Chapter 1444

The frenzy roared, and at last was wholly swallowed into the fire cauldron.

And the chaotic energy that entered the fire cauldron would be taken by its extreme recklessness, while Xiao Ling carefully guides the soul power to fuse these highly refined energies into the pill.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Feng was extremely cautious, fearing

"Wait, we will someday meet again."

Thinking of the mark he left in that Nine Abyss Golden Ancestor Fire, the gold‑clothed man's face showed a grim smile.

This time, he truly harbored a lethal intent toward Lin Feng and Yun Yun.

Letting the other party run out on their own is one thing,

but a single slip would result in the cauldron exploding and the pill being ruined.

Not even an Anomalous Fire was left for him.

Thus, even though he has escaped, he still cannot use Anomalous Fire to refine himself to perfection.

At the same time, because of that damned Avian Demonic Beast's obstruction,

the couple now ran too far, preventing him from tearing space and then following the mark he left in the Nine Abyss Golden Ancestor Fire to chase them.

Immediately, he flicked his sleeve with force and snorted coldly, "It took great effort to escape; now I have a chance to flee this place."

As soon as the words fell, his figure vanished instantly from the sky, swooping toward a great hall of the inner palace.

If Lin Feng and Yun Yun were present, they would be heart‑broken to death.

Above the great hall the gold‑clothed man entered, there stood a plaque engraved with the three characters "Inner Core Hall."

"Buzz"

Meanwhile, on the other side, atop a sky‑piercing peak, a pitch‑black vortex abruptly formed.

Streams of spatial energy immediately radiated from within.

"Whoosh"

Soon after, two figures fled in a panic from that black vortex.

"Bang!"

However, just as the two escaped, the black spatial tunnel violently burst open.

Then spatial force raged unchecked, tearing everything inside.

When questioned, she sensed the restless bloodline within her, and somehow a seductive red Anomalous Fire had already permeated the area.

Yet within this sea of fire, Lin Feng sustained no injury at all.

On the contrary, as time passed, the aura emanating from him grew increasingly refined.

Even faintly, a trend of breakthrough reappeared.

Of course, because of the Red Lotus Karma Fire Lin Feng encountered.

For example, at the shallowest part of the volcano, Xin Lan, using the terrifyingly abundant fire‑element energy within the Tianmu Shanmai, leapt straight to the Dou Zun Realm.

However, thereafter Xin Lan did not leave; instead, under the protection of the Imperial Spirit Flame and the Blue‑Heart Imperial Flame she nurtured, she continued to descend thousands of meters.

In the following time, she frantically absorbed every fire‑element energy she could here.

After all, Lin Feng had told her that once the Red Lotus Karma Fire's suppression faded, the energy here would slowly dissipate.

Therefore, she naturally needed to absorb as much as possible before the energy vanished.

After all, these energies must be absorbed; they serve the soul.

Moreover, Xin Lan and the other women also practiced the Heavenly Step Soul Cultivation Technique that Lin Feng gave them.

That soul power can't help but surge rapidly.

Of course, aside from Xin Lan, Yun Yun, who is lower down, also reaped great gains.

During this period, she advanced from Four‑Star Dou Zun to Five‑Star.

Even the soul power, using the Heavenly Step Soul Cultivation Technique, the two successfully transitioned from First‑turn Dou Zun to the current Second‑turn pinnacle.

Now, they are almost about to complete the third compression of Dou Qi within their bodies.

At most, within half a month they can successfully breakthrough to Third‑turn.

As for the soul power, since the two women had already reached

And while Lin Feng and his spouse were desperately pushing to strengthen themselves, Xiao Yan, far away in Tian Mu, was also nearing the time to depart.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan was giving his junior one final instruction.

"Xiao Yan, you have now successfully inherited the Xiao clan's final Great Void Ancient Dragon Clan's spatial talent and dracification. With these, you alone can counter the opponent's steadfast demeanor."

Because he knows his strength is temporary; what will become of the Xiao clan later, no one can say.

Only by breaking through to Dou Emperor can he reactivate the Dou Emperor bloodline.

