Chapter 369 Nine Heavenly Flames Refine a True Dragon! A Golden Seventh-Order Warrior Withstands a Legendary Tribulation!

Chapter 369: Refining a True Dragon with Nine Rounds of Heavenly Fire! Gold Rank Seventh Order Endures the Tribulation of a Legend!

Under the shocked, reverent, and admiring gazes of the crowd, Jiang Yun walked toward the final display stand.

The crimson Ore floated quietly, emitting a scorching aura.

heavenly fire profound iron.

A Saint King Rank Low Grade Ore, it could be used to forge Saint King Rank divine weapons.

The surviving team members nearby watched Jiang Yun's back, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Master Jiang... is about to start again."

Someone murmured.

"The fourth item... is he really going to take all the supreme treasures?"

"I don't know if he can succeed, but I know that in this world, there is nothing he cannot do."

"Yeah... even two Falling Star Rank powerhouses were killed by him, what else can stop him?"

The crowd discussed in low voices, looking at Jiang Yun as if they were looking at a god of slaughter.

He Yuanming stood to the side, his face full of awe.

Blood Lady didn't even dare to breathe loudly, only daring to stand far away, for fear of attracting Jiang Yun's attention.

Jiang Yun ignored everything behind him.

He stood in front of the display stand and took a deep breath.

Mental Energy surged out with a bang!

The next moment.

His vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a crimson world.

The sky was crimson.

The earth was crimson.

Everything around him was crimson.

A scorching aura permeated the air, and the temperature was terrifyingly high.

In the distance, flames were burning.

Those were no ordinary flames.

They were golden.

Silver.

Purple.

Cyan.

Heavenly fires of various colors intertwined, forming a terrifying world of flames.

Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

The temperature here made even him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Little Fellow, you've come again."

Jiang Yun turned his head.

Sure enough, it was Medicine Dust Son.

The grey-robed old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.

But this time, Jiang Yun keenly noticed that the Medicine God's gaze toward him was different than before.

Before, it was a Senior looking at a Junior, a Master looking at a Disciple.

There was appreciation, satisfaction, and kindness.

But now.

In that gaze, there was a hint of equality.

A hint of respect.

A hint of... scrutiny toward a powerhouse of the same level.

Jiang Yun's heart shivered.

He knew that all of this stemmed from the scene he had seen in the Reincarnation.

That young man who was powerful beyond imagination.

That golden giant dragon that crushed the stars.

The Medicine God already regarded him as a future peerless powerhouse.

Jiang Yun did not get carried away because of the Medicine God's change in attitude.

He still respectfully cupped his fists in salute.

"Senior."

A flash of relief appeared in Medicine Dust Son's eyes.

"Good, good."

He nodded.

"Little Fellow, I like your Heart-Nature."

"Had it been anyone else treated this way by me, they would have long ago lost themselves in pride. Yet you remain respectful, neither arrogant nor rash."

"In the future, you will surely become a great talent."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

"Senior overpraises me."

Medicine Dust Son waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about that anymore."

He looked toward that world of flames.

"This final trial tests your endurance against heavenly fire."

He looked at Jiang Yun.

"Are you confident?"

Jiang Yun thought for a moment.

"My beast is of the fire attribute. I should... be able to give it a try."

Medicine Dust Son nodded.

"A fire attribute beast does indeed have an advantage."

He paused.

"However, while this trial is dangerous, it is also a rare tempering for a fire attribute beast."

"Heavenly fire refinement, if it can endure, will be of great benefit to the beast's growth."

Jiang Yun nodded.

"I understand."

Medicine Dust Son didn't waste any more words.

He waved his hand.

The world of flames before them suddenly changed!

A massive pillar of fire descended from the sky!

The pillar of fire was golden throughout, containing an aura that could destroy heaven and earth!

Medicine Dust Son's voice rang out.

"This is the Nine Refinements of Heavenly Fire. There are nine rounds of heavenly fire in total, each stronger than the last."

