533. Fusion Black Flame
As soon as the Burning Technique was activated, the black flames seemed to gain sentience and immediately fled. They were even faster than when they rushed in, relentlessly trying to burrow into Xiao Yan's right arm.
Xiao Yan sensed the change but did not try to stop it. He was momentarily confused as to why the black flames were behaving this way.
The pitch-black flames, like living things, burrowed into the bone marrow of Xiao Yan's right arm. Countless fine, tadpole-shaped runes suddenly appeared on the stark white bone surface of his right arm, where flesh and blood had been burned away. These runes flowed with an ancient, violent aura, and under the initiative of the strange sub-fire, they fused into the bones of Xiao Yan's arm. Then, even without Xiao Yan's control, his entire right arm instantly transformed into a black hole vortex, and the surrounding space cracked with intricate, spiderweb-like patterns.
Crack.
A muffled sound like flowing lava emanated from his arm bones, and a feeling of rebirth washed over him. Xiao Yan saw black flames swirling within his hand bones, each fluctuation creating ripples in space. Xiao Yan's right arm suddenly expanded three times its original size, then slowly covered with new flesh and blood with each breath, visibly returning to its normal size.
Xiao Yan looked at his arm, which was gradually returning to normal, and was also a little puzzled: he really didn't understand why the mysterious black flame was so afraid of the Burning Technique like a mouse seeing a cat, and in the end simply took the initiative to run away.
It is true that powerful beings can develop intelligence, but judging from the fight with Mu Gu, Black Flame must be an unintelligent being.
The next moment, battle qi surged from his right arm, rushing into Xiao Yan's limbs and bones. Under the surge of powerful battle qi, the Burning Blade Technique automatically began to operate at high speed.
Centered on Xiao Yan, a beam of energy several meters high suddenly erupted, turning the entire misty mountain and sea of clouds into a funnel-shaped vortex. The overwhelming pressure of the Dou Zun level swept across the surrounding area, and the advancement barrier of the two-star Dou Zun was rapidly shaking.
Seeing this, the mysterious phantom moved again, completely concealing the commotion erupting from Xiao Yan's body: "You little rascal, you really are a handful."
Seeing Xiao Yan's aura gradually rising, he naturally knew what was about to happen and commented, "Dual cultivation of soul and battle qi, both are exceptionally strong. He's already reached the Dou Zun realm before the age of thirty, and even has a slight chance of advancing to Dou Sheng. He's also cultivated the Burning Blade Technique to the mid-to-late stage. I can't find any fault with him at all; truly remarkable!"
"Keep it up, Xiao family brat." A hint of amusement appeared in the black figure's abyss-like eyes as he chuckled, "Once your body grows strong enough to bear my power, you'll be worthy of being devoured by me. With my sub-fire, you'll surely be found even if you go to the ends of the earth..."
Then, the space opened up before the black figure as if it were the most docile plaything. He took a step out and completely disappeared from this space. The confinement of the Dan Tower space seemed to have nothing to do with him.
……
Much later.
Xiao Yan, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes blazing with a sharp light. With his awakening, his Dou Qi surged violently, like a long-dormant beast, and his aura was greatly enhanced!
An intoxicating sense of power emanated from Xiao Yan's body. He suddenly leaped up from the ground, his joints cracking and popping like firecrackers.
Advance to the Three-Star Dou Zun!
With the help of the excess Dou Qi released after fusing with the black flames, Xiao Yan advanced another step, reaching the three-star Dou Zun level. After reaching the Dou Zun level, the amount of Dou Qi required for each step forward is extremely large, so Xiao Yan's advancement speed will definitely be the envy of those old guys who have been stuck at the threshold for years.
Xiao Yan moved his right arm, and with the help of the clay puppet, it recovered completely, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Let's try this one!"
With a surge of battle qi, a vortex appeared in his palm and then suddenly collapsed into a tiny point the size of a grain of rice. All the rubble and vegetation within a hundred feet radius were suspended, transforming into a spiraling torrent under the terrifying suction force. Distant mountain rocks crumbled into dust, all of which were also swallowed up by this vortex.
Boom!
Suddenly, his entire right arm erupted with a dark aura, and the originally pitch-black flames burst forth from his right arm. When Xiao Yan tentatively flicked his finger to grab, the mountain peak not far away vanished into thin air, the cut surface smooth as a mirror—a mark where even space itself had been gnawed away.
Black and red veins meandered beneath his skin like dragons. As the power of absorption reached its peak, a black flame symbol appeared in Xiao Yan's palm. The black flame pattern possessed a mysterious power, seemingly capable of devouring even the light it touched. His entire arm seemed to exist simultaneously between reality and nothingness, radiating a terrifying, forbidden aura.
Xiao Yan's ability to devour was greatly enhanced, but he still dared not judge whether this black flame belonged to the Void Devouring Flame.
If it's not the Void Devouring Flame, then what kind of flame can suppress the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame and even fuse with my right arm?
If it were the Void Devouring Flame, its power would be rather weak, considering it's the second most powerful flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. While most of the other flames on the Strange Flame Ranking are known in fragments in the Central Continent, the Void Devouring Flame is the only one—its name and a brief description exist; no one has ever actually seen it.
The identity of this Black Flame remains a secret.
Moreover, there are many suspicious points surrounding his encounter with Mu Gu this time. Why did his void power suddenly erupt? If it was due to the black flames, why didn't he experience a similar change in their last battle?
You must know that last time, when surrounded by the four of them, Mu Gu almost died. At that time, he absolutely dared not hold back at all.
Xiao Yan was equally puzzled: why had the Dou Qi restraints on him and Mu Gu suddenly disappeared? Now that the mist was working again, although he had advanced to a three-star Dou Zun, he was still suppressed and unable to use a single trace of Dou Qi. Mu Gu couldn't possibly have broken the mist's restraints; otherwise, he could have easily used Dou Qi against him.
Although the battle resulted in the complete resolution of the major problem of Mu Gu, Xiao Yan was far from happy. He had always believed that only power he could control was real. If the ability to devour was beyond his control, and this happened at a crucial moment, it could cost him his life.
As Xiao Yan pondered, he also missed Little Fairy Doctor. If she were here, she would definitely be able to glean more information from these events.
However, Xiao Yan was not discouraged. He found a storage ring with a skull pattern on it. Mu Gu was dead, and his body had been burned to ashes by the black flames. In the end, only that one storage ring remained, which he had snatched in advance.
"Perhaps Mu Gu knows some information," Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
