294: Chapter 294 Seven Luminaries' Dazzling Eyes, Taiyin True Fire

Back and forth!

As Hun Tiandi devoured the flames, the deep blue patterns on the black imperial coffin dimmed, and the second pitch-black long nail trembled as it began to emerge.

Boom...

At this moment, a figure was completely enveloped in deep blue flames. The extreme cold was freezing his physical body and blood, but with an unyielding will, he pushed his cultivation technique to its limit.

Accelerating the speed of devouring, Hun Tiandi was now in a race against the deep blue flames.

Success meant mastering a mysterious flame; failure meant his life force would be frozen, turning him into ashes.

Within his sea of consciousness, the God Refining Art circulated, driving the countless orange swords of the Soul Weapon Art to rotate and block the erosion of the cold.

Inside his body, as the first wisp of deep blue flame, with the assistance of Dou Qi, successfully completed a cycle of the Qingyang Fire Control Technique, it became gentle like a spirit snake.

"Damn flame, its spirituality is so powerful."

"Back when I was refining the Yellow Spirit Fire, although it was difficult, it didn't consume such a massive amount of energy!"

What Hun Tiandi didn't know was that the Yellow Spirit Fire wasn't even worthy of carrying this mysterious flame's shoes.

Time passed quietly. The lake's surface continued to tremble, and a terrifying aura even erupted from the bottom of the lake.

The first pitch-black long nail that fell to the lake bottom was refined from an unknown material.

It had no restrictive runes or aura pressure.

It looked like an ordinary long nail, but since it was used to seal this black imperial coffin, it was clearly no ordinary object.

The owner of this tomb likely wouldn't do something as foolish as buying the box but returning the pearls.

"Suppressing Corpse?"

If one looked closely, they would find two characters branded on the bottom of the long nail, each stroke resembling ancient script.

It was definitely not the font currently popular on the Fighting Qi Continent.

Perhaps by using the two characters "Suppressing Corpse," some information could be found outside.

Whoosh...

A blood-colored figure sped along, stirring up a gale. As it reached the valley where Liu Ling and the others were resting, Liu Ling sensed an aura approaching.

"Who is it?" Liu Ling soared into the air and asked coldly.

As the gale dissipated, the person's face was revealed. Liu Ling bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Rise!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently. He flipped his hand to take out a jade box and said, "The lihuo grass is inside. Begin!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A storm surged in Liu Ling's heart; how on earth did His Majesty do it?

He actually managed to get the lihuo grass from Miss Xiao Xiao. One must know that as the pearl of the Xiao Clan, what heavenly treasures or rare medicinal herbs had she not seen?

To bring out an item that would move her heart, His Majesty must have paid a significant price.

Subsequently, Liu Ling returned to the valley, took out an alchemy cauldron and a pile of medicinal herbs, and began refining the li-huo chi-yang pill.

"Young Master, you're back?" Qing Yue said happily.

She brought out a table and chairs, set out spiritual wine, poured a cup for Hun Tiandi, and stood respectfully to the side.

"Qing Yue, have you encountered any bottlenecks in your cultivation?" Hun Tiandi asked slowly after taking a sip of the spiritual wine.

"Young Master, Qing Yue's cultivation has been very smooth. I've already promoted to the level of a one-star Dou Ling. However, for some reason recently, my eyes have been feeling a bit strange!"

Qing Yue replied.

"Oh? Let me see?" Hun Tiandi asked curiously. Qing Yue stepped forward to his side, and as their eyes met, a faint blush appeared on her small face.

Within her pair of emerald-green pupils, seven black dots could be faintly seen at the bottom, slowly rotating like two black whirlpools, soul-stirring and captivating.

If one's gaze touched them, they would be devoured and converted for her own use. It especially exerted absolute pressure on snakes, flood dragons, and even dragons.

Of course, this depended on the strength of the owner of the divine eyes; they could devour the target's power to strengthen themselves.

"This is actually... the Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes. These divine eyes are one in ten thousand even among members of the Dragon Clan!"

Hun Tiandi couldn't help but marvel; Qing Yue's luck was indeed extremely good.

But his luck was even better. A young girl he bought from an auction had actually awakened the legendary divine eyes.

