"Finally, Dou Zun!"
Xiao Yan clenched his fist tightly, the surging sense of power filling him made him feel an urge to shatter the very space around him.
This kind of strength…after all the hardship, he had finally stepped into this realm!
A level that, even across the entire continent, belonged to those who stood at the very peak. To think back, that youth who once walked out of Wu Tan City as nothing more than a Dou Zhe, how could he have imagined that one day, he would set foot at such a height?
Letting out a sigh of emotion in his heart, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked not far away. There, beneath the hovering black sun, a blurred figure sat cross-legged, shrouded in black light. Xiao Yan grinned, "Brother Wei."
Wei Yang slowly rose to his feet. As he stood, that obscure, suppressed aura that had lain dormant within him suddenly erupted, surging upward.
One-Star Dou Zun, Two-Star Dou Zun, Three-Star Dou Zun…
That vast momentum spread like a giant dragon awakening from slumber, released without restraint. The entire Star Region seemed to tremble beneath his feet. Blood flames and lightning wrapped around his body.
His aura climbed madly, breaking through the Three-Star threshold and leaping directly into Four-Star. Finally, it stabilized at the peak of Four-Star, before gradually settling down.
Peak Four-Star—already the level of a mid-level Dou Zun.
And the black sun floating above Wei Yang's head also refused to remain silent, suddenly bursting with dazzling light.
Crackling~
The black radiance surged, intertwined with endless bolts of black lightning. From its aura, it too already possessed the might of a mid-level Dou Zun, and it even seemed not far from stepping into high-level Dou Zun.
Nearly a full year of continuously devouring the sea of fires—the one who had absorbed the bulk of that energy was Death Life Flame.
Feeling the vast power released from Wei Yang and the black sun, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled and shook his head. As expected, with such great progress on his side, how could Brother Wei possibly lag behind?
This seemingly endless sea of fires was their greatest nourishment for growth.
Hoo~
After a moment of overflowing might, Wei Yang finally exhaled lightly, retracting his aura. With a lift of his hand, the black sun fell, shrinking rapidly until it floated in the palm of his hand.
"This round of seclusion has been quite fruitful." Wei Yang smiled.
He and the Death Life Flame had both advanced to the mid-level Dou Zun, and the Death Life Flame had even taken a step further, already close to high-level Dou Zun. At this stage, even facing those peak Dou Zun experts, he felt no fear whatsoever.
"Congratulations, Brother Wei, your strength has advanced greatly." Xiao Yan smiled.
Wei Yang took a step forward, and in a flash appeared before Xiao Yan, the black sun floating on his palm as he too laughed, "And congratulations to you, brat, you've finally broken into Dou Zun."
"Mutual joy, mutual joy."
"Hahaha~"
The two looked at each other, then burst into hearty laughter. That carefree laughter echoed endlessly through the Star Region.
From the beginning of the Pill Gathering to now, nearly a year had passed. Compared to a year ago, their current strength was simply incomparable. Not only had they both stepped into the Dou Zun realm, but in terms of true power, had they not grown more than tenfold?
At this point, they finally possessed the true qualifications to stand tall upon the continent. Now, as they stood within the sea of fire, they almost completely ignored the searing flames and terrifying temperature.
The raging purple-black flames, when facing them, became as docile as lambs, utterly harmless.
Glancing at the black sun floating in Wei Yang's hand, Xiao Yan also flipped his palm. A small purple-brown fire dragon emerged, coiling and hovering in the air.
This newly born Heavenly Flame, its power was slightly weaker than the Black Sun, about at the low-level Dou Zun stage.
At this moment, the Black Sun and the little fire dragon were floating separately in the palms of the two, looking as if they were competing to outshine each other.
Roar~
The little fire dragon opened its mouth and roared at the Black Sun.
Buzz buzz buzz~
The Black Sun naturally refused to show weakness, trembling as it responded. Whether in terms of spirituality or power, the two flames seemed almost evenly matched.
Crackle~
From quarreling, they started to fight, the Black Sun shot out a bolt of black lightning.
Roar~
The little fire dragon opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire.
Watching the two little fellows go from bickering to fighting, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Although I don't know how terrifying those top-ranked Heavenly Flames are, especially those in the top five, based on my guess, our two kinds of Heavenly Flame shouldn't be too far behind. At the very least, they should qualify for around sixth or seventh place, right." Xiao Yan muttered.
His speculation wasn't without basis or confidence.
One had to know, his new Three Thousand Dragon Heart Flame was a fusion of five Heavenly Flames, with just the Three Thousand Burning Flame alone ranked ninth.
Adding in the other four fused Heavenly Flames, no matter what, it should at least reach sixth or seventh place, right.
This was Xiao Yan being conservative. In fact, he felt his Three Thousand Dragon Heart Flame, compared to even the fourth or fifth ranked, wouldn't be much weaker.
As for Wei Yang's Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, that went without saying. Xiao Yan never believed this flame was weak.
"So, I think Brother Wei, your Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame and my Three Thousand Dragon Heart Flame should at least be ranked sixth and seventh. You sixth, me seventh. And this is only temporary, in the future they'll rank even higher." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Maybe. But as for the exact ranking, there's no point in competing for that now." Wei Yang replied noncommittally.
Xiao Yan also smiled and nodded. He cultivated the Flame Mantra, fusing numerous Heavenly Flames, all aimed at forming the Emperor Flame. Naturally, he wouldn't dwell too much on mere rankings for the moment.
Then, Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly swept to the Sky Demon Puppet nearby, and he was slightly stunned. The Sky Demon Puppet was now completely transformed into a dark-golden color, giving off a feeling of being indestructible.
"Is this because of the tempering from the sea of fires here?" Xiao Yan paused, then realized.
The temperature of this sea of fires was terrifyingly high. If he hadn't successfully devoured the Three Thousand Burning Flame, he wouldn't have been so relaxed here now.
"Mm, earlier I noticed that when it was within the flames, it seemed to benefit from it. The flames could temper its body, making its strength increase bit by bit, so I just let it be burned by the sea of fire." Wei Yang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan reached out and patted the Sky Demon Puppet's body, silently sensing its toughness. Then, with some interest, he said, "Its strength really has increased a lot. I wonder if it can now fight that Old Mu Gu alone."
He then waved his hand and stored it away.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the vast purple-black sea of fires spread across this starry domain, and sighed, "All of this is the result of the Three Thousand Burning Flame absorbing the power of stars for countless years. Unfortunately, we can't absorb it all in a short time."
"Just leave it. When we have time, we can come back here to cultivate in seclusion." Wei Yang said.
In the future, when stepping into the Nine Refinements, they would need an enormous amount of energy for support. This place would indeed be an excellent spot for closed-door cultivation then.
Xiao Yan nodded, then his eyes rolled as he suddenly grinned, "But, we can't waste it now either. I have another way to use it."
As he spoke, he extended his palm toward the sea of fires, then suddenly clenched his hand. With that grasp, a terrifying suction force burst forth overwhelmingly. Then, torrents of vast purple-black flames transformed into fire pillars, howling as they rushed toward Xiao Yan's palm.
Condense!
Gazing at the majestic flames gathering at his palm, Xiao Yan's eyes hardened, and he shouted softly.
With the shout, the energy in his palm suddenly spun rapidly, and a massive vortex of flames, ten zhang in size, formed in his palm. One after another, fire pillars poured into the vortex, being compressed.
Wei Yang simply shook his head, watching from the side. Anyway, the sea of fire was vast, let him play around as much as he wanted.
