284. Chapter 284: Devouring the Profound Pill, Seven-Star Dou Saint!

"Ying ying!"

A childish yet sharp cry suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the Shennong Mountain Range.

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Xiao Ying's lava-like eyes, as if it had discovered something novel.

It reached out its small, exquisite palms and gave a light grab toward the void in front of it. In an instant, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, crazily converging toward the center of Xiao Ying's palms.

At first, it was only wisps of faint energy threads, but soon they converged into a huge vortex visible to the naked eye.

The vortex spun faster and faster, its diameter constantly expanding, eventually covering a range of several hundred zhang.

The surrounding trees swayed violently under this powerful suction, branches and leaves flying everywhere.

Some smaller trees that had not lived long were even pulled up by the roots and swept into that terrifying vortex.

Gu Fei and the others stood in the distance, watching this scene in surprise; even with their cultivation, they could not help but be shocked by the terrifying suction power displayed by Xiao Ying.

In just a short moment, the huge energy vortex condensed into a colorful energy crystal block.

The surface of the crystal block flashed with brilliant light, as if it contained endless energy.

Xiao Ying swallowed the energy crystal block in one gulp without hesitation.

As Xiao Ying swallowed, Gu Fei clearly felt streams of pure energy continuously pouring into his own body.

This feeling was just like someone continuously injecting energy into his body, making him feel incomparably comfortable.

"Xiao Ying, well done!"

Gu Fei could not help but praise it.

Xiao Yixian and Cai'er looked at each other, surprise flashing in their beautiful eyes.

"Could this be the legendary devouring power of the Void Swallowing Flame?"

Xiao Yixian could not help but ask, her voice carrying a trace of trembling.

"That's right."

"Xiao Ying not only successfully digested that wisp of the Void Swallowing Flame's Child Fire, but it also perfectly inherited its terrifying devouring power."

Gu Fei nodded in confirmation, excitement flashing in his eyes.

"This is truly a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Cai'er exclaimed, her beautiful eyes full of envy.

As a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, she knew the terror of the devouring power better than anyone.

If this power could be perfectly controlled, it would undoubtedly take Xiao Ying's strength to the next level.

"However."

"If this devouring power were to fall into the hands of others, I fear it would cause no small amount of trouble."

Gu Fei changed the subject, his brows slightly furrowed.

"How so?"

Xiao Yixian asked curiously.

"Although this power is strong, it is also extremely dangerous."

"If an ordinary person were to master this power, they would very likely be backlashed; not only would their own Dou Qi be devoured, but even their life force would be eaten away completely."

Gu Fei explained.

"Moreover, the energy absorbed through the devouring power is extremely impure and cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body at all."

Hearing Gu Fei's explanation, Xiao Yixian and Cai'er could not help but gasp.

Only now did they realize that behind this seemingly powerful strength, such a terrifying hidden danger was concealed.

"However."

"Xiao Ying is different. It is born with the ability to purify Exotic Fire, so it can perfectly solve this problem."

Gu Fei changed the subject, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Once these words were spoken, Xiao Yixian and Cai'er both revealed expressions of sudden realization.

"Since that's the case, shouldn't we go back?"

"After all, you still have a Nine-Rank Profound Pill waiting to be consumed."

Cai'er suggested. "You're right."

"We've visited the places we should have visited, and it can be considered that we've seen the scenery of the entire Shennong Mountain Range."

"It seems... it's time to do what needs to be done."

Gu Fei nodded, and soon the group returned to the Ancient Realm.

At this moment, Gu Fei was preparing to consume the Nine-Rank Profound Pill! This Pill is different from ordinary pills. As a master alchemist, he knew the terrifying medicinal power of the Nine-Rank Profound Pill well. If consumed rashly, even a powerhouse of his level would likely risk being blown apart.

Therefore, Gu Fei spent a great deal of time meticulously preparing dozens of medicinal solutions to harmonize the violent medicinal properties of the Profound Pill.

Finally, after ten days of careful preparation, Gu Fei felt the time was ripe.

Gu Fei went directly into the secret chamber; one could see that the surroundings of this chamber were covered with various strange runes! These runes flashed with mysterious light, instantly forming a powerful barrier. This barrier seemed capable of isolating all interference from the outside world!!! That's right!

At this moment, absolutely no one must be allowed to disturb him! Xiao Yixian and Cai'er stood outside the secret chamber, looking at the door with nervous expressions. "Rest assured."

"With Xiao Ying there, plus the medicinal solutions my husband meticulously prepared, there shouldn't be any problems."

Cai'er, who was to the side, comforted her.

At this moment, Gu Fei took a deep breath and placed the crystal-clear Nine-Rank Profound Pill into his mouth.

In an instant, an indescribable, terrifying energy erupted within Gu Fei's body.

That energy was like a monstrous wave, raging and roaring inside him, as if it wanted to tear his body apart.

Gu Fei's expression changed abruptly, and his body trembled violently; even though he had been mentally prepared, he had not expected the medicinal power of the Nine-Rank Profound Pill to be so terrifying.

Just at this moment, Xiao Ying's petite figure suddenly appeared beside Gu Fei. It formed seals with its hands, and mysterious runes flew out from its body, enveloping Gu Fei within them.

With Xiao Ying's help, that violent energy gradually calmed down.

Gu Fei only felt streams of gentle and pure energy continuously surging into his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.

Time passed minute by minute, and Gu Fei's aura was also constantly climbing.

From Six-Star Late-Stage, it soared all the way to Seven-Star Early Stage, then Seven-Star Mid-Stage.

The entire process lasted for a full ten days.

When Gu Fei opened his eyes, a terrifying pressure instantly erupted from within his body.

The strength of that pressure was such that everyone in the entire Ancient Realm clearly sensed it.

"Is... is this real? This is... the aura of a Seven-Star Dou Saint!"

"Heavens, the Young Clan Leader has actually broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Saint realm!"

"It's too incredible, the Young Clan Leader's talent is simply heaven-defying!"

Within the Ancient Realm, countless experts sensed this aura and exclaimed in shock. The entire Ancient Clan widened their eyes, their faces filled with expressions of disbelief. One must know, a Seven-Star Dou Saint is an extremely terrifying realm.

Even looking across the entire Ancient Clan, those who can reach this level are but a mere few.

Yet Gu Fei, at such a young age, has reached this realm; such talent is simply breathtaking.

"Seven-Star Dou Saint..."

"Nowadays, the only ones in the clan who can surpass the Young Clan Leader are likely only the Clan Leader and the Black Annihilation King!"

Elder Gu Xiong muttered to himself, tears of excitement shimmering in his eyes.

The other Elders nodded one after another upon hearing this. "Indeed!"

"With such a peerless genius in our Ancient Clan, I expect that in the future, the entire continent will witness the glory of our Ancient Clan!"

At this moment, the Elders of the Ancient Clan were all filled with excitement. (End of chapter)
