Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 20 Fusion of Strange Flames

Inside the meditation room.

Having gained experience from devouring the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Jiang Xing easily extracted the original fire seed of the Fallen Heart Flame.

He poured out the Earth Spirit Pill from the jade bottle and swallowed it without hesitation.

The Earth Spirit Pill is a sixth-grade elixir that can help protect one's mind and spirit and clear away fire poison.

When he devours the Fallen Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame will generate the characteristics of Heart Fire. With the Earth Spirit Pill, he can be helped to refine the Fallen Heart Flame to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, after taking the Earth Spirit Pill, Jiang Xing swept away his previous worries and immediately calmed his mind, free from all distractions.

Then Jiang Xing swallowed the Fallen Heart Flame he had just peeled off in one gulp.

As soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered his body, Jiang Xing felt that familiar burning sensation again.

Although the sensation was even stronger than when he devoured the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, Jiang Xing, having experienced it before, was still able to endure it.

Even after the Fallen Heart Flame entered the body, it still tried to run rampant.

Jiang Xing condensed several nets within his body, attempting to trap the Fallen Heart Flame. However, Jiang Xing overestimated his battle qi and underestimated the terrifying destructive power of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Under the intense heat emanating from the Fallen Heart Flame, the Dou Qi Net was instantly incinerated into nothingness the moment it approached.

Wow, this Fallen Heart Flame is pretty powerful!

There was no other way, so Jiang Xing had to gather his battle qi again. However, this time he didn't want to gather a battle qi net again, because he estimated that the temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame was so high that even if he gathered more battle qi nets, they wouldn't be able to contain it.

Therefore, Jiang Xing decided to change his strategy. He directly conjured a thick wall, intending to drive the Fallen Heart Flame over.

Through Jiang Xing's continuous efforts, the Fallen Heart Flame was finally driven to its designated location.

The fusion of different flames requires erasing their intelligence, so Jiang Xing controlled the energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to impact the Fallen Heart Flame. Although the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranked lower than the Fallen Heart Flame, it had the energy replenished by Jiang Xing's battle qi.

One had supplies, the other didn't; the final outcome was predictable.

After expending considerable effort, the Fallen Heart Flame's essence finally gave out, and its sentience was directly shattered by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

The Fallen Heart Flame, which had lost its sentience, had now calmed down and was no longer running amok like it had at the beginning.

So Jiang Xing used his fighting spirit to push the Fallen Heart Flame directly into his meridians and began to circulate the Burning Technique to refine it.

Refining the Fallen Heart Flame was not very dangerous, so Jiang Xing quickly completed the refining process.

After refining is complete, the next step is the most important and also the most dangerous fusion process.

However, Jiang Xing did not start immediately. He had just spent a lot of his battle qi to drive the Fallen Heart Flame into his meridians, and he needed to recover his battle qi now.

Facing this most difficult and dangerous step, Jiang Xing must complete it in his best condition.

Jiang Xing took out a sixth-grade Qi Restoration Pill from his storage ring. This Qi Restoration Pill had the same effect as Xiao Yan's Qi Recovery Pill, which could accelerate the recovery of fighting spirit in a short period of time.

However, Jiang Xing's Qi-restoring pill is of a higher grade than the Qi-recovering pill, so its recovery speed is naturally incomparable to that of the Qi-recovering pill.

After taking the Qi-restoring pill, Jiang Xing's battle qi was quickly restored.

After adjusting his state, Jiang Xing focused his mind on his body.

At this moment, the Fallen Heart Flame was suspended above the cyclone, and Jiang Xing summoned the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

After the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was summoned, the previously calm Fallen Heart Flame suddenly began to boil.

Different flames are natural enemies. If they encounter each other, they will instinctively want to devour each other and absorb each other's energy to strengthen themselves.

As Jiang Xing controlled the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to approach, he began to activate the Burning Technique. As the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame drew closer, the Fallen Heart Flame boiled more and more violently.

Jiang Xing activated the Burning Technique, channeling his battle qi into the system in an attempt to stabilize the two.

However, this was of no use; the closer the strange fire got, the more violently it boiled.

