Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

Then he pondered what the "Black-Hearted Venerable" had just said.

"Yao Chen? Could it be that there really is an old ghost inside my ring?"

As he was thinking this, he saw a phantom slowly emerge from the ring.

The illusory figure was semi-transparent, looking like a soul, with white hair and beard, clearly an old man.

There really was an old ghost inside his ring!

Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. Even if he didn't believe it before, he now had no choice but to believe what the "Black-Hearted Venerable" said.

Good heavens, is it this old ghost who has been draining his life essence, causing his cultivation level to drop instead of increase recently?

"Hehehehehe! Yao Chen, you've finally come out? I thought you'd stay inside the ring until you died."

The "Black-Hearted Venerable" chuckled.

Upon hearing the familiar laughter and seeing the familiar attire, Yao Chen immediately trembled.

This kind of attire, without a doubt, is that of a lackey of the Soul Palace!

"I thought I could get away with it, but I didn't expect you to find me anyway. May I ask which elder of the Soul Palace you are? I've never seen you before."

Yao Chen's current attitude seems carefree, but in reality, he has no other choice.

He was betrayed by his beloved disciple before his death, resulting in a severe loss of strength and physical death, leaving only the power of his soul. However, without a physical body, the power of his soul is too weak, and coupled with the fact that he has not yet fully recovered, he can only exert the power of a peak Dou Huang at present.

With this kind of strength, he might barely escape if he encountered a Dou Zong-level protector. But now that he's encountered a Dou Zun-level elder, forget it. It's better to fight to the death later and at least have a dignified way to die.

"Hehehehehe! I am the newly promoted Black Heart Venerable of the Soul Palace. The famous Medicine Venerable naturally does not know me, but I have long heard of the Medicine Venerable."

So said the "Black-Hearted Venerable".

Yao Chen's heart tightened immediately; it seemed the other party had come prepared.

"May I ask what business you have with me? Do you need me to concoct medicine?"

"Hehehehehe! Alchemy? In your current state, how could you possibly refine the pills I need? Let me tell you the truth, what I want from you is... that Burning Technique!"

The "Black-Hearted Venerable" first denied Yao Chen's words, then changed his tune and asked for the Burning Technique.

Yao Chen was stunned. The Burning Technique… Oh, that's the strange cultivation method that uses a different kind of fire as nourishment for leveling up. How did the other party know about it?

Yao Chen thought for a moment and immediately thought of his "good disciple". It seemed that the bastard had told the other party this news.

"Hehehehehe! I only want the Burning Technique; I'm not interested in anything else. If you obediently hand it over, I won't do anything to you. If you don't, I'll let you taste the power of the Soul Palace's soul techniques!"

Dense black energy emanated from the palm of the "Black-Hearted Venerable," which had solidified into a tangible form. It seemed that even a wisp of it could instantly kill countless people, making it look incredibly terrifying.

Xiao Yan, standing beside him, dared not move at all.

He kept silently chanting in his heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..." The two super old ghosts were fighting, and he dared not run away or try to stop them. He could only cower like a turtle.

"Your strength is formidable, and I am no match for you. But do you think you can make me hand over the Burning Technique with such threats? I am not someone who submits easily like my disciple."

Yao Chen is unyielding; even if he is currently weaker than his opponent, it doesn't mean he will submit to him.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

The black energy in the hands of the "Black-Hearted Venerable" condensed into a pure black flame, with a black vortex at the center of the flame, carrying a powerful dark devouring force.

"This...this...Void Devouring Flame...no, it should be its offspring flame. I never expected that you would be able to obtain such powerful strength. I have miscalculated."

Yao Chen's expression changed several times as he looked at the black flame with its powerful devouring force that had condensed in the "Black Heart Venerable's" hand, and he finally sighed.

"Hehehehehe! Venerable Medicine, you must know the power of the Void Devouring Flame. This wisp of fire in my hand is enough to devour everything of yours and forcibly obtain your memories. I'm giving you a chance to voluntarily reveal the secret of the Burning Technique. Don't be so shameless!"

"The Black-Hearted Venerable" then chuckled.

"I can give you the Burning Technique, but you must grant me one request. If you do not agree, I will not let you obtain the Burning Technique even if it means self-destruction!"

After Yao Chen finished speaking, his body flickered with energy, and his aura began to become unstable. Clearly, he would immediately self-destruct after being rejected by the "Black-Hearted Venerable".

As for Xiao Yan next to him, all we can do is wish him good luck.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

The "Black-Hearted Venerable" wouldn't actually push the other party to the brink; instead, he gave them a chance.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "You must know about my disciple Han Feng. I would like to ask you to bring him before me so that I may deal with him as I see fit. If you do so, I will immediately offer you the Burning Technique."

"Han Feng? I am indeed interested in him, and I agree to this. But remember this: if you dare to lie to me, I will make you regret it!"

So said the "Black-Hearted Venerable".

"That's for sure. Who on the continent doesn't believe in my character, Yao Chen?"

Yao Chen boasted to himself.

"Very well! I'll trust you this time. Wait a moment, I'll be right back. I'm off!"

The "Black-Hearted Venerable" transformed into a black flame, which then dissipated, and he vanished along with it.

"Phew... I didn't expect them to actually agree. It seems that although they are lackeys of the Soul Hall, they are at least somewhat trustworthy, better than my disciple."

After the other party left, Yao Chen began to break out in a cold sweat. It was clearly a soul, yet it possessed characteristics only a living being had; it truly made one marvel at the wonder of life.

If he had met the other party while he was still powerful, he would not have been afraid of the other party's threat and would not have had to compromise like this.

