Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle
Chapter 385 Old Man Mu Gu
By the evening of the seventh day, the flame had finally completed its transformation.
Lin Yao slowly opened his eyes. The Netherworld Poison Flame in his palm had swelled to the size of a fist, its color a deep dark purple. Inside the flame, an undercurrent seemed to surge, breathing as if it were alive, exhaling chilling poisonous gas. It floated quietly in Lin Yao's palm, no longer needing the power of stars to sustain it, and had already possessed the instinct to burn on its own.
Lin Yao probed the Netherworld Poison Flame with his spiritual power. The next moment, as if confirming something, it flashed with light and was slowly absorbed into Lin Yao's body.
Darkness, then light.
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, the Sea Core Flame, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame—four strange flames—formed a stable, cyclical energy field within his body. When the Netherworld Poison Flame joined, disrupting the original balance, the four flames simultaneously stirred restlessly, like a pride of lions encountering a strange intruder. However, in that instant, the Star Palace deep within Lin Yao's sea of consciousness suddenly glowed faintly, and an invisible yet supreme power surged forth like a tide, enveloping all five flames simultaneously.
That power was gentle and peaceful, yet it carried an undeniable majesty.
Under the mediation of the Star Palace, the agitation of the five strange flames gradually subsided. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was the first to fall silent, sinking back into the bottom of the dantian, firmly stabilizing its foundation. The Fallen Heart Flame traversed the meridians for a while, also finding its place, its blazing aura becoming peaceful. The Sea Heart Flame and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame tentatively touched each other, like two people shaking hands for the first time, before each step back. The newly joined Netherworld Poison Flame, like a newcomer, tentatively approached the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and after sensing that the cold aura emanating from the other was somewhat similar to its own, it cautiously settled down beside it.
Five different flames, five completely different attributes, five completely different primal powers, actually coexisted in one under the harmonization of the Star Palace.
The moment that balance was finally achieved, an unprecedented surge of heat coursed through Lin Yao's body. The energy of the five different flames surged simultaneously through his eight extraordinary meridians, merging into his battle qi, overlapping, catalyzing, and fusing with each other. That power burst forth like a raging river, cleansing every inch of his meridians and bones, pushing his battle qi cultivation to a new level.
High-level Dou Zun!
His internal fighting spirit surged like a torrent, and the radiance of the five strange flames faintly appeared around him, transforming into a barely perceptible five-colored halo. The sheer power of this force far surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Dou Zun experts. Even against a peak Dou Zun, Lin Yao was confident he could withstand a direct confrontation without being at a disadvantage. If all five strange flames were unleashed at their full power simultaneously, their terrifying might would be immeasurable.
The power increase far surpasses that of the top ten different flames. Even the ancient emperor Tuoshe in history probably couldn't have imagined that someone could simultaneously contain five different flames within their body and allow them to coexist peacefully. Ordinary people would exhaust their energy even controlling the conflict between two different flames, so Lin Yao's ability to do this is largely due to the transcendent power level of the Star Palace and its ancient and mysterious rules, which allow the different flames to each find their place and exert their strengths, rather than fighting each other and wasting each other's energy.
Lin Yao exhaled a long breath, feeling the smooth and unobstructed power within his body, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
From this day forward, he will wield five different flames and set foot in the Central Plains.
The next morning, before Lin Yao could fully recover from the joy of unifying the five fires, a violent energy fluctuation came from the backyard of the medicine garden. He instantly sprang up from the futon and appeared in the courtyard in a flash.
Above the tightly sealed stone chamber, an unusual cloud layer appeared in the sky. The cloud layer hung extremely low, grayish-purple in color, swirling with eerie vortexes, like a giant funnel suspended in mid-air. With each breath, the energy of heaven and earth was converging into the stone chamber at an unprecedented speed.
Countless visible streams of energy surged in from all directions—fire, water, wind, earth, and even darkness. They flowed into the stone chamber like rivers converging into the sea, casting a faint glow on its walls. At the center of these energy streams, a seated figure emanated an increasingly powerful aura.
Little Fairy Doctor is attempting to become a Dou Zun!
