Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 74 Devouring Strange Flames, Dou Zong Soul Cang

In reality, Hun Cang did not have a strong desire for the lower-ranked Strange Flames.

Simply put, this level of strange fire doesn't provide a strong boost to oneself.

But since it didn't require any effort and could be obtained for free, Hun Cang was actually quite pleased with himself.

After all, even a small mosquito is still meat.

After accepting the two clusters of strange flames, Hun Cang asked, "During my absence, did anything significant happen?"

Hun Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said, "Not long ago, Protector Wu came by. He seemed to have something to ask you, but you weren't there at the time, so he left. There was nothing else. Also, the main hall has urged us to continue the mission of finding the remnants of the Dou Di's bloodline."

"It has been ten thousand years since the last Dou Di appeared on the Dou Qi Continent. Apart from our seven ancient clans, it is not easy to find any remaining bloodlines," Hun Cang said, feigning indifference.

The clan's so-called mission was nothing more than to find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade belonging to the Xiao family.

He had always known about this, but deliberately kept it to himself, in order to accumulate strength and buy time.

Hun Xiaoqiang, unaware of Hun Cang's thoughts, nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Palace Master is right. However, if the higher-ups question us, it will be difficult to explain without an answer."

Hun Cang pondered for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I have a way."

Upon hearing this, Hun Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief chat about other trivial matters, Hun Cang stood up and explained that he was going into seclusion. He told Protector Wu to wake him up if he came again, and not to disturb him unless there was something else to discuss.

Hun Xiaoqiang quickly agreed.

Afterwards, Hun Cang returned to his room and took out the three different kinds of strange fire.

"Let's see if I can break through to the Dou Zong level!" After gazing for a moment, Hun Cang opened his mouth and inhaled the three clusters of strange fire directly.

He raised his hand and took out the black jade lotus platform, then sat cross-legged on it, his hands quickly forming a hand seal at his lower abdomen.

boom!

A tremendous power erupted from Hun Cang's body. After the seal was broken, the Fallen Heart Flame, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, and the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire unleashed their violent power wildly.

Three colors of flames surged from Hun Cang's body.

The Fallen Heart Flame is formless and invisible, yet its location can be vaguely discerned through the distorted air.

Yin and Yang flames coiled around the soul from both sides, the two colors of flames emitting completely opposite temperatures.

In the blink of an eye, Hun Cang's body surface turned into two extremes: one half of his body was bright red, while the other half was covered with white frost, showing signs of freezing.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire did not stop either, transforming into a huge and ferocious demonic beast, letting out a silent roar at Hun Cang, and opening its blood-red maw to bite at Hun Cang.

On the lotus platform, Hun Cang faced all of this with utmost calmness. A mark appeared between his hands, which then spread out as his hands separated.

At that moment, Hun Cang uttered a single word: "Suppress!"

The next second, the three clusters of flames froze in mid-air, unable to move, and the terrifying temperature around them quickly receded back into the flames.

A flame emerged from Hun Cang's head, and as it swayed, it slowly transformed into his likeness, his mouth opening into a slit.

boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force erupted, and the demonic beast formed from the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire twisted and spun, condensing into a thin line that fell into Hun Cang's mouth.

"Burp..." Hun Cang, the three-colored little man, let out a burp and exhaled a puff of hot air.

Originally, he only had three colors on his body, but now a new color has emerged.

Following the same pattern, he successively devoured the Yin-Yang Twin Flames and the Fallen Heart Flame.

The flames then retreated back into Hun Cang's body, and his aura continued to rise.

Five stars, six stars, seven stars... Dou Zong.

Just like eating and drinking, Hun Cang directly broke through the limitations of the Dou Huang realm and entered the Dou Zong realm.

His level of attainment has not stopped; it continues to rise.

But at this moment, Hun Cang frowned slightly, and then his aura slowly declined, and his strength also dropped, eventually remaining at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang.

Outside the house, the battle energy within a thousand miles was instantly drained and surged towards the house where Hun Cang was located.

A vortex of condensed battle qi suddenly appeared.

The immense and vast power surged continuously towards Hun Cang, where it was then refined and purified by the strange fire, transforming into the most refined power.

A figure soared into the sky.

It was none other than Hun Xiaoqiang.

At this moment, his face was filled with horror: "The Palace Master's strength is even more terrifying than it was a year ago..."

He thought about it and realized that if Hun Cang had taken over the Soul Palace a year ago with this strength, even if he was just a Dou Huang, even without considering Hun Cang's identity, he would not have dared to underestimate him in the slightest.

At this moment, Hun Xiaoqiang was completely determined to follow Hun Cang and decided to obey Hun Cang's orders without question from now on.

After watching for a while, Hun Xiaoqiang realized that the commotion was unlikely to end anytime soon, so he dispersed the onlookers to avoid disturbing the Palace Master's cultivation.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Time flies.

After an unknown amount of time, Hun Cang's body changed again. His physique became more pure and transparent, and even his soul became more resilient.

The fighting spirit within him was also thicker and heavier than before, with each drop being comparable to the hundred drops he had condensed when cultivating the Soul Clan's techniques.

During this period, Hun Cang's strength once reached the highest level of Seven Star Dou Zong, and then he was repeatedly forged and refined by the Strange Fire, and his strength once fell back to the lowest level of Nine Star Dou Wang.

This rollercoaster-like fluctuation did not worry Hun Cang; on the contrary, he was very excited.

He could clearly feel the changes within himself, both inside and out.

On this day, Hun Cang stabilized his strength to the level of a two-star Dou Zong and slowly opened his eyes.

A dazzling light flashed and disappeared in his eyes.

"The Suppressing Flame Technique, the Suppressing Flame Technique... I always thought this technique was just for suppressing flames, but I never imagined that the true meaning of 'suppressing' was actually suppressing the heavens and the earth." Through these days of cultivation, Hun Cang has gained a deep understanding of the technique rewarded by the system.

He had great confidence in breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

Becoming a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) is no longer a distant prospect for him; it's just a matter of time.

"If an incomplete cultivation technique can achieve this level, what if it were a different kind of fire..." Hun Cang felt his mouth was dry, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

After a few simple movements, Hun Cang felt a crackling sound like popping beans coming from his body: "I feel like I've been reborn. I wonder how long it took me this time."

Suddenly, Hun Cang froze, then snapped his fingers and took out a jade slip.

He left a piece for Xiao Yan to use as a means of communication, but Xiao Yan never used it.

"Why did you suddenly decide to message me today?" Hun Cang wondered, attaching his consciousness to the message.

[Brother, I'm going to the Yunlan Sect tomorrow to fulfill my three-year promise. Would you be free to come and visit?]

A message appeared in Hun Cang's mind. He blinked and sighed, "Time flies... This is the most important day in the Dou Qi Continent. After all, without my intervention, the next Yan Emperor would have been forced out by the Yunlan Sect many years later."

Hun Cang smiled, then shook his head, remembering that he was the one who helped Xiao Yan propose the three-year agreement.

Then he replied with a single word:

"it is good."
