Chapter 104: Breakthrough
The strange fire is very strong. Even the last-ranked strange fire is powerful enough to easily seriously injure a Douhuang strongman. This can be seen from the performance of Queen Medusa in the original novel. Even with a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, the opponent was still seriously injured by the Blue Lotus Earth Fire, and even her own scales were lost here. She didn't even have time to take away the blue lotus platform and the earth fire lotus seeds in it.

However, this is also related to Queen Medusa's knowledge. When it comes to understanding the strange fire, how can the snake people compare to the alchemists.

Especially after obtaining the Black Demon Cauldron from Yao Lao, Yao Yan is now not afraid of the outbreak of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire at all.

After all, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire is just a strange fire that has just condensed and formed. It has no intelligence and is completely different from the Fallen Heart Flame and other strange fires that have the spirit of strange fire. As long as its connection with the outside world is cut off and it cannot be replenished with external fire energy, it will soon be exhausted.

Just as Yao Yan guessed, after consuming several furnaces of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire in the Black Demon Cauldron finally calmed down and turned into a cluster of green flames, floating quietly in the center of the cauldron. It was surrounded by ice crystals transformed from the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and the two formed a relatively balanced state.

Like a green ice crystal lantern.

"It's done!"

Yao Yan looked at the calming Qinglian Earth Core Fire, a smile appeared on his lips, and he spoke in a low voice.

Cai Lin looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in the medicine cauldron. There was a hint of fear in the depths of her cold and beautiful purple eyes. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Is this the strange fire? Such a terrifying destructive force. If it weren't for this medicine cauldron that completely blocked the fire energy it released, you and I would be seriously injured if we didn't die!"

Just now, when Yao Yan used the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to grab the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the sea of ​​fire released by the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was truly terrifying. At that moment, she felt the breath of death and her back went cold.

Yao Yan was now in a much more relaxed mood. After hearing Cai Lin's words, he smiled and said, "If I hadn't been fully prepared, how could I have come to provoke a strange object like the strange fire that is full of destructive power?"

Should we say that he is worthy of being a descendant of a big family in Zhongzhou?
There is even a medicine cauldron that can isolate the power of strange fire.

Cai Lin sighed inwardly, and a complex look flashed across her eyes. She then looked at Yao Yan and asked, "Are you planning to retreat here next?"

This place is nearly ten thousand meters deep into the magma. The temperature and pressure around it are extremely terrifying. Even the Douhuang strongmen dare not stay here for long. For example, a Douhuang like Hai Bodong who cultivates ice-attributed Dou Qi, if he stays here for too long and his Dou Qi is exhausted, he will die without knowing how he died.

"For fire attribute practitioners, this place is definitely a holy place for cultivation. Of course, the prerequisite is that the body can withstand the pressure from all around and the power of earth fire contained in the lotus platform... But these are not dangerous to me."

Yao Yan smiled confidently and said something softly, then he handed Ling'er in his arms to Cai Lin beside him. Then the purple cloud wings behind him trembled slightly, and the whole person floated above the lotus platform.

Almost the moment he approached.

A light blue flame suddenly erupted from the green lotus.

Although it was not as destructive as the previous Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, the power contained in this light blue flame was also quite overbearing. It burned Yao Yan's clothes almost instantly. Even his skin, which was a rich bronze color, became a little darker under the smoke of the flame, as if he could not withstand it.

As expected, it is the Green Lotus that gave birth to the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. It is really powerful... Yao Yan felt the destructive power contained in the flames. His whole body was stinging and his ruthlessness was aroused. If he couldn't even withstand the burning of this kind of flame, how could he refine the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire with even more terrifying power?

He gritted his teeth, ignored the roast chicken, and sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.

Suddenly.

A large amount of green flames emerged from the Green Lotus. These earth fires that had condensed over thousands of years completely enveloped Yao Yan. As the flames rose, the temperature around him also began to soar. Without the Green Lotus's earth core fire, Yao Yan now seemed to have become a substitute. All the fire energy absorbed by the Green Lotus's roots was poured into Yao Yan's body.

Cai Lin did not blush at Yao Yan's naked body. Her red lips slightly opened at this moment, shocked by Yao Yan's decisiveness, because the training method chosen by Yao Yan was too cruel and too crazy. Once the body could not bear it, it would really be burned into nothingness in an instant by these light blue flames with the power of strange fire.

