"Brush~"Accompanied by waves of space ripples, Yao Yan's body was like a fish, shuttling rapidly in the space. Although he could not tear the space apart and teleport directly over long distances, his speed was countless times faster than before. This was the blessing brought by the power of space. The so-called distance would gradually become a decoration as his strength grew. In just a few breaths, Yao Yan's figure appeared outside the Tianmu Mountains. His majestic soul power swept out, and everything within a radius of dozens of miles came into his mind. He did not feel any effort, and could even continue to expand to the distance at any time. "Successful?!" Along with an old man's laugh, the figure of Master Feng appeared beside Yao Yan. He looked at Yao Yan with some surprise in his eyes. At this moment, the aura emanating from Yao Yan's body was extremely powerful, far beyond the reach of an ordinary Dou Zong. And this soul power... even he, a Dou Zun, felt a little oppressed. Considering Yao Yan's age, Master Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just as his old friend said, Yao Yan's talent in alchemy was even better than his cultivation, especially the growth rate of his soul power, which was simply unbelievable. The soul power of an ordinary alchemist may not increase much even until death, but Yao Yan's soul power seems to have no limit and is always in a stage of rapid growth. When Yao Lao first met Yao Yan, the other party was just a teenager who had barely entered the spiritual realm. But only a few years. Yao Yan has already reached the heavenly level.
This soul gift is truly horrifying. "Lucky~" Yao Yan smiled modestly, and quickly retracted the soul power that had been emitted. He felt the Dou Qi filling his body, and the feeling of comfort was simply indescribable. In particular, the speed of his strength growth did not slow down with the breakthrough to the Dou Zong level, but instead showed an exponential upward trend. Perhaps he will break through to the Dou Zun level earlier than he thought. "You'd better stop being modest. If you were lucky, then others wouldn't have to seek a breakthrough. But your breakthrough this time made a big noise, and you almost sucked all the energy contained in the Tianshan Blood Pool dry. The Tianshan Blood Pool has to be closed this year, and I have to deal with this matter." Venerable Feng stroked his beard gently, with a slight smile on his slightly sage-like face, and spoke softly. "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Feng!" Yao Yan bowed. "It's not really a big deal. Compared to these, I'm more curious about your current strength...how many stars of Dou Zong are you now?" Venerable Feng looked Yao Yan up and down and asked curiously. However, in the past year, Yao Yan gave him the feeling that he had been reborn, and his whole aura was much stronger. "I'm at the peak of the four-star Dou Zong level, just one step away from the five-star Dou Zong level. I can easily reach that level. However, my strength breakthrough was too fast this time. I plan to adapt for a while before breaking through again." Yao Yan clenched his fist without using any strength. The space around his palm was slightly distorted, which showed how much his strength had grown to at this moment. If he meets the old demon again now, he is confident that he can kill him within a few rounds without the need to rely on the power of the fire lotus. "Tsk tsk, what a little monster." Venerable Feng had a strange look in his eyes and couldn't help but make a joke that was inappropriate for his status. There was nothing he could do. Yao Yan's performance was too exaggerated. No wonder the Tianshan Blood Pool was sucked dry by Yao Yan. How could the energy that was supposed to be used to baptize the Nine-Star Dou Huang withstand such absorption by Yao Yan? What's more, Yao Yan's own foundation is far beyond that of ordinary Dou Zong, and the Dou Qi in his body is inflated beyond belief. "Let's talk about it when we get back. Old Yao Chen must be waiting impatiently." Venerable Feng smiled and waved his hand to condense a huge blue phoenix under the two of them. As its wings flapped, the surrounding space instantly twisted, as if a space wormhole had formed in front of it. It took the two of them and disappeared from the spot in an instant, galloping towards the southern region of Zhongzhou. Taking advantage of the time of traveling, Yao Yan sat cross-legged and sorted out the information about Taixu Ancient Dragon. The Gold-Eating Rat Clan knew very little information about this former Warcraft overlord family, and most of it was learned from the vassal races of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. After all, the Gold-Eating Rat Clan was not qualified to directly contact such a behemoth. To put it bluntly, almost all the adults in the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan are Dou Zun-level warriors, and the strongest one in the clan is even a Dou Sheng-level boss. This kind of ethnic group is no less powerful than the imperial family. The strongest of the Gold-Eating Rat Clan is only a Dou Zong. They wanted to join the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but the other party looked down on them. They could only get some information from the vassal mouths of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Among these vassal races, there were also a few special groups, such as the ancient dragon bears that contained a trace of dragon blood in their bodies. However, there are very few such monsters. Currently, there is only one recorded in the intelligence. Its strength has reached the eighth level. It is in the Danta area and its whereabouts are unknown.