Hun Tiandi was responsive to his own people's needs, giving priority to the cultivation resources of Qing Yue and the others.

This was the reason for their breakthroughs, along with their own hard work, of course.

However, as far as Hun Tiandi knew, only two people had awakened these divine eyes on the Fighting Qi Continent since ancient times. Every person who awakened the Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes...

...would have extraordinary achievements in the future.

Qing Yue was the third to awaken these divine eyes.

"Qing Yue, you must cultivate diligently. This pair of divine eyes is not simple!" Hun Tiandi instructed.

"Yes, Young Master!" Qing Yue said respectfully.

Hun Tiandi marveled at Qing Yue's awakening of the Seven Luminaries Mystic Eyes' divine ability, believing she would make good use of it.

After spending a day and a night, Liu Ling finally succeeded in refining the li-huo chi-yang pill. He let out a soft breath and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

Because there was only one set of medicinal herbs, it was still quite stressful for Liu Ling, a Tier 7 high-rank alchemist.

"Your Majesty, fortunately I did not fail. The li-huo chi-yang pill is a success!" Liu Ling spoke slowly.

"Good work. Let Yan Xing take it!" Hun Tiandi smiled faintly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Ling bowed respectfully and then turned toward the cave.

"Yan Xing, the pill is refined. Take it!"

"Okay..." Yan Xing said with some excitement. He then took the gold and red-colored pill from Liu Ling's hand and swallowed it impatiently.

Ah...

Suddenly, Yan Xing let out a painful wail. His body flickered with gold and red light, and dense corpse energy was continuously being dispelled.

"Sun True Fire, incinerate!"

Liu Ling said coldly. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of golden-yellow flame transformed into a light shield that continuously burned away the corpse energy, making a sizzling sound.

Yan Xing formed hand seals, frantically refining the medicinal power. After a day and a night, the corpse energy emerging from his body grew increasingly weaker.

When the last wisp of corpse energy was expelled from his body, his entire being glowed with gold and red light. Yan Xing used the medicinal power of the li-huo chi-yang pill...

...to break through his realm's limit. Liu Ling walked out of the cave.

At the bottom of the lake!

"He couldn't have frozen to death, could he?" Xiao Xiao wondered. There had been no movement for so long, and she sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Cai, let's set up a tombstone for him..." The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python on her shoulder nodded slightly.

Subsequently, the two of them set to work and prepared a grave on the shore of the Dead Silent Ice Lake.

They no longer held any hope that Hun Tiandi, at the bottom of the lake, was still alive.

Hun Tiandi at the bottom of the lake.

After spending several days, he had successfully devoured the deep blue flame. With a thought, he guided the deep blue flame's essence toward his Qi cyclone.

There was a space for the Yellow Spirit Fire, where a small Naling emerged, containing the essence of the Yellow Spirit Fire.

He had already opened up a small space in the Qi cyclone earlier, and the Naling was suspended in mid-air.

Hiss...

Suddenly, the Yellow Spirit Fire took on the appearance of the Golden Snake King. With a ferocious face, it provoked the essence of the deep blue flame as it circled the Qi cyclone.

Roar!

The deep blue flame seemed to be provoked. Like an angry monarch, it transformed into a divine dragon of deep blue flame essence, roaring at the sky as a kingly majesty permeated the area.

The Golden Snake King of fire was terrified and seemed to want to hide back inside the Naling.

How could the deep blue divine dragon let it have its way? With a movement of its body, it chased after the Golden Snake King.

One retreated and one advanced. Half of the Golden Snake King's body entered the Naling, but the deep blue divine dragon was too fast. It bit the Golden Snake King's head, and a violent struggle ensued.

With a pull and a tug, the deep blue flame essence couldn't brake in time and plunged headfirst into the Naling.

Sizzle!

Hun Tiandi suddenly opened his eyes. His originally pitch-black eyes had turned deep blue, like a vast ocean.

Two beams of blue fire light shot out.

eight-star Dou Ling!

By devouring the deep blue flame, Hun Tiandi's strength surged by two stars, promoting him to the level of an eight-star Dou Ling.

With a thought, he summoned the deep blue flame, which surged continuously in his palm like a spirit snake.

Extreme cold flame, freezing the void!

Innate Divine Fire, Taiyin True Fire!
