Chapter 33 Medicine Clan Fighting King? I'll kill you within 3 days.
"This isn't how you cultivate battle qi..." A mournful murmur, like that of a lost soul, lingered.
Within the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan's body was half-flame, and at a height of thirty feet above the ground, he flew swiftly like a shooting star.
Following a mysterious premonition, they fled into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.
He could clearly sense that it was due to the pull of his own energy that a ruin, or something else, appeared in the world.
As Xiao Yan's figure flew away, Yao Lao's half-illusory face showed a blank expression.
He felt that he was falling behind the times.
"Am I already outdated?" Yao Lao murmured, his voice still lingering in Xiao Yan's ears like a wandering ghost.
Xiao Yan's rapid progress has made him somewhat doubt the meaning of life.
What does it mean that a Battle Master can easily kill a Battle Spirit?
What does it mean to cultivate the inheritance of the Dou Di and accidentally trigger an ancient relic?
What happened to the rule that one must possess a different kind of fire to cultivate the Burning Technique? It's one thing to be able to cultivate techniques that ordinary people at the Dou Zhe stage can only cultivate at the Dou Qi stage, but what about talent and luck...?
After a moment of bewilderment, like Xianglin's wife, the old doctor shook his head violently.
The way they looked at Xiao Yan was like looking at livestock.
Gods and humans!
This is an amazing person!
"Emperor Tuoshe was born before you. Regardless of whether kings meet, there might be some truth to him avoiding your sharp edge..." Yao Chen sighed to the sky.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!
If Xiao Yan were to actually find hundreds of Dou Di caves on the continent, just as he had heard from rumors, Yao Chen wouldn't be surprised.
Since Xiao Yan has already opened it up, let's just give it to him.
"Hehe, teacher, I have a feeling you're thinking about something very impolite." Enveloped in the firelight, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, finding Yao Lao's expression quite amusing.
They had reached a relatively deep part of the Monster Mountain Range, where level 5 to 6 monsters would appear. Seeing that the strange space he sensed was not far away, Xiao Yan simply transformed into his Dharma Body state, and his speed increased again, speeding through the air without any concealment.
Such arrogant behavior immediately provoked countless roars of anger. Level 5-6 magical beasts are already considered kings of their own territory, and they are naturally quite dissatisfied with someone being so blatant in their territory.
However, by the time they realized what was happening, Xiao Yan had already run into the territory of the next magical beast.
Xiao Yan didn't care about their reactions; since he wasn't in a fatal condition, he could just take it.
The ruins wait for no one, and who knows what kind of secret realm he triggered?
"Teacher, do you think this could be related to the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map I found?"
Remembering the fragment of the map he had obtained in the Poison Master's cave, Xiao Yan transmitted his thoughts through his soul.
After examination by the old apothecary, the object was identified as a map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but the old apothecary did not detect any fire energy within it.
Xiao Yan felt that this map was not simple; it might be similar to Dragon Ball, where collecting a few items could summon the Pure Lotus Demon Flame or something.
"..." After a moment of silence, Yao Chen's lips curled into a smirk. "How could that be! Putting aside what level the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is, we're in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, in the northwest corner of the continent. Even if a strange flame appeared here, it wouldn't be the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."
"Too."
Xiao Yan nodded heavily. As soon as he spoke, he realized that this place was most likely related to other strange flames.
After all, I just got a fragment of the map, and I need to find the remaining fragments to obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, otherwise what's the point of this map?
If he were lucky enough to encounter the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame now, Xiao Yan felt that he would most likely not encounter the incomplete map, but would find it directly.
Now that we've found the fragment of the map, following the logic of Chekhov's Spear, this map will definitely play a role later on.
Xiao Yan understood everything.
"...Although I don't know what you've understood, I always feel like you haven't understood it correctly." The old doctor's lips twitched. He still couldn't figure out his disciple's thought process. His thinking was too unconventional, but that was more in line with his genius status. It's said that there's only a fine line between genius and madness.
Although Xiao Yan claims to be the Heavenly King himself when he's acting crazy...
"If this isn't the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, then what could it be?"
The flames on his body slowly dissipated, and Xiao Yan transformed back into human form from his fiery state.
I landed slowly and looked around. It was a secluded valley.
The place was deathly still, filled with a chilling aura. All the rocks in sight were black, tinged with a hint of blood, and countless small, weathered fragments of animal bones were scattered in various places.
Ancient, tragic, and desolate.
Even without unleashing his soul power, Xiao Yan could still sense that there seemed to be countless remnants of demonic beast souls here.
Although the atmosphere isn't particularly dense, considering the scene before us, this place is undoubtedly the burial ground for countless magical beasts.
