Chapter 70: Farewell, Yun Yun
Moments later, after exhausting all the Dou Qi from his Purple Cloud Wings, Xiao Yan finally flew back to the cliff cave where Yun Yun was already waiting.
"Mission accomplished." Xiao Yan retracted his Purple Cloud Wings and grinned as he tossed the Purple Spirit Crystal to Yun Yun.
Yun Yun caught the Purple Spirit Crystal and her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan, who was panting with exhaustion in front of her, "I didn't think you would actually manage to get it."
When Xiao Yan first suggested that she provoke the Amethyst Winged Lion King while he snuck into the cave to steal the Purple Spirit Crystal, she was highly skeptical.
After all, the situation inside the cave was fraught with danger, not to mention the presence of a peak Rank 3 young Amethyst Winged Lion King. Given Xiao Yan's current Dou Master cultivation level, it seemed like he was just walking into the jaws of death.
Yet, against all odds, Xiao Yan managed to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal and even successfully escape.
"You helped me obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal and even saved my life. If there's anything you want, I can help you within my capabilities," Yun Yun said after a moment of silence. She seldom owed favors to anyone and wasn't sure how to repay him.
"Huh? Yao Yan, are you alright?"
Yun Yun's delicate eyebrows furrowed as she noticed something was off with Xiao Yan. His breathing was getting faster and faster, and his skin began to redden as an unusual heat surged out of his body.
'Damn it! What the hell is going on with this Ten Thousand Beast Flame!' Xiao Yan hastily sat on a cold stone and began to circulate his Flame Mantra.
But this time, the Flame Mantra didn't work!
He discovered that the bit of Ten Thousand Beast Flame he had just absorbed was completely uncontrollable. After entering the area of his Qi cyclone, it immediately spread throughout his body via his sinews and veins, even beginning to merge with his flesh and bones!
'Damn! This Ten Thousand Beast Flame is merging with my flesh and bones!!!!
Xiao Yan realized he had been careless! The Ten Thousand Beast Flame was fundamentally different from the Bone Chilling Flame and the Nihility Devouring Flame's Seed Flame; its special ability was to merge with the body!
He had absorbed other Heavenly Flames before, but the Ten Thousand Beast Flame did not follow the usual pattern! Instead of moving through the meridians, it penetrated directly into the flesh and bones.
Seeing Xiao Yan's body turn increasingly red, even emitting white smoke from the top of his head, Yun Yun quickly moved behind him. She reached out her jade-like hand and gently placed it on his back, which felt as hot as a furnace.
"Why is your body so hot?!"
"I just absorbed a special flame that is merging with my flesh and bones!"
Xiao Yan's physique was already very strong, but it still fell short compared to magical beasts. Originally, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was used by magical beasts to strengthen their bodies and make them even more formidable.
As a result, when Xiao Yan, a human, absorbed just a tiny amount of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, his physique, though robust for a human, seemed rather weak in comparison to that of magical beasts, leading to his current condition.
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes gradually closed as the Dou Qi within her surged like a vast ocean. It quickly flowed through her arm and into Xiao Yan's body.
Under her control, the wind attribute Dou Qi that had just entered Xiao Yan's body swiftly occupied all of his meridians. After that, it began to expel the Ten Thousand Beast Flame within him.
With the addition of Yun Yun's Dou Qi, Xiao Yan's body slowly began to cool down.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan trembled violently as a burst of blood-colored flame erupted from every cell in his body and poured out through his pores.
Roar!!! From within the blood-colored Ten Thousand Beast Flame, the roars of ten thousand beasts could actually be heard.
Ten thousand beasts roared in unison. The Ten Thousand Beast Flame truly lived up to its nature as a Heavenly Flame. Even a mere wisp was enough to shatter the Dou Qi Yun Yun had introduced.
"Aah!!!" Xiao Yan suddenly let out a long howl to the sky as his muscles bulged and beast-like scales sprouted on his skin. A pair of sharp fangs and blood-red pupils made him look like a magical beast!
