41. Terrifying and Powerful
41. Terrifying and Powerful
Looking at the dazzling fire lotus in his hand, Xiao Yan couldn't contain his elation. This little thing was definitely a terrifying trump card far surpassing Earth-rank Dou Techniques, and now it had been born from his hands. Creating a skill... that's no simple matter in the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Yan licked his lips, which were dry from being so close to the two different flames, and was eager to know just how powerful they were.
He had less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of his fighting spirit left, and he wasn't even sure if he could withstand the power of this thing.
Xiao Yan spread his wings and soared into the sky. After flying for a while and confirming that it was a safe area, Xiao Yan slowly threw away the fire lotus.
The thunderous roar around his body was amplified to the maximum, and his speed was maximized. The reason why the fire lotus did not change in his hands was mainly because he was controlling it with the Burning Technique. He himself did not know when the thing would explode.
Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan, who were cultivating and recovering, sensed an unusual energy fluctuation and ended their cultivation. Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
A world-destroying energy spread from the sky, shattering the stable Beast Realm into countless fragments. The floating clouds were crushed and evaporated, and the aftershocks rippled outwards, blasting the peaks of mountains to smithereens. Brilliant red and white flames swept across the sky like a tidal wave. The temperature of the entire area rose sharply, and countless people in the vast Beast Realm witnessed this scene.
"Damn it, what's going on? When did the Beast Realm become so terrifying?"
"Is it a Dou Zun-level magical beast? Aren't eighth-tier magical beasts supposed to not attack people on their own?"
"Could it be that Lu Zhi did this?"
The closest people were naturally Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan. Both of them were blasted hundreds of feet away by the terrifying aftershocks of energy. They looked at the fire waves in the sky in disbelief, because there were red and white flames close to them. They had someone in mind, but he just happened to be away.
Chu Qun swallowed hard, staring at the terrifying fluctuations. His mind went blank as he turned to ask Yang Lingyan beside him, "This commotion... was it caused by Xiao Yan?"
Yang Lingyan was also stunned, not for any other reason than that the fire lotus was simply too terrifying.
"I don't know, but these two kinds of flames..."
The two began searching everywhere for Xiao Yan's whereabouts, eager to know his answer: this world-destroying commotion was not caused by him.
Xiao Yan, far away, was naturally unaware of the thoughts of the two. He was closest to the Fire Lotus and was directly thrown into the ground by the explosive force. The terrifying aftershocks even caused his internal organs to shift. However, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. A terrifying skill was born from his hands, and he was certain that even a Dou Zong expert would only have one possibility of dying if faced with such power.
Looking at the undiminished power of the flames in the sky, Xiao Yan sighed, "I'll call you—Buddha's Wrath Lotus!"
When the fiery lotus appears in the world, even gods and Buddhas must give way!
Xiao Yan took out two pills to restore his Dou Qi and put them in his mouth. There was no doubt about the power of the Fire Lotus, but it did consume a lot of Dou Qi. Once used, it would almost mean that Xiao Yan himself would lose his fighting ability. He could only keep it as a real trump card.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't expect the impact this incident would have on Chu Qun and Yang Lingyan. When the three met, Xiao Yan admitted that he was the one who caused the explosion. Chu Qun's handsome face was distorted with shock.
Yang Lingyan was overjoyed. After all, his father had brought such a powerful figure to the Heavenly Serpent Palace, making the top three a foregone conclusion. Even Lu Zhi was no longer a threat to Yang Lingyan. Lu Zhi? In the face of Xiao Yan's terrifying attack, he was insignificant!
……
The following day, the three, having rested, began their search. Naturally, the efficiency of three people was somewhat lower than acting alone. However, they could be more at ease when hunting magical beasts with Chu Qun, Yang Lingyan, and Xiao Yan, so their ranking on the leaderboard remained unchanged.
However, the Beast Realm is vast, and they haven't found the small market after a whole day. If they still haven't found it by tomorrow, they'll have to miss this opportunity to make a deal.
At night, the three of them gathered around a campfire to rest. The magical beasts in the Beast Space were made of energy, so they couldn't be eaten; all the food had to be brought from outside.
During this time, Chu Qun showed off his skills to Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan again. His cooking skills were indeed remarkable. He even used ice blocks made by ice masters to freeze a lot of fresh ingredients, and brought a lot of seasonings. Xiao Yan and Yang Lingyan had the best meal in the Ten Thousand Beasts Space.
After finishing his meal, Yang Lingyan smacked his lips and said, "Chu Qun, to be honest, I'm even thinking of taking you back to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion."
Chu Qun pursed his lips and said, "Even though I'm handsome, I didn't expect you to have this kind of taste!"
As he spoke, he unconsciously moved a little further away from Yang Lingyan. Just as Yang Lingyan was about to explain, he noticed that Xiao Yan had also taken the initiative to distance himself from him.
"It was just a joke!"
Yang Lingyan was completely bewildered, while Xiao Yan stood up and said, "How about the three of us take turns keeping watch tonight? Chu Qun first, then Yang Lingyan, and finally me, okay?"
Chu Qun and his companion nodded in agreement. Most people choose to rest at night because the Beast Realm is different from the outside world; any sudden danger is unpredictable, so almost no one ventures out at night. Although the magical beasts' senses are greatly weakened within the Beast Realm, danger still exists. When acting alone, one must constantly amplify their senses, but with more people, night watch is essential, allowing the remaining people to rest better.
Having someone to protect him is much safer than acting alone. After entering the Beast Space, Xiao Yan increasingly felt the inadequacy of his abilities. For example, he felt his chances of winning against Shi Han were no more than 50%, not to mention the inevitable future encounter with the even stronger Lu Zhi. Improving his strength was now an urgent matter!
After such a long period of continuous training, the instability and fragility caused by absorbing the Red Lotus Karmic Flame have been completely solidified by Xiao Yan. Now, Xiao Yan can even feel that he can break through to the three-star Dou Huang realm at any time if he so desires.
"One star might still not be enough," Xiao Yan muttered to himself. Then, his storage ring flashed, and a round, fragrant pill rolled into his hand.
A sixth-grade elixir—the Imperial Extreme Pill. A powerful item that can allow a Dou Huang to directly break through to the next level.
This pill was personally refined by Yao Lao to enhance Xiao Yan's strength, making it even more perfect than those refined by Xiao Yan himself and Su Zhang. Now is the perfect time to consume this pill. Xiao Yan swallowed the Imperial Extreme Pill in one gulp, and the pill transformed into a surge of energy that rushed into his body, causing his aura to gradually rise.