It sounds terrifying, but in reality, with the erosion of time, Xiao Yan estimated that ordinary Dou Shi or even Dou Zhe level people could enter here and explore.
No matter how many terrifying monsters have died here, they all eventually return to normalcy in the face of the erosion of time.
"Then it can only be the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire." Yao Chen narrowed his eyes.
"The Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts?" Xiao Yan blinked.
He recalled the information on the Strange Flame Ranking that Yao Lao had shown him, as well as various related rumors in the martial arts world.
The Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire ranks twenty-second on the list of extraordinary flames. Born in a place where all beasts gather, it condenses the souls and bloodlines of all beasts, faintly revealing the forms of all beasts.
If this strange fire were to appear anywhere on the entire Dou Qi Continent, the most likely place would be a place like the Monster Mountain Range, where magical beasts gather.
This is one of the reasons why Xiao Yan and Yao Lao decided to come to the Monster Mountain Range for cultivation first.
With such a vast continent, finding a different kind of fire is no easy task. Coming along the way to a place where different kinds of fire might appear and trying one's luck is entirely beneficial.
Xiao Yan thought so, but Yao Lao had a different idea. He was completely awestruck by Xiao Yan's luck, and even had a bizarre fantasy: was it possible that if there was even the slightest possibility, Xiao Yan's luck could turn that possibility into reality?
"Speaking of which, do these things also have different grades?" As he strode deeper into the valley, Xiao Yan felt he had discovered a blind spot.
Since this strange fire absorbs the essence of all beasts, theoretically, its strength and ability should be related to the beasts that serve as its nourishment. There's no reason why the spiritual fire of all beasts that appears from a pile of low-level magical beast corpses should be equal in strength to the spiritual fire that appears from a pile of top-level magical beast corpses.
"There are rumors that the upper and lower limits of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire are very low, and there is more than one different fire. It seems that there have been two Myriad Beast Spirit Fires that appeared at the same time before. But their strengths are worlds apart."
"And it seems this thing can grow." Yao Chen stroked his beard.
This information is not guaranteed to be true, but it seems that there was once a powerful figure from the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan who each possessed a Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. One of them was found in some obscure corner, while the other was apparently found in an ancient battlefield of magical beasts led by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon.
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up; choosing the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire as his first type of strange fire seemed to be a very wise decision.
The deeper he went, the more he could feel that fluctuation.
It was only then that Xiao Yan roughly understood why, despite the extraordinary appearance of this valley, there were no magical beasts making their home nearby.
As Xiao Yan ventured deeper, he gradually discovered that the aura of the beast souls in this valley mostly emanated from the depths, and the original remnants had long since dissipated over time.
Only the alternate dimension he had created still retained its presence.
In just a short while, Xiao Yan stopped in front of a cave.
There is a stone door in front of the cave, but the inside is solid, covered with countless patterns resembling various magical beasts.
There doesn't seem to be a way in.
Even when they explored it with the power of their souls together, the interior was just a pure mountain, without any mystical features.
"Then I think I understand..." Recalling the state he felt when he resonated with this place, Xiao Yan began to move his body.
He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. Xiao Yan's body transformed into pure white flames, and his eyes shone brightly.
In this state, Xiao Yan was able to clearly perceive the mystery of this gate.
In view, the once solid stone door had disappeared, replaced by a semi-transparent skeleton burning with flames.
Xiao Yan tentatively reached out his hand, and without any surprise, his hand easily passed through the door. Even though he was in a state of perfect harmony of mind, energy, and spirit, he had no perception of the world behind the door after passing through it.
After that, it seems to be an independent alternate dimension.
"There should be a small world behind this, but it's more likely a broken alternate dimension." Yao Chen's eyelids twitched as he listened to Xiao Yan's description.
Could the upper limit of this ruin actually be related to the Dou Sheng level?
However, Yao Chen understood that what was there couldn't possibly be at that level. Although a Dou Sheng could create a small world, considering the actual situation, this place, which resembled a true beast tomb, was most likely just a dilapidated space.
But this also shocked Yao Chen.
The treasures inside the broken space that was separated from the Dou Qi Continent are definitely not few.
It might even lead to a complete miniature world!
More importantly, this ruin is exclusively for Xiao Yan's enjoyment!
"Although I guessed what you were thinking, teacher, I don't think it's very likely. It's like an uninvited guest showing up."
Xiao Yan scratched the flames burning on his head.
He certainly wanted to have this ruin all to himself, but whether it was following the classic formula or the actual situation, it was clear that he couldn't miss out on the part of competing for the treasure of the secret realm.
Looking back, a black dot appeared at the edge of the horizon, seemingly out of nowhere.
