The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Time flew by, and the next morning, under the bright and gentle morning sunlight, Ling Ningdie, with deep reluctance, held the wailing little Xiao Erlang in her arms, and waved goodbye to Xiao Xuanyuan's back as he climbed the light staircase step by step to the third floor. Until he disappeared into the last step, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but turn back for one last look, "Farewell for now, Ningdie, I will come back to find you sooner or later!"

As he took the final step, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure completely disappeared from the sunlit staircase in mid-air. At the very last moment before reaching the third level, he turned his head and saw Ling Ningdie, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes. "Husband, Ningdie will wait for you to come back and take me away! I promise..."

Shaking his head sharply to shake off the sadness and sorrow, Xiao Xuanyuan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and came back to his senses from the sadness of parting.

"Is this the third floor?"

Looking at the desolate and barren landscape above and below, where everything was withered, Xiao Xuanyuan was startled. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Where exactly is this place? And what kind of test is this?"

Walking from the first floor to the second floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion, the tests are on alchemy and herb cultivation, which correspond to two aspects of an alchemist. The old alchemist once said that if an alchemist can concentrate on cultivating spiritual herbs, it will greatly help their alchemy experience and pill success rate. However, Xiao Xuanyuan has never had the time. Now, everything is fine, as he has already practiced everything in the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

Now that we've reached the third level, what aspect of the alchemist will this test?

Looking around, the world was a sea of ​​red, nothing but red, with only variations in shades of light red, deep red, pale red, and deep red.

Xiao Xuanyuan was standing at the foot of a valley, next to a towering mountain peak. The peak was extremely high, with jagged rocks, and the sand and stones, in addition to being red, also had a mineral-like dark brown color.

From the moment he entered the third level, Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful soul perception spread outwards. In addition to the scorching heat, the air was also filled with an extremely strong fire-attribute energy aura. This fire energy aura made Xiao Xuanyuan, who was cultivating the Burning Technique, feel extremely comfortable all over.

"Could it be flames?! The alchemist's alchemy fire?!"

In an instant, a fleeting thought flashed through Xiao Xuanyuan's mind...

Chapter 452 The Mysterious Volcanic Eruption

The Divine Medicine Pavilion, third floor.

The air here was thick with heat. Although there was no distorted visual illusion like when he was in the Tagor Desert, Xiao Xuanyuan could still sense with his soul that the air and the sky were filled with the unique fire-attribute spiritual energy. Taking a breath of this air filled him with a burning, restless feeling.

The scenery here lacks the pristine beauty of the vast grasslands of the second level, the abundant aroma of medicinal herbs, and the invigorating and comforting spiritual energy of plants. Instead, it presents only a desolate landscape, as if scorched by flames, with red and black hues filling the space.

The mountains and rivers were black, the earth was red, and everything in sight was like this. There were only one, one, one bare, black and brown unknown plants. When the soul's perception probed upwards, it pierced the surface of the plants, and a strong fire elemental energy rushed out, and a few drops of black and red plant blood flowed out.

Seemingly sensing the extremely dense fire spiritual energy around her, Hei Sha involuntarily floated out of her spiritual energy storage and appeared in front of Xiao Xuanyuan. With a happy expression, she said, "Brother Xuanyuan, the fire spiritual energy here is so dense! Hei Sha feels so comfortable all over."

Nodding, Xiao Xuanyuan said, "Yes, this is the third level. I wonder what kind of test awaits us this time." Not to mention that the black veil was originally a unique and precious flame born from the heavens and earth of the Dou Qi Continent, a treasure among treasures, a rare species of heaven and earth, its affinity for fire spiritual energy was unparalleled. Her reaction was perfectly normal.

Xiao Xuanyuan's "Burning Technique" feeds on strange fire and is an extremely powerful fire-attribute technique. Needless to say, it is also very compatible with fire spiritual energy. Therefore, this environment is a unique and extremely rare cultivation place for Xiao Xuanyuan and his companion. If they can meditate and cultivate here, it will be twice as effective as cultivating on the ground.

