Chapter 184: Black Flame Change

Earth Rank!!!

Those two simple words, once spoken, caused even Jia Xingtian, a Dou Huang Peak, to have his face covered in shock and disbelief. Although Arcane-Rank High-Level and Earth Rank were separated by only a single tier, the gap between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Most Mystic Rank Dou Ji relied on the user's own strength to unleash their power, but an Earth Rank Dou Ji could already borrow Heavenly Energy to achieve a destructive force on the level of annihilation. One person, one heaven and earth — the two were almost incomparable!

The current Jia Ma Royal Family's ability to wipe out the previous Imperial Family relied not only on the Sea Serpent Demon Beast and Jia Xingtian's dual Dou Huangs, but also on an Earth Rank Dou Ji obtained by chance, which allowed them to completely overthrow the regime.

Moreover, Earth Rank Dou Ji were not only rare, but also extremely difficult to cultivate. Even with Yun Yun personally guiding Nalan Yanran, mastering the prerequisite sword move Setting Sun Radiance had cost her considerable hardship.

Now Xiao Yan had actually also learned an Earth Rank Dou Ji — this was truly astonishing!

A sky-filling, dazzling golden light, carrying a piercingly sharp sonic boom, tore through space like lightning, shooting straight toward Xiao Yan in the distance.

Wherever the sun-like powerful sword Qi passed, the giant rocks across the entire arena violently shattered!

Facing Nalan Yanran's overwhelming offensive, Xiao Yan merely smiled faintly. Any attack would have to dissipate before Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!

The Xuan Zhong Ruler in his hand was raised high above his head, the veins on his arms fully exposed, writhing like little snakes!

Staring at the heavy ruler Xiao Yan had raised high, every spectator in the arena held their breath at this moment, their faces flushing red with excitement, all wanting to know what Xiao Yan's Earth Rank Dou Ji actually looked like!

Under the intense gaze of countless eyes, the next moment, Xiao Yan's arm trembled, and the Xuan Zhong Ruler in his hand slammed down with a thunderous crash!

A massive fiery-red ruler beam shot out. Across the already ruined Guang Chang, a half-meter-wide crack rapidly spread under countless horrified gazes!

Boom!! Amid the golden and dark-red light reflected in countless pupils, two terrifying attacks collided with a thunderous crash, like meteorites smashing into each other.

—the collision erupted with a deafening boom!

Dazzling intense light poured down from the horizon. As Heavenly Energy ran wild, the colliding energy cluster let out a thunderclap-like explosion, carrying an extremely terrifying storm that swept out from midair. Wherever the storm passed, the earth shattered, and the entire Guang Chang looked as if it had been torn up.

"Reinforce the defensive barrier!" Watching the Yun Lan Sect Disciples turn pale with fright from the Energy Shockwave, Yun Leng hurriedly shouted.

"Yes!" Hearing Yun Leng's shout, the nearly thousand Yun Lan Sect Disciples present immediately responded in unison. Their neat and orderly shouts pierced straight through the clouds, and unexpectedly

orderly shouts shot straight into the clouds, and actually suppressed the thunderous roar in the Sky for a brief moment.

The terrifying Energy Shockwave was blocked within the Guang Chang. Thick smoke rose everywhere across the entire Guang Chang, making it completely impossible to see the situation inside, or to know who had won or lost.

"A draw?"

"I don't know, but Nalan Yanran possesses that inexplicable recovery ability, and Xiao Yan's physique is like a magical beast's. It's really hard to say who wins or loses."

The first to notice something unusual was Gu He, whose Soul Force was the strongest.

"No! It's not over yet!"

Following Gu He's low voice, the thick smoke in the Guang Chang suddenly underwent a strange change. A tornado suddenly whipped up in the center of the arena! At the center of the tornado, Nalan Yanran's body emitted specks of white light. At this moment, Nalan Yanran's Spiritual Pressure suddenly began to skyrocket!

From Eight-Star Essence Refining to Nine-Star, and finally breaking through to Dou Ling!

"A Secret Technique! When did Yanran learn such a Secret Technique!" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. She didn't even know Yun Lan Sect had such a Secret Technique! She had also entered the Life and Death Gate before, but she hadn't obtained such a Secret Technique either!

