Under Xiao Ling's precise soul power control, the Falling God Weapon instantly split into 72 flame shadow guns, directly tearing the body of the flame lizard man apart. As the lizard man's body collapsed, only a fiery red bead was left in the place. It was the fire bead condensed in its body, emitting blazing energy.
Then, Xiao Ling's handprints changed, and those flame gun shadows began to shuttle through the magma world under his command, like fiery red lightning, shooting at the surrounding flame lizardmen. Those Dou Wang and Dou Huang level lizardmen were completely unable to resist this sudden attack. The hard scales they were proud of were easily pierced like thin paper in front of the sharp and hot gun tips.
As for those Fire Lizardmen who had reached Dou Zong level, although they could barely withstand one or two waves of attacks, under the continuous impact of the flame gun shadows, they could only unwillingly accept the fate of being defeated. They were pierced by the flame gun shadows one by one, feeling chilled to the bone.
Xiao Ling stood in the center of the chaos, his figure appearing particularly firm against the backdrop of the lava.
His eyes were calm and sharp. Every change of his hand seals led to fluctuations in the surrounding energy, keeping the rhythm of the battle firmly in his own hands.
When Xiao Ling felt that he had killed enough fire lizardmen this time, he stopped his attack, waved his hand quickly, and released his soul power. As he moved, hundreds of fiery red beads floated from all directions, as if they were attracted by an invisible force and gathered towards Xiao Ling.
These fire beads emit a scorching light, like small suns, illuminating the surrounding magma world.
Among these fire beads, five of them shone particularly brightly. They were dropped by the five Dou Zong-level fire lizardmen that Xiao Ling had killed before.
The brightest one among them undoubtedly came from the Fire Lizardman at the Dou Zong Seven-Star level. Its light was the most blazing and the energy it contained was the most powerful.
A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips. He waved his hand lightly, and those fire beads emitting blazing light flew into the ring in his hand like obedient pets and disappeared from his sight.
He turned his gaze to the panicked fire lizardmen. These guys, who had originally surrounded him aggressively, were now running around like frightened rats.
As they fled, they made sharp squeaking sounds, which sounded both funny and pitiful. Xiao Ling thought that these guys might be calling for their companions or begging for mercy, but in any case, he was too lazy to investigate further.
Xiao Ling glanced at the fleeing fire lizardmen and shook his head slightly. He did not stay here for long, although with his current strength, he might still be able to fight against those Dou Zun-level fire lizardmen. If he was lucky, he might even be able to kill one of them.
However, there were too many of these fire lizardmen. Xiao Ling knew that even if he could deal with one, he would have difficulty resisting the siege of a group. He did not want to fall here. The Skyfire Venerable was a lesson learned from the past. Because of the siege, he was eventually trapped in this world of fire and magma, and spent a thousand years in a daze.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, adjusted the fighting spirit in his body, and then suddenly jumped up. The fighting spirit in his body was like boiling magma, which exploded instantly and activated three thousand thunders.
His body turned into a flash of lightning, cutting through the air and rushing towards the top of the magma world with a thunderous roar.
Xiao Ling used his full strength to perform Three Thousand Thunders at an extremely fast speed, which was beyond the reach of ordinary Dou Zong peaks. He seemed to merge with the surrounding magma and flames, and every flash was accompanied by a dazzling light. His figure left a trail of afterimages on the surface of the magma lake, just like a meteor passing through the night sky, fleeting.
Before the surrounding fire lizardmen could react, Xiao Ling had already disappeared from their sight.
Soon, three red figures gradually emerged from the depths of the lava lake and rapidly approached the battlefield here. They were three Dou Zun-level fire lizardmen, emitting an aura hotter than magma.
The fire lizardmen looked around, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. They felt the aftermath of the battle, but did not find any trace of the enemy. One of the lizardmen let out a low roar and began to communicate in a special language, asking the surviving fire lizardmen.
"What happened?" Its voice was like boiling magma, with unquestionable majesty.
The surviving fire lizardmen swam over tremblingly, their eyes filled with fear, clearly terrified by the battle. One of the older lizardmen mustered up the courage to report what had just happened to the three Dou Zun-level beings.
"Someone broke into our territory, killed many of our compatriots, and took away their fire beads." There was a tremor in the voice of the older lizardman, and it was obvious that he was still in fear of the battle just now.
