Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 523 Buddha's Wrath, Emperor Flame Lotus

"I'm afraid you're not qualified..." Xiao Yan smiled.

If this had happened during the Black Mountain Fortress era, encountering the Blood River of the Four Heavenly Venerables would have been incredibly troublesome, perhaps even a near-death experience.

But now, even just considering his apparent level, he is already extremely powerful. If they were to fight, killing this Fourth Heavenly Venerable Blood River would be an easy task for him.

Within the same realm, Xiao Yan has never truly feared anyone!

"How arrogant! You really think that a slight increase in strength gives you the right to be so cocky? Well, you're not going to leave here alive!"

The Four Heavenly Venerables snorted coldly, but did not make a move immediately; they were not the same kind of trash as before.

Xiao Yan's mysterious appearance earlier showed that this guy had some strength. If he made a hasty move and failed to kill him in one move, it would be a disgrace to him as one of the Four Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace.

"Blood Transformation Technique!"

The Four Heavenly Venerables let out a sinister roar, pushing their secret techniques to their limits and doubling the conversion of the energy they had previously absorbed from the terrifying blood.

His ninth brother, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable, had already devoured the collection of a branch of the Soul Palace and gained immense benefits.

He had just devoured these Lion Nether Sect members to gain some benefit for himself.

However, this secret technique is a double-edged sword. If he uses it as before, and after dealing with the immediate matter, he can cultivate it properly and his strength will undergo a qualitative leap.

However, his accelerated energy conversion will inevitably cause some damage to his body.

However, this unprecedented power filled my whole body, and the feeling was truly wonderful.

As their aura surged, the eyes of the Four Heavenly Venerables turned bloodshot, resembling man-eating demons.

His strength quickly rose from the peak of Dou Zun to the second or third level, which was a much greater improvement than that of Jiu Tian Zun.

"Roar—!" The eyes of the Four Heavenly Venerables were blood-red, as if burning with an inextinguishable rage. He stared intently at Xiao Yan, a sinister and terrifying smile curling at the corner of his mouth. A chilling growl burst from deep in his throat, like the voice of a demon from the depths of hell.

"Hiss—" As the deep and terrifying roar subsided, it was as if Pandora's box had been opened inside the Four Celestial Venerables.

Thick, almost solidified, crimson mist surged forth, rapidly intertwining and converging in the air, eventually transforming into heavy, oppressive blood clouds that blotted out the sky and the sun, spreading a foul stench and shrouding the entire space in an ominous atmosphere.

Little Fairy Doctor and the others looked up at the chilling blood cloud, their brows furrowed with worry and shock. They had never expected that this Fourth Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace would possess such terrifying strength, as if he could shake the heavens and earth and overturn the universe.

"Blood Demon Palm!" Upon seeing this, the Fourth Heavenly Venerable's lips curled into a cold smile. He suddenly opened his mouth, and an even more intense column of blood gushed out like a fountain, precisely merging into the churning blood cloud.

In an instant, the color of the blood cloud deepened, as if it had swallowed all the light, and inside it, winds and clouds surged, as if countless evil spirits were struggling and roaring.

Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, the blood cloud suddenly tore open, revealing a blood-red palm print nearly a thousand feet in size. Like a giant beast crawling out of the abyss of hell, it carried a world-destroying power and burst out from the depths of the blood cloud under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, heading straight for Xiao Yan.

The power contained in that blood-red palm print was terrifying. Even though it was still hanging thousands of feet in the air, its terrifying aura had already cast a huge shadow on the ground, and the outline of a super-huge palm print was clearly visible, making everyone in the entire Black Mountain Fortress feel as if the sky was about to collapse.

"It's over, kid!"

Hearing the Four Heavenly Venerables' confident laughter, Xiao Yan's eyes remained clear and unwavering as he raised his hand and waved it towards the sky: "Buddha's Wrath Emperor Flame Lotus!"

As the confident laughter of the Four Heavenly Venerables echoed, Xiao Yan's eyes remained deep and calm, like an ancient pool. He lightly raised his arm, pointing it directly to the sky, his voice, though soft, contained an undeniable power: "Buddha's Wrath Emperor Flame Lotus!"

With this brief yet authoritative command, an unprecedented surge of flames suddenly erupted in Xiao Yan's palm. Dozens of colorful flames seemed to be awakened by some mysterious power, intertwining and spinning wildly, instantly condensing into a strange fire lotus with extremely dazzling edges and a diameter of over a hundred feet.

