Chapter 215 Nine Netherworld Flames (First Update, Please Vote)

215.

The system ignored Xiao Feng's complaints and directly put all nine simulated rewards that he couldn't afford into the system store.

"Holy crap! Is this thing really that powerful?"

Xiao Feng initially disliked the [Taotie Cross Ship], but after reviewing its information, he was completely dumbfounded.

The [Gluttonous Cross Ship] that Xiao Feng drew not only has the ability to travel through wormholes, but is also equipped with a large number of technological weapons.

For example, an energy shield that can easily withstand nuclear attacks, or an interstellar energy cannon that can cleanse the Earth.

Although the Taotie army is portrayed as weak in the anime, it doesn't mean they are not powerful.

If Karl hadn't promised Queen Morgana that the Taotie army wouldn't use weapons of mass destruction against Earth, they could have launched a massive, all-encompassing attack on Earth directly from space.

Moreover, the reason why Earthlings were able to destroy the Taotie Cross Ship was because Rose used her abilities to create a large hole in the mothership's energy shield; otherwise, even a nuclear attack would not have been able to damage the mothership.

Therefore, the power of the Taotie Cross Ship was far greater than Xiao Feng had imagined.

Most importantly, with this mothership as a sample, Xiao Feng can study it and reverse engineer many of the high-tech features it carries.

For example, wormhole jumps and faster-than-light travel—each of these technologies can greatly enhance Xiao Feng's weapon-refining skills.

After making his decision, Xiao Feng immediately used the Imperial Artifact [Dimensional Array] to teleport himself back to the Supreme Alliance headquarters.

After returning to the Supreme Alliance headquarters, Xiao Feng went to the underground research institute he had built using the Stone-Stone Fruit, retrieved the Gluttonous Cross Ship, and handed it over to hundreds of shadow clones for research.

……

a few days later

Abyss of the Underworld

"Ok?"

Just as Xiao Feng was cultivating with the help of those soul-corroding and bone-penetrating yin winds as usual, he suddenly felt that the Wind Fury Dragon Flame in his body was moving strangely, as if something dangerous was approaching.

!!!

Following the direction from which the strange feeling came, Xiao Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

A ball of black flame, swept by gusts of eerie wind, was rapidly approaching Xiao Feng.

"That is……"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Nine Nether Wind Flame!"

The Nine Nether Wind Flame ranks tenth on the list of strange flames. It was born in the endless abyss of an extremely yin land, where the yin wind blows all year round. This strange flame took shape in the place where the wind is most intense.

A strange wind emanates from this fire, and when this wind reaches the ears, it causes a strange sense of unease, and this strange sound can cause emotional fluctuations.

Since Xiao Feng completed his fifth transformation, his physical strength has been comparable to that of a peak seventh-tier magical beast. With the amplification of the Azure Dragon Fruit, his physical strength is even comparable to that of a low-level eighth-tier magical beast.

Therefore, Xiao Feng came to the deepest part of the Netherworld Abyss. The yin wind here was extremely terrifying, and even a Dou Zun expert would find it difficult to withstand. It was just right for him to use for cultivation.

It's not surprising that the legendary Nine Netherworld Flames would be born in such an extremely harsh environment.

As for why Xiao Feng, after cultivating in the Netherworld Abyss for so long, was unable to sense the existence of the Nine Nether Wind Flame earlier with his mental power, it was because his mental power was suppressed by the yin wind in the Netherworld Abyss.

Although mental power appears invisible and intangible, it is ultimately just a manifestation of soul power. Therefore, the yin wind that can interfere with soul perception can also isolate Xiao Feng's mental power.

The closer one gets to the bottom of the Netherworld Abyss, the stronger the surrounding yin winds become, and the greater the suppression of mental power.

When Xiao Feng arrived at the deepest part of the Netherworld Abyss, his mental power had been completely destroyed.

As long as Xiao Feng dares to let his mental energy leave his body, it will be instantly blown away by the surrounding yin wind, and it is better to see with his eyes.

As the Nine Nether Wind Flame drew ever closer, Xiao Feng summoned his emotional clone, "Kong Xi."

As Xiao Feng's cultivation broke through to the second-star Dou Zong level, the strength of his emotional clone was also greatly enhanced. The aura emanating from "Kong Xi" had clearly reached the level of a first-star Dou Zong.

"Go! Devour the Nine Nether Wind Flame!"

"Swallow it! Swallow it! Hahaha..."

As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, "Kongxi" flapped its wings violently, let out a neurotic laugh, and rushed into the pitch-black Nine Netherworld Flame.

"Zizzizi..."

The moment Kong Xi touched the Nine Nether Wind Flame, his body instantly turned into charcoal, and then into a cloud of black powder.

It should be noted that the Nine Nether Wind Flame is an even more powerful strange fire than the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Not to mention that Kong Xi's cultivation level is only one-star Dou Zong, even if his cultivation level breaks through to one-star Dou Zun, it would be difficult for him to withstand the burning of the Nine Nether Wind Flame.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Feng showed no disappointment whatsoever; instead, he revealed a confident smile.