"Let your beast enter it and endure the heavenly fire refinement. If it can withstand nine rounds, the heavenly fire profound iron is yours."

"If it cannot hold on midway..."

He paused.

"It can withdraw. But the trial will be considered a failure."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

He looked toward that world of flames.

The golden heavenly fire was burning fiercely.

He raised his hand and pressed it against his Beast Taming Space.

A flash of light occurred!

"Little Fire, come out!"

The next moment.

A resonant dragon roar echoed throughout the entire space!

A massive figure stepped out from the light!

It was Little Fire.

The Golden Scaled Fire Dragon Fish.

But the current Little Fire was completely different from the beginning.

Its body size had reached several zhang in length.

Its entire body was covered in gold-red scales, each scale shimmering with a metallic luster.

Its head already faintly had a dragon shape.

On top of its head, two small dragon horns had just sprouted branched tips.

Its eyes were like two burning rubies, bright and spirited.

With every breath, scorching flames sprayed from its nostrils.

Although it hadn't truly evolved into a dragon yet, that Dragon Qi already had a rudimentary form.

Medicine Dust Son looked at Little Fire, his pupils slightly contracting.

"This..."

He murmured.

"True Dragon aura?"

He stared at Little Fire, observing it carefully.

After a moment, he smiled.

That smile carried realization and appreciation.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

He looked at Jiang Yun.

"Little Fellow, your beast's Bloodline is not a purebred True Dragon, or rather, it's not a dragon-type beast, yet it could evolve into this appearance at the Gold Rank and possess a True Dragon aura..."

He shook his head.

"I have lived for over fifty thousand years and seen countless beast taming geniuses, but someone like you..."

"I am seeing for the first time."

He looked at Little Fire, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Dragon scales formed, dragon horns appearing, Dragon Qi present... this beast will surely become a great talent in the future."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

"Senior overpraises us."

He looked at Little Fire.

Little Fire was tilting its head, curiously observing this world of flames.

In those burning eyes, there was no fear, only excitement.

As if it were saying.

This place feels so comfortable.

Jiang Yun felt at ease.

"Little Fire, next, you need to enter that heavenly fire and endure nine rounds of refinement."

He paused.

"Can you... do it?"

Hearing this, Little Fire turned its head to look at Jiang Yun.

It raised its head and let out a resonant dragon roar!

That sound was full of confidence!

Then, its massive body made an extremely human-like gesture.

It raised its front claw and patted its own chest.

The meaning was clearly.

Leave it to me!

Jiang Yun laughed.

"Good."

He nodded.

"Go then. If you can't hold on, just come out. Treasures are good, but they don't compare to your safety."

Little Fire nodded.

Then, it turned around and looked at the golden heavenly fire.

Without the slightest hesitation.

It stepped forward and walked into the sea of fire!

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

The moment it stepped into the golden heavenly fire.

Boom!!!

The flames instantly swallowed it!

Jiang Yun's heart tightened, and he stared intently at the sea of fire.

Medicine Dust Son also stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep.

The first round of heavenly fire.

The golden flames burned Little Fire's body frantically.

But Little Fire was as steady as Mount Tai.

It even closed its eyes, as if enjoying it.

Medicine Dust Son nodded slightly.

"Not bad. The first round of heavenly fire is just an appetizer for a fire attribute beast."

The second round of heavenly fire.

The golden flames began to be mixed with silver.

The temperature rose suddenly.

Little Fire still didn't move an inch.

The third round of heavenly fire.

Silver flames became dominant, with golden as a supplement.

Heat started rising from Little Fire's body.

But it still did not move.

The fourth round of heavenly fire.

Purple began to appear within the silver flames.

The temperature was already high enough to melt ordinary metal.

The scales on Little Fire's body began to glow slightly.

That was it circulating its fire attribute power to resist the heavenly fire.

A flash of appreciation appeared in Medicine Dust Son's eyes.

"Four rounds."

He murmured.

"To be able to endure four rounds of heavenly fire, this beast's Aptitude and potential have already reached the Falling Star Rank."

