Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 271 Flame Clan's Fiery Splendor

In the following days, Xiao Jue helped Feng Qing'er, just as he was helping Zi Yan become stronger, raise her strength to the mid-stage of the two-star Dou Sheng by using the eight-grade pills of the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, such as the Thunder Tribulation Pill, the Nine-Turn Phoenix Spirit Pill, the Heavenly Soul Pill, and the Nine Yuan Treasure Pill.

Currently, apart from Phoenix, a four-star Dou Sheng, Feng Qing'er, a two-star Dou Sheng, is the strongest member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Xiao Jue left her some pills as a reward for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's experts, and then took Huo Zhi with him and left the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

The Beast Domain is now under Xiao Jue's control. There are still some powerful ninth-tier magical beasts hiding in the Beast Domain, but now that the three major magical beast families have joined forces, no one in the Beast Domain can rival them.

Upon arriving at Fire Emperor City, Xiao Jue took Huo Zhi's hand and stepped directly into the Flame Realm. He also used his soul power to contact the Fire Spirit Fairy.

Lei Dong of the Lei Clan came to greet Xiao Jue, got beaten up, called him "uncle," and then received the pills. The Yan Clan members, on the other hand, were not so straightforward.

A young man dressed in a white robe came to greet Xiao Jue. He was extremely handsome, with a slight smile on his lips, giving people a warm feeling.

"This must be Xiao Jue's brother-in-law, right? I am Huo Xuan, a former candidate for the young clan leader of the Yan Clan."

On Huo Xuan's forehead, a lifelike flame mark was slowly burning. He smiled politely and said, "Brother-in-law Xiao Jue, don't overthink it. If the Yan Clan could have a divine bloodline, I would be happy for it."

"Therefore, I discussed with the clan elders and decided to hand over the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame to Huo Zhi for refinement. The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame has already given birth to a fire spirit. Although its compatibility with Huo Zhi is not high, the Flame Clan's secret technique can still seal the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame within Huo Zhi's body."

"With the temptation of the ninth-grade Xuan Pill, the Fire Emperor's Divine Blood Pill, the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame agreed to be refined by Huo Zhi without hesitation. This strange flame, ranked sixth on the Strange Flame Ranking, can be considered a gift from me and the Flame Clan to you."

Huo Xuan was very humble and polite. From his words, Xiao Jue understood the Yan Clan's intention: to win over Xiao Jue, the number one alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, by handing over the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame to Huo Zhi.

It should be noted that even among the Medicine Clan, a ninth-grade Xuan Dan had not been seen for hundreds of years, yet Xiao Jue had refined the Fire Emperor Xuan Dan, a ninth-grade Xuan Dan whose spirituality was close to that of a ninth-grade Golden Dan.

They didn't know how skilled the alchemist was, but they had all witnessed how terrifying Xiao Jue's alchemy skills were, and they had already accepted the idea that the alchemist's skills were inferior to Xiao Jue's.

Since that's the case, then we might as well do everything we can to win over Xiao Jue. Huo Xuan doesn't really care about the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, okay, that's just a lie.

Huo Xuan certainly cared about the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, but this strange flame could only help him become stronger now, while Yan Jin made a promise to give him the Red Lotus Karmic Flame.

He might even give up the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, and Xiao Jue might refine some pills for him, which would be more helpful than the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame.

"The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame?" Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Then I thank Brother Huo Xuan. After Huo Zhi seals the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame within his body, I will help you refine a ninth-grade treasure pill, the Fire Emperor Divine Blood Pill."

"I wouldn't say I'll raise your Dou Di bloodline to the divine grade, but stabilizing it at the ninth grade is still a sure thing."

Huo Xuan said gratefully, "Thank you very much."

Entrusting the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame to Huo Zhi was originally a decision made by the family, which Huo Xuan could not change. However, the family's decision to send him to welcome Xiao Jue was also an opportunity for him to do Xiao Jue a favor.

Now, this favor has been exchanged for a Grade 9 precious pill. In the eyes of others, the value of a Grade 9 precious pill is far less than that of Xiao Jue's favor.

However, it should be noted that two Grade 9 precious pills were enough to make Phoenix, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, swear allegiance to Xiao Jue.

Given her lineage as a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Phoenix's status within the clan, her arrogance is understandable. Yet, she made that decision because of two Grade Nine Treasure Pills.

If someone told Phoenix that she would receive a Grade 9 Treasure Pill for killing a Dou Sheng, she would probably go out and kill two right away.

She didn't want two Grade 9 Treasure Pills; rather, she felt guilty taking one Grade 9 Treasure Pill for killing a one-star Dou Sheng.

A single Rank 9 Fire Emperor Divine Blood Pill can elevate Huo Xuan's Dou Di bloodline to at least Rank 9, or even close to Rank 1.

With a Dou Di bloodline of this level, Huo Xuan could at least raise his strength to an eight-star Dou Sheng in the future, provided he has enough time to grow.

When that time comes, if he follows in Xiao Jue's footsteps, will he still have trouble getting a Fire Emperor Mystic Pill to help him break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level?

Even though Xiao Jue was the same age as him, he could refine the Fire Emperor Profound Pill at the age of twenty. By the time Huo Xuan broke through to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng, he would probably be several hundred years old.

At that time, Xiao Jue was probably already the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent, and he would definitely be a ninth-grade Golden Core alchemist.

In this way, let alone a mere Fire Emperor Profound Pill, Huo Xuan might even have a chance to consume a Fire Emperor Golden Pill.

As for why Xiao Jue wanted to help Huo Xuan refine pills, Huo Xuan said something when he welcomed Xiao Jue: he was a former candidate for the young clan leader of the Yan Clan.

The latest novel is first published here!

The candidate now appears to have become Huo Zhi, but she is Xiao Jue's fiancée and will marry into the Xiao clan in the future. Therefore, the younger generation of the Yan clan will still be led by Huo Xuan in the future.

When the Yan Clan Chief becomes Xiao Jue's subordinate, it will be a piece of cake for Xiao Jue to refine a pill for him.

In Huo Xuan's view, they will have no enemies in the future.

The Soul Emperor of the Soul Clan is nothing but a skeleton in a tomb. Now that the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan are cooperating to support Xiao Jue, they will surely capture him sooner or later!

Gu Yuan of the ancient clan was fierce in appearance but cowardly in reality. He was good at scheming but indecisive. He cherished his life when it came to great things, but he was willing to risk his life for small gains. He was no hero. After destroying the Soul Emperor, he naturally could not cause too much trouble.

The Medicine Clan's elixir-wielding guards, like the clan leaders of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan—these insignificant villains, with their Seven-Star Battle Saint strength, are not worth mentioning.

In the current Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Jue is just waiting to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, at which point he will be invincible. With the protection of two Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Yan Jin and Lei Ying, who can threaten him?

Huo Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought to himself. Seeing Xiao Jue's strange look, he quickly coughed lightly and said seriously, "The clan leader is still breaking through, and Elder Huo Ling is already waiting. Let me take you there first."

"The Fire Emperor's Blood Pill that you refined for Huo Zhi has now been refined by the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame. Unlike the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame's fire spirit consciousness is weak, but extremely powerful."

"Although it only has the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng in its early stage, the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame does not need to seal the Fire Emperor Divine Blood Pill in its body, but directly refines it."
