Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

A moment later, Xiao Yan stretched and casually placed the Sea Heart Flame, which had been sealed, in the sky. Then he turned his gaze to the Fallen Heart Flame in the sea of ​​magma.

Seemingly sensing the greedy look in Xiao Yan's eyes, the colorless flames of the Fallen Heart Flame rapidly contracted, quickly curling up in a corner of the sealing array, watching Xiao Yan warily as he slowly landed on the lava.

Watching the rapidly retreating, invisible flames, Xiao Yan blinked slightly, and a strange fluorescent light appeared in his dark eyes. As this light filled his vision, the underground world before him instantly changed—

Although it was still a crimson world, the Fallen Heart Flame curled up in the corner slowly became transparent. Within that transparency, a palm-sized, milky-white flame snake was constantly flickering. The snake's pupils were filled with invisible flames, and its eyes looked quite lively as it moved.

It is obvious that this little snake possesses intelligence.

As Xiao Yan gazed at the fiery snake, it seemed to sense an even more blatant greed. Immediately, a fierce light appeared in its snake eyes, and terrifying invisible flames rose directly from Xiao Yan's body.

"Is this the true origin of the Fallen Heart Flame?" After manipulating the crimson flames to devour the heart flames, Xiao Yan smiled.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame curled up in the corner was such a large mass, as long as the milky white snake was caught, it would be possible to peel off all of the Fallen Heart Flame's "outer flames".

Looking at the Fallen Heart Flame cowering there with a fierce expression, Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. He slowly stretched out his slender arm, and before the crimson flames enveloped it, layers of purple dragon scales adhered to it.

After his right arm had completely transformed into a "dragon claw," Xiao Yan moved it slightly, and then his soul power locked onto the location of the small fire snake.

The spirit of the strange fire was, after all, a wondrous creature born of nature. Although it did not sense Xiao Yan's soul power, it still subconsciously sensed something was wrong. With a flick of its tail, its small body darted and weaved within the "outer flames," seemingly trying to evade Xiao Yan's soul power.

However, no matter how it moved around, it always stayed within the range of the surrounding flames. After all, this sealing formation, which was personally set up by Xiao Yan, was not something that the current Fallen Heart Flame could break.

laugh!

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. A tangible afterimage remained in place, while his figure appeared like a ghost on the edge of the colorless outer flame. His hand, covered in crimson flames and purple scales, shot out and plunged straight into the flames. Then, he clenched his fist and quickly retreated!

"Hush-hush-"

Xiao Yan moved with ghostly speed, and in the blink of an eye, he flashed back to the previous spot, completely merging with the afterimage that had not yet completely dissipated. However, this time, in the crimson flames of his right hand, a milky white flame snake was struggling frantically, its sharp hissing constantly ringing out.

With his gaze fixed on the small fire snake struggling frantically in the crimson flames, a fanatical glint gradually appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. "Finally, we've reached this point. After devouring it and the Sea Heart Flame, the Burning Technique should be able to break through to the Heavenly Rank, right?"

After a moment of melancholy and excitement, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged, and the crimson flames on his palm suddenly intensified. As the crimson flames burned wildly, the small flame snake slowly sank down and finally flowed into Xiao Yan's body through his palm.

This wasn't the first time Xiao Yan had devoured a different kind of fire. He knew the whole process by heart. With the help of his spiritual soul power, he easily captured the source of the Fallen Heart Flame. After that, he used the crimson flame to erode and devour the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, even with all the preparations made, Xiao Yan still hadn't anticipated one thing—

The explosion of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower was orchestrated by Han Feng's assassins. By utilizing a layer of the Sea Heart Flame and the power of the Fallen Heart Flame, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower was easily destroyed. The reason why the Fallen Heart Flame hadn't left when Su Qian arrived was entirely because it was devouring that layer of the Sea Heart Flame.

Now, as Xiao Yan swallowed the Fallen Heart Flame, which had absorbed some of the Sea Heart Flame's essence, and continued to erode it with crimson flames, the sealed Sea Heart Flame slowly drifted down from the sky and finally landed in Xiao Yan's palm.

Xiao Yan himself was completely unaware of this strange situation.

'Sea Heart Flame? What's going on? It broke the seal?'

Xiao Yan, who had almost completely refined the Fallen Heart Flame, stared blankly at the deep blue flame that had appeared in his meridians. However, after a brief moment of astonishment, Xiao Yan decisively enveloped the Sea Heart Flame in the crimson flame.

"It's alright, it's almost over anyway. At most, after the absorption is complete, we'll just need to extinguish the Heart Fire before upgrading the Burning Technique." Xiao Yan didn't take this small accident to heart.