He looked at Jiang Yun.

"However, I suppose this is not its limit."

Jiang Yun didn't speak.

He just stared intently at Little Fire in the sea of fire.

The fifth round of heavenly fire.

Purple flames became dominant, with silver as a supplement.

The temperature soared once again!

Little Fire's body began to tremble slightly.

But its gaze remained firm.

The sixth round of heavenly fire.

Cyan began to appear within the purple flames.

This was an extremely terrifying type of heavenly fire.

Cyan Lotus Heavenly Fire.

It was said that it could incinerate all things.

Little Fire's body trembled even more violently.

Its scales began to become scalding hot.

Its skin began to show tiny cracks.

But it still did not retreat.

Jiang Yun's heart tightened.

"Little Fire..."

A flash of surprise appeared in Medicine Dust Son's eyes.

"Six rounds."

He murmured.

"To be able to endure six rounds, this beast's Aptitude and potential have already reached the Sun-Level."

He looked at Little Fire, his gaze becoming solemn.

"This Little Fellow is even tougher and more resilient than I imagined! To be able to withstand six rounds of heavenly fire at the Gold Rank Realm, its perseverance is truly supreme!"

As Medicine Dust Son spoke.

The seventh round of heavenly fire.

Cyan flames became dominant, with purple as a supplement.

The temperature was already terrifying beyond imagination.

Large areas of cracks began to appear on Little Fire's body.

Blood seeped out from the cracks.

But as soon as that blood appeared, it was evaporated by the heavenly fire.

Little Fire's body was trembling.

Its gaze remained firm.

But could it hold on?

Medicine Dust Son's eyes lit up.

"Seven rounds!"

His voice even carried a hint of excitement.

"To be able to endure seven rounds, this beast's Aptitude and potential have already reached the Legendary Rank!"

He looked at Little Fire, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Gold Rank, Legendary Aptitude potential... just what kind of True Dragon-related Bloodline does this Little Fellow have?!"

Jiang Yun did not answer.

He just stared fixedly at Little Fire.

He felt some heartache seeing those bloody wounds.

At this time.

The eighth round of heavenly fire.

Arrived.

Within the cyan flames, an eerie color began to appear.

Colorless.

Colorless Heavenly Fire.

That was the most terrifying existence within the Heavenly Fire.

Because it did not burn the flesh.

Instead, it scorched the Soul!

Little Fire's body trembled violently.

Its eyes began to grow dazed.

Its consciousness was enduring an unimaginable torment!

But it still did not retreat!

It was gritting its teeth and persevering!

It was using its will to confront the Heavenly Fire!

Medicine Dust Son had already stood up.

His eyes were full of shock.

"Eight rounds!"

Even his voice was trembling.

"To be able to survive eight rounds... this is the potential of a Saint King Rank Aptitude!"

He looked at Little Fire as if looking at a miracle.

"Gold Rank, Saint King Rank Aptitude... this is impossible! This is simply impossible!"

"Even with a True Dragon Bloodline, it's impossible to display the potential of Saint King Rank Aptitude at the Gold Rank!"

He looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes filled with horror.

"Little Fellow, what exactly is the background of this beast of yours?!"

Jiang Yun did not answer Medicine Dust Son's question.

His gaze remained fixed deathly on Little Fire.

Because.

The ninth round of Heavenly Fire had arrived.

Colorless Heavenly Fire completely took dominance.

The gold, silver, purple, and green all disappeared.

Only that eerie colorless flame remained, crazily scorching Little Fire's Soul.

In Little Fire's eyes, the light began to scatter.

Its body began to totter on the verge of collapse.

Its Qi began to grow disordered.

It was about to be unable to hold on.

Jiang Yun's pupils constricted sharply!

"Little Fire!"

He took a step forward, about to recall Little Fire into the Beast Taming Space.

He could do without the treasure.

Little Fire absolutely must not come to harm!

However.

At the very moment he was prepared to act.

A powerful intention came from within the sea of fire!

