Chapter 176 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave! Please watch the fireworks.
A thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air in front of the cave's stone gate.
The magma below churned incessantly, and the Void Devouring Flame, looking at the young man before it, was plunged into despair.
"I surrender!"
"Don't refine me!!"
He roared, trying to break free from the realm of time.
Xu Qi'an looked at the struggling Void Swallow in front of him and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
He activated the Burning Technique, and dense battle qi permeated the air. Accompanied by the power of time, he completely controlled the Void Devouring Flame in his hands.
Xu Qi'an glanced at Ye Ming beside him without making a sound, and said softly, "If you hadn't made a move, you might still have had a chance to survive."
"Now……"
He gripped the Void Devouring Flame tightly, unleashing the full power of his Burning Technique. The four-colored strange flames circulated, and his time control was activated. Then, he shoved the flame into his mouth.
Xu Qi'an closed his eyes indifferently, sat cross-legged in the air, and began to refine the Void Devouring Flame.
"If you don't die, then I should die..."
"I will never allow anyone who tries to rebel against me to exist..."
Seeing Xu Qi'an close his eyes and refine the void, Long Aotian consciously protected him by his side.
A terrifying swallowing force emanated from Xu Qi'an's body, and the Void Devouring Flame's intelligence struggled within him, trying to break free of this cage.
But all of this was in vain in the face of Xu Qi'an, who had mastered the power of time.
Every time Void Devouring Flame was about to unleash the power of its strange fire, it could revert to a weakened state by rewinding time.
Without the aid of elixirs or the assistance of others, Xu Qi'an alone was able to completely refine the Void Devouring Flame, which ranked second on the Strange Flame list.
His cultivation of the Burning Technique has once again taken a step towards a higher level.
Gu Yuan stared at the scene in the sky, his shock lingering.
At that moment, he met Ye Ming's gaze.
Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, quietly cupped his hands, and silently took a few steps back.
Ignoring his injuries, before the other party could speak, he tore open a spatial passage and plunged into it.
The moment the passage closed, Gu Yuan's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.
If possible, he would rather face the powerful Soul Emperor than go to war with Ye Ming!
Even now, he still doesn't know who these young men with similar faces are.
But Gu Yuan knew in his heart that if he didn't leave, he might never be able to leave again.
Ye Ming saw Gu Yuan tear open the spatial passage and leave, but his face remained completely calm.
He considered himself to be a trustworthy person, and since he had promised to spare the other party's life, he would not go back on his word.
The crimson light still lingered throughout the world. Ye Ming turned his head and focused his gaze on Zhu Kun, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
He was thinking.
Zhu Kun looked at Ye Ming's gaze and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"No, we're on the same side!"
"I have no interest in the lineage of Thoshkuti!"
Zhu Kun, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, suddenly felt a sense of panic.
He mumbled something incoherently, bowed to Ye Ming, and then vanished into the distant sky in a flash.
Zi Yan, who was observing the situation from a mountaintop in the distance, was still in a daze when she was suddenly grabbed by a purple dragon claw and flew away in a panic.
Long Aotian watched this scene without any dissatisfaction. He simply asked, "Aren't we going to go find that fruit anymore?"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Ye Ming spoke calmly, glanced at Xu Qi'an who was refining the Void Devouring Flame, raised his hand and waved, ten Bodhi seeds transformed into rich energy and poured into the other's body.
A massive amount of energy erupted within his body, greatly accelerating his progress in refining the Void Devouring Flame, and his cultivation level also skyrocketed.
Almost instantly, Xu Qi'an broke through the one-star Dou Sheng level. In the blink of an eye, he leaped to the six-star Dou Sheng level!
Sensing this aura, Ye Ming moved his hands slightly again, pouring the remaining Bodhi seeds into the other person's body.
Xu Qi'an trembled, but gritted his teeth and absorbed all of this warm yet vast energy, which was like a sea of stars!
During this process, the Void Devouring Flame that was originally struggling within his body gradually fell silent.
Buzz! !
A series of flames suddenly erupted from his body, illuminating the space behind him with a dazzling array of colors.
Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!
Sea Heart Flame!
Fallen Heartflame!
Void Devouring Flames!
The four different flames burst forth, accompanied by the rich energy of the Bodhi seed, which completely propelled Xu Qi'an's cultivation to the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng!
