"Liu boy, if I'm not mistaken, the strange fire you possess is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire List!" Yao Lao asked, looking at Liu Yu.
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Liu Yu raised his hand slightly, and a cyan-blue flame appeared in his palm. Looking closely, one could see the space around the flame distort invisibly!
After being fed by his ten strands of source power, the "Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire" had completely transformed, its flames intertwined with cyan and blue, creating an incomparably mysterious experience. Therefore, he dubbed it the "Azure Lotus Mysterious Blue Flame"!
"This can't possibly be the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire!" Yao Lao exclaimed. The terrifying power contained in this cyan-blue flame was completely comparable to his Bone Spirit Cold Fire!
He considered himself knowledgeable about strange fires, recognizing most of the ones on the Strange Fire List, but the cyan-blue flame in Liu Yu's hand had no recollection of it. This meant it had to be a strange fire not on the list!
"This is indeed not the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. It's called Azure Lotus Mysterious Blue Flame, and it's my companion fire!" Liu Yu said calmly. At the same time, he slowly raised his other hand, and a cyan flame, far weaker than the Azure Lotus Mysterious Blue Flame, emerged. "This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire." "
How is that possible? There can't be two different fires in one person!" Yao Lao was once again shocked, looking at Liu Yu as if he were looking at a "monster."
For a moment, Yao Lao's expression changed. Logically, to possess multiple different fires within one's body, one must practice the "Burning Art." Could it be that Liu Yu also possessed this strange technique?
Xiao Yan, standing by, was also somewhat surprised. He remembered his teacher saying that only the "Burning Art" could grant a person the ability to possess multiple different fires. Could it be that Elder Liu had practiced the "Burning Art"?
"Yao Lao, this Azure Lotus Mysterious Blue Flame has existed within my Dantian since my birth. As I've grown, it's gradually transmitted information to me. I've also learned that my constitution is unique, capable of harboring multiple types of Strange Fire. There's also a cultivation technique perfectly suited to me, capable of continuous evolution. Combined with my unique constitution, it can foster Strange Fire!"
Liu Yu immediately began his presentation, addressing Yao Lao with eloquence. Yao Lao
fell silent upon hearing Liu Yu's words. The technique Liu Yu was referring to, one that could evolve and be suitable for him, was undoubtedly the "Burning Art"!
He had discovered this technique by chance, originally nameless, and it was he who named it "Burning Art."
This suggests Liu Yu's identity is perhaps not ordinary, perhaps a descendant of some vanished ancient race.
If so, everything makes sense: a teenage Dou Huang, a spirit-level soul, possessing multiple types of Strange Fire. And the "Burning Art" is likely his clan's inherited technique!
After all, the Douqi Continent has a long history. In the past, there were many imperial clans, with all kinds of powerful physiques and mysterious skills emerging one after another. However, as time passed, many powerful imperial clans gradually declined, and finally only the Eight Ancient Clans remained!
"If your special physique is paired with a skill that suits your practice, can you really give birth to the Strange Fire?" Yao Lao looked puzzled, staring at Liu Yu closely.
"Yes, according to the information passed down to me by Qinglian Xuanlanyan, if I can only obtain a trace of the essence of the strange fire, combined with my physique and the technique, I can create another strange fire!" Seeing Yao Lao beginning to take the bait, Liu Yu affirmed, then sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have that technique in my inherited memories, otherwise..."
Yao Lao's eyes flickered with hesitation, but then, as if making an important decision, he looked at Liu Yu and slowly said, "Perhaps, I can help you!"
Liu Yu was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing across his bewitchingly handsome face. "Could it be that, Yao Lao, you have information about that technique? If you are willing to help me retrieve it, I will reward you handsomely!"
"No information, but I have a technique similar to the one you described. I wonder if it's true?" Yao Lao said, shaking his hand slightly, and a solid black scroll levitated in his hand. Then, the black scroll floated in front of Liu Yu.
This made Liu Yu slightly stunned. Just give it to him? However, he did not hesitate and reached out to take the black scroll. A soul power surged from Liu Yu's brows, and he obtained the contents of the black scroll.
But in a moment, a trace of joy appeared on Liu Yu's face, and he said to Yao Lao: "Yao Lao, this is the technique that suits my physique!"
As he said this, Liu Yu wanted to return the black scroll to Yao Lao, but Yao Lao did not take it. Instead, he sighed: "In this case, this can be regarded as returning it to its original owner. You should accept it!"