But after a moment, she understood Yao Yan's intention.

If the opponent can survive and resist the burning of the light blue earth core fire, then it will be easier for him to refine the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire later. This is a process from easy to difficult, although this simplest first step is enough to discourage most people.

"It's a bit like a moth to a flame..."

Cai Lin's cold purple eyes flickered slightly as she stared at Yao Yan who was wrapped in light blue flames, muttering to herself in her heart.

At this moment, Yao Yan's bronze skin had completely turned into a charred black color, with only specks of silver light still flickering, stubbornly emerging in the flames. However, the vitality contained in his body did not decrease but increased. The huge vitality constantly repaired the damaged flesh, making him gradually accustomed to the pain of burning his body.

After a moment, he activated the Burning Technique and the Vajra Indestructible Body. The fire energy that the Green Lotus used to breed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire now turned into a boost to Yao Yan's cultivation.

"There's something wrong with his body!"

Cai Lin had been staring at Yao Yan. Naturally, she could sense the vitality surging from Yao Yan's body at this moment. It was simply absurdly vigorous, and his recovery ability was even more terrifying. The skin that had been burned to necrosis by the light blue flame was repaired almost within a breath by this huge vitality. This also made the opponent's body stronger and his resistance to the light blue flame became stronger and stronger.

She felt that it wouldn't take long before Yao Yan would be able to completely adapt to the burning of this light blue flame.

This talent is too terrifying!
Ling'er in his arms looked at Yao Yan who was burned by the light blue flame, and then looked at the Green Lotus Earth Fire in the Black Demon Cauldron. There was a lot more desire in her emerald green eyes, as if she really wanted to swallow the Green Lotus Earth Fire in front of her. She swallowed her saliva greedily, but her timid character made her suppress this impulse, because the performance of the Green Lotus Earth Fire before was a bit terrifying, and it seemed very violent.

After all, she is just a little foodie with little fighting ability.

……

……

Time passes slowly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Yao Yan's originally burnt skin fell off and was burned by the surrounding flames. The new skin that was revealed became stronger and stronger, and the bronze color became richer, as if it had reached its limit. At the same time, the silver color that permeated it became more and more, and the range was wider, making the aura emanating from his body heavier and full of an indestructible charm.

The light blue flames that kept emerging around him were like a breeze at this moment, and could not cause him much trouble at all. Even the burning pain gradually disappeared.

"Have I reached my limit?" Yao Yan opened his eyes, and his dark pupils looked at the light blue flames around him. He felt something in his heart, knowing that these fires from the earth's core could no longer cause him much harm. His body was extremely strong, and he had the blood of the two Doudi from the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan. It could be said that among his peers, almost no one could compete with him in physical strength.

Coupled with the blessing of the Soul-Swallowing Clan's king's blood and the Medicine Clan's Fighting Saint's essence and blood, he himself did not know to what extent his body had become perverted. Later, he practiced the extremely powerful fighting skill of the Vajra Indestructible Body, which further enhanced his physical strength.

This is also the reason why Yao Yan dared to torture himself like this. If it were his previous body, he would definitely not dare to be so unscrupulous.

Yao Yan felt the Dou Qi in his body, a ray of light golden flame flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said softly: "Nine-star Grand Dou Master, there is only one step away from Dou Ling!"

"woke up?"

At this moment, Cai Lin, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Black Demon Cauldron, noticed the movement and slowly opened her eyes. Her cold and charming purple eyes looked at Yao Yan, whose aura was becoming increasingly powerful. Her soft voice, with a hint of melancholy, said slowly that she had never seen anyone practice like this before.

But high risk does mean high reward.

In less than a month, Yao Yan's strength soared from a six-star master to the peak of a nine-star master.

This is also what shocked Queen Medusa the most. The opponent's fighting spirit is obviously stronger than many fighting spirit-level masters, but the opponent's fighting spirit level is actually a great fighting master.

She knew exactly what this meant.

Yao Yan did not stand up immediately. He was not a hooligan and had no interest in playing tricks in front of Cai Lin, the sister-in-law. He looked into her purple eyes and asked curiously, "How long has it been?"

