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

Chapter 527 Preparing a Mummified Corpse

After assigning Liu Ling her task, Xiao Yan got busy with his own things—upgrading his flying combat skills!

Generally speaking, the greatest value of flight combat skills lies in the early stages of the game.

The most powerful effect of flight combat techniques is that they grant the ability to fly before advancing to the Dou Wang realm. Secondly, the overlapping of wings in flight combat techniques can combine with wings formed from Dou Qi to unleash a speed no weaker than that of a Dou Zong powerhouse.

Such a peculiar fighting technique is practically insignificant to a powerhouse at the Dou Zun level.

However, one of the most important reasons is that the flight combat skill level is not high.

The fighting skills in the Dou Qi Continent are divided into four levels: Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven.

The appearance of Xuan-level flying combat skills is already extremely rare, and Di-level flying combat skills have only appeared once in the surrounding empires and the Black Corner Region, which is enough to demonstrate their rarity.

Even flight-type combat techniques at the Earthly Rank are no longer suitable for the powerful strength of a Dou Zun. If one's strength increases further, the gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng will be as vast as an insurmountable chasm, and the effect of ordinary flight-type combat techniques will be even more negligible.

However, if he could upgrade his flying combat skill to the Heavenly Rank or even higher, Xiao Yan believed that it would still be a very useful combat skill.

He flicked the best storage ring that had been offered as tribute, and a dried-up corpse of a magical beast immediately appeared not far from Xiao Yan.

The mummy beast was over ten feet wide, but it had been dead for a long time, and its flesh and bones were all dried out. The most eye-catching thing about this thing was its pair of huge wings that had turned into white bones.

These giant wings are quite peculiar, resembling jade, emitting a faint fluorescent glow. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell that these wings actually contain some kind of strange energy.

This dried corpse of a magical beast was found in the Black Emperor Sect's treasury—the dried corpse of a seventh-tier magical beast, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix!

Although he had always known about this thing, Xiao Yan still saw it in person.

With light steps, Xiao Yan stopped at the pair of jade bone wings that were about two or three zhang wide, then squatted down and gently stroked the bone wings with his palm.

The surface was icy cold to the touch, yet within that coldness lay a trace of warmth. It was hard to imagine that this mummy, which had been dead for who knows how many years, could still radiate heat.

These jade-like bone wings are slightly transparent, making it easy to see the unusual energy moving around within them.

After learning about the characteristics of the bone wings, Xiao Yan flicked his finger and shot out a wisp of Emperor Flame, which began to burn the remaining chunks of flesh from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's dried corpse.

Enveloped in the terrifying temperature of the Emperor's Flame, waves of intense heat penetrated into the flesh.

The horrifyingly white chunks of flesh didn't even make a hissing sound before bluish-red blood surfaced under the scorching heat of the Emperor's Flame.

Upon seeing the bluish-red blood, Xiao Yan, already prepared, took out a high-quality jade bottle from his Bone Flame Ring and collected the blood.

After burning all the pieces of flesh from the dried corpse until they were completely clean, Xiao Yan obtained five drops of bluish-red blood.

Looking at the five drops of bluish-red blood in the jade bottle, which were together but could not mix, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in amazement.

After all, this stuff comes from a magical beast, and it even dares to act independently. It truly lives up to its reputation as the blood of a top-tier magical beast.

After the flesh and blood were refined, the withered skin of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was not affected in any way under Xiao Yan's powerful fire control ability.

A drop of blood was ejected from the jade bottle and landed on the withered skin.

The moment the bluish-red blood touched the withered skin, it quickly merged into it. Immediately, the grayish-white withered skin began to writhe like a snake, as if it had been violently stimulated, and a bluish-red color rapidly spread out from where the blood had entered.

The bluish-red color spread extremely quickly. In just a few blinks, the withered skin was completely transformed. The grayish-white color was replaced by a strange bluish-red color, which was completely different from before. Moreover, as the bluish-red color spread, the withered skin, which had been completely still, gradually began to emit astonishing energy fluctuations.

Looking at the drastically changed withered skin, Xiao Yan immediately released another wisp of Emperor Flame to temper the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Skin.

Don't be fooled by its skin; it contains the energy of the Heavenly Phoenix Demon Core.

Under the intense heat of the Emperor's Flame, the blue-red beast hide released wisps of special energy mist, like special blue-red clouds, releasing energy fluctuations that even a Dou Huang would feel pressured by.

As the imperial flame continued to burn, the cyan-red mist grew thicker and thicker, and faintly, a strange, deep roar could be heard.

When the last wisp of energy was refined, the withered hide of the magical beast had completely turned to ashes.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared within the cyan-red mist, engulfing the cyan-red clouds. The entire energy cloud began to shrink slowly at a visible rate.

Not long after, as the blue and red clouds disappeared, a blinding blue and red light suddenly appeared in the vortex.

Amidst the intense light, a slightly irregularly shaped crystal, tinged with blue and red, floated suspended in mid-air without any support.

As it slowly rotated, tiny blue and red rays of light emanated from it, and these mere rays of leaked energy caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"The demon core of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix has also emerged." Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his eyes bursting with astonishing fervor.

Although it's just material from a seventh-tier magical beast, with the Burning Technique as the starting point, he doesn't believe its value is limited to the seventh tier.

Looking at the bone wings, blood, and demonic core separated from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's corpse, Xiao Yan composed himself and swallowed the remaining four drops of blood in one gulp.

The essence blood refined from the corpse of the Heavenly Phoenix, though only four drops, has the effect of increasing strength just by smelling it.

However, Xiao Yan wasn't doing this to increase his own power.

After swallowing the blood, Xiao Yan threw the bone wings and the demonic beast behind him. With a thought, two pairs of dazzling fire wings appeared, instantly enveloping the bone wings and the demonic core, releasing a terrifying temperature.

To further evolve the flying combat technique using these magical beast materials, it is necessary to refine the residual magical beast aura within the materials.

Even a Dou Zong expert would have a headache refining a material of the seventh-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix level.

However, Xiao Yan possesses the Super Fallen Heart Flame, a soul-slaying weapon, which is his forte for removing the residual aura of magical beasts.

Under the burning of the Super Fallen Heart Flame, the bone wings quickly reacted, with wisps of gray air, almost tangible, rapidly seeping out.