The black dot grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, a figure with blue battle aura wings became clearly visible.
The ability to transform battle qi into wings allows one to fly; this is an exclusive ability of a Battle King!
At this level, one can begin to borrow the power of heaven and earth to increase one's strength, which is like a watershed moment compared to the previous levels.
In the Jia Ma Empire, the Battle Kings are already the strongest at the pinnacle, each renowned and famous in their own right.
A Dou Wang-level expert...
The fire in Xiao Yan's eyes burned even brighter, and his face was filled with eagerness.
He could kill a fourth-tier magical beast comparable to a Dou Ling with a flick of his wrist, but what if he went all out and encountered a Dou Wang?
Xiao Yan was eager to test his current combat strength.
But before that, let's eat what we can first.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's body burst into flames, and the overwhelming Samadhi True Fire instantly swept across the entire valley, refining all the residual essence from the beast bones and remnant souls within, and swallowing it all into his own body.
This scene, however, caused the figure in the sky to burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! An unknown, strange fire spirit?! And it's so weak? Truly, heaven is helping Yao Nuo!!!"
High in the sky, the middle-aged man in the green robe paused for a moment, then his eyes flashed with intense joy and greed. His voice, amplified by his battle qi, clearly resounded throughout the entire valley.
The Xiao Yan below, whose entire body was made of white flames, was undoubtedly a peerless opportunity created by the heavens and earth in his eyes!
He had long heard from the elders of his clan that strange fires possessed spirits, but he had never seen one so weak yet so spiritual!
As he suddenly accelerated, his fighting spirit condensed wildly in his hand, ready to deliver a severe blow to Xiao Yan as soon as he got close.
Sensing something was amiss, Yao Chen, who had returned to the ancient ring ahead of time, narrowed his eyes.
They're actually from the Medicine Clan?!
Moreover, this fighting technique... memories flooded back to his mind in an instant, leaving Yao Chen somewhat dazed.
"Oh, so you actually want to refine me?" Feeling the terrifying fluctuations of the heaven and earth's spiritual energy gathering wildly high above, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming.
His aura surged and sublimated in an instant. A fiery ancient ruler materialized out of thin air in his hand, scorching and distorting the surrounding air. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire valley was frantically absorbed and gathered together!
Up and down, heaven and earth, with the two as the center, the primordial energy of heaven and earth is being pulled, torn, gathered and collided wildly!
Several loud explosions rang out from within his body. After activating secret techniques such as the Eight Gates Formation, Xiao Yan's combat power had been fully unleashed.
Gathering all the strength in his body from bottom to top, he cleaved out a foot-long blow!
The mighty flames soared straight into the sky, rising like a phoenix riding the clouds, rushing towards Yao Nuo's body.
Above, Yao Nuo panicked for a moment, never expecting that Xiao Yan, whom he considered easy prey, could unleash such power in an instant.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down, which is the proper state of a strange fire!
And he's different from those good-for-nothings outside!
A fierce glint flashed in Yao Nuo's eyes. Although he was a good-for-nothing in the clan, just like his teacher Yao Yun, who had once given false testimony to expel Yao Chen, the number one alchemist on the continent, he was just a lower-class member of the collateral branch.
But in the outside world, he is a member of one of the eight ancient clans, a figure of great prestige!
A peculiar green pattern appeared between Yao Nuo's eyebrows, and a medicinal fragrance wafted out. The green light in his palm also became more intense.
Possessing a fourth-grade bloodline, or even just a pseudo-fourth-grade bloodline, barely enough to draw the clan emblem, and having extremely poor aptitude, is already a devastating blow to the outside world!
boom!
Boom boom boom!!!
The two powerful fighting techniques collided, and for a moment they were evenly matched. However, as a smile flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, the enormous ruler-shaped shadow was instantly detonated a second time, and pale flames engulfed the entire sky.
"Damn it, I'm going to refine you to perfection!!!"
With a piercing scream, Yao Nuo barely managed to expel the Samadhi True Fire by relying on the soul power enhanced by the clan markings. His body was charred black, and his soul was severely injured.
However, when he was furious, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared from the valley. With wide eyes, Yao Nuo walked closer and found that the stone gate at the end of the valley had become transparent at some point.
Xiao Yan's figure was clearly among them.
"Trash is trash. Even if I give you a chance, you'll still fail. Wash your neck clean and wait, I'll kill you within three days!"
Xiao Yan gave Yao Nuo, who was unable to enter due to his impotent rage, the middle finger. He then strode forward with an air of indifference, and the transparent stone door gradually returned to its original state.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Although she was afraid that the teacher would steal her opportunity, she couldn't care less about that at the moment!
