In the vast and boundless magma cavern world
the scorching magma flowed slowly like a river of red fire, with huge bubbles occasionally rising.
This endless ocean of magma resembled a gigantic furnace, containing extremely dense fire-element energy, each strand brimming with ferocity and intensity.
However, under the frantic absorption by Xiao Yan, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, this dense fire-element energy gradually approached exhaustion.
Among them, Xiao Yan played the greatest role, while the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake were more so beneficiaries of the cultivation.
Deep in the magma, Xiao Yan was like a greedy beast, continuously devouring the fire-element energy within the magma.
By now, the world, which had gradually calmed, was boiling once more.
Suddenly, a powerful whirlwind surged from within the magma, twisting through the air like a fire dragon.
With the appearance of this whirlwind, all the fire-element energy in the magma world was instantly stirred, and the scorching magma dried up at a visible speed.
At this moment, the magma cavern world seemed to have become a sacred land of fire elements.
"What's happening?"
"What occurred?"
Under such terrifying accumulation of fire-element energy, the magma cavern world was far more extreme in temperature than the Fire of the Green Lotus Core could ever release.
Even rare and powerful fire-element beasts like the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake struggled to withstand the rapidly accumulating, overwhelming fire-element energy.
In the blue world deep within the magma, Xiao Yan resembled the center of a frenzied energy-absorbing vortex, consuming the surrounding surging fire-element energy at an astonishing speed.
Benefiting from the fire-element energy mobilized by Xiao Yan's cultivation, the roots growing the Green Lotus Core Fire by his side had an ideal environment for growth.
Although Xiao Yan did not pour any special accelerating elixirs into them, in this unique environment, in less than three days, they had already grown into a magnificent, intertwined root network.
When all the energy had been completely devoured by Xiao Yan, the entire magma world seemed to undergo an unprecedented transformation.
The once-boiling magma had now turned into cracked land, with deep ravines crisscrossing like a desolate painting.
Sitting cross-legged, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with dazzling light, and a majestic aura emanated from his body, sweeping through the underground world like a violent storm.
With the release of this aura, the underground violently shook as if countless giant beasts had awakened beneath the earth, roaring deafeningly.
The tremor was so intense that even the entire Tagore Desert was affected; the ground quaked, cities swayed, as if doomsday had arrived.
Xiao Yan himself was like a deity controlling flames, surging out of the blue world with a majestic aura, hovering above the solidified magma.
"Yan Shao?" Looking at the suddenly appearing figure, the huge beast face of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was full of shock and awe.
During his secluded cultivation, his strength had grown immeasurably, becoming a rare seventh-rank beast.
But seeing Xiao Yan again, even though his first impression seemed ordinary, the beast's instincts were telling him:
If he attacked with raw strength, Xiao Yan now could possibly kill him without even a glance.
Although this seemed incredible, the Amethyst Winged Lion King never doubted his instincts.
It was precisely because of such keen perception that he had survived life-and-death crises and grown to his current level.
After days of secluded cultivation, Xiao Yan, having finished his training, adjusted to his current strength and suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of red light passing through his dark pupils.
If he had trained normally, his current strength should have already reached the Dou Zun level.
However, the Green Lotus Creation Classic was an extraordinary cultivation method. Although its grade had reached the Heavenly level, the Heavenly Flames within his body were separated into independent entities, which temporarily slowed his level advancement.
Including the embryonic Emperor Flame, all eleven Heavenly Flames now each possessed Dou Zong-level strength.
If Xiao Yan did not activate the Green Lotus Creation Classic in conjunction with the Heavenly Flames, his own cultivation would have fallen to Dou Zong level.
But if he combined the energy of all the Heavenly Flames, although his strength would not reach Dou Zun level, killing a Dou Zun-level expert would not be difficult.
Xiao Yan was not shortsighted; temporary stagnation was nothing. Although his cultivation level was slightly lower, his strength still had room to grow.
This was not just for long-term cultivation or method refinement—it also addressed inherent flaws in his training.
Many Heavenly Flames relied on self-concentration, with the Heavenly Flame energy vortex and spiritual absorption being potential cultivation flaws; the longer these persisted, the harder they were to resolve.
Now that the spirits of the Heavenly Flames had formed, all Heavenly Flames could train autonomously, with constant noticeable improvement, eliminating such problems.
The terrifying grade of the Green Lotus Creation Classic allowed Xiao Yan to feel, with each breath, his temporarily lowered cultivation rapidly recovering.
Inspecting the endless fire domain at present, nothing surprised him.
Wild Heavenly Flames and his self-concentrated Heavenly Flames differed greatly under the effect of the Green Lotus Creation Classic.
Except for the Green Lotus Core Fire taking shape and speaking once, all other Heavenly Flames remained in a training state, motionless.
The cultivation methods and combat techniques Xiao Yan had designed for each Heavenly Flame were all of extremely high grade.
The cultivation methods were relatively easy to train, but mastering the combat techniques to perfection was not simple.
"Separately, they are eleven Dou Zong-level experts; combined, they can kill a Dou Zun. Although my cultivation has temporarily fallen, the effect is still quite good." Xiao Yan stretched, slowly landing on the solidified magma.
This result was far better than he had expected.
"Yan Shao…" The Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly called out.
Looking at the giant purple lion, which had roughly doubled in size, Xiao Yan raised his hand to his chin: "Seventh-rank level, overall strength comparable to a five-star Dou Zong. Lion King, it seems you benefited greatly from this training."
"All thanks to Yan Shao," the Amethyst Winged Lion King bowed his head in gratitude. "If it weren't for the powerful method you provided, I wouldn't have known when I could have broken through the seventh rank, let alone made progress at the early seventh-rank level."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. He mainly intended for the Amethyst Winged Lion King to serve as a mount and craftsman; now, its strength was rapidly improving, and it was worth creating a Heavenly-level comparable method for it.
His gaze then fell on the crimson giant serpent prostrated on the ground. Xiao Yan was a little surprised: "Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, over this period, you've reached the sixth-rank level, becoming a beast comparable to a Dou Huang."
