The Battle Through Heaven
Sharp Increase in Compatibility Level
Sitting on the ground with sweat covering his body, Xiao Yan intensely and violently gasped for breath. His sleeves rubbed the sweat on his forehead and he shook his head with a bitter smile. A few minutes of dealing in such a manner actually caused more fatigue than his fight with the Da Dou Shi. Luckily for her, Queen Medusa's strength was much weaker for unknown reasons. Otherwise, he might really have been killed by her today.
Xiao Yan still had some heart pounding in his heart as he sighed. He slowly stood up, averted his gaze and suddenly stopped at the green-colored flame that was like a fire snake, moving up and down his body while dancing. Immediately, he was confused and his mouth opened slightly.
This green-colored flame was shaped like a long whip that was randomly put together by Xiao Yan as he quickly jumped back from the bed. His relaxed attitude in pulling him did not seem to cause him to use much energy.
After the long flame whip was pulled out, it separated from Xiao Yan's palm. After which, it automatically moved along Xiao Yan's body and rotated. The posture was as if it was a divine artifact, one that had a spirit, protecting its owner.
Xiao Yan's eyes stared at the long whip of green-colored flame that encircled his body. The corner of his mouth moved slightly. Although after twenty more days of training, the control over ‘Underground Green Lotus Fire’ is much more skillful, the, he knew in his heart that with a little ability to control the flame it was definitely impossible for him, at this moment, to control it. The fire was as nimble as his own hands.
However, the reality that appeared in front of him caused his head to be filled with fog on top of an overwhelming sense of pleasure.
After being puzzled for a while, Xiao Yan slowly recovered. He stretched out his palm and gently touched the long green-colored flame whip that revolved around him. The moment his palm made contact with the green-colored flame, it very obediently turned into a cluster of green flames that stuck above Xiao Yan's finger, writhing slightly.
The ten fingers of Xiao Yan moved together and were gradually pulled apart. Instantly, ten green-colored small fire lines were being stretched out. Her palm danced and ‘Fire Green’ Lotus Core on it rose and shrank occasionally. The nimble attitude was much greater when compared to what had happened when Xiao Yan was refining a medicinal pill a few days earlier.
What exactly is going on?
Observing the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’ that followed the changes in his mind and repeatedly turned into different forms, the shock on Xiao Yan's face grew clearer. When he controlled the flame, he could clearly feel that the intimacy of the ‘Fire Green’ Lotus Core with himself had clearly and suddenly increased by several times compared to the past. The feeling of resistance that vaguely existed in the past also quietly became much weaker.
Xiao Yan frowned as he pondered for a long time. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind. He softly muttered, "Don't say .. it's because of ‘Fire Lotus Seed’?"
As this thought flashed through his heart, it caused Xiao Yan to somewhat understand things clearly. The ‘Fire Lotus Seed’ and ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ were born from one body. Now that he had absorbed the ‘Fire Lotus Seed’s’ energy essence into his body, he had inadvertently caused the compatibility level between his body and the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ to be even more perfect. Following his analysis, Xiao Yan's tight frown was slowly released. Joy appeared on his face. He did not expect that consuming ‘Fire Lotus Seed’ would actually have such an unexpected and unique effect. This sudden increase in compatibility was something that caused Xiao Yan to become much more excited than when his wound had completely healed. After all, his injuries would heal completely sooner or later, but the compatibility between his body and the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ could only rely on adapting time to each other to slowly improve them. Therefore, with such a comparison, a glimpse of one of the rarest and more practical of the two would be known.
Carrying excitement on his face, Xiao Yan's gaze stared intently at the green-colored flame on his ten fingers. The flame shook a little. A moment later, they were completely agglomerated at the peak of his ten fingers, forming an extremely sharp flame puncture. Due to the result of the compression, the destructive power contained on the ten fire thrusts was undoubtedly quite strong.
Xiao Yan softly flicked his fingers and ten sharp stabs of flames suddenly shot out forcefully. The power of the heat formed a circle of small green-colored films around their bodies. Just as this flame puncture was about to hit the wall, Xiao Yan slightly bent his finger. Immediately, the fire thrust that was forcefully fired seemed to have received a drag force and suddenly turned around and returned using the same path they had used before, shooting back at Xiao Yan.
Smiling as he looked at the green-coloured flame prick that flew back, Xiao Yan stretched out his finger and the ten stabs were shot straight at Xiao Yan's finger.
The green-colored flame in his hand slowly disappeared. Xiao Yan watched his hand, which did not contain the slightest wound. He nodded in amazement. In the past, his control over ‘The Green’ Lotus Core Fire was clearly unable to reach the point to release and recover it. Now, however, after he had absorbed the ‘Fire Lotus Seed’, his level of control over ‘Heavenly Flame’ could already allow him to complete this extremely difficult flame control measure.
