Chapter 501 Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Ancient Emperor's Cave

After extracting the five rare Dou Zun corpses from the flames, Xiao Yan focused his mind and made a judgment. In a moment, he confirmed his guess through these corpses.

These people had indeed accepted the secret techniques of the Soul Palace, and to have reached such strength, they were undoubtedly from the Lion Nether Sect.

However, they had been cultivating for too long, and although their strength was countless times greater than that of Yunshan, their physical constitution had completely changed.

Even though Xiao Yan had thoroughly studied the initial version of the Burning Technique for reviving people, and his cultivation method had been greatly improved, he still could not reverse the damage to the bones whose foundations had been destroyed by relying on the effects of the strange fire.

If these remains are used for resurrection, it will be difficult to achieve the perfect resurrection of a person as the Burning Technique series of skills.

Once the usage period expires, the bones break, and the soul is once again without a body to reside in. This is far more damaging than the transformation from a living person to a soul, and the soul may simply be completely destroyed.

Xiao Yan examined the situation carefully for a while, thinking to himself that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

If we could refine a ninth-grade elixir to help strengthen the corpses and repair the damage caused by the Soul Palace's secret techniques, they would become good corpses again.

However, ninth-grade pills are far more precious than this Dou Zun corpse. Instead of wasting time collecting materials for ninth-grade pills, it would be better to find some other powerful and suitable corpses.

The temperature of the Emperor Flame suddenly surged, and the energy contained in the five Dou Zun corpses was completely refined. With a bang, it turned into a bewitching red powder that drifted into the sky.

After destroying the corpse, Xiao Yan immediately dispelled his Flame Emperor form.

This secret technique is powerful, but the energy consumed with each breath is quite considerable.

Fortunately, his body had opened up a vast space within, where countless powerful beings provided energy; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to maintain his strength.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." Having eliminated all rivals, Xiao Yan muttered this, his hands suddenly forming a hand seal, and he uttered a low shout, "Red Lotus Karmic Flame, condense!"

"Karmic fire," a Buddhist term, means that evil deeds harm the body like fire, and also refers to the fires of hell that burn sinners. In Buddhism, karmic fire is used as a metaphor for the harm that evil deeds inflict on the human body, like being burned by flames.

In ancient Hinduism, karmic fire is considered a sacred flame, representing reincarnation and purification, capable of eliminating people's sins and granting them a better destiny in the next life.

In the entire Dou Qi Continent, which place is more famous for evil than the Black Corner Region?

The Divine Weapon Order was distributed throughout the entire Black Corner Region. Such a large-scale operation was naturally not without reason.

First, the forging of divine weapons requires the assistance of countless people to complete the final steps, absorbing the bombardment of various attribute battle qi, so that the forged Soul-Severing Stone can have the effect of multiplying into millions, and is more likely to be countered by attributes.

Following the path of the Burning Technique, Xiao Yan did not care about the initial strength, because he could level up sooner or later.

Zi Yan, who is of the same lineage as him, is also well-versed in this aspect of weapon crafting.

Although the people of the Black Corner Region are weak, that doesn't matter, as long as they can provide attributes.

Secondly, for the Flame Alliance to completely unify the various forces in the Black Corner Region, visiting each one individually would be too time-consuming. It's no longer the time when he first entered the Cloud Empire; there are now better methods for developing the Flame Alliance, eliminating the need for him to do everything himself.

Finally, it was all for the purpose of condensing the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame. This group of villains, including Xiao Yan himself, was gathered to condense the powerful flame from the Strange Flame Ranking.

If we were to ask who among everyone present had killed the most people, it would undoubtedly be Xiao Yan.

All the major and minor factions in the Izumo Empire that opposed the Poison Sect's invitation were wiped out by him. The combined number of these factions was absolutely terrifying.

The key is that he became more and more courageous in battle and was not chased to the ends of the earth. He escaped to the Black Corner Region and developed there.

Instead, as their strength grew, the Poison Sect rapidly expanded and eventually dominated the entire Izumo Empire.

However, the unexpected addition of five Dou Zun from the Lion Nether Sect to the entire plan made Xiao Yan quite overjoyed.

This is a very rare source of energy.

As Xiao Yan's hand seals danced rapidly, it was as if countless brilliant stars were ignited in the air. They seemed to be given life, leaping joyfully, and finally converging into a magnificent sea of ​​stars, surrounding Xiao Yan within it.