Lin Yao's gaze sharpened, but he didn't step forward to intervene. He could sense the state within Little Fairy Doctor's body—the reshaped source of her poisonous body was like a perfect vortex, frantically devouring, transforming, and purifying the incoming energy of heaven and earth, then injecting it into the core within her body. That core seemed insatiable, greedily absorbing everything, and with the injection of energy, Little Fairy Doctor's aura was steadily rising.
Suddenly, Lin Yao's gaze sharpened slightly.
He sensed a hidden injury within Little Fairy Doctor's body, deeply concealed, almost fused with her. This injury was located where her meridians and dantian met, like a hidden danger planted years ago, a tiny thorn stuck in her joint. Although it was usually unnoticed, it would ache subtly during intense battles, affecting her performance.
That must be a hidden injury she sustained when she used the Golden Lotus technique in the army back then.
Lin Yao barely hesitated; in a flash, he appeared before Little Fairy Doctor. Without disturbing her, he sat cross-legged opposite her, extending his palms to meet hers. A stream of stellar energy flowed from his palms into Little Fairy Doctor's body, traveling along her meridians until it quietly reached the location of her hidden injury.
At the same time, the five strange flames transformed into extremely subtle forces, surging forward along with the power of the stars. The five-colored flames intertwined, like the most delicate surgical scalpel, peeling away, repairing, and reshaping the old, hidden wound bit by bit. This process was extremely meticulous, allowing no room for error. Lin Yao, with his Heavenly Realm spiritual power fully activated, operated with unparalleled precision, like a top-tier physician.
Little Fairy Doctor's body trembled slightly, as if she had unconsciously sensed something. But the feeling was not painful; instead, it was like a warm spring, washing away a long-hidden ailment and giving her an unprecedented sense of comfort.
After an unknown amount of time, the hidden injury finally turned to dust and was completely removed.
In that instant, the poisonous essence within Little Fairy Doctor's body seemed to finally break free of its last shackles, bursting forth with dazzling light. That light shot out from her body, instantly filling the entire stone chamber—grayish-purple energy surged out like a tide, condensing into a giant cocoon around her.
A cocoon of energy! Lin Yao's heart stirred.
Strange patterns flowed across the surface of the giant purplish-gray cocoon, undulating slightly like a living thing, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. It was a protective layer automatically formed by the power of origin after the Calamity Poison Body was completely released, and also proof that Little Fairy Doctor was undergoing a deeper transformation.
Lin Yao withdrew his hands, stood beside the cocoon, and quietly gazed at the scene before him. He could see the slender figure inside the cocoon sleeping peacefully, cradling a pale purple light in its arms—the aura of the Netherworld Poison Fire. At the moment the Calamity Poison Body was completely released, it completed its final fusion with the essence of the poison body, transforming into a purest primordial power.
With this power, the moment Little Fairy Doctor broke through to the Dou Zun realm, she far surpassed ordinary Dou Zun. Moreover, she could use this energy cocoon as a furnace to continue nourishing everything within her body, further enhancing her strength.
Lin Yao's lips curved into a smile as he said softly, "Take good care of yourself. When you emerge from seclusion, you'll likely be a completely transformed Little Fairy Doctor."
He left the stone chamber and closed the stone door again. As he walked out of the medicine garden, he encountered Venerable Heavenly Fire. Venerable Heavenly Fire's soul form hovered in mid-air, looked Lin Yao up and down, and suddenly froze: "You... when did you break through? High-level Dou Zun?"
Lin Yao nodded.
"A prodigy, truly a prodigy." Venerable Heavenly Fire shook his head in amazement, but he had already grown accustomed to the little monster's rapid growth. "Where's Little Fairy Doctor?"
"She is undergoing a transformation. Her Calamity Poison Body has been completely unleashed and is currently gathering its primordial power. When she emerges from seclusion, she should be a Dou Zun."
Venerable Tianhuo was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "You young people... make this old man feel completely outdated. I cultivated my whole life and only reached the peak of Dou Zun. But you, one after another, are rising faster than a rocket."
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me. Your experience has been of great help to me. If it weren't for your cultivation system, I wouldn't have been able to understand the way of balancing the five fires so quickly."
Venerable Heavenly Fire waved his hand, about to say something, when suddenly his soul body fluctuated violently, and his gaze instantly sharpened: "There's killing intent!"
