Yao Yan naturally didn't know about the plans of Hun Mie Sheng and Hun Xuzi. In fact, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, because becoming the young patriarch of the Hun clan would not do him any harm. On the contrary, he could use it to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources. For this reason alone, he would not refuse.

In such a world, you naturally have to do your best to improve your strength. Only with strength can you have the capital to speak and protect what you want to protect, rather than being directly destroyed by a slap in the face.

Beyond that, nothing matters.

Since ancient times, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. Only the one who stands to the end can be the real winner!
……

In the secret room.

Yao Yan sat cross-legged in the center, his whole body covered with sky-blue flames, suppressing the Three Thousand Flames of Flame that occasionally overflowed from his pores. At this moment, he was like a human-shaped cage, suppressing the Three Thousand Flames of Flame's natal fire in his body, while his soul was fighting with the 'soul' of the Three Thousand Flames of Flame for the ownership of his body.

In the purple-black flame space, the wind was howling, and an extremely huge dragon slowly rose from the sea of ​​fire, hovering in the sky, looking coldly at Yao Yan in the center of the sea of ​​fire, and let out a deafening roar: "Foolish human, you think you can refine me?!"

Although it didn't know how the other party pulled it into this space of consciousness, its body's instinct told it that it must not lose. Once it lost, it might lose its freedom completely.

"You'll know if you try~" Yao Yan looked at the huge dragon body of Three Thousand Flames of Flame, his expression did not change at all, and he said very calmly.

If it were a competition of strength, he would definitely not be a match for the Three Thousand Flames of Flame. Even if the other party had already abandoned the star power accumulated over nearly a thousand years, the energy contained in his natal fire was not something Yao Yan could match. But now, with the help of the Dragon Seal, the competition between the two would not be based on their own strength, but on their real souls and wills.

Whoever can persevere to the end will become the real winner.

The Three Thousand Flames curled up its huge dragon body, and its eyes stared at Yao Yan with anger and violence. Without saying any more words, it roared, and the majestic purple-black flames around it instantly rushed towards Yao Yan like a tsunami. The terrifying power was enough to scare anyone.

In response to this, Yao Yan remained calm and even sat down cross-legged. Sky-blue flames rose under his feet and instantly condensed into a lotus that protected him. He stood firm even though the flames of the Three Thousand Flames of Fire washed over him.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the flames had no effect on Yao Yan, Three Thousand Flames roared angrily, and his huge body instantly smashed towards Yao Yan, using the most brutal posture, trying to crush the human in front of him and drive him out of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the horrific impact shook the entire sea of ​​consciousness, and a purple-black sea of ​​fire spread, as if there was an earthquake in the sea.

Yao Yan, who was hit by this critical strike, just frowned slightly, and then relaxed again. He was even in the mood to look at the Three Thousand Flames of Flame, and said softly: "Good strength, keep going, I'm curious about how many times you can hit~"

Hearing the teasing words of the tiny human in front of him, Three Thousand Flames of Flame went completely crazy, and like a tireless hammer, it attacked Yao Yan madly. The flaming lotus around Yao Yan also swayed continuously, as if it would collapse at any time. This scene also made the Three Thousand Flames of Flame attack even more violently, with almost no sign of restraint.

It is indeed just the power of strange fire. Although it has a strong intelligence, it is far inferior to humans in terms of mind... How stupid.

Yao Yan commented in his heart, then closed his eyes and waited for the opportunity. The confrontation of souls is different from strength. Insufficient strength can be made up by the energy of heaven and earth, but the soul cannot be made up in this way. In fact, the more it consumes, the more difficult it will be to make up. Once it exceeds a certain limit, it will even fall into a permanent sleep.

That was the case with Yao Lao back then.

The strange fire spirit of the Three Thousand Flames in front of him was obviously unaware of this and was squandering its own soul power wantonly. Once this power was exhausted, it would be able to be ravaged by Yao Yan!

Yao Yan even thought about using the attacks of the Three Thousand Flames to train his own soul. Although the process was somewhat painful, the obviously enhanced feeling made him enjoy it. He even had a perverted sense of comfort and looked forward to the opponent's attack being more fierce.

As his consciousness immersed himself, the Taixuan Sutra also began to operate. Strands of the Three Thousand Flames seemed to have transformed into nutrients, flowing into Yao Yan's body, enhancing Yao Yan's spiritual power.

The so-called soul battle is actually very similar to possession, but most people will choose to annihilate the other party's soul.