Just as this thought flashed through Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, the ground beneath him shook violently, almost causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Rumble! Rumble!

With a tremor of the earth beneath their feet, a series of thunderous roars erupted from underground, echoing throughout the surrounding area.

Rumble! Rumble! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

A huge crack appeared in the ground beneath his feet. In a panic, Xiao Xuanyuan darted forward to avoid falling into the crack. With a rumble, the crack continued to tear open, growing larger and larger, and spreading into the distance.

Boom boom boom!

Just as he dodged, another crack appeared beneath his feet. He called out to the black veil, and purple cloud wings unfurled from his back. Xiao Xuanyuan leaped into the air, dodging the boulders and debris that continued to crumble from the crack, and crashed into...

“Brother Xuanyuan, look.”

A delicate hand emerged from the black veil, its slender, fair fingers pointing towards the cracks below.

"magma?!"

Xiao Xuanyuan also noticed the fiery red magma that was constantly churning and bubbling with fire waves under the cracks. The magma was extremely hot. When the rocks that had collapsed from the surrounding earth hit the fiery magma, they were instantly turned to ashes by the high temperature without even making a splash. They then fell into the scalding magma and became part of it.

After flying into the sky, looking down from above, all the surrounding scenery was taken into view. Previously, Xiao Xuanyuan was on the top of a high mountain, surrounded by hills and mountains. However, the scenery was still the same monotonous black and red color.

The first level tests alchemy, the second level tests herb cultivation, and judging from the situation, the third level tests fire cultivation? The three essential elements for an alchemist are: first, the ability to refine medicine; second, an understanding of medicinal herbs; and third, which is also the most important step towards becoming a high-level alchemist, possessing one's own top-grade flame. This is because it not only increases the success rate of alchemy but is also an essential skill for any alchemist.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was deep in thought, suddenly, with a loud bang and a deafening roar, the scalding red magma from the countless cracks surged toward the central opening at the top of the mountain, erupting from the crater with a deafening roar.

Boom! Bang!

The enormous, fiery red magma wave reached thousands of feet high, encompassing the entire sky, blooming and spreading like a romantic firework soaring into the heavens, enveloping the surrounding sky and land.

Scorching hot magma erupted and spewed forth. Feeling the terrifying heat, Xiao Xuanyuan hurriedly released his own battle qi shield and quickly spread his purple cloud wings, gliding out of the sky shrouded in scorching heat.

Humans can drink water and expel water, but being impacted by seawater will still cause them harm. Even if Xiao Xuanyuan cultivates the Burning Technique and possesses a different kind of fire, he will still be affected in this situation.

The Purple Cloud Wings moved with incredible speed. In just two breaths, Xiao Xuanyuan had already escaped more than ten miles away from the space that was shrouded in scorching red lava.

According to Xiao Xuanyuan's estimation, the energy released by this volcanic eruption was probably not much different from the powerful energy released by a high-level Dou Huang. Even so, this was a diffuse release, not a concentrated one. If it were concentrated on a person, a nine-star Dou Wang would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving not even a trace of bone.

"Brother Xuanyuan, what are you afraid of? Hei Sha really likes this kind of fire spirit energy."

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was considering what to do next, the little girl with the black veil beside him became extremely excited. She transformed into a black energy flame and rushed into the area covered by the magma, absorbing the extremely abundant fire spiritual energy.

Different flames are inherently unique. For them, the fire elemental energy that originates from the same source and has no owner is undoubtedly a great tonic from heaven and earth, and they can never get enough of it no matter how much they absorb.

"This little girl..."

Xiao Xuanyuan withdrew his outstretched hand, shook his head slightly, smiled in bewilderment, and let her go.

Boom! Bang!

