Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes, black flames swirling within them. His aura, at this moment, became as deep as the sea and as vast as the sky.
Nine dazzling spirit rings rose sequentially from beneath his feet, each emanating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.
Deep gold, blood red gold, brilliant gold, black and white gold, cyan gold, white black, green gold, sky blue gold, deep blue gold.
Nine spirit rings, each with a different color and shimmering light, reflected each other.
Layers of energy ripples spread out like a tangible substance, making Fang Yang appear as if a Divinity had descended upon the World, exuding an indescribable majesty.
The moment the nine rings appeared, the entire space trembled.
The calm surface of the Lake of Life rippled without wind, creating layers of waves. The surrounding towering ancient trees rustled their branches and leaves.
"Fang Yang..."
A clear, cold voice sounded.
Gu Yuena walked slowly, her silver hair flowing gently like a waterfall.
Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan followed behind her, their gazes all focused on Fang Yang, with varying degrees of surprise in their eyes.
A hint of shock flashed deep within Gu Yuena's purple eyes.
As the Silver Dragon King, she could feel how terrifying the aura Fang Yang was emitting at this moment was.
It was a power that transcended all living beings, even making her, a Divine Rank expert, feel a sense of dread.
Na'er's expression was calm, but hidden ripples stirred in her heterochromatic eyes, as if she was contemplating something.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes.
She tilted her head, observing the spirit rings around Fang Yang, and mumbled, "The colors of these spirit rings are so unique..."
Fang Yang slowly reined in his aura, and the nine spirit rings gradually faded. The black flames in his eyes also slowly subsided, returning to their usual depth.
He looked at the three who had approached, a faint smile on his face.
"Fang Yang, your current strength?" Gu Yuena asked, her voice filled with concern.
"Level ninety, Titled Douluo."
Fang Yang spoke calmly, his tone as placid as water.
At this moment, the shore of the Lake of Life fell into a brief silence, with only the subtle sound of the breeze rustling over the lake.
Titled Douluo, this was a Realm countless Spirit Masters dreamed of, and for Fang Yang to reach this height at such a young age was truly astonishing.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly, "Then what next for us?"
"Tang Sect, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Fang Yang spoke the name of the place, his gaze as deep as an abyss.
"Alright."
Gu Yuena nodded upon hearing this.
"Na'er, you stay and accompany Xiao Yan," Fang Yang said to Na'er, his tone gentle.
"Okay, big brother."
Na'er nodded obediently, an unhidden trace of disappointment flashing in her heterochromatic eyes.
Xu Xiaoyan stood quietly beside Na'er, not saying much.
Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a plan for the Tang Sect?"
"Of course."
Fang Yang's eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness in his voice, "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well originally belonged to the Soul Beast Clan; it was only taken by Sea God Tang San twenty thousand years ago."
"Now, it's time for it to return to its rightful owner."
He paused, then added, "If nothing unexpected happens, the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are slumbering deep within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"I understand."
Gu Yuena nodded, already having an idea in her mind.
Fang Yang said, "But before we go, I still need to make some preparations."
"Alright, I'll go make arrangements. We'll leave when you're ready." Gu Yuena nodded, her silver hair gently swaying in the breeze.
Then, she turned and left.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan quickly followed Gu Yuena's footsteps.
Na'er then quietly walked to Fang Yang's side and whispered, "Big brother, you're not even taking me..."
Her voice carried a hint of grievance, and the glimmering water in her heterochromatic eyes made it hard to refuse her.
Fang Yang reached out and gently ruffled her hair, comforting her softly, "Na'er, be good. This operation isn't convenient. I'll definitely take you next time."
Na'er nodded gently. Although she still felt a little disappointed, she understood Fang Yang's meaning.
She looked into Fang Yang's deep eyes and whispered, "Then big brother, you must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Yes, alright."
Fang Yang smiled slightly, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.
"Then big brother, I'll go now too," Na'er said, reluctantly turning and leaving.
The shore of the Lake of Life returned to tranquility once more.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into his body.
The next moment, his consciousness instantly sank into the internal space of the strange fire pearl.
The World before his eyes began to twist and change. When Fang Yang opened his eyes again, the familiar Fire Square stood before him.
Twenty-three towering giant pillars stood majestically, each Binding different colored flames, emanating heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
Fang Yang walked slowly across the Fire Square, his gaze sweeping over the remaining fourteen pillars.
He needed to devour the ninth strange fire to complete the ultimate number of nine and achieve true Perfection.
"The ninth strange fire, what should I choose?"
Fang Yang fell into deep thought. The ultimate number of nine represented the limit, the peak, Perfection, making this choice crucial.
Finally, his gaze settled on a pillar Binding a bone-white flame.
The flame was entirely bone-white, and when it burned, it lacked the usual scorching heat of common flames; instead, it emitted a chilling, bone-piercing aura, as if from the deepest abyss of the Nine Nethers.
"Eleventh on the Strange Fire Ranking — Bone Spirit Cold Fire!"
Fang Yang spoke calmly, his voice echoing in the empty Fire Square.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire was born in places of extreme cold and extreme Yin, and could only be encountered during the hundred-year cycle of the sun and moon's alternation.
It was entirely bone-white and possessed the special ability of both ice and fire, capable of freezing a thousand li, turning enemies into ice sculptures, and then subjecting them to extreme heat.
Subsequently, Fang Yang sat cross-legged before the towering giant pillar.
With a thought, the strange fire pearl within him began to tremble violently.
The ancient runes inscribed on the surface of the pearl seemed to come alive, emitting a mysterious light.
"Unseal!"
Accompanied by a low shout.
"Crack... crack..."
The ancient Seal runes Binding the Bone Spirit Cold Fire on the towering giant pillar shattered inch by inch in response, making crisp cracking sounds.
The moment the Seal was broken, the bone-white strange fire suddenly erupted!
A bone-chilling coldness instantly swept through the entire strange fire space, and fine ice crystals condensed in the air.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire condensed into a bone-white fire Dragon, letting out a heaven-shaking roar, and lunged towards Fang Yang.
"Refine instantly!"
Fang Yang's spirit power burst forth, and his entire aura became incredibly terrifying at this moment.
A gigantic Flame Avatar slowly emerged behind him; it was his Flame Avatar, formed by condensing the Origin of multiple strange fires.
The Flame Avatar stretched out its palm, carrying a World-destroying might, and grabbed towards the raging Bone Spirit Cold Fire.
The Bone Spirit Cold Fire struggled frantically, bone-white flames splashing everywhere, freezing even space in their path. But under the suppression of the Flame Avatar, its resistance gradually became powerless.
Time passed minute by minute, and Fang Yang's aura grew deeper.
When the last wisp of bone-white flame was completely absorbed into his body, the entire strange fire space suddenly fell silent.
He slowly opened his eyes, a black stream of light flashing within them, then returning to calm.
"Bone Spirit Cold Fire, successfully devoured!"
