891. Dou Sheng Xiao Yan
891. Dou Sheng Xiao Yan
As the five-colored flame vortex slowly rotated, helping Xiao Yan suppress the surging battle qi within his body, the long-dormant black Void Devouring Flame on Xiao Yan's right arm seemed to be stirred by the immense commotion of the five flames merging. A barely perceptible black flame quietly appeared, attempting to make contact with the massive energy.
However, just as it emerged, a large hand constructed from condensed soul power silently appeared above it.
"Hmph, still trying to cause trouble?" Xiao Xuan clenched his fist.
Xiao Xuan's soul power was incredibly strong. After Xiao Xuan captured the Void Devouring Flame, which could devour anything, it was completely unable to move. No matter how much it struggled and twisted, releasing its terrifying devouring power, it could not be shaken in the slightest.
Xiao Xuan remained indifferent, as if he were merely toying with a trivial trinket. He tightened his grip on the black flame in his palm, examining it repeatedly. After a moment, Xiao Xuan made a discovery, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"As expected, they've kept it well hidden... The methods of the Soul Clan can't escape this sinister approach after all."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xuan's soul power shot out instantly, piercing the core of the black flame! If Xiao Yan were watching from the side, he would have seen that his ancestor's soul power, with such a simple movement, was even more terrifying than the power of his own fully released Shadow Needle!
laugh--
The black flames churned and twisted violently, instantly contorting the illusory face of Xiao Yan into a grimace of extreme pain. It instinctively tried to resist, but faced with the overwhelming difference in Xiao Xuan's strength, all struggles were futile.
Just moments later, the black flames transformed back into a quiet, burning, pitch-black fire, hovering silently in Xiao Xuan's palm. All the hidden techniques within the black flames vanished completely with this single strike.
With the enhancement of the five different flames, Xiao Xuan's skill in handling the black flames allowed the Burning Flame Technique to operate wildly under his control, severely suppressing all Dou Qi. Xiao Yan's aura also began to recede, eventually slowly returning to its previous level, settling steadily at the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng!
The next moment, Xiao Yan, who was sitting quietly in the pool, suddenly opened his eyes, and a vast and powerful pressure belonging only to a Dou Sheng was suddenly released from Xiao Yan.
boom!
The pool water surrounding him was instantly blasted away and surged up under the impact of this aura, turning into a curtain of water that filled the sky! An invisible wave of energy suddenly spread out from Xiao Yan as the center, and the space hummed violently wherever it passed.
Xiao Yan's body also completed its final sublimation at this moment. The transformation brought about by advancing to the Dou Sheng level made his originally robust bronze body become as crystal clear and flawless as mutton fat jade.
What is most eye-catching is the ball of light in the center of his forehead. Originally, there was only one kind of light here, but after Xiao Yan successfully broke through, the light here began to change continuously. The five colors of cyan, blue, purplish-black, blood red, and light black intermingled and reflected each other, which were the colors of Xiao Yan's strange fire!
"call--"
Then Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest. This breath was extremely long and resounding! The huge sound wave impacted the walls of the hall, causing the entire space to tremble slightly again.
"That felt great! That really felt great!"
As Xiao Yan felt the surging Dou Qi within his body, an unprecedented sense of power filled his heart, as if he could move mountains and fill seas with a mere gesture, and control the universe!
However, this leakage of power lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. With a thought, Xiao Yan perfectly contained the surging Dou Sheng aura within his body, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, without the slightest leakage. The imposing Xiao Yan of a moment ago instantly transformed back into the seemingly ordinary young man with his restrained aura. This level of effortless control over power was a testament to his masterful mastery of it.
"How does it feel to advance to Dou Sheng?" Xiao Xuan's voice rang out at the right moment. He stepped down from the void and landed in front of Xiao Yan. Looking at this transformed junior, his face showed an undisguised smile of approval. He could sense that Xiao Yan's current state was perfect.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his hands, feeling the immense power flowing through his flesh and bones.
"It's better than ever before! It feels like the world is in the palm of my hand!"
"You have completely absorbed the Xiao Clan's bloodline, and you have officially advanced to the Dou Sheng realm. The power of the bloodline and your cultivation are perfectly integrated, and there are no more hidden dangers. Of course, what flows in your body is the last bloodline of the Xiao Clan. If we want to restore the glory of the Xiao Clan in the future, we can only rely on you."
Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this: "Ancestor, rest assured, although I dare not say for sure that I will be able to reach the Dou Di realm, I will certainly strive for it throughout my life!"
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yan, who was still sensing his own Dou Qi, and smiled with satisfaction: "When a Dou Sheng advances, he resonates with heaven and earth and is able to comprehend a Heaven-rank Dou Technique. What kind of Dou Technique did you comprehend this time? Show it to me."
Upon hearing this, a very strange expression appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
He was slightly taken aback at first, then touched his forehead uncertainly, and hesitated, "This... what I've comprehended doesn't seem to be a specific combat technique?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback, and Xun'er and Huo Zhi beside him also widened their beautiful eyes instantly, their pretty faces filled with disbelief.
After all, it's an ironclad rule in the Dou Qi Continent that a Dou Sheng must comprehend a Heaven-Rank Dou Technique; the Yan Clan and the Ancient Clan have never had an exception among their many Dou Sheng.
"Could it be... there's nothing there?"
"Yes, it does exist, but... it's really not some specific, usable fighting technique." Xiao Yan himself found this situation somewhat unbelievable and quickly explained.
Then Xiao Yan began to demonstrate what he had gained. His hand seals flew, and in the blink of an eye, a mark with nine lines appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead. This mark was ancient and majestic. At the same time, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body also surged and increased rapidly, reaching the late stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng!
Xiao clan crest!
It was clearly the power amplification of the Xiao clan's clan mark in its complete form after activation!
"During his breakthrough to Dou Sheng, he already actively condensed the complete Xiao Clan emblem using his own bloodline power and understanding of the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Xuan looked at the powerful Xiao Clan emblem on Xiao Yan's forehead, feeling the significant increase in strength it brought. He nodded. Xiao Yan's ability to refine the emblem so directly proved that his bloodline fusion was exceptionally successful.
So it's a good thing that the clan pattern was formed so quickly. However, Xiao Xuan had a feeling that Xiao Yan's breakthrough was not just about forming the clan pattern.
(Thanks to Yan Yu!)
