Chapter 436

However, after the Ancient Heaven Phoenix swallowed Xiao Yan into its stomach, it wanted to digest Xiao Yan rapidly in order to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, so it began to refine Xiao Yan crazily.

Xiao Yan suddenly felt his own Dou Qi and soul power being consumed rapidly; after all, the light shield of the Three Parts Return to Origin Qi consumed Dou Qi and soul power. Once they were consumed completely, it would break without being attacked.

This discovery made Xiao Yan feel his scalp go numb, because once the light shield was broken, he wouldn't be able to hold on for even a moment before being refined into feces.

Zi Yan in the outside world naturally knew of Xiao Yan's crisis and began to attack the Ancient Heaven Phoenix regardless of her life, wanting to save Xiao Yan. However, the Ancient Heaven Phoenix only wanted to refine Xiao Yan as quickly as possible at this moment, so it dodged Zi Yan's attacks continuously to buy time.

Seeing this situation, Zi Yan also became incomparably anxious, and her attacks became completely disorganized. In this way, the situation became even more severe.

Inside the Ancient Heaven Phoenix, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was the first to be exhausted. Following the exhaustion of Dou Qi, the light shield protecting him shattered directly, and the terrifying energy began to refine Xiao Yan's body directly.

Xiao Yan felt as if he were in a furnace, the flesh and blood on his body being refined continuously. In the blink of an eye, his white bones were exposed.

Although the Yin Yang Dual Flames could repair his body, without the support of Dou Qi, the repair speed was far inferior to the refinement speed.

Facing such a critical situation, Xiao Yan hurriedly stuffed everything in his storage ring that could restore Dou Qi into his mouth, finally managing to condense a defensive shield temporarily. However, the defensive shield only lasted for a while before shattering again.

Seeing no hope of escape, a bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He had really fallen this time; wanting to escape from the hands of a Dou Sheng was truly somewhat difficult.

However, just when Xiao Yan felt he was surely going to die, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit he had swallowed into his stomach, without the protection of the shield, made direct contact with Xiao Yan's gastric juices and was digested instantly, then transformed into energy that filled Xiao Yan's meridians.

Xiao Yan suddenly felt an abnormally violent energy impacting the meridians in his body continuously, like surging sea waves, one wave after another, as if endless.

The violent energy destroyed all the meridians in Xiao Yan's body directly. Xiao Yan's body was like a breached Yellow River, the energy overflowing directly from his body, spraying out from Xiao Yan's mouth and nose. Xiao Yan also lost consciousness at this moment due to the impact of the violent energy.

Because this energy was truly too dense, Xiao Yan couldn't absorb it at all. However, when this energy made contact with the Yin Yang Dual Flames, the Exotic Fire burned up instantly, as if gasoline had been sprinkled on it.

Without Xiao Yan's control, the Yin Yang Dual Flames began to refine the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit automatically. However, this energy was truly too pure, and even the Yin Yang Dual Flames found it difficult to refine.

Of course, it was only under Xiao Yan's control that the refinement efficiency would be slow.

Now that the Exotic Fire was not under Xiao Yan's control, it went full power directly. One must know that when the Exotic Fire erupted with full power, it could even burn down a city, and this was just an ordinary Exotic Fire. Now, the Yin Yang Dual Flames were already the fifth-ranked Exotic Fire on the Exotic Fire Ranking. When erupting with full power, the power could be imagined.

Endless flames surged out directly from Xiao Yan's body, sweeping toward the outside world. The violent flames burned everything they encountered into ashes.

"Li!" The Ancient Heaven Phoenix, which was dodging Zi Yan's attacks while refining Xiao Yan, suddenly let out a miserable wail. Endless flames sprayed out directly from the surface of its body, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a flaming Heaven Phoenix.

The Ancient Heaven Phoenix was burned incomparably painfully by the flames and flew around randomly to reduce its own pain. Everywhere it went, everything turned into a sea of fire, countless buildings collapsed, and then they were burned into nothingness by the flames.

People who were exploring the ancient ruins suddenly felt a sense of dryness and heat in the air, and immediately afterward, they saw a huge flaming giant bird approaching rapidly. The scorching high temperature burned the space directly, causing it to twist. Seeing the nearly thousand-zhang-sized flaming giant bird, these people fled in all directions in fear. However, only a very small number of powerful people escaped with their lives; the rest didn't even have time to let out a miserable wail before being burned into nothingness by the flames.

The flaming Heaven Phoenix flew everywhere in the ruins, turning the entire ruins into a sea of fire. Everywhere there were black and white flames, and the flames refined everything into nothingness.

Those who came to the ruins to explore had no choice but to stop exploring and choose to leave the ancient ruins. After everyone left, the flames spread rapidly, covering the entire Skeleton Mountain Range. For a time, the flames soared into the sky, causing everyone to stay far away again.

Everyone looked at the raging fire burning in the Skeleton Mountain Range from a very far distance, all with lingering fears, because those who ran slowly had all died inside.

Less than one in ten of the people who came to the ancient ruins to hunt for treasure this time remained, and those who survived felt very fortunate.

However, those who calmed down were very puzzled by the suddenly emerging flames. But those alchemists who were very sensitive to Exotic Fires saw that this was caused by an Exotic Fire.

Some people who had participated in the Pill Gathering naturally recognized that this was Xiao Yan's Exotic Fire, the Yin Yang Dual Flames.

If the Exotic Fire were under Xiao Yan's control, it would definitely not be so violent. The current situation could only mean that Xiao Yan was dead, and the Exotic Fire had lost its master and erupted directly.

Some quick-witted people had already hurried back to notify their sects to come and subdue this Exotic Fire; after all, the current level of the Yin Yang Dual Flames was not low, and added to the huge support for alchemy, if one could obtain this kind of Exotic Fire, their strength in Zhongzhou would increase greatly in the future.

Looking at the raging flames burning in the Skeleton Mountain Range, Mu Qingluan frowned tightly. Her strength was low, and she had chosen to stay far away when the flames first started burning.

Now that Xiao Yan's life or death was unknown, she definitely had to return to the Starfall Pavilion to tell her master and Yao Lao about this matter; after all, facing this terrifying Exotic Fire, she had no way at all.

As everyone left one after another, the once bustling ancient ruins soon became sparse, and those who remained were all observing the situation here.

However, everyone understood that leaving was only temporary; after all, the attraction of these Yin Yang Dual Flames was no less than that of the ancient ruins, so more people would definitely come later.

At this moment, the Ancient Heaven Phoenix had already stopped flying and lay on the ground, dying. The essence blood in its body had already been refined by the Exotic Fire, so it became more and more illusory.

Looking closely inside the Ancient Heaven Phoenix, one could still discover traces of Xiao Yan. At this moment, Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged, stark naked, inside the Ancient Heaven Phoenix, with two beauties, one big and one small, standing beside him.

A look of helplessness flashed in Medusa's eyes at this moment, and she said speechlessly, "Why is it that every time I wake up, I am in such a dangerous situation?"

"It's all my fault. Brother Xiao Yan became like this to save me," Zi Yan said, blaming herself on the side.
