Breaking the Masked Man

"Is the young master interested in it?" Mo Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he asked in a low voice.

“I’m interested in his cultivation techniques and fighting skills… I’ve recently been thinking of creating a cultivation technique that suits me, and the fighting skills he displayed are quite interesting.” Yao Yan put the scroll into his storage ring and said softly.

"As expected of that master's disciple, he has such thoughts at such a young age..." Upon hearing this, Soul Palace Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu thought to himself, his tone becoming even more respectful: "Young master may not know, but the Heavenly Nether Sect was actually supported by our Soul Palace, but on the surface, it has not had much contact with the Soul Palace... If young master is interested in their sect's techniques and fighting skills, just let me know, and I can fetch them for you."

Many of the Heavenly Nether Sect's cultivation techniques and fighting skills are collected in the Soul Hall. In fact, cultivation techniques and fighting skills that do not reach the Heavenly Rank are not valued too much.

Yao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, then he looked at Mo Yu and said in a deep voice, "Then make a copy of both, I want them all... Afterwards, I will trouble the Nine Heavens Venerable to deliver them to the Ice River Valley. I will stay in the Ice River Valley for a few days. Consider this a personal favor I owe the Nine Heavens Venerable. If there is any trouble, the Nine Heavens Venerable can invoke the name of our teacher."

“It’s not troublesome at all. Young Master, please wait a day or two. I will personally deliver the cultivation techniques and combat skills to you then… In fact, with your status and talent, Young Master, if you were to return to the Soul Clan, such matters would become extremely easy. You might even be able to access Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills!” Mo Yu said solemnly.

He had no doubt about Yao Yan's future. With the talent Yao Yan had shown, even the geniuses and prodigies within the Soul Clan might not be able to compare. In addition, Yao Yan's master was Soul Void Child, and he was bound to become a big figure in the Soul Palace in the future. If he didn't curry favor with him now, would he wait until the other party grew up?

Sometimes, choice is far more important than effort!

"No rush, let's start with low-level cultivation techniques and combat skills... The cultivation difficulty of Heaven-rank techniques is too high, it's not a good thing to rashly come into contact with them." Yao Yan's tone was calm, and his expression was indifferent, carrying a sense of maturity and composure.

"I was being nosy," Mo Yu chuckled dryly, paused, and continued, "I'll go prepare now... Ice River, take good care of the young master. If anything happens to him, Ice River Valley has no reason to exist."

"I understand!" Binghe replied in a deep voice, his heart filled with bitterness.

He didn't understand how he could have offended such a big shot. To be addressed with such respect by the Nine Heavens Venerable Demon Rain, the other party was obviously a big shot in the Soul Clan. Such a person should not stay in the Soul Clan's territory. Why would he personally come down to the scene? Could it be that he was just playing around?

Compared to those ancient families, Zhongzhou was no different from a barren land.

The so-called prosperity depends on what it is compared to.

Having stood at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent for ten thousand years, one can easily imagine the extent of the resources it has accumulated.

After giving his instructions, Mo Yu bowed respectfully to Yao Yan once again, then tore open space and left to prepare the cultivation techniques and fighting skills that Yao Yan needed. As for the original spot, the massive Li Huo Formation still enveloped and released its power, the scorching temperature almost distorting space, and the crimson light turning this world into a world of flames.

"Valley Master, there's no need to be so wary. My identity is special, and there are some things that cannot be revealed. Valley Master, just treat me as a junior of the Medicine Venerable. As for more... knowing too much will not benefit you in any way. If outsiders ask later, just say that you have reached an agreement with me and that I have a way to help condense the Innate Calamity Poison Body." Yao Yan looked at the uneasy Binghe and reassured him.

Upon hearing this, Hyoga breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

……

at the same time.

The people of Ice River Valley outside were stunned to see their Valley Master covered by a massive flame array. They couldn't understand how the young man had done it. How could a nine-star Dou Zong force a four-star Dou Zun to such an extent? Even with a soul power at the Heavenly Realm level, it shouldn't be like this.

Yi Chen, whose bones were broken in countless places, also had an unpredictable expression, showing shock, anger, disbelief... but more than anything, jealousy. Why couldn't that person be him!

At this moment, he felt no fear whatsoever; in fact, a murderous intent arose deep within him. He intended to use his Blood Evil Technique to devour everything Yao Yan possessed and make it his own. If Binghe couldn't defeat Yao Yan today, he would prepare to call for reinforcements!

"brush!"

Just then, three streaks of light suddenly shot down from the sky, and three terrifying pressures swept across the heavens and earth like a tsunami.

The newcomers turned out to be three powerful Dou Zun experts!

The Ice River Valley Elder, Tian Shuangzi, who was originally preparing to support Ice River, froze. Looking at the three people shooting towards him from the sky, he instantly recognized two of them from their auras and couldn't help but call out, "Venerable Wind! Venerable Heavenly Sword!"