"Hey! Old man! Isn't it you who stayed in my ring and absorbed my life force, causing my strength to regress instead of improve?!"

At this moment, Yao Chen heard a very dissatisfied voice. He looked down and saw Xiao Yan, who had been ignored before.

"Kid, what do you mean by 'your ring'? This is my ring."

Yao Chen spoke up to correct him.

"Hmph! This is a memento left to me by my mother. Even if it was originally yours, it is mine now."

Xiao Yan retorted without fear. For some reason, logically speaking, this old man should be very strong and someone he shouldn't provoke, but after seeing the old man's face, he inexplicably felt no fear.

When he thought about what the other party had done before, he felt that the more he tried to hold back, the angrier he became, and the more he tried to back down, the more he felt he had lost out. So he directly confronted the other party.

"What kind of robber logic is this? You brat, you don't respect your teacher. I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"You're not my teacher, why should I respect you?"

"It wasn't like that before! It is now!"

Chapter 188 Damn it! One punch shatters the Black Corner Region!

After teleporting to a deserted place, the "Black-Hearted Venerable" changed out of his black robe and transformed back into the radiant Du Can.

"I've received another small task; it looks like I'll have to make another trip."

Du Can said this.

When he saw Yao Chen earlier, he actually wanted to snatch it directly, but fortunately he managed to stop himself from having such an evil thought.

Why would he suddenly have such an evil thought? It must be because after impersonating the Soul Hall Venerable, he actually possessed some of the Soul Hall Venerable's characteristics, and the meme contamination from that smirking laugh caused his thoughts to shift towards the Soul Hall.

All of the above is just for laughs. It's simply that after becoming stronger and more powerful, they want to break the deadlock with brute force instead of using their brains.

"We still need to use our brains. Han Feng is probably currently serving as the Medicine King in the Black Corner Region. Besides capturing him to fulfill our mission, he also has quite a few good things on him."

"The Sea Heart Flame, ranked fifteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, the Myriad Beast Cauldron, which is famous on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, and the various alchemy techniques he has mastered, should be directly inherited from the Medicine Venerable. Although his own skills are poor and he can only refine sixth-grade pills, he may have mastered seventh-grade and eighth-grade pill formulas."

"Of course, he also has half of the Burning Technique, which we can compare and see."

Du Can carefully considered the benefits he could find in Han Feng and discovered that there were quite a few.

Han Feng is weak. His peak Douhuang cultivation level is not considered top-tier in the Black Corner Region, and it's even less common than dogs in the Central State, where Dou Zun are abundant.

No one knows exactly how bad his talent is. Yao Chen supposedly raised him like a son, but after so many years, he's not even a Dou Zong.

Han Feng's talent is probably not as good as Mo Ya from the Black Emperor Sect, who was purely developed through drug use.

Du Can tore through space and time, and after several spatial shifts, he arrived at the infamous chaotic Black Corner Region of the Dou Qi Continent.

It is said that there are no laws here, and it is a state of chaos. This is mainly because a group of criminals and lawless people live here, and their strength is similar, so none of them are willing to submit to the others, making it impossible to establish laws that everyone must abide by.

However, the center of the Black Corner Region is Canaan Academy, which has a relatively good learning atmosphere on the Dou Qi Continent, which is quite unexpected.

Of course, this is mainly because Canaan Academy is powerful and strong, and no one dares to provoke it. Therefore, there are still certain rules in Canaan Academy's territory.

But anywhere else, there's a place even more violent than Gotham City.

Du Can didn't even need to use his mental power to scan other places; he could see the scene of robbery and indiscriminate killing with his naked eyes.

No one dared to intervene, firstly because everyone was unkind and too lazy to care about such a scene. Secondly, the killer was a powerful expert at the Dou Wang level.

After killing and robbing, the Fighting King seemed unsatisfied and planned to kill and rob some more, so he targeted Du Can, who looked the youngest and weakest among those present.

"Boy, you're so young, you must be a student at Canaan Academy. Let me teach you the rules of the Black Corner Region: you must kneel down to greet a strong person!"

The Fighting King slashed down with his sword, and then he knelt down.

"Oh, that's true. Well then, you can kneel down properly."

Du Can glared at him, and the powerful mental pressure directly pressed the Dou Wang to the ground, making him kneel and unable to stand up.

"You...no! You are..."

When the Fighting King realized he had encountered a master, his attitude immediately softened. He trembled all over and wanted to beg for mercy.

However, Du Can was too lazy to talk to him anymore and directly used his powerful mental energy to forcibly search the Dou Wang's memories.

Du Can was new to the area and didn't even know where Han Feng lived, so he needed a local to guide him.

He was initially worried about who to turn to when suddenly someone popped up – and this person was such a kind soul!

"Found it, Han Feng's Fengcheng. It's quite close to here, so it's on the way."

After searching through his memories, Du Can had a thought, and a black flame ignited.

This black flame is a special flame formed by combining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame with the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. He had used this to scare Yao Chen before, and it really felt very much like the Void Devouring Flame.

The black flames burned the Battle King to ashes in an instant, leaving not a single trace.

The previously indifferent onlookers were immediately horrified upon witnessing this scene.

"Hiss... He actually killed the Great Sword King of the Black Dragon Society, and burned him to death with black flames in an instant. This strength is probably considered formidable even among Dou Huangs. Just who is this person?"

"Hiss... What kind of flame is that? It doesn't look like an ordinary flame at all. It looks more like a strange fire?"

"Hiss... The Blood Sect people are nearby. They hate people with special flames. They'll probably fight him to the death."