After hearing this explanation, the three Dou Zun-level Flame Lizardmen looked at each other, with a hint of displeasure flashing in their eyes. But soon, this displeasure was replaced by indifference.
For them, the primary task is to protect this magma world and look after the ancient emperor's cave. As for the loss of these fire lizardmen, although it is unpleasant, it will not affect their foundation.
The three Dou Zun-level fire lizardmen were silent for a moment, their powerful aura solidified the surrounding magma. Finally, one of the lizardmen broke the silence, with an unquestionable command in his tone.
"Strengthen vigilance and double the patrol range." Its voice was low and powerful.
The surviving fire lizardmen responded immediately. Although they were still in shock, they did not dare to disobey the existence of the Dou Zun level.
They quickly dispersed and began to wander around the lava lake, alert for any threats that might arise.
As the order was conveyed, the three Dou Zun-level fire lizardmen did not stay for long. Their figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the magma world, as if they had merged into the blazing red light.
This boiling magma world gradually returned to its original tranquility. The magma flowed slowly, occasionally bubbling and making slight "gurgling" sounds, as if telling what had just happened here. However, apart from these subtle sounds, there was no other movement around.
The traces of the battle seemed to be quickly swallowed up by this ancient world, and everything returned to its original state, as if the fierce conflict just now had never happened.
……
Xiao Ling's movements were light and quick, and did not alert any of the fire lizardmen. After more than ten minutes of rapid movement, he found that he had safely left the territory of those dangerous creatures. As he continued to rise, the temperature and pressure of the surrounding magma decreased significantly, which made him realize that he was not far from the surface of the magma sea.
He looked up and saw the magma glow growing brighter and brighter, as if welcoming his return.
Then, he lowered his head again, his eyes passing through the deep and mysterious magma world behind him, and muttered to himself: "I will come back... Next time, I must make this place lively."
"Pfft!"
In this silent sea of magma, except for the occasional slight sound of bubbles bursting, everything is dead silent.
Suddenly, the sound of breaking water broke the silence, and then a figure rushed out from the magma, wrapped in golden flames, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, and finally suspended in mid-air.
That was Xiao Ling, his figure was particularly eye-catching in this hot world.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of those powerful fire lizardmen, Xiao Ling had been trying his best to use his speed all the way. Now that he had finally escaped from the lava safely, he felt a little tired. He exhaled lightly, and the golden flames on his body gradually dissipated, revealing his relaxed and confident smile.
"Huh, it's finally out." Xiao Ling muttered to himself, with a hint of relaxed fatigue in his voice.
Xiao Ling glanced down at the storage ring in his hand, which contained the fire beads he had just obtained from the fire lizardman. Each of them contained powerful energy.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a satisfied smile, and he whispered to himself: "This time the harvest is really good, it seems that it is time to find a place to practice in seclusion."
Xiao Ling looked around, searching for a suitable place for retreat and cultivation in this magma world. Soon, his eyes locked on a mountain wall, which looked secluded and quiet, and was a good place for cultivation.
He smiled lightly, and gathered his fighting spirit in his palm, then he swung it violently, and a powerful wave of fighting spirit hit the mountain wall. The rock cracked under the action of the force, forming a temporary cave for cultivation.
Xiao Ling landed lightly in the cave and took out his Green Lotus Pedestal from the storage ring.
As soon as the pedestal appeared, it emitted a faint green light, hazy and mysterious, as if it was a treasure from a dream.
It began to slowly absorb the surrounding fire energy, making this space, which was already rich in fire elements, even hotter.
Xiao Ling was very satisfied with the scene before him. The soft green light emitted by the Green Lotus Pedestal intertwined with the flickering firelight in the cave, creating a mysterious and warm cultivation environment.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling released the Heavenly Demon Puppet and put it aside to protect him during his subsequent retreat.
He nodded gently, then sat cross-legged on the green lotus pedestal, took a deep breath, and began to adjust his state. As his breathing gradually became smoother, his heart also became calmer, ready to face the next practice.
Xiao Ling opened his eyes, flicked his fingers, and took out the fire from Fang Yan and the other two from the system space. The gray-brown flame was quietly suspended in front of him, emitting a hot breath.
However, it did not show any signs of activity. Without the control of Fangyan and the other two, the flame was like a body without a soul.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, with a scornful smile on his lips, "Fake is fake after all. Apart from anything else, even the most basic spirituality is not as good as the real strange fire."
