Chapter 1236: Gu Xun'er Who Devoured the Void's Child Fire and Indignation

Xiao Ling, can you handle this child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan?

Still the desolate world filled with milky-white lava, Lin Feng sat in midair, glanced at the corpse of Hun Feng before him, then turned his head to the girl beside him and said.

Hearing that, Xiao Ling immediately patted her well-developed granary in front of her, and said via telepathy: "Master, just put your heart at ease. If the main body of this thing were present, I would have no hesitation, I'd hoist you up and run faster than anyone. But it's just a mere child fire; I'll take care of it in a split second."

While speaking, this girl patted her own chest in front, making a puffing sound, and even her little face unconsciously lifted slightly.

Hearing that, Lin Feng immediately nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll leave this to you."

Seeing the girl so confident, Lin Feng also didn't say anything more, immediately rose to his feet, tapped the void with his toes, and instantly retreated several thousand zhang away.

"Ha!"

At the same time the former retreated, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and amidst her spirited shout, golden flames madly surged out from within her body.

These flames then rushed outward in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, a golden sea of fire several hundred zhang wide formed in the sky centered on her.

"Squeak!"

And at the moment Xiao Ling summoned the golden sea of fire, a piercing sound immediately spread from within Hun Feng's body.

The next moment, a cluster of strange black flames suddenly erupted from Hun Feng's corpse; the black flames roiled and, in the blink of an eye, coalesced into a human face hovering above the corpse, suspended within the golden sea of fire, staring off at Xiao Ling from afar.

Accompanying the appearance of the black-flame face, waves of devouring power violently surged from its mouth, frantically sucking in the surrounding golden flames.

"Hmph, you ugly monster, I haven't even started eating you, yet you actually thought of eating me!"

Seeing the black flame's move, Xiao Ling's face instantly flushed with anger.

And while she was speaking, the surrounding golden flames immediately flew toward her, then adhered to her body's surface, condensing into a crystal-like armor that wrapped her well-developed lovely form.

"Wind Fury Dragon Flame, speed!"

Once the armor formed, Xiao Ling's jade feet, wrapped in golden embroidered shoes, lightly tapped the void, and her lovely form shot forth like an arrow toward the black-flame face.

Accompanied by earth-yellow flames appearing on Xiao Ling's calves, her speed suddenly surged to a terrifying degree; even a six-star Dou Sheng would not dare claim they could defeat her with certainty.

"Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire, power!"

Then, before the opponent could react, Xiao Ling threw a punch, fiercely smashing it onto the black-flame face, instantly flattening its huge visage; immediately following, the immense force from her fist shoved forward, instantly blasting the child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan several hundred zhang away.

And as it flew backward, suddenly several strands of golden light, like sharp awls, burst forth from the back of the black face, piercing a hole through it.

Obviously, this golden energy was something Xiao Ling secretly sent into the opponent's body during her strike, using some unknown method, and then it suddenly erupted.

"Squeak!"

Having been wounded both inside and out by Xiao Ling, the face formed from the child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan dimmed considerably, and at the same time its mouth let out a sharp, somewhat shrill scream.

Immediately after, it began its furious action, black flames surging endlessly from within, then wildly sweeping toward Xiao Ling opposite!

"Hmph, Ancient Spirit Cold Fire, freeze!"

Faced with the sweeping black flames, Xiao Ling let out a cold snort from her jade nose, then tapped the void with her toes; as she retreated, she waved her jade hand, releasing a large amount of white flames.

"Creak. creak"

Accompanied by the collision of white and black flames, although there was no imagined violent explosion sound, both sides were madly eroding each other.

However, after a stalemate for a period, the black flames finally could not hold up, being rapidly frozen by the white flames into chunks of flame-ice, appearing extraordinarily strange.

"Squeak!"

Seeing the ice rapidly freezing along the black flames, the face condensed from black flames instantly showed a hint of panic, then growled uneasily.

Although it is a child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan, Xiao Ling is a fire spirit formed from the fusion of eleven different heavenly fires, including the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

Even if she cannot match the main body of Wu Nie Tun Yan, dealing with a mere child fire is still no trouble for her.

