Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

"One, two, three... there are twelve in total!"

Xiao Yan subconsciously swallowed, and there were twelve fire demonic beasts surrounding him!

Having just exchanged blows with the giant eagle formed from flames, Xiao Yan could sense that the opponent's strength was approximately that of a one-star Great Dou Master.

Although Xiao Yan is now a three-star Great Dou Master, and his battle power has reached five stars after awakening divine runes, it would still be extremely difficult for him to deal with twelve one-star Great Dou Masters.

"Are all of these different types of flames? Or is there only one of them?"

Xiao Yan dared not make any rash moves, and the fire demon beasts did not immediately launch an attack, seemingly waiting for Xiao Yan to make a mistake.

However, before Xiao Yan could react, a few breaths later, all the fire demon beasts attacked in a swarm, directly surrounding him.

Xiao Yan immediately spread his eagle wings and quickly flew into the sky, only stopping a hundred meters above the bottom of the canyon, not even enough to touch the gale.

The advantage of this is that it is difficult for ground monsters to surround and attack you, but the disadvantage is that your battle aura is consumed rapidly as the Eagle Wings unfold.

Even at high altitudes, it's not safe, as there are still two fire monsters capable of flight.

One was the giant fire eagle that Xiao Yan had previously defeated, and the other was a giant fire fish that seemed to be swimming in the air.

Two fiery beasts attacked Xiao Yan from the left and right, while the giant fiery eagle let out a loud cry and flapped its wings, creating a scorching hot wind.

The fiery fish swung its tail, splashing up waves of flames.

The air in the sky was scalding hot; every breath would cause an unbearable burning pain for an ordinary person.

Xiao Yan dared not linger in battle, so he immediately lowered his flight altitude and launched a surprise attack in one direction, while simultaneously dodging the pincer attack from the two fire demonic beasts.

The air waves and the flame tide collided above them, and the flame tide shattered instantly, turning into a rain of fire that fell to the earth!

It's fortunate that there's really nothing flammable in the canyon's strata, otherwise it would definitely have caused a forest fire.

But low-altitude flight wasn't without its downsides; the ten flightless fire monsters on the ground began to open their mouths and spew fireballs.

They are formed from condensed flames and can also launch a portion of their own flames as fireballs.

The attack range of these fireballs is within 100 meters. As long as Xiao Yan lowers his position, he will be bombarded by wave after wave of fireballs.

"These damn things are so hard to deal with."

Xiao Yan flew at high speed, constantly dodging fireballs coming from below.

However, with ten fireballs in each round, and the pursuit of the giant fire eagle and the giant fire fish, Xiao Yan dared not catch his breath for even a moment.

Occasionally, they would even be hit by fireballs from below, and once they touched the fireballs, they would immediately begin to burn continuously.

They were actually using Xiao Yan's own fighting spirit as fuel!

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's divine runes flickered, and after consuming an additional amount of Dou Qi, the flames were successfully extinguished.

However, compared to the purple beast fire sprayed by the little amethyst winged lion before, this blood-red flame consumes several times more battle qi.

Xiao Yan is now in a precarious situation, let alone fighting back; even escaping is a struggle for him.

At this moment, Xiao Yan chose a direction and flew straight ahead. He no longer dared to hope to subdue the strange fire; he would be grateful if he could just escape.

The fire-eating beasts relentlessly pursued him, but none of them could match Xiao Yan's speed.

Xiao Yan traversed the Beast Graveyard, and the surrounding temperature dropped slightly.

The pursuing fire monsters vanished in an instant.

"I see. It seems these things do have limitations on their range of movement."

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, folded his wings, and landed slowly.

The disappearance of these fire monsters also proves that none of them were the strange fire itself.

Xiao Yan guessed that these fire demon beasts were likely a part separated from the strange fire, and could not stray too far from the main body of the strange fire.

"Truly worthy of being called the Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts! If given time to develop, wouldn't it be able to summon tens of thousands of fire beasts?"

Xiao Yan considered leaving, but he was also somewhat unwilling.

If he were completely unable to resist them, that would be one thing, but unfortunately, each of these fire monsters was only a Great Battle Master in strength.

This means that the strange fire itself hasn't grown very high, and I still have a sliver of a chance.

But even this sliver of opportunity made Xiao Yan unwilling to give it up in vain.

"Sigh, if only Yunzhi were here."

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. If there were a Dou Huang like Yun Zhi, all these fire beasts would be no match for her, and the true form of the strange fire could be easily found.

However, reality left Xiao Yan no room for assumptions; he needed to make a decision about whether to stay or leave.

"Let's recover our fighting spirit first."

Xiao Yan walked along the edge of the canyon, found a relatively safe spot on a large rock with a wide view, and began to recover his Dou Qi.

Perhaps it was because the surrounding temperature kept the divine runes in a highly active state, which also helped Xiao Yan absorb battle qi, resulting in a rapid recovery of his battle qi this time.

It was fully recovered in just twenty minutes. Of course, mental energy cannot be quickly recovered through cultivation.

"The fire beasts created by these strange flames are all at the level of Great Dou Masters. The true form of the strange flames must have already reached the Dou Spirit level. It seems I won't be able to obtain this opportunity now. Let's go."

After weighing the options, Xiao Yan decided to give up and planned to wait until his strength improved before searching for the Strange Flame.

Just as he turned to leave, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of a black dot on the other side of the wall.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cave at the bottom of a cliff, and the parchment inside his storage ring, which had previously exhausted its soul power, suddenly began to stir again.

Xiao Yan took out the parchment, and another, more subtle soul imprint emerged, condensing into the last beacon, pointing to the cave opposite!

Xiao Yan was taken aback, not expecting that there was another soul imprint left on the coordinate map of the strange fire.

However, this soul imprint is extremely subtle, and can only condense into a single beacon.

However, the existence of this sign also made Xiao Yan realize that there might be something inside that cave.

Xiao Yan put away the map of the strange fire and walked into the cave.

When Xiao Yan reached the entrance of the cave, the last soul beacon also exhausted its power and completely dissipated.

The canyon wasn't actually that wide, about 300 meters long, and it took Xiao Yan less than a minute to walk to the other side.

However, he did not rush into the cave. Instead, he took out a luminous stone from his storage ring and threw it in.

The illuminating stone tumbled and bounced on the ground, eventually landing deep inside the cave and illuminating a small area.

After confirming there was no danger, Xiao Yan went inside. The cave wasn't very big; the distance from the entrance to the deepest part was only twenty or thirty meters.

At the end of the cave, a ragged skeleton was found.

The skeleton leaned against the stone wall of the cave, and in front of it was a scroll covered with countless dust.