However, Xiao Ling did not have too many regrets. After all, it was condensed from the fighting spirit in the body of the cultivator. Although it lost the control of Fang Yan and the other two elders, it still contained most of their essence. Xiao Ling planned to use the Burning Technique to devour the flame to improve his cultivation.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan did not swallow the Huasheng Fire that he took from Fang Yan, but intended to use it to cast the Three-Colored Half Fire Lotus. But Xiao Ling had his own plans, and he decided to swallow the Huasheng Fire, after all, sooner or later he would condense a perfect Huasheng Fire of his own.
Without any further hesitation, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand, sucked the fire into his palm, and then swallowed it into his stomach without hesitation.
Xiao Ling's strength is now not to be underestimated. Coupled with the blessing of the five kinds of strange fire in his body, swallowing a flower of transformation fire is a piece of cake for him. The whole process is easy and does not cause any discomfort.
As soon as the Huasheng Fire entered his body, it was quickly surrounded by his Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, as if it was caught in an invisible net and could not move.
Then, Xiao Ling followed the Burning Technique and began to refine the Fire of Transformation. The energy in his body flowed like a precision machine, absorbing and transforming the energy of the Fire of Transformation bit by bit.
Chapter 293 Taixu Ancient Dragon
As the energy of the Huasheng Fire was gradually refined, the Dou Qi in Xiao Ling's body began to become more pure and powerful. The five kinds of strange fire in his body also became more active under the nourishment of this new energy. They rotated and intertwined in Xiao Ling's Dantian, forming a colorful fireball that emitted a dazzling light.
Driven by this force, Xiao Ling's cultivation began to improve steadily. He felt that every cell in his body was greedily absorbing the energy of the fire. His body became tougher and his soul power was slowly increasing.
Time passed quietly during the practice. In the cave, there was no other movement except the slight sound of Xiao Ling's breathing. The magma world outside was still boiling, but the cave was like a quiet space isolated from the world, with only Xiao Ling's breath of practice flowing slowly.
……
As time goes by, half a year has passed by like a flash.
During this long yet short period of time, Zi Yan's retreat room remained silent until this day, when the purple light cocoon in the room suddenly burst into brilliant light, as if announcing that an important moment was about to arrive.
In the training room, the purple light cocoon was like a gem containing endless energy, and began to emit dazzling purple light. The surrounding air seemed to tremble because of this power, and the energy gathered towards the light cocoon like a tide. The light cocoon began to flicker under the nourishment of these energies, and each flicker was like a heartbeat, full of the rhythm of life.
As the light of the purple cocoon in Zi Yan's retreat room became stronger and stronger, the entire room seemed to turn into a vortex of energy. Countless energies from heaven and earth were attracted and madly gathered towards the cocoon.
In the training room where Zi Yan was in seclusion, a powerful energy fluctuation occurred quietly. Although the special formation in the training room shielded it so that the outside world did not notice the fluctuation, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin in the courtyard sensitively felt the unusual movement.
They all walked out of their rooms at the same time and gathered in the courtyard, exchanging glances of surprise and curiosity.
At the same time, in the backyard, Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo were playing chess leisurely, enjoying the quiet afternoon.
However, when they felt the energy fluctuations coming from the training room, they both stopped the chess pieces in their hands almost at the same time and turned their eyes in the direction of Zi Yan's retreat.
Yao Tianhuo stroked his somewhat transparent beard, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Looking at this situation, Zi Yan should have broken through to the Dou Zong realm. If it weren't for the formation in the training room blocking this energy fluctuation, I'm afraid the entire inner courtyard would have been alarmed. It's much more spectacular than when I broke through that year."
Yao Chen smiled lightly upon hearing this, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Haha, that girl's bloodline is extraordinary. If an ordinary magical beast had eaten so many of her precious medicinal herbs, it would have broken through to the seventh level long ago. This little movement now is just a piece of cake for her."
Yao Tianhuo's interest was completely piqued, and he asked curiously: "Brother Yaochen, tell me, what kind of magical beast is that girl's true form? It's really curious."
Yao Chen raised his eyebrows, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he was also quite interested in this question: "Once she completes this breakthrough, she should be able to change her form freely. At that time, we will be able to see her true form."
As he spoke, Yao Chen stood up and floated towards Zi Yan's retreat room. Seeing this, Yao Tianhuo quickly put away the chessboard and followed him. The two of them disappeared at the end of the courtyard, leaving only chess pieces and an unfinished game.