Only after absorbing the two strange flames and opening his eyes with a satisfied expression, seeing the exquisite, jade-like body slowly emerging under the seven-colored light, did Xiao Yan vaguely remember a few things—

Having refined the dragon-phoenix horn, established a bloodline link with Zi Yan, crafted an artificial flame using his own blood, and cultivated the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique—capable of transforming humans into dragons—in a sense, he was already a dragon-phoenix, and moreover, a dragon-phoenix evolved from the Primordial Void Dragon…

The crimson world remained deathly still; apart from the sounds of flowing lava, it was as quiet as a dead zone.

Bang!

Suddenly, the magma erupted, and as a cloud of white mist rose, two figures burst forth from beneath it.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, appeared to be the latter chasing the former. However, the extremely fierce streams of seven-colored energy that shot out with sharp killing intent had no effect on the figure in front.

Although the figure in front looked extremely disheveled while dodging the seven-colored energy, the overwhelming seven-colored energy didn't even shatter the hem of the figure's clothes.

The missing seven-colored energy all fell into the magma, and magma shot out in the air amidst the earth-shattering explosion.

"Are you calm now?"

After not sensing any battle aura from Queen Medusa behind him for a while, Xiao Yan cautiously turned around and asked.

"Calm down, ha... I wish I could tear you to pieces!" Queen Medusa's beautiful face was covered in frost, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she had an irreconcilable hatred for Xiao Yan.

"I didn't expect this kind of accident to happen..." Xiao Yan said with a helpless expression. "Normally, absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame shouldn't have had such an outrageous effect on me..."

Although Xiao Yan knew that it was probably the accumulated inner fire that ignited the dragon's nature, he wasn't foolish enough to reveal such a thing.

“My status in the Gama Empire is not bad,” Xiao Yan thought, looking at Queen Medusa, whose face was frosty but who did not make another move. “How about… after we go back, I ask the royal family to reserve a living area for your snake-people near the Monster Mountain Range?”

"What do you take me for?!" Upon hearing this, Queen Medusa was furious. With a flick of her palm, surging seven-colored energy burst forth once again.

"This is compensation, compensation! Not a deal!"

From the moment he began absorbing the Netherworld Poison Flame, Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding of the girl's thoughts. "I know I was wrong, so you have to give me a chance to make it up to you, right?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's hurried words, Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment, and then the seven-colored energy in her palm slowly disappeared.

"Speaking of which... your injuries should have healed by now, right?"

When he said those words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect that in his moment of euphoria, he would forget that Queen Medusa was seriously injured after the battle at the Ten Kings Palace, and he also didn't expect that his bodily fluids, which were essentially half-dragon-phoenix, would have a healing effect...

"Apart from the injuries to my soul, I have basically recovered completely," Queen Medusa replied coldly.

Chapter 336 Another Fallen Heartflame

"A wound to the soul?" Xiao Yan nodded. "I don't have any suitable pills on hand right now. Can I find some medicinal herbs in the Black Corner Region after we get out? Is that alright?"

Queen Medusa nodded indifferently. "So, you're leaving now?"

“Uh… there’s one more thing I need to confirm,” Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, “There seems to be something calling to me from beneath this magma.”

After refining the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan was able to clearly feel a strange summoning intent coming from below the magma. However, due to the side effects of the Dragon Phoenix Demon Flame, he temporarily put this matter aside.

Now that things have calmed down, it's time to explore what lies beneath this magma.

"Summon you?" Queen Medusa frowned slightly.

"Well, to be precise, it's the Fallen Heart Flame, but after I devoured it, it was like it was summoning me," Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled helplessly. "Although the area below the magma is quite dangerous, my strength is not bad after all, so I'm prepared to take a slight risk."

Their strength is not bad?

Hearing Xiao Yan's "modest" words, Queen Medusa's eyes twitched slightly. The last time she woke up, Xiao Yan, with the help of that strange formation, was already able to fight against a high-level Dou Zun. And now, after absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi level alone had reached the level of a one-star Dou Zong...

In any case, Queen Medusa couldn't imagine that with Xiao Yan exerting his full strength, there was no one in the Northwest Continent who could threaten him. That's why Queen Medusa, who realized earlier that she was no match for Xiao Yan, chose to give up after venting her anger.

"Shall we go down now?" Queen Medusa asked Xiao Yan.

"You want to come down with me?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly. Given Queen Medusa's personality, he had thought she would choose to leave this underground world on her own first.

"No?" Queen Medusa looked at Xiao Yan coldly.

"That's not it..." Xiao Yan shrugged, then flicked his right hand, and the somewhat bulky Xuan Heavy Ruler appeared in his hand. After looking around, he suddenly waved his sleeve, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler transformed into a black shadow that shot out and finally slammed into the rock wall above. The powerful force directly caused the Xuan Heavy Ruler to penetrate several feet deep.

