152: Chapter 152 Xun'er is a Saint!

"Boom!"

The sea of lava, which had been blasted into nothingness by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, was now surging madly from beneath the ground and from all directions, once again wreaking havoc in this scorching space.

In this space, the two figures who had originally been sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm were enveloped by a black flame a hundred feet in size. The flame burned fiercely, and wave after wave of immensely destructive power seeped out from within, forcibly distorting the Void Realm.

Within this flame, two figures could faintly be seen sitting cross-legged. Outside the figures, there was a layer of pink flame. Enveloped by this pink flame, black and golden flames intertwined, continuously absorbing the pink flame outside their bodies to refine it.

However, this layer of pink flame outside their bodies was only a part of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame; the main bulk was what was constantly being released inside Xiao Yan.

The time the Purification Lotus Demon Flame had existed was immeasurable, and the energy it contained was naturally astonishingly vast. As Xiao Yan and Xun'er devoured it like sponges soaking up water, the energy gradually shrank, while the auras of Xiao Yan and Xun'er also surged continuously.

There was not a shred of Life Qi in the scorching space; only the occasional pillars of lava erupting from the sea of lava made any sound.

Dullness and monotony were the main themes of this world.

Finally, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame was refined. A vast energy, like liquid, suddenly spread through Xiao Yan's body like a flood, constantly rushing toward the Meridians within his body. His flesh, muscles, bones, cells, and so on were all devouring this energy madly.

"Rumble!"

Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky above the two, and the sea of lava surged with massive waves; this was the natural phenomenon that accompanied the refining of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

This massive energy was different from the destructive energy the Purification Lotus Demon Flame had previously emitted at will; it contained the thick Origin aura of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

After this massive and pure energy was refined by Xiao Yan, a portion was sent into Xun'er's body. This portion of energy entered Xun'er's body to be absorbed, and much of it remained to return to Xiao Yan's body. These returning energies, after being refined within Xun'er's body, not only became even purer but also gained some of the aura of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame.

Accompanied by this method of refining, Xiao Yan and Xun'er formed a perfect energy cycle, and the vast, endless energy washed over their bodies again and again.

Xun'er, impacted by this energy, saw her aura rise steadily, continuously making a Breakthrough in her Realm, while Xiao Yan, having absorbed the vast majority of the energy, showed no other changes besides his energy becoming more robust.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The pink flame that had been enveloped by Xiao Yan's black flame had now completely lost its resistance. Threads of crystal layers, shimmering with a faint light, slowly emerged around the two and then wrapped around them.

This refining process lasted for a full three months, and the energy within Xiao Yan's body had long since reached an extreme where it could go no further; the barrier of Dou Sheng seemed as if it could be completely shattered with a light touch.

However, seeing Xun'er still closing her eyes and refining energy, Xiao Yan smiled, closed his eyes again, and continued to use the excess energy to strengthen his physical body.

In fact, since over a month ago, the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body had already condensed to its limit, and no matter how much more he absorbed, he could not achieve any obvious improvement.

Therefore, Xiao Yan began to put all his effort into refining energy to help Xun'er refine energy and achieve a Breakthrough. Relying on Xun'er's incredibly terrifying Bloodline talent, it seemed as if as long as there was enough energy, she could keep making a Breakthrough, beginning to rise continuously at an extremely exaggerated speed.

The energy of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, after being refined by Xiao Yan, had a small portion enter his body to nourish his physical body, while the remaining majority entered Xun'er's body. Since Xun'er was clearly unable to absorb all of this energy, when it entered Xiao Yan's body again, it was refined by Xiao Yan once more, repeating the previous process.

Accompanied by this refining, another three months passed, and Xun'er finally used this immensely vast energy to achieve a Breakthrough to the Semi-Saint Realm!

Feeling the power within Xun'er that was more than a hundred times greater, Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes. In those pitch-black eyes, one could clearly see a hint of joy, but it lasted only for an extremely short instant before disappearing.

