Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

"Senior, it's best not to move rashly. These six fire beasts are all one-star Dou Ling. Although each one is far inferior to you, if I control them to self-destruct at the same time, even a Dou Wang expert would be injured."

Xiao Yan was not joking. After all, this thing was a strange fire. Even a Dou Huang would find it difficult to withstand the temperature. If it were to be detonated in such a confined space, even a low-star Dou Wang would be severely injured on the spot.

"Boy, is the flame you're controlling some kind of strange fire?"

The old man had already been suspicious when his ice spear was instantly melted. The fact that a six or seven-star Dou Ling could summon six fire beasts of Dou Ling strength was something that even a Di-rank Dou Technique might not be able to achieve. This kind of improvement was truly terrifying.

Therefore, the old man immediately thought of the strange fire. This young man not only had the cultivation level of a fighting spirit at a young age, but he could also improve his cultivation level through special secret methods, in addition to possessing a strange fire.

These three points combined made the old man wonder if the person before him was from a super power outside the Northwest Continent.

Moreover, the brief exchange just now made him realize that the opponent's cultivation level was also extremely high, and his battle qi was even more refined than his own, which was something that a Xuan-level cultivation technique could not achieve.

Based on all these factors, the old man was almost certain that the young man before him must be from a super power from another continent.

Xiao Yan, feeling smug, put away the remaining map and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the old man stopped Xiao Yan: "Young friend, I admit that you are indeed a formidable young man, but you should not be too proud. The fragment of the map in your hand is actually only half of the original. If you collect the complete ancient treasure map in the future and find that a small part is missing, it will probably be very difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing the visitor's words, Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks. He took out the fragment of the map he had just obtained and compared it with the original one, discovering that it was indeed only half of the original map.

"Old sir, you're telling me this on purpose, not just to provoke me, are you?"

Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks, not angry. The fact that the other party spoke at this time meant that he must have his own purpose.

"Young friend, in my current state, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to talk."

Xiao Yan immediately understood what the other party meant, and then withdrew the fire beast: "Old sir, I have shown my sincerity, and I also hope that you will show your own sincerity, otherwise, although you are quite strong, I am still confident that I can kill you."

Although Xiao Yan's tone was respectful, he was extremely wary and didn't even dare to close his divine runes.

The second level of divine runes in the Douling realm can only be maintained for a maximum of ten minutes, and only five minutes have passed so far.

"Hehe, since I'm willing to tell you all this, I naturally have my reasons. Don't worry, I won't fight you again. How about we sit down and have a proper talk?"

The old man withdrew his fighting spirit, showing no intention of continuing the fight. Xiao Yan could tell that he did have another purpose, which seemed to require him to do. He also deactivated his divine runes and returned to his two-star Dou Ling state.

However, if the other party turns against him, he will probably have to run away as soon as possible. He can only use the first level of divine runes and is only a four-spirit fighting spirit. If he summons a fire beast and gets stuck at the nine-star great fighting master level, his combat power will be much weaker.

Xiao Yan sat opposite the old man, who immediately pointed out the blood-red flames on Xiao Yan's body: "Young friend, the flames on your body are strange flames, aren't they?"

Xiao Yan nodded: "Just lucky."

After receiving confirmation, the old man nodded: "My name is Hai Bodong. You may not have heard of this name, but I also have another title: Ice Emperor."

Ice Emperor?

Xiao Yan was shocked. As a member of the Jia Ma Empire, although he had never been to the capital, he had heard of the Jia Ma Empire's top ten strongest warriors.

And this Ice Emperor seems to be one of the top ten strongest warriors of the previous generation of the Jia Ma Empire, a genuine Dou Huang!

I remember back then, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong fought a great battle against Yunshan, the former sect master of Yunlan Sect. The two peak Dou Huangs fought for several days. Although Hai Bodong was slightly defeated in the end, he still established his unshakable status as a strongman.

The top ten strongest figures in the Gama Empire have now changed, but even among the top three, it's not certain that any of them can defeat Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

This powerful figure, who had disappeared for decades, has now fallen to such a place, and his strength seems to have been greatly diminished, now only at the Dou Ling level.

"Senior Ice Emperor? But your current cultivation level seems to be only at the Dou Ling realm."

Faced with Xiao Yan's question, Hai Bodong sighed helplessly: "It all comes down to that incomplete map you have. I found this treasure somewhere in the desert back then, but I never expected to encounter the strongest member of the Snake-People tribe, the Snake-People Queen Medusa."

Although we were both at the peak of the Douhuang realm, I was far from being her match. In the end, although I managed to escape by chance, I was also affected by her sealing technique.

Now, not only is his cultivation level sealed at the Dou Ling realm, but his body has also aged by several decades.

I have been studying here incognito for decades, all in order to decipher the secrets of the incomplete map and break the seal she set.

However, even with my exceptional drawing skills, I could not possibly decipher its secrets from this small fragment.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan was shocked and also felt a pang of emotion. The former Dou Huang powerhouse could only hide in such a place now.

"So, what's the reason that Senior Ice Emperor approached me?"

"It's very simple. That is your identity as an alchemist. Besides these people deciphering the incomplete map, I have also been searching for a way to break the seal. Finally, I found a sixth-grade pill called the Breaking Calamity Pill. If you can refine the Breaking Calamity Pill and break the seal for me, I will hand over the remaining half of the incomplete map, as well as the friendship of a Dou Huang powerhouse. If you encounter any trouble in the future, I will do my best to support you."

Good heavens, a sixth-grade Breakthrough Pill right off the bat! This is something I can't refine right now.

"Senior Ice Emperor, are you overestimating me? I can't refine a sixth-grade pill. I think you should go to Pill King Gu He; perhaps you'll have a higher success rate there."

However, Hai Bodong shook his head: "He can't refine this pill. The first step in refining the Breaking Calamity Pill is to have a different kind of fire, which is why I value you."

Hai Bodong doesn't have many years left to live. If he doesn't regain his strength soon, he might really die of old age.

Since that's the case, he might as well try anything, betting his luck on Xiao Yan, or rather, valuing the power behind Xiao Yan.

"To be honest, Senior Ice Emperor, I cannot guarantee that I can refine this Calamity-Breaking Pill within a few years, but I know that the essence of sealing techniques is to weaken life force, and I happen to have a way to obtain a treasure that can greatly enhance life force."

It is believed that if you can take it, you can not only break through the seal with the help of your life force, but also extend your life by decades or even hundreds of years.

However, that thing is far more valuable than the Breakthrough Pill; a mere fragment of the map probably isn't enough.

Xiao Yan's first thought was the little green bottle, but this thing was too precious. A single drop was comparable to a seventh-grade or higher pill. If he were to exchange it for the friendship of a Dou Huang and a fragment of a map, it would be too much of a loss.

Moreover, Xiao Yan dared not directly say that he had the item, lest the other party have other ideas.

Xiao Yan surprised Hai Bodong once again. It seemed that this young man really did come from some incredible force.

Otherwise, how could they have obtained that legendary treasure that could prolong life?

If that fragment of the map hadn't been so important to him, he probably wouldn't have even mentioned it.

"Young friend, although I have many things, not all of them may be of interest to you. However, to show my sincerity, I can give you something in advance, namely, information about the strange fire."
