32: Howling wolf shadows, demonic flames raging

"Master, it's just ahead."

Xiao Yan raised its fox paw and pointed forward.

"However, a Grotto-Heaven Realm Fire Python lives there. It's very powerful. Master, can you beat it?"

Qin Tian smiled, "As for fighting, just leave it to her."

"Oh, Big Brother, are you the hired muscle Master brought along?"

You Ruoli: "?"

She, the dignified Great Qian Empress, had become a 'hired muscle'?

"Big Brother Thug, you must be careful. This Fire Python not only breathes fire but also spits poison. However, it's afraid of water-attribute Profound Techniques and Magic Treasures."

Xiao Yan spoke solemnly, "To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Master and I will wait here. Big Brother Thug, call us when you're done fighting..."

You Ruoli: "..."

"Wait here!"

As her voice fell, she flickered and disappeared.

"Master, quick! While Big Brother Thug is distracting the Fire Python, let's sneak in through the side path." Xiao Yan's eyes darted around shiftily as it pointed in another direction.

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"You little fellow, you certainly have a lot of schemes."

"However, it won't be necessary..."

In less than ten breaths, You Ruoli reappeared, dragging a red Fire Python dozens of meters long and covered in scales.

The python's head was caved in, completely lifeless, clearly killed by a single brutal punch... Xiao Yan's fox eyes widened in disbelief, "Ma... Master... this Big Brother Thug is way too powerful!"

Qin Tian smiled.

Although You Ruoli was only a Dao Entry Realm dao seed incarnation, the insights and Divine Abilities of her true body remained.

Dealing with a Grotto-Heaven Realm Fire Python was truly a dimensional suppression.

In the entire Fallen Dragon Grotto, the number of creatures that could withstand a single blow from her could be counted on one hand.

"Solved."

You Ruoli clapped her hands and threw the Fire Python's corpse beside Qin Tian.

"A Grotto-Heaven Realm Fire Python is quite a tonic for the Dao Entry Realm. It's yours."

Qin Tian wasn't polite at all and directly stored it in his storage ring.

The two people and the fox continued forward and soon reached the place surrounded by flames that Xiao Yan had mentioned.

"System, is it here?"

【Yes, Host. The Howling Moon Demonic Fire Seed is right here!】

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up as light emanated from his fingertips.

"Take this."

You Ruoli was slightly stunned. She took the jade bottle Qin Tian handed over, opened it, and looked, "void refining dao transformation water?!!"

"Why did you bring this thing?"

As the Great Qian Empress, how could she not know what void refining dao transformation water was?

It erodes dao seeds and erases the power of Heaven and Earth. Once an ownerless dao seed is touched by it, it is destined to wither and perish!

If a Cultivator accidentally swallows it, the dao seed within their body will also be eroded.

At best, their Realm would regress; at worst, the dao seed would leave the body, turning them directly into a cripple.

Qin Tian actually brought a whole storage ring of such a terrifying thing?

"Don't just stand there. We'll take half each. There's a dao seed inside this sea of fire. Find it, then drench it!"

"Why don't you claim this dao seed from the fire? Looking at the power of this sea of flames, it's at least heaven grade."

Qin Tian shook his head, "A heaven grade dao seed is useless to me, but this thing will definitely be of great use to Xiao Chen!"

"Before he arrives, we'll tamper with it and then give him a big gift!"

You Ruoli gradually understood what Qin Tian wanted to do.

Her lips pursed, revealing a meaningful smile, "You fellow, you really know how to set people up..."

Xiao Yan looked bewildered, completely failing to understand.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Swallow the fire and see if you can awaken the Bloodline Divine Ability within your body."

"Okay, Master, I can do that!" Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately leaped into the sea of fire and began devouring the flames in large gulps.

Qin Tian and You Ruoli split up. Their Divine Thoughts spread out completely, conducting a carpet search, not letting a single corner escape.

Half an hour later, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up!

Within his Divine Thoughts, a few miles away from him, a wolf shadow condensed from flames was constantly leaping within the sea of fire.

"Found it!"

Qin Tian sent a sound transmission as he and You Ruoli slowly closed in.

The flame wolf shadow was completely unaware.

It wasn't until the two of them soared into the air that the wolf shadow howled at the sky, channeling the surrounding sea of fire in an attempt to swallow them both.

