There actually existed an innate special e between different Heavenly Fmes!

  Heavenly Fmes were all heavenly treasures formed by the very essence of the world. Even if a Dou God could produce Dou Qi fmes with a temperature higher than Heavenly Fmes, they still couldn't create one.

  The definition of a Heavenly Fme was that it was born from the world. There had always been a special e between them.

  When a Heavenly Fme appeared, all other fmes submitted.

  Xiao Yan realized this fact when the Seed Fme of the Nihility Dev Fme was unwilling to approach the Bone Chilling Fme.

  But he had overlooked it! Because of the Fme Mantra!

  The miraculous ability of the Fme Mantra was that it allowed Heavenly Fmes to perfectly merged with each other, thus eliminating this e. This led him tet about it!

  Xiao Yan hurled the Angry Buddha Lotus Fme in his hand toward Hai Bodong just like throwing a grenade.

  "Run!!!"

  When Xiao Ding and Xiao Li saw the fire lotus getting out of trol, they shouted in unison and hurriedly fled from the training ground, even running outside the pound.

  All the meraries realized the danger and ran for their lives when they heard the two leaders' shouts. The entire merary pany was thrown into chaos!

  Hai Bodong gritted his teeth as the exquisite fire lotus flew toward him. It even gave a Dou Emperor like him goosebumps. However, if he ran away, how could he still call himself a Dou Emperor!

  "Mysterious Ice Mirror, form!"

  He let out a low cry. Immediately, the energy in the space around him began to fluctuate rapidly, and an astonishingly fast wave of cold air de a terrifying speed.

  Eventually, a Mysterious Ice Mirror dozens of meters wide and several meters thick took shape in front of him.

  Hai Bodong's pupils tracted as he stared at the slowly rotating fire lotus through the ice yer. The Spiritual Strength weakened rapidly o left Xiao Yan's trol, while the Heavenly Fme petals began to release fmes that distorted and ed the surrounding light.

  The moment the Angry Buddha Lotus Fme lightly touched the ice mirror with a soft 'pop,' the Spiritual Strength instantly formed a spherical cover that merged the Heavenly Fmes and Dou Qi seed together.

  The two Heavenly Fmes burned frantically, apanied by a series of rumbling sounds that made the ground tremble.

  With a tremendous boom!! The eruption occurred in this split sed!!

  The fusion of two Heavenly Fmes bined with Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi resulted in an explosion too powerful to imagi was as if a sun had been instantly obliterated, unleashing all the energy hidden within the fire lotus in a single, catastrophient.

  The power of the explosion was beyond what even Xiao Yan, its creator, could have imagihe terrifyingly fused Heavenly Fmes impacted outwards like a huge wave of fire, sweeping towards all dires. The frightening Heavenly Fme storm instantly destroyed all the ons, rocks, floors, and walls iraining ground.

  After melting all the facilities iraining ground, the fire wave shot into the sky, followed by a strong shockwave that spread throughout the entire pound!

  Everything iraining ground was reduced to ashes after the devastating storm swept through. Not even a trace was left. One had to know that the Desert Metal Merary pany's training ground was rge enough for hundreds of meraries to train, parable in size to an iional football field. Now it had just disappeared like this, leaving only a pit and a shattered ice mirror.

  The explosion's shockwave directly destroyed more than half of the merary pany. Most buildings had colpsed, and the once sprawling merary headquarters was nely reduced to rubble.

  The only fortunate aspect was that the meraries had been quick-witted and ran to take cover behind Hai Bodong, so no one was ihe area behind Hai Bodong's ice shield was the only part that remained intact, as even the walls of the pound had all colpsed.

  Hai Bodong looked at his ice mirror, which had been reduced from dozens of meters high to just a few meters, with the meter-thick ice yer melted down to less than half a meter by the Heavenly Fmes. His eyelids twitched violently!

  Although he was currently a 1-star Dou Emperor, he was still a Dou Emperor! Yet, his defensive Dou Teique had almost failed to hold up??

  'These Heavenly Fmes are truly terrifying!'