He quietly opened his eyes, and four-colored flames swirled within them before returning to their original colors.
Xu Qi'an quietly stood up and bowed slightly to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming nodded lightly and said to Long Aotian, "Go and help Lin Dong and the others. There aren't many alien races left in this world. Remember to force them to tell you the current number of humans."
He didn't want the human race, who were suddenly entering this instance world while it was absorbing the legacy of the ancient emperor, to be wiped out, causing the instance to collapse.
Without saying a word, Long Aotian plunged into the void and swept away into the distance.
Xu Qi'an and Ye Ming stood side by side, looking at the ancient stone gate that stood between heaven and earth.
Ye Ming took out the eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from his hand, fused them together, and then threw them to Xu Qi'an.
His own Gu worm system is incompatible with the Dou Qi system of this world.
This legacy is rightfully meant for Xu Qi'an, who possesses a battle qi system.
No matter how powerful the clone is, he can merge its power into his own body with a single thought.
"You don't have much time left in this world, hurry up."
Ye Ming looked at Xu Qi'an and said something, then opened the Fox Fairy Blessed Land and plunged inside.
He hasn't had time to refine the immortal Gu formula he deduced from under the Reincarnation Tree yet.
The current world is just right for him to refine some Gu worms.
"Phew~"
Xu Qi'an held the smooth jade stone in his hand, glanced at the closed gate of the Fox Immortal Paradise, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Being with the real person is inexplicably oppressive!"
He shook his head and smiled as he poured all the fighting spirit in his body into the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
Buzzing!!
The massive, ancient stone gate emitted a mysterious fluctuation, and a crack suddenly appeared in the gate.
As the jade in Xu Qi'an's hand shone with intense light, the ancient stone gate, which had been silent on the Dou Qi Continent for ten thousand years, slowly opened.
"Bang!!"
Just as the ancient stone gate was fully opened, a wave that seemed to originate from the primordial era suddenly surged forth, causing the entire magma sea to explode with towering waves.
The earth trembled, splitting open countless abysses thousands of feet deep.
Xu Qi'an's body shimmered with light, and a wisp of purplish-black flame enveloped his entire body.
The unique devouring power of the Void Devouring Flame spread out, absorbing all the terrifying pressure emanating from the stone gate.
Within a radius of a hundred miles around this ancient stone gate, all the murky, dark, and bloody stench was completely banished.
It was as if the stone gate possessed a spirit, disdaining to let these auras taint it in the slightest.
Strange ripples suddenly appeared on the ancient stone gate, and then space itself distorted. Within the giant gate, a passage that appeared almost transparent condensed.
Upon seeing the passage take shape, Xu Qi'an did not immediately enter it.
He activated the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, controlling the stone gate and maintaining the space, and then began to mobilize all the strange fires within his body.
His fingertips danced, and wisps of flame of different colors leaped between his palms.
In an instant, a pure four-colored fire lotus, infused with his current nine-star Dou Sheng Dou Qi, appeared in his palm.
Xu Qi'an gave it a gentle shake, and the fire lotus, like a newly born little elf, quietly hovered in front of him, with four flames flowing around it, as if it were blinking at him.
Seeing this, he didn't stop. His fingers danced again, and the refined strange fire reappeared. With practiced ease, he gave birth to another four-colored fire lotus.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...
Xu Qi'an stopped when the fire lotus in front of him reached a total of 10, and began to recover the energy he had consumed.
Soon after, when his internal energy reached its peak, he controlled the spinning fire lotuses in front of him and slowly stepped into the passage formed behind the stone gate.
After Xu Qi'an entered the stone gate passage, the sky became empty, with only an ancient giant gate still standing quietly above the magma sea!
After an unknown amount of time, in a world of magma below, the soul of the Heavenly Fire Venerable slowly emerged.
He glanced at the wide-open stone gate in the sky, but withdrew his gaze without hesitation.
"This is terrifying! This world is terrifying!"
"So, even the Venerable One is nothing more than a nobody!"
After glancing at the seedling of the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand, Venerable Heavenly Fire suddenly moved, rushing into the magma world ahead, grabbing a Dou Zun body that had been killed earlier but was still relatively intact, and rushing into the distance.
After entering the stone gate passage, Xu Qi'an found himself in a strange space.
A light mist hung in the air, making the entire space appear hazy and misty.
