Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 412

Xiao Fan only knew that the Three Thousand Burning Flames existed in a special starry sky within the Holy Pill City.

Having been sealed by the Pill Tower for so long, even for a Dou Zun expert, finding the Three Thousand Burning Flames would be no easy task.

If even the Three Thousand Burning Flames cannot be found, then trying to subdue it is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"system!?"

"System!?"

Xiao Fan called out repeatedly, but apart from the initial task given by the system, there was no further information from the system.

"This system, do you believe I'll just give up on it?"

Seeing that the system had not yet responded, Xiao Fan was at a loss.

Coming to his senses, Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan staring at him and suddenly realized what was happening.

"Zi Yan, are you exceptionally sensitive to spatial power?"

"Hmph! Of course not!"

As if showing off, Zi Yan revealed a hint of pride on her face and looked at Xiao Fan, saying, "As long as you don't lock me up, even if you use spatial power to hide, I will definitely be able to find you now!"

Hearing Zi Yan's confident words, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with joy. He looked Zi Yan up and down and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, after absorbing the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, you should be about to break through to the Dou Zong realm, right?"

"Just a little bit more..."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zi Yan showed a hint of regret on her face and said, "The bloodline power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix essence (Feng Qing'er) that I absorbed last time was not very strong, so it could only allow me to reach my current level. However, I can already feel that I am only one step away from breaking through to the Dou Zong realm!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Fan's face showed a hint of interest, and he immediately said, "If there were a lot of energy-rich medicinal herbs right now, could you hurry up and break through to the Dou Zong realm?"

"Hmm...it should be okay..."

Zi Yan listened to Xiao Fan's words, closed her eyes and thought for a while before speaking.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's affirmative answer, a glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes. He then waved his hand, and several rare and precious natural treasures radiating intense energy appeared in mid-air.

Xiao Fan stuffed them all into Zi Yan's arms, patted her head, and said, "You go and break through first. I'll protect you. After you break through to the Dou Zong realm, I'll take you to a fun place!"

"it is good!"

Zi Yan looked at the materials in her arms with disbelief in her eyes, which was then filled with joy. Overjoyed, she nudged Xiao Fan's hand with her head and then went into the room to begin her cultivation.

.................

Within a desolate world.

Mo Shang and the others followed behind a Celestial Venerable, their figures flashing and disappearing from their original spots as they continued to approach a distant, unknown land.

The scene in the underground blood pool kept replaying in Mo Shang's mind.

"Very good. The five of you actually managed to persevere to the end. You are the most outstanding disciples of the Soul Hall this year. From now on, the Soul Hall will provide you with resources that surpass those of everyone else."

Hearing the announcement from the leader on the cliff ahead, Mo Shang and the others who had survived in the blood pool showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"However, before that, you must go to one last place!"

Recalling the words of the leader, Mo Shang frowned slightly.

"Okay, here we are!"

Just as Mo Shang was reminiscing, the leading Celestial Venerable suddenly spoke, leading Mo Shang and the others to stand still.

Mo Shang also came to his senses and looked intently. In front of them, a large hall that was entirely black had appeared at some point.

Mo Shang could sense that the Chaos Fire within his body had flickered slightly just a moment ago, as if... it had spotted an extremely delicious meal...

"Greetings, Lord Xu Yan..."

Chapter 163 The Scheme of the Void Devouring Flame

"Well, come in."

A somewhat deep voice echoed from within the dark and gloomy hall.

"crunch~"

As the voice rang out, the palace gates, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and a chilling aura emanated from the main hall. Strangely enough, even with Mo Shang's current strength, they felt a bone-chilling cold after this chilling wind blew past, and their bodies trembled.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing the voice from inside the hall, the Heavenly Venerable who was leading Mo Shang and his group showed even more respect on his face. After bowing respectfully, he turned to Mo Shang and the others and said, "Follow me. Once inside, do not offend this lord."

Seeing the Celestial Clan in this state, the five who had barely survived the pool of ten thousand corpses remained expressionless, but their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

Along the way, although they did not know the identity of the Celestial Venerable in front of them, within the Soul Palace, those who could be called Celestial Venerables must be among the best even among ordinary Dou Zun.

And look at how respectfully the Celestial Venerable treated the people inside the hall.

Everyone realized that the person inside the hall was probably someone of considerable importance...

Following behind the Celestial Venerable, Mo Shang and the others stepped into the main hall. They found that the hall was devoid of any decorations, and the surrounding walls were made of some unknown black material. Inside the hall, various array patterns were densely packed.

As everyone entered, the patterns inside the hall lit up, emitting a faint blue light, which was the only source of light in this dark hall.

"Lord Xu Yan! They are the disciples of this generation of the Soul Hall."

The Celestial Venerable, who had brought Mo Shang and the others, respectfully bowed towards the center of the hall. Only then did Mo Shang and the others notice a dark figure sitting cross-legged in the very center of the hall.

"Ah."