But Yaoyan has a special physique, and even his soul power has been "polluted" by evil spirits many times, gaining some devouring properties, which allows him to directly transform the soul power of others into his own nourishment. After realizing this, his eyes suddenly opened, and a look of surprise emerged in the depths of his eyes.

The Three Thousand Flames of Fire thought that Yao Yan was afraid, and attacked more vigorously. The huge dragon tail bombarded Yao Yan's fire barrier frantically, and it had no idea what fatigue was.

"It's not pollution, it's just a mutation caused by the body feeding back to the soul. Essence, energy and spirit are originally one and the same, and they can complement each other..." Yao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he realized the changes in his soul. The essence, energy and spirit of the human body complement each other and are indispensable. How could the changes in the body leave no change to the soul?

As his cultivation level improves, Yao Yan's understanding of the Three Flowers Gathering Fire Technique has gradually deepened. This technique used to build his foundation in childhood is by no means as simple as a transition!
The great way is simple. The simpler the technique, the closer it is to the great way sometimes.

Unfortunately, this principle is useless to some people who are new to cultivation. As for those with high levels of cultivation, their cultivation paths have long been fixed and difficult to change. Perhaps this is why the major imperial clans have foundation-building techniques.

After realizing this, Yao Yan's gaze towards Sanqian Yanhuo changed. He had originally planned to slowly wear away the opponent's strength until he was weak before taking action, but now that he had discovered the changes in his soul, there was no need to go through so much trouble. As his mind moved slightly, his soul incarnation began to undergo strange changes. His hair turned a scarlet color at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an evil vertical pupil appeared between his eyebrows, flashing a purple-black light.

Almost at the moment when the vertical pupils opened, the Three Thousand Flames of Flame, which was about to attack frantically, suddenly froze, and that huge body couldn't help but tremble, just like a human encountering a prehistoric ferocious beast and instinctively feeling fear.

The Three Thousand Flames stared at the tiny human below in shock and anger, and did not continue to attack for a while. It did not know what fear was, but the tug just now made it alert. "So it can be like this, the alien evil race is really perverted..." Yao Yan felt the changes in his soul and body, and suddenly understood why the alien evil demons were so difficult to eliminate. Even if there was only a trace of residual soul left, it could quickly recover to its peak, and it could be called an indestructible cockroach.

Because the spirit, energy and soul of this race are inherently one, there is no such thing as strong or weak; the three have become one!

Yao Yan has not reached that level yet, but he can temporarily let his soul borrow part of the power of his body. In contrast, Three Thousand Flames of Flame can only rely on the power of the soul to fight against him, and in terms of soul, Three Thousand Flames of Flame has no advantage at all.

After all, the strongest power of strange fire has never been soul power!
"After swallowing you, my soul power should be able to increase a lot~" Yao Yan's eyes flashed with blatant greed. Although his body was extremely small, he was like a predator, staring at the Three Thousand Flames of Fire, treating it as food.

The Three Thousand Flames of Flame undoubtedly sensed this, and immediately roared: "Human, you are seeking death!"

The sound shook the sea of ​​fire in the consciousness space, and the huge dragon body rushed towards Yao Yan again. Compared with the dragon body, Yao Yan's body was undoubtedly as small as an ant. However, with such a small body, he raised his hand and steadily caught the attack of the Three Thousand Flames.

The next moment, an invisible devouring force emerged from his palm, and the huge dragon body of the Three Thousand Flames of Fire instantly turned into purple-black flames like a tide, rushing towards Yao Yan's body, causing his body to expand rapidly.

The soul of the Three Thousand Flames was extremely hot, like magma. It was a bit painful to swallow, but this little pain was insignificant compared to the growth of the soul's origin.

"Let go, human!" Three Thousand Flames twisted the dragon's body frantically, trying to break free.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Yao Yan was lying on it, treating it as food, devouring its dragon body madly, and turning its soul essence into his own use. That posture made Sanqian Yanhuo crazy. It had never seen a human being like this!

The two began to struggle and the entire consciousness space continued to shake.

……

outside world.

Hun Mie Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged beside Yao Yan, suddenly opened his eyes. A pitch-black flame emerged in the depths of his eyes. He stared at Yao Yan in surprise. At this moment, the sky-blue flames around Yao Yan became abnormally vigorous, and were constantly attacking the purple-black flames around him. Moreover, these sky-blue flames actually had a strange devouring power, which swallowed up all the Three Thousand Flames and turned them into their own nutrients. This scene was really weird!
"...Could it be that this kid has also refined a Void Devouring Flame?!" Hun Mie Sheng said in doubt. At this moment, Yao Yan did not practice any skills, but just relied on his own instincts to begin to prey on the Three Thousand Flames emanating from his body. His strange fire actually contained abilities similar to the Void Devouring Flame, which was simply weird.