In this sea of ​​stars, the flames of the Emperor's Flame burn proudly like a queen, not only scorching the air, but also invisibly drawing upon the sins and cycles of all things in the world.

Xiao Yan, burdened with heavy karma, is a crucial element in the refining process.

His eyes were firm and profound, as if they could see into the essence of all things in the world.

Under his guidance, the free energy released by the Emperor's Flame was no longer a simple flame, but transformed into a mysterious power that carried people's evil deeds and purification.

As the secret technique deepened, the people around began to feel an unprecedented heat.

Beneath their skin, red veins shimmered with an eerie light, like ancient totems awakened.

These red lights are the "karmic fire" transformed from the unspeakable sins deep within their hearts.

Summoned by the secret technique, they detached from their physical bodies, transforming into streams that converged towards Xiao Yan's location.

The karmic fire on Xiao Yan's body is the largest and most dazzling.

It was like a roaring fire dragon, swirling and rising around Xiao Yan, intertwining with the gathered karmic flames to create a breathtaking scene.

In this ocean woven from karmic fire and purifying energy, Xiao Yan began his final fusion.

He guided and refined these seemingly contradictory yet interdependent energies in an extraordinary way.

His hands seemed to possess magic; every wave of his hands could trigger violent fluctuations in the surrounding energy.

As time went by, the originally scattered energy began to gradually condense and take shape.

They first transformed into a blurry red light, and then, under Xiao Yan's meticulous carving, gradually revealed the true form of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame.

This flame is as beautiful and alluring as a blooming lotus flower. It possesses both domineering power and majesty, as well as the gentleness and compassion of purification and reincarnation.

Finally, when the Red Lotus Karmic Fire fully solidified, the entire world was shaken.

It seemed to have become a symbol of all evil and purification in the world, quietly floating in Xiao Yan's palm.

The formation of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire did not end the process; it was still rapidly absorbing the energy refined by the five Dou Zun of the Lion Nether Sect.

It is with the support of such energy that the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire will be much stronger than other strange fires after they are formed.

With the massive absorption of energy, the power of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire continued to rise.

Battle King, Battle Emperor, Battle Master...

Immediately afterwards, the enchanting lotus flower slowly bloomed, its petals swaying in the wind and shimmering with a rich, deep red light.

Within the ball of light, a graceful figure slowly stepped out and appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

Her attire, like a pink and white scene in spring, painted a beautiful picture. Her lips were tinged with peach, delicate and gentle; jade beads and silver bangles adorned her ears, noble and graceful.

The silver crown, inlaid with red and orange gemstones, shines warmly like the morning light, while the silver lotus petals sway gently, exuding vitality, elegance, and mystery.

Her flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, dancing in the wind, a blend of gentle beauty and untamed grace. Peach-pink cloud-patterned hand guards encased her hands, their delicate lines telling ancient tales. Silver bracelets jingled softly, a melodious sound. Wedge-heeled cloud-patterned boots elongated her figure, adding a touch of effortless elegance.

Her amber eyes were deep and bright, with thick, fan-shaped eyelashes that curled upwards at the corners, exuding charm and allure. A touch of pale yellow eyeshadow added to her delicate and gentle beauty. Her lingerie was simple yet sexy, adorned with shimmering silver rings; her cheongsam was a classic black and white, perfectly showcasing her graceful figure.

A dark blue sash cinches her waist, accentuating her slender figure; a peach-pink belt adds a touch of youthful charm. A peach-colored cape is embroidered with dark blue patterns, interwoven with red lotuses and peonies, exuding a sophisticated and refined air. The white skirt is trimmed with brocade, its intricate patterns conveying nobility and elegance.

She was like a fairy from a painting, her extraordinary beauty evident in every detail. Her captivating charm was mesmerizing, drawing one's gaze and inspiring longing.

As the light flickered, the woman's appearance rapidly changed.

Her golden-red dress and snake-like hair instantly transformed her from a delicate flower into a bloodthirsty enchantress; the off-shoulder design highlighted her unrestrained and wild nature.

Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the Crimson Lotus Fire Spirit and simply made a hand seal.

"By imperial decree, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, return to your rightful place!"

The Endless Fire Domain released invisible waves that instantly absorbed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Spirit.

With the energy refined by those five six-star Dou Zun, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame was completely condensed, giving it the strength of a one-star Dou Zun.

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't overlook this opportunity to greatly improve his strength.