But before Xiao Xuanyuan's smile could fully dissipate, another earth-shattering roar erupted. In the vast expanse of the sky above them, another earth-shattering boom resounded as a torrent of fiery red, scalding magma, nearly thirty feet long, surged forth and flew straight toward where Xiao Xuanyuan was.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Before he could think any further, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure flashed and appeared several miles away in an instant. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in an even more distant place.

The raging, scalding magma relentlessly pounded against Xiao Xuanyuan's Dou Qi defensive shield, causing it to shake and flicker constantly, like a fierce attack from high-level Dou Wang experts, consuming his Dou Qi energy.

Chapter 453 Magma Ocean

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief after being moved out of the area covered by the second volcanic eruption, a loud rumbling sound of cracking came from the ground beneath his feet.

Before Xiao Xuanyuan could even look up, a torrent of scalding magma, soaring straight into the heavens, erupted with a deafening explosion, crashing headlong into the defensive aura shield like a primordial torrent.

Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Caught off guard by the sudden onslaught of scalding lava from the volcanic torrent, Xiao Xuanyuan barely managed to shift half a meter to the side before being struck. His defensive aura shattered violently under the impact, and the powerful blow, reminiscent of a peak nine-star Dou Wang expert, slammed into him.

With the shattering of his battle qi defensive shield, Xiao Xuanyuan only had time to redirect his fire battle qi to protect his internal organs before being violently thrown out like a tattered sack.

In mid-air, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which evaporated into nothingness in the high temperature of the air.

This attack inflicted serious injuries on Xiao Xuanyuan. If it weren't for his strong physique, incredibly deep foundation, and the protection of several different flames within his body, he would probably be critically injured and on the verge of death by now.

Having just been struck and thrown by the volcanic lava, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't hesitate. Using the momentum, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings and sped away into the distance.

Meanwhile, the black veil surrounding the first volcano in the distance seemed to sense the danger to its master. It involuntarily turned its head to look in the direction of Xiao Xuanyuan, and saw the scene of Xiao Xuanyuan being seriously injured and flying out. It cried out in panic, "Brother Xuanyuan," and hurriedly turned its head to fly back in the direction of Xiao Xuanyuan.

In an instant, it transformed into a strange black flame, burning fiercely in the void, radiating a power that could incinerate everything in heaven and earth, even scorching the air with a hissing sound. Like lightning, it flashed by quickly, creating bursts of violent roars in the air.

Forcibly suppressing the injuries within his body, Xiao Xuanyuan hurriedly took out a bottle of healing pills from his storage ring, swallowed one, and then cautiously examined the ground beneath his feet. His recent experience told him that he seemed to be targeted.

Boom!

Another deafening roar exploded in their ears. A colossal pillar of magma erupted from a crack in the ground, transforming into a scorching red dragon of fire that hurtled towards Xiao Xuanyuan's location. Its immense power seemed even more profound than the full-force attack of a peak nine-star Dou Wang expert, reaching a strength nearly indistinguishable from that of a Dou Huang level expert.

Having taken precautions in advance, Xiao Xuanyuan remained calm. He condensed two balls of light in his hands, which merged into a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, and slammed it into the incoming lava fire dragon.

Bang! Rumble!

When the magma dragon and the Yin-Yang symbol met, a fierce energy conflict erupted between them, mutually neutralizing each other's power. Like a flashbang, a powerful energy vortex was formed, and the aftershocks swept in all directions. More than ten tornadoes rose out of thin air, stirring up flying sand and stones.

With Xiao Xuanyuan's current strength at the Seven-Star Dou Ling level, he could even fight against a Nine-Star Dou Wang level expert. He was even confident in fighting Ling Ningdie, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and was suppressed at the same level. Let alone this mere magma fire dragon in front of him.

The magma fire dragon confronted the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram for less than a second before its power and momentum were completely extinguished. As Xiao Xuanyuan increased the amount of fire fighting energy he poured into it, the power of the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram increased dramatically, suddenly doubling in size. It then crushed the dragon, pulverizing it and continuing to relentlessly crush the earth.