On the heavy ruler, Xiao Yan attached a trace of his soul imprint, which would serve as his guide. The bottom of the magma was quite blurry, its depth unknown, and its area was incredibly vast. If one were to wander into it recklessly, who would know where to go to eventually return to the magma?

Now that there are road signs, even if he encounters something amiss, Xiao Yan can quickly find the exact location. At the same time, once he confirms what is summoning him from below, he doesn't have to waste time looking for the way.

After finishing this task, Xiao Yan extended his hand to Queen Medusa, "Shall we go?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's outstretched hand and then at the magma below, Queen Medusa, despite her Dou Zun strength, was not afraid of the magma below. After hesitating, she still moved closer to Xiao Yan and finally placed her hand on his.

'I thought he would be refused...' Xiao Yan muttered to himself. As long as he had the strength of a Dou Zong, the magma below would not have much of an impact before his Dou Qi was exhausted. So he was prepared to be refused when he reached out, after all, he had done that kind of thing not long ago.

After muttering something, crimson flames slowly surged from Xiao Yan's body, eventually enveloping him and Queen Medusa. Then, he plunged headlong into the lava pool below, carrying Queen Medusa with him.

Pfft!

Upon entering the lava pool, a burst of bubbles rose up and then quickly burst open, plunging the endless world of lava back into silence. Only the black ruler on the rock wall emitted a faint light, like a lighthouse.

After lingering in the magma for a while, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a wisp of invisible flame slowly rose from his fingertip.

As soon as the flame appeared, it suddenly became scorching hot and bright. Then, the flame shifted slightly, aiming at the depths of the magma. Seeing this, Xiao Yan released his control over the flame.

As soon as control was released, it suddenly rushed into the depths of the magma.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yan exhaled and quickly followed the wisp of flame with Queen Medusa. Guided by the flame, the two of them darted through the viscous lava like fish entering the sea.

Xiao Yan knew very little about this magma sea. The only thing he knew was that it seemed to be the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame. As for whether this magma sea contained anything else, he had no idea.

Of course, even Elder Su Qian probably doesn't know much about what's in the magma beneath this inner courtyard, since this place was once the sealed location of the Fallen Heart Flame. The only person who might know something about the magma sea is the academy headmaster whose whereabouts are unknown.

"Speaking of which, how should I address you from now on?"

During the descent, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of this matter, "After all, we have a relationship... I can't keep calling you Medusa, can I?" Under the gaze of Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan took back the first half of his sentence.

"Is there a problem?" Queen Medusa asked coldly.

"Mainly because we're not very close..." Xiao Yan muttered to himself before continuing, "How about... calling her Cai Lin?"

Queen Medusa was baffled by Xiao Yan's nonsensical words. "Medusa is both my name and my identity!"

"I already said we're not that close... From now on, I'll call you Cai Lin."

"roll!"

……

Amidst the commotion, Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa had been submerged for over twenty minutes. Although this time was much shorter than the "inheritance" illusion of the Dark Sacred Tiger that Xiao Yan had experienced before, their strength was undeniable. If it were him back then, he would have been lost in the sea of ​​lava long ago.

'Oh, no, if you're not strong enough, you can't even get off.'

After chuckling to himself, the rapidly descending Fallen Heart Flame suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this scene, both Xiao Yan and Medusa were invigorated. They were already tired of the monotonous sea of ​​lava below, and it would be best to end it as soon as possible.

After rousing themselves, the two looked around—

This place was still a crimson world, and it didn't seem to be the end of this lava sea, because the lava beneath their feet was still dark red, and upon closer inspection, it faintly revealed a chilling darkness. No one knew what lay at the end of this underground world.

As the two looked around, the Fallen Heart Flame in front of them drifted, and then a faint flame poured down from it, illuminating the lava below like a lamppost.

A moment later, the magma began to slowly undulate, and then a transparent halo emitting a faint glow emerged from the magma vortex.

As the transparent halo gradually appeared, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief—

The moment the halo appeared, he mobilized his soul power. After all, no one knew what was inside the halo, and if it was an enemy, it would be easier to deal with it as soon as possible. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yan knew what was inside the halo immediately: a skeleton that had turned into white bones, and a flame floating on the skeleton.

The flame was completely transparent, as if it were invisible. It might be unfamiliar to others, but it was extremely familiar to Xiao Yan. He had even been fighting against it just a few hours ago.

"Fallen Heartflame?"

When the aperture fully appeared, Medusa saw what was inside and was momentarily bewildered. "In the same place... how could a second Fallen Heart Flame be born while the first one hasn't even disappeared?"
