Seeing that the volcanic rock flames would attack on their own initiative, Xiao Xuanyuan felt insulted and rose up in anger. He stretched out his hands and grabbed forward, and instantly his muscular arms surged with scalding red battle qi, like a majestic celestial being. Countless fire-attribute spiritual energies around him seemed to be summoned and rushed over wildly.

"Hey!"

Xiao Xuanyuan shouted and fiercely grabbed at the magma fire dragon coming from the dragon's horn.

Chi Chi Chi!

The clash of intense heat and fiery energy, the collision of magma and fire-based fighting spirit, Xiao Xuanyuan's arms, like a pair of muscular iron pincers, gripped the giant magma dragon's massive horns. Incredibly hot energy was continuously released from them, attempting to incinerate his iron arms and hands.

However, Xiao Xuanyuan cultivates the fire-attribute technique Burning Technique and has several kinds of strange fires by his side, so how could he be easily injured by its high temperature?

Countless powerful and profound fire energy surged from his arms, enveloping his hands. The energy from the fusion of the three different flames, including the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, acted like a glove. The magma fire dragon released high temperatures to scorch, and Xiao Xuanyuan used the energy of the different flames to resist. This was a battle of fire against fire.

Bang bang bang!

Countless energy shocks and explosions erupted all the way out. Although Xiao Xuanyuan had a firm grip on the magma dragon's two huge horns with his iron arms, his body was still violently pushed back by its immense force, leaving behind shockwaves in the sky.

"This fire dragon formed from magma can't harm me in the slightest! Open up!"

After being thrown back more than ten feet, Xiao Xuanyuan roared angrily. Flames erupted from his body, and his muscles bulged, making him look like a majestic and powerful Heavenly Fire Venerable. His iron arms suddenly burst forth with great force.

Aww

Amidst a mournful roar, Xiao Xuanyuan forcefully ripped the magma fire dragon's two giant horns off its head. The massive dragon head, along with its horns, was brutally torn apart from the middle by Xiao Xuanyuan's iron arms, and the entire body of the magma fire dragon was subsequently ripped to pieces.

The entire massive magma fire dragon was torn apart by Xiao Xuanyuan, starting from its head and horns, and shattered into sparks of fire energy amidst screams, scattering in all directions.

Xiao Xuanyuan, who had torn apart the entire magma dragon, was like a giant god with piercing eyes, and he stared at the volcanic rocks on the mountaintop.

As the magma fire dragon was destroyed, the dark red volcanic rock flames on the mountaintop seemed to sense the threat. Instantly, they swelled up and floated up from the magma-erupting mountaintop, rising into the sky like a dazzling, incredibly beautiful, huge sun, radiating a beautiful and bright, blinding flame.

呖呖

When it rose to almost the same position as Xiao Xuanyuan, a series of sharp, mournful cries came from the huge volcanic flames. Instantly, it split into two, then four, then eight. In the blink of an eye, the volcanic flames divided into twelve streams, which became twelve phoenixes bathed in flames, radiating beautiful fiery robes, and surrounded Xiao Xuanyuan from all directions.

Lili!

The twelve phoenixes, reborn in flames, simultaneously emitted sharp cries towards Xiao Xuanyuan at the center. The piercing sound waves caused Xiao Xuanyuan's mind to become dizzy and buzzing, as if he were a reef being battered by countless waves, constantly being washed away. The circulation of his fire battle qi in his meridians was also affected, causing stagnation and blockage.

"not good!"

Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and hurriedly circulated his soul cultivation technique, "Nine Profound Techniques of Heavenly Spirit," to stabilize his mind. The energy transformed from the three different flames within his body circulated throughout his body, trying his best to eliminate this influence.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was affected, the twelve phoenixes formed from the surrounding volcanic flames charged towards him with a loud, piercing cry. Countless firestorms rose out of thin air, crashing down on Xiao Xuanyuan like a raging storm.

Chapter 126 The Great Zhou Heavenly Shield

Lili!

The twelve phoenixes, formed from volcanic rock flames, were engulfed in flames, causing the surrounding void to distort violently and obscuring the light in the space around them. They unleashed terrifying energy that shook the heavens and the earth. With sharp screech, they shot out like swords towards Xiao Xuanyuan in the center.

With his immense soul perception spreading out, Xiao Xuanyuan had already sensed the extremely distorted high temperature around him. This extreme temperature was no less than, and perhaps even greater than, the temperature of every strange fire he had subdued before, demonstrating just how terrifyingly powerful this volcanic stone flame, ranked seventeenth on the strange fire list, truly was.

Even so, Xiao Xuanyuan was confident that he could subdue the volcanic rock flames that suddenly erupted and attacked him.

"Ancient Reincarnation Technique: Great Zhou Heavenly Shield!"

With a loud shout, Xiao Xuanyuan formed hand seals along a specific trajectory. Although the movements appeared extremely slow, the seals were actually completed in an instant. Immediately, Xiao Xuanyuan raised his hands above his head, and a huge celestial wheel depicting the heavens and earth and mountains and rivers formed above his head. Countless stars twinkled within it, accompanied by countless ancient array runes falling from it, rotating and swirling around Xiao Xuanyuan.