The two ignored him, their gazes fixed intently on the formation below.

Venerable Tianhuo's eyes flashed as if he were looking at a work of art, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Good lad, he has really figured out the Five-Round Fire Technique. He actually thought of using the method of fusing different fires to amplify its power!"

Perhaps only Yao Yan in this world could pull off such a feat. Even if an ordinary person could control several different flames, it would be difficult to fuse and combine the flames to increase their power.

This reminds me of the Fire Lotus Fighting Technique that Yao Yan used earlier.

He suddenly shuddered, because according to Yao Yan's line of thinking, the power of the Five-Round Fire Technique could be stacked almost infinitely. In that instant, Venerable Tianhuo's mind began to open up, and many ideas he had never had before emerged one after another, making his eyes burn with fervor.

"Shall we make a move?!" The Iron Sword Venerable looked at the Wind Venerable and asked, his blood-stained longsword humming and radiating sword intent.

Venerable Wind frowned, unsure of what to do for a moment.

"No need, I taught Yao Yan this formation. As long as this formation is not broken, he will be invincible within it, and no one can hurt him... Haha, this kid is truly a prodigy. I was worried before that he lacked a different kind of fire and would not be able to bring out the full power of the Five-Round Fire Technique. I didn't expect him to find another way. With such power, even if we went in, our fate would not be good!" Venerable Tianhuo was in a great mood and laughed loudly.

While the claim of invincibility is certainly an exaggeration, Yao Yan's current state is undeniably impressive given the stability of the Li Huo Formation.

Just as the three were talking.

The fiery array below suddenly collapsed and dissipated at an extremely fast speed, while two figures appeared in everyone's sight.

Almost instantly.

The figures of Venerable Feng and his two companions appeared beside Yao Yan, warily watching the Valley Master of Ice River Valley opposite them. When they saw his miserable appearance, the three of them looked at each other in dismay, and then looked at Yao Yan, who was shirtless. It was hard to imagine that the other party could have forced the Valley Master of Ice River Valley to this point.

The opponent is a renowned expert from Zhongzhou; his combat prowess is proven through battle, not boasted about.

Even if Yao Yan possessed soul power at the Heavenly Realm level, he shouldn't have been beaten to this state. After all, soul power is far less powerful than battle qi in combat, especially given the huge difference in their battle qi levels.

However, what surprised the three of them even more was what happened next.

The Valley Master of Ice River Valley's expression changed, then he smiled and cupped his hands to Yao Yan, saying, "Then we will do as you wish, young friend. As long as you can do it, everything that happened today will be considered as if it never happened, and Ice River Valley will treat you as an honored guest!"

"I will do as the Valley Master wishes," Yao Yan nodded in agreement.

Ice River glanced at Wind Venerable and the others, then turned and flew towards the group from Ice River Valley.

"What...what's going on?" Venerable Feng looked at Yao Yan in astonishment upon seeing this scene and asked.

"We fought, then negotiated. I helped him find a way to condense the Innate Calamity Poison Body, and he gave me the secret method to condense the Calamity Poison Body~" Yao Yan said succinctly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"You won?" Iron Sword Venerable stared at Yao Yan and asked in a deep voice.

“Neither won nor lost… but if we keep fighting, I’m pretty confident I can wear him down!” Yao Yan pursed his dry lips, his eyes slightly cold, and said slowly.

This battle was worthwhile. He roughly assessed his current combat strength. With all his methods employed, no one below the level of a five-star Dou Zun should be able to kill him. In fact, if the fight dragged on, he was confident that he could wear down his opponent. His strength lay in his endurance. He could even completely ignore the aftereffects of his quasi-heavenly-rank cultivation technique and freely absorb the energy of heaven and earth to restore his Dou Qi.

The problem of pure fighting spirit was perfectly solved by the strange fire.

Damage to the meridians is also healed by the body's self-healing power.

Various blessings.

He hardly needs to worry about the issue of battle qi. As long as he doesn't encounter a veteran Dou Zun like Mo Yu and get killed in one move, he can continue fighting against him.

"..." Venerable Feng was rendered speechless. He hadn't expected Yao Yan to be serious. He thought the other party was using the Heavenly Demon Puppet to restrain Ice River Valley and the others, but he never expected Yao Yan to go straight in and almost win. If this matter were to spread, Yao Yan's name would undoubtedly resound throughout the entire Central Continent.

However, it seems that's about right now. Some are just waiting to see how it goes. Once it refines a few more pills and shows itself to the public, it will probably become the next 'Medicine Venerable'.

the other side.

Just as Ice River Valley finished explaining to everyone, Yi Chen couldn't hold back any longer. He stared intently at Ice River Valley and said, "So, Valley Master is just going to let this kid off like this?!"

