very good result.
Under Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan control of the Heavenly Flames, the initial Dou Qi was still under his control. Although it was difficult, the refining speed was much faster.
After being refined by the Heavenly Flames and condensed by the Flame Mantra, the purer Dou Qi continuously surged into the Qi Cyclone Space along the cultivation path of the Flame Mantra.
Xiao Yan's aura gradually recovered through slow refining. Although this process took a little longer, it was still faster than refining it in the medicine cauldron.
Moreover, after being refined by the Heavenly Flames, the Dou Qi directly enters the cultivation path of the Flame Mantra. In this way, the refined Dou Qi is more pure and condensed, and can be better used by Xiao Yan.
Otherwise, if he absorbed it after refining it, it would cause Xiao Yan more trouble. He would have to execute the Dou Qi along the Flame Mantra Technique several times in order to fully integrate it with the Dou Qi in his body.
Xiao Yan's idea was certainly good, and it was indeed much faster and easier, but the current result seemed to have put Xiao Yan in even greater trouble.
He hadn't expected that the Dou Qi he condensed after refining would be so vast, that Xiao Yan's Qi Cyclone Space simply couldn't contain it all.
Therefore, the resulting situation is a breakthrough that even ordinary strong individuals eagerly anticipate.
But Xiao Yan knew better than anyone that his current condition was not suitable for a breakthrough, and he was just as aware of the problems that Gu You could think of.
If I were to break through now, I'm afraid my strength would stagnate for a very long time!
However, this is not a good thing for Xiao Yan, who desperately needs strength, since the Ghost Fiend Gate will not give him extra time to cultivate.
With those devilish things' abilities, they probably already know everything about what happened to me in the Wilderness City. The next time Xiao Yan meets them shouldn't be too far off.
At this moment, in the eye of the storm, Xiao Yan's body was flushed red from the immense Dou Qi within him, and his entire body had swelled to more than three times its original size in just a short time.
Even so, Xiao Yan's body continued to grow. At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a time bomb. As long as the Dou Qi in his body reached a peak, he would explode with a bang!
In reality, Xiao Yan was in such a state at this time.
Within his body, surging Dou Qi coursed through every corner of Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, transforming him into a large, obese man.
At this moment, even if you cut a bloody gash anywhere on Xiao Yan's body, it would probably spew out a huge burst of Dou Qi.
In a short while, Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan body could no longer hold on. Ferocious bloody gashes appeared all over his body, and blood mixed with surging Dou Qi qi gushed out like a fountain.
Even so, Xiao Yan's condition showed no improvement. It seemed that Xiao Yan had no choice but to try and break through...
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan let out a roar like a dragon's howl, and a thick beam of Dou Qi shot out and disappeared into the void above Xiao Yan's head.
After this roar, Xiao Yan's body suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and in a short instant, a golden giant god appeared in the center of the storm.
And those surging Dou Qi seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, spreading out abruptly, finally giving Xiao Yan a chance to catch his breath again.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Xiao Yan quickly mobilized the Heavenly Flames within his body to prepare for cleaning up the mess, while also hoping that this accident could end there.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan underestimated the sheer quantity of those Dou Qi. Although his Vajra Glazed Body provided temporary support, the fierce Dou Qi quickly surged up within moments. However, the good news was that Xiao Yan was able to suppress it with minimal effort.
Feeling the still surging, fierce Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his spirits lifted, and a slow smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled softly:
"Hahaha... Now, you should go back home obediently!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Flames within his body suddenly rose up, rapidly spreading throughout Xiao Yan's internal organs and enveloping all the Dou Qi.
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Flames, streams of Dou Qi were gradually compressed into beads the size of a thumb, which were then enveloped by the Heavenly Flames and drawn back into the vortex.
Having endured the previous pain, Xiao Yan now acted with even greater caution, trying his best to condense every wisp of Dou Qi before carefully storing it into his Qi vortex.
Only then did Xiao Yan's expression turn positive.
As the Dou Qi returned to the vortex, Xiao Yan slowly entered a meditative state, and the Flame Mantra within his body began to circulate.
At this moment, Xiao Yan needs to condense and refine the scattered Dou Qi again. At the same time, this can also be considered a refinement of his own Dou Qi. From any perspective, the benefits to Xiao Yan are self-evident.
Within the vortex, a dazzling, Heavenly Flames guards the Qi Cyclone Space before it, refining each strand of condensed Dou Qi.
Each strand of pure Dou Qi, as thick as a thumb, was transformed into a hair-thin thread after being extremely refined by the Heavenly Flames, and was then absorbed into the Qi Cyclone Space.
When Xiao Yan finished condensing all his Dou Qi again, the original abundant Dou Qi in the Qi Cyclone Space was now mostly filled with Dou Qi that resembled a lake.
As for the remaining small portion, that is the benefit Xiao Yan gained from condensing his Dou Qi this time.
At this moment, although the Dou Qi in the Qi Cyclone Space does not seem as abundant as before, it is more condensed. When used, it will not be less than before, but the condensation effect will make Xiao Yan's Dou Qi even stronger. The remaining space is a manifestation of Xiao Yan's improved strength.
From this moment's perspective, although Xiao Yan has not yet reached the level of Four-Star Half-Emperor, he has already reached the Peak of the Late Three-Star Half-Emperor Stage. Even if he is only one step away from becoming Four-Star Half-Emperor!
When the time is right, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan will be able to make a breakthrough, and his strength will no longer have any gaps.