After the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame stabilized within the Endless Fire Domain, Xiao Yan immediately activated his cultivation technique to its peak, absorbing the energy of the fire spirit.

In an instant, Xiao Yan's strength changed at a speed visible to the naked eye once again.

The strange fire is closely related to Xiao Yan's cultivation technique, so the energy that Xiao Yan can obtain from the strange fire far exceeds that of other beings.

After rapidly fusing the strange fire, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, still feeling unsatisfied.

"If I were to acquire another strange fire, I could immediately break through to the three-star Dou Zun level. Moreover, with this powerful strange fire, my Yuanling True Scripture cultivation technique has been significantly improved, narrowing the gap between it and high-level Heaven-rank cultivation techniques."

Exhaling slowly, Xiao Yan flew downwards to arrange the next steps for the Flame Alliance.

Now that the elites of Demon Flame Valley, Black Emperor Sect, and some other forces have all died here, it will be difficult for any force in the Black Corner Region to resist the Flame Alliance.

The Flame Alliance naturally had to begin accepting those forces that had submitted, making the command of the entire Black Corner Region singular.

Meanwhile, forces like Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect have collected a lot of good stuff, and those treasure troves must be gathered into the Flame Alliance as soon as possible.

After arranging everything, Xiao Yan took Ya Fei and Zi Yan into the Endless Fire Domain and rushed towards Canaan Academy at top speed.

He has almost finished analyzing the blood of the Ancient Void Dragon, and the weapon has been successfully forged. It's time to try to open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave at the bottom of the magma.

Returning to Canaan Academy at breakneck speed, Xiao Yan's figure crashed into the sea of ​​lava and fire like a meteorite.

Along the way, a vacuum zone emerged, and the magma within was directly shattered into nothingness.

"Boom boom boom!"

It rushed forward with unstoppable momentum, and the color of the surrounding lava had gradually changed from crimson to dark red.

When the magma turned this color, Xiao Yan's speed decreased slightly, and he once again felt a surge of abundant fire-attribute energy.

Even at his current level, this energy still brings immense benefits.

As things changed, Xiao Yan summoned Medusa while continuing his descent.

After a long while, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the end of the lava.

Although there was still endless magma before him, Xiao Yan could sense that it was a spatially layered existence, containing a universe within.

"Buzz!"

As Xiao Yan touched the magma, it rippled, and Xiao Yan's hand vanished.

With a fervent throbbing in his dark eyes, Xiao Yan hesitated only slightly before gritting his teeth and taking a sudden step forward, directly entering the space at the bottom of the magma!

"laugh!"

As the entire body stepped into that mysterious space, the sound of flowing magma that had been filling the ears suddenly stopped.

What appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes was an endless space that was somewhat dark and silent.

This space has been silent for countless years, and the entire space is filled with an ancient and weathered atmosphere.

Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept across the space. All he saw was emptiness, with nothing unusual about it. He frowned slightly and cautiously moved forward.

Xiao Yan flew through the empty space for several minutes before stopping. His gaze was fixed on a distant place where a faint light appeared.

Xiao Yan stared at the ball of light and resolutely flew closer. Inside the ball of light was a towering stone gate tens of thousands of feet high, standing in the boundless void, exuding an ancient and wild aura that permeated the surroundings.

Before the stone gate, a vast plaza stretched out. Xiao Yan stopped to gaze at the strange sight, which left him speechless with awe.

Faced with this magnificent stone gate, he felt as insignificant as an ant. Amidst his awe, a sense of vigilance arose within him. The sheer power of the stone gate was enough to overwhelm him, and the place was strangely eerie.

My gaze swept across the stone gate and finally settled on the top of the gate, where four ancient characters came into view: "Ancient Emperor's Cave".

Though lacking in splendor, it contained an aura of majesty that surpassed all things, causing Xiao Yan's heart to race.

A smile gradually spread across his face, barely concealing his delight: "Finally found it..."

However, the smile on his lips did not last long, and a chill suddenly ran through Xiao Yan's heart.

A ball of fire appeared, followed by an indescribably enormous creature that came into Xiao Yan's sight.

Its entire body is purple-gold in color, and cold scales cover its body, giving it a powerful and steel-like feel.

Even with Xiao Yan's current soul power, he was still unable to perceive its full extent.

"Can tomb raiders possess ancient jade?"

The enormous creature suddenly opened its huge eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time!

These eyes were a pale red, with overlapping pupils, and they were hundreds or even thousands of times larger than Xiao Yan himself!