He was unaware of the passage of time during his seclusion. He was always immersed in cultivation and did not care about the passage of time.

"It's been less than a month. Hai Bodong wanted to come here before, but his ice-attributed fighting spirit is not suitable for living here, so he had to return the same way. He should be waiting for us up there now. What about you? Now that you've woken up, do you want to continue practicing here, or go up there first?"

Cai Lin adjusted her mood, looked quietly at Yao Yan, the evil little monster, and asked.

"When I break through to Douling, we will go out."

Yao Yan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Cai Lin frowned slightly, looking at Yao Yan who was planning to stay here, and reminded him: "The Earth Core Fire nurtured in the Azure Lotus has no effect on you. It is meaningless for you to continue staying here. If you are thinking about the rich fire attribute energy here, just take the Azure Lotus away. This thing should be the key to gathering these fire attribute energies."

She had stayed here for so long that she naturally figured out some tricks. The Green Lotus that could produce the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was undoubtedly a treasure.

"You don't need to wait too long. One lotus seed will do. Even though it's a bit wasteful..."

Yao Yan looked at the lotus seeds on the lotus platform and reached out to take one from it. The green lotus seeds were flashing with tiny fluorescent lights and looked extremely magical. This was the companion of the Green Lotus Earth Fire. The Earth Fire Lotus Seed, known as the essence of the fire spirit, only produces one seed every hundred years. It was an extremely rare treasure in the outside world and could be used to refine seventh or eighth grade pills.

Swallowing it directly is undoubtedly the most wasteful way of using it.

However, Yao Yan is now only one step away from becoming a Dou Ling. He does not plan to continue practicing in seclusion and wasting several months to accumulate Dou Qi. Instead, he might as well swallow the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and use the fire energy contained in it to fill the gap between the two, allowing him to quickly enter the Dou Ling level. Then he can start to devour the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

As for whether one is enough...the Green Lotus takes a hundred years to nurture one Earth Fire Lotus Seed. The pure energy it contains is enough to drive many Dou Huangs and even Dou Zongs crazy. It is more than enough for a Great Dou Master to use.

Without hesitation, he flicked his finger and swallowed the Earth Fire Lotus Seed into his mouth.

As the phantom golden fire in his body covered him, a hot energy like magma suddenly burst out and began to flow along his limbs and bones. The energy was pure and overbearing, and even contained a power of strange fire that made it difficult to refine. Fortunately, Yao Yan had already gotten used to the earth's core fire released by Qinglian and was very adaptable to it.

But after a moment, he was able to guide this energy along the route of the Burning Decision, transforming it into streams of pure fighting spirit and pouring it into his dantian.

A steady stream of Dou Qi continuously poured into the Dou Crystal, making its color even brighter.

"Wow~"

As the light blue flames burning around Yao Yan's body shook violently, the fire energy that had been continuously pouring into his body lost its target at this moment, as if the portal in Yao Yan's body was closed. At the same time, the Dou Crystal in his body emitted a dazzling golden halo, like a bright sun. The warm and dazzling light continued to shoot out, illuminating the entire cyclone.

The surface of the crystal became smooth, and nine spikes protruded, turning it into a shape similar to a sea urchin.

As the Dou Jing trembled violently, an extremely powerful energy ripple spread out from it, passing through the cyclone, meridians, bones in the body, and finally through the skin, and then suddenly exploded!
"boom!"

As a powerful fighting spirit spread out, Yao Yan's body was enveloped by golden flames. As the flames rose, his figure was like a god, emitting an extremely powerful aura, and he actually suppressed the light green flame on the green lotus in an instant.

"One star fighting spirit!"

Purple cloud wings emerged behind Yao Yan, and as the wings fluttered gently, his body, which had not moved for a long time, finally floated down from the green lotus. His handsome face had a faint smile, and he was obviously very satisfied with the gains from this retreat.

Just as he had guessed before, the place that could breed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was indeed very suitable for a cultivator like him with fire-attributed Dou Qi.

However, after breaking through to the Dou Ling realm, the effect of cultivation here has been greatly reduced.

Cai Lin looked at Yao Yan walking in the air, and was silent for a moment. Finally, she spoke: "Stop showing off and put on your clothes first!"

She turned away her eyes somewhat unnaturally.