That intention carried stubbornness, unwillingness, and a determination to never retreat!

It was Little Fire!

It was saying:

"Master! Believe in me! I can do it!"

"Let me continue!"

Jiang Yun was stunned.

He looked at that swaying figure in the sea of fire, his eyes full of complexity.

"Little Fire..."

Medicine Dust Son was also stunned.

He looked at that figure and murmured,

"It... it still wants to continue?"

He shook his head and sighed.

"What a pity. Eight rounds is already the limit. The ninth round is a tribulation that even a Legendary Rank cannot easily endure. Forcing itself to persist will only..."

He did not continue.

But his meaning was already very obvious.

Jiang Yun remained silent.

He looked at Little Fire.

He looked at that blood-soaked, swaying figure that still refused to withdraw.

He saw the determination in Little Fire's eyes.

He saw the pride in Little Fire's heart.

He saw Little Fire's thirst to become stronger.

He remembered that scene in the Reincarnation.

That golden giant Dragon that crushed the stars.

That gaze that looked down upon all living beings.

That was Little Fire's future.

And now, Little Fire was taking its own step toward that future.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath.

He did not recall Little Fire.

He just stood there, looking at Little Fire.

His gaze was full of trust.

"Little Fire, I believe in you."

He said softly.

"Go on."

In the sea of fire.

Little Fire seemed to hear Jiang Yun's voice.

Its scattered gaze suddenly became clear and bright!

It threw back its head and let out a world-shaking dragon roar!

That roar was no longer a howl of pain.

Instead, it was...

An unyielding battle song!

Boom!!!

The ninth round of Heavenly Fire completely erupted!

Colorless flames completely swallowed Little Fire!

Little Fire's body began to crack!

Its flesh began to melt away!

Its bones began to show!

It was about to die!

But it was still persisting!

Its gaze was still determined!

Just then.

A transformation occurred!

Little Fire's body suddenly erupted with a brilliant light!

It was a golden light!

Different from the gold of the Heavenly Fire.

That was...

The gold of a Dragon!

Within the light, Little Fire's body began to undergo a change!

Its cracked scales began to fall off.

New scales grew out from the flesh.

Those new scales were harder, more brilliant, as if forged from pure gold!

Its melting flesh began to be reborn.

The new flesh was tougher, more powerful, containing terrifying strength!

Its exposed bones began to transform.

The new bones were thicker and heavier, as if cast from divine iron!

It was like a Rebirth from the ashes.

And most astonishingly.

Its flames began to change!

Originally, Little Fire's flames were red.

But now, gold began to appear within the red!

That gold was exactly the same as the gold of the Heavenly Fire!

No!

It wasn't similar.

It was! Fusion!

Little Fire was absorbing the Heavenly Fire!

It was merging the Heavenly Fire into its own flames!

Medicine Dust Son stood up abruptly!

His eyes were wide and round!

His mouth was wide open!

His entire person was trembling!

"How... how is this possible?!"

His voice was even breaking.

"It's merging with the Heavenly Fire?! It's turning the Heavenly Fire into its own power?!"

"This is impossible! This is simply impossible!!"

"Heavenly Fire is the most violent fire power in the world, how could it be absorbed and merged?!"

But the fact was right before his eyes.

Little Fire's body was being reshaped in the golden light.

Little Fire's flames were transforming within the golden Heavenly Fire.

At the same time.

Little Fire's aura was climbing crazily!

Gold Rank Seventh Order Middle Stage!

Gold Rank Seventh Order Late Stage!

Gold Rank Seventh Order Peak!

Boom!!!

Gold Rank Eight!

It hadn't stopped yet!

Gold Rank Eight Early Stage!

Gold Rank Eight Middle Stage!

Gold Rank Eight Late Stage!

Gold Rank Eight Peak!!!

Only after rushing all the way to Gold Rank Eight Peak did that aura slowly stabilize.

And Little Fire's body had completely changed.

Its size had grown another size larger.

Its scales had turned into a brilliant gold.

