Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 100, Level 55
While Ye Qiu was refining his inner core, outside...

At this moment, Ye Qiu directly activated his Martial Soul, his body burning with orange-red flames. The high temperature of the flames caused the air around Ye Qiu to sizzle.

Ye Qiu's skin turned orange-red, and his clothes were burned off, but he did not show any signs of discomfort.

"Hiss, Xiao Qiu's fire is as sharp as ever, the temperature is even higher." Dugu Bo marveled at the flames surrounding Ye Qiu.

From Dugu Bo's perspective, Ye Qiu's flame temperature had increased to another level, which was very strange. Every time Ye Qiu advanced, the flame temperature would increase by a certain amount, making him suspect that Ye Qiu was not cultivating, but rather unleashing his own power.

It has to be said that Dugu Bo's perception was very accurate. Even Ye Qiu himself discovered that he was unsealing the power of his martial soul. Hunting for soul rings was just to gradually unleash it. Otherwise, it would be strange if the flame temperature increased every time he advanced.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu's spiritual sea.

"hiss!"

Ten phantom images of Fiery Sun Serpents appeared in Ye Qiu's spiritual sea. The ten Fiery Sun Serpents had fierce eyes and seemed to want to devour Ye Qiu alive.

"Heh, as expected of a creature born from moisture and hatched from eggs, covered in fur and horns. You couldn't beat me when you were alive, and now you think you can turn the world upside down?" Ye Qiu sneered.

For Ye Qiu, the remnant soul of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent posed little threat. Firstly, he could suppress fifty percent of the power of dragons, and snakes were also dragons, with even greater power over them. Secondly, this was his spiritual sea, and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent was an outsider, a rootless creature. Could the remnant soul of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent possibly cause any trouble in his home turf? It would be better for it to obediently become a soul ring.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu launched a fierce attack on the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents.

"hiss!"

Seeing Ye Qiu launch an attack, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent was not to be outdone and charged towards Ye Qiu with its tail dragging behind it.

Because this was Ye Qiu's mental space, coupled with the suppression of dragons, the remnant souls of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpents were quickly worn away by Ye Qiu.

After dealing with the remnant soul, Ye Qiu began to focus on refining his soul power, and a black soul ring appeared around his body.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a primordial species, it must be at least 50,000 years old."

Outside, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu's suddenly acquired fifth spirit ring in surprise.

This was the first time Dugu Bo had ever seen an inner core condense into a soul ring. And it must be said that, as expected of a rare species from the primordial era, the soul ring's age was a staggering 50,000 years. He was truly lucky.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo knew that Ye Qiu was no longer in danger and only needed to refine his soul power.

The orange-red color on Ye Qiu's body also faded, returning to her normal skin tone.

after one day.

Ye Qiu's martial soul manifested, and orange-red flames reappeared, rising like crystalline streaks of red blood. Ye Qiu trembled slightly, and in the next moment, he was completely engulfed in flames. The Vermilion Bird Flames, soaring into the sky, instantly filled the heavens. The massive flames soared into the sky, accompanied by a loud hissing sound.

"Wow!"

A dazzling Vermilion Bird flame ripped through the night sky, illuminating almost the entire Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. As it rose, the flames gradually faded, revealing a colossal figure. A large, fiery red bird soared in the air, its magnificent crimson tail feathers and perfect physique displaying the majesty of one of the Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth.

"We succeeded!" Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with joy.

It's impossible for Dugu Bo not to worry about Ye Qiu absorbing the inner core of the Ten Fiery Sun Serpents. After all, that's a lifespan of 50,000 years, while Ye Qiu's fourth ring only takes 20,000 years. He's skipped 30,000 years directly. Although he knows Ye Qiu is unlikely to have any accidents, what if something does happen? Who would he complain to if something did happen?

As for why Dugu Yan was here, it was simply because she was bored and came to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. She happened to see Ye Qiu refining his inner core when she arrived, so she decided to stay here.

A loud hissing sound kept swirling in the air, and only then did the Dugu grandfather and grandson realize how domineering Ye Qiu's martial spirit was.

"Even a six-winged angel is nothing special," Dugu Bo remarked.

Dugu Bo had only ever seen statues of six-winged angels, never the six-winged angel martial soul. The six-winged angel was a god-level martial soul, and in Dugu Bo's current understanding, god-level martial souls were nothing special.

Dugu Yan, on the other hand, had stars in her eyes. "Absorbing a soul ring and looking this cool? Are you out of your mind?"

The howling sound gradually subsided. Ye Qiu circled the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire once before slowly descending towards the shore. Even before his body landed, the intense heat had already scorched the ground. Fortunately, Ye Qiu had restrained his soul power before actually landing, thus preventing it from having an offensive effect.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was burning with orange-red flames, paired with a head of red medium-length hair, plus the feathers that grew when his martial soul was attached to him, making him look like a ruler who had walked out of the flames, and he looked noble.

"Wow! So handsome!" Dugu Yan wiped away the tears from the corner of her mouth, her eyes sparkling.

Ye Qiu's lips twitched upon hearing this. What was with this infatuated woman's expression? This wasn't right.

Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly. So what if he's a little handsome? It's not that serious, Yan Yan.

"Ahem." Dugu Bo coughed twice. "How was the harvest?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu began to talk about his own gains.

"The spirit ring is 50,000 years old, and the spirit power has increased by five levels, now it is level 55, but it may be because it was stuck at level 50 for a year before it increased so much."

After absorbing the spirit ring, Ye Qiu directly reached level 55. The 50,000-year spirit ring allowed him to advance two levels. The remaining three levels were likely accumulated from spirit rings that could not be obtained in the City of Slaughter. Overall, he advanced five levels in a year and a half. This cultivation speed for extreme attributes is quite good.

"Hmm, not bad, what about the soul skill?" Dugu Bo said, stroking his beard.

"The soul skill is called Vermilion Bird Soul Lock. It uses light and fire attributes to form fire chains to bind the target. The number of chains increases according to the number of enemies, up to a maximum of nine. If the enemy forcibly breaks free of the bindings, it will trigger a backlash of holy fire, burning the enemy's meridians until they become crippled," Ye Qiu said with a strange expression.

To be honest, Ye Qiu didn't expect this soul skill to be so abnormal. It was one thing to trap people, but it could also increase the number of enemies based on their numbers. It was the ultimate fire, and the flame temperature was extremely high. After being bound, one would have to endure the scorching heat of its ultimate fire. However, if one broke free from the restraints, it would burn one's meridians, rendering one a cripple. If one didn't break free, one would be burned to death; if one broke free, one would become a cripple. What else could this be but a rogue?

"Hiss." Dugu Bo gasped. Is this soul skill really that abnormal? After all, it is the inner core of an ancient beast. The soul skill is so domineering. However, it is also related to Ye Qiu's martial soul. Soul skills are related to the soul master's own martial soul and the source of the soul beast. The stronger one's own martial soul and soul beast, the stronger the soul skill will be. In a sense, the two are complementary.