This space was completely silent, as if it had been quiet for tens of thousands of years.
In this boundless and vast space, there floats a piece of land, suspended in space without any support, like a castle in the air.
"Buzz!!"
The solitude that had permeated for millennia was suddenly shattered today.
The hazy space suddenly distorted, and Xu Qi'an's figure slowly emerged. In front of him, more than twenty four-colored fire lotuses swirled and danced.
All around was a hazy gray, but Xu Qi'an sensed a strong desire emanating from the Void Devouring Flame within his body, as if guiding him to rush into the distance.
Without hesitation, Xu Qi'an moved, leading a group of fire lotuses, and sped forward following the inexplicable guidance of the Void Devouring Flame.
Even at his current terrifying speed, it took him several tens of minutes to gradually come to a stop.
Looking at the ancient stone peak that appeared on the vast plain in front of him, Xu Qi'an's eyes revealed a look of joy.
The stone palace stands silently on the vast, endless plain, an ancient aura emanating from it and echoing between heaven and earth.
Before the stone hall lay an enormous plaza. On either side of the plaza stood towering pillars, each thousands of feet tall!
A majestic and imposing aura swept over us.
"The Strange Fire Plaza... We've finally arrived!"
Muttering something to himself, Xu Qi'an slowly stepped onto the square and walked along its edge towards the center!
The square was extremely vast, and as he walked through it, he felt like an ant in the desert, with no end in sight.
Beside him, atop a stone pillar, a deep yellow flame rose.
Xu Qi'an recognized the flame at a glance as the Xuanhuang Flame, ranked twenty-third on the Strange Flame Ranking.
However, the ball of Xuanhuang Flame above was merely an empty shell. The real Xuanhuang Flame had long since taken root on the Dou Qi Continent.
After glancing at the Xuanhuang Flame, Xu Qi'an continued forward.
Every time you walk a certain distance, a huge stone pillar will appear around you.
A strange flame will also appear at the top of these stone pillars.
Most importantly, he discovered that some of the strange flames on these stone pillars were not empty shells, but truly existed!
In other words, some of the strange flames escaped from the Strange Flame Plaza, while others were not just a single flame.
"Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Fallen Heart Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Sea Heart Flame, Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame..."
When they reached the end of the square, the last three stone pillars were completely empty.
The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking, is still in the Demon Flame Space, while the Void Devouring Flame, ranked second, has been refined into his body.
The number one ranked strange fire is naturally the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Flame, which devoured all other strange fires and broke through to the Dou Di realm!
The ancient emperor Tuoshe has long since disappeared, so naturally there will be no strange fire on this last stone pillar.
Ignoring the strange flames for the time being, Xu Qi'an turned his gaze to the end of the plaza, where the stone hall was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see anything inside.
With a thought, a small, purplish-black fire figure, about the size of a palm, appeared on his shoulder. He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the swirling mist into his body.
As the fog dissipated, a massive shadow enveloped the plaza. The towering stone statue of Tuoshegudi, standing tens of thousands of feet tall, abruptly appeared in the plaza.
The stone statue is in the shape of an old man, standing in this space, exuding a supreme aura that transcends heaven and earth.
Even Xu Qi'an felt a strong sense of oppression under this aura.
Numerous orbs of light danced around the stone statue, creating a dazzling spectacle from afar. Within these orbs of light were clearly ancient scrolls.
Hundreds of Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and combat skills are scattered randomly throughout this space.
"Finally, someone's here..."
"Tsk, Void Devouring Flame, you ungrateful wretch, now you've also been reduced to having your mind erased, huh? What a fitting end..."
An aged voice suddenly descended from the sky and entered Xu Qi'an's ears.
Xu Qi'an looked up and saw an old figure standing with his hands behind his back on the shoulder of the tall statue of Emperor Tuoshe, calmly watching him and the small purplish-black figure on his shoulder.
The appearance of this aged figure was exactly the same as that of the stone statue of the ancient emperor Natsoshe.
However, Xu Qi'an knew in his heart that this was not the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, but... an Emperor-grade embryonic pill!
He looked at the aged figure, a slight smile curving his lips.
"Old man, you must have been lonely in this space for countless years."
"I'll treat you to the fireworks!"
The aged figure was somewhat puzzled, but when he saw the twenty-odd four-colored fire lotuses spinning towards him, a look of horror rose in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
