As Zhou Yan opened the formation, he felt a terrifying flame surge towards him. This was the Fire of Scorching Sun, which burned like fire in the sky during the day and formed profound ice to cover one's body at night.
This was an unbearable torment for Xiong Yao Cen.
For Xiong Yao Cen to endure it for half a year not only consumed immense treasures but also required her own formidable willpower.
Such a person, once the pain was resolved, would undoubtedly soar like a flood dragon transforming into a dragon, rising to the heavens.
The Fire of Scorching Sun continuously eroded Zhou Yan, but these flames were quickly gathered by him. The flames in the entire room were condensed into a single mass and refined.
Zhou Yan also saw Xiong Yao Cen. At this moment, she was only wearing a tight-fitting undergarment, as ordinary clothes were utterly incapable of resisting such flames.
Xiong Yao Cen was still forcibly suppressing the Fire of Scorching Sun, her entire being like a human torch undergoing immense torture.
"Who... are... you?" Xiong Yao Cen asked with difficulty upon seeing Zhou Yan.
"The one who will save you. There's no need to suppress it anymore. The more you suppress this flame, the more it will erupt within you. Release it, and I will help you refine it."
Zhou Yan stepped forward. The Fire of Scorching Sun posed no threat to him whatsoever. He directly moved to the special ice bed and sat cross-legged.
"Don't worry, this flame poses no threat to me. You don't need to mind me. Since I could enter, you should trust me."
"You don't want to suffer this torment forever, do you? Today, I will resolve all this ice and fire power within you."
Zhou Yan stated his purpose to Xiong Yao Cen, aiming to gain her trust.
Xiong Yao Cen looked at Zhou Yan. Indeed, he was not threatened in the slightest. He was the only one who had been able to approach her without being affected in such a long time.
Zhou Yan released his Primordial Yin Yang power, and a profound radiance emanated from his body. He pointed a finger at Xiong Yao Cen's forehead.
"I will refine the Ice Fire Scorching Sun Profound Ice Fruit within you. Do not worry, just let it release. I will guide it out, and it will cause you no harm."
Zhou Yan's voice reached Xiong Yao Cen's ears again. She nodded, indicating she understood.
Xiong Yao Cen soon felt an extremely powerful energy circulating within her body, eventually entering her physique and reaching the core of the Ice Fire Scorching Sun Profound Ice Fruit.
This energy directly refined it. The terrifying ice and fire power erupted like the beginning of heaven and earth, unleashing dreadful power that sought to destroy everything.
Xiong Yao Cen was greatly astonished. This energy was too terrifying, and it erupted directly within her. She thought she was about to be destroyed by it.
However, this energy was enveloped by a peculiar energy, precisely the energy released by Zhou Yan. This energy was so powerful that it contained the ice and fire power.
Then, this energy guided the ice and fire power along her meridians, circulating outwards and extracting it bit by bit.
Xiong Yao Cen was greatly shocked. She had not expected that the other party truly possessed the ability to suppress this terrifying ice and fire power and begin to resolve it.
Xiong Yao Cen was finally at ease and began to relax.
Under Zhou Yan's divine power's suppression, Xiong Yao Cen felt unprecedented comfort. She had not felt such a relaxed state in a very long time.
She had been tormented for a full half year, during which she fought this ice and fire power ceaselessly, never daring to slacken.
If not for her father exhausting all his resources and spending a great deal of spiritual treasures to help her, she would have long since vanished into nothingness due to this ice and fire power.
The power of this fruit was simply too immense for her to refine.
Xiong Yao Cen was utterly exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Yan did not dare to extract it too quickly, as Xiong Yao Cen's meridians were too weak. If the energy were stripped too rapidly, she would not be able to withstand it.
Time slowly slipped away. Several hours passed, while the city lord outside waited with anxious unease.
Ye Xun said, "Don't worry, the situation is very stable. Zhou Yan is helping to strip away that power, but your daughter's strength is too weak, so he dares not proceed too quickly, or it will ruin all of your daughter's meridians."
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as my daughter can be saved, no amount of waiting is too long." Hearing this, the city lord was on the verge of tears of joy.
They could no longer sense the fiery power emanating from the room, which proved that Zhou Yan had indeed suppressed the flame power within Xiong Yao Cen's body.
This left Wang Li Yan and the others greatly astonished. They hadn't expected that the other party truly had the ability to cure Xiong Yao Cen. It seemed they had underestimated him.
"Who exactly are they? They can suppress such a terrifying flame power, yet we can't even get close."
"Their strength is immense, but I don't know who they are. They must be from some ancient family. Only such families can produce disciples like this."
"The Ice Fire Scorching Sun Profound Ice Fruit is a legendary spiritual essence. Those who can refine such an essence are at least at the Demigod realm. Such a young Demigod is indeed rare."
Wang Li Yan looked at Ye Xun, Diao Chan, and the others, feeling that they were no ordinary individuals. He couldn't sense any fluctuation of power from them, and they were definitely formidable experts.
After Zhou Yan extracted the energy of the Ice Fire Scorching Sun Profound Ice Fruit, he directly absorbed it into his own body. Although the energy of this spiritual fruit was potent, for Zhou Yan, it was no more difficult than drinking a cup of water.
Zhou Yan had already absorbed and consumed all the Fire of Scorching Sun within Xiong Yao Cen's body. Next, he began to absorb the Profound Ice power. The Profound Ice power was chilling and could turn anything into an ice sculpture.
Zhou Yan spent several more hours absorbing and resolving the Profound Ice energy within Xiong Yao Cen.
When Zhou Yan had absorbed all the energy of the Ice Fire Scorching Sun Profound Ice Fruit from Xiong Yao Cen's body, she felt a great sense of relief, as if she had been reborn, her entire being becoming much lighter.
Xiong Yao Cen also felt the lightness within her body, and with the aid of this ice and fire energy, her meridians had been widened considerably. Her strength had indeed increased, and so had her talent.
However, Xiong Yao Cen absolutely did not want to experience such agony as before. That kind of pain was certainly not something an ordinary person could endure.
Xiong Yao Cen circulated her cultivation technique, and her body felt better than ever.
Upon opening her eyes, Xiong Yao Cen also discovered that Zhou Yan had absorbed and digested the last trace of Profound Ice power within her.
Xiong Yao Cen immediately got up, wanting to express her gratitude. But she soon realized that her precious garment had been destroyed by the ice and fire power. At this moment, she stood before Zhou Yan completely unclothed.
Xiong Yao Cen was shocked, her eyes wide open.
Zhou Yan took out a piece of clothing and quickly covered Xiong Yao Cen, saying, "You are alright now. I'll be leaving first."
After speaking, Zhou Yan's face remained unchanged. After all, he was an experienced 'driver' and had seen such scenes many times.
