Chapter 131: Farewell

At the edge of the sky, the fiery clouds spread, making the desert seem as if it has been draped in a layer of red makeup.

In a certain area.

Green flames suddenly surged, sweeping up.

Then, a black sun slowly rose, emitting a light that completely shrouded the green flames.

Quickly, a black domain covering a range of several hundred meters appeared.

Within the domain.

Besides the central area where the green flames were gradually converging.

A human-shaped, pale white flame also stood within.

Sizzle~

The two seemed like cold water meeting hot oil.

A wisp of smoke curled up.

"What an overbearing light!" Yao Lao's admiring voice rang out, then he spoke with some heartache, "Xiao Yan, stop looking, get out of this black light-covered area first, my soul power is being consumed."

"Oh, oh." Xiao Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to continue admiring the black sun at the center of the domain. In just this moment, he felt as if his eyes were being painfully pierced by the black light, making him want to cry.

He quickly stepped back, withdrawing from the domain and returning to the outside world.

Standing outside the black light's coverage, Yao Lao gradually retracted the Bone Chilling Flame and said with some heartache, "Such an overbearing Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, just this short period of time caused a significant loss of my soul power!"

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, unable to resist glancing again at the dazzling black sun in the center of the black domain. This black sun seemed to possess a certain allure, and even though one knew it was dangerous and would hurt the eyes, it was irresistibly attractive to look at.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan said in surprise, "Teacher, is it that serious? You have the Bone Chilling Flame to protect you, with its power, resisting the subdued light on the edges should not cause much loss, right?"

"Subdued? Those black lights were like flies smelling blood, swarming over."

"I use my soul power to deploy the Bone Chilling Flame; it's already a case of 'killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of my own'."

Yao Lao explained, "And these black lights, despite not appearing overly powerful, are bizarrely overbearing! They seem to extract and burn my soul power; even the Bone Chilling Flame struggles to fend them off. Just under a minute of consumption feels more draining than concocting a fifth-grade Blood Lotus Pill!"

"So bizarre and terrifying?!" Xiao Yan was shocked to hear this.

The Bone Chilling Flame is ranked eleventh among strange fires, yet it struggles against the black light's radiance?

"My soul power is used to drive the Bone Chilling Flame, naturally coming into contact with this black light; I never expected it to be this terrifying!"

"This strange fire is quite extraordinary!" Yao Lao murmured, "I underestimated it before. Its characteristics targeting Dou Qi and soul feel somewhat like the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's traits yet different."

"The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame relies on its flame's temperature to burn the enemy's Dou Qi, whereas this Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame achieves this with its mere radiance."

"Uh, then doesn't that mean this flame is even more bizarre and terrifying than the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?" Xiao Yan was shocked.

"That depends on its potential. If its potential is sufficient and it can grow to the level of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in the future, it will naturally be comparable! Moreover, with its bizarre and overbearing traits, I estimate its potential won't be low, perhaps in future growth, it may not be much weaker than the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame!" Yao Lao said solemnly.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly.

That's the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame, ranked fourth and third respectively!

This Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, in the future, can actually be comparable to these two flames?

Yao Lao's old, transparent body floated out of Xiao Yan, squinting his eyes slightly as he thought further ahead.

He has enmity with the Hall of Souls.

Back then, it was the Hall of Souls, along with his treacherous disciple Han Feng, that attacked him.

In other words, Yao Chen was already targeted by the Hall of Souls.

He and his disciple would eventually have to confront the Hall of Souls again.

Even if the Hall of Souls doesn't come for him, once Yao Chen recovers, he will seek them out for revenge.

And this Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, with its bizarre and overbearing traits, would be a great weapon against the Hall of Souls!

Most of the Hall of Souls protectors are spirit bodies, even some Dou Venerable are in soul form; strange fires like the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, which can burn Dou Qi and soul, would certainly be a terrifying weapon against the Hall of Souls!

Both Wei Yang's and the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame's potential are highly significant to Yao Lao.

In the future, once Wei Yang and the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame have grown, if their abilities can at least rival the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, they would stand at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi continent.

Consider the Nether Lotus Demonic Saint, who was half-emperor!

"I'm glad we have a bond of friendship," Yao Lao smiled and stroked his beard, feeling satisfied.

In his heart, he's already planned to, in the future, bring the grown Wei Yang and Xiao Yan to eliminate at least one earthly palace of the Hall of Souls to vent his grievances from having his physical body destroyed!

The black light gradually receded.

Whoosh!

A black stream of light flew over and stopped in front of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

It was Wei Yang.

"Wei brother!" Xiao Yan looked at Wei Yang with anticipation.

Wei Yang smiled and nodded, raising his right hand. In his palm, a cluster of green flames trembled slightly as it floated there, weak and timid.

It was quiet, obedient, and fragile...

Even as it rested in Wei Yang's palm, it showed no sign of resistance. Instead, it trembled slightly with a hint of flattering submission.

Where was its previous arrogance and ferocity?

Judging by its faintly emitted power, it was only barely comparable to a Dou Wang.

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as he quickly retrieved the Green Lotus Throne, taking back the Green Lotus Fire.

He felt distressed. His strange fire had been tormented over the past two days.

Medusa weakened it once, and Wei Yang weakened it again. Now, it had none of the fiery temperament of strange fire left.

It's greatly damaged.

Thankfully, its source wasn't harmed, making future recovery much easier.

"It's over, I should be heading back too."

Wei Yang smiled, "I still have some matters to attend to later."

"Alright." Yao Lao stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

"Wei brother, thank you for your trouble this time," Xiao Yan also laughed.

Wei Yang had helped him a lot in this desert journey. If it weren't for Wei Yang following along, this trip wouldn't have been so smooth.

For this, Xiao Yan was very grateful in his heart.

"Hehe." Wei Yang waved his hand, "No problem, we help each other."

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded heavily, not saying more.

With the relationship between the two, there's no need for excessive politeness, mutual understanding suffices.

"By the way, Wei brother, about the journey to the Misty Cloud Sect in ten months…" Xiao Yan said.

"Don't worry, since I promised to accompany you on this journey, I won't miss it. Let's meet in Jia Ma Holy City then," Wei Yang said.

"Alright." Xiao Yan smiled, feeling much relieved.

With Wei Yang accompanying him, the pressure of the Misty Cloud Sect journey was at least halved.

"Off I go, see you in ten months." Wei Yang waved his hand and, with a movement, turned into a black stream of light, quickly departing.

"Take care, Wei brother." Xiao Yan waved his hand.

Wei Yang chuckled lightly, disappearing on the horizon within a few blinks.

"Mm, this young man has a good character, worth making friends with," Yao Lao stroked his beard and advised Xiao Yan, "In the future, you should interact with him more, maintain this relationship, don't cut it off. He can greatly aid your growth."

"Hehe, don't worry, teacher, I understand," Xiao Yan nodded, laughing, "No matter who I break ties with, I won't easily cut off with him."

Kidding, they are truly hometown friends.

This natural closeness and trustworthiness is much more reliable than the majority of people in this world.
