N-A-A 978. Glazed Beast Displays its Power
978. Glazed Beast Displays its Power
The colossal black-purple flame dragon, shattered an inch, would immediately regenerate an inch, its astonishing regenerative power leaving onlookers speechless. This was a characteristic of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, ranked ninth on the list of extraordinary flames—endless, immortal, and indestructible!
Xiao Yan stood in mid-air. Although the giant dragon formed by the Three Thousand Burning Flames blocked his way, the sharpness of the giant pestle still affected him, causing his robes to flutter and his face to feel a slight stinging pain.
"As expected, a simple strange fire is still too powerless against a Heaven-rank fighting technique of this level."
The azure primordial lotus earth core flame and the sea blue primordial sea core flame also obeyed Xiao Yan's summons and appeared in his palm.
These two strange flames seemed to have gained complete sentience, dancing in Xiao Yan's palms.
"Let's see if we can stop the three different kinds of flames."
A deep blue sea-blue flame appeared, and at its center, a palm-sized fire beast, its surface shimmering with glaze, slowly rose. Unlike other fire-glazed beasts, its surface was extremely smooth, like the finest sapphire. Eight long tentacles unfurled from beneath it, revealing an octopus-like fire beast.
The fire beast would condense according to the characteristics of the strange fire, and its final form was beyond the control of even its master, Xiao Yan. With the enhancement of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, the fire beast's eight tentacles extended and thickened wildly, each one resembling a colossal blue crystal python piercing the heavens and earth!
At the same time, the azure tortoise also appeared, releasing azure glaze to indicate its presence, and charged forward with its body. However, due to the intensity of the flames, it could only block part of the power from the side.
The octopus fire beast extends its python-like tentacles, with sea-blue flames, accompanied by tidal forces, constantly entwining and rising from all directions.
Even with triple protection, the force of the attack was insufficient to withstand its power, and the body continued to fall.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler appeared in his hand. Now, he only had one type of original strange fire left in his body, a pale black flame, which began to burn on the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler underwent an unprecedented upgrade within the Pill Tower. To upgrade it, he even sacrificed a top-three ranked potion from the Heavenly Ranking, making his Xuan Heavy Ruler worthy of being among the strongest weapons on the continent.
However, quite embarrassingly, the Xuan Heavy Ruler became less useful after Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Sheng level.
The reason is that there are too few suitable fighting techniques. Even the Heaven-rank fighting techniques that the Yan Clan gave to Xiao Yan have nothing to do with the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
But Xiao Yan received an unprecedented opportunity during his countless reincarnations!
Although the hundred cycles of reincarnation did not grant him any new fighting techniques, those experiences brought his proficiency with his Heavenly Rank fighting techniques to an unimaginable level.
After that, Xiao Yan also discovered that the Fire Beast Breathing Technique was extremely well-suited to him.
He can condense his primordial fire into a Flame Glaze Beast. The Flame Glaze Beast is intelligent and, because it is Xiao Yan's primordial flame, it can act completely according to Xiao Yan's will.
Just now, Xiao Yan controlled three different fire cubs to continuously block and weaken the attack of the Void Ancient Dragon.
These young beasts also have another purpose: to be integrated into the Xuanzhong Ruler.
The aura of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix appeared instantly. This aura of a nemesis made everyone in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan instantly alert. Only after they realized that it was just Xiao Yan emanating from it and that it was not the real Heavenly Demon Phoenix that arrived did their vigilance subside slightly.
With all his power amplified, Xiao Yan stared intently at the pestle that had reached him.
Xiao Yan didn't use any unnecessary fighting techniques this time. He used all his strength, without any fancy moves, and swung the Xuan Heavy Ruler with all his might.
"Burn away!"
With unwavering determination and an indomitable spirit, Xiao Yan confronted the giant pestle that descended from the sky with his own foot.
Although the giant pestle possessed terrifying power, it had already been weakened by Xiao Yan's three fire beasts, and its remaining strength was insufficient. It already lacked the power to directly defeat Xiao Yan, let alone now that Xiao Yan was at his peak!
Under Xiao Yan's extremely savage and brutal attack, the tip of the Dou Qi Giant Pestle paused for a moment, its forward momentum was completely blocked, and it was even slightly knocked back by Xiao Yan.
Then the light dimmed, the contained battle energy could no longer maintain its form, and fine cracks appeared on the exquisite, work-of-art-like giant pestle, with a continuous series of creaking sounds. In the end, this powerful attack, renowned throughout the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, had no effect whatsoever and was directly shattered.
"What? How is that possible?"
"To shatter it with a single blow, who is this person?"
"With such formidable strength, is he really a one-star Dou Sheng?"
"Very well, Heaven has not forsaken Donglong Island!"
Xiao Yan's attack was decisive, once again surprising everyone with his formidable strength. This was the Grand Elder of the two Dragon Islands! In fact, when Xiao Yan was trapped, almost all the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan thought this strange human was doomed.
But reality was quite different; he not only did not perish, but he actually survived!
If Xiao Yan's swift killing of a one-star Dou Sheng had drawn everyone's attention, then now, he has transformed from a surprise attack into a truly crucial part of the battle.
A powerful individual of this caliber truly has the potential to shake up the current situation.
"This person is very strong, we must not underestimate him."
"With so many strange flames, I think I already know who he is."
The two powerful figures from South Dragon Island and West Dragon Island were also having a brief exchange. Not only them, but everyone else was also pondering Xiao Yan's identity.
Qingmu, the Grand Elder of Donglong Island, was exceptionally knowledgeable. Upon seeing the endless stream of strange flames, he naturally guessed Xiao Yan's identity.
In the mainland, the one who can simultaneously control so many different flames and even come to Donglong Island to help is naturally Xiao Yan, the young master of Xingyun Pavilion and a prominent figure of the Xiao clan.
His heart, which had been on the verge of despair, was given renewed hope because of Xiao Yan's arrival!
The gap between him and the Southern Dragon King was already enormous, not to mention the vast difference in the number and quality of the powerful figures under their command.
But after Xiao Yan distracted the two two-star Dou Sheng, the pressure on their side was greatly reduced. Elder Qingmu used all his skills and various methods to forcibly entangle as many people as possible here.
Exhausted from his battle qi, Aoki was panting heavily between attacks. Even in this dangerous and tense situation, he silently prayed. He was willing to sacrifice himself and everyone on Donglong Island to give Ziyan a chance at survival.
He was one of the few long-lived members of the Ancient Dragon Clan, having witnessed the glorious reign of the previous Dragon Emperor. At that time, the Ancient Dragon Clan was the most powerful force on the continent. Not to mention other magical beast families, even families descended from Dou Di could only achieve a level playing field with the Ancient Dragon Clan at best.
Because the old Dragon Emperor has mysteriously disappeared and his fate is unknown, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has been silent for far too long.