"Creak. creak"

At the same time, as Xiao Ling's Ancient Spirit Cold Fire quickly spread, in the blink of an eye it had already enveloped the child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan, freezing it into a huge dark-gray ice pillar.

"Break!"

And at the instant the child fire of Wu Nie Tun Yan was frozen, Xiao Ling swiftly reached out and grasped it; immediately the ice pillar imprisoning the black-flame face shattered, turning into a sky-full of ice crystals.

As for the black-flame face inside, it likewise vanished, leaving only a black-flame serpent about a zhang long remaining in place.

"Whoosh!"

The black-flame serpent, as soon as it appeared, instantly seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and immediately went madly dashing in the opposite direction from Xiao Ling.

"Come back, you!"

Xiao Ling, facing this situation, let out a spirited shout, and golden flames surged from within her body, transforming into several fire dragons that shot at extreme speed toward the fleeing black-flame serpent!

The fire dragons were extremely fast; in the blink of an eye they intercepted the fleeing black-flame serpent, then opened their huge mouths and instantly swallowed it whole; afterward the dragons swiftly retreated, bringing the swallowed black-flame serpent back into Xiao Ling's body together.

Immediately afterward, under Lin Feng's curious gaze, the black-flame serpent quickly merged into Xiao Ling's body; then Lin Feng's internal Burning Scripture suddenly began operating at full power on its own, and between the flames and douqi circulating, the black-flame serpent and Xiao Ling soon became completely one.

And just at the moment the black-flame serpent disappeared, a strand of extremely faint black flame suddenly sprang forth from within Xiao Ling's body out of nowhere, then shot rapidly toward her head to burrow in!

Because Lin Feng could sense Xiao Ling's internal condition, he naturally became aware of her state.

Upon noticing the black flame heading toward Xiao Ling's brain, his expression involuntarily twitched slightly.

But out of trust in Xiao Ling, seeing that the girl had no reaction, Lin Feng also suppressed the urge to intervene, letting the black flame continue toward her brain.

"Hiss!"

At this very moment, Xiao Ling, facing the black flame drifting toward her brain, appeared completely composed, unhurried and calm.

At the instant the black flame entered her brain, countless golden fire threads rapidly formed around it, in the blink of an eye weaving into a fire net that tightly bound the black flame, emitting a piercing hiss while simultaneously successfully restraining the black flame's movement, preventing it from wandering further.

"Seal!"

And after restraining the black flame's movement, Xiao Ling clenched her silver teeth, then the golden fire net violently contracted; the suddenly shrunken fire net was forcibly embedded into the black flame itself.

However, under the sustained power of the fire net, that strand of black flame ultimately could not withstand it, and with a bang it was crushed into large patches of black light spots.

Afterward, the golden flames swiftly swept over these child fires of Wu Nie Tun Yan, quickly sucking those black light spots into her body.

"Hiss!"

Just as those black light spots merged into her body, one could see that on Xiao Ling's smooth, round forehead there suddenly appeared a strange and ancient black fire mark.

However, this black fire mark did not last long; shortly afterward a faint light flickered and it vanished from sight.

Hehe, done!

At the same time, Xiao Ling, after absorbing those black specks of light, gave a delighted jump, then her youthful, lively delicate figure flickered and instantly appeared before Lin Feng, and then she urged: "Master, master, you quickly try it, see if you have gained the ability to devour all things."

While speaking, this girl lifted her slightly immature delicate little face, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked toward Lin Feng.

"Hehe, don't rush, I'll give it a try."

Seeing this girl's impatient look, Lin Feng immediately lightly stroked her smooth golden hair, then subconsciously extended his palm, mobilizing the strange fire to cling to his palm, and grabbed at the empty space before him.

And as he moved, in an instant an invisible vortex swiftly formed in his palm; at the same time, the scattered energy in the surrounding heaven and earth instantly, under a mysterious suction force, gathered toward his palm.

In a short moment, those turned into colorful energy dragons that flew toward Lin Feng's palm and finally entered his meridians.

At the moment those energies entered his body, what shocked Lin Feng was that, after being roasted by the golden strange fire, those energies instantly turned into streams of pure energy that ran wildly through his meridians and were finally absorbed by his body.