"Xun'er, I am going to make a Breakthrough in my Realm next." Xiao Yan's voice rang softly in Xun'er's ears.

"Xiao Yan-gege, are you ready?"

Xun'er's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her autumn-water-clear eyes, smiling sweetly.

"Mm."

Sensing that Xun'er had stopped refining energy, Xiao Yan withdrew his energy and began to prepare for the Breakthrough.

Seeing this, Xun'er stood up and left the area, allowing Xiao Yan to make his Breakthrough in peace.

Seeing Xun'er walk away, several flame Clones that had been acting as Protectors in the distance came to Xun'er's side and constructed an immensely sturdy energy barrier.

With Xiao Yan's current strength, if he succeeded in his Breakthrough, even a trace of fluctuation released inadvertently could produce terrifying power; therefore, it was safer for Xun'er to be further away during the Breakthrough.

He slowly closed his eyes, carefully experiencing that mysterious and unfathomable feeling. Afterward, his entire body's Dou Qi was stimulated, and all the energy within his body surged forth, completely transforming Xiao Yan's body into an ocean of energy. As this energy surged, Xiao Yan's understanding of that mysterious and unfathomable feeling became even clearer.

With a movement of his mind, it was as if he had connected to all the energy between heaven and earth. Invisibly, the Dou Qi within his body instantly boiled, undergoing a heaven-turning and earth-shattering transformation. The quality and quantity of his Dou Qi, following this connected energy, rapidly and continuously surged...

Not only his Dou Qi, but even his physical body continued to emit radiance with the influx of this energy, continuously strengthening his already immensely powerful body until it, like his Dou Qi, underwent a terrifying qualitative change.

During this process, Xiao Yan's Soul Power also continued to surge, seemingly touching a brand-new level, yet it still had not departed from the Heaven Realm Great Perfection Realm.

Making a Breakthrough to Dou Sheng did not have the kind of natural phenomena one might imagine; everything seemed plain and simple. It was just that his perception of the power of heaven and earth had suddenly become more sensitive, and his Dou Qi had become more vast and profound.

Of course, it was not just his Dou Qi; his Soul and physical body had all undergone terrifying changes. Within these short few hours, the Breakthrough had already ended, and Xiao Yan's strength had reached an immensely terrifying level.

If he faced his former self with the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, without using any Clones, he would be enough to defeat a version of himself that possessed dozens of Seven-Star Dou Sheng Clones!

"Undoubtedly the Early Stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, perhaps even exceeding it...

Although my individual Realm has not reached its peak, I can at least manifest seventy-two Exotic Fire Clones at this moment; even a powerhouse at the Late Stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng would absolutely not be my opponent!"

Xun'er in the distance, seeing that Xiao Yan had finished his Breakthrough, fluttered toward Xiao Yan. Her green dress carried wafts of fragrance, outlining her slender willow waist.

Watching the beautiful figure in green coming toward him, Xiao Yan revealed a hearty smile.

"Xiao Yan-gege, what does it feel like to make a Breakthrough to Dou Sheng? With Xiao Yan-gege's current strength, are you already invincible!

Xun'er put her hands behind her back, bent her willow waist slightly, and looked at Xiao Yan with her enchanting, curved eyes, smiling.

She had always known Xiao Yan's true Realm and strength, and regarding this Breakthrough to Dou Sheng, Xun'er was clearly also aware of what it meant.

"Haha, in this world, I'm afraid only you, Xun'er, understand me the best!"

Xiao Yan looked at the beautiful and lovely Xun'er before him with a smile, reached out a large hand to pinch her exquisite, flawless chin, and pressed his large mouth onto hers.

"Mmph~"

Xun'er, whose small mouth was blocked by Xiao Yan, struggled shyly for a moment before letting her beloved do as he pleased.

...

Three days and three nights later, Xiao Yan stood in the Void Realm with a smile on his lips, with Xun'er in a purple dress behind him.
