Chapter 106: The Gold and Silver Brothers

"Boom!"

As the crystalline palm imprint slammed into the massive energy barrier, the already-shaking shield—battered from the earlier Mountain-Crushing Seal—completely shattered. Countless glowing fragments exploded in mid-air and scattered in all directions.

At the same time the barrier crumbled, the experts from the Black-Corner Region all spat out blood as they were flung backwards. A few unlucky ones who were too close were immediately torn apart by the destructive power of the Ocean-Flipping Seal, while the others were severely injured.

The Emperor Seal Art truly lived up to its name as a high-level Earth Rank Dou Technique. Even the second imprint alone produced such terrifying results—breaking through the combined defense of multiple Dou Emperors and over a dozen Dou Kings. If word got out, the so-called Black Ranking would have to put Xiao Yan at the very top on the spot.

Though unleashing the second imprint with his current strength as a Two-Star Dou Emperor was taxing, Xiao Yan—as a high-tier Alchemist—never lacked for pills. Immediately after releasing the Ocean-Flipping Seal, he had thrown a handful of pills into his mouth to quickly replenish the Dou Qi consumed by the back-to-back use of the Emperor Seal Art.

Now that his Dou Qi had mostly recovered and the enemy formation was in disarray, he had no intention of letting them regroup. Flames exploded beneath his feet and his figure disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before a Dou King and smashed his fist forward before the man could react—blasting his head into pieces.

Without pausing, Xiao Yan activated his Flowing Flame Sky Movement again, blinking to another Dou King and killing him just as swiftly. With his current physical strength and the enhancement from the Little Glazed Body, dealing with Dou Kings required no fancy techniques—just raw power.

After eliminating two Dou Kings in quick succession, Xiao Yan's flaming wings flared again. This time, his target was Fan Lao—the one who had attacked him earlier with a blood spear. Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly reappear before him, Fan Lao's expression shifted slightly. But he was no ordinary fighter—he immediately formed a bizarre hand seal.

"Blood Morph!"

Layers of blood energy surged into Fan Lao's body. His features twisted viciously, his eyes turned crimson, and even his fingernails morphed into blood-colored claws. His figure transformed into a bolt of blood-red lightning, narrowly dodging Xiao Yan's punch.

'A secret technique, huh?' Xiao Yan smirked, his feet flashing red as his form flickered once more. Just as Fan Lao assumed he had escaped, Xiao Yan materialized again in front of him. His five fingers clenched, purple-black flames wrapping around his fist, crashing down with scorching wind force.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!"

Fan Lao hastily channeled energy and formed a blood-colored shield before him. But to his horror, it was utterly useless. Countless jets of intense flame energy erupted from within him, ripping his body apart in an instant.

This wasn't an ordinary Eight Extremes Collapse. It incorporated the explosive energy flow concept Xiao Yan had comprehended while training in magma, turning the internal force into a surging blast like an underground eruption—drastically increasing the technique's destructive power.

Xiao Yan had theorized this during his time in the Tager Desert and refined it further afterward, though he hadn't had a chance to test it in battle—Fan Lao was simply the first unlucky target.

Although the enhanced technique successfully killed Fan Lao, it also took time, which allowed two Dou Emperors—earlier blasted away by the Ocean-Flipping Seal—to recover and launch a pincer attack, cutting off Xiao Yan's escape.

These two were the leaders of the Eight Gates and Earth Flame Sect, both on par with Fan Lao in strength. Having already witnessed Xiao Yan's terrifying power, they immediately used their strongest attacks, intending to crush him in one blow.

"Furious Lion Roar!"

Facing their joint assault, Xiao Yan coldly sneered. He opened his mouth and released a punch-shaped soundwave that radiated outward in all directions. The sonic shockwave caused both Dou Emperors to freeze momentarily.

That moment of hesitation was all he needed. With another Eight Extremes Collapse, he instantly killed the stronger Earth Flame Sect Master, and followed up with a Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler, wiping out the other Dou Emperor as well.

It all happened in a flash. By the time Han Feng rushed forward to assist, the battlefield was already littered with three mangled corpses.

After slaying three Dou Emperors, Xiao Yan didn't pursue the others. Instead, he swallowed another handful of pills. Clearly, the string of high-intensity moves had taxed him heavily. Glancing at the Sea Heart Flame, he muttered inwardly, 'I really need to evolve my Flame Mantra soon. No matter how many techniques I master, without Dou Qi to fuel them, it's all meaningless.'

At this point, most of Han Feng's allies had been killed, and the remaining few were completely terrified. After all, three Dou Emperors—figures who could dominate entire regions of the Black-Corner Domain—had been casually wiped out by Xiao Yan. Even these hardened killers who lived on the edge felt fear creeping in.

"Your strength truly exceeded my expectations," Han Feng said as he clenched his fists, glancing at the devastation around him. "But regarding that Heavenly Flame, I will not give up. Even if you possessed the power of a Dou Venerate, I would still fight you for it!"

"Spare me the nonsense. If you want the flame, come take it. Otherwise, get lost," Xiao Yan replied coolly.

Han Feng sneered. "You're strong, no doubt. But in the Black-Corner Region, there are people who can deal with you!" He clapped lightly and said, "Please come forth… Gold and Silver Brothers!"

"Hehe, who would've thought that so many experts in the Black-Corner Region would be stumped by a snot-nosed brat. What a joke!"

As laughter rang out, two eerie figures—one golden, one silver—suddenly appeared at Han Feng's side. At the sight of them, even the surviving Black-Corner Region experts gasped in shock.

"The Gold and Silver Brothers?!"
