Sky Fire and Earth Fire were strange flames formed from the heavens and the earth. After countless years, they had absorbed an immeasurable amount of Origin Energy to form.
Between the two, Sky Fire had evolved to become more powerful, while Earth Fire still needed to undergo a metamorphosis process before it could advance to a higher level.
However, it was also a flame with intelligence. It could sense the existence of danger and knew how to strike first.
The Ultimate Blaze Fire went from a palm-sized white flame to a huge flame that was dozens of meters wide. It even took the shape of a mutated white snake and pounced towards Ling Xiao.
The reason why it was called the Extreme Flame Shaped Fire was because it knew how to simulate all kinds of shapes, which made people feel strange. That was why it was named this way.
The fire wound in Chi Gang's body had been formed by the Ultimate Blaze Fire.
"Hehe, it's scary enough, but it can't deal with me!" Ling Xiao laughed.
He waved his hands unhurriedly, and the burning Heavenly Fire in the surroundings immediately wrapped around him, and all of them rushed towards the Extreme Flame Form Fire.
The Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl in Ling Xiao's mind also flew out. It emitted a strong and threatening fire light and rushed towards the Ultimate Blaze Fire.
Ling Xiao said to the Demon Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl, "Take it easy for me. Leave some of your Origin Energy for me!"
Clang!
The Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl seemed to respond. It shook a few times.
The purple flames surrounded the white snake, making it difficult for it to escape.
The Ultimate Blaze Fire knew it was in danger and kept rushing in one direction. Unfortunately, it was to no avail. Its power was slowly being devoured by the Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl.
The Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl was very excited. Its power kept increasing.
On the other hand, the Ultimate Blaze Fire's power was getting weaker. The white snake that was dozens of meters tall was getting smaller and smaller.
Ling Xiao saw that the Ultimate Blaze Fire was almost used up. He quickly said to it, "Submit to me and assimilate with me. You still have a chance to live!"
The Ultimate Blaze Fire didn't say anything. The Demon Heavenly Fire Pearl increased its absorption. It knew that if it didn't absorb now, it wouldn't have another chance.
"If you don't want to, then just wait to be completely devoured. If you do, then click a few times!" Ling Xiao continued to speak to the Ultimate Blaze Fire patiently.
If it was unwilling, it would be difficult to forcefully absorb and refine it, but if it was willing, it would save a lot of trouble.
Finally, after enduring for a while, the Demonic Demon Heavenly Fire had almost absorbed the original power of the Flaming shaped flame. It couldn't wait to flash its snake head, afraid that if it waited any longer, it would really absorb all the power that it had accumulated for ten thousand years.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned the Evil Demonic Heavenly Fire Bead back.
The Demon Spirit Heavenly Fire Pearl began to resist. After all, its favorite "delicacy" was right in front of it. However, in the end, it was unable to resist Ling Xiao's forceful summon. It unwillingly returned to the sea of consciousness.
"Be a good boy and come here. I will let you live!" Ling Xiao called out to the Extreme Flame Shaped Flame like he was trying to tempt a child.
The Extreme Flame Shaped Flame had nowhere to run. After all, although Ling Xiao had summoned back the Demonic Demon Heavenly Fire Bead, the surroundings were still filled with Heavenly Fire, preventing it from escaping.
The Extreme Flame Shaped Flame was still in the shape of a white snake. It timidly scuttled onto Ling Xiao's palm.
Ling Xiao looked at the Extreme Flame Shaped Flame in his palm and was ecstatic. He hurriedly put it back into the medicine cauldron.
He had already offended the Ouyang family. He didn't know if the white snake would return at any time. It really wasn't suitable for him to refine the Extreme Flame Shaped Flame here. He might as well put it away and find another place to refine it.
After Ling Xiao put away the Extreme Flame Shaped Flame, he was about to leave. However, the corner of his eyes glanced at a corner. His expression slightly twitched.
He saw that there was some dry grass under the soil of a pit. Above the dry grass, there were six snake eggs that were half a meter in size.
The snake eggs were crystal clear and emitted traces of warm air.
Ling Xiao walked over and murmured, "I didn't expect there to be snake eggs. This is a bonus!"
Ling Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and kept the six snake eggs.
Even if he didn't need them, he could still sell them for a lot of Xuan Crystals. After all, these were mutated white snake eggs. After they hatched, the level of these little snakes wouldn't be low and there would be more room for them to grow.
After leaving the cave, Ling Xiao kept the Corpse Demon. Chi Gang was still standing guard outside the cave.
"Elder Chi, let's go!" Ling Xiao called out to Chi Gang who was not far away.
When Chi Gang saw Ling Xiao come out, he immediately flew over and said, "Palace Master, have you settled it?"
Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, "I personally went out, there's nothing that can't be done." He paused for a moment and said, "Meng Nan hasn't returned yet?"
Chi Gang shook his head and pointed in a direction, "I don't see him coming back. However, I sensed the sounds of battle over there. I think he's over there!"
"Let's go take a look!" Ling Xiao replied and immediately flew in that direction.
After flying at full speed for a while, the two of them finally found something.
They saw that dozens of mountains were in a mess. Countless trees had fallen and many places were still emitting thick smoke.
In another direction, a ferocious Lion Tiger Beast was biting a huge white snake and swinging it around. The white snake was using all its strength to strangle the Lion Tiger Beast. The two beasts were using the most primitive strength to kill each other.
When Ling Xiao and Chi Gang arrived, the Lion Tiger Beast had already bitten the white snake to death. The Lion Tiger Beast was also seriously injured and many of its fur were burnt.
Ling Xiao quickly went over and absorbed the flames on the Lion Tiger Beast's body. If he let it burn any longer, the Lion Tiger Beast would also die.