The fire lotus slowly rotated in the void, its inner light dazzling, like the rising sun, dimming all the surrounding light and displaying a splendor and brilliance rarely seen in the world.

The petals of the fire lotus unfolded slowly and gracefully, each one containing a terrifying destructive power that sent chills down one's spine. Beneath its dazzling appearance lay a terrifying power capable of shaking the heavens and the earth.

It seemed to be the crystallization of the purest power in nature, or a sacred object left behind by the gods, silently floating there, yet already causing the space to tremble.

With a crisp whooshing sound, the fire lotus streaked through the air, leaving a dazzling fiery tail, like a meteor piercing the night sky, its trajectory both beautiful and decisive.

Facing the massive, blood-red hand that blotted out the sky and was filled with menacing power, the Fire Lotus showed no sign of retreat or fear. It transformed into an extremely dazzling flame, and with determination and fearlessness, it charged straight at the giant hand.

The moment the two came into contact, the fire lotus bloomed to its most perfect moment. Then, boundless flames erupted like hundreds of volcanoes erupting at the same time, and the magnificent flames filled the void.

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded, shaking the entire Black Mountain Fortress. A scorching shockwave swept through, and even from a great distance, those below felt as if their bodies were about to be incinerated.

"Blood Demon Kasaya!" Faced with Xiao Yan's terrifying fire lotus attack, powerful enough to incinerate mountains and boil seas, the Four Heavenly Venerables felt a sudden chill, and a look of shock flashed across their faces. However, as a powerful member of the Soul Palace, they naturally had extraordinary countermeasures.

The Four Heavenly Venerables trembled, as if some ancient bloodline within them had been awakened. Beneath their skin, their blood suddenly boiled, surging uncontrollably from every pore like a river bursting its banks.

The blood quickly congealed in the air, turning into fine blood lines that intertwined and eventually formed a thick and tough blood-red armor on his body, like an ancient Buddhist robe, yet filled with a demonic aura. This was his life-saving technique—the "Blood Demon Robe".

This blood shackle was not only deep in color, seemingly able to devour the surrounding light, but also exuded a chilling pressure, clearly containing the profound cultivation and strange bloodline power of the Four Heavenly Venerables.

Like a guardian deity, it tightly enveloped the Four Heavenly Venerables, preparing to meet the impending devastating blow.

hum!

The fiery lotus bloomed, and the destructive temperature relentlessly eroded the layer of blood scab. The terrifying temperature rapidly purified and refined the impurities in the energy of the Four Heavenly Venerables.

"Pfft!" Despite the Blood Demon Robe's full defense, the terrifying encirclement from the fire lotus was still incredibly sharp, piercing through the gaps in the defense, causing the Four Heavenly Venerables' faces to turn as pale as paper, and blood gushing out uncontrollably.

He used the momentum to turn sharply, and like a kite with a broken string, he quickly flew backward, attempting to escape this devastating battle.

"Trying to leave?!" A cold, ferocious glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He looked at the undisguised terror on the faces of the Four Heavenly Venerables, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as if he were enjoying the thrill of the hunt.

"No wonder so many powerful figures from the Soul Palace perished here..." The Four Heavenly Venerable felt a chill run down his spine. Only now did he truly understand the terror and eeriness of this place, and he felt endless regret for his rash decision to accept this mission.

However, it was too late for regrets. The fire lotus seemed to have come to life, and with the surge of Xiao Yan's will, it bloomed with an even more dazzling and terrifying light.

Firestorms raged across the sky, like the most magnificent yet deadliest celebration in the heavens, each wave of fire containing the power to incinerate everything.

They swept in like a tidal wave, turning the entire sky crimson. The terrifying heat instantly evaporated all the moisture in the surrounding area, making the air exceptionally dry and scorching.

Some spectators with weaker cultivation levels could even feel their blood boiling under the extreme heat, as if their very souls were about to be devoured by this power.

Countless eyes across the world were focused on this scene, witnessing the ultimate collision of power and will, and feeling the breathtaking shock and fear.

"Boom!" From the depths of the firestorm, a deafening roar suddenly exploded. Immediately afterwards, a figure tightly enveloped in raging flames plummeted from the sky like an out-of-control meteorite. The shrill scream tore through the air and pierced everyone's eardrums.