"Hey, I never expected that after absorbing this infant fire from Hun Feng's corpse, I would truly possess the devouring power of Wu Nie Tun Yan!"

Seeing the experiment succeed, Lin Feng instantly felt a surge of ecstasy.

Now possessing the ability of Wu Nie Tun Yan, although certainly cannot be compared with the true form of Wu Nie Tun Yan, it still allows him to handle many matters later on, making things much easier.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but excitedly lift Xiao Ling's face before him and kiss it hard several times, laughing loudly: "Little girl, you have really rendered great service this time!"

"Hmph, of course, Master, don't underestimate me; I dealt with this trash fire in a split second."

Hearing that, Xiao Ling immediately placed her hands on her slender waist, wearing a proud expression.

Seeing her expression, Lin Feng immediately flicked her jade nose lightly and smiled: "You did well this time; later, after I take care of Xiao Yan that brat, I'll treat you to something delicious."

"Isn't that the guy who previously possessed multiple strange fires, Master? This is what you said—no going back!"

Thinking of those delicious flames, Xiao Ling's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in delight.

Hearing that, Lin Feng smiled and rubbed her little head, promising: "Rest assured, I keep my word."

As soon as his words fell, he waved his palm, using the strange fire to wrap Hun Feng's corpse, then stored it in his spatial ring.

Now that the easily tracked Wu Nie Tun Yan of the Soul Clan has been removed, this corpse, he naturally dares to carry it on his person.

Moreover, with the strange fire acting as a barrier, unless the Soul Heavenly Emperor personally takes action, no one else could hope to track him.

After properly storing Hun Feng's corpse, he immediately told Xiao Ling: "Come on, girl, let's go check out the southern part of the Southern Continent."

While speaking, Lin Feng reached out and lightly slashed, instantly carving a black crack in this firm flame space, then his figure darted and quickly disappeared into it.

"Ah, Master, wait for me."

Seeing him leave, Xiao Ling didn't linger, hurriedly chased after him, and together they vanished into that black crack.

"Damn thing, you ruined my plans!"

However, just as Lin Feng rushed at full speed toward the sealed continent in the south, at the border between the Eastern and Central Regions, inside a wooden hall in a huge mountain valley, Gu Xun'er stood beside the bed, her peerless, nation‑toppling beauty now with fluctuating emotions, her eyes fixed dead‑on on the maid kneeling at her feet, her Dou Qi surging uncontrollably within her.

"Miss Xun'er, spare my life, I really don't know where the alliance leader is now. Miss Xun'er, spare my life!"

Facing the murderous intent radiating from Gu Xun'er, this maid, about forty years old and slightly plump, could only kowtow frantically, begging for mercy.

After all, she dimly realized that before this person she was like an ant that could be pinched to death at any moment; only by begging for mercy could she possibly have a slim chance of survival.

However, if one looks closely, it becomes apparent that this maid is somewhat strange.

Because at this moment she has not a shred of covering on her body, and her upper and lower body are covered in red scratches.

Anyone with clear eyes can see at a glance that this middle‑aged woman has just undergone something.

And this situation is actually the main reason Gu Xun'er is angry.

She is angry because, inside the flame space earlier, with her Dou Qi completely gone, Lin Feng seized her first intimacy.

This time, upon returning, helpless as she was, she devised a plan: she got Xiao Yan drunk with a special fruit wine, and then, while he was asleep, she poured a large cup of that medicine that makes men wildly excited.

But who would have thought that, upon receiving news that she was still alive, the ancient clan sent an envoy who suddenly showed up at her door at this very moment.

And the family's emissary happened to be someone her father had sent; Gu Xun'er, left with no choice, went to meet the clan representative and said she would soon return to see her father.

However, what made her fury flare was that, after she returned, she discovered that a maid had somehow appeared in Xiao Yan's brother's room.

Most importantly, this maid was also being doted on by her Xiao Yan brother; under the effect of the medicine she fed him, this weak‑strength maid inevitably was directly just...

But upon seeing this scene, Gu Xun'er was so angry she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood several zhang away.

