<strong><u>Chapter 1205: Swallowing Heavenly me, Nine Star Dou Zong!</u></strong>


    The terrifying temperature within the Star Region, created by the purple-ck mes, continued to rise. It was mind-bogglingly hot. Even space itself had be exceptionally distorted at this moment. If ayer of seals had not existed to keep it isted, it was likely that these mes would have erupted like a volcano with pressure building up underground, bringing a cmity to Holy Pill City.


    There was an empty area within the middle of this dead region permeated by purple-ck mes. Not the slightest me flowed within this area. All the sweeping mes would automatically flow away when they swam close to this area.


    A skinny figure sat cross-legged in the empty region. An extremely deep-purple-brown me rose from his body. This kind of me lingered over him. Each time the me churned, it would cause the endless, purple-ck fire sea to fluctuate.


    That young man did not sense the change in the surrounding mes. It had been nearly eight months since he had shut his eyes back then. His body had not moved even an inch during these eight months. Even his breathing had be soft and inaudible. If a trace of life did not still fill his body, it was likely that everyone would have thought that he was merely a lifeless corpse.


    Threads of a purple-brown fire seedlings suddenly seeped out of the pores his body while he sat quietly like an old monk. After which, they turned into tiny vines that lingered over his body, using a strange refinement method to hone his skin, muscles, and bones.


    Under the refinement of this purple-brown me, Xiao Yan’s white skin gradually gained the hints of an ancient-bronze color, causing his body to appear filled with strength.


    Following this quiet condition of his, it seemed as though the entire Star Region’s breathing had merged together. Each time his breath became heavier, the sea of fire that spread throughout the Star Region would be lifted into waves of fire. By the time his breathing calmed, the fire wave calmed down and the Star Region once again recovered its silence.


    Time quietly flowed by like the sand between one’s fingers amid this breathing. It stretched on until a certain day...


    The Star Region continued to remain deathly quiet like in the past. There was not even the slightest life force present in this hellish fire. A rushing sound would asionally be emitted when a me swept over. However, that kind of sound carried the aura of death, causing this ce to appear even more deste.


    An unusual movement was suddenly emitted from the calm sea of fire. When one followed the direction of this unusual movement and looked over, one would discover that it originated from that me-free area within the sea of fire.


    At this moment, threads of purple-brown mes continuously surged out of Xaio Yan’s meditating old monk body. These mes twined and moved. Finally, they vaguely formed a purple-brown fire dragon that was a couple hundred feet long. If one managed to see it clearly, one would discover that this purple-brown fire dragon was the actual body of the Three Thousand Burning me in the past.


    However, this kind of purple-brown me appeared to be even deeper and more mysteriouspared to the pure Three Thousand Burning me.


    “Roar!”


    The purple-brown me lingered in the air. An enormous fire body covered Xiao Yan. Finally, it lifted its enormous head and widened it huge mouth. An earth-shaking roar suddenly resounded within this dead quiet Star Region!


    “Bang!”


    Following the appearance of this roar, the originally calm purple-ck mes immediately became wildly violent. Moreover, they appeared to have suffered a strange suction force as they agglomerated into numerous purple-ck fire pirs that continuously surged toward therge mouth of the fire dragon lingering in the sky.


    With an increasing amount of purple-ck me being swallowed by therge, purple-ck fire dragon, the purple-brown color on its body deepened. Its dragon scales also became life-like causing it to appear alive.


    “Roar!”


    The purple-ck mes within the Star Region were too vast. Even though the enormous dragon swallowed with all its might, it was unable to significantly reduce the size of the sea of fire. These mes were formed from the absorption of the star strength by the Three Thousand Burning me over an innumerable number of years. The current Xiao Yan had difficulty absorbing them all.


    The enormous dragon swallowed a decent amount of purple-ck me. Only then did it feel satisfied. Its enormous body gradually shrank before transforming into a wisp of purple-brown fire that seeped into the top of Xiao Yan’s head.


    A pair of eyes that had been tightly shut for half a year finally trembled when the enormous dragon entered Xiao Yan’s body. They were subsequently slowly opened.


    “Chi!”


    Both of Xiao Yan’s eyes were opened. A purple-brown me immediately burned within his dark-ck eyes. Two fire glows shot out of his eyes. They appeared like twosers as they forcefully created two hundred-footrge me-free areas.


    The sea of mes churned as the fire glow rushed passed. Only then was it withdrawn.


    “Hu...”


    An unusually hot breath slowly followed Xiao Yan’s throat as it was spat out. Following the exhaling of this breath, the ancient-bronze color on Xiao Yan’s body was slowly withdrawn.


    “Is it finally about to seed...”


