#722 - Emperor Yan, Xiao Yan

A slight sense of dizziness washed over him. When Xiao Yan regained his senses, he found himself in a wide space surrounded by a sea of fire.

The flames were dazzling, multicolored, and ever-changing.

Some transformed into formless pythons, others into blooming lotuses, and still others danced like thunder dragons.

This was an ocean of strange fire.

Xiao Yan casually grabbed a handful of flames. The flames were not scorching to him, only warm.

"Strange fire…" Xiao Yan murmured, walking among the various strange fires.

The strange fires clustered around him, appearing very affectionate.

"It seems your constitution is very popular with strange fires," an old voice echoed in the sea of fire.

Although Xiao Yan's innate attribute was fire, it was far from enough to make the strange fires welcome him. He was able to possess such a constitution because he had cultivated the Burning诀, which was acquired.

Cultivation methods would subtly change the original characteristics of cultivators. This was also why Amon did not forcibly cultivate unsuitable cultivation methods with his main body from the beginning.

The sudden voice startled Xiao Yan slightly. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a flower formed from flames blooming in the sea of fire ahead. Inside was an old figure wearing dark clothes, looking over with a smile.

Xiao Yan revealed a hint of surprise. He had originally thought he would see Amon.

It seems Amon only changed the appearance of the statue and did not change the content of the inheritance… he thought to himself.

"Junior Xiao Yan greets Senior Ancient Emperor," Xiao Yan respectfully performed a junior's salute.

After Tuoshe Ancient Emperor chatted with Xiao Yan for a while, he handed over his inheritance to him.

Countless flames converged into a lotus seed, suspended in front of Xiao Yan.

"This is my inheritance. Whether you can reach the level of Dou Di with it depends on your creation."

Xiao Yan looked at the lotus seed, a look of excitement appearing in his eyes.

"My inheritance requires a heart as firm as a rock. As long as one thought remains, it can never be extinguished!"

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor reminded him, controlling the fire lotus to fall onto the top of Xiao Yan's head, merging into his mind.

The moment the flame lotus seed merged, Xiao Yan's body began to turn red, like a cooked shrimp.

A seemingly endless stream of energy surged within his body, his meridians were swollen, and a tearing pain came from them.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yan's body suddenly exploded, and a sense of weakness came from the depths of his soul, making it almost impossible for him to maintain his consciousness.

Qing Meng also exploded along with him.

"Did I fail?" Xiao Yan was a little scared.

"A heart as firm as a rock. As long as one thought remains, it can never be extinguished!"

Xiao Yan's soul light团 flickered violently, a flame lotus seed looming, accompanied by a dazzling light, the blood mist that his body had turned into re-condensed.

Qing Meng also re-condensed. In the process of re-condensation, Qing Meng's strange fire source also merged into Xiao Yan's new body.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yan's body shattered again.

The light emitted by the lotus seed allowed it to re-condense again.

In the cycle of constant shattering, re-condensation, shattering, and re-condensation, Qing Meng and Xiao Yan completely merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor looked at this scene, which was somewhat beyond his expectations, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself:

"Oh… Mixing the strange fire source in the process of re-condensing the body, making yourself almost become a different kind of strange fire…"

…

While Xiao Yan was receiving Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's inheritance, Central State had already become a living hell.

The Soul Devouring Life Extinguishing Array enveloped the continent, allowing entry but not exit. The blue sky was covered by thick blood clouds. The sunlight shone through the blood-colored clouds, casting a dim luster, making people feel extremely depressed.

Corpses lay everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and a strong bloody smell permeated every corner of Central State. In this great array, even Dou Zun could not avoid the erosion of blood, and could only helplessly become part of the corpse.

Only Dou Sheng powerhouses could barely protect a small area of peace. However, in this formation, almost the entire Central State was under the perception of Hun Tiandi. When he discovered those Dou Sheng powerhouses, he would send Soul Clan powerhouses to kill them.

This was a catastrophe that no one could escape!

One month, two months, three months…

The originally prosperous Central State had almost turned into a dead zone.

Just as Hun Tiandi was absorbing the energy and blood gathered by the Soul Devouring Life Extinguishing Array, a tremor came from the Heavenly Tomb space.

Flames swept across the sky, dispelling the mist in the Heavenly Tomb, and the multicolored lights changed in the sky, appearing magnificent.

The Xiao Clan's people suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, and their aura rose crazily.

Especially Xiao Zhan, the increase was particularly obvious.

This was not the bonus brought by the Spirit Insect, but his own power!

"Young Clan Leader… He succeeded! He really succeeded!" The Great Elder was overjoyed.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also showed gratified smiles.