Soon, two old men in the form of soul bodies floated lightly into the courtyard and met Qinglin and Xiao Yixiang unexpectedly.
Qing Lin's eyes were fixed on the surging energy fluctuations in the training room. With a bit of anticipation and curiosity, he asked Yao Chen, "Master, Sister Zi Yan's retreat should be coming to an end soon, right? I really want to know, after she breaks through to Dou Zong, can she maintain her adult appearance?"
Yao Chen chuckled, and rubbed Qing Lin's hair affectionately with his palm, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "Well, it's hard to say. Zi Yan's situation is quite special. I can't say for sure whether she can maintain her adult form forever."
"However, once you reach the level of a seventh-order magical beast, controlling your own form change should be a piece of cake. When she comes out, I will be able to tell at a glance what kind of magical beast she is with my years of experience."
Qinglin nodded obediently, his eyes sparkling with joy for Ziyan. They all knew that Ziyan had always wanted to find out the type of her own monster so that she could find her own people. Now it seemed that this wish would soon come true.
Yao Chen turned to look at Qing Lin, and said in a probing tone: "By the way, my dear disciple, you have reached the realm of Nine-Star Dou Huang not long ago. Don't you want to try to break through to Dou Zong? Although your Dou Qi has not been fully accumulated, with those snake pets to help you absorb Dou Qi, and then take a Po Zong Pill, and retreat for a year or so, breaking through to Dou Zong should not be a problem."
Qing Lin's voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring. She said slowly, "I thought that after I cultivate my Dou Qi to full saturation, I would try to break through to Dou Zong. This would be safer. And the young master might not need too long to come out of seclusion. By then, he should go to Zhongzhou. I don't want my affairs to affect the young master's plan."
After hearing Qing Lin's words, Xiao Yixian and Yao Tianhuo couldn't help but smile at each other, while Yao Chen smiled with a bit of helplessness: "Girl, I think you are more worried about the second reason. Xiao Ling, that kid, really makes you worry about him. But it's good, you stay in the Douhuang realm for a while, and don't rush to break through."
Yao Chen turned his gaze towards Xiao Yixian again, with a smile on his face: "Xian'er girl, your cultivation has improved a lot in the past six months. You have already reached the high-level Dou Zong, which is much higher than Xiao Ling before he went into seclusion. With this cultivation speed, if Xiao Ling hadn't always encountered opportunities that suited him, he would definitely not be able to match you."
The Little Medical Immortal smiled softly, her tone revealing humility: "Master Yao, you are too kind. I can achieve what I have today thanks to the help of you and Xiao Ling, I just benefited from it. Xiao Ling said that he should be able to reach the level of Nine Star Dou Zong during this retreat, and when he comes out of retreat, his cultivation will surpass mine."
Yao Chen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Xiao Yixian's words. He had also checked Xiao Ling's situation before. The four-star Dou Zong strongman's entire cultivation was condensed in the magic poison spot, which greatly benefited Xiao Ling's improvement in the Dou Zong realm. Coupled with the assistance of Zong Ji Dan, after a period of seclusion, it would not be a problem for him to break through to the nine-star Dou Zong.
However, Yao Chen smiled and said, "Haha, that kid's cultivation is indeed one step ahead of you. But when you get to Zhongzhou and gather the last material for your poison pill, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and it will be easy to surpass him."
Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yixiang's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and she was full of anticipation for such a scene in the future.
As they talked, the energy fluctuations in the training room became stronger and stronger.
Finally, after a violent tremor, a subtle but clear "crack" sound came from the light cocoon. With this sound, the cracks on the light cocoon began to spread and expand, and finally with a slight sound, the light cocoon shattered like glass.
Zi Yan's figure appeared in the broken cocoon of light. She was gently surrounded by purple light, like a fairy descending to earth.
Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes, the confusion of waking up flashed across her eyes. She stretched gracefully, the movement was natural and smooth, as if she was performing a silent dance.
As her consciousness gradually became clearer, she finally realized that she had successfully broken through and reached the realm of Dou Zong.
She looked down at her body and found that the clothes she wore before the retreat had turned into ashes during the practice. Zi Yan smiled lightly and waved her fingers. Under her skillful control, the Dou Qi condensed into a thin purple Dou Qi gauze dress, which gently covered her body.
Standing up, Zi Yan gently shook the Dou Qi gauze dress on her body, feeling the surging power in her body, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