Her reason for doing this was nothing other than to take advantage of Xiao Yan brother's muddled state to have relations, then casually smear some blood to pretend she was still a noble maiden.

As a result, all of her schemes were completely taken advantage of by that ordinary‑looking, heavyset middle‑aged maid!

Thinking of this, Gu Xun'er felt an urge to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough." Just as Gu Xun'er was at a loss, the unconscious Xiao Yan suddenly let out a few coughs, then his eyes twitched, showing he might wake up at any moment.

"If there's blame to be had, blame your bad luck!"

Seeing her Xiao Yan brother about to wake, and having thought of no foolproof plan, Gu Xun'er gritted her teeth, then slapped out a palm; the maid who had been kowtowing and begging for mercy beside her hadn't even reacted before she was instantly blown to ashes.

Not even a corpse was left behind.

After killing that maid, Gu Xun'er immediately waved her hand again, opening all the doors and windows in the room, then created a current to clear away the lingering traces of the maid's presence.

"Ah, if I didn't kill you, over time you'd inevitably think I might not be pure. I also don't want to be exposed, so for now I can only say your luck is bad; I hope you don't blame me."

Sensing the maid's aura gradually dissipating in the air, Gu Xun'er spoke with a helpless expression.

After all, she truly feared that Xiao Yan brother would find out that, in the flame space, she had been relentlessly ridden by Lin Feng in various positions for months on end!

At that time, not only... well, in short, those shameful past events, she absolutely cannot allow even a hint that Xiao Yan brother might know of them.

That is, Lin Feng is someone she currently cannot deal with; otherwise, she would spare no expense to make that bastard who dared touch her disappear from this world!

While speaking, Gu Xun'er also hastily messed up her skirt, then casually tugged at her hair a few times, making it a disheveled mess.

"Cough cough."

However, just as she was doing that, the drunken Xiao Yan on the bed coughed a few more times.

Immediately after, his eyes twitched, and soon he slowly lifted his weary eyelids, dazedly scanning his surroundings.

Not long afterward, upon realizing this was his own room, Xiao Yan also let his heart settle.

After recovering a bit, he then propped himself up to sit, using his hand to rub his somewhat aching head.

But as he raised his hand, Xiao Yan quickly discovered that his whole body felt somewhat weak, appearing extremely fatigued.

It felt just like he had just fought a battle with an enemy.

"What's wrong with me?"

Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead with his hand, and for a moment his head felt a bit dazed.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

However, just as he was feeling dazed, a soft and tender female voice suddenly entered his ears.

At the same time, upon hearing this voice he had been thinking of day and night for over a year, Xiao Yan's listless spirit was instantly refreshed, and he then lifted his head to look at the person who had come, exclaiming delightedly: "Xun'er, you"

Mid-sentence, his voice suddenly cut off, and he looked somewhat bewildered at the beautiful woman who had walked to his bedside and sat down.

The woman before him was none other than his familiar good Xun'er, except that at this moment her clothing was disheveled and her hair was messy.

This appearance clearly showed that she had just experienced some rather intense internal exercise.

"Xun'er, what's this?"

Seeing his beloved in this state, Xiao Yan momentarily couldn't react.

However, upon hearing his question, Gu Xun'er's body involuntarily tensed.

But soon, after composing herself, she pouted her tender lips with a wronged expression and said: "Brother Xiao Yan, you still say that earlier you got drunk, I sent you back to your room, and then you suddenly started groping me; no matter what I said, you wouldn't listen. In the end, you even... and now you're asking me what's going on?!"

Speaking to this point, one doesn't know whether this is her innate talent as a woman or an outburst under pressure.

In short, the realism of this performance was such that even Gu Xun'er herself couldn't help but feel amazed at it right now.

"Ah, we've actually become a married couple?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face instantly filled with disbelief, and he stared incredulously at his beloved girlfriend.

I have absolutely no memory of the two of them having consummated their relationship!

However, faced with his question, Gu Xun'er didn't explicitly say anything, but her unwavering stare at Xiao Yan seemed to blame him for doubting her.

And seeing his girlfriend's slightly reproachful gaze, Xiao Yan quickly closed his eyes to carefully recall.

