radicalducati 663. The Solution
663. The Solution
Burning Flame Valley is not a family like the Spirit Clan, with its deep-rooted lineage and the bloodline of a Dou Di, capable of freely commanding peerless experts at the Dou Sheng level. The entire Burning Flame Valley only has the Fire Cloud Ancestor as its pillar of strength! If he were to meet with misfortune and perish on the spot tonight, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire Burning Flame Valley, leaving Tang Zhen with no choice but to be anxious.
Mu Wei glanced around, and after a moment, he could only exhale a deep breath of turbid air with immense helplessness, and said in a dry voice, "This is not something that can be solved by setting it up quickly. No matter what, this great formation is centered around a six-star Dou Sheng level expert, plus six people assisting. Even if I find a slightly insufficient external node, it will still require the power of a Dou Sheng level to possibly pry it open."
"At the very least, you must have the power of a one-star Dou Sheng," Mu Wei added as if to confirm.
These words plunged everyone into silence once more, their mood even more somber than before. Mu Wei's words were clear, so clear they instilled despair!
They certainly didn't possess the power of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint). Even if everyone's power were perfectly combined, it would be difficult to say they would reach the Dou Sheng level. After all, the word "Saint" carries immense weight. There are still many exceptionally talented individuals here, and with the support of their backers, Qing Lin and Lei Jingxiao are almost certain to reach the Dou Sheng level. However, they are still too young, too young to shake anything at present.
The power they could summon at the Dou Sheng level was now trapped, leaving them truly helpless.
"If Aunt Yan were here, she could definitely cut this broken formation in half with one sword," Lei Jingxiao muttered, somewhat unconvinced.
"Then call him over!" Zi Yan was somewhat agitated by the situation, her eyebrows furrowed as she confronted Lei Jingxiao.
But this time, Lei Jingxiao immediately ran out of breath. The cold reality before him was ultimately undeniable, and he helplessly lowered his head. He had experienced this feeling of helplessness many times tonight.
Speaking of the power of a Dou Sheng, both the Lei Clan behind Lei Jingxiao and the Yan Clan behind Huo Zhi possess it, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Both of them are unable to mobilize the power within their clans for their own reasons, so at this moment they are left with only helplessness.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had also fallen silent, Qing Lin, who had been standing quietly beside Little Fairy Doctor, biting her lower lip tightly, repeatedly clenched and unclenched her hands inside her wide, emerald-green sleeves.
A fierce internal struggle seemed to be raging in her clear eyes. Finally, as if she had made a huge decision, she took a deep breath and asked Xiao Yan, "Young Master, shall I give it a try?"
In tonight's great battle, Qing Lin's role was no less significant than Xiao Yan's. Everyone witnessed Qing Lin, with Lei Jingxiao's assistance, holding off the half-saint level expert, Tianming Laoyao. Now, no one regards Qing Lin as a simple maid anymore; some are even tempted: can Qing Lin truly continue to create miracles and break through this great formation?
However, just as everyone's expectant gazes focused on Qing Lin, Xiao Yan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with profound worry. He looked at Qing Lin's pale face, pale from the repeated battles, and sensed the undisguised exhaustion in her breath. Finally, he took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Qing Lin, no!"
"You've also had a tough night. Don't even mention that you just fought a semi-saint level expert. Even at your peak, your power limit is definitely not above the semi-saint realm. Trying to break through is too difficult."
No one could refute this statement, after all, human strength has its limits, and everyone has their own boundaries. Even if Qing Lin hasn't truly reached his limit tonight, attempting to break through a Dou Sheng-level formation would indeed be quite dangerous.
However, Xiao Yan did not only come to stop Qing Lin; he calmly stated his plans.
"I'll do it!"
These three simple words shocked everyone present once again! Xiao Yan was preparing to break the formation. Could it be that after the fierce battle of that level just now, he still had some hidden methods he hadn't used? And was he confident that he could do even better than Qing Lin now?
"Old Xiao, don't push yourself!" Wei Jiangyuan advised with some concern, having witnessed most of Xiao Yan's fierce battle tonight. He also understood what the intensity of the battles Xiao Yan had experienced meant for a three-star Dou Zun.
Inside the Pill Tower, if he hadn't broken the void restriction, they would have been helpless and could only be defeated by the Spirit Race.
It was Xiao Yan who single-handedly ventured into the top floor of the Pill Tower to try and rescue Xuan Yi, and it was he who dealt with Xuan Lei Zi, the traitor of the Pill Tower.
It was he who stopped Ling Feng, the pride of the Spirit Clan, which gave Zi Yan time to use the Space Jade to summon a Dou Sheng to come and support her.
At this moment, everyone interpreted Xiao Yan's anxiety and determination as stemming from concern for his master's wife, Xuan Yi, and his ally, Mu Yaoyin, trapped in the formation. However, what the crowd couldn't fully grasp was the true turmoil within Xiao Yan's heart—he was genuinely anxious about Xuan Yi and Mu Yaoyin's predicament. But his decision to step forward at this moment wasn't merely an impulsive act of desperation; he already had a plan in mind, and an idea had taken shape within him.
Xiao Yan ignored the crowd's advice and doubts. His expression was more solemn than ever before, his eyes growing brighter and sharper. His thoughts became increasingly clear: he had to try. If he succeeded, there was a high probability that the dangerous situation tonight could be resolved!
A Destructive Fire Lotus formed by the fusion of seven different flames!
Normally, such a thing would be unthinkable, given the scarcity of rare flames. But now it's possible! Xiao Yan himself possesses three rare flames: the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Sea Core Flame, and the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. Furthermore, Saint Pill City still has the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which have just been freed.
In addition to the strange black flames within Xiao Yan's body, he has a total of seven different types of strange flames at his disposal.
Not long ago, in order to rescue Xuan Yi, he had tried his best at the top of the Pill Tower to fuse five different flames to create a Destruction Lotus. Although that attempt failed to achieve the desired effect due to the special protection of the formation, the terrifying power unleashed by the five-colored lotus was enough to kill a half-saint powerhouse.
At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder: what if it were six colors, or even seven colors?
As the number of flames increases, the power of the fire lotus will also be continuously strengthened. The accumulation of that energy is not as simple as one plus one.