"Damn bug, I didn't expect its fire to be so destructive," the Lion Tiger Beast said after taking a bite of the snake meat.
Its mouth was full of blood and it looked quite ferocious.
Chi Gang understood that the "Meng Nan" was his Palace Master's protective spirit beast. He didn't expect it to be so fierce.
"Let's make snake soup tonight." Ling Xiao ignored it and said, "Oh right, did that man and the mantis catch up to you?"
The Lion Tiger Beast replied, "We were about to kill them, but we didn't expect that man to throw something that could explode. Both me and the bug were injured and they escaped."
"En, they escaped." Ling Xiao replied. He threw a rank seven fire attribute beast core to the Lion Tiger Beast and let it swallow it to recover from its injuries. Then he said to Chi Gang, "Elder Chi, skin this snake. Forget it, it's not a bad idea to take it back and auction it!"
Ling Xiao still couldn't bear to divide the white snake's corpse. It would be good to bring it back to the auction as the finale of the auction.
Just when Ling Xiao was about to leave the Southern Ancient Ridge, Chi Gang revealed an embarrassed expression and said, "Palace Master, I … I have something to ask of you."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" Ling Xiao said.
Thus, Chi Gang told him about his worries.
He was afraid that the Ouyang Clan would harm the mercenary group that he had founded. He wanted to go back and tell his brothers about it.
Ling Xiao was a reasonable person and immediately understood Chi Gang's meaning. He nodded and said, "En, a person can't be without loyalty. Telling them won't have much effect. I'm afraid that there won't be a place for them in the Southern Ancient Ridge. How about this, ask them if they are willing to join the Palace, or ask them to immediately move to the Death Mountain Range. The resources there aren't any less than here."
Chi Gang was overjoyed and replied, "Palace Master is really considerate. I will go and tell them now."
"En, let's leave this place first. I will find a place to settle down. You can meet up with me after you're done." Ling Xiao replied.
He didn't really trust Chi Gang, but he firmly believed in the principle of "don't doubt the people you use, and don't use the people you doubt".
If Chi Gang ran away, then he could only blame himself for not recognizing people well.
However, if Chi Gang really did that, then there would be no place for him in the Central Region.
Ling Xiao stored the Lion Tiger Beast and left with Chi Gang. They were also worried that the Ouyang Clan would rush over again.
When Ling Xiao arrived at a relatively secluded mountain, he asked Chi Gang to quickly inform his brothers. Then, he descended and opened a cave in the middle of the mountain. He was prepared to refine the Extreme Flame Shaped Flame here.
When the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art was cultivated to the Great Accomplishment Stage, its power was quite terrifying. However, it was also quite harsh to cultivate. It required nine different types of Extreme Yang Flames to fill the nine Yang Meridians in order to achieve Great Accomplishment.
Nine types of Extreme Yang Flames were not easy to find. Other than a few common ones, the others were quite difficult to find.
For example, Liu Xu needed to obtain the inheritance and had the help of the Flowing Sun Sect, but he only managed to gather seven types of Extreme Yang Flames.
However, in comparison, the seven types of Extreme Yang Flames that he gathered were far weaker than the seven types of Extreme Yang Flames that Ling Xiao had now.
Just the Extreme Flame Shaped Fire in Ling Xiao's hands was enough to suppress Liu Xu's seven types of Extreme Yang Flames. What's more, he still had the heaven-defying top-grade Heaven Flame.
Hence, at the same cultivation realm, if Ling Xiao and Liu Xu used the Nine Sun Burning Heavens Fist, Liu Xu would definitely lose. This was under the circumstance that Ling Xiao did not increase his battle strength by several times.
Ling Xiao's fusion of the Extreme Flame Shaped Fire was very smooth. The Heaven Flame must have been watching him like a tiger watching its prey. The Extreme Flame Shaped Fire did not dare to have any strange movements.
The Extreme Flame Shaped Fire was much thicker than the few types of Extreme Yang Flames that Ling Xiao had absorbed and refined in the past. After he completed the fusion, Ling Xiao received a considerable amount of strength. It directly raised his strength from the middle-stage Mystic Thearch to the middle-stage.
One had to know that Ling Xiao had just broken through to the middle-stage Mystic Thearch stage not long ago. Now that he had such a huge improvement, it was really heaven-defying.
Ling Xiao finally understood why Liu Xu could break through to the Mystic Thearch stage so unexpectedly. He believed that it was because he had refined the seven types of Extreme Yang Flames and received the strength of the Extreme Yang Flames.
Nine Sun Burning Heaven Art, the first layer Scarlet Blazing Sun, the second layer Golden Blazing Spirit Sun, the third layer Indigo Blazing Extreme Yang, the fourth layer Black Blazing Absolute Yang, the fifth layer Azure Blazing Nether Sun, the sixth layer White Blazing True Sun, the seventh layer Purple Blazing Divine Sun, the eighth layer Rainbow Blazing Immortal Sun, and the ninth layer Pale Blazing Sacred Sun.
The first seven levels had finally been cultivated by Ling Xiao. He was already very close to the Phenomenal Stage.
Once he successfully cultivated the last two levels, the Rainbow Scorching Immortal Sun and the Pale Scorching Sacred Sun, he would reach the Nine Suns Realm. He would be able to use nine different types of Extreme Yang Flames at the same time. Its power would definitely be earth-shattering.
It was just that he had fused the Heaven Flame for the seventh level. It was undoubtedly extremely difficult to cultivate the last two levels. That was because the grade of the Extreme Yang Flames needed to be at least equivalent or higher than the Heaven Flame.