Liu Yu looked at the scroll in his hand with some emotion, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan and asked: "Xiao Yan, you should have practiced this technique as well!"
Xiao Yan was stunned, and after some hesitation, he nodded. Seeing this, Liu Yu's hand appeared a ball of green flame, which was the young Qinglian Earth Core Fire. At the same time, a surge of energy also emerged from Liu Yu's hand, enveloping the green flame. He said: "This Qinglian Earth Core Fire is a gift from Yao Lao for finding this technique for me!"
This made Xiao Yan's eyes worth looking at. This is a strange fire! Although he possessed the Purple Flame, this beastly fire was completely different from the Alien Fire! With this Alien Fire, his cultivation could evolve even further!
But Xiao Yan first looked at his teacher, as if to ask if he would accept it. Yao Lao nodded gently.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was about to take the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire from Liu Yu, but then thought, this was Alien Fire. Would he burn to death if he just took it like that ?
Liu Yu chuckled, and under his control, the Azure Flame in his hand plunged directly into Xiao Yan's body, startling him. Yao Lao, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed seeing Xiao Yan like this.
"This Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is encased in my Dou Qi, so it won't harm you. You only need to refine it later," Liu Yu explained with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Liu," Xiao Yan said, a little embarrassed, but thanked him anyway.
"I'm only slightly older than you. Just call me Brother Liu," Liu Yu said with a smile.
Watching Xiao Yan in a daze, Yao Lao felt a pang of disappointment. With such a good opportunity, he was still dazed. If he had acknowledged such a big brother, wouldn't that give him hope for advancing his cultivation in the future?
"Brother Liu!" Xiao Yan quickly replied, as if sensing Yao Lao's thoughts.
And just like that, Liu Yu had gained a "little brother."
...
The Black Domain Plain, a pitch-black plain, like a black line, completely separates the outside world from the inside.
This Black Domain Plain is also the gateway to the "Black Horn Domain"!
At that moment, a purple figure and a cyan figure suddenly appeared on this quiet plain. They were Liu Yu and Yun Yun!
A month had passed since the destruction of the guardian Ji Wu. After obtaining the "Burning Art" from Yao Lao, Liu Yu also received two strands of the origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire from Yao Lao. One strand was cultivated for himself, and the other was for Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan naturally owed this favor.
After Xiao Yan obtained the Sand Mandala from him, he left the Snake People Clan. After he arranged the relevant matters of the Snake People Clan, he took Yun Yun directly to the Black Horn Region. As for Xiao Zi, the monsters in the depths of the Monster Mountain Range needed his management, so Liu Yu did not take him with him.
...
The boundless plain, a monotonous black against the slightly dim sky, lingered over it with an oppressive and irritating atmosphere.
"Is this the Great Black Territory Plain?" Yun Yun murmured. Raised by her teachers since childhood, she had spent most of her life in the Jia Ma Empire. This was her first time in the Black Horn Territory.
Of course, as the leader of the Yun Lan Sect, she had heard of the Black Horn Territory. It was a region renowned for its chaos, vast enough to rival a small country, where various factions fought and slaughtered each other for their own interests.

However, the Black Horn Region could also be called a "treasure land," boasting a variety of high-level techniques, fighting skills, elixirs, and other rare items. However, to obtain these items, one prerequisite was sufficient strength!
You might be short on money, but you couldn't be without strength! This was a paradise for the strong, a graveyard for the weak!
"Let's go," Liu Yu said calmly. His blood wings fluttered slightly, and he vanished from the spot, followed by Yun Yun.
As Liu Yu and Yun Yun soared over the peaceful plains, the once gloomy sky was instantly obscured by a strange black fog. Had Liu Yu not recognized this as a characteristic of the Black Territory Plains—the Black Storm—he would have nearly believed that the Wu Guardian's crimes had been exposed, and that the Soul Palace was out to get him.
Vision was severely obscured by the boundless black fog, but for Liu Yu, possessing a spirit-level soul, this was child's play.
Yun Yun looked at Liu Yu. The black fog still had some effect on her, hindering her sense of direction. Liu Yu gently took Yun Yun's hand and led her into the black fog.
Suddenly, a howling wind swept down from the sky. Like a demon with its maw gaping, the black wind roared down from the oppressive sky, devouring everything in its path.