Back then, Yun Yun also wouldn't use Meteor Kill against the Amethyst Winged Lion King until the very end, because once it was used, the Dou Qi in her body would enter a vacuum period, leaving her with nothing to continue with.

"Look at the Sky! Xiao Yan is also unharmed!!"

At this moment, the dust in the plaza had also been swept away by Nalan Yanran's tornado, revealing Xiao Yan in midair. Xiao Yan had already released the beast transformation form, returning to his original appearance. His aura had weakened considerably.

Even with an Earth Rank Cultivation Method and Heavenly Flame supporting him, executing an Earth Rank Dou Ji was still difficult to withstand.

"Xiao Yan! This time, you lose!"

As gusts of wild wind gathered around her, the silver dragon in the middle of the Black Sword in Nalan Yanran's hand grew increasingly dazzling, until at last it was almost blindingly white.

"This is Wind's Extreme, Meteor Kill!! Yanran has gone mad! She's forcibly using an Earth Rank Dou Ji twice!!" Beside her, Nalan Jie's expression changed drastically. Earth Rank Dou Ji were trump cards — not only was their power immense, but their consumption was also extremely great.

At a certain moment, the air around Nalan Yanran instantly froze. Gripping the Black Sword, she thrust it through the air toward Xiao Yan in a sudden sword pierce. With a sharp cry, white light flashed violently, and the silver dragon on the Black Sword seemed to awaken, as a long silver dragon shot out violently.

The light moved at a terrifyingly swift speed. Wherever it passed, space trembled, and a jet-black trail was left across the azure Sky, appearing extremely eye-catching.

"Wind's Extreme, Meteor Kill!" Nalan Yanran seemed not to have heard her father's shout at all. Her eyes locked onto the blurry black shadow in the Sky, and she said in a low voice.

And the moment Wind's Extreme was unleashed, the faces of Jia Xingtian and the others outside the distant arena all changed slightly at almost the same time. It seemed they had long been aware of the terror of this Dou Technique — perhaps they had even experienced it personally.

Only Xiao Yan's expression remained calm.

"That may not be the case."

Just at this moment, everyone noticed that at some unknown time, a black cat had actually been standing on Xiao Yan's shoulder!

"I have a Secret Technique too — Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes, Black Flame Change!"

With a light laugh, from the Na Ling at the center of the Qi vortex within Xiao Yan's body, wisps of black flame surged out like a volcano, finally following a mysterious route and circulating at high speed within his body.

As the Swallowing Flame rotated strangely, suddenly, Xiao Yan felt a surge of majestic energy filled with violent factors rapidly seep out from all over his body during the flame's circulation!

A majestic aura no weaker than a Dou Ling's suddenly surged out from within Xiao Yan's body.

It's just a Secret Technique — who doesn't know one or two!

At this moment, Mao Wu on his shoulder had all its fur standing on end, and endless black flames appeared behind Xiao Yan like a Sea of Fire.

Facing the silver dragon pouncing toward him, Xiao Yan smiled and tightened his grip on the Xuan Zhong Ruler in his hand.

At this moment, the Xuan Zhong Ruler did not turn red, but grew increasingly jet-black — so black that even light could not illuminate it.

"Flame Splitting Wave Ruler — Void Wave!"

It sounds slow when described, but in reality all of this happened almost simultaneously.

"This kid has too many trump cards!" Hai Bodong's eyes were wide. You actually have a Secret Technique too — and it can actually raise you from Seven-Star Essence Refining to Dou Ling!! That's too exaggerated — an entire major tier!

Boom!!! The black flame actually transformed into a black dragon, descending from the sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The two long dragons collided with bared fangs.

An explosive shockwave several times more powerful than before erupted in midair.

"It's over, we can't block it this time!" The thousand Yun Lan Sect Disciples setting up the protective Barrier below were deathly pale. They couldn't figure it out — wasn't it said at the start that this was a Battle between two Essence Refining?

How did their attacks reach the full-power attack of a Low-Level Dou Wang? And they both used Earth Rank Dou Ji? Is this scientific?!