The figure in the flames was none other than the four Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace, who were once arrogant and domineering. Now, however, they seemed to be about to become victims of the flames, their appearance tragic, like roasted pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Boom!" Under the horrified gazes of many, the bodies of the Four Heavenly Venerables plunged into the sea of ​​blood in the deep ravine with the force of a thunderbolt.

At that moment, the terrifying high temperature met the sea of ​​blood, instantly triggering a violent chemical reaction. The sea of ​​blood seemed to be ignited, boiling violently with a bubbling sound.

It then evaporated at an astonishing speed. In just over ten seconds, the once surging sea of ​​blood vanished without a trace, leaving only emptiness and deathly silence.

At this moment, a sound of wind breaking suddenly arose in the sky, and Xiao Yan's figure appeared silently above the deep ravine like a ghost. His eyes were like torches, piercing through layers of flames, and he looked down indifferently.

There, the figures of the Four Heavenly Venerables were shrouded in the terrifying power of the Buddha's Wrath Emperor Flame Lotus. The energy within their bodies was greatly purified and refined under the baptism of flames, and the former power of the Heavenly Venerables had vanished.

"Become the energy that propels me forward!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with determination and anticipation. He clenched his fist tightly, and a power from the depths of his soul surged forth. In his palm, the magnificent Emperor Flame, like an awakened phoenix, soared into the air, piercing through the interwoven net of flames. It precisely devoured all the pure energy within the Four Heavenly Venerables' bodies, which had been tempered by the Buddha's Wrath Lotus. That enormous power was instantly absorbed into the vast and boundless space of the Endless Fire Domain.

Xiao Yan's control over the strange fire has reached a state of perfection. He can not only weave the world-destroying super Buddha's Fury Lotus at will, but also control its power with exquisite precision, moving between destruction and creation with ease, showing a breathtaking art of fire control.

Having once again absorbed the immense energy body gathered by the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace using a secret technique, Xiao Yan felt as if a new source of life had been injected into his body. His body trembled slightly, and his recently improved cultivation was once again on the verge of a breakthrough.

This power, like rivers flowing into the sea, was endless. After being extracted, purified, and refined by Di Yan, it eventually transformed into a trickle, flowing into his spiritual energy sea called "Waterless Ocean," propelling the barrier at the peak of the five-star Dou Zun to slowly loosen, and striding towards the threshold of the six-star Dou Zun.

At the same time, the energy of the five Dou Zun powerhouses that Queen Medusa had previously absorbed also quietly resonated with Xiao Yan's cultivation under the mysterious effect of the "Yuan Ling Zhen Jing".

Although this force did not directly affect Xiao Yan, it provided crucial assistance to his breakthrough path through the subtle connections between the cultivation techniques, as if all the creatures in the Endless Fire Domain were participating in this grand cultivation feast in some way.

The terrifying aspect of the "Yuanling True Scripture" lies in this—it makes Xiao Yan's cultivation no longer a solitary battle, but closely connected with the life force of the entire world, sharing each other's growth and transformation.

In this world woven from flames and will, Xiao Yan is launching an unprecedented assault on a higher realm.

"call……"

Xiao Yan let out a soft breath, his face filled with excitement as he broke through to become a six-star Dou Zun.

If it weren't for the Soul Palace organizing this operation and sending out the Lion Nether Sect and two Heavenly Venerable level experts in advance, it would have taken him quite some time to break through to the six-star Dou Zun level.

It must be said that the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan are truly a huge source of nourishment in the process of advancement.

Having absorbed only the tip of the iceberg, his strength had already increased dramatically. If he were to devour both, Xiao Yan believed he would advance to the peak level at an extremely fast pace.

After stretching his body, Xiao Yan had a clearer plan for his future cultivation: to devour the powerful members of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan, thus greatly reducing the time he needed to absorb and refine the energy of heaven and earth.

"This crisis can be considered resolved..."

Although the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan are powerful, they have too many locations under their command, and organizing another operation of this scale would not be something that can be done in a short period of time.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan flashed and turned to land on the fortress wall. This return allowed him to bring the relatives of the allied forces he had gathered into the Endless Fire Domain.

Upon his return, the entire fortress erupted in thunderous cheers.
