The moment the pill was formed, the depth in Xiao Yan's black eyes suddenly converged. His expression was extremely focused. The seal in his hand suddenly changed, and he let out a low shout.
Instantly, the black and white flames within the cauldron suddenly surged, almost filling the entire cauldron.
Just then, at the center of the cauldron, the pale white pill suddenly emitted a point of light of the same color as the pill itself.
The point of light was like a living thing, slowly wriggling. With this subtle movement, waves of energy ripples rapidly spread out, and the terrifying power caused the entire stone room to tremble.
A black light flickered on the Bone Flame Ring, and several puppets shot out instantly, scattering to every corner of the stone room to stabilize it and prevent its destruction.
Only these high-level puppets of the Dou Huang and Dou Zong level could stop the destructive energy in a flash.
The pale white point of light's energy was forced back around the cauldron. The pale white light gathered into a ball, as if something was being brewed.
After a few breaths of time, the point of light suddenly became the smallest it could be!
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion sounded out of nowhere. Immediately, a pale white beam of light, the size of a millstone, shot through the roof of the room and into the sky!
For a time, the wind and clouds changed. The pale white beam in the night sky was particularly conspicuous and did not dissipate for a long time.
Xiao Yan looked at the huge beam of light, his brows slightly furrowed. The power of this pill had exceeded some of his expectations.
His eyes focused, and Xiao Yan waved his hand. Immediately, the beam of light trembled rapidly. After a moment, a wisp of pale white light flew down from the beam and finally hovered above his palm.
As the pale white light dissipated, its true form was revealed. The pale white pill, which was originally the size of a longan, was now extraordinarily delicate.
On the surface of the pill, there was a lifelike flame-shaped pattern. Even though it was made from a pool of Ice Spirit Cold Spring, the pill did not release any cold air, which was very strange.
As this pill detached from the beam of light, the huge beam seemed to have lost its energy support.
After trembling for a few moments, the beam of light gradually became illusory, and then it completely dissipated as if it had never appeared.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly become bright just now?"
The Snake-People guards looked at the drastic change in the sky with great astonishment.
After the pill was refined, Xiao Yan flicked his finger and took out a Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill from the Bone Flame Ring. He opened his mouth and swallowed it and the 'Extreme Cold Pill' into his stomach.
The Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill was his improved version of the Emperor Rank Pill formula, and its effects were much stronger than the Emperor Rank Pill.
The Emperor Rank Pill could only give a Dou Huang expert a chance to raise their strength by one to two stars, with some additional effects of strengthening the meridians and bones.
However, the Emperor Rank Star-Ascension Pill could allow a Dou Huang expert to raise their strength by three stars with a hundred percent success rate. The effect of strengthening the meridians and bones was significantly enhanced, and it could even improve the cultivation aptitude of the user.
Of course, this improvement in aptitude could not cause a fundamental change in a person.
However, for a pill that primarily increased strength, having this kind of added benefit was extremely rare.
The Emperor Rank Pill and the Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill used vastly different ingredients, so they could be used together.
The only pity was that because the difference was so great, the ingredients for the Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill were difficult to gather completely.
Xiao Yan only had one left, and he saved it for this crucial moment.
It was not only to improve his realm but also to help with the creation of a Heavenly Flame.
After the two pills entered his throat, they did not immediately release energy like previous high-grade pills. Instead, they seemed to turn into a cold current and a hot current that rapidly flowed downward.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged and formed a mysterious hand seal. Dou Qi surged rapidly through his meridians. The temperature on the surface of his body slowly rose. In an instant, his entire aura changed, as if he had transformed into a pill cauldron.
In alchemy, there was pill refining with a cauldron and without a cauldron.
To achieve the latter, one needed extremely strong alchemy skills.
On this basis, Xiao Yan had developed an alchemy technique that used his body as a cauldron.
The "Green Lotus World Creation Scripture" was said to be a cultivation technique, but its essence was more like a powerful alchemy technique that used the body as a cauldron and Heavenly Flames as ingredients to refine a stronger item.
The two energy currents flowed downward. After they entered the Dou Qi Vortex, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. His powerful soul power was then unleashed, forcing them into his Spiritual Storage.
The creation of the Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame was different from the Heavenly Flames he had created through pure enlightenment. It was also very different from the Netherworld Poison Flame and the Golden Emperor Burning Heavenly Flame, which were created with the help of certain forces.
It was a flame with both coldness and heat. If it stayed in the Dou Qi Vortex, even with the harmonization of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, a lot of energy would be lost, which would reduce the power of the Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame after it was created.
The Spiritual Storage was the place where it would stay for a while.
When the two energies entered the Spiritual Storage, Xiao Yan immediately mobilized the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame to put pressure on them.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame's power was not inferior to a wild Heavenly Flame from the moment it was born, and its power had been further enhanced through subsequent nurturing.
Furthermore, his flame control skills had been improving at a very fast pace during multiple pill refining sessions. Xiao Yan was able to use the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which was not typically used alone, with great ease.