Its dragon horns had grown another section, becoming even more majestic.

Its eyes burned with golden flames.

Those flames were exactly the same as the Heavenly Fire.

It just floated there in the Heavenly Fire.

Those Heavenly Fires no longer scorched it.

Instead, they surrounded it like subjects surrounding a king.

Little Fire lowered its head and looked at its own body.

Then, it raised its head and looked toward Jiang Yun.

Those golden eyes were full of excitement.

There was also a hint of smugness.

As if saying:

"Master, I did it."

Jiang Yun stood where he was, looking at Little Fire.

His eyes were also full of shock.

More than that, it was gratification.

It was pride.

He also hadn't expected Little Fire to be able to Breakthrough in this desperate situation, even gaining a transformation from the disaster.

No wonder Little Fire had been so confident from the start.

It clearly had some foreknowledge.

Ye Cheng's Heavenly Fire Trial would be an Opportunity for it.

"Good boy."

Standing to the side, Medicine Dust Son couldn't help but exclaim.

Watching this scene.

His eyes were full of complexity.

Shock.

Appreciation.

And a hint of awe.

He looked at Little Fire's golden scales, the golden flames, and that body that looked more and more like a True Dragon.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene Jiang Yun saw in the Reincarnation.

That golden giant Dragon that crushed the stars.

That young man who looked down upon all living beings.

He looked at Little Fire, then back at Jiang Yun.

He murmured,

"What was seen in the Reincarnation... is actually true..."

"Could this Little Fellow's future really..."

He did not continue.

Because it was too shocking.

Shocking enough that even a Saint King who had lived for fifty thousand years like him was left speechless.

Little Fire walked out of the sea of fire.

It walked up to Jiang Yun, lowered its head, and rubbed against him.

That intimate action formed a sharp contrast with its majestic body.

Jiang Yun reached out and patted its head.

"Hard work, go back to the Beast Taming Space and have a good rest."

Little Fire let out a satisfied soft snort.

Then it returned to Jiang Yun's Beast Taming Space.

Medicine Dust Son took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He looked at Jiang Yun and spoke slowly.

"Little Fellow, I have lived for over fifty thousand years, and I have never seen a person like you."

"Nor have I ever seen such a Heaven-Defying beast."

He shook his head.

"I can no longer see through your future."

He raised his hand, and a beam of light flew out from the fire world, landing in Jiang Yun's hand.

It was a piece of Ore.

Crimson red, about the size of a fist.

On the surface, fire patterns faintly jumped and flickered.

It was clearly the heavenly fire profound iron.

Jiang Yun solemnly put the Ore into his Storage Ring.

He looked at Medicine Dust Son and gave a deep bow.

"Thank you, Senior."

Medicine Dust Son waved his hand.

"No need to thank me. This is what you earned yourselves."

He looked at Little Fire, his eyes full of emotion.

"Nurture it well."

"Its future will surely be limitless."

Jiang Yun nodded.

"This Junior understands."

Medicine Dust Son nodded.

"Go on."

He waved his hand.

The light before his eyes gradually dissipated.

Jiang Yun only felt his vision blur for a moment.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the main hall.

In front of him was that crimson display stand.

The light on the stand had already vanished.

The heavenly fire profound iron lay quietly in his hand.

Around him were countless pairs of eyes shocked to the extreme.

"Master Jiang... succeeded again..."

Someone murmured, their voice trembling.

"The fourth item! The fourth supreme treasure!"

"Heavens! Is he even human?! Only one of the five supreme treasures is left, it seems this last one will also be Master Jiang's for the taking!"

The cries of surprise were deafening.

Jiang Yun paid no attention to those voices.

He just lowered his head, looking at the heavenly fire profound iron in his hand.

This heavenly fire profound iron felt extremely heavy in his hand.

It didn't look large.

Only about the size of a palm.

Yet it weighed over a hundred catties.

"Although this profound iron is of no use for now, I can keep it; perhaps in the future I can forge a decent Treasure Tool for myself or my beast."