This is a defensive fighting technique that Xiao Xuanyuan just comprehended from the ancient fighting technique, the Reincarnation Ancient Art. It not only draws on the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram and has its foundation there, but also incorporates the formation techniques that Xiao Xuanyuan comprehended into it.

All methods are interconnected and integrated. The more you comprehend, the more you realize that the great principles all originate from the same source, and you can draw inferences from one instance to another. You can create your own unique fighting techniques, and that is the essence.

With the essence of the ancient reincarnation technique and the art of formations, the "Great Zhou Heavenly Shield" that Xiao Xuanyuan comprehended should be stronger than the original ancient reincarnation technique!

In an instant, the figures of twelve phoenixes reborn from the ashes appeared, like streaks of fireballs, and in the blink of an eye, they continuously slammed into the "Ancient Reincarnation Technique: Great Zhou Heavenly Shield" supported by Xiao Xuanyuan.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

Countless flames shot out, and massive energies collided and swept around. Under the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, countless ancient runes were shattered and destroyed as they spun, and countless starlight and shadows dimmed and disappeared in the clash. The entire Great Zhou Heavenly Shield flickered and swayed continuously.

The twelve phoenixes, rising higher and higher with each cry, charged forward relentlessly with their sharp beaks, claws, fireballs, and rivers of fire. Then, they retreated and began to attack again. Faced with the frenzied onslaught of the twelve phoenixes formed from volcanic rock flames, the stars and talisman wheel covering the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield gradually dimmed, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

"Order it for me!"

Seeing that the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield was about to consume most of its energy, Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and frantically activated the Burning Technique, opening all the blood vessels in his body and releasing fire battle qi into the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield to enhance its power.

Rumble!

The massive Great Zhou Heavenly Shield spun, emitting a deafening roar that could be heard for miles around. As Xiao Xuanyuan frantically unleashed his fire battle qi, the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield instantly stabilized from its near-collapse, maintaining its rock-solid rotation. Countless light and shadows, seemingly from ancient stars, scattered and drifted around Xiao Xuanyuan's body, steadily protecting him.

Thump thump thump!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Protected by Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful strength, even if the twelve phoenixes were torn to pieces and attacked with all their might, they could not break through his defense in a short time. Instead, they were mutually depleting each other's strength, seeing who could last longer.

"Damn it, could this volcanic rock flame have developed its own sentience like the black veil?!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was inwardly groaning, but he dared not slack off in the slightest, continuously outputting the fire battle qi that was constantly being converted from his body. This output speed almost surpassed the speed at which the fire battle qi was refined and absorbed by the Burning Technique.

At this rate, sooner or later, these twelve phoenixes would completely deplete his internal fire energy. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan made a plan. He stretched out his right hand and cast a series of hand seals at the huge rotating Great Zhou Tian Shield Wheel above his head, merging into the countless swirling starlight and shadows.

"Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, Void Annihilation!"

After a soft shout, the star runes surrounding Xiao Xuanyuan's body shone even brighter, flashing with countless ancient mysteries. Sometimes large, sometimes small, they began to spread outward from Xiao Xuanyuan's body, swirling and drifting a greater distance.

The twelve phoenixes, each carrying intensely hot flames that filled the sky, charged forward, then circled away amidst a series of violent explosions, consuming each other's strength.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan suddenly concentrated all his mind and released his soul perception to spread his eyes and ears all around. He immediately spotted the phoenix that was most exhausted and the weakest.

Lili!

The phoenix, reborn from the ashes, let out a sharp cry. Its body was a bright, dazzling red, and the flames raged around it for dozens of feet, almost like a giant mountain, covering a large part of the sky. With an unstoppable force, it flew towards Xiao Xuanyuan. Countless flame flowers bloomed all over the surrounding sky, falling and drifting, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Even though Xiao Xuanyuan's soul perception detected the phoenix as its weakest point, its soaring power and flames still carried a formidable force as it soared between heaven and earth.

Crackling sounds!

Peng Peng!

The sound of explosions was deafening. The star runes and shadows in the area attacked by the phoenix were shattered and turned into dust. After consuming the power of the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, the phoenix turned back and prepared to repeat the same trick to continuously deplete Xiao Xuanyuan's power.

But Xiao Xuanyuan did not give it that chance!

"Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap!"

With a soft shout, the countless star runes and shadows that spread out from the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield swarmed towards the phoenix in flames, surrounding it and forming an aerial cage made of star runes and shadows in an instant.

However, the Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes was formed from volcanic rock flames, so it certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and be captured. With an extremely loud and sharp cry, the Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes unleashed its extremely intense flames and relentlessly attacked the cage of starlight and shadow.

"Now that I've caught you, do you think you can escape?"

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a cold snort, and with a grab of his right hand, the stars and runes surrounding the phoenix in the fire instantly combined to form chains of starlight and runes that bound the phoenix.

Chapter 127 Sixteen-Year-Old Peak Nine-Star Dou Ling

Lili!

