Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel strange. He sensed a very warm current flowing within his body.
"Huh, could this current be the power of fire elements?" Zhou Yan said with some surprise. He wasn't sure what kind of power resided within him. He only vaguely felt that his body seemed to contain some formidable fire attribute strength.
"It seems this chain of mine can not only attack enemies but also provide them with a continuous supply of energy. If I could get a few more such chains, wouldn't my strength become even greater?" Zhou Yan's face revealed a look of anticipation as he thought this.
...
"Zhou Yan, that scoundrel, is truly insidious, using us to test the opponent's strength. However, I should thank him. Without his probing, how would I have obtained such a treasure? Haha, but I must also thank Zhou Yan for giving me the honor of obtaining such a chain. Without this chain, how could I possess such power and grow to where I am now?" The demonic beast watched Zhou Yan cultivate, a faint smile appearing at the corner of its mouth, and then it vanished.
Meanwhile, within the mushroom cloud formed by the Scarlet Flame Beast, its body slowly returned to its original form. Then, streams of golden flames erupted from the Scarlet Flame Beast's mouth, enveloping its entire body. These flames continuously burned the Scarlet Flame Beast's body, and soon, the Scarlet Flame Beast was roasted to a sizzling sound by these flames, quickly turning into a pile of ashes.
Not long after, the Scarlet Flame Beast's corpse was completely incinerated into powder.
After the Scarlet Flame Beast died, a crimson bead flew into Zhou Yan's palm.
The crimson bead radiated intense heat, and its surface bore numerous cracks, as if scorched. The aura of the Scarlet Flame Beast still lingered on it.
"This Scarlet Flame Beast is no simple creature! It could even self-heal its wounds! If it were any other martial artist, they would probably have perished by now," Zhou Yan mused inwardly, looking at the Scarlet Flame Beast's corpse.
"However, since you are dead, everything on you now belongs to me." Zhou Yan chuckled and directly took the Scarlet Flame Beast's storage ring, placing it into his own storage ring.
After completing all this, Zhou Yan ignored the condition of the storage ring and sat down cross-legged to continue cultivating, preparing to break through.
A layer of black light gradually appeared on Zhou Yan's body. Then, he closed his eyes, and spiritual energy from all around surged towards him madly, pouring into his dantian. It then entered the black lotus within his dantian and was absorbed.
"Hmm? It can actually absorb spiritual energy? This is truly miraculous! How can there be such a peculiar cultivation technique in this world?" Zhou Yan wondered inwardly, confused.
At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes. A strange purplish-red light flickered within them, as if two balls of ghost fire were burning.
"This is my eye technique!" Zhou Yan looked at his right eye, a flash of astonishment in his gaze.
"I didn't expect to possess such a peculiar eye technique. It seems my luck is not bad!" Zhou Yan laughed. "I must obtain more of these strange secret arts."
"This is the vital blood of the Scarlet Flame Beast!" Zhou Yan exclaimed excitedly, looking at a drop of blood in his palm.
Immediately, he put the drop of blood into his mouth.
Streams of black radiance flowed out from the drop of blood, then gradually flowed into Zhou Yan's dantian.
"So comfortable, so comfortable. My dantian is now completely occupied by this drop of blood, and while absorbing it, I actually feel my strength increasing! The energy within this drop of blood is simply immense!" Zhou Yan said excitedly, continuously absorbing the drop of blood. Simultaneously, his dantian was slowly being filled with the energy from this blood. This drop of blood continuously absorbed the power of his dantian, making this power grow stronger and stronger.
Not long after, the drop of blood was completely consumed by Zhou Yan's dantian. With the help of this blood, Zhou Yan's dantian finally became perfectly rounded, like an infant's belly, brimming with vitality.
After sensing his dantian, Zhou Yan discovered that the internal space had expanded significantly, by about three times. His body had also become more condensed, sturdier than before, and he now contained even greater power within him.
"The combat experience and realm breakthrough this time are truly too important. Without this actual combat, I would not have gained this understanding," Zhou Yan mused inwardly.
"I'm not sure how to proceed next!" Zhou Yan frowned. His current strength was still far from his peak when he first arrived in this forest. Now, his strength was only at the peak of the Divine King realm.
"No matter what, I'll focus on improving my cultivation first!" Zhou Yan thought.
He then sat down cross-legged, began to meditate quietly, and regulated his power.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by. Great Wind Novel Network.
During this period, Zhou Yan had been cultivating his cultivation tirelessly.
However, while cultivating, Zhou Yan did not feel tired; instead, he felt himself becoming increasingly powerful.
Finally, these three days came to an end.
"Hoo... I've finally broken through to the peak of Divine King level nine! But I'm still a little short of the true peak! I haven't absorbed the Scarlet Flame Beast's core yet, and I wonder if it can increase my realm." Zhou Yan opened his eyes and exhaled, thinking to himself, "If I can absorb the Scarlet Flame Beast's core, I should be able to break through."
After speaking, Zhou Yan looked at the Scarlet Flame Beast's vital blood in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I must absorb this drop of vital blood as quickly as possible!" Great Wind Novel.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and began to absorb the Scarlet Flame Beast's vital blood.
As Zhou Yan began to absorb the vital blood, the power contained within this drop of Scarlet Flame Beast vital blood was truly terrifying. Not only could it heal injuries, but it also had the effect of nourishing the dantian, allowing his realm to remain stable at the early stage of Divine King level nine. This speed was simply terrifying.
Moreover, the energy contained in this drop of vital blood was so vast. It was indeed the vital blood of a powerful expert at the Divine Emperor realm!
"It will take me a considerable amount of time to absorb this drop of vital blood, but with the assistance of elixirs, I should be able to absorb it quickly!" Zhou Yan thought.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and began to absorb the Scarlet Flame Beast's vital blood.
Zhou Yan started absorbing the vital blood while meditating and cultivating.