The fiery red flame seemed to carry the might of a myriad of beasts, enveloping the two energy currents in a sweeping manner.
Under this pressure, the Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill, as a rank-up pill, made a hissing sound. Its originally vast and pure energy was further purified and showed a tendency to slowly seep into Xiao Yan's body.
Having seen the microscopic world of the body, Xiao Yan knew very well that every medicine has some toxins.
To help with the upgrade of his created Heavenly Flame, Xiao Yan had consumed too many medicines containing vast fire-attribute energy.
It was only because he had too many Heavenly Flames in his body, including the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which healed him at all times, that his body had not shown any signs of collapsing.
Therefore, even after he reached the Dou Huang level, he did not immediately use the two pills that could increase his strength.
He was extremely careful when taking another pill, even with the "Vajra Four Positive" secret technique, which purified impurities from the body.
This was also an important reason why he was pursuing the Super-Fallen Heart Flame.
Only the Super-Fallen Heart Flame could cleanse the impurities left behind by the various pills in his body.
The energy of the Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill was quite gentle, but the energy of the Extreme Cold Pill was vastly different.
When ice and fire meet, if there are no surprises, it is naturally a collision where both sides are destroyed.
Before the energy of the Extreme Cold Pill was greatly depleted, Xiao Yan's soul power suddenly forced the purified power of the Emperor Rank Star-Ascension Pill into the pale white energy of the Extreme Cold Pill.
The pale white energy of the Extreme Cold Pill, which was fully fighting against the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, was completely caught off guard by this sneak attack. It was momentarily stunned.
His familiarity with the Yin-Yang Dual Flame played a huge role at this moment.
Xiao Yan harmonized the yin and yang, guiding the energy of the Emperor Rank Star-Ascension Pill to form a protective film, shielding the energy of the Extreme Cold Pill within it.
With this layer of protection, the scorching temperature of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame could only bake the outermost layer and could not affect the inside.
However, this was not a success; it was only the beginning.
While controlling the energies of the two pills, Xiao Yan greatly increased the temperature of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, making the two energies feel like a small boat on a vast sea. They were forced to huddle together to resist the fierce winds and waves.
During this relatively long process, Xiao Yan's control over the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame became more and more proficient, even showing a trend of breaking through.
The most well-known uses of Heavenly Flames were the Angry Buddha Lotus and its derivatives, as well as the Three Profound Transformations of Heavenly Fire.
In addition, there were also Han Feng's Sea Flame Halberd, the Sea Heart Illusory Beast, and even stronger Heavenly Flame spirits like Little Yi.
Although Han Feng had a very bad reputation, his application of the Sea Heart Flame had some unique aspects.
With only half of the Burning Mantra, he could not control the Heavenly Flame perfectly, but he was able to develop two unique ways of using one type of Heavenly Flame.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame gathered many beast flames and had an inseparable relationship with magical beasts. It was most suitable to use it to condense beasts.
The Xuan-level high-grade fighting skill, the Roaring Lion Chant, which he obtained in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, played a role.
[Based on your deductions on the Roaring Lion Chant and other shape-shifting fighting skills and the form of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, you have a sudden realization. You have comprehended the secret technique, The Roaring Lion Heart.]
[The Roaring Lion Heart: A secret technique for using Heavenly Flames, with the greatest power when used with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. When the secret technique is activated, the flame instantly turns into an unrivaled roaring lion beast. The sound of its roar has the effect of intimidating the soul.]
After the secret technique was comprehended, Xiao Yan's hand seals changed instantly. The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame in the Spiritual Storage space was subjected to even more extreme control.
The fiery red flame surged, and in an instant, it seemed to turn into a vast sea of fire. Gurgling bubbles burst on the sea of fire.
Immediately, the enormous sea of fire violently surged, and the flames roared and swirled. Finally, they indistinctly condensed into a huge, fiery red lion.
Apart from the color, this lion was very similar in appearance to the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Its fiery red wings covered the sky and the sun. The fierce beast head had a spiral-shaped horn. Where its huge claws stepped, even the space showed obvious scratch marks.
"Roar!"
The moment the huge lion appeared, its wide mouth suddenly opened, and it let out a heaven-shaking roar.
Using this secret technique, just one roar was enough to make the energies of the Extreme Cold Pill and the Dou Huang Star-Ascension Pill tightly intertwine. It took the combination of the two energies to maintain their existence.
The Roaring Lion Heart's wings suddenly vibrated, and it shot out a jet of fire like a flamethrower. Its huge body began to swirl around the two energies at the center, occasionally letting out an angry roar.
Under this immense pressure, the speed at which the two pill energies fused accelerated.
Xiao Yan seized the opportunity, continuously changing his hand seals to induce a change from the center of the pill energies, causing a trace of heat to be born from the cold.
The two pills were already of a very high grade and had gained some sentience. As time passed, they knew that this was the only way they could continue to exist in this severe environment.
Gradually, under Xiao Yan's guidance, the two energies turned into a ball of pale white flame—the Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame!
