79: Canaan Academy faces a powerful enemy!

Yin Soul Mountain Range.

Following the guidance of his treasure-hunting ability, Xiao Lei found a secluded cave in a remote, continuous mountain range in the Black-Corner Region.

Inside the cave, two "Life-Devouring Pills" were stored.

"Xiao Lei, what kind of Medicinal Pill is this? You've been looking at it so excitedly for so long!"

The Xiao Yi Xian asked suspiciously, clearly unaware of what kind of magical power such a red Medicinal Pill possessed to make Xiao Lei stare at it and study it for so long.

Ever since that day outside Black Emperor City when he killed all the attackers, Xiao Lei had been wandering with a few people in some remote areas of the Black-Corner Region.

Hai Bodong and Ye Cheng both huddled to the side, not interjecting. Both had suffered serious injuries in the great battle a few days prior. Although Xiao Lei provided Medicinal Pills to help them recover, it wasn't something that could be resolved in an instant.

"Hehe, don't underestimate this Medicinal Pill. Even with my current Alchemy, the success rate of refining it is less than thirty percent!"

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian showed a surprised expression. She knew that Xiao Lei could refine seventh-grade Medicinal Pills, so this must be at least a high-grade seventh-grade Medicinal Pill!

"This tiny Medicinal Pill can allow a person with no Cultivation talent to directly Breakthrough to the Dou King Realm in a very short time..."

Hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian was immediately startled, her expression changing.

She thought that she possessed the Calamity Poison Body, and it took her a considerable amount of time to Cultivate to Dou King. Yet, a Medicinal Pill could directly save all that time!

The Xiao Yi Xian remembered that her Calamity Poison Body also had hidden dangers, so she asked curiously, "Are there any side effects?"

"Naturally, there are. After taking this Medicinal Pill, one's lifespan will only be three years, unless one Breakthroughs to Dou Emperor within three years. Otherwise, after three years, one will die on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian's expression eased somewhat. If there truly were no side effects, it would be hard to imagine how popular this Medicinal Pill would be.

"Is it delicious?"

At this moment, beside Xiao Lei, a little purple-haired loli stared at the red Medicinal Pill in Xiao Lei's hand, and couldn't help but wipe her own uncontrollable drool!

The little loli was Zi Yan. Relying on her intuition for high-value items, this fellow actually found Xiao Lei.

And then this fellow latched onto Xiao Lei... "Little girl, it's not that I'm chasing you away, does Su Qian know you secretly ran out? I think you should hurry back to Jia Nan Academy, lest Grand Elder Su Qian think I kidnapped you!"

Xiao Lei also had no choice with this little loli. Perhaps she knew that Xiao Lei wasn't willing to take her along yet, so she usually didn't interfere with Xiao Lei's various matters.

It was just that whenever Xiao Lei was idle, she would start chattering.

"Hmph! I'll leave if you promise to help me refine the Transformation Pill!"

Saying that, Zi Yan darted in front of Xiao Lei, grabbed his hand, and was about to act spoiled, but the drool by her mouth directly wiped onto Xiao Lei's sleeve.

Xiao Lei sighed helplessly, put the Pill Formula he had found into his storage ring, and then no longer tried to chase Zi Yan away.

Although the side effects of the Life-Devouring Pill were significant, in Xiao Lei's eyes, there wasn't no solution. If used properly, it could naturally help some people with weaker talent gain considerable strength.

However, to achieve this, Xiao Lei still needed a crucial strange flame — the Fallen Heart Flame!

A strange flame known as a cheat for Cultivation.

"Mu Gu Old Man, it's been so many days, it's about time you showed up..."

Xiao Lei's Soul Strength extended out of the cave, looking towards the direction of Jia Nan Academy within the Black-Corner Region.

In the distant inner academy, the originally peaceful environment was broken by a gloomy voice.

"Senior Brother, why hide from me!"

The next moment, Mu Gu Old Man's emaciated figure appeared above Jia Nan Academy, his thin body unable to conceal the Aura that made the Void Realm tremble.

In an instant, the voice seemed to carry its own pressure, forcing all the students moving in the inner academy to the ground. Those with weaker Cultivation even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking utterly disheveled... At the same time, within the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, Xiao Yan, who was in seclusion Cultivating, felt an extraordinary Aura stirring at the bottom of the tower... The next moment, feeling this terrifying Aura, Su Qian quickly stepped into the air.

"Who exactly is this person...?"

