Chapter 16

After killing this group of Fire Lizards, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Lin Shan carried out a carpet search for Fire Lizards within the magma.

However, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing later felt it was too dangerous, so he left the magma directly and let Lin Shan search below by himself, killing them and taking the beads once found.

These Fire Lizards could only live in magma; leaving the magma was like a fish leaving water, and they would die immediately.

Therefore, after Lin Shan's Dou Qi was mostly exhausted, he would come up to recover his Dou Qi, and after recovering, he would go back down.

Even though Lin Shan was an advanced Half-Saint, it still took two days to kill the lizards under the magma.

In the end, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing tallied them up: there were over ten Dou Zun-level beads, one Half-Saint-level bead, and the number of beads below the Dou Zong level reached as many as four hundred.

One Half-Saint, over ten Dou Zuns, and nearly a hundred Dou Zongs—this lineup, if placed in the Beast Domain, would likely have few rivals besides the three great magical beast clans.

It was also fortunate that these Fire Lizards were not particularly united, with the largest group numbering only a hundred.

Otherwise, if they had united, even Lin Shan would not have dared to provoke them easily.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was very happy to obtain these beads; these beads contained very rich fire-attribute energy and were particularly violent. Others might not dare to consume them, but he was different—he cultivated the Flame Mantra and had absorbed an Exotic Fire; could the violent energy of these beads be more violent than an Exotic Fire? Refining these beads was simply a piece of cake!

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing couldn't wait to refine them and test the effect.

Thus, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing picked a Dou Ling-level bead from these beads and swallowed it into his stomach.

That's right, the Dou Ling level; that was safer!

As soon as the bead was swallowed, it was like a ball of flame, fiercely burrowing down Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's throat into his body, and then Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's skin began to gradually turn red.

When first swallowed, there was still a burning pain, but as Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing refined it, the fire-attribute energy inside the bead was gradually absorbed by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing until the energy was completely refined.

Refining a Dou Ling-level bead completely was quite fast, taking Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing only five minutes.

Feeling the Dou Qi in his body becoming much fuller, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was particularly excited.

Just refining this one bead was comparable to half a day of his cultivation!

And this was just a Dou Ling-level bead; the effects of the Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, and that Half-Saint-level bead would definitely be even better!

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing estimated that even if he didn't absorb an Exotic Fire, just refining these beads would be enough for him to break through to a five-star Dou Zun.

This made Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing feel for the first time that he had a protagonist's halo.

After dealing with these magma lizards, the two of them arrived in front of a transparent light circle beneath the magma.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Lin Shan had discovered this light circle while searching for Fire Lizards; there was a space inside the light circle.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing guessed that this should be the location of the soul of the Heavenly Flame Venerable, Yao Tianhuo.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing would not forget that this Yao Tianhuo also had a juvenile Fallen Heart Flame.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing wanted to leave the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame in this Jia Nan Academy.

One reason was that the Fallen Heart Flame was still in its infancy, so even if he absorbed it, it wouldn't be much of an improvement for him.

Another reason was that if he took both Fallen Heart Flames away, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was afraid Mang Qianchi would trace it back to him.

Although the Half-Saint Mang Qianchi's status in the Thunder Clan was not high and he couldn't do anything to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, who had a six-star Dou Saint grandfather, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing didn't want to attract the attention of those ancient Dou Di clans so early; low-key development was the way to go!

Entering the light circle with Lin Shan, this was a fairly spacious space; in the center floated a skeleton, and attached to the skeleton was a formless flame.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing could feel that the energy contained in this flame was much weaker than that of the mature Fallen Heart Flame.

Exotic Fires are not all unique; only the top three Exotic Fires on the ranking are unique existences in the Dou Qi Continent. Other Exotic Fires, as long as there is enough heaven and earth energy, in the right environment, and after the accumulation of long years, can give birth to such heaven and earth wonders.

For example, the first Exotic Fire Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing subdued, the Green Lotus Core Flame—as long as the root system of the lotus was not damaged, it would again give birth to another identical Exotic Fire, though this gestation time would take thousands of years.

The juvenile Fallen Heart Flame before his eyes was formed in this way, only it was still in its infancy.

The previous owner of the Fallen Heart Flame above was the Heavenly Flame Venerable.

When the Heavenly Flame Venerable traveled here, he accidentally discovered this second Fallen Heart Flame and wanted to claim it for himself.

But after two Exotic Fires were fused into his body, not only did they fail to fuse perfectly, but they repelled each other like enemies, causing Yao Tianhuo to be severely injured. Later, he was attacked by Fire Lizards, which finally led to the Heavenly Flame Venerable's fall, with only a sliver of his soul remaining in this space.

Lin Shan noticed something strange about the skeleton at a glance and shouted toward the skeleton.

"Since I've arrived, why not show yourself? Are you trying to ambush us?"

The Heavenly Flame Venerable was startled by Lin Shan's shout; knowing he couldn't escape Lin Shan's detection and fearing Lin Shan would attack him directly, he hurriedly appeared.

Suddenly, the skeleton emitted a blinding white light, which slowly squirmed and finally turned into a phantom old man dressed in white robes with white hair and beard.

Seeing the Heavenly Flame Venerable appear, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing immediately threatened him.

"This is a robbery! Hand over everything you have on you."

"If you don't hand it over, I'll kill you and find it myself."

"And before I kill you, I'll use an Exotic Fire to slowly burn your soul...?"

Yao Tianhuo shivered as he listened to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

He had finally waited for someone to come, but he hadn't expected the person waiting for him to be a living Yama!

"Don't kill me, I'll hand it over... I'll hand it over."

Although his current state couldn't be maintained for much longer, who would want to die if they could live?

Thus, the Heavenly Flame Venerable handed the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame and a snow-white storage ring to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

After Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing got this storage ring, he probed it with his soul power and discovered a pale white scroll, on which was written "Five Wheels of Li Fire."

Putting away the Fallen Heart Flame and the storage ring, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing nodded with satisfaction and left this space with Lin Shan.

The Heavenly Flame Venerable breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two did not kill him.

After leaving that space, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing pointed at the transparent light circle and spoke.

"Lin Shan, use your full strength to blast that space to pieces!"

This Heavenly Flame Venerable survived by attaching his soul to the Exotic Fire; after so many years, his soul could not last much longer, and now that he had lost the Exotic Fire, he would probably dissipate completely in less than a year.

Since that was the case, it was better to let Lin Shan send him on his way to avoid any accidents that might lead this Heavenly Flame Venerable to help Xiao Yan again.

"Very well, Young Master!"

Although Lin Shan was astonished by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's order, he still followed it, condensed his Dou Qi with all his might, and smashed it fiercely toward the transparent light circle.

The transparent light circle couldn't block Lin Shan's attack at all and exploded directly the moment it made contact.

Seeing the light circle explode, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Yep, it's settled!