    Xiao Yan slowly lowered his head. He clenched his hand and a cluster of purple-brown mes emitted a ‘puff’ sound and appeared. This was his new Heavenly me. It was a new Heavenly me merged from the Three Thousand Burning me, the Green Lotus Core me, and Fallen Heart me!


    Xiao Yan didn’t know just how terrifying the Heavenly mes ranked at the top of the Heavenly me Ranking, but from his guess, this newly formed Heavenly me should have the qualification to rank among the top six.


    “Since it is formed from the merger of three types of Heavenly mes, it shall be called... Three Thousand Lotus Heart me.”


    Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the cluster of purple-brown mes in his hands. He softly said.


    Xiao Yan clenched his hands and absorbed this cluster of purple-brown mes back into his body. His hands were suddenly extended. His head was lifted and a clear cry resounded within this silent Star Region like that of a crane!


    The cry was a long one and the bones all over Xiao Yan’s body suddenly exploded at this moment. At the same time, his aura was climbing at a shocking speed!


    Following the sudden increase of Xiao Yan’s aura, the purple-ck sea of fire became unusually wild and violent. The me was just like a tidal wave within the ocean as it widely whizzed. A couple of thousand-foot-wide me tornadoes formed around Xiao Yan. Numerous fire dragons lingered and roared outside of the storms.


    Dou Zong four star, five star, six star, seven star...


    Xiao Yan’s aura soared to the point of causing one to be stunned. If someone had been present, that person would have been stunned by this terrifying rate of increase. A target that other people required a few years or even a few decades in order to reach had been swiftly ovee within these short two to three minutes!


    Regardless of how good one’s control was, it was likely that one would copse on the spot. This kind of speed was beyond that of an aerone. Even taking a rocket would not be this frighteningly fast.


    The wildly soaring aura surpassed that of the seventh star. After which, it once again abruptly soared. Finally, it broke through the difficult nine star barrier before slowly halting. It eventually stabilized at that level...


    The roar finally weakened amid this soul-stirring aura. The surrounding firestorms also came to a halt...


    “Ah...”


    Xiao Yan’s hand were gently lowered. He sensed the unprecedented vast, mighty Dou Qi that flowed within his veins. A slight moan was involuntarily emitted from his mouth. This kind of advancement was really too awesome. me Mantra was indeed a top level, mysterious Qi Method.


    Xiao Yan gently clenched his fist. This feeling of surging strength caused Xiao Yan to feel the impulse of shattering this space. At this moment, Xiao Yan was confident that if he were to meet Old Mu Gu again, he would definitely not flee like thest time...


    “Nine star Dou Zong...”


    Xiao Yan sensed the Dou Qi within his body. The smile on the corner of his mouth widened. When he had swallowed the Fallen Heart me back then, it had caused him to leap from a Dou Ling to the peak of the Dou Wang ss. He had leaped an entire ss. This time around, the leap might not appear as wild and violent asst time, but Xiao Yan understood that the energy needed within the Dou Zong ss was far from what the energy needed to leap from the Dou Ling to the Dou Wang ss couldpare with.


    The amount of time a person needed to sessfully advance from the Dou Ling ss to that of the Dou Wang ss might not even be able topare with the time a Dou Zong needed to raise his strength by one star.


    This was aparison between two different sses. How could they bepared?


    If Xiao Yan had swallowed the Fallen Heart me from back then after reaching the four star Dou Zong ss, it would likely only raise his strength by three stars or so. Fortunately, the Three Thousand Burning me was not only ranked higher than the Fallen Heart me but the energy that it had gathered was far from what the Fallen Heart me couldpare with...


    Xiao Yan smiled, feeling extremely satisfied with his current condition. His eyes suddenly slid to the Sky Demon Puppet by his side, and he immediately became startled. At this moment, it was a dark-golden color. At a nce, it gave one the strange feeling of being all-mighty.


    “This... is this because of the high temperature refinement?”


    Xiao Yan was startled beforeing to an understanding. The temperature within the Star Region was frighteningly high. If he had not sessfully swallowed the Three Thousand Burning me, it was likely that his fate would not have been any better.


    “The fighting strength of the current Sky Demon Puppet should have significantly raised. I wonder if it is able to defeat Old Mu Gu alone?”


    Xiao Yan studied the Sky Demon Puppet with great interest. After which, he waved his hand and returned it to his Storage Ring. His eyes scanned the purple-ck sea of mes that had spread over this Star Region. These had been all formed from the energy absorbed by the Three Thousand Burning me over a countless number of years. It would really be too much of a waste to simply leave them here.


    “In that case, allow me to make the best use of it...”


    Xiao Yan smiled. His palm faced the sea of mes before it was suddenly clenched!
