<strong><u>Chapter 1204: Subdue</u></strong>


    The moment Xiao Yan stood up, the dragon eyes of the Three Thousand Burning me, within the purple-ck sea of fire, immediately showed a panic expression shing through them. An uneasiness suddenly covered its heart.


    Xiao Yan waved his hand amid the anxious eyes of the Three Thousand Burning me. The surrounding fire barrier slowly shrank before transforming into a faint, green fire glow that covered his body. After which, he stepped forward. A fire wave was formed where his feetnded as he slowly walked toward the Three Thousand Burning me.


    “Roar!”


    A furious roar was finally emitted from the Three Thousand Burning me after seeing that Xiao Yan had finally moved. It widened its enormous dragon mouth and arge fire pir shot out like a volcano. However, the strength of this current fire pir was clearly inferior to what it was before.


    Xiao Yan smiled in the face the Three Thousand Burning me’s attack. He gently waved a sleeve and a jade-green fire pir shot out from it. After which, it collided with the other fire pir. The purple-ck fire pirsted for an instant during the intense collision before copsing. The remaining green fire pir smashed into the Three Thousand Burning me’s body. The me that was sted apart caused a miserable cry to be emitted.


    “The current you is too weak...”


    Xiao Yan gently clenched his hand. He sensed the great strength that was present when he raised his hand and a joy involuntarily surged into his heart. This beast had acted mighty during this period of time. It had repeatedly mocked him, tried to force him to reveal himself, and told him to meet it in battle. Now, it was time for the situation to be reversed.


    “Lowly human, do not act so arrogantly!”


    The Three Thousand Burning me was so furious that even its eyes had turned aplete red. A furious roar exploded over this space like thunder. Immediately, the purple-ck mes erupted, transforming into a countless number of small fire dragons that roared as they violently charged at Xiao Yan.


    “Rumble!”


    The fire dragons exploded against Xiao Yan’s body. Terrifying hot air waves continued to spread. A sea of fire covered the area where Xiao Yan had stood earlier.


    “Hu...”


    The originally weary Three Thousand Burning me began to pant after unleashing such arge attack. Its dragon’s eyes looked at the sea of fire in the air. Before it could sigh in relief, it was shocked to see a figure slowly walking out of the sea of fire. That figure appeared like a descending fire god under the backdrop of the surrounding me.


    Xiao Yan’s face was slowly lifted into a smile as he stood in the sea of fire. He raised his hand gently and the dragon seal on his palm shook. It erupted with a shocking golden light.


    The golden light was just like a sun had risen within the spiritual space. The surrounding purple-ck sea of fire appeared to have suffered a powerful suction force that could not be blocked under the shine of this golden light. It suddenly surged into the dragon seal. Within a couple of blinks, this sea of fire hadpletely disappeared within the seal. At the same time, a purple-ck me gradually seeped out of Xiao Yan’s arm.


    The sea of fire scattered. Only the Three Thousand Burning me and Xiao Yan were facing off within this spiritual space. However, a terrified expression had surged into the eyes of the Three Thousand Burning me. Its enormous body continued to pull back.


    “You have lost...”


    Xiao Yan slightly smiled as he studied the Three Thousand Burning me, which had revealed a terrified expression as it continued to pull back. Xiao Yan smile grew. A golden light surged on his palm. Within a couple of whistles, the light caught up with the Three Thousand Burning me, and the light started to pulled it back toward the dragon seal as it roared and struggled.


    The enormous body of the Three Thousand Burning me swiftly shrunk as it came closer to the dragon seal. In the end, it transformed into a purple-ck fire glow that was absorbed by the golden light being emitted from the dragon seal on Xiao Yan’s palm.


    Xiao Yan finally sighed in relief as he looked at the Three Thousand Burning me that had disappeared into his hand. It would not have withdrawn in thispetition of will. It would not show signs of withdrawing regardless of how disproportionate their strengths were...


    “Break!”


    Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at this circr spiritual space, and faintlymanded.


    The surrounding space immediately began to fluctuate after his voice sounded. Immediately, a cracking sound appeared. The space transformed into countless numbers of spatial fragments as it burst apart...


    The moment the spiritual realm was sted apart, Xiao Yan, who had been seated within the purple-ck me-filled Star Region, slowly opened his eyes.


    A jade-green and purple-ck me shed across his dark-ck eyes as they were opened, causing him to appear exceptionally strange.


    Xiao Yan, who had opened his eyes, immediately looked at the small purple-ck fire dragon. At this moment, the eyes of the dragon had already lost their luster, causing it to appear a little sluggish.


    Xiao Yan softly sighed when he saw its eyes. This kind of battle was such that one party would have to die for the other to survive. There was no third option. He was able to let out a harsh sigh now. However, if the Three Thousand Burning me had obtained victory, it would likely proudly incinerate his body into ashes. No other emotions would have been present.