Each cluster of ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ required Xiao Yan to use a large enough amount of Dou Qi to mobilize from ‘Acceptance Spirit’ from within the vortex. If this ‘Heavenly Fire’ did not return after he fired it, no doubt it would be a very extravagant and luxurious action …
Xiao Yan once again played with the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’ that had become obedient before he slowly returned it completely to his body. His palm faced the Green Lotus Seat that hung in the air and beckoned. Immediately, the latter turned into a green light that floated into his storage ring.
As soon as he stored it properly, Xiao Yan stretched his lazy waist. The bones all over his body pressed against each other, emitting waves of cracking sounds. The feeling of being relaxed and full of energy caused Xiao Yan to exhale comfortably. He clenched his fists tightly and violently threw them forward. As he flipped between his fist and palm, a strong wind was created, giving him an imposing posture.
Sensing the terrifying strength erupting from the tightening of his muscles, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head. Although he had experienced great difficulty due to the serious injuries this time around, the fighting ability that his body could unleash at the moment was clearly greater than in the past. Seeing him this way, he was not inferior to being severely injured this time around.
Standing at the same spot, Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly. His mind went inside his body and quickly examined him for a single round. After which, he opened his eyes, tightened his fists and gently laughed, "After the infusion of the ‘Fire Lotus Seed’, I think I should already have the strength of a six-star Dou She …"
Xiao Yan smiled in satisfaction and slowly walked towards the side of the bed. He stared at the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ that was on the blanket and laughed.
‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ watched Xiao Yan slowly walk. His pale purple snake eyes glanced at the smiling face once and immediately ignored him. Turning his head around, he weakly laid his body on the soft bed. Clearly, Xiao Yan's previous sudden action to pour energy had caused the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ that had initial intelligence to feel somewhat angry in his heart.
Looking at the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ who was acting like a annoyed little child, Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his body. When he saw that it was still unreacted, he could only smile bitterly and take out a bottle of Amethyst Essence from within his storage ring. After that, he opened the bottle. The hot breath that contained a faint fragrance slowly rose.
Almost immediately after Amethyst Essence was removed from the storage ring, the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ that lay weakly on the bed suddenly stood up. It turned its head, looked at the smiling face of Xiao Yan and then glanced at the Amethyst Essence which was emitting a pale purple mist. Desire flashed in the snake's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, it could no longer hold the greed in its heart. It swung its tail and quickly crept in front of Xiao Yan, took out its snake tongue and let out a hissing sound.
Xiao Yan lowered the bottle with a smile. ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ swung its tail and turned its body into light and appeared in front of the bottle in a lightning-like manner. It stuck out its head and reached its snake tongue into the bottle, drinking voraciously.
Since Xiao Yan was intending to dispel the hatred in the little one's heart this time, Xiao Yan did not stop him from drinking greedily this way. He only saw Amethyst Essence falling slowly inside the bottle and pain flashed across his face.
After about a tenth of the Amethyst Essence inside the bottle was swallowed by ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’, it finally stopped to continue drinking. His head was a little confused as it was pulled out of the bottle. A drunken appearance completely flashed across his pale purple snake eyes.
Observing the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ shaking its head, Xiao Yan bitterly laughed and did the same. He carefully stored the Amethyst Essence and his palm rubbed his rather warm body. In a helpless voice, he said, "Little Friend, are you satisfied now?"
The mouth is shorter when a person eats something from another person. This time, ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ did not avoid Xiao Yan anymore. It shook its long neck and a purple light suddenly filled its snake eyes. Widening his snake mouth, he let out a muffled ‘leburst’ and a purple-colored flame suddenly spewed out from his mouth. In an instant, the turbulent flames burned the wooden beams on the ceiling of the room into a pile of pitch-black wood ash. TL: The mouth is shorter when someone eats something from someone else – Chinese idiom – means when you take something belonging to someone else it is difficult to refuse the person's request
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head and stared at the dark black charcoal pillar which let out a cracking sound. The corner of his mouth moved slightly. A moment later, he lowered his head and looked at the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ which repeatedly spouted out clusters of fire seedlings as if it was experiencing hiccups. Xiao Yan did not know whether he should cry or smile while shaking his head. Did this fellow think that Amethyst Essence could be eaten at random? The wealth of purple fire energy within it could cause people's hair to stand upright. It could easily agglomerate into a Purple Flame that had quite a powerful destructive power. That flame was something that even Yun Zhi feared back then.
Helplessly watching the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ that occasionally spouted a bunch of fire seedlings as if it was playing, Xiao Yan sighed. He was just about to wake up to pack up the messy room when his body suddenly stopped. His gaze stared intently at that purple-colored flame. A thought quietly emerged from within his heart.
"If I use this Purple Flame made by ‘Amethyst Essence’ to join ‘Green Lotus Flame’, the power of the ‘Angry Buddha Lotus Flame’ to be created will definitely not be comparable to the original but it should also not be too weak, right? Besides, with my current strength, I think I should be able to control it. " The palm of Xiao Yan's hand slowly stroked his chin as he softly muttered.