Because emotional clones like "Kongxi" possess strong immortality, as long as Xiao Feng's original body does not die, he will not die.

Although "Kongxi" was burned to black ash by the Nine Nether Wind Flame, it was not completely burned to death.

Next, as long as "Kongxi" gradually develops resistance to the Nine Nether Wind Flame under its constant burning, Xiao Feng can try to subdue it.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, more than half a month had gone by.

After more than half a month of burning, "Kongxi" gradually returned to its bird-like appearance from a mass of black ash.

"I'm back again, hahaha..."

Having finally regained his mobility, "Kongxi" let out another fit of manic laughter, ignoring the burning of the Nine Nether Wind Flame, and pounced toward the location of his original strange fire.

Under the frenzied devouring of "Kongxi", the original strange fire that was enough to severely injure a Dou Zun powerhouse was quickly devoured and refined by it.

After Kongxi refined the Nine Nether Wind Flame, Xiao Feng then retrieved it back into his body.

"Rumble..."

As "Kongxi" merged with his main body, an incomparably powerful energy suddenly erupted within Xiao Feng's body. This energy was the energy fed back by the Nine Nether Wind Flame's original strange fire.

Xiao Feng immediately sat cross-legged and began to fully activate the Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon, frantically refining the energy.

Dense, cyan patterns rapidly appeared on Xiao Feng's body, transforming into solid threads resembling silkworm silk. These threads coalesced into a giant cyan cocoon, about ten feet in diameter, completely enveloping him within it.

"Kakaka..."

Nearly five days passed before a strange sound came from the giant blue cocoon, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

"Crack!"

A fist as white as jade emerged first from the giant blue cocoon, followed closely by Xiao Feng, who emerged completely naked from within.

Chapter 216. A Huge Profit, No Loss

216.

With Xiao Feng successfully completing his sixth transformation, his physical strength was greatly enhanced, making him comparable to an eighth-tier mid-level magical beast.

If Xiao Feng were to transform into a dragon-human form, his physical strength would be even greater, making him one of the best among eighth-tier magical beasts.

"Ding ding ding..."

The surrounding yin winds, strong enough to injure even a Dou Zun expert, only left white marks on Xiao Feng's body, which seemed to be carved from the finest jade. They couldn't even break through his skin's defenses.

In addition to the improvement in his physical strength, Xiao Feng's cultivation level also increased dramatically from a two-star Dou Zong to the peak of a five-star Dou Zong.

After adjusting to his increased strength, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the shattered blue giant cocoon.

"Click, click, click..."

With a crisp chewing sound, Xiao Feng swallowed all the fragments of the green cocoon containing pure wind attribute energy.

When Xiao Feng finished eating the last piece of the green cocoon, his cultivation level naturally broke through to the sixth-star Dou Zong.

Feeling the immense power of his battle qi, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and then slowly raised his hands.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two strange flames of different colors appeared in Xiao Feng's palm, one black and one yellow, namely the Nine Nether Wind Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

Under normal circumstances, each person can only refine one type of strange fire at most; otherwise, the two strange fires will clash violently, causing the refiner to self-destruct and die.

However, there are always exceptions. For example, those who cultivate the Burning Technique can refine multiple different flames at the same time.

Although Xiao Feng did not cultivate the Burning Technique, he had an emotional clone.

Just like when Xiao Feng ate a Devil Fruit, as long as his main body and his emotional clone each ate a Devil Fruit, the power conflict between the Devil Fruits could be avoided.

The same principle applies to refining different kinds of flames. Xiao Feng's main body and his emotional clone each refine a different kind of flame's origin, and this will not cause any conflict between the two.

To give a simple example, it's like when Xiao Yan uses the Heavenly Rank Battle Skill "Ghost Possession," his soul merges with Yao Lao's, but the different flames between the two don't conflict.

After staring at the two different strange flames for a while, Xiao Feng suddenly had a bold idea and slowly put his hands together.

Under Xiao Feng's control, the two different flames merged and compressed, condensing into a fireball that was half black and half yellow.

"Buzzing..."

Just when Xiao Feng thought the two different flames could be successfully fused, the fireball suddenly began to vibrate violently.

"not good!"

Xiao Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly transformed into a golden light and disappeared from the spot.

"boom!!!"

The two-colored fireball exploded with a roar, transforming into a pillar of fire over a hundred feet in diameter that shot into the sky, blasting countless spatial rifts into the surrounding void.

"Not fun. This thing is too dangerous. Let Xiao Yanzi play with it!" Xiao Feng said, his lips twitching slightly as he looked at the slowly healing spatial rifts.

It is obvious that without the mediation of the Burning Technique, trying to forcibly fuse different different flames together is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.

……

next morning

Deep within the royal palace of the holy city of Gama.