A deep voice came from the figure, and then the Heavenly Venerable bowed again, turned around and spoke to Mo Shang and the others: "As long as you can get through this, you will all be able to gain great benefits. As for how much, it all depends on your own talents. I will be waiting for you outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Venerable stepped out of the main hall, and the heavy doors closed tightly once again.

As the gate closed, Mo Shang and the others discovered that behind the gate, there were also array patterns. As the gate closed, the array seemed to be activated, and the originally dim light on the array suddenly increased, and an inexplicable aura echoed in the hall.

The sudden turn of events filled Mo Shang and the other four with a sense of foreboding. However, Mo Shang, who knew the original story, was able to roughly guess the identity of the "Lord Xu Yan" before him.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the second-ranked Strange Flame on the list, the Void Devouring Flame, which collaborated with the Soul Emperor!

Recalling the power of the Void Devouring Flame, Mo Shang knew that they had no ability to resist. However, by the same token, the Soul Palace would not deliberately send them here to their deaths.

Thinking about what the "Celestial Venerable" had said when he left, Mo Shang now roughly understood their situation.

"In the original story, after Soul Emperor became an emperor, he wanted to deal with Void Devouring Flame, which made Void Devouring Flame determined to betray Soul Emperor. The Soul Clan's bloodline contains methods left behind by Void Devouring Flame. However, it seems that the higher-ups in the Soul Palace have unknowingly been hampered by Void Devouring Flame..."

Just as Mo Shang was deep in thought, in the center of the hall, Void Devouring Flame stood up and stared at the five ants in front of him. Without saying a word, Void Devouring Flame waved his hand, and an invisible energy surged out instantly.

The people standing beside Mo Shang saw the Void Devouring Flame's actions and were about to make a move, but faced with absolute power, they had no means of resistance and instantly fell to the ground, unconscious.

Mo Shang also felt the power of the Void Devouring Flame, but fortunately, he had the Chaos Fire in his body, which kept him conscious. However, in order not to alert the enemy, Mo Shang also imitated the others and fell to the ground.

"Da da da..........."

With his eyes closed in disguise, Mo Shang clearly sensed that the Void Devouring Flame was approaching them. Then, a surge of scorching energy rose up and poured into their bodies from five directions.

Soon, Mo Shang sensed a powerful force forcibly entering his body, surging and rushing within him. He desperately suppressed the restless Chaos Fire, fearing that its emergence would cause some unnecessary complications.

The energy that surged into Mo Shang's body, as it raced through his body, also left behind invisible strands of energy that hid deep within him.

Looking at this familiar method, Mo Shang realized it was the same method he had used to control the other two Soul Palace prodigies while in the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Corpses.

I just didn't expect that I would be able to experience it so soon.

With the presence of the Chaos Flame, Mo Shang was not worried about the Void Devouring Flame imprint in his body at all. Moreover, the energy of the Void Devouring Flame was constantly rushing through Mo Shang's body, leaving imprints on one hand, and greatly enhancing their strength on the other.

Now that he no longer needed to worry about the mark left by the Void Devouring Flame, Mo Shang naturally focused all his energy on digesting the gifts it offered.

At this moment, Mo Shang finally understood why the "Celestial Venerable" had said this was an opportunity. It seemed that the geniuses of the Soul Palace in the past had also been branded by the Void Devouring Flame, but they did not know it and only thought that it was a test given to them by the Void Devouring Flame.

"In that case, I won't be polite!"

Mo Shang, who was originally a Seven-Star Dou Zong, began to gradually increase his strength with the help of the Void Devouring Flame.

"Ok?"

Mo Shang's rising strength also seems to have attracted the attention of the Void Devouring Flame.

Although his main purpose was to imprint his mark on these prodigies, helping them advance was just a side effect. However, in the past, these prodigies could only passively accept his gifts, and he would stop once he realized that their bodies had reached their limits.

Now that there's a little guy who can keep absorbing, Void Devouring Flame also became interested and wanted to see where its limit was.

Thus, with the help of the Void Devouring Flame, Mo Shang's strength began to steadily increase.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Shang realized that he was nearing his limit and stopped trying to absorb anything more.

After stopping, Mo Shang realized that his strength had increased from the Seven-Star Dou Zong to the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zong.

Suppressing his joy, Mo Shang dared not reveal the slightest movement.

"Alright, kid, stop pretending."

Just as Mo Shang continued to pretend to be unconscious, the deep voice of Void Devouring Flame rang in Mo Shang's ears.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Mo Shang hesitated for only a brief moment before ceasing his pretense. After all, he had just actively absorbed the other party's energy, so it would be unreasonable to claim he had fainted.

More importantly, Mo Shang believed that with the opponent's strength, if they wanted to kill him, they wouldn't need to waste so much time.

"Greetings, Lord Xu Yan!"

Mo Shang stood up and, imitating the previous Heavenly Venerable, respectfully bowed to the Void Devouring Flame.

When Xu Wu Tun Yan greeted Mo Shang, he carefully examined Mo Shang without saying much. At his level, strength and talent were meaningless. The only thing he cared about was two words: Dou Di (Battle Emperor).

It was only because Mo Shang seemed interesting that I had the slight inclination to talk to him.