Almost at the same instant he finished speaking, a chilling aura silently appeared behind Lin Yao.
The aura arrived abruptly, like a ghost emerging from the void, its target Lin Yao's back. The newcomer was extremely cunning, striking with a deadly move without any probing. A sharp claw enveloped in dense black energy, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aimed straight for Lin Yao's vitals.
Lin Yao did not turn around.
He simply raised his right hand slightly, his fingers twitching slightly. A ghostly green flame suddenly shot out from his fingertips—the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame! The flame transformed into a shield of light behind Lin Yao, precisely blocking the claws. With a soft "hiss," the claws struck the fire shield, as if striking a scorching hot iron felt, emitting a tooth-grinding, acrid smell.
The attacker's pupils constricted, and he retreated hastily. But Lin Yao gave him no chance to escape. He made a backhand move, and the Sea Heart Flame spread out from the void like a blue chain, instantly wrapping around the attacker's ankle and pulling him back.
Only then did Lin Yao slowly turn around, calmly sizing up the newcomer.
The newcomer was around sixty years old, thin, with disheveled gray hair and a rather sinister face. One of his hands was smoking, clearly burned by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. But a cold glint flashed in his triangular eyes as he stared fearlessly at Lin Yao, saying each word clearly, "You do have some skills. No wonder the master specifically asked me to deal with you."
"My lord?" Lin Yao asked calmly, "Did the Soul Palace send you?"
"You are not worthy to know." The man coldly snorted, and a surge of powerful battle qi suddenly erupted. A three-star Dou Zun! This aura was considered powerful even in the Central Continent, and in the Northwest Continent, it was enough to sweep away everything. He looked down at Lin Yao, his voice carrying the arrogance and disdain of a major power in the Central Continent, "Lin Yao, I am Elder Mu Gu of the Soul Palace. Today, I am ordered by my master to take your life. If you know what's good for you, obediently hand over the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and I might spare your corpse."
Lin Yao looked at him with calm and unwavering eyes, as if watching a moth fly towards a candle flame.
"Elder Mu Gu..." He murmured the name, then shook his head slightly. "A three-star Dou Zun might be considered someone of importance in Zhongzhou, but in the Soul Hall, you're hardly a core member or high-ranking official, are you? Why is the Soul Hall sending people so casually these days?"
The old man's eye twitched slightly: "Young man, your verbal sparring will only hasten your death!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved swiftly, wielding a jet-black ghost-head blade, which slashed down at Lin Yao with dense black energy! This strike concentrated the full power of his three-star Dou Zun; even before the blade's energy arrived, a deep trench had already split open in the ground. The blade's light cascaded down like a waterfall, carrying the power to cleave mountains, threatening to split Lin Yao and the herb garden behind him in two.
Lin Yao raised his head and looked at the overwhelming blade of light, without even using his strange fire.
He simply held up one finger.
A seemingly ordinary finger. A warm, starlight-like light gathered at the fingertip, effortlessly meeting the blade's edge, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks. The instant finger and blade touched, Elder Mu Gu's pupils constricted—he felt as if his strike had struck nothing but emptiness, yielding no force, breaking through defenses, all his power sinking like a stone into the sea, without even a ripple.
Then, a terrifying power he had never felt before came from that finger.
Like a mountain pressing down, like the sky collapsing, like stars falling to earth. That power was vast and boundless, utterly impossible to resist. Old Man Mu Gu felt a sharp pain in his arm, the Ghost Head Blade flew out of his hand, and he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through the courtyard wall and rolling more than ten feet before finally coming to a stop.
He struggled to get up, but his body seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force, unable to move. He finally raised his head, looking at the young man who was still standing there, not even a wrinkle on his clothes: "How could this be... You're clearly a late-stage Dou Zun... How is this possible..."
"A three-star Dou Zun dares to cause trouble at Canaan Academy? Do you really think your cultivation level is enough in Zhongzhou?" Lin Yao withdrew his finger, walked over, and looked down at the disheveled Mu Gu Elder. "Besides, you haven't even figured out my background, yet you dare to rush over to your death. Your courage..." He paused, "is far greater than your strength."