「Yin Underworld Repulsion: Tear Erosion」!

Behind Qin Tian, a Tear of the Hanging Heavens dripped down, and the Yin Ming Cold Water instantly extinguished the surrounding sea of fire.

You Ruoli's body stiffened as she looked at Qin Tian in disbelief.

Along the way, she had never seen Qin Tian take action.

Although she was mentally prepared and knew he must have some skill, seeing that mysterious cold water with her own eyes now still caused her heart to jolt!

As a powerhouse who reflected the Nine Heavens, she actually couldn't see through that single tear behind Qin Tian!

"Don't daze off, trap it!"

Qin Tian shouted.

You Ruoli's thoughts instantly snapped back as a dragon's roar shook the heavens within her body.

Several strands of Dragon Qi flew out, condensing into a Heaven and Earth Great Array in mid-air, which then descended directly.

Boom!

The originally raging sea of fire was suppressed in an instant.

The Howling Heaven wolf shadow was directly shattered by the golden Dragon Qi, turning into wisps that rushed into the center of the fire.

The two of them looked closely. At the center of the sea of fire where the array was confined, a wolf-shaped dao seed constantly floated, its surface emitting a powerful demonic fire aura.

howling heaven demonic fire seed (heaven grade)!

Imprisoned by the Dragon Qi Great Array, this dao seed could no longer move an inch.

"There seems to be a special aura within this dao seed; it's definitely no ordinary heaven grade!"

Qin Tian smiled slightly and took out the void refining dao transformation water.

"It doesn't matter what aura it has."

As his words fell, the void refining dao transformation water was poured directly onto the howling heaven demonic fire seed.

Immediately, a pained hiss came from the dao seed, and a demonic wolf shadow floated out from it before completely dissipating.

"Isn't this... a bit too wasteful?" You Ruoli spoke softly.

A heaven grade dao seed was a very rare existence even throughout the Great Qian Empire.

"Something that is destined not to belong to us should be destroyed directly!"

"Otherwise, that kid Xiao Chen will surely benefit!"

You Ruoli paused.

She didn't believe for a second that Xiao Chen had the ability to snatch this dao seed from her hands.

However, since she had agreed to follow Qin Tian's lead, she wouldn't say much.

Whatever Qin Tian wanted to do, he would do, and she only needed to cooperate.

After all, her goals were only the great li dragon qi and that Xiao Family treasure.

"Qin Tian, what Divine Ability did you use just now?"

"It's a secret."

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up, and he didn't answer.

「Disorderly Gold Splint · Silk-like Threads」

He held the dao seed, fully focused, as Profound Gold Threads flowed from his fingertips.

The Profound Gold Threads were attached with the power of Yin Ming Cold Water. The moment they touched the dao seed, they actually sliced a gap into it!

You Ruoli's pupils shrank, her eyes filled with shock.

"You can actually break open a dao seed?"

Qin Tian raised his hand, and countless amounts of void refining dao transformation water gushed out and gathered together, forming a ball of water.

Under the evaporation of spiritual energy, the water ball continuously shrank, finally concentrating into a single drop the size of morning dew.

Qin Tian carefully sent that concentrated drop of void refining dao transformation water into the dao seed.

"Let's add some extra ingredients for you!"

「Myriad Things Birth · Morning Dew」

Morning dew emerged from his fingertips, eventually completely repairing the cut on the howling heaven demonic fire seed.

You Ruoli was completely stunned.

"Water, Metal, Wood..."

"He simultaneously possesses three of the Five Elements' powers, and they are so profound and hard to see through!"

"Just who is this guy?"

"And what exactly is his dao seed?"

At this moment, You Ruoli's curiosity about Qin Tian surpassed everything else!

"It's finally done."

Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Yan, you stay here. When a guy named Xiao Chen arrives, find a way to make him swallow this dead seed, understand?"

"Don't worry, Master, mission guaranteed!"

"Everything is in order. It's time to find my Junior Sisters. I wonder where they are now and if they've found any opportunities?"

Qin Tian took out the sound transmission jade and sent messages to his three Junior Sisters.

However, in the next moment, his expression changed instantly.

Not a single one of the three Junior Sisters responded to his transmission...!
