Strange Place
"Xiao Yan, watch carefully. This old man will only demonstrate it once."
Taking a deep breath, Heavenly Flame Venerable waved his hand, and Fallen Heart Flame appeared in front of him.
Heavenly Flame Venerable only had a Soul Body without a physical body, so naturally, he didn't have Dou Qi. Therefore, Xiao Yan circulated his Dou Qi in advance, frantically catalyzing Fallen Heart Flame.
"Five Round Li Fire Method!"
As Fallen Heart Flame frantically surged, Heavenly Flame Venerable roared fiercely in his heart, his hand seals changed, and Fallen Heart Flame split into five, beginning to squirm and take shape frantically.
"Wolf Spirit, condense!"
In just a moment, a sharp shout came from 'Xiao Yan's' mouth, and a wolf-like Fire Spirit condensed from Fallen Heart Flame quickly appeared in the sky.
"Leopard Spirit, condense!"
"Lion Spirit, condense!"
"Tiger Spirit, condense!"
Condensing four Fire Spirits in one breath, Xiao Yan also felt the rapid consumption of Dou Qi in his body, and shouted again: "Flood Dragon Spirit, condense!"
"Assemble the Five Round Li Fire Formation!"
As Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul Body surged out frantically, terrifying fire control manipulated the five Fire Spirits. The five spirits complemented each other, and a terrifying temperature immediately permeated from the sky. Even the dark clouds in the distant sky were slightly thinned by the roasting. Trees that were closer withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally, with a peng sound, exploded into a cloud of ashes.
Xiao Yan was at the closest distance, watching Heavenly Flame Venerable display the Five Round Li Fire Method. Five huge Fire Spirits formed a strange formation in the sky, and Xiao Yan was at the center of the formation.
"This is the real Five Round Li Fire Method!" Xiao Yan could indeed condense five Fire Spirits, but he only had a superficial understanding of forming the array, let alone cultivating the Five Round Li Fire Method to Heavenly Flame Venerable's level.
Feeling the rapid loss of Dou Qi in his body, Xiao Yan also took a deep breath, then turned his gaze to the five Fire Spirits forming the array in the distant sky.
Xiao Yan knew that this time, Heavenly Flame Venerable was truly teaching him all his inheritance without reservation.
After all, Heavenly Flame Venerable was also afraid that Xiao Yan would be like Han Feng, where the apprentice starves the master after learning.
But when Xiao Yan remembered refining medicinal pills to help him revive, Heavenly Flame Venerable understood that although Xiao Yan was decisive in killing and would not give the enemy any chance, he was very friendly to those who had helped him.
"Five Round Li Fire Disc!" Heavenly Flame Venerable was not polite, and immediately changed his hand seals. A sharp shout came from Xiao Yan's mouth.
As the shout fell, the five huge Fire Spirits around him roared to the sky, and then suddenly began to rotate at high speed. Under this terrifying rotation, the space where Xiao Yan was located directly showed signs of melting. Huge black cracks, like hideous mouths, constantly appeared in the sky.
"Peng peng!"
As the Fire Spirits rotated faster and faster, they eventually turned into a two-hundred-foot-large Fire Disc. The transparent Fire Disc hovered above Xiao Yan's head, spinning rapidly, emitting bursts of Sonic Boom sounds. The terrifying energy that permeated out made even Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan's expressions change.
With Heavenly Flame Venerable's current strength, it was naturally impossible for the Five Round Li Fire Method to be comparable to a Heaven Rank Dou Technique, but it had the power of a quasi-Heaven Rank!
Hiss!! Seeing Xiao Yan display such a terrifying Dou Technique, the huge Ghost Face Black Spider didn't dare to underestimate it. Its eight compound eyes condensed intense red light, and the red light quickly condensed into a huge energy vortex. The terrifying aura of a Half-Step Dou Zong shattered even the mountain peaks.
"What's happening over there!"
"So strong, this has already reached the level of Dou Zong! Could it be the Poison Sect Sect Leader and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate Sect Leader?"
"It shouldn't be. The Poison Sect Sect Leader and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate Sect Leader and some other experts have gone deeper."
"Who is this, daring to target the Ghost Face Black Spider? That's a Half-Step Dou Zong Magical Beast!!"
Xiao Yan's actions naturally attracted the attention of many sect experts, who looked over one after another.
"Go!"
In the sky, Xiao Yan, under the gaze of everyone, raised his right hand high, holding the huge Fire Disc in the air, and with a loud shout, his arm suddenly swung, and the enormous Fire Disc brought a rumbling sound of thunder.
Although Fallen Heart Flame was invisible and formless, its terrifying temperature melted the void, like a meteorite, cutting through the sky, and under countless shocked gazes, it shot towards the huge spider Magical Beast below!