But after thinking it over, Xiao Yan also recalled that, on that bed at the time, there was certainly more than just himself.

Could it be that they were actually doing it back then?

Thinking about it this way, I really did consummate with Xun'er while drunk!

Upon thinking this, Xiao Yan's mind was filled with just one thought: "I've suffered a huge loss; my first time with Xun'er, I actually felt nothing."

"How come, you want to eat and wipe your mouth clean and avoid responsibility? Right now there's still my blood on this blanket."

Seeing him ponder for so long, fearing Xiao Yan might think of some loophole, Gu Xun'er immediately put on an act of anger and spoke coldly.

"Uh... me."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan subconsciously lifted the blanket, and indeed, underneath it there was a conspicuous bloodstain.

But soon, after reacting, he quickly got up to explain: "No, Xun'er, don't be angry; I just woke up from drunkenness, my mind is still a bit fuzzy. But after all this time, don't you know my feelings for you? Even without these things, once my strength increases, the first thing I'll do is go to the Gu clan and propose to Elder Gu."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan also patted his chest, making a thumping sound.

"Alright, I believe you, Brother Xiao Yan, you big rascal, hurry up and check your own condition!"

While speaking, Gu Xun'er also once again disturbed his thoughts, feigning shyness as she turned her body away.

But just as she turned, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and said: "Why, Brother Xiao Yan, you've been training your body since childhood, yet... it's not even one-tenth of that guy's size?"

"Ah?"

Hearing her bewildering words, Xiao Yan immediately looked at his own body in confusion.

But the next second, he quickly mobilized his Dou Qi to condense a set of black clothes, and, feeling a bit embarrassed, he scratched his head and said: "Xun'er, sorry, I didn't pay attention just now. However, now that we're like this, we'll just get more practiced with time."

"Brother Xiao Yan, you've also learned to be bad."

Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's face flushed with embarrassment as she turned back to look at Xiao Yan, speaking in an annoyed tone.

"Hehe, my wife is the best looking, my pot, my pot"

Originally Gu Xun'er was born so beautiful as to be indescribable; now this shy expression makes her even more beautiful, to the point that even Xiao Yan, at this moment, is unclear about everything, only knowing to keep agreeing with her.

"Sigh, you."

And seeing this, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

But soon, as if recalling something, her expression suddenly changed, and she then whispered: "Brother Xiao Yan, do you know what an Imperial Realm Soul is?"

"Imperial Realm Soul?!"

Although his body hadn't yet reacted to her sudden change in words, upon hearing those four characters, Xiao Yan's body involuntarily trembled, and he then instinctively exclaimed in shock.

And immediately after, he reacted and hastily added: "I naturally know the renowned Imperial Realm Soul; currently my soul is stuck at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, unable to move, and as for advancing to the legendary Imperial Realm Soul, it seems hopeless."

However, seeing his state, Gu Xun'er immediately put on a mysterious act and said: "Brother Xiao Yan, not necessarily; during the time you were unconscious, the clan has already sent someone to deliver news to me. Not long ago, the clan discovered a clue to a heavenly treasure that could enable one to ascend to the Imperial Realm Soul. Perhaps it won't be long before we can find it."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yan instantly rejoiced; however, just as he was about to grab Gu Xun'er's shoulder and ask, a flash of disappointment quickly crossed his face, and he said bitterly: "Xun'er, then let me congratulate you in advance; your clan has now discovered a clue to such a supreme treasure, and I believe it will soon be found. And given your talent, there's a good chance that once you obtain that item, you'll break through to the Imperial Realm Soul"

"Brother Xiao Yan, what nonsense are you talking? I'm not an alchemist, so whether I want this or not doesn't matter. When the time comes, I'll apply to personally lead the team forward; if we find it, I'll immediately send you a message, Brother Xiao Yan, you just hurry up and go retrieve it, understand?"

Hearing the disappointment in his tone, Gu Xun'er's heart suddenly ached, and then she gazed solemnly at Xiao Yan opposite her and spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing those words, Xiao Yan thought of the legendary Imperial Realm Soul, and his heart suddenly stirred.

