Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

When Xiao Yan arrived in the Heavenly Tomb, he found Xiao Qing there as well.

The latter waved her fair arm with a smile, calling out in a clear voice, "Cousin, cousin, over here!"

Just like the little girl she used to be.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face as he walked over, noticing that Xiao Qing not only had five types of异火 (Yi Huo, translated as 'Strange Flames'), but also three more besides those obtained from the Yan Clan, appearing black, silver, and brown respectively.

He recognized them at a glance: the Netherworld Wind Flame, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, and the Turtle Spirit Earth Flame…

Xiao Yan asked, "Shouldn't these three types of Strange Flames be with the Yao Clan and Blazing Flame Valley? How did you get them?"

Xiao Qing replied without hesitation, "Cousin Xiao Li snatched the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame. Well, although he gave compensation, it should still count as snatching…

"The other two were sent by your teacher. He said the Yao Clan doesn't have much strength left and can't be of much use on the main battlefield, so they can only use these to help you.

"In addition, he gathered a portion of medicinal herbs and refined a Rank 9 Profound Pill for you."

Xiao Yan was touched. He stepped forward and said softly:

"I know… you should go out now. At this time, it's best not to waste the time you can spend in the Heavenly Tomb. If you are rejected by the Heavenly Tomb and encounter an emergency, you won't be able to come in."

Xiao Qing asked, "Don't you need me to protect you?"

Xiao Yan shook his head, "The Heavenly Tomb is very safe. Those soul bodies don't dare to resist me."

"Okay then, cousin, good luck! You are the last hope of the family!" Xiao Qing clenched her fist and made a gesture of encouragement.

After Xiao Qing left, Xiao Yan began to refine the Strange Flames.

At his current level, it was extremely difficult to advance even a little. Even with so many Strange Flames gathered, and a Rank 9 Profound Pill, it was unknown how much effect it would have.

Volcanic Rock Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, Netherworld Wind Flame, Red Lotus Karma Flame, Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame, Eight Desolate Destruction Flame… as the eight Strange Flames were refined one by one, Xiao Yan felt his bottleneck loosen slightly, but it was still a little short…

He took a deep breath and swallowed the Rank 9 Profound Pill, making a final gamble. If this didn't work, then breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng before the final battle would probably be impossible.

As the Rank 9 Profound Pill entered his stomach, surging energy flowed through his meridians. Qing Meng also helped Xiao Yan to fully activate his cultivation technique, absorbing the energy in the Heavenly Tomb in an almost plundering manner.

Energy from tens of thousands of miles around rapidly converged, forming an energy storm like a funnel.

Qing Meng used the purification power of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to remove the impurities, continuously transporting the purest energy into Xiao Yan's body.

"Still a little short…" Xiao Yan glanced at Qing Meng, his eyes flashing slightly.

He opened his Na Ring and took out all the medicinal herbs and pills inside in one go.

"Qing Meng."

"Meng!" Qing Meng understood and swallowed the medicinal herbs and pills, extracting the energy from them.

Because he absorbed a huge amount of energy, Xiao Yan's whole body turned red and began to swell.

He gritted his teeth and persisted, roaring, "Break!"

Faint starlight filled every corner of the Heavenly Tomb. Taking advantage of the Dou Di status, the Amons hidden in the cracks of space whispered.

"Is this relying on roaring for output?"

"Tsk tsk, seems quite useful."

"It's breaking, it's about to break!"

"He really broke through!"

Xiao Yan vaguely heard the sound of something breaking. He suddenly felt relaxed, and the energy in his body calmed down. Although it was more powerful than before, it flowed obediently along the meridians without putting any burden on his body.

A hint of joy appeared on his face… he had finally broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Although it was only the initial stage, with the mystery of the Burning诀 (Fen Jue, translated as 'Burning Mantra'), and the power of the 'Angry Buddha Lotus Flame' after the fusion of the Strange Flames, which could unleash power beyond even a Heaven-Rank Dou Ji, he might not be unable to fight against Hun Tiandi.

After spending two days familiarizing himself with his power, Xiao Yan left the Heavenly Tomb and rushed to the Black-Corner Region.

With his current strength, even though the Black-Corner Region was very far from Central State, it wouldn't take long.

Arriving at Canaan Academy, he found that the Fire Energy Hunting Competition was in progress. Watching the new students fleeing through the forest pursued by the older students, a look of nostalgia appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

He remembered the girl who stayed by his side, who liked to wear green dresses, and was as elegant as a lotus flower, and the black-skirted girl who stood at the finish line waiting for him, smiling, with a hint of mystery and temptation…

The smile on his face faded again…

They were all gone.

Xiao Yan restrained his emotions, took a step, and appeared behind Elder Su Qian.

"Have you been well, Elder Su Qian?"

"Who?"

Su Qian, who was standing in the high sky observing the movements of the new students in the forest, was shocked and suddenly turned his head.

