979. Crimson Flames Piercing the Sun
The appearance of Zi Yan and the unexpected acquisition of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit rekindled the old man's hope. He longed to see the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void once again reach the pinnacle of the continent.
Therefore, when the Northern Dragon King set his sights on Zi Yan, he knew that even if he were to die today, he had to create an opportunity for Zi Yan to leave.
Xiao Yan's arrival made it possible for his ideas to truly come to fruition.
"Young man, everything depends on you!"
Aoki's heart cried out silently.
Xiao Yan, who was fighting against two powerful figures, naturally had no idea what Qingmu was thinking. He had already pushed the Heaven-Rank Battle Skill, Fire Glaze Beast Form, to its limit, but the two dragons showed no fear on their faces.
Xiao Yan was well aware that, given his current state, he would likely find it difficult to gain any advantage against these two.
The good news is that this is not Xiao Yan's strongest state at this stage.
With a thought, Xiao Yan's Xiao Clan Dou Di bloodline began to activate, and all the Dou Qi within his body instantly became violent. Xiao Yan's strength, which had been stuck at the peak of the One-Star Dou Sheng realm, began to increase rapidly at a tangible speed. Although he was delayed for a while when facing the bottleneck of the Two-Star Dou Sheng realm, he ultimately succeeded in reaching the Two-Star Dou Sheng realm under the strong pull of the continuous power within his body.
The power of the Xiao clan's insignia enhances this!
On his forehead appeared the unique Xiao clan crest, now found nowhere else on the continent.
"This is the clan mark of a descendant of a Dou Di! It really is him!"
"It's been so many years since I've seen a member of the Xiao clan. It seems I can take care of one of them myself today."
Just as the two members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan were about to make their move, they noticed that Xiao Yan's aura was still increasing, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"How is that possible?"
As the ancient clan Dou Di bloodline and the Yan clan Dou Di bloodline, which were hidden at the core of Xiao Yan's body, took effect one after another, his aura, which had stopped, began to grow wildly again and continued to increase!
The lines on Xiao Yan's forehead kept changing, and eventually the three major clan markings combined to enhance his power!
Xiao Yan's strength skyrocketed from the peak of a one-star Dou Sheng to the mid-stage of a two-star Dou Sheng!
The improvement may seem small, but in such a battle, the difference in strength before and after is like heaven and earth.
Seeing the two dragons attacking him again, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
This smile stemmed from Xiao Yan's satisfaction with his current strength, and also from the fact that the two men were coming towards him, and the distance between them was now far too close.
"Celestial-Rank Combat Technique: Crimson Flames Piercing the Sun."
For Xiao Yan, the Bodhi Tree's hundred lifetimes of reincarnation are beyond praise. Not only did it provide him with immeasurable experience in alchemy, but it also allowed him to perfectly master the fighting techniques and soul skills he had not yet successfully cultivated.
In the battle just now, he had used Soul Sealing and Sense Restriction in succession, as well as Fire Glaze Beast Form, which was why he was able to gain the upper hand in the battle.
However, Xiao Yan refrained from using the other fighting technique he acquired during his trip with the Yan Clan, because he knew very well that this technique was most effective when used for the first time, when the opponent was completely unprepared.
Now, this is the best opportunity that Xiao Yan has been waiting for. The two people in front of him have not yet fully figured out the extent of his strength after using the three clan emblems.
The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames rapidly rose from Xiao Yan's body, and he and the flames successfully merged into one. This was no longer a simple use of flames; Xiao Yan was completely bathed in the blazing fire. Those who looked over couldn't even tell whether Xiao Yan was enveloped by the flames or had become part of them.
The next moment, Lieshan felt as if he had been firmly locked in place, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"not good!"
Without any prompting, the survival instinct rising within him instantly transformed him from human form into his true form as the Void Dragon. The Void Dragon, hundreds of feet tall, was incredibly imposing. Every scale on Lie Shan's body emitted a lustrous glow, making him appear like a giant fortress, giving off an aura of indestructibility and absolute impenetrability.
Xiao Yan watched all this with a slight smile still on his lips.
Even if you sense it, what can you do? Your Heavenly Rank Battle Technique isn't so easy to dodge or withstand!
The flames that coexisted with Xiao Yan's body, after being continuously empowered by Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, began to shrink at a visible speed after rising and accumulating power. The area occupied by the originally flamboyant flames continued to decrease, and when compressed to the extreme, the flames even took on a dark color.
However, this color wasn't pure black; it was the extreme black of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flames. Xiao Yan appeared as if he had become a black fireman, and behind him, a black sun about ten feet long appeared.
The next moment, Xiao Yan moved. There was no earth-shattering noise, just a simple and crisp sound.
hum-
In the blink of an eye, he had already traversed to the location of Lie Shan. In Lie Shan's dragon eyes, which were several meters in size, only the figure of Xiao Yan transformed into a fire-man could be reflected.
The trail left by Xiao Yan's rapid dash left a black mark in the middle due to the high speed and temperature.
Compared to the enormous body of the Ancient Void Dragon, Xiao Yan was almost negligible. Yet, this seemingly insignificant Xiao Yan pierced through the Ancient Void Dragon's most prized features: its scales, skin, and bones. The area Xiao Yan passed through was so vast that not even a speck of ash remained.
The black mark formed by Xiao Yan pierced through the Taixu Ancient Dragon Lieshan, which was as large as a mountain.
A molten cavity with smooth, mirror-like edges, a diameter of only a few dozen feet, and open from front to back, radiating a dazzling red light, appeared out of nowhere in the very center of Lieshan's chest!
His heart was pierced by Xiao Yan in the most brutal way.
When the black flames pierced his heart, they also lingered on his body, like a persistent affliction, constantly burning his body. The enormous ancient dragon body became the best nourishment for these flames, burning alone.
The light in its dragon eyes instantly went out, leaving only deathly silence.
Its mountain-like body trembled violently, and its massive form began to tilt, like a falling star.
The crimson flames pierced the sun; the power of this single strike was terrifying!
Even now, Xiao Yan's actions did not stop. A soul needle, which could not be detected at all, shot out, aiming directly at the soul that Lie Shan had escaped.
With the blessing of the Soul Transfer Technique, no one in the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void can compare with Xiao Yan in terms of soul power.
The Soul Needle, which had left no trace, successfully reached the soul of Lie Shan, who had just perished, causing him unbearable pain as his soul had just entered the Heavenly Realm. His original plan to escape was completely thwarted by Xiao Yan, as the soul's agony made it impossible for him to even conceal his form.
In the end, Lie Shan's soul, along with his demonic core, was successfully captured by Xiao Yan.