The Ten Thousand Beast Flame could actually induce a magical beast transformation in humans!
Boom! Completely overtaken by the beast spirit within the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Yan burst forth with astonishing speed. He bit into Yun Yun's collarbone like a wild beast, his sharp fangs piercing deeply into her flesh as he sucked at her blood!
The sharp pain caused Yun Yun to grit her teeth, but she didn't use her Dou Techniques to push Xiao Yan away. With her Dou Emperor strength, releasing her Dou Qi would cause Xiao Yan's entire body to blow apart.
She placed her right hand on Xiao Yan's Dantian, enduring the pain as she continued to control her Dou Qi to expel the remnants of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
The green-colored Dou Qi continuously shattered the beast spirit intent within the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, leaving only the purest Ten Thousand Beast Flame behind.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Yun Yun completely purged the beast spirit intent from the Ten Thousand Beast Flame within Xiao Yan, thus ending his magical beast transformation.
Having returned to normal, Xiao Yan gradually calmed down, released his bite, and collapsed to the ground, his clothes charred and tattered. Yun Yun could even see his bare white buttocks quite clearly.
Yun Yun hurriedly took out a robe and wrapped it around herself. After all, she had been in close contact with Xiao Yan, and her situation was hardly any better.
In just these few days, several of her clothes had been torn to shreds...
Sensing that Xiao Yan had recovered, Yun Yun helped him back to the cave.
She glanced at Xiao Yan and pondered for a moment before taking two scrolls from her storage ring and placing them on the ground. Then she spoke softly, "This is a scroll of a High Xuan Class fire-attribute Dou Technique, as well as an Intermediate Xuan Class agility-type Dou Technique. I hope they can be of help to you in the future."
After carefully setting down the items, Yun Yun touched the spot where she had been bitten. A lot had happened over the past few days. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with indescribable emotions as she bent down and gently kissed Xiao Yan's forehead.
With a slight flutter of her green wings, her figure gracefully soared into the sky.
A faint fragrance lingered, but the fair lady was already gone.
Not long after Yun Yun left, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and looked in the direction she had gone.
Initially, he had indeed lost consciousness. He hadn't expected the Ten Thousand Beast Flame to possess the will of ten thousand beasts, which temporarily clouded his mind.
However, he possessed the Seed Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame, and combined with his strong Spiritual Strength and the aid of Yun Yun's Dou Qi, he soon regained some
consciousness.
He had merely pretended to be unconscious just now, and Yun Yun likely knew he was
pretending.
Xiao Yan sighed as he picked up the Dou Techniques from the ground, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Yun Yun was a Dou Emperor after all. Had he insulted anyone else in such a manner, they might have killed him with a single slap.
He placed the two scrolls into his storage ring, sealing the memories of the past few days along with them. He would not recall those memories if fate decreed they would never meet
again.
For now, he had more pressing matters to attend to.
Xiao Yan slowly circulated his Dou Qi after focusing his mind. This time, however, he deliberately directed the Dou Qi from his sinews and veins into his internal organs, bones, and
flesh.
Boom! his muscles suddenly bulged, and his body instantly became robust. A layer of blood- red flame transformed into a layer of beast scales that covered his body and gave him a fierce
appearance.
'Dou Qi armor? No, I've seen the Grand Elder use Dou Qi armor, and it wasn't like this.'
'The Ten Thousand Beast Flame can transform a human into a magical beast-like body!'
Magical beasts could transform into humans by consuming a Body Transformation Pill, thereby gaining human cultivation talents. However, in this world, there was no pill to transform a human into a magical beast to gain their physique.
But the Ten Thousand Beast Flame could do just that! This was the ability of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, to make one's body as powerful as that of a magical beast.
Yun Yun had told him that the strength of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was equivalent to
that of a 1-star Dou Emperor, but its physical strength could rival that of a 5-star Dou Emperor. The difference was unimaginably terrifying.
This only showed how incredibly powerful the physique of a magical beast was!