Xiao Zhan said with a smile: "I knew he wouldn't let me down… Pass down the order, from now on, the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan will be Xiao Yan!"

"Yes!"

The transfer of the Clan Leader's position was not hindered in any way. Xiao Yan taking over as the next Clan Leader was what everyone expected.

"Who would have thought back then that this little pervert could actually reach this point," Xiao Yu said in a daze.

"Sister, you have to call him Clan Leader!" Xiao Ning whispered.

"I know…" Xiao Yu pouted, glanced at Xiao Ning, and suddenly punched him on the head.

"It hurts… Why did you hit me?"

"It's nothing, I'm just too happy." Xiao Yu showed a sincere smile on her face.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Although Xiao Xiao, Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi had undergone an evolution and completely transformed into Dragon Phoenixes, without the blood of the Xiao Clan in their bodies, their cultivation did not skyrocket immediately.

However, they could all feel that a rule in the dark had descended on them, as if it was about to integrate a special force into them. If they accepted, their cultivation would also skyrocket, and the bloodline of the Xiao Clan would reappear on their bodies.

Xiao Huo, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi chose to accept. Almost at the same time, their aura rose to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

A trace of complexity flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and she finally refused:

"Get out of here!"

The power of the rules in the dark dissipated, and Xiao Xiao gasped for breath, repelling this power, which was a small consumption for her.

A figure wearing black clothes, with disheveled black hair and a handsome face, walked out of the flames in the sky.

He looked at the people of the Xiao Clan and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. Next, leave it to me."

"Hahaha… My son Xiao Yan, is indeed a Dou Di!" Xiao Zhan laughed loudly, and almost everyone could hear the undisguised joy and pride in his laughter.

Xiao Yan left the Heavenly Tomb and was preparing to go to Central State to settle the matter with Hun Tiandi when a young man wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle on his right eye appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations," Amon said with a smile.

"Amon… Teacher…" Xiao Yan respectfully performed a disciple's salute, "Thank you for your training."

Although Amon's behavior was somewhat fickle, and many times, he might not be on the same position as himself, he did help him a lot, so Xiao Yan sincerely acknowledged the relationship between them as teacher and student.

"Hun Tiandi hasn't succeeded yet. What I told you before, your final test is to defeat the Soul Emperor, Hun Tiandi… so you can't kill him yet," Amon said with a chuckle.

In the original work, after Zhu Kun brought out the Different Fire Square, he didn't tell anyone and secretly researched it for more than a month, so Xiao Yan's time to become Emperor was half a month later than Hun Tiandi's.

If Hun Tiandi hadn't acted immediately and had been waiting for the Void Swallowing Flame's small actions, it would have been a different ending.

This time, without Zhu Kun's hidden time, and Xiao Yan himself was stronger than in the original work, the time required to receive the inheritance was also longer, which greatly advanced him and became Emperor one step ahead of Hun Tiandi.

"But the catastrophe in Central State…"

"The catastrophe is the catastrophe… What does it have to do with me?" Amon shrugged, looking indifferent.

Xiao Yan looked hesitant.

On some concepts, he and Amon were destined to be incompatible. If only a few people died, Xiao Yan wouldn't have too many thoughts, but like Hun Tiandi, sacrificing the entire Central State with blood made him feel a little angry.

Amon pinched the monocle made of crystal and smiled: "It seems you care a lot and want to go over, but you are a little difficult to choose because of my obstruction."

"How about this, come and fight me. If you can win even half a move, then it's okay for you to kill the Hun Tiandi who hasn't become Emperor yet."

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded: "Then teacher, I'm offended."

He tentatively waved a flame, and the flame turned into a flame spear, shooting straight at Amon.

Starlight surged, and a door appeared in the path of the flame spear. Amon said with a smile:

"Don't worry about hurting me, attack with all your strength, these little tricks are useless."

Xiao Yan's face was solemn, Dou Qi surged on his body, and overwhelming flames surged from his body, and finally gathered in his palm, forming an exquisite fire lotus.

"Go."

The fire lotus rotated, crossing in the air.

Amon pushed his monocle, and a pure light bloomed in the lens. Infinite light surged, illuminating the void.

"When…"

Along with a bell that seemed to span history and sounded from the river of time, countless doors condensed by starlight floated in front of Amon, blocking the path of the fire lotus.

The doors surrounded the fire lotus from all directions, seemingly trying to seal it.

Xiao Yan realized that the connection between himself and the fire lotus was rapidly weakening, and decisively detonated it in advance.

"Explode!"

An indescribable light and heat spewed out, instantly tearing apart the seal formed by the doors. The fire storm swept around with unstoppable power.

The expanding fire cloud engulfed Amon and Xiao Yan at the same time.
