Invisible Protection

Xiao Yan took a Huangji Pill from his Storage Ring, not caring about the problem of Dou Qi instability, and threw it directly into his mouth.

Instantly, a violent surge of energy rushed into the Meridians within his body, and a sharp tearing sensation came from within. The terrifying medicinal power of the Huangji Pill caused Xiao Yan's Meridians to swell.

Xiao Yan didn't have the leisure to refine the medicinal effects now. The medicinal power of the Huangji Pill was converted into Dou Qi and injected into the Yin-Yang Life-Death Flame. After the white fish received Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, it spat out even more Life Flame, maintaining Cai Lin's vitality.

But what Xiao Yan was carrying now was the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python! This ancient beast, known for its ability to swallow the heavens and earth, had a terrifyingly exaggerated size, with a body approaching a thousand meters! This was also why it was so difficult for Magical Beasts to transform. Just imagine, compressing such a massive body to a size of only one or two meters required such terrifying power. No wonder Cai Lin could kick a Dou Zong to death with a light kick after transforming.

The density was terrifying. The mass didn't change after transformation; it was just that the transformed Magical Beast relied on its own cultivation and Dou Qi to reduce its weight.

It was essentially flying at all times.

And Xiao Yan, a four-star Dou Huang, had exhausted his Dou Qi, overdrawn his Soul power, and was seriously injured. Under such an overload, the burden on his body was simply too heavy.

However, Xiao Yan's footsteps never stopped. The pain in his body didn't affect his resolute heart in the slightest, and he continued to move forward firmly.

Normally, Xiao Yan should have flown up, but now, he found it difficult to fly.

From a distance, on the Heavenly Stairway with no end in sight, a huge, incomparably large Seven-Colored Giant Python was slowly moving upwards.

If someone were following behind, looking up the stairs, they would see the long ladder emitting a turquoise light, marked with bloody footprints at every step.

These bloody footprints contained Xiao Yan's blood, as well as Cai Lin's. At this moment, their blood had long been mixed together, indistinguishable from each other.

Even though Xiao Yan was now relying entirely on his physical strength to persevere, the heavy weight pressing down on him couldn't stop this man's footsteps.

With both hands holding up the body of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, he clenched his teeth, taking one step at a time! With a *thud*, Xiao Yan's foot slipped, and he was crushed under the massive body of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

"Xiao Yan!" Heavenly Flame Venerable was shocked. Just as he was about to go to the rescue, he noticed that the Life Flame of the Yin-Yang Life-Death Flame was beginning to decrease.

Heavenly Flame Venerable began to input Soul power to maintain the Life Flame.

Time slowly passed. After about thirty minutes, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python was slowly lifted up. Xiao Yan stood up again, roared, and with his arms supporting the Devouring Heaven Python's body, he slowly lifted it again!

One step, two steps, three steps. Xiao Yan had already forgotten how long he had been walking. He had even exhausted his Soul power and was blocked by Cai Lin's body, unable to see how far the road ahead was.

However, he was still so strong, carrying a mountain-like Cai Lin on his back, walking with his head lowered.

Xiao Yan didn't know what his reason was for persevering like this. Perhaps it was just as Cai Lin often said: 'It's all because of that Soul connection.'

Falling down again and again, and getting up again and again, his already overdrawn body was being overdrawn once more.

In the end, even Heavenly Flame Venerable exhausted his Soul power and had to enter the Storage Ring to sleep, while Xiao Yan was still moving forward.

He didn't know how long had passed, but Xiao Yan's physical strength was completely exhausted, as if his life was coming to an end.

Just at this moment, suddenly, the front lit up, and a turquoise light slowly shone down from the sky. It was this little bit of green light that gave Xiao Yan hope.

Almost there! "*Three Thousand Lightning Movement!*" Xiao Yan roared with a ferocious expression.

*Boom!!* A thunderous sound shook the heavens and made the ghosts and gods weep! A flash of lightning passed, and the huge Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python suddenly burst out with extreme speed, rushing forward like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and passed through the stairs.