In this way, the Xiao clan's collective Dou Qi strength can be restored.

When that time comes, the Xiao clan will again enjoy tens of thousands of years of peaceful development.

After Xiao Xuan finished, he immediately added, "Also, you must be extra cautious of the Soul Clan; in my lifetime I dealt with them often, this race has always been mysterious and bizarre. Even back then, the Soul Clan was the strangest opponent I ever met!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Xuan's face instantly showed deep puzzlement, older than our Xiao clan's history by far, yet the bloodline never seemed to wither. This I have never been able to comprehend.

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yan and the nearby Ancient Clan members' expressions shifted slightly.

Especially the younger generation of the Ancient Clan, who know all too well the strength of their own clan.

In the past millennium, the Ancient Clan's clashes with the Soul Clan have been mostly victories.

Therefore, when Xiao Xuan mentioned that the Soul Clan might surpass them, the Soul Clan's mystery…

"Of course, the same applies when facing the Thunder Clan. After all, you just killed two promising young members; they will surely come back for revenge."

Recalling that Xiao Yan ventured into the deep starry void, retrieved the Three‑Thousand Yan Flame Fire, and killed the young prodigies of the Thunder and Soul Clans, Xiao Xuan immediately warned Xiao Yan again.

The latter, upon hearing this, promptly nodded and opened his mouth to ask.

Upon hearing it, the huge eyes below also filled with boundless delight and excitement.

He has worried about his child's safety for years, fearing that the unborn little one might meet misfortune.

But fortunately, today he finally saw his child.

After a long silence, as Lin Feng and the others, who had just recovered from Zhu Kun's massive form, were about to speak, the giant dragon below slowly lifted its thousands‑feet‑long beastly head and exclaimed, "Child, I am your father!"

Hearing this, Zi Yan's face immediately drooped slightly, revealing no expression.

After a long while, she finally whispered, "I have no father; if I did,

Hearing this, Lin Feng let out a soft sigh; after all, when Zi Yan was a child she lived alone in the deep forests around Heijiaoyu, and though she was born with extraordinary talent, facing adult demonic beasts was always hard for her.

Later, had she not mistakenly eaten unripe Transforming Herb and been taken back to the inner courtyard by Su Qian, who knows if this girl would have survived to now.

However, after being taken to Canaan Academy, Su Qian, who had to manage the massive academy and worry about the Falling Heart Flame, simply had no time to accompany Zi Yan.

Thus most of the time the girl remained utterly alone, until she met him, when her life began to change gradually.

Thinking back, that gluttonous and naive little girl also harbored many little‑known sorrows in her heart.

"This child, I'm not trying to abandon you; I just can't help it!"

Hearing Zi Yan's words, the beast suddenly gave a slight tug.

"Cough cough"

But immediately after, he stepped forward and gave two light coughs.

"Swish!"

The giant beast below, hearing the commotion, swiftly turned its massive head, its huge eyes fixed on Lin Feng.

As for the latter, after drawing the beast's attention, he pretended ignorance and said, "Senior,

It was indeed possible that those three corpses were needed, so he wrapped them in Falling Heart Flame to prevent the souls inside the bones from escaping.

Immediately, the bodies and souls of the Three Great Dragon Kings were tossed by Lin Feng into a containment ring for safekeeping.

As for the ring of the Three Great Dragon Kings, Lin Feng didn't take it; he gave it to Zi Yan's girl.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Three Great Dragon Kings fall, the members of the Gu, Yan, and Yao clans could not possibly fall so quickly themselves.

And the opponent's Four-Star Dou Saint would now be dragged by the Three Great Dragon Kings.

After all, those three, though suppressed by the strange violet‑gold seal in the sky, were still veteran late‑stage Three-Star Dou Saints.

Especially the Northern Dragon King, who had already half‑stepped into Four-Star Dou Saint rank.

Even if they were otherwise powerless, their joint effort could still hold that purple‑haired woman for a while.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiu Yuan's eyes flashed with resentment at those detestable people.

Moreover, had he not feared that the Nine‑Color Fire Lotus lacked the power to kill the immortal, already at Five-Star Dou Saint rank and protected by clan sigils, he would have blown that old thing to pieces himself.

