But for Xiao Yan, these were completely different.
His comprehension was unknown many times higher than a Dou Di's, so he could naturally tailor a "clan pattern" for himself.
After more than a full day, the Flame Seal's energy completely surged into the golden flame lotus within the Dou Qi Cyclone.
Petal after petal fell off, leaving only a golden flame pistil.
Although this flame was a newcomer, its temperature was strong enough to make the various flame fusion bodies within the Dou Qi Cyclone tremble.
It wasn't that this Golden Emperor Burning Heavenly Flame directly grew to maturity under the Flame Seal's energy.
Rather, the abilities among Heavenly Flame varied. The biggest characteristic of the Golden Emperor Burning Heavenly Flame, and a very pure one, was its terrifying temperature!
Just then, Xiao Yan's swollen black robe seemed to deflate, slowly settling on his body.
"Six-star Dou Huang! He just broke through like that..."
Watching Xiao Yan, who had effortlessly broken through a star level in the Dou Huang realm, Xun'er couldn't help but gasp in shock.
While breaking through in the Dou Huang realm was not incredibly difficult, a breakthrough like this, without the aid of pills or Heaven and Earth energy, almost silently, was extremely rare even in the countless years of the Dou Qi Continent's development.
As the last wisp of energy entered the Golden Emperor Burning Heavenly Flame, the Heavenly Flame condensation process ended. The red light on Xiao Yan's brow gradually receded, revealing a strange rune that looked like a blood-colored small sword.
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air heavily, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
Xun'er was truly his lucky star; not only did she accelerate his comprehension of the Blood Forbidden Seal, but she also allowed him to comprehend a Heavenly Flame like the Golden Emperor Burning Heavenly Flame.
"Xun'er, someone's here. Let's go meet them."
Getting up and pulling the girl out of the room, Xiao Yan unfolded his Flying Dou Skill: Eagle's Wings behind him and flew towards the Xiao family's back mountain.
"Who is it?" Xun'er was very puzzled. Who would require her to come along?
Moreover, her soul power was not inferior to most alchemists, yet she didn't sense any powerful aura.
Rapidly sweeping past the Xiao family's back mountain and reaching above the sea of clouds, Xun'er's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Only then did she realize who it was.
It was them?
Xun'er turned her head to look at his handsome face, a brilliant smile blossoming on her cheeks, feeling even happier than when her own strength increased.
Brother Xiao Yan's soul power was actually so strong! It was probably already close to Mortal-tier perfection!
Even in the Central Plains Region, he would be a very rare and powerful alchemist.
Speaking of which, he had to thank Protector Tie and Protector Wu. If it weren't for devouring their soul power, Xiao Yan, who had quite heavy cultivation tasks, might not have reached his current soul power level.
Flying over the sea of clouds and approaching the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan and Xun'er stopped.
A large number of wind-breaking sounds rose from the sky, and dozens of tiny black dots appeared on the horizon.
The path of these black dots was very clear, heading directly towards Xiao Yan and Xun'er's location.
As the sharp wind-breaking sounds grew stronger, a moment later, the black dots rapidly grew larger under their gaze. Finally, they appeared within visible range.
These black dots were not human figures, but a dozen or so pitch-black magical beasts, each with a long silver unicorn horn, over a foot long, on their heads.
On the unicorn horn, strange patterns were covered, and even faintly, sounds of wind and thunder could be heard emanating from it.
On the magical beasts' backs, there were also extremely wide four wings. As their wings vibrated, strong winds whistled down from the sky.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Flying magical beasts are inherently rare, and to also possess strong combat power makes them even rarer.
Only a terrifying power like the Ancient Clan could directly dispatch such a team of flying magical beasts of considerable rank and species.
Each flying magical beast had a human figure standing on its back. These figures were all dressed in purple-black robes, expressionless, their gazes shifting slightly like sharp blade edges, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Hehe, Miss Xun'er, we finally found you." The leader completely ignored Xiao Yan on the side and smiled as he looked at Xun'er.
This man was not old; he looked about twenty, similar to Mo Li from the Cloud Mist Sect, but his strength had already reached the Dou Ling level, countless times stronger than the Dou Zhe Mo Li.
Xun'er said coldly, "Who are you?"
"Black Annihilation Army's Ling Quan, ordered to escort Young Lady back!" The man, who called himself Ling Quan, cupped his fists respectfully to Xun'er.
"I said I'd go back myself. You can leave," Although the other party had come from afar, Xun'er showed no gratitude for their hardship, her voice imbued with a coldness.
"Lord Clan Ancestor commanded it, and we can only obey," Ling Quan smiled slightly.
"So it's him." Knowing the man's identity, Xiao Yan said, "If she tells you to go back, then go back. Don't you also have to obey your Young Lady's commands?"
"What are you?!" Ling Quan's gaze hardened, and he shouted in a deep voice.
As Ling Quan's shout fell, the dozens of people behind him, standing motionless like sculptures on the backs of the Four-winged Unicorn Beasts, also instantly turned cold, and at the same time, erupted with a powerful aura, overwhelmingly charging towards Xiao Yan.
These people were all members of the Black Annihilation Army. Their combat power far exceeded their own level, and combined, they were enough to hold down a general Dou Huang powerhouse.
"Stop!" Xun'er's pretty face changed, and she shouted sharply.
Xiao Yan waved his hand casually, and an invisible force spread out. Ling Quan and the others only felt as if their power had struck cotton; their overwhelming strength had no effect whatsoever.
Ling Quan and the others' gazes were as sharp as knife points, locking onto Xiao Yan.
Based on their origins, they could naturally tell that Xiao Yan was not a powerhouse who used Dou Qi Transformation Wings; he simply got lucky and obtained a Flying Dou Skill.
Ling Quan's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Xiao Yan's face for a moment, suddenly startled, and gently tapped his forehead with his finger. Then, he suddenly said with a half-smile:
"If I'm not mistaken, this must be that genius of the Xiao family, Young Master Xiao Yan? I've seen your portrait."
"However, no matter how high your aptitude is, without sufficient resources, you can only be called a genius in this remote Jia Ma Empire." Ling Quan chuckled, his voice containing undisguised contempt.
The current Xiao family had long lost its former glory.
Hearing Ling Quan's disdain for the Xiao family in his words, Xiao Yan said faintly, "If you want to take her away, come at me together."
"Hmm?" Ling Quan's brows suddenly furrowed, and an inexplicable anger instantly surged in his heart.
Did he think he was some Dou Huang powerhouse?! How dare he tell a Black Annihilation Army squad to attack together!
"You're seeking death!" Ling Quan shouted angrily, flipped his hand to take out a long spear, and gestured to his subordinates, preparing to launch an attack and teach this person a lesson.