Boom!

At that moment, the earth shattered, and countless cracked pieces of earth turned into rubble and debris, burying all the deep cracks around it.

"Trying to ambush me? No way!"

Xiao Xuanyuan snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a chill.

At this moment, the eerie black Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, transformed from the black veil, also tore through the void and returned to his side. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the form of a young girl, flew to Xiao Xuanyuan's side, and looked anxious. She touched Xiao Xuanyuan's body with concern and asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, are you hurt? It's all Black Veil's fault. Black Veil shouldn't have left your side on her own initiative and couldn't protect you..."

Raising his hand to stop the sobbing in the black veil, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, his gaze sweeping around with suspicion and a hint of gravity. He said uncertainly, "Let's not talk about that now. It seems we're being watched, or rather, it seems we're being watched by the guardian of this third level!"

"Guardians?"

Even the slow-witted Hei Sha finally realized that from the volcanic eruption to her departure and the attack on Xuan Yuan, it seemed that the person in the shadows had been targeting Xuan Yuan all along.

"Brother Xuanyuan, what should we do?"

Black Veil cautiously surveyed her surroundings, wary of the person lurking in the shadows attacking Brother Xuanyuan again. She was determined to protect him should that person make another move.

Seeing the veiled guard, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded. "We're already on the third level. If it really is the guardian of this level, no matter where we escape to, we'll be attacked by lava eruptions. Rather than that, it's better to take it one step at a time and stay where we are. That way, we can also defend against the enemy."

"Hmph, as long as their strength does not exceed ours, they are nothing to fear."

These last words were secretly spoken by Xiao Xuanyuan. He was confident that the magma fire dragon attack, which was as strong as a nine-star peak Dou Wang level expert, could not make things difficult for him. Moreover, this layer of heaven and earth was filled with fire spiritual energy, which was of great benefit to his "Burning Technique" and could quickly restore his own fire Dou Qi.

Sure enough, before Xiao Xuanyuan finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet continued to rumble and shake. Countless pieces of land that had just been covered by cracks shattered and broke open again, revealing a surging, fiery red ocean of magma beneath the ground.

"coming!"

Xiao Xuanyuan's expression was solemn as he unleashed his full soul perception, remaining vigilant against attacks from all directions.

"Black Veil, if you can't defend against those magma fire dragons later, you should enter the Spirit Storage."

Xiao Xuanyuan didn't forget to issue a warning.

"Ah."

As the earth was completely exposed as a vast ocean of magma, an extremely hot current of air swept upwards from below, causing Xiao Xuanyuan's entire skin to feel the intense heat. If it weren't for the fact that he was cultivating the fire-attribute technique "Burning Technique" and had the supreme energy of the strange fire within his body, he was certain that if it were a cultivator of another attribute here, the terrifying heat alone would have completely worn away their fighting spirit, leaving them to be roasted to death.

As a cultivator of fire-attribute techniques, he naturally possesses a strong ability to adapt to the high temperatures of flames. Such high temperatures might be able to cook an egg or melt a piece of steel in an instant, but under the protection of the powerful "Burning Technique" and the fire battle qi within his body, it only made Xiao Xuanyuan's face slightly flushed from the heat.

Chapter 454 The Powerful One Hidden in the Dark

Lava continuously erupted from beneath the earth, and the scorching heat had already permeated the entire third level of space. The air was filled with extreme heat and scorching temperatures. If an ordinary person were to breathe in this air, their lungs would be instantly burned and ruptured. If one were to be in this air, they would be instantly roasted alive.

This is extreme heat!

At this point, Xiao Xuanyuan dared not be careless. He completely switched from external breathing to internal breathing, and the "Burning Technique" was rapidly circulating in his meridians. In addition to constantly resisting and dodging the scorching lava and fiery red underground boulders flying around him, he also continuously absorbed the extremely dense fire-attribute spiritual energy from the air to replenish his own consumption.
