221: What a bullshit fighting technique

Chapter 221: What Kind of Dog-Shit Dou Skill?

Back in the Demon Flame Space, Soul Cang called Xiao Yan over.

“Big Brother.” Xiao Yan’s expression was serious. He had already learned about the events in the Medicine Clan through his teacher, Yao Chen, and understood that they would soon enter a chaotic phase.

Soul Cang nodded slightly: “This time at the Medicine Ceremony, I obtained two types of Heavenly Flames. Absorb them as quickly as possible. I originally planned to capture the Void Swallowing Flame, but it was a pity.”

He raised his hand, and two clusters of Heavenly Flames appeared.

Similar situations were so numerous that Xiao Yan was almost numb to them. His current strength was inseparable from the person before him.

But the gratitude in Xiao Yan’s heart remained; he just no longer expressed it verbally, instead engraving it in his memory.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan said solemnly: “Big Brother, in the upcoming battles, I will charge at the very front and will not disappoint your expectations.”

Soul Cang patted his shoulder and gestured with his hand.

Understanding that time was pressing and improving his strength was paramount, Xiao Yan left with the Heavenly Flames, striving to absorb them as quickly as possible.

In the Demon Flame Space, with only Soul Cang left, a thought moved, and two Fire Spirits appeared before him.

One Fire Spirit resembled an old turtle, while the other was like deep green vines, swaying.

“I hope it can help me break through to the Eight-star Dou Saint.”

A thought of expectation flashed through Soul Cang’s mind as he directly swallowed the two Fire Spirits.

These days, Soul Cang had already noticed that the further back one was in the Dou Saint realm, the higher the difficulty of advancement.

Even if he could improve his strength by devouring Fire Spirits, in the early stage of Dou Saint, the Nether Lotus Demon Flame could help him advance by two to three stars.

Now, with the Flame of Life, ranked fifth, Soul Cang felt unsure if it could even boost him by one star.

Additionally, there was an ethereal feeling; Soul Cang sensed a layer of suppression, as if covered by a tough membrane, no matter how much force he applied, he couldn't break through. He would need to find a weak point to pierce through.

Soul Cang guessed that this was probably the unique rule power of the Dou Qi Continent.

The closer one got to Dou Emperor, the more apparent this rule became.

Even with Fire Spirits provided by the system as power, to break through to Dou Emperor, he must obtain the Origin Emperor Qi; otherwise, he would be limited to the Dou Saint realm.

Soul Cang felt this point when he performed the “Fire Spirit Three Transformations.”

Because the Fire Spirit Three Transformations centered on Fire Spirits, divided into Burning Body, Burning Soul, and Burning Spirit, logically, the more Fire Spirits he possessed, the stronger the amplification should be.

But this time, facing the Void Swallowing Flame, Soul Cang felt that even when performing the Fire Spirit Three Transformations, the power amplification still hadn't reached its limit, as if subsequent power was suppressed by something and couldn't be released.

Compared to Xiao Yan, Soul Cang's absorption speed was faster. After the two Fire Spirits were fully integrated, his strength, as expected, only increased to the peak of the late Seven-star Dou Saint stage.

This time, Soul Cang observed carefully and found that the energy of the two Fire Spirits had not been completely digested.

Soul Cang muttered: “Perhaps after devouring the remaining Void Swallowing Flame, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, and Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, my strength might reach the mid-Nine-star Dou Saint stage.”

Soul Cang smiled, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Because with mid-Nine-star Dou Saint strength, combined with the Fire Spirit Three Transformations, no matter how strong the suppression, it could at least push his realm to the peak of the Nine-star Dou Saint stage.

Relying on the special nature of his own flames, combined with the inheritance of the Purifying Lotus Saint, Soul Cang was confident in suppressing the Soul Emperor. Being able to achieve this was enough.

Once he broke through to Dou Emperor, he would then break open the passage, and with the return of the Origin Emperor Qi, all grudges would be resolved. Everyone would no longer be confined to the Dou Qi Continent but would look to a higher place.

Soul Cang’s figure slowly faded in the void.

Outside.

Yao Tianhuo, with his advantageous position, although not among the top tier of the Cang Alliance in strength, held a very high status. He was usually responsible for the basic construction of the Cang Alliance.

For example, the setup and maintenance of large formations, as well as some daily order and so on.

Since the last successful raid by Soul Origin Life and Soul Wind, the Cang Alliance’s grand formation was immediately upgraded. The main ideas came from Soul Cang, his suggestions after digesting the Purifying Lotus Saint’s inheritance.

Then, several Dou Saints of the Cang Alliance jointly created a spatial and defensive grand formation, with the Gama Empire as its core and surrounding cities as pillars.