With a thought, Liu Yu's hand materialized, and a blood-red sword materialized. Its strange patterns radiated an unholy bloody light. With a gentle swing, a terrifying blood-red ray of light emanated, suffusing the darkness and easily ripping through the seemingly weak black wind, tearing a massive hole through the fog.
After dealing with the oncoming wind, Liu Yu took Yun Yun's hand and continued on.
After an unknown amount of time, the black fog and wind gradually dissipated, and some movement ahead caught Liu Yu's attention.
"
Brothers, kill all the men in these caravans. The women, stay and have some fun, hahaha! Kill!" roared a fierce, burly man, presumably the leader. With a single blow, he severed the head and body of a guard.
"Kill!"
"That woman is mine, hahaha!"
"Get lost! I set my eyes on her first!"
"..."
Seemingly endless, bandits attacked the massive caravan, comprised of several separate caravans. The caravan, overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, lost more than half its guards in an instant! The
guard captains, high-level Doushi masters, were each besieged by hundreds, nearly a thousand bandits.
Most of these bandits were at the seventh or eighth stage of Dou Qi cultivation, with a few being Douzhe and even a few at the third or fourth stage. However, their sheer numerical superiority allowed them to overpower the high-level Doushi masters. Furthermore, even if some perished, there was a constant stream of replacements, intent on wearing them down to death!
Liu Yu and Yun Yun, standing in the distance, naturally witnessed this scene. Yun Yun was naturally indifferent, and few things could stir her emotions. Even Yao Lao, who had seen him in his spirit form that day, was only slightly surprised before ignoring him. The only person who could cause Yun Yun to experience such a significant emotional upheaval was Liu Yu. Even
when people with whom she had little connection died before her, Yun Yun would simply stare blankly, her eyes wide open, aloof. Just like the caravans being slaughtered by the bandits, Yun Yun simply watched, her delicate features unmoved. If it weren't for Liu Yu's penchant for watching the action unfold, she would have turned and left long ago.
Compared to Yun Yun's ruthlessness, Liu Yu preferred to go along with what he felt was right. He would generally lend a hand wherever he could and whenever it was convenient.
Of course, he would avoid matters beyond his capabilities, but these bandits were clearly not within that range. Their highest cultivation level was no more than a Dou Shi, while some were only at the second or third stage of Dou Qi. He could easily crush them.
Lifting his hand slightly, the blood-red sword in his hand transformed into a truly remarkable blood-red laser gun, gleaming with blood.
Aiming slightly at the dense mass of darkness, Liu Yu gently pulled the trigger. A powerful energy converged within the gun, and with a flash of blood, a thick, blood-red laser beam shot out towards the bandits.
At this moment, the ferocious man, who was groping the lifeless woman in his arms, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a surge of unease welling up within him. He somehow raised his head, his last sight amplified by the blood-red glow!
"Bang!"
The blood-red laser beam blasted through the dense mass of bandits, instantly evaporating hundreds of them. The overflowing blood-red energy transformed into blood-red ripples that washed over the bandits. Those caught in the blood-red ripples inexplicably began to self-immolate, their human-shaped flames merging into a surging blue-green flame!
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Blood-red lasers blazed continuously. The once densely packed bandits were frightened and fled in all directions by this sudden "natural disaster." Those caravan members who had survived the Grim Reaper's scythe stared at the terrifying sea of fire in amazement. This "miracle" scene was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
Yun Yun, who was beside Liu Yu, was now curiously observing the weapon in Liu Yu's hand. Noticing Yun Yun's gaze, Liu Yu chuckled and said, "This weapon is called a laser gun. Do you want to try it out?"
Yun Yun was somewhat tempted, but she had never seen a weapon before and didn't know how to use it.
Seeing this, Liu Yu gently pulled Yun Yun into his arms, placed the laser gun in her hands, and began to teach her how to use it.
"Aim first, then gather all the fighting spirit in your body into this gun, and finally, pull the trigger!"
Very smoothly, a thick blue laser shot towards the fleeing bandits. Yun Yun, who was playing with a gun for the first time, obviously did not react in time. The huge recoil made her bump into Liu Yu...
Yun Yun's pretty face instantly flushed with a blush. She kept shooting at the fleeing bandits to hide her inner shame. Liu Yu, who was a little surprised, had to enjoy it silently...
Because of Yun Yun's spur of the moment, the fleeing bandits were all killed. So far, this huge bandit group of tens of thousands was completely slaughtered.
