The terrifying energy pressure made Medusa instantly channel the vibrant seven-colored Dou Qi within her body to protect her curvaceous figure.
Being in the eye of the energy vortex, the pressure Medusa felt was hundreds of times greater than the pressure on the snake-people in the royal city.
"How can there be such a huge commotion?!" Medusa looked in astonishment at Xiao Yan, who was not too far away at the center of the energy.
From her perception, she clearly sensed that the energy from heaven and earth that Xiao Yan's breakthrough was stirring up had covered the entire royal city.
The snake-people royal city was built after they migrated to the Tagor Desert. It might not be as grand as the capitals of some empires, but it was still a city.
She had also witnessed the breakthroughs of many strong individuals, and even if they were all added up, it still seemed to not be on par with Xiao Yan's.
Of course, the breakthrough scenes she had witnessed did not include breakthroughs to the Dou Zong realm.
However, she still remembered the feeling of her own breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm; while the commotion was not small, it was still a far cry from what Xiao Yan was causing.
After a moment, Medusa found that the already terrifying heaven and earth energy was still growing stronger.
In this environment, the Dou Qi in her body was being consumed at a high rate, and the pressure was increasing with time.
"I wonder when Xiao Yan will be able to break through if I continue to hold on?" Medusa took a deep look at Xiao Yan, who was standing like a statue, twisted her waist, and immediately transformed into a streak of colorful light, rushing outward.
Medusa had evolved into the Heaven-Swallowing Python. Although she was still unstable for now, this ancient magical beast, the Heaven-Swallowing Python, was of the fire attribute.
This was precisely why she could take that exceptionally precious fire-attribute item, the Amethyst Winged Lion's Co-creation.
The reason she couldn't bear the pressure was not because the surrounding heaven and earth energy from Xiao Yan's breakthrough had been refined into a fire attribute, making the temperature extremely high, like a sea of fire.
It was because there was simply too much energy here, and the pressure it formed was enough to make even a Dou Zong expert unable to withstand it.
If she were to leave this area and stay within the royal city, this pressure would be reduced by thousands of times.
Inside the snake-people royal city, countless snake-people were foolishly looking up at the constantly swirling heaven and earth energy in the sky.
Even from a distance of thousands of meters, the materialized energy cloud still made the snake-people feel stunned and speechless.
The huge city was silent. After looking up for a long time, all the snake-people swallowed hard, their mouths dry. Emotions of fear, surprise, and envy spread from the depths of the hearts of different snake-people.
"The heaven and earth energy is so vast that it has materialized? What is going on?!" Most snake-people knew that breakthroughs would stir up energy and cause some minor abnormalities.
But when there was too much energy, it was inevitable to feel fear.
If so much heaven and earth energy were to enter their bodies, it would be able to expand and kill them within a single breath.
In the crowd, Flower Snake, dressed in a red brocade dress, was particularly surprised: "Which expert from the snake-people clan is breaking through again? When Her Majesty the Queen broke through, there wasn't even this much commotion."
The great commander of the snake-people clan, who was still recovering from his punishment, looked up at the sky for a long time and sighed: "If I could continuously absorb this kind of energy, I would probably be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm sooner or later."
The source of the snake-people's words, Xiao Yan's body, was like a black hole operating non-stop, continuously absorbing the drawn-in heaven and earth energy.
The cultivation method ran almost crazily. A special domain seemed to have formed around Xiao Yan. As soon as the heaven and earth energy entered the area around the island, the impurities would be refined out of the heaven and earth energy.
All of Xiao Yan's meridians and pores were absorbing this pure heaven and earth energy. Then, under the guidance of the cultivation method, it traveled rapidly along the meridians and was purified once more.
The almost pure white heaven and earth energy had already been purified into a liquid after running through the cultivation method once.
Under this kind of whale-like absorption, the "Endless Flame Domain" space, which was a combination of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi vortex and the Soul-Gathering, gradually accumulated flowing energy water.
Looking inward at the gradually forming ocean of energy in his body, Xiao Yan was extremely satisfied with the effect of the Endless Flame Domain secret method.
At this time, within the Endless Flame Domain space, the Green Lotus Core Flame had almost become the center of the space.
On top of this wild Heavenly Flame, at the heart of the crystal clear green light lotus flower was a brilliant, embryonic Emperor Flame.
The energy absorbed and refined by the cultivation method surged like a tide in the flame domain space.
Whenever the materialized liquid energy in the flame domain space traveled to this Heavenly Flame, the light of the Green Lotus Core Flame would strengthen a little.
With a rich green light flashing, the heart of the Green Lotus Core Flame was drawing in this energy, which was pure to the liquid level.
Absorbing energy of a higher quality than that refined from the magma world, several petals of the Green Lotus Core Flame began to slowly extend and solidify at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Following that, the embryonic Emperor Flame also absorbed the ocean-like energy.
It was called an ocean, but what was here was not water; it was essentially a waterless ocean.
In addition, eleven Ground Fire Lotus Seeds hovered around the Heavenly Flame in the Endless Flame Domain.
They were neither too far away nor too close.
These eleven Ground Fire Lotus Seeds were extremely rare fire-attribute items, and only one could condense every hundred years.
If not for the deterrence of Xiao Yan's powerful soul, they would have long been refined and absorbed by the Green Lotus Core Flame and the embryonic Emperor Flame.
The Green Lotus Core Flame was a wild Heavenly Flame, which had a significant difference from a self-condensed Heavenly Flame.
If it were a Heavenly Flame self-condensed by Xiao Yan, it would have already been absorbed and merged by the embryonic Emperor Flame.
But this Green Lotus Core Flame was naturally created and nurtured by heaven and earth. And during the fusion, it had gone through Xiao Yan's cultivation of the Endless Flame Domain secret method, so it did not get immediately absorbed by the embryonic Emperor Flame and was able to form independently.
Seeing the situation inside his body clearly, Xiao Yan knew that if he were to completely integrate the Green Lotus Core Flame into the embryonic Emperor Flame, making the two one, his breakthrough time would be shortened a little.
"Breaking through to the Dou Zong requires an extremely vast amount of energy. Even in the special environment of the Heaven's Eye Mountain Range, it takes several days. In the snake-people royal city... the time required will surely be longer."
Cultivation on the realm for Xiao Yan was not difficult and often happened naturally.
But at this time, he was at a major critical point of cultivation method conversion, and Xiao Yan was also a little tangled in his heart.
Although his cultivation method level was not low, having reached the quasi-Heaven level, his body had also undergone a huge change and required a massive amount of energy to break through.
This made the advantage of the cultivation method not very obvious.
As for the complete fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the energy gained would not be much.
While thinking about how to break through, Xiao Yan did not neglect his study of the cultivation method.
Such a vast heaven and earth energy situation was not common, and the Endless Flame Domain secret method had just been successfully cultivated, making this a very rare opportunity.
