Inside the stone cave, Xiao Yan carefully placed the last Blood Flame Flower into an exquisitely crafted jade box before storing it in his Storage Ring. Afterward, he also stored the Flame Crystal in his Storage Ring. Looking at the empty stone cave in front of him, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the Yan Shi.
They cupped their hands in greeting to Yan Shi, who smiled slightly. Then, the two left the stone cave one after the other. As for the heavy stone door, without anything to protect it, there was no need to deliberately close it anymore. For a moment, a strange sense of desolation emanated from the stone cave, which still retained the scorching wind.
After leaving the stone cave, Xiao Yan and Yan Shi chatted for a long time, and their relationship progressed further. Compared to a few months ago, the two now seemed like old friends who had known each other for many years.
The next day.
As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon in the east, Xiao Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged all night atop a mountain, slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids trembling slightly.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Yan casually waved his hand, and five streams of light shot out, hovering in the void in front of him as Xiao Yan Xiao Yan of them.
The five streams of light were five Blazing Flame Crystal. Among all the Blazing Flame Crystal Flame Crystal that Xiao Yan obtained in the Yan Shi's cave, the Blazing Flame Crystals were the most precious. The fire-attribute energy they contained was not only the strongest among all the Flame Crystal, but its purity was also so high that it could be devoured and refined.
Even within the Yan Shi's cave, there are only seven Blazing Flame Crystal, unlike the others which are found in large quantities.
Looking at the five Blazing Flame Crystal in front of him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath. As long as he could condense all five Blazing Flame Crystal in front of him, then all nine avatars required for the Nine Revolutions Avatar Art would be collected.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a little excited. He wondered how much power his original body would possess when the nine avatars merged into one.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. With a thought, the five Blazing Flame Crystal moved at his will, swirling around Xiao Yan.
At the same time, the Soul Bead in Xiao Yan's mind, which contained all of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, also trembled violently. Instantly, terrifying Spiritual Strength surged out from between Xiao Yan's eyebrows, spreading rapidly in all directions from Xiao Yan's body as the center.
"Buzzing..."
An invisible Spiritual Strength condensed into a terrifying Soul Storm in the void, which quickly swept across the sky. At the same time, a terrifying pressure descended upon this world.
The next moment, with a thought from Xiao Yan, the invisible Spiritual Strength instantly condensed into countless invisible blades. As Xiao Yan's thought fell, the invisible blades tore through the void and slashed fiercely at the five Blazing Flame Crystal.
"Clang! Clang! Clang..."
With each deafening roar, waves of terrifying and vast Spiritual Strength swept across the world like tidal waves, causing the heavens and earth to tremble wherever they passed. Within a radius of thousands of miles, all living beings were filled with fear at this moment.
"Clang!"
Meanwhile, in three different directions, within three cave dwellings, Tian Ying, Yan Shi, and Xiong Gang all raised their heads at that instant, their gazes solemn as they looked towards the source of the soul pressure.
At this moment, even Murong Qianqian's pretty face finally showed a solemn expression.
"This aura... it's definitely Xiao Yan. But judging from the situation, could something have happened?"
Inside the cave, Tian Ying frowned, pondering the scene outside. Beside him, Murong Qianqian flew over from afar, a look of worry on her pretty face.
"That guy... he'll be alright, won't he!?"
Hearing Murong Qianqian's worried words, Tian Ying smiled slightly and comforted her:
"Please rest assured, Miss, Xiao Yan will be fine. He's no ordinary person. Even the three of us couldn't easily subdue him, so naturally no one else could, unless this newcomer is a Dou Di expert!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Qianqian glared at him fiercely, then pouted unhappily. Under his embarrassed gaze, she moved her delicate body and quickly flew away from the outside of Tian Ying's cave. Tian Ying did not dare to delay and quickly chased after her.
Meanwhile, in two other locations, Yan Shi and Xiong Gang also appeared outside their respective caves, stepping into the void and rapidly rushing towards the direction from which the soul pressure emanated.
In the blink of an eye, the four figures arrived outside the mountain peak where Xiao Yan was. Standing a hundred feet away in the void, they could see Xiao Yan controlling one soul blade after another.
Upon seeing this scene, the four people who rushed over were slightly taken aback. Murong Qianqian also couldn't help but frown slightly, pouting as she was about to step forward, but at the crucial moment, she was quickly stopped by Tian Ying.
"Miss, given Mr. Xiao Yan's current state, it's best not to disturb him. Otherwise, if his Spiritual Strength suffers a backlash, the consequences will be dire!"
Hearing Tian Ying's words, Murong Qianqian's temper as a spoiled young lady was finally suppressed. The thought that if Xiao Yan really suffered a backlash from his soul and was left with irreversible aftereffects made her a sinner, she would truly become one.
Filled with helplessness and curiosity, Murong Qianqian could only stand in the void hundreds of feet away from Xiao Yan, feeling the terrifying Spiritual Strength transmitted with each collision. A look of shock appeared on her delicate face.
Meanwhile, the three members of the Tian Ying joined forces and, a hundred feet away from Xiao Yan, conjured a massive Dou Qi shield that enveloped Xiao Yan and the entire void.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Half a month later, as the sound of souls colliding gradually disappeared, at a certain moment, Xiao Yan's body, which had been sitting cross-legged for half a month, finally trembled slightly.
In an instant, the terrifying soul pressure that had enveloped the entire world for half a month suddenly dissipated, and everything in the world seemed to become much lighter at this moment.
As the oppressive aura dissipated, four figures swiftly flashed across the sky, appearing before Xiao Yan in the blink of an eye.
However, just as they were about to speak, the scene that appeared before them caused the expressions on their faces to freeze instantly.
The four figures stood frozen in place like ice sculptures, their eyes wide open, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
At this moment, as Xiao Yan stood up, a group of ten figures appeared before Murong Qianqian and the others. Each of them had the same face, and even their clothes, facial expressions, and eyes were exactly the same. These ten people were practically the same person in disguise!
Among these ten people, apart from Xiao Yan at the very center of the mountain peak, the others were all incarnations of the Nine Revolutions Avatar Art.