    A life and death battle was cruel. So-called good and evil did not exist in such a battle.


    Xiao Yan stood up and slowly walked to the small fire dragon. He ced his hand on the its forehead and a suction force surged. The dragon transformed into extremely deep-purple-ck mes that slowly flew up.


    Xiao Yan softly sighed as he looked at this cluster of purple-ck mes. This was the essence me of the Three Thousand Burning me that he had dreamed of. He had traveled a great distance from the ck Corner Region to the Central ins for it, undergoing many hardships in the process. At this moment, he had finally achieved his desire.


    “Rx, follow me. I will not humiliate your reputation on the Heavenly me Ranking...


    Xiao Yan softly muttered to himself. After which, he widened his mouth and swallowed the cluster of purple-ck mes into his stomach.


    The essence me had just entered his body when a wave of searing heat quietly spread out from within. Xiao Yan swiftly crossed his legs and sat down. A jade-green mes and purple-ck mes spluttered out from all of his pores.


    Xiao Yan had sessfully obtained the essence me of the Three Thousand Burning me. Currently, he needed topletely refine it and subsequently merge it with the zed Lotus Heart me. He would then need to activate the me Mantra and evolve it once again!


    Although Xiao Yan had obtained control of the Three Thousand Burning me due to the existence of the dragon seal, this me was quite high on the Heavenly me Ranking. It had been formed after a countless number of years, causing it to possess a pride that could not be eroded easily. Quite some time would be needed in order to refine it.


    Back then, Xiao Yan had spent two years underground in order to refine the Fallen Heart me. It might not take so long this time around, but it would likely not be something that could be settled within one to two days.


    The jade-green me cover around Xiao Yan had slowly paled the moment he had sat down and shut his eyes. Finally, it disappeared...


    The purple-ck sea of fire that permeated the star region immediately surged over after the fire barrier disappeared. However, just when the mes were about to reach a ten-foot-radius from Xiao Yan, they began to hurriedly split apart. After which, they obediently lingered around him, as though the mes were worshipping him.


    Xiao Yan might have dodged the sea of fire, but the Sky Demon Puppet by his side gradually emitted a faint golden light due to it having lost the protection of the barrier. Although it was still within a ten-foot-radius of Xiao Yan, the temperature of the Star Region was so high that it was frightening. The ce appeared just like a furnace. Xiao Yan was immune to the heat, but it was not. Golden-colored liquid continued to drip down its body. With this golden liquid rolling down, the bright-golden color on its body slowly changed to a dim-golden color. At a nce, it was even deeper and more mysterious.


    From the looks of it, the majestic lightning strength the Sky Demon Puppet had absorbed before was being refined naturally by the Star Region furnace...


    Although Xiao Yan clearly understood that refining the Three Thousand Burning me would require a long time, he did not expect half a year to pass after he shut his eyes.


    During this half a year, the Star Region continued to remain quiet as a region of the dead, but the area outside of the Star Region was incredibly noisy.


    The third day after the Star Region had been shut, the Little Fairy Doctor had insisted on asking the three great heads to open the Star Region to rescue Xiao Yan. The three great heads were unable to stop her and with Xuan Yi mediating, the Star Region was opened on the third day. However, a terrifying sea of fire surged out like a prehistoric beast the moment the door opened. Had the three great heads not been prepared, it would likely have caused a great disaster.


    With this situation having urred, the Little Fairy Doctor was unable to request the three great heads to open the door again despite feeling extremely anxious in her heart. Fortunately, Zi Yan still had her ability to sense him. Otherwise, she would likely have difficulty enduring the torment during this period of time.


    Around one month after the door had been opened the first time, the three great heads once again took the initiative to open the Star Region. This time around, Xuan Kong Zi had entered by himself. However, he ended up fleeing miserably after having been inside for less than five minutes. Due to the Star Region being shut, the temperature was unbelievably high. Even with his strength, he was merely able to travel a thousand meters before being unable to endure any longer. All he could do was flee.


    Everyone’s hearts gradually sank when they saw Xuan Kong Zi’s miserable state. Even with his strength, he was unablest long within the Star Region. There was no need to even talk about Xiao Yan.


    However, while everyone was expecting the worse, the Little Fairy Doctor’s group were desperately grasping the final straw. This straw was the dragon seal on Zi Yan’s hand. Currently, their only hope was the existence of this dragon seal. If that dragon seal were to suddenly disappear one day, it was likely that the Little Fairy Doctor would copse...


    With the flow of time, an increasing number of people began to cease holding any hope that Xiao Yan was alive. Even Xuan Kong Zi and the others could only quietly sigh. Who would have expected the champion of this Pill gathering to end up with such a fate?


    While a countless number of people were letting out hushed sighs, the interior of the death-like Star Region emitted a slight fluctuation for the first time...