According to the plot of the original novel, this ancient dragon bear should be the little brother that Zi Yan recruited in the original novel, Xiong Zhan! Apart from this, the other vassal tribes knew very little about the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. They only knew about the internal strife that had occurred within the clan, as if several dragon kings were trying to separate. This information was obtained a thousand years ago, and no one knew what the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was doing now. "This intelligence contains very little useful information." Yao Yan sighed helplessly in his heart, but he could also understand that it was unrealistic to expect the Gold-Eating Rat Clan to find out information about the Taixu Ancient Dragon. After all, that clan had always lived in the void, and those who were not strong enough to reach the level of Dou Zun did not even have the qualifications to enter. "Help Yao Lao to revive first, then consider this matter!" Yao Yan made a decision quickly. With his current strength, it would be impossible for him to fight against the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan without the help of the Soul Clan. And with his current identity, it is obviously impossible for him to use this relationship openly. Therefore, the only person he can rely on is Yao Lao. With Yao Lao's original strength at the peak of the ninth level, if the materials for his resurrection were good enough, he should be able to try to break through to the semi-saint level. The elixir is easy to obtain, and a Dou Zun's corpse can also be prepared. The magic beast's essence and blood can be used to hunt some special magic beasts. At worst, I can use myself as bait to attract the Tian Yao Huang clan to come to the door. But before that, I have to join the Dan Tower first. With Danta's endorsement, even the Tian Yao Huang clan would not dare to be too presumptuous. But there is one thing to say. Yao Yan also wanted to have a taste of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan. He wondered if he could awaken the wings of the Heavenly Phoenix and the body of the ancient dragon after devouring the royal blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan. He could try this path and make a draft for the future 'chaotic body'. Without thinking too long, some things have been decided. …… A few days passed in a flash. On this day, Yao Yan and Feng Zunzhe also arrived at Xingyun Pavilion. There were not many changes inside compared to when he left. On the contrary, Yao Yan, the person who was out, had changed more. Zi Yan even opened her eyes wide, and seemed a little afraid to recognize him as her elder brother. "Brother?" Zi Yan blinked and called out suspiciously. Yao Yan was still the same Yao Yan, but the aura he exuded was very different from before. She couldn't tell exactly where the difference was, but could only roughly sense the change, which was obviously related to the Doudi bloodline of the Yan Clan that Yao Yan had swallowed. "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, don't you recognize me?" Yao Yan walked over, rubbed Zi Yan's head with his hand, and said with a smile. "Brother has changed a lot~" Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and told the truth, the change was not just an increase in strength. "Have you ever tested the quality of your own bloodline before?" Yao Lao walked around Yao Yan, then seemed to have thought of something and asked. The quality of the Dou Emperor's bloodline is not static. The best among them will allow their bloodlines to constantly transform during the process of cultivation until they become divine bloodlines. However, the number of such outliers is extremely rare. Even among the several imperial clans combined, there may not be one in thousands of years. For most of them, the limit is to improve by one or two grades, and their bloodline grade will be completely stabilized as they reach adulthood, with no possibility of further improvement. The changes in Yao Yan at this moment seem like changes in his bloodline advancement. Yao Lao also possesses the blood of a Dou Emperor of fairly high grade. Although an accident in his youth caused the grade of his blood to drop, it still supported Yao Lao's later path and prevented him from encountering too big a bottleneck before breaking through to the Dou Zun level. One can imagine the benefits of the Dou Emperor's blood. The stronger you are, the more you can feel the benefits of the Dou Di bloodline. "It wasn't very high when I was tested. As for now... it's hard to say." Yao Yan said the truth. At the same time, he also wanted to know what grade his current Dou Di bloodline was. "Lucky boy, it seems that your imperial bloodline has advanced. Very good, so you will have almost no bottleneck in breaking through to Dou Zun. In fact, your cultivation speed will increase instead of decrease. You should make good use of this stage and do your best to improve your strength as much as you can!" Yao Lao's eyes flashed, his tone became serious, and he spoke in a deep voice. Everyone has a period of time when their strength improves rapidly. For some people, this period is very short, and they may even waste it. But some people are able to seize this opportunity, and once they do, they will undoubtedly leave their peers far behind. Yao Yan nodded with a calm expression, because he was more aware of the changes in his body than Yao Lao. However, the growth of strength also requires a process of adaptation. If he completely let go of the swallowing, he might be able to break through to the Dou Zun level in the shortest time, but the consequences would be disastrous, and he would most likely become an evil creature controlled by desire.