*Thud thud thud thud*, it crashed heavily to the ground, and Xiao Yan rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

Although Xiao Yan's legs were numb, and his body's blood and Dou Qi were exhausted, his eyes were incomparably bright. He crawled forward with difficulty on the ground with both hands.

Not far in front of him, a snake with a turquoise body, only two meters long, and looking like it was sleeping, was coiled up.

Without introduction, except for the size, this appearance was exactly the same as the Giant Python statue. It was the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint!

However, Xiao Yan had no interest in her inheritance. At this moment, Xiao Yan stared unblinkingly at a ball of Essence Blood floating in front of him, only the size of a baby's fist. The energy it emitted made Xiao Yan understand that this was the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint's Essence Blood!

With a *whoosh*, a ball of blood-red flame slowly enveloped the Essence Blood. Xiao Yan used his last bit of strength to send the Essence Blood into Cai Lin's mouth.

*Buzz!* When the Essence Blood entered her mouth, Cai Lin's body, which had begun to turn gray, gradually regained its color. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I've finally repaid the favor."

With a *slap*, Xiao Yan's hands lost their strength, and he fell heavily to the ground, his eyes slowly closing. He was already on his last breath.

Xiao Yan had no other choice. He had already exhausted all his means.

"It's over... I'm going to break my promise to Xun Er for the first time."

Just as Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes, just when he thought he had no hope, a hidden energy within his body suddenly awakened. A very gentle energy surged out from every cell in Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan's overdrawn body was actually nourished at this moment, and even Xiao Yan's Soul power was replenished.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's body was like a silkworm transforming into a butterfly, with two Yin-Yang Dragons slowly enveloping Xiao Yan's body! With a *roar*, Dragon Qi soared into the sky!

Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill! Breakthrough after adversity! To unleash the true potential of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, it's not just about being critically injured and on the verge of death. If merely being critically injured was enough to achieve breakthrough after adversity, then simply having someone beat you half to death would suffice.

But in reality, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill requires one to exert all their strength, unleash all their potential, fight to the limit, and then enter a near-death state to truly unlock its effects.

This is a pill that triggers the body's potential! "This is! The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill!" Xiao Yan was also surprised; he had forgotten about it himself. After all, it had been so long, and Xiao Yan had always regarded it as a pill that granted a trace of Dragon Qi.

At this moment, a hint of gratitude appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. He touched the Bone Flame Ring on his finger and whispered, "Thank you, Teacher."

From afar, the Yin-Yang Dragon Qi of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill seemed like a pair of invisible hands protecting Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had refined the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill before, and he knew that with Han Feng's Alchemist skills, he could never have refined it. And in this world, there was only one person who could refine the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.

Xiao Yan knew that the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill that Han Feng had placed in the auction house was refined by Medicine Venerable. After being plotted against, Han Feng obtained this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and took it to the Black-Corner Region for auction.

Perhaps no one could have imagined that it would ultimately fall into Xiao Yan's hands by chance, and even save his life at this moment.

A pill refined by someone who had already died many years ago had actually saved the life of his successor.

Perhaps, the ways of the world are just that wondrous.

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged and began to silently circulate his Cultivation Method, refining the power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, turning all the potential unleashed in the previous battle into his own strength.

An unprecedented power was gradually emerging within Xiao Yan's body, as if a giant dragon was about to awaken and darkness was about to descend. Clusters of Strange Flames surrounded him, like the master of all flames! Time passed by, and eventually, three days had passed. The first to awaken was naturally Qing Lin.

Qing Lin slowly woke up, shaking her head. She felt like she had had a dream, and she seemed to have heard Xiao Yan calling her.

"Where is this?" Qing Lin stood up, her memory still stuck in the Great Hall.

At that time, after Xiao Yan and Cai Lin had eliminated all the Serpent-Race Puppets, Qing Lin heard a burst of Soul Transmission, saying that the final trial had begun, and then countless soul memories flooded into her mind.

These memory fragments were filled with evil, anger, and hatred.

Gradually, Qing Lin's memory began to recover, and she remembered what had happened.

"Young Master Xiao Yan!" Qing Lin was startled. She seemed to have lost control, and then Xiao Yan saved her!