But soon, he shook his head and said: "Xun'er, since your clan hasn't informed me of this, it shows they're preparing it for you or Gu Qingyang to use, I"

"Brother Xiao Yan, what nonsense are you spouting!"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xun'er immediately shouted to interrupt him.

Immediately after, she reached out and firmly grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, gazing into his eyes and said: "We've already come this far; why still distinguish between us? It's been decided like this—later I'll lead the team to search for it, and you just quietly wait for my news."

As she continued, her expression fleetingly flashed with something unnatural, and she then went on: "Of course, this matter may require considerable time, at least several months to start. Just during this period, Brother Xiao Yan, you needn't worry about me."

Although she said it lightly, Xiao Yan still felt uneasy and said: "Xun'er, the rarity of an Imperial Realm Soul even surpasses that of an Eight-Star Dou Saint; this matter, the elders of your clan, I'm afraid"

"Brother Xiao Yan, if you still want to marry me, listen to me. Wait for you? Do you have confidence to reach Emperor-level soul at what age? A few hundred years? Over a thousand years?"

You wouldn't be thinking I should wait a few hundred years, or even a thousand, before marrying, would you? I'm telling you, I can't wait that long, you know!

Seeing the other party still hesitating, Gu Xun'er, helpless, shouted outright.

I

Hearing these heart-wrenching words, Xiao Yan froze on the spot, his lips moving slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

And seeing that he had stopped speaking, Gu Xun'er softened her tone and said gently, 'Xiao Yan brother, this time just listen to me. Moreover, from these few clues, this thing might still have some connection with you; perhaps it is an opportunity exclusive to you.'

As she spoke, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan gave a wry smile and said, 'If that were true, that would be great, but it's impossible.'

Who knows?

Seeing that, Gu Xun'er also shrugged slightly and smiled.

But soon, her expression suddenly changed again, and she solemnly warned: 'Xiao Yan brother, when you encounter Lin Feng now, you must be careful. After I was wounded by the Soul Extermination Birth, I have been hiding in the magma below, personally seeing him absorb the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire; he is now a Four-star Peak Dou Saint. When you meet him, you must not act rashly and ignore the consequences!'

Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? Four-star Peak Dou Saint?

Hearing that, Xiao Yan's expression likewise changed abruptly, recalling that Lin Feng, his mortal enemy, and the matter of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

But soon he thought of Lin Feng actually succeeding in absorbing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, and he frowned, saying, 'Xun'er, the cultivation method I practice with that guy Lin Feng is somewhat special; you probably guessed a bit—that it can absorb strange fire to increase strength. And that Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, I heard he was already a Seven-star Dou Saint strongman. After absorbing this fire, Lin Feng's strength shouldn't be only Four-star Dou Saint, right?'

I also know that back when I was wounded and fell unconscious, upon waking I found that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire had, for some reason, been beaten back to its original form, as pure as a newborn babe, with no aggressive tendency; moreover, the aura of the remnant image of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon had completely vanished from the demonic fire space. Moreover, the Ancient Heaven-Refining Array cast by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was likewise left with nothing but scraps.

Saying this, Gu Xun'er speculated: 'So in this process, could it be that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire and the remnant image of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon mutually annihilated, leaving only a single blossom of the original version of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire that has lost its cultivation? So after Lin Feng absorbed it, he only attained the cultivation of a Four-star Peak Dou Saint?'

Thinking that part of the other party's Four-star Peak Dou Saint cultivation had been stolen from me through that shameful channel, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but be furious to death.

Mm, the remnant image of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon disappeared, and the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire can no longer maintain a human form. Xun'er, your speculation is also quite plausible: if that strange fire was beaten back to its original form by the Saint's remnant image, scattering the battle qi cultivated from the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, then the other party, after absorbing the strange fire, would have increased less than two stars in battle qi cultivation, which I can also understand.

After hearing Gu Xun'er's speculation, Xiao Yan, after some thought, also felt it was quite plausible.

Although the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is immensely strong, most of its power comes from its cultivation; after losing that energy, Lin Feng, upon absorbing it, only increased his battle qi by one star, which is also understandable.

But thinking of how unlucky Lin Feng is, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

After all, in this world, what news could make him happier than his enemy's misfortune?
