Chapter 92: The Devouring Begins

As the source of the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame moved further away from his body, it seemed to sense something ominous.

Thus, it began a fierce resistance.

Boom!

The black sun, having lost its source, erupted completely!

Black flames roared to life, surging violently, and in an instant, swept across and engulfed the entire mountain top.

Blaze~

The temperature on the mountain top skyrocketed.

Simultaneously, its brilliance fully bloomed.

A dazzling black sun rose slowly at the top of the hill, its light even overshadowing the moon on the horizon.

From a distance, it appeared as though a bright black sun was rising, parallel with the moon on the horizon.

In the nighttime desert, an eerie phenomenon of the sun and moon shining simultaneously appeared!

A brilliant black sun and a bright moon coexisted in the night sky, competing for splendor.

The scene was truly astonishing!

The black light illuminated the surroundings, centering on the black sun, instantly shrouding an area within several miles.

Within this area, it was completely enveloped in dazzling black light, rendering vision impossible. Aside from the blinding, searing black glow, nothing else could be seen.

Even the moonlight couldn't penetrate.

This area was the absolute domain of the black sun, where no other light could take hold, as it would be consumed, assimilated, or expelled.

The temperature continued to rise.

"It's here!"

Not far away, at the entrance of the cave, Xian'er, witnessing this scene, was experienced.

Even before the black sun was about to erupt, she hurriedly shielded Qinglin behind her, while a grayish-white battle energy shield appeared on her body, resisting the invasion of the black glow.

Although they couldn't see anything, they refused to retreat into the cave to hide and instead stood there with eyes closed, facing the direction where Wei Yang was.

"Brother Yang..."

"Young Master..."

Even with prior mental preparation, Wei Yang was startled by the sudden eruption of power from the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame.

This power could rival that of a Dou Huang!

Is it going for a final counterattack before dying?

Is it really necessary?

I went to such great lengths, nurturing a bond for a year, yet it shows no mercy...

This little fellow, despite its low intelligence, has such a temper!

It tends to go big at the drop of a hat.

His body was quickly enveloped by a layer of black flame, shielding himself.

The Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame had become frenzied, and Wei Yang dared not face it unguarded.

After all, it was in an indiscriminate attack mode.

However, Wei Yang soon felt the black flame he released start to tremble slightly.

He had anticipated this and wasn't surprised.

Being a sub-flame, merely at the peak Dou Ling level, it would naturally submit to the main flame.

Especially to a fully unleashed main flame.

Fortunately, with Wei Yang's powerful battle energy support, the sub-flame could barely defend, protecting those around Wei Yang.

Even so, Wei Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking, "Goodness, just an instinctive outburst holds power comparable to a Dou Huang, coupled with its inherent destructive force, even a Dou Huang expert would have to handle it carefully now."

"Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, is this your true power?!" 

Wei Yang's back was drenched in cold sweat, feeling both thrilled and somewhat anxious and apprehensive.

Thrilled because the true eruptive might of the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame surpassed expectations, promising to become even more terrifying as it grew.

Anxious and apprehensive because of whether devouring it would end badly for himself.

He couldn't help but recall in the original work, Xiao Yan, being just a Dou Shi, dared to devour the Green Lotus Core Flame and succeeded, making him chuckle wryly.

Talk about a cheat!

Looking at this, even though it's a young flame, once it fully erupts, it seems fiercer than the matured Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Luckily, it's still a young flame now, with low intelligence, as naive as a baby. If it developed the viciousness and cunning mentality of the Fallen Heart Flame in the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy, who devours whom would be uncertain!"

Wei Yang felt a sense of relief in his heart, then took a deep breath, shaking his head to dismiss such thoughts.

"Go on, erupt more fiercely, and deplete more energy; it'll save me some effort later." Wei Yang released his soul power, firmly suppressing the fist-sized cluster of the strange fire's source, preventing it from returning to its body within the erupting black sun.

Let it continue its outburst.

Wei Yang couldn't stop it, nor did he intend to.

Let it consume more energy.

Covering an area of several miles, that consumption isn't small.

Now it's nighttime, with cold temperatures, lacking sunlight and fire attribute energy for quick replenishment.

The more it consumes now, the less effort it would require later, improving the success rate.

...

Wei Yang picked up a jade bottle and opened it, taking out the Blood Lotus Pill.

Instantly.

A peculiar aroma of the pill lingered under his nose, giving a cool sensation, causing a slight tremor in his soul.

Gazing at the fifth-grade pill, Wei Yang opened his mouth and swallowed it directly.

The Blood Lotus Pill, upon entry, turned into a slightly cold energy, rapidly infiltrating various meridians within Wei Yang's body, eventually permeating into the meridians and skeleton like layers of blood membranes.

These blood membrane-like energies quickly formed a protective layer within his body.

As the blood membrane energy permeated, changes occurred on Wei Yang's body surface.

His body trembled violently, with tiny strands of blood seeping continuously from every pore.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Yang turned into what looked like a blood-drenched figure, a layer of crimson blood covering him, looking extremely terrifying.

These blood-like substances, shortly after appearing, rapidly solidified, forming a crust of blood-colored keratin.

The keratin not only covered his body but even sealed his eyes completely.

The blood-colored keratin seemed to form an airtight suit of blood armor, thoroughly encasing Wei Yang for protection.

Slowly extending his blood-colored keratin-covered palm, he aimed it at the writhing and struggling source of the strange fire enveloped by his soul power, suspended before him.

With a thought, a massive suction force surged from his palm.

Upon the sudden emergence of this suction, the fist-sized source of the strange fire in the air was immediately drawn towards it, falling into Wei Yang's palm.

In the moment of grasping it, Wei Yang felt as if, like a regular person, he was holding a piece of red-hot iron.

Though protected by a layer of blood-colored keratin, the terrifying heat of the handful of strange fire's source was distinctly perceptible.

Hiss hiss hiss~

Smoke rose from his palm, and a scent resembling burnt material filled the air.

The blood-colored keratin covering his palm rapidly melted, dripping like blood.

Yet, amidst this continuous drip, the black flame burned these liquid drops into nothingness mid-air.

New blood-colored energy kept emerging, forming new keratin layers to protect his palm.

Wei Yang's gaze seemed to penetrate through the blood-colored keratin over his eyes, fixating on the source of the strange fire in his hand.

It gently trembled in his palm, as if acting coy, and also displaying fear and resistance.

Wei Yang soothed it once more.

Then, gritting his teeth, he quickly tilted his head back and opened his mouth, pressing the terrifying strange fire's source into it.

The devouring of the strange fire commenced!