As the chains formed by countless star runes and shadows bound and surrounded it, the weakest of the phoenixes struggled frantically, letting out sharp cries and spitting out blazing fireballs at the chains swirling in the void. Its wings flapped wildly, lashing out at the chains that were entangling it, and its sharp claws tore apart more than ten chains of star runes and shadows in an instant.

However, all these struggles were in vain under the relentless onslaught of the star-studded chains that bound and restricted it. Even though the phoenix shattered dozens, even hundreds, of chains, it was ultimately bound by several star-studded chains that restricted its wings and limited its movements.

But this phoenix reborn from the ashes did not want to be captured. It kept turning its head and shrieking at the other eleven phoenixes around it, warning and calling for help. After hearing the phoenix's screams, the eleven phoenixes around it also shrieked in unison. The loud and piercing phoenix cries were so loud that they seemed to deafen people!

The remaining eleven phoenixes, reborn from the ashes, cried out in unison, as if in perfect unison. At the same time, they unleashed a torrent of ferocious flames, becoming even more ferocious than before, and launched a desperate attack.

Under the attack of these eleven enraged phoenixes reborn in flames, the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield trembled violently, its protective light barrier rippling and shaking intensely, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth, ignoring all of this, and continued to gather his fire battle qi to deal with the weakest of the phoenixes.

Tweet!

Entangled by countless chains formed from star runes, the weakest of the phoenixes was finally unable to withstand most of the attacks. The chains approached it, layer upon layer like a cocoon, binding its body tightly. Even the flames that swirled and burned around its body could not burn through the numerous star rune chains in an instant.

After binding the weakest of the phoenixes, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately cast a hand seal, pushing his internal Burning Technique to its limit. He frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing it into his body to restore the visibly depleted fire fighting energy in his meridians and dantian. There was no other way; this volcanic stone flame seemed to possess sentience. Having been nourished and grown over countless years, its power and energy were incomparable to the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that Xiao Xuanyuan had captured before.

Tweet!

Seeing their avatars, the phoenixes in flames, captured, the eleven phoenixes in flames went almost mad, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and launching a surging, desperate attack. The entire Great Zhou Heavenly Shield was shaken so badly that it was on the verge of collapse and about to shatter.

At this critical moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was going all out. The fire fighting energy constantly being transformed within his body poured into the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, continuously strengthening its defensive capabilities. Therefore, even though the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield looked like it was about to collapse, it could not be breached in the short term.

Tweet!

The phoenix, caught in the flames, struggled desperately, but could not break free from the countless chains of starlight and shadow. Like a tug-of-war, it was constantly being pulled closer and closer to where Xiao Xuanyuan was.

Having already come within two zhang, the phoenix in flames let out a sharp, loud cry, and in an instant, it completely dissipated, transforming into a ball of intensely burning flame energy that rushed towards the side. However, seeing the fat meat that was already in his mouth, Xiao Xuanyuan certainly wouldn't let it break through. He quickly changed his hand seals, and in an instant, countless star-shaped light chains condensed into a ball, transforming into a circular light screen cage, firmly imprisoning the ball of flame energy within it.

Bang bang bang!

The ball of fiery energy frantically crashed into the light barrier cage, charging left and right, but it still couldn't break through. It could only continuously explode with collision sounds within the light barrier cage.

Finally, the ball of flame energy that had split from the volcanic rock flame was brought closer to Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Hehe, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiao Xuanyuan opened his mouth wide and swallowed the ball of fiery energy into his stomach. Instantly, he felt an extremely intense energy burning his stomach and throat as he went down.

"The spirit of heaven and earth, condensed into countless flames, forged through the ages."

Burning Technique immediately initiated the refining process of the strange fire. After the ball of flame energy entered his abdomen, it was pulled into the meridians through which Burning Technique was circulating, like a stubborn ox being led by the nose, forcibly circulated and refined, unable to break free.

At first, it was quite difficult. The energy ball of volcanic rock flames radiated through the meridians, scorching them like rice paddies that had been parched for three years, causing them to burst open. However, under the protection of the fire battle qi that it had previously refined, it recovered instantly.

After about fifteen minutes of continuous refining, a difficult cycle had passed. The stubborn ball of volcanic rock flame had lost most of its resistance and become much more compliant. Xiao Xuanyuan seized the opportunity and continued to refine the ball of volcanic rock flame, completing another refining cycle.

About another fifteen minutes passed, and finally, the ball of volcanic rock flames completely transformed into a part of Xiao Xuanyuan's body, losing its original wildness and imprint.

"It's done!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed and immediately followed the same method, refining five of the remaining eleven phoenixes. The last six phoenixes, seeing the situation was not good, immediately merged together, transforming into a giant phoenix with a body as large as a small mountain, and attacked Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Only now have you realized it? Hehe, too late!"

After absorbing the energy of six phoenixes in a row, and refining almost half the energy of volcanic rock flames, Xiao Xuanyuan's aura suddenly surged, breaking through the bottleneck of the Seven-Star Dou Ling level. He then broke through two more levels in succession, reaching the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ling level and touching the thin membrane of the Dou Wang level.