Qing Lin unfolded her Dou Qi wings and flew to Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged. Seeing that Xiao Yan was cultivating, Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Qing Lin, who was unconscious, didn't know what happened after that.

Xiao Yan sensed Qing Lin's awakening, slowly opened his eyes, revealed a smile, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, that Half-Saint Essence Blood should have belonged to you, but I needed it to save my life, so I used it."

Qing Lin quickly waved her hand and said, "Qing Lin wouldn't dare. Young Master Xiao Yan saved my life, and everything I have belongs to you."

"Go, that Demon Saint inheritance is only for you, it's useless to me." Xiao Yan looked at the green snake and said.

That green snake was the inheritance of the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint.

Qing Lin looked at the green snake, but didn't rush over immediately, her face hesitant. Xiao Yan saw through it at a glance. Qing Lin already knew about the side effects of her Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils, and she was afraid of losing control again.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. When I obtain the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, I will be able to help you purify the negative power brought by the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils. Or do you not believe me?"

"How could that be? Young Master Xiao Yan is the most amazing. I'm just afraid..." Qing Lin quickly waved her hand. In her heart, Xiao Yan was invincible.

"I have a feeling that in the future, when we compete for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, we might need your power, Qing Lin. Therefore, I hope you can go and obtain that inheritance, and better understand what kind of power the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils really are." Xiao Yan changed his tone and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Xiao Yan say that he needed her, Qing Lin's eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily, "I understand, Young Master Xiao Yan."

Qing Lin didn't hesitate any longer. As long as it was something Xiao Yan needed, she would do her best to obtain it, and this inheritance was no exception.

Walking to the inherited green snake, sensing Qing Lin's arrival, the coiled green snake suddenly opened its eyes. Those eyes were exactly the same as Qing Lin's! As their eyes met, Qing Lin's Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils emitted a green light. The lights intertwined, and a beam of light enveloped Qing Lin. Immediately, the beam of light turned into a spherical shield, enveloping Qing Lin inside.

Seeing that Qing Lin had begun to inherit the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint's inheritance, Xiao Yan was relieved. Then, he looked at the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's position.

Cai Lin, who had absorbed the Demon Saint Essence Blood, had already begun to recover and should wake up soon.

Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes and continued to refine the medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Breakthrough after adversity, he needed to use the medicinal power to break through!

Time passed quickly, and soon half a year had passed. At a certain moment, suddenly, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely powerful Soul power burst out from Xiao Yan's body.

The terrifying Soul power fluctuations even distorted the space!!

Xiao Yan's Soul power had actually reached Mortal Realm Great Perfection!

He wasn't planning to use the power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill to break through to Dou Zong!

Breakthrough after adversity, Xiao Yan was planning to break through Mortal Realm and enter Spirit Realm!!!

Originally, Xiao Yan's Soul power had reached the level of a Rank 7 Intermediate-Level Alchemist. In addition, he had taken the Greater Soul Black-Purple Pill to enhance his Soul at that time, and he had also devoured so many Soul Bodies.

In the end, the medicinal effects of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill fully unleashed the soul force of those soul bodies, allowing Xiao Yan's soul force to advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the Mortal Realm Great Perfection in one fell swoop!

Xiao Yan knew that this was a golden opportunity, and he wouldn't get another chance, so he quickly formed hand seals and activated the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art! The greatest effect of the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art was that when cultivated to perfection, when the soul force reached the Mortal Realm Great Perfection, it could provide an opportunity to break through to the Spirit Realm.

This was the greatest effect of this soul Cultivation Method!

"Spirit Heart Soul Gathering!"

Buzz! A burst of milky white Soul Light emerged from Xiao Yan's body, all of which was Soul Light absorbed by Xiao Yan using the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art.

These Soul Lights surged from all parts of his body towards his brow! Xiao Yan's head buzzed instantly, and the soul power at his brow suddenly expanded at this moment. The swiftness of that expansion caused a sharp, throbbing pain in Xiao Yan's brow, as if his head was about to explode at this moment! Feeling this sudden change, Xiao Yan was also startled, but at this time, he didn't dare to be too reckless and could only steady his mind, watching the changes in his body.