Left with no other option, Jiang Xing had to increase the input of his battle qi.

Fortunately, increasing the input of battle qi did have an effect, and Jiang Xing finally managed to bring the two together.

After the two strange flames came into contact, they crackled like firecrackers, followed by waves of pain. However, even in pain, Jiang Xing could only endure it, because he knew that this was the critical moment for fusing the strange flames and he absolutely could not be distracted.

Jiang Xing channeled his Burning Jue Battle Qi into the two, and under the influence of the Burning Jue Battle Qi, the explosion gradually weakened, but they did not merge together.

Jiang Xing continued to increase the input of his battle qi, and finally, to his surprise, he discovered that the two different colored strange flames were slowly beginning to merge.

When Jiang Xing reduced his battle qi input, the point of contact between the two began to explode again.

Startled, Jiang Xing quickly increased his input of battle qi, and the two began to merge again.

There was no other way; the consumption of battle qi was too great. Jiang Xing could only output battle qi while simultaneously taking Qi-restoring pills to replenish his battle qi...

As time passed, Jiang Xing lost track of how long he had been in the fusion process.

The cyan and colorless flames that were originally in opposition within his body have now completely merged together, and the color of the flames has turned into an emerald green.

Seeing the new strange fire formed by the fusion of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame, Jiang Xing let out a long breath.

"Phew, it finally worked!"

Having successfully fused with the strange fire for the first time, Jiang Xing was filled with joy and happiness.

Perhaps because of his superior strength, the aftereffects that Xiao Yan experienced after fusing with the strange fire in the original story did not occur in Jiang Xing.

After absorbing the strange fire, Jiang Xing's cultivation level finally returned to the one-star Dou Zong level when he left, and the Burning Technique also broke through from the low-level Xuan rank to the high-level Xuan rank.

This prompted Jiang Xing to complain, "The Burning Technique is evolving a bit slowly!"

He absorbed two different flames before breaking through to the advanced Xuan rank.

He did consider absorbing beast fire to raise the level of the Burning Technique before absorbing the strange fire, but in the end he gave up.

Absorbing beast fire first can certainly increase the level of the Burning Technique, and Xiao Yan in the original novel did just that.

However, after absorbing the beast fire of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Xiao Yan never absorbed any other strange fire.

Is it because beast fire is relatively weak?

Obviously not. The beast fire of a Dou Zun-level magical beast is already comparable to or even surpasses the power of the lower-ranked strange fires.

Since Xiao Yan couldn't find any different kinds of fire later, why didn't he use a large amount of beast fire to upgrade the level of the Burning Flame Technique?

Jiang Xing was somewhat suspicious of the Devouring Beast Fire having any side effects, so he was hesitant to absorb it, fearing he might ruin himself.

Moreover, beast fire is not a different kind of fire. To amplify the power of the Burning Technique, a different kind of fire is ultimately needed.

However, Jiang Xing was wrong this time. In fact, cultivating the Burning Technique can also absorb beast fire, and there are no side effects.

Xiao Yan stopped absorbing beast fire to improve the level of the Burning Blade Technique in the later stages of his cultivation because absorbing beast fire could no longer evolve the technique. It was not because absorbing beast fire had any side effects.

"I wonder how long it took to fuse the different flames? And I wonder if the Queen has woken up yet?"

Before absorbing the strange fire, Jiang Xing entrusted the seven-colored snake to the snake-people elder and asked her to take care of it.

Jiang Xing stood up and left the training room.

After leaving his residence, Jiang Xing headed towards the residence of the Snake-People Clan's Grand Elder, wanting to see if the Queen had woken up while he was refining the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, before he even reached the destination, he saw Qinglin walking towards him.

Qinglin also saw Jiang Xing and ran over happily, saying, "Young Master, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Qinglin was still dressed in light green, but she had grown quite a bit taller, and her originally somewhat thin figure had become fuller and more mature.

Jiang Xing smiled and nodded at Qing Lin, and asked, "Qing Lin, how long have I been in seclusion?"

"Young Master, you've been in seclusion for a month."

Jiang Xing murmured, "Has it been a month already?"