With a buzz, the Ghost Face Black Spider let out an angry cry, and a thick red laser beam blasted towards Xiao Yan. This attack, comparable to a Dou Zong's, cut through the sky, leaving a long trail in the sky.
"What a terrifying Fire Disc attack!"
"What level of Dou Technique is this!"
Boom boom boom! The two attacks collided fiercely.
Some of the stronger experts around also turned pale at this moment. Just the aura that was revealed was so terrifying. It was hard to imagine that if they were the target of this disc, their bodies would probably be burned to ashes before the attack even arrived.
The terrifying collision, like a collision of meteorites, instantly erupted with earth-shattering loud noises. The entire mountain range trembled at this moment, and cracks about ten feet wide spread rapidly across the ground like spider webs.
'Xiao Yan' stood with his hands behind his back, gently pointing downwards. With a boom, the Five Round Li Fire Method instantly turned into a torrent of flames, instantly destroying the Ghost Face Black Spider's attack, and finally, the terrifying Fallen Heart Flame submerged this Magical Beast with the strength of a Half-Step Dou Zong.
With just one move! A single move was all it took for a one-hit kill! With a hook of his finger, the Ghost Face Flower was safely brought before Xiao Yan by the Fallen Heart Flame little snake. Heavenly Flame Venerable's Soul Body separated from Xiao Yan's body, his hands behind his back, facing away from Xiao Yan, and said with unfathomable depth, "Xiao Yan, you have great talent, but you are still quite far from mastering the true Five Round Li Fire Method."
"Cultivate well, and do not disappoint this old man's expectations."
If Heavenly Flame Venerable wasn't a Soul Body, Xiao Yan would have wanted to kick him in the butt!
Although Xiao Yan and the others had some gains afterward, the highest was only a low-grade Rank 7 Medicinal Herb, which couldn't compare to the Ghost Face Flower.
Gradually, the sky began to dim, and Xiao Yan and the others set up camp to rest.
"Hehe, Xiao Yan, hurry up." Zi Yan watched Xiao Yan making sugar pills for her, drooling and urging him from the side.
With a few clangs, Xiao Yan turned all of Zi Yan's 'hard-earned money' for the day into sugar pills and tossed them to her.
After all, they weren't made of iron, and their Dou Qi would eventually be exhausted, so they naturally needed to rest.
"Have you guys noticed that this place is a bit strange?" After finishing the meal made by Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan began to get to the point.
"Strange? It's not strange, there's so much good food here." Zi Yan threw a sugar pill into her mouth, wondering how something so delicious and full of energy could be strange.
The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King and Little Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King also looked at each other with wide eyes, not noticing anything strange either.
"Are you saying you haven't seen those people from the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate?" Little Fairy Doctor pondered for a moment, then said.
"It's not just them. The Poison Sect, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, and those powerhouses from the Chuyun Empire who entered this place in the first batch, we've been heading deeper and deeper, yet we haven't found any trace of them." Xiao Yan's expression was a bit grave.
It wasn't that they were moving particularly fast; on the contrary, they had been delayed quite a bit because they had their eyes on the natural treasures along the way and fought with some Magical Beasts.
But what Xiao Yan found strange was that with so many natural treasures along the way, not to mention that the Poison Sect's Sect Leader, Du Gu Tian Gao, was already a Dou Zong, even with so many powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, they were indifferent to the many precious Medicinal Herbs along the way.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xiao Yan and the others were the first group.
"They're flying straight ahead, without stopping at all?" the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King asked.
"Probably. The question is, what's so attractive to them that they're willing to give up so many resources along the way and fly forward desperately?" Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
"Could it be that they discovered extremely precious natural treasures in the innermost part, so they all rushed over to snatch them?" Zi Yan boldly guessed.
"Even you haven't sensed any special natural treasures, so their perception is better than yours?" Xiao Yan shook his head. Neither Zi Yan of the Void Ancient Dragon clan nor Heavenly Flame Venerable had sensed anything, so could those Dou Zong and Dou Huang from the Poison Sect and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate sense so far?
"Could it be a Strange Flame?" Little Fairy Doctor asked softly.
Xiao Yan summoned Mao Wu, who directly shook its head, indicating that it hadn't sensed any aura of a Strange Flame.
"The Strange Flame Spirit hasn't sensed any of its kind, so they shouldn't be able to detect the location of a Strange Flame either." Xiao Yan denied Little Fairy Doctor's guess.
For a time, the entire space was silent, and no one could figure out why this was happening.
"Let's rest well first and recover all our Dou Qi. This time, we won't snatch any more resources; we'll fly directly to the deepest part of this space." A look of gravity flashed in his eyes as Xiao Yan spoke.