"Those three Dou Zun, can't you see them? It's better to make enemies than enemies, especially since this kid is exceptionally talented. It's better to befriend him than to make enemies. Yi Chen, I advise you not to offend him. His future achievements are beyond our imagination!" Binghe kindly reminded him. He had previously admired Yi Chen quite a bit.

Yi Chen, however, did not sense Binghe's goodwill. He only felt that Binghe had backed down. He stared intently at Yao Yan's location and said coldly, "Since the Valley Master is unwilling to pursue this matter, I will handle it myself!"

It's just calling in reinforcements, right? It's not like he can't afford to!

With four different flames and that kid's special physique, he was enough to persuade the elders of the Heavenly Nether Sect to take action for him.

"Foolish..." Binghe thought to himself when he saw the killing intent in Yi Chen's eyes. He then controlled a black snowflake to drift towards Yi Chen. Such a foolish junior would only be a menace if kept alive. In order to prevent him from causing trouble for him, he had no choice but to eliminate him.

As for how to explain this to the Tianming Sect afterwards... the two words "Yao Yan" are the best explanation!

The heavily injured Yi Chen did not notice the falling black snowflakes until a strong drowsiness overwhelmed him. He then felt something was wrong, but it was too late, and he passed out.

Seeing this, Tian Shuangzi was puzzled, but before he could ask anything, he heard Binghe's cold voice: "It's all taken care of. I'll give instructions to the Tianming Sect."

"Yes, Valley Master!" Tian Shuangzi dared not ask any further questions and replied with his hands clasped.

Subsequently.

He then saw his Valley Master take Yi Chen's storage ring and walk back to where Yao Yan and the others were. His posture clearly indicated that he wanted to make friends, but he offended the Tianming Sect for this. Was this something a smart person should do?

Tian Shuangzi didn't understand.

……

……

Glacier Valley is located in a glacial valley; stepping into it is like entering a world of ice and snow.

At this moment, in the deepest secret chamber, Yao Yan looked at the things laid out on the table, a slight smile appearing in his eyes. He suddenly felt that the identity of Hun Xuzi's disciple was very useful, especially when he needed any cultivation resources.

If the other party is genuinely trying to mentor him, he would really like to treat them as his teacher!

Unfortunately, Hun Xuzi had ulterior motives.

“The hatred of youth will always accompany one throughout life…” Yao Yan sighed softly in his heart, and put away the azure blue magic core on the table in a jade box. This magic core was naturally the magic core of the Xuanbing Toad King. Faced with the encirclement and killing of three Dou Zun, its fate was already destined.

After dealing with the magic core, his gaze fell upon the storage ring on one side and the two dark gray scrolls.

The storage ring belonged to Yi Chen; it was sent to him by Binghe not long ago.

The soul imprint on it had already dissipated, and Yi Chen's fate was obvious. As his soul power entered it, he quickly took out the two scrolls. One of them was scarlet and looked extremely strange.

"Evil Blood Technique..." Yao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and his soul power permeated into them. Soon, a strange technique appeared in his mind, causing his expression to change slightly.

Because this technique is extremely strange and lacks precise level classifications, it belongs to a kind of secret method that can devour human blood, fighting spirit, and souls to nourish itself. This method is very similar to that of the Devouring Spirit Clan, only at a lower level. After all, the cultivator cannot completely digest the fighting spirit and soul of others, which easily leaves aftereffects, such as impure fighting spirit, and even affects their own intelligence. The blood-red light that flashed in Yi Chen's eyes earlier was a sign of madness. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 245 Return to Saint Pill City

The Evil Blood Technique is not long, only about 10,000 words, but every word is extremely evil. The entire technique involves devouring the flesh, blood, fighting spirit, and soul of others. The cultivation conditions are extremely harsh. Only those who have reached the Dou Wang level can cultivate it. Once they succeed in cultivating it, they will embark on an evil path.

A dead end with no end!

Because the Evil Blood Technique does not provide any boost to one's cultivation speed, unlike other cultivation methods, its cultivation path is only one: devouring others. As long as you devour enough, your battle qi cultivation will rapidly increase, and reaching the Dou Zong level at the age of twenty is extremely easy, as long as your body can withstand it.

“Interesting…” Yao Yan’s eyes flickered slightly as he put down the Evil Blood Technique and then looked at another gray scroll.

This is a high-level Earth-rank combat skill called the Heavenly Netherworld Asura Hand, one of the ultimate techniques of the Heavenly Netherworld Sect. This combat skill is paired with the Evil Blood Technique, and can help the cultivator devour the flesh, blood, fighting spirit, and even soul power of others. It is an extremely difficult combat skill to cultivate, and its power is extremely domineering.