Simply put, it was similar to a small clan realm; except for its inability to move, it was already akin to a clan realm in other aspects. Entry and exit required a special aura, otherwise, one could not step in, and forced entry would trigger an alarm.

This way, there would be no more incidents of people sneaking up from behind and taking hostages.

As if sensing something, Yao Tianhuo’s gaze shifted, seeing a figure slowly emerge, and he respectfully saluted: “Greetings, Alliance Leader.”

Standing in the void, Soul Cang raised his hand and pointed at him, chuckling: “Skyfire Venerable, hmm, it should be Skyfire Saint. Between you and me, there’s no need for so much formality.”

Yao Tianhuo smiled, the ease in his eyes not diminishing.

He knew that the Soul Cang before him was still the person he once knew, but the aura unconsciously emanating from him had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

Even though he had now become a Dou Saint, facing Soul Cang, he still felt a sense of being pressed down by a mountain, making it difficult to breathe.

This aura was not intentionally emitted by Soul Cang; rather, his strength had advanced too quickly, and Soul Cang himself hadn’t noticed it.

Noticing Yao Tianhuo’s unusual state, Soul Cang reacted, reining in his aura, and then Yao Tianhuo’s expression suddenly relaxed a great deal.

Soul Cang asked: “How is the grand formation coming along?”

When discussing Yao Tianhuo’s recent work, he regained his vitality, enthusiastically and meticulously explaining it to Soul Cang.

After all, although there were many strong individuals in the Cang Alliance at that time, Soul Cang still stood up to everyone and firmly entrusted this matter to Yao Tianhuo.

The core of the grand formation was the Demon Flame Space, with the capital of the Gama Empire as secondary.

So much time had passed, and the formation was nearing completion; its identification capabilities, among other things, had even officially begun to be used.

Soul Cang thought for a moment and asked: “Skyfire Venerable, do you have confidence?”

Compared to Skyfire Saint, Yao Tianhuo also preferred the title Skyfire Venerable. He perked up: “An attack from an Eight-star Dou Saint? Absolutely no problem.”

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

Soul Cang said: “Want to try?”

Yao Tianhuo nodded.

Soul Cang’s figure flickered, appearing high in the sky.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yao Tianhuo immediately issued orders. The others, upon learning that Soul Cang was going to test the grand formation, became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, all springing into action.

Because this Alliance Leader was renowned. Whether it was Yao Chen’s or Yao Tianhuo’s fortunes, they had all witnessed them and envied them deeply.

Among them, what made them green with envy was Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family. Hooking up with the Alliance Leader was like a great roc soaring on the wind in a single day, his strength rapidly catching up to the peak powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent.

Everyone orderly injected their power into the grand formation, then looked up, their gazes full of expectation, at the figure in the sky.

The matters of the Medicine Clan and the Lei Clan were no longer a secret to the Cang Alliance.

Everyone clearly understood that war was imminent, and the quality and strength of the formation concerned their own lives and the lives of their families.

Therefore, they all cherished this opportunity for experimentation.

If there were problems, they would fix them; if there were deficiencies, they would improve them!

Better to discover and solve them early!

It was far better than finding loopholes in the formation when the actual battle began, by which time it would be too late to regret.

Five Fire Spirits rushed out from Soul Cang’s body, each occupying a position. Power emerged from beneath his feet, linking with each other, and a five-pointed star quickly formed.

The Five-rounds Separating Fire Formation appeared, the firelight surged, and the sky suddenly brightened, as if set ablaze.

Then, a scorching pillar of light, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, crashed down, striking a city covered by a colorful barrier.

Boom!

A roar seemed to echo in everyone’s ears. Ripple-like patterns appeared on the surface of the barrier, and energy ripples spread out from the point of impact.

Yao Tianhuo put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: “This is the Dou Skill I created, the Five Round Li Fire Method! Everyone, look closely, isn’t it awesome?”

The next moment, laughter erupted all around.

“Can’t even break the grand formation, what kind of dog-shit Dou Skill is that?”

“The Alliance Leader’s strength is terrifying. If he used a different move, he could definitely break it.”

Yao Tianhuo’s smile abruptly froze. He glared angrily in the direction of the voices: “Nonsense! It’s clearly this grand formation that’s too strong!”

The laughter around grew louder.

That the grand formation could withstand an attack from Soul Cang, everyone understood that its strength was sufficient.

After all, their Alliance Leader’s strength was already among the top tier of the Dou Qi Continent.

And such powerhouses, if they were truly to fight, would probably not have the chance to attack the grand formation; they belonged to a stronger battlefield.