"Ah, that's such a pity. Can't we grab a little more?" Zi Yan was the first to object. It was rare for her to encounter such a rich treasure land of Medicinal Herbs, so how could she not snatch her fill?
"No. This place is too strange, and I have a bad feeling. If something unexpected really happens, Zi Yan, you transform back into your true form, and we'll pass through the void and leave this Space Lock directly. You can't expend too much strength and Dou Qi." Xiao Yan said decisively, not agreeing with Zi Yan's suggestion.
"Okay." Although Zi Yan was unwilling, she naturally listened to Xiao Yan's words when she saw how insistent he was.
After resting for about four hours, Xiao Yan and the others once again sat on the back of the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, directly flapped their wings and flew high, flying straight to the depths of this space.
"This Space Lock is so big, could it be that this wasn't created by Youdu Venerable? Is this originally an ancient relic?"
Somewhat beyond Xiao Yan's expectations, along the way, Xiao Yan and the others seemed to have left the treasure land rich in Medicinal Herbs and entered another region, as they no longer saw any precious Medicinal Herbs growing.
"Xiao Yan, look at that."
After flying for a while, the land in front of them began to become steep, forming a high ground. Xiao Yan's Soul power sensed that this was already the most core area of this place, and also the deepest part.
But what puzzled Xiao Yan and the others was that this place was actually barren, completely different from the vibrant scene when they first entered. Here, not to mention natural treasures, there were only a few huge buildings standing there, and all of these buildings had collapsed, as if they had been destroyed.
Such a place was not what they had imagined. They had all thought that the deepest part of the place should be sacred and full of vitality, with visions such as immortal springs gushing from the ground, like a fairyland.
However, this high ground was extremely barren, as if this was an abandoned land.
Just as Xiao Yan and the others stepped into this place, a ray of light suddenly rose from the ruins of the building, and a man with an immortal demeanor walked out of the light.
"I am Youdu Venerable, welcome to my inheritance land. As long as you pass my trial, you can obtain my inheritance." The man smiled slightly.
"You're Youdu Venerable?! You're not dead!" Xiao Yan was suddenly shocked. A Dou Zun who had lived for who knows how many years?!
Although Dou Zun could live for a long time, it shouldn't be possible to live for so long! "Hehe, I don't have long to live either, so I plan to leave behind my inheritance and look for a suitable successor. If anyone can pass my trial, they can obtain my lifelong learning." Youdu Venerable chuckled and answered Xiao Yan's question.
Xiao Yan frowned, glanced at Little Fairy Doctor, who nodded slightly and then slowly closed her eyes. Instantly, Little Fairy Doctor's black robe moved without wind, and an astonishing aura emanated.
A colorful light erupted from Little Fairy Doctor's body, and the runes of the Calamity Poison Body slowly appeared. Little Fairy Doctor had activated her Calamity Poison Body! Xiao Yan knew that Youdu Venerable had a man-made Calamity Poison Body, but the natural Calamity Poison Body could sense it.
Seeing the lines and colorful light emerging on Little Fairy Doctor's body, Youdu Venerable suddenly looked surprised and screamed, "Calamity Poison Body!!"
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes narrowed as she glanced at Youdu Venerable and said in a deep voice, "You don't have the Calamity Poison Body, and you are not Youdu Venerable. Who are you?"
Exposed by Little Fairy Doctor, the man claiming to be Youdu Venerable's expression immediately turned gloomy, but before he could attack, Xiao Yan launched his offensive first.
Having prepared in secret, Xiao Yan heard Little Fairy Doctor's words, waved his hand, and a delicate three-colored fire lotus flew out from the sleeve of his Soul Robe!
Xiao Yan had secretly fused a three-colored fire lotus, using the Soul Robe's shielding effect.
Under 'Youdu Venerable's' horrified gaze, the fire lotus flew directly towards him.
Xiao Yan completely disregarded Martial Morality, starting with a powerful move right from the beginning!
*BOOM!!!* In the end, the terrifying three-colored Strange Flame exploded, and the entire highland was shattered by Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus. When this highland was blasted apart, and the land beneath was melted, the scene below appeared before Xiao Yan and the others.
Beneath the highland was actually a sunken basin, a place like a large mouth surrounded by mist, as if a giant beast had opened its jaws.
What made Xiao Yan's expression turn grave was that countless corpses were hidden beneath this highland!! It was like a place filled with corpses.
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered, he knew why he felt strange. At the beginning, there were many withered bones under the pool of Water Lotus Spiritual Zhi.
But this was wrong, because this Space Lock was only discovered two days ago! The poisonous miasma had only disappeared seven days ago, so how could there be so many corpses and skeletons!!