Feeling the surging Dou Qi around Mu Gu Old Man, Su Qian could only recall facing the Dean, who was like a Divine Dragon that showed its head but not its tail, back then.

That's right! Mention the Dean's name!

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. Only by mentioning the Dean's name might they be able to persuade the other party to retreat.

"May I ask who Senior is? Do you happen to know our Jia Nan Academy's Dean, Mang Tianchi...?"

"What kind of junior is that? Never heard of him!"

Ignoring Su Qian, Mu Gu Old Man waved his sleeve, striking out several streaks of Dou Qi, immediately sending Su Qian flying.

Releasing his Soul Strength to scan the entire Jia Nan Academy, Mu Gu Old Man quickly found his target, directly locking onto the majestic tall tower, "Senior Brother! The game of hide-and-seek is over!"

The Aura of a Dou Venerate overflowed, and a giant Dou Qi palm condensed out of thin air, grabbing towards the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.

At this critical moment, two figures with immense Auras pierced through the Void Realm, appearing above Jia Nan Academy, proudly facing the descending giant palm.

No words were needed; their cooperation was already integrated into their Bloodline.

Qian Mu blasted out a verdant green Dou Qi from his hand, transforming it into a giant emerald tree in front of him, while Bai Lie waved his hand, conjuring a golden flame.

The golden flames wrapped around the giant emerald tree, instantly causing the firelight to blaze, with flames soaring into the sky.

Bang!

The fiercely burning flames violently collided with Mu Gu Old Man's black flame giant hand. For a moment, the Void Realm collapsed, an energy storm churned, even forming a storm within the Void Realm.

The fierce wind howled, but the figures of the three remained unmoving, standing high in the sky.

"Interesting, you two can actually withstand one of my moves with your Dou Zong Cultivation. You are worthy of me remembering your names!"

Seeing the strength of the two, although they had blocked one of his moves, they couldn't sustain it. Mu Gu Old Man felt victory was assured and couldn't help but assume the demeanor of a strong person.

However, what he received was only the mockery of Qian Mu and Bai Lie, "Your Excellency, why bother with such pretense? We didn't see any demeanor when you previously injured our academy's students!"

"Enough talk, a battle will tell!"

Qian Mu and Bai Lie were both full of fighting spirit. Having remained at the Dou Zong Realm for many years, both yearned for the mysterious Dou Venerate Realm. It was a rare opportunity to fight a Dou Venerate, and perhaps they could glimpse something from it to enter that Realm.

Their words, not unexpectedly, enraged Mu Gu Old Man.

"Hmph! Two Dou Zong, after taking one move from this Venerate, you really think you're somebody!"

Feeling disrespected, Mu Gu Old Man immediately stirred all of his Dou Qi. For a time, sand and stones flew, and energy raged.

Qian Mu and Bai Lie exchanged glances upon hearing this, then formed a hand Seal.

The next moment, in the four directions of the inner academy, a vast wave of Dou Qi emerged. A magnificent Formation slowly appeared, and from the top of the Scripture Pavilion in the outer academy, a thick pillar of energy light shot directly towards the large Formation above.

The large Formation cast down two golden rays of light, which fell upon the two, their golden light dazzling, like flowing radiance.

With every gesture, it was as if heaven and earth assisted them, their Aura extraordinary!

The two joined forces and once again clashed head-on with Mu Gu Old Man... They were evenly matched!

However, just as the situation stabilized, a fierce Aura suddenly erupted from within the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.

"Jia Nan Academy, the grudge of years of imprisonment, today, I shall settle it all!"

The Fallen Heart Flame, dormant for many years, wantonly unleashed its accumulated energy as if it were worthless, immediately creating cracks in the Seal.

"All Elders of Jia Nan Academy, heed my command! Form a Formation and suppress the Fallen Heart Flame with me!"

Su Qian reacted quickly, immediately appearing at the top of the tower, his Dou Qi pouring down, fully repairing the Formation.

The Elders of Jia Nan Academy continuously emerged, joining the struggle against the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, in the Void Realm, a huge Dragon body was leisurely swimming, heading towards the inside of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.

Mu Gu Old Man, as a Dou Venerate, was the first to sense this Aura, and then Qian Mu and Bai Lie also noticed Xiao Lei.

However, it was absolutely impossible for the three to cease fighting because of this.

"Hmph, it has nothing to do with me, let them worry about it!"

"First, block this Dou Venerate, otherwise all will be lost!"

Just like that, relying on the mutual restraint of the two sides, Xiao Lei rushed into the bottom world of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, heading straight for a certain space...
