A wooden house by the Golden Ancient Tree on Sea God Island.
Fang Yang stood by the window, his gaze profound as he looked out at the distant, shimmering sea.
Morning light filtered through the mist, casting a faint golden glow around him.
After a moment, he softly said, "Gu Yue, go bring Xiao Yan back."
"Okay."
Gu Yuena nodded slightly.
She extended her slender hand and gently traced it through the air. Where her fingertips passed, silver light flowed, and the surrounding space rippled like water.
A silver-white spatial gate slowly formed, with shimmering silver light within, leading to another place.
Gu Yuena looked back at Fang Yang, her eyes sparkling, "You here..."
"It's fine."
Fang Yang gently waved his hand, "I know what I'm doing."
Gu Yuena said nothing more, turned, and stepped into the spatial gate.
With a subtle spatial fluctuation, her figure completely vanished, leaving only a few wisps of silver light slowly dissipating.
As for Na'er, she had already gone to Ya Li's side early in the morning.
Fang Yang stood silently by the window for a moment, feeling the life Qi emanating from the Golden Ancient Tree.
He then slowly walked to the meditation cushion in the center of the room and sat down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, his breathing gradually becoming long and rhythmic, and his consciousness slowly sank into his Physique.
Faint Qi fluctuations emanated from his body, causing even the air to tremble.
The next moment, his consciousness instantly sank into the internal space of the strange fire pearl.
The World before him began to twist and change, and when Fang Yang opened his eyes again, the familiar Fire Square stood before him.
Twenty-three towering pillars stood majestically, each缠绕 with flames of different colors, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
Currently, Fang Yang's strength had reached Five-star Dou Zong.
The remaining four strange fires at the end of the Strange Fire Ranking were temporarily of little help to him.
This time, Fang Yang intended to devour the top ten strange fires on the Strange Fire Ranking.
His gaze slowly fell on two of the towering pillars.
One pillar was 缠绕 with Black Flame, and a gloomy wind howled, with strange wind sounds faintly audible from within, making one uneasy.
The other pillar was a purple-Black Flame, and above the flame, a brilliant starry sky pattern appeared, as if it contained the entire Milky Way.
"The tenth-ranked strange fire, Nine Nether Phoenix Flame, and the ninth-ranked strange fire, Three Thousand Blazing Flames."
Fang Yang's voice echoed in the empty square, carrying a hint of solemnity.
The Nine Nether Phoenix Flame was born in the endless abyss of an extremely yin place.
There, the gloomy wind never ceased throughout the year, and this strange fire formed in the most violent place of the wind Qi. This fire had a strange wind sound emanating from within it.
And this wind sound, when heard by people, would cause a strange irritation, and this strange sound could cause emotional fluctuations in people.
Three Thousand Blazing Flames was also known as "Three Thousand Starry Sky Blazing Flames." It formed in the starry sky and could absorb the power of the stars to continuously grow stronger.
When silver fire descends from the sky, a thousand miles of land become like a desert, day and night indistinguishable, stars unseen, and the sun unrisen.
Due to its location in the starry sky, a place unreachable by ordinary people, the Three Thousand Blazing Flames generally existed for a longer period than other strange fires, and its intelligence was also higher.
And precisely because of this, it was given enough time to evolve, so most of the Three Thousand Blazing Flames discovered were super spiritual objects with high intelligence, and even if found, capturing them was extremely difficult.
This strange fire possessed an exceptionally special ability, which was the rumored "Three Thousand Starry Sky Physique."
Some strong individuals who had once fought with people who possessed the Three Thousand Blazing Flames called it the "Immortal Physique," possessing extremely strong regenerative abilities.
As long as one was not blasted into a meat paste, any injury could be recovered, though it was only a matter of time.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged in front of the two towering pillars.
As his thoughts moved, the strange fire pearl within his body began to tremble violently.
The ancient runes inscribed on the surface of the pearl seemed to come alive, emitting a mysterious light.
"Unseal!"
Accompanied by a low shout.
"Crack... crack..."
The ancient Seal runes Binding the Nine Nether Phoenix Flame and the Three Thousand Blazing Flames on the two towering pillars shattered inch by inch in response, emitting crisp cracking sounds.
The moment the Seal was broken, the two strange fires, black and purple-black, suddenly erupted!
The Nine Nether Phoenix Flame transformed into a giant Black Phoenix, flapping its wings and crying out, a gloomy wind howled, and strange wind sounds echoed in the space, disturbing one's Soul.
The Three Thousand Blazing Flames transformed into a purple-black Dragon, with specks of starlight on its Dragon body, roaring up at the sky, and scorching flames swept across the entire square.
Two terrifying energies intertwined and repelled each other, raising towering waves of fire on the Fire Square.
Hot air rushed forth, and even the space slightly twisted under the high temperature.
Fang Yang's expression was solemn, and the majestic Qi within his body surged out.
The black Nine Nether Phoenix Flame and the purple-black Three Thousand Blazing Flames intertwined and circled in the air, emitting deafening roars.
Waves of scorching flames continuously impacted Fang Yang's protective Qi, and the entire strange fire space trembled violently.
The Fen Jue (Blazing Art) within Fang Yang's body operated frantically, and Qi continuously emerged, forming a huge vortex, beginning to forcibly devour the two strange fires.
"Roar—!"
The purple-black Dragon formed by the Three Thousand Blazing Flames let out an earth-shattering roar, its Dragon tail sweeping, carrying destructive power directly towards Fang Yang.
The Black Phoenix formed by the Nine Nether Phoenix Flame let out a piercing shriek, and the strange wind sounds directly struck the depths of the Soul.
Fang Yang groaned, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Simultaneously confronting two top ten strange fires, even with his strength as a Five-star Dou Zong, he felt extremely strained.
But his eyes remained firm, and the Fen Jue (Blazing Art) operated to its limit.
"Devour them!"
Fang Yang shouted lowly, and the black light around his body flared brightly.
The vortex formed by the Void Black Flame suddenly expanded, forcibly drawing the two strange fires into it.
The Nine Nether Phoenix Flame and the Three Thousand Blazing Flames struggled wildly, trying to break free from the Binding.
The black and purple-Black Flames intensely collided in the vortex, erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations.
The entire strange fire space trembled violently.
Fang Yang's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
He could feel the terrifying energy contained within the two strange fires frantically impacting his Meridians.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, the Fen Jue (Blazing Art) operating non-stop, refining these two powerful strange fires little by little.
Time passed bit by bit, and after an unknown period, the struggles of the two strange fires gradually weakened.
The figures of the Black Phoenix and the purple-black Dragon began to blur, eventually transforming into two streams of pure energy, completely devoured by Fang Yang.
"Phew..."
Fang Yang let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
A black light and a purple light flashed in his eyes, and his aura was several times stronger than before.
"First-turn Dou Zun!"
Fang Yang felt the surging power within his body, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Simultaneously devouring two top ten strange fires had given his strength a qualitative Leap.
The strange wind sounds of the Nine Nether Phoenix Flame and the immortal Physique characteristic of the Three Thousand Blazing Flames would both become powerful aids to him.
His consciousness returned to reality, and Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes. The life Qi emanating from the Golden Ancient Tree made him feel a sense of comfort.
"Next, it's time to prepare for the trip to Mingdu," Fang Yang murmured softly, his gaze looking into the distance.
"The next day, the Sun Moon Federation capital council will be held. At that time, the fate of the entire continent will usher in a new turning point."
