Chapter 90: Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Atop a weathered rock hill.

Wei Yang sat cross-legged on the scorching rocks, meditating with closed eyes.

The blazing sun above released its intense heat without restraint, baking the endless desert below, as if unwilling to stop until the last drop of moisture was evaporated.

The fiery energy from the surrounding space, along with strands of solar energy, surged towards Wei Yang, entering his body and eventually being refined into his own energy.

Moments later, Wei Yang opened his eyes and exhaled softly, "Almost there, I've reached the peak of a one-star Dou Wang."

He flipped his hand to take out a small jade bottle, opening the cap to let a rich aroma of pills waft out.

Inside the jade bottle, a blue-green pill with profound patterns lay quietly.

A top-grade Dou Ling Pill!

A pill that every Dou Wang can take only once in their lifetime.

"Let's begin!" Wei Yang thought to himself.

Tilting the jade bottle towards his mouth, the pill fell into his mouth and was swallowed as his Adam's apple moved.

Boom!

Pure and mighty energy spread through his body, flooding him instantly.

Wei Yang hurriedly operated his cultivation technique, beginning to refine this mighty and pure medicinal power.

As the refinement progressed, his aura gradually rose, becoming stronger and stronger.

With little effort, he broke through a thin bottleneck, smoothly entering the two-star Dou Wang level.

He continued to strive for three-star Dou Wang.

One day and one night later.

By noon the next day.

Wei Yang's momentum finally reached a peak.

"Now!" Wei Yang's heart voiced a gentle command.

Immediately, the fire and solar energies from the surrounding space were absorbed fervently.

His aura surged towards another bottleneck.

Soon, as a faint popping sound seemed to resonate from his body, his entire frame shivered.

Immediately, his aura soared to another level.

Three-star Dou Wang!

Moments later, Wei Yang slowly gathered his aura and opened his eyes.

Inside his pupils, a flicker of black flame jumped faintly and then gradually dissipated.

"Three-star Dou Wang."

Wei Yang exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Taking this top-grade Dou Ling Pill, he smoothly broke through the two-star barrier without any mishap.

"Next, I'll continue cultivating while making final preparations for refining the unique fire," Wei Yang contemplated.

...

The following day.

Wei Yang sat at the top of the hill, extending a hand.

In his palm, a dark red flame, faintly tinged with a trace of pale gold, was forced out of his body, gradually forming a palm-sized flame.

This was the peak fourth-tier beast flame, once obtained from the two-headed fire spirit snake's child flame.

Wei Yang named it: Molten Core Fire.

Now, this beast flame has been nurtured by Wei Yang for two to three years, undergoing some changes, already faintly carrying a hint of pale gold.

If nurtured further, it might soon have the chance to rise to the fifth tier, with some attribute changes.

Given that it was acquired midway, and Wei Yang hadn't devoted much effort to nurturing it, during his breakthrough to Dou Wang, it didn't automatically rise to the fifth tier.

Now, its benefits to Wei Yang were limited, and it was time to part with it.

Wei Yang took out a jade bottle and sealed the flame within, securing it.

After these actions, he took a light breath.

Once again, he extended his hand, and as his mind moved, a fist-sized black sun hovered above his palm.

It burned with black flames, emitting scorching heat and a faint ghostly black light.

The air above Wei Yang's palm distorted slightly from the black flames' heating.

Of course, this temperature was nothing to Wei Yang.

Moreover, it wouldn't harm him.

Instead, a gentle and affectionate sense emerged, subtly trembling in his palm, prompting a smile from Wei Yang.

Both seemed to have grown familiar, with no trace of the initial unfamiliarity.

Now, this unique flame became increasingly intimate with Wei Yang, quite friendly and warm.

It was not highly intelligent, only instinctively spirited yet lacking wisdom.

Captured by Wei Yang and branded with a soul imprint within its core, it wholly acknowledged Wei Yang, drawing close to him naturally.

This closeness would only grow stronger over time, and eventually, Wei Yang's connection with it would tighten.

Until the day it was fully refined, he and this unique flame would be without barriers, truly merging as one.

"You don't have a name yet, being an unknown unique flame to the world..."

"In the future, you'll be called: Black Sun Burning Sky Flame!" After some thought, Wei Yang named it.

The inspiration came primarily from the cultivation technique: Great Sun Burning Sky Technique.

The technique paired with the unique flame; too lazy to think of a name.

Black Sun Burning Sky Flame!

Soon, accompanied by Wei Yang's ventures into the world, this name might echo across the lands, instilling fear in his enemies.

Like a black sun crossing the sky, grand and majestic!

Burning everything to ashes.

...

After observing it for a while.

"Divide!" Wei Yang softly commanded.

Instantly, a small wisp of flame, about the size of a thumb, separated from the black sun in his palm, floating gently in front of him, flickering slightly.

The black sun in Wei Yang's palm trembled slightly, the flames fluctuating as if instinctively resisting, but eventually, it was soothed and suppressed by Wei Yang.

He closed his hand, stowing the Black Sun Burning Sky Flame.

Looking at the remaining small wisp of flame, Wei Yang smiled.

This was a tiny wisp of child flame separated from the Black Sun Burning Sky Flame, only a sliver, causing some harm to the unique flame, but it was minor.

This small damage, the Black Sun Burning Sky Flame would recover from it soon enough.

Additionally, this child flame was temporarily separated and would eventually rejoin the main flame.

The reason for separating this child flame was for Wei Yang to refine it first, allowing the battle energy within him to acquire the properties of the Black Sun Burning Sky Flame and become imbued with its aura.

Familiarizing oneself with the child flame was a step to reduce the difficulty of refining the main flame later.

By then, having its child flame within, Wei Yang could save considerable effort in the refining process, and its harm to him would be significantly reduced.

It amounted to a resistance of sorts.

Whether in battle energy or in the physical body.

...

Wei Yang lowered his eyelids, staring straight at the flickering black flame wisp.

"Begin."

He slowly closed his eyes, focusing his mind internally, first circulating once along his meridians, finally reaching the dantian region in his abdomen.

In his dantian, a vast red-gold energy in liquid form churned continuously, resembling a small lake of energy.

Though after reaching Dou Wang, battle energy would spread throughout the body, the most significant energy store still lay in the dantian.

After confirming everything was in order, Wei Yang didn't open his eyes but breathed lightly.

The wisp of child flame was sucked into his mouth, swallowed, and quickly traveled along the meridians to the dantian region, finally suspended above the dantian.

With the energy tide surging in the dantian, the vast energy enveloped the flame wisp, carrying it through the meridians along the cultivation route, starting the refining process.

During this, the flame wisp instinctively resisted.

However, under Wei Yang's powerful soul and battle energy's dual suppression, this flame wisp, hardly more than a peak Da Dou Shi level, could not resist.

Moreover, being just a small wisp of child flame, it was essentially insubstantial, separated from the main flame, akin to a rootless source; its slight instinctual resistance was quickly subdued.

Refining the child flame was a step Wei Yang swiftly accomplished.

When this flame wisp returned to the dantian again, it was utterly refined by Wei Yang, merging with his battle energy.

Now it burned quietly within the dantian's energy lake.

The internal battle energy passing through it would be smelted and imbued with its aura.

It wouldn't take long for all the battle energy within Wei Yang to be thoroughly smelted by it, becoming imbued with its aura.