  If Hai Bodong had another ce to choose, he definitely wouldn't py the guinea pig. This Dou Emperor title, he'd rather not have it!

  'Hm? Where is the person?' As the smoke and dust cleared, Hai Bodong realized that Xiao Yan was o be seen!

  His heart skipped a beat. 'No way... Could he have blown himself up?'

  "Third Brother!!"

  "Cough cough cough, I-I'm here."

  A violent coughing sound suddenly came from the ruins. A hand slowly reached out and pushed aside the debris as a figure struggled to crawl out.

  The silhouette unmistakably firmed it was Xiao Yan. Although he was covered in dust and his hair was slightly singed, he was otherwise unharmed.

  His entire body had been covered in Dou Qi Armor, plus the Mad Lion t defeeique, the prote of the Ten Thousa Fme, and the Nihility Dev Fme abs part of the explosive fire wave. Only then was he unharmed.

  'If I had taken that attack head-on, I would have blown myself up with my own teique!'

  Xiao Yan realized that the Angry Buddha Lotus Fme Dou Teique did not rely heavily on one's cultivation level. Theoretically, it didn't require much Dou Qi, which meant that even a Dou Practitioner could use it.

  However, the power of this teique depended on the fmes themselves, and it had extremely high requirements for Spiritual Strength and fire trol ability!

  In essehis was a Dou Teique designed for alchemists—tailor-made for alchemists!

  One's cultivation might be weak, but as long as one owerful alchemist, one could unleash the full power of this teique.

  Although Xiao Yan was only a Dou Grandmaster, as an alchemist, his fire trol ability and Spiritual Strength had already reached the 5th tier! This was equivalent to a Dou King. Add to that the special rea produced by the fusion of Heavenly Fmes, and the power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Fme just now was parable to a full-strength attack of a high-star Dou King!

  'Good thing I didn't use the Essence Fmes directly. If the Essence Fmes of the Ten Thousa Fme and the Green Lotus Core Fme had collided aed, I would have been the first to die.'

  Xiao Ya a lingering fear. If the iations with the Eight-Winged Bck Serpent Emperor a few days ago hadn't gone well, the result might have been him dying together with it.

  'Surprisingly, the amount of fme o refine a 4th-tier pill almost pletely depleted a 5th-tier alchemist's Spiritual Strength just to maintain it.'

  This experiment had undoubtedly given Xiao Yan an additional trump card, albeit ohat could very likely kill him as well.

  Upon refle, he cluded that his Angry Buddha Lotus Fme was at most a Huang Css Dou Teique.

  Because this teique could kill the user, and its power was determined by the fmes themselves—strong fmes yielded stros, and weak fmes, weak results. Moreover, it also demanded immense fire trol ability and Spiritual Strength. There were many limitations and it was extremely dangerous.

  If he didn't have two kinds of Heavenly Fmes and the Fme Mantra, he wouldn't want this teique even if it were given to him for free.

  Xiao Li and Xiao Ding looked at the merary pany that had turned into ruins around them, then looked at their dust-covered third brother.

  Xiao Ding sighed and said with a wry smile, "Third Brother, even the Mo couldn't destroy our Desert Metal Merary pany. I never imagi would be destroyed by your hands."

  Xiao Li ughed heartily and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. "No worries. if it's destroyed, we'll just rebuild it. As long as no one is hurt, that's all that matters. Besides, we just so happeo have merged with Luo Bu's Sand Merary pany, so we take this opportunity to expand and build an even bigger base."

  Xiao Ding sighed again and shook his head. "Let's move to the Sand Merary pany's pce for now"

  Xiao Yan knew he was in the wrong, so he merely smiled sheepishly. He gave the few huhousand gold s he had obtained from the cave to his two elder brothers for restru purposes and then slipped away.

  It's unclear whether Xiao Yan did it iionally or not, but the guest room he was staying in happeo be behind Hai Bodong, so it remained ued by the explosion.

  Xiao Yan quickly shut the door behind him. The reason he wao test the Angry Buddha Lotus Fme had another purpose.

  'In a while, I'll be going to the Hall of Souls in the imperial capital. Before that, I still o resolve the final hidden danger.'