"Hmph, empty boasting; don't think that killing those three who were suppressed to roughly Three‑Star lower‑level trash lets you defeat me!"

Hearing the former's mockery, the already aggressive Gu Qiu Yuan was instantly enraged and shouted on the spot.

"Hmph, then let's see whose methods truly surpass the other."

Hearing this, Lin Feng showed no courtesy, replying coldly,

To be honest, he didn't want to provoke the Gu, Yan,

Otherwise, those Dou Emperor families would think they had scared him and would keep causing trouble daily.

Meanwhile, the people of East Dragon Island glared at the three great families, feeling both shocked and angry.

After all, if Lin Feng hadn't earlier gone to warn them and suggested they act immediately to slay the Three Great Dragon Kings, they wouldn't have summoned so many allies.

This time, East Dragon Island might truly vanish forever into the obscure currents of history!

Thinking of this, everyone simultaneously wanted to give the opponent a lesson.

After scanning the area, Lin Feng quickly assigned tasks, saying to the Great Elder of East Dragon Island, "Great Elder, you should help Ying'er and Danchen deal with that Yan clan's Three‑Star Dou Saint; after all, they are only One‑Star Peak Dou Saints, and I worry they might encounter trouble."

"Fine."

Hearing this, the Great Elder of East Dragon Island hesitated not at all and agreed outright.

Seeing this, Lin Feng turned to Qinglin and Xiao Yixian, saying, "As for you two, continue to deal with that Yan clan's Four‑Star Dou Saint. And Senior Hao Yan should do the same; don't let

Speaking of that, Lin Feng immediately turned his head toward Hao Yan beside him.

"Fine." Using this method, even if the pill is eventually upgraded to the level of a Xuan Dan, it still cannot compare to a genuine Nine‑Grade Xuan Dan, because the quality of the ingredients for a Nine‑Grade treasure pill is far inferior to that of a proper Xuan Dan.

From afar, Yun Yun saw the scene, and after a brief moment of thought, guessed Lin Feng's intention.

After all, now, with the support of the many classics at home, her insight has changed dramatically, and she no longer remains as ignorant as before.

But seeing such terrifying alchemy momentum, Yun Yun couldn't help but silently

Generally speaking, when an alchemist refines pills, they will try as much as possible to prevent heavenly and earthly energy from entering the pill cauldron, because these mottled, unrefined energies will disrupt the medicinal property balance among the various herbs; if those who track discover your pill-refining location and, for various reasons, take action against you, you, whose strength has been greatly diminished, will suffer a great loss.

"But however, this demonic fire space energy is several times denser than normal external regions, and since the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has been treated, there's no need to worry about external interference in the heavenly‑earthly energy, so the husband's attempt to upgrade the pill here might still succeed."

Yun Yun watched the massive currents of energy within the demonic fire space being drawn into the fire cauldron before her husband, a hint of anticipation flashing on her pretty face.

She also wanted to know whether her husband this time could finally forge a Nine‑Grade Xuan Dan.

"Hmph, that scoundrel still dreams of elevating that Nine‑Grade treasure pill to Xuan Dan realm; when I see it, his Nine‑Grade pill's properties will be ruined, and he'll end up with nothing!"

Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er, seeing this, clenched her teeth in jealousy.

She saw Xiao Yan's brother work so hard, yet still struggled to even craft a Nine‑Grade treasure pill due to lack of ingredients.

But Lin Feng, though of humble origin, could single‑handedly forge two treasure pills without a single failure, making Gu Xun'er desperate to snatch all his ingredients for Xiao Yan's brother.

"If you keep whining, I'll cut off those two little things of yours with a sword."

Meanwhile, Yun Yun, seeing Gu Xun'er mock her own man, glared coldly at the vicious woman beside her.

Since she revived a little over a month ago, she has been both soft and hard in making Yun Yun let go of herself.

Yet this shameless woman, somehow having learned all sorts of tricks to deal with women, always forces her to submit with shameful resentment.

Those various "ruthless" torments made her feel life was worse than death (End of chapter).