The Netherworld Wind Flame was black, and Xiao Yan used this to change back to black hair. His appearance had not changed much from many years ago, only becoming more mature.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Su Qian immediately connected him with the amazing young man from back then:

The Dean probably hated himself. After all, he had led people to attack the Lei clan and forced their patriarch to his death.

If possible, he wouldn't have wanted to go this far, but he couldn't betray the expectations of his ancestors, family, and father.

He was Xiao Yan of the Xiao clan, no longer the carefree youth of the past.

Su Qian sized up Xiao Yan for a moment, then asked with a hint of inquiry, "What is your current realm? I can't see through you at all."

Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, "I'm just a Dou Sheng, still a bit short."

Su Qian was stunned. He didn't know the word 'Versailles', but he felt that this kid was showing off!

What do you mean 'just a Dou Sheng'? What do you mean 'still a bit short'?

What are they, who have worked so hard for most of their lives, and only barely see the hope of becoming a Dou Zun, supposed to think?

Xiao Yan chatted with Su Qian for a while, then his expression became serious, and he went straight to the point:

"Great Elder Su Qian, I hope you can lead the students to evacuate the Black-Corner Region, the farther away the better. You can have the Xiao Gate people escort them and go to the Jia Ma Empire together."

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Su Qian was shocked and asked, "What happened?"

"I can't go into too much detail, but in short, this place may become a huge battlefield. At that time, in this war, Dou Zong will be commonplace, Dou Zun will not be able to protect themselves, and even Dou Sheng will have a very high probability of falling," Xiao Yan replied.

"Dou Sheng has a high probability of falling?" Su Qian gasped and looked at Xiao Yan in horror.

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, "Absolutely true. This will be a battle that determines the fate of the Dou Qi Continent. The winner will become the overlord of the entire Dou Qi Continent."

Su Qian took a deep look at him and took a deep breath, "This reminds me that someone reminded us before to leave here and go as far as possible.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"At that time, we left for a month in the name of organizing students for collective training, but after discovering that there was nothing unusual, we thought it was a prank by some senior and came back."

Xiao Yan was shocked… Could someone else know that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave is under the Canaan Academy?

His tone was a little dignified, "Who is it?"

Su Qian replied without thinking, "According to the students, it seems to be a young man wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle on his right eye."

"Amon?" Xiao Yan blurted out.

Does Amon also know that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave is under the Canaan Academy? It should be Ape Duke Amon, not the Amon of the clan leader's lineage.

If it's him, it's not surprising. He lived in the forest behind the Canaan Academy for a long time as Ape Duke, and he is fully capable of diving deep into the lava world… There are probably not many places in this world that can stop him.

"You know him?"

"He's kind of like my teacher… In short, it's very dangerous here. At that time, I'm afraid the entire Black-Corner Region will not be safe."

Su Qian nodded, "Thank you for telling me. I will organize the students to evacuate now."

"Also, please help me inform Xiao Gate. Although I have never managed them, they are nominally my subordinates."

Su Qian shook his head, "You, if I hadn't passed on some news about you to them, if the Gold and Silver Elders hadn't been so diligent, I'm afraid your Xiao Gate would have disbanded long ago."

Xiao Yan smiled, "Then Xiao Yan will thank the Great Elder for his care."

He originally wanted to thank him with pills, but when his index finger touched the Na ring, he remembered that all the pills and medicinal herbs had been used up during the breakthrough.

After a little thought, his soul power surged out, and dozens of streams of light flew over instantly.

When the light stopped, Su Qian realized that these were all medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan waved his sleeves, and a flame surged out, enveloping all the medicinal herbs. In just a few minutes, a round pill was formed.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a strong pressure came, causing Su Qian to feel a tremor in his soul.

The grade of the pill that Xiao Yan refined in these few minutes was definitely not low.

Looking at the dark clouds gathering in the sky, Xiao Yan just spit out a word softly, "Disperse."

The dark clouds just dissipated.

Su Qian and a group of Canaan Academy elders behind him almost had their eyes pop out… Can you refine pills like this?

"Can you show off like this?"

The Amons, observing Xiao Yan's every move, showed surprise.

"I've learned it, I've learned it. I'll do this in the future too."

"As expected of Xiao Yan, I'm ashamed of myself," one Amon sighed.

Xiao Yan handed the pill to Su Qian, "This pill can increase the Great Elder's probability of breaking through to Dou Zun. Consider it a thank you for your care over the years."

Su Qian did not decline and said thank you.

"I have something else to do, so I won't chat anymore." Xiao Yan said goodbye to Su Qian, came to the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, nodded to the Thousand and Hundred Elders waiting here, and then passed through the seal and came to the lava world.

"This is… that little guy from back then?"

"Young Master Xiao Yan of Xingyun Pavilion?"

"As expected, a good reputation is not without reason. He is probably already in that realm."

"The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared…"

Qian Lie and Bai Mu sighed repeatedly.

Xiao Yan came to the underground lava world and plunged into the lava without any hesitation.