Bang! Under this explosion, Xiao Yan's mind was directly blasted into a daze, his eyes were filled with golden light, and his mind was full of chaos.

A wisp of Soul Light flashed in his eyes. At this time, Xiao Yan saw the world with some differences.

"This is the Spirit Realm soul? Wonderful, truly wonderful." Xiao Yan sighed with emotion. Sure enough, the Mortal Realm was the realm of mortals. Only by entering the Spirit Realm could soul force be considered extraordinary.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked at the Storage Ring. After concentrating his soul force, he could actually see the Heavenly Flame Venerable sleeping inside. Looking at Qing Lin's cyan light zhào, although he couldn't see the situation inside, Xiao Yan could vaguely sense that Qing Lin had already completed most of it, and at this time, Qing Lin's cultivation was also improving.

Xiao Yan finally looked in Cai Lin's direction. She had already woken up and had now returned to her human form, wearing a loose robe, her body wrapped in a tuán of blood light.

In half a year, Cai Lin's injuries had completely recovered. Now she was just fully refining the Demon Saint Essence Blood, hoping to take the opportunity to break through to the Dou Zun realm! Xiao Yan sensed it for a while, and his soul force finally reached the Spirit Realm. One must know that even in the Central State Pill Domain, those whose soul force could reach the Spirit Realm were rare existences, all of them were old monster Alchemists.

And Xiao Yan was only twenty-four years old now! What made Xiao Yan regretful was that his cultivation had only increased by two stars, reaching the six-star Dou Huang. That Huangji Pill was considered wasted by Xiao Yan. The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill didn't improve his cultivation much, after all, Xiao Yan concentrated the medicinal power to break through the soul realm.

However, Xiao Yan's physical body also benefited from the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, and his body strength had also improved somewhat.

"Qing Lin should still need about half a year." As long as Qing Lin inherited the Azure-Eyed Serpent Saint's inheritance, she would naturally be able to leave this space.

Immediately, Xiao Yan took out the Pill Refining furnace and refined some medicinal liquid to replenish soul force, and integrated the medicinal liquid into the Heavenly Flame Venerable's Storage Ring.

Xiao Yan slowly stood up, glanced at the tattered and stained clothes on his body, and found a corner to change into clean clothes.

Seeing that Cai Lin and the others still needed some time, Xiao Yan didn't idle around and prepared to refine his ninth Strange Flame!

Yes, the ninth one! When he transformed into Shura, Xiao Yan swallowed the Bone Child Old Man's Soul Body, along with the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. Although the Wind Fury Dragon Flame had not been refined by Xiao Yan, there were eight Strange Flames in Xiao Yan's body!

That Wind Fury Dragon Flame couldn't even cause damage, it was surrounded by Mao Wu and a group of brothers and sisters, and was firmly sealed in Xiao Yan's body and couldn't leave.

And now, after Xiao Yan broke through to the Spirit Realm and refined all the medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, he finally had time to deal with this Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

"Nine Strange Flames, I wonder if this Wind Fury Dragon Flame can make the Burning Jue reach Heaven Rank Intermediate-Level." A gleam of fire flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, he still had some expectations for this Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

When the Burning Jue reached Heaven Rank Low-Level, Xiao Yan refined the Netherworld Poison Flame, which ranked twentieth, but the Netherworld Poison Flame's ranking was still a bit low, and it couldn't upgrade the Burning Jue again.

And this time, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was one rank higher than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranking eighteenth, so there was still some hope.

Xiao Yan slowly sat cross-legged and began to operate the Burning Jue to refine the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. The eight Strange Flames were like soldiers, almost pressing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the prisoner, and following the route of the Burning Jue.

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame had always been the Bone Child Old Man's Strange Flame, and it was not an unowned object. Even though the Bone Child Old Man was dead, its character was very 'proud', and it even had some unyielding spirit.

Xiao Yan was not in a hurry, he slowly operated the Burning Jue, slowly pushing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

It took Xiao Yan a month to finally tame this wild horse, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. With a buzz, Xiao Yan's Soul Collection already had nine Strange Flames! Void Swallowing Flame Earth Sub-Flame, Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, Netherworld Poison Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, now, another member was added, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame!