No, to be precise, it is different from the Void Devouring Flame. This fusion is more domineering, similar to the predation of the superior on the inferior.

Soon, Hun Mie Sheng sensed the rapid strengthening of Yao Yan's soul. The strengthening process was extremely obvious. This scene also made Hun Mie Sheng's eyes slightly condensed. He wondered whether Hun Xuzi had taught Yao Yan some special secret method to prey on the soul essence of others.

Although this secret method can enhance the soul's origin in a short period of time, it also has many side effects. For example, one's own soul's origin cannot be integrated with that part of the soul's origin!
The cost of eliminating it is extremely high!
"But the souls that devoured the strange fire don't seem to have this worry..." Hun Mie Sheng suddenly thought of something and said to himself. He had never thought of such things before. Who would have nothing better to do than to find a strange fire with the power of strange fire and devour its soul!
A soul battle is a very dangerous thing, far more troublesome than refining strange fire. Even a Douluo Saint would not do such a thing, as the risk and benefit are not proportional at all.

Under the gaze of Hun Mie Sheng, the origin of Yao Yan's soul grew rapidly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the aura in his body also surged. The originally sky-blue flame turned purple as it merged with more and more Three Thousand Flames. Yao Yan's fighting spirit also began to move rapidly towards Dou Zun!
In less than three months, Yao Yan's aura had leapt from the level of a nine-star Dou Zong to that of a one-star Dou Zun, and at the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure emanated from his body.

With Hun Mie Sheng's eyesight, he could even glimpse Yao Yan's huge soul body wrapped in purple-blue flames.

"He's almost approaching the middle level of the Heavenly Rank..." Hun Mie Sheng's eyes flashed as he said in a low voice. He suddenly wanted to take back his previous words. The talent of the boy in front of him had exceeded his cognition. Even the Hun clan's currently recognized number one evildoer could not compare to him.

At least he had never heard of anyone who could advance so quickly to the Heavenly Realm level. As everyone knows, the difficulty of improving the soul realm is far more difficult than practicing Dou Qi!

What's more, this boy is an eighth-grade high-level alchemist!

I waited about two more months.

The aura around Yao Yan had become completely restrained, and he looked no different from an ordinary person. However, in Hun Mie Sheng's eyes, an unimaginable transformation was taking place in the other party's body at this moment. Even in the later stages, he could hardly see clearly. The purple-blue flame that was fused with the Three Thousand Flames became increasingly deep and restrained, and its strength was not even weaker than those of the extremely top-ranked strange fires!
"There's something wrong with this kid's body!" Black flames flickered in Hun Mie Sheng's eyes as he judged in his heart.

After nearly half a year of observation, he has gained some understanding of Yao Yan's body. The other party's bloodline is definitely not the bloodline of Hunxu, and this body is also a little too strong, especially the jade bones...that is something that only a Dou Sheng can possess!
Where on earth did Hunxuzi find this monster?
It is simply unbelievable how strong it is, and his foundation is unbelievably strong, giving people the illusion that it is very easy to break through to the level of a Douluo.

"Wow~"

At this moment, the body that had been quiet for months finally moved, and a breath like a volcanic eruption suddenly surged out of its body. A terrifying suction force surged out of its body and began to swallow all the energy around it, as if it was extremely hungry.

Hun Mie Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he waved his hand to distort the space, moving Yao Yan and himself to the outside of the secret room.

Almost at the moment the two landed on the ground, the sky turned gloomy, and countless gorgeous clouds of fire appeared out of thin air. A moment later, they were intertwined with countless terrifying thunders, and even black magic thunder appeared. The scene was extremely terrifying... At the same time, tremendous energy began to gather, turning into energy tides that poured into Yao Yan's body, completely submerging the hill where Yao Yan was.

Hun Miesheng looked at this scene and whispered, "Heavenly Grade Technique..."

He was familiar with all the heavenly techniques of the Soul Clan. The technique that this kid was practicing was obviously not one of the Soul Clan's. Moreover, this terrifying phenomenon of heaven and earth... seemed to be foreshadowing the birth of a heavenly technique! (End of this chapter)