The blood of the Soul-Devouring Clan is not so easy to control and is full of evil intentions, which can easily arouse people's deepest desires. The lust for beauty, the desire for strength, the greed for natural treasures... Fortunately, Yao Yan's soul power grew fast enough, otherwise he might really be affected by this desire. “Now that we have made a breakthrough, it’s time for us to set off for Danta. I am quite interested in Danta.” Venerable Tianhuo stroked his beard, with a big belly and said with a smile. After not seeing him for some time, the Skyfire Master seemed to have grown a lot in size. "Have you gained weight?" Yao Yan said in disbelief. Even Dou Zun strongmen can get fat... "What do you mean by getting fat? This means your strength has increased~" Venerable Tianhuo coughed and said unhappily. Hearing this, everyone started laughing. Yao Lao stroked his white beard and said softly, "Let's go straight away. I also want to meet a few old friends. They should know that I am still alive. Haha, it's time to repay the favors they owed me." After he finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. This trip to Danta was also to prepare for resurrection. Either don't do it, or do your best. He also wanted to try and see if he could really break through that level! It is not impossible to join Danta for this reason. After all, strength is what matters. With what Yao Yan has gotten into now, even a peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun seems to be unable to hold on. "I won't go. This kid's breakthrough caused a lot of trouble, and I have to go and clean up his mess." Venerable Feng said with a smile. With Venerable Tianhuo on his side, he was not worried about Yao Lao's safety at all. Moreover, once he arrived at Danta's sphere of influence, Yao Lao would be safer than anyone else. Although Yao Lao made many enemies back then, there were even more people who owed him favors. What's more. Now Xuan Yi, one of the three giants of Danta, is still his old lover~ Who can be safe with him? "What trouble has this kid gotten into again?" Yao Lao asked in surprise. "The Tianshan Blood Pond was almost sucked dry by him. Today's Tianshan Blood Pond cannot be opened. I have to go say hello to the Sifang Pavilion." Venerable Feng explained helplessly, but after a moment, he couldn't help laughing again. "Those old guys must be looking unhappy, haha." "It seems that you have caused quite a stir." Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan with a smile. He knew that Yao Yan would not be content. With his talent, his fame would sooner or later spread throughout Zhongzhou. He just didn't know whether this would bring good or bad results. Yao Yan continued to rub Zi Yan's little head and said, "Let's go." Yao Lao nodded. Soon, the group of people left Xingyun Pavilion one after another. Yao Yan and his group were still sitting in the space ship, shuttling through the space channel, rushing towards the direction of Danta. At the same time, Yao Lao also asked a question that he was more concerned about: "Has the Bone Spirit Cold Fire been devoured?" "Well, the Burning Technique has also evolved. It should be considered a quasi-heavenly level technique at present. It's still a step away from the true heavenly level~" Yao Yan's eyes were filled with sky-blue flames, with a faint white glow floating in them, which was indescribably weird. "Quasi-Heavenly Level? That's good. If it really evolves to the Heavenly Level, I'd be worried that you wouldn't be able to control it." Yao Lao's tone was much lighter. The stronger the martial arts, the better. Especially when one's strength is not enough, rashly practicing high-level martial arts will only kill oneself. It is best to proceed step by step like Yao Yan. The quasi-heavenly-level martial arts just fits Yao Yan's current strength. Others need to consider the side effects of replacing their skills, but Yao Yan doesn't need to at all.
The Burning Decision was even more terrifying and incredible than he had imagined! (End of this chapter)
