**
A bright moon hung high in the sky.
As the black domain vanished, the vast area within several miles was left scorched by the intense heat. The sand and rock formations were still glowing red, steaming from the residual heat.
At this moment, Xian'er withdrew her Dou Qi barrier and opened her eyes, but they were still red and sore. An uncontrollable stream of tears blurred her vision, causing her to see double.
She couldn't help but complain inwardly about that damn Heavenly Flame and its bizarre, eye-blinding ability.
This fire was anything but normal.
Every time it erupted, it unleashed indiscriminate area-wide attacks, causing collateral damage and making people's eyes burn and water uncontrollably.
In the future, those Dou Zong and Dou Zun enemies would probably hate Brother Yang to death.
Imagine—great powerhouses, shedding tears in public before a crowd.
How humiliating!
How utterly disgraceful!
Just thinking about it made her shudder.
Through her blurry vision, she gazed toward the distant mountain peak.
There, a figure was shrouded in a visible funnel of energy.
Xian'er wiped away her tears and, despite the discomfort, couldn't suppress a bright smile.
"Brother Yang succeeded!"
Having cultivated Great Sun Burning Heaven Art herself, she understood the significance of this phenomenon—it meant the technique had evolved!
Heaven Grade!
The vast surge of heaven and earth energy pouring into Wei Yang's body didn't even seem to burden him. He absorbed and refined it all effortlessly, without any signs of strain.
This meant that not only had Wei Yang successfully devoured that unruly and troublesome Heavenly Flame, but he had also advanced Great Sun Burning Heaven Art!
"Young Master succeeded?"
Behind Xian'er, Qing Lin poked her head out, her face full of joy as she looked toward the distant mountain peak.
At the same time, both women let out a breath of relief.
Just moments ago, Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame's eruption had been utterly terrifying.
Even now, they still felt lingering fear.
Even at the very edge of the domain, Xian'er had struggled to endure it.
After all, in that instant, its power had rivaled a Dou Huang, and with its ability to burn and absorb Dou Qi, even a peak Dou Wang like Xian'er had suffered.
Her Dou Qi had also been partially drained by Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame.
On the Mountain Peak
As Wei Yang completely stabilized his newly broken-through realm, and as the evolved Black Sun Burning Heaven Art finished absorbing all the necessary energy, the surrounding commotion gradually settled.
The energy funnel dissipated.
Wei Yang sat cross-legged on a stone platform, motionless like a carved statue.
His consciousness was still immersed within his body, carefully sensing and analyzing all the transformations.
His robes had long since been reduced to ashes, yet his body was still covered in a thin, crimson keratin layer, formed from the residual medicinal power of the Blood Lotus Essence Pill.
However, this layer was now weak and dim, lacking any vitality.
Mixed within it were bits of filthy, foul-smelling impurities.
These were the impurities from Wei Yang's body.
Although he had rarely consumed pills over the years, some impurities had still accumulated in his system.
This was unavoidable.
Even long-term cultivation in the underground magma world had caused him to absorb traces of Fire Poison.
But now, after successfully devouring the Heavenly Flame, his body had undergone a full cleansing through the flame's power.
It had incinerated all the impurities within him, expelling them completely—a hidden benefit of refining a Heavenly Flame.
A form of marrow cleansing and body refinement, akin to rebirth, enhancing his natural talent.
Suddenly—
Crack, crack, crack—
Faint cracking sounds echoed as the crimson keratin layer on Wei Yang's skin began to fracture.
Countless fine cracks spread across the surface.
Then—
Boom!
A powerful burst of energy erupted, rippling outward in a circular shockwave.
The layer of blood-colored keratin instantly shattered into nothingness, revealing the figure within.
Whoosh—
Wei Yang opened his eyes.
Within his pupils, two black flames flickered momentarily before vanishing.
He let out a long breath.
Swoosh!
A visible stream of white air shot out, extending several meters before slowly dissipating.
At this moment, a thin black light barrier still clung to his body, emitting a soft, warm glow that enveloped him.
As the glow gradually faded and disappeared, Wei Yang's figure was finally revealed.
His long black hair draped casually over his back.
His already striking features now seemed to radiate a faint, ethereal glow.
His pitch-black eyes were deep, radiant, and full of life—so pure that they resembled two bottomless black holes, drawing in the very souls of those who looked into them.
His entire aura had undergone a drastic transformation.
To call it a rebirth would not be an exaggeration.
His presence now felt mysterious, scorching, and ethereal.
Anyone who laid eyes on him would be compelled to silently admire, What a strikingly handsome young man.
Wei Yang slowly stood up, stretching his body, his face lighting up with an excited smile.
Just then, a cold night breeze swept past—
His long hair fluttered…
And below—nothing.
Cold.
Very, very cold.
"…" Wei Yang.
The smile that had just bloomed on his face suddenly stiffened.
Without hesitation, a layer of black Dou Qi swiftly enveloped his body.
With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved a set of black robes and, at lightning speed, dressed himself.
…
With the Dou Qi barrier gone, he once again resumed his composed smile, his expression calm.
Standing tall with his hands clasped behind his back, he lifted his gaze toward the luminous moon above, his robes swaying gently in the breeze.
His heart surged with excitement.
The rewards from this successful Heavenly Flame refinement were immeasurable.
First, he had completely refined Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, truly claiming an Heavenly Flame as his own.
Second, his cultivation technique had evolved into a Heaven Grade technique. His previously red-golden Dou Qi had now fully transformed into pure black, its quality rising to an entirely new level, capable of unleashing even greater power.
As for breaking through a single star in cultivation?
That was merely a minor benefit.
With a pleased expression, Wei Yang extended his right hand. With a single thought, a surge of black flames burst forth, roaring to life in his palm.
Instantly, the temperature—previously cooling down again—rose once more, filling the surroundings with warmth.
The black flames danced and flickered in his palm, almost as if they were celebrating.
Wei Yang smiled, feeling a surge of bold ambition well up inside him.
Fourteen years.
He had spent fourteen years in this world.
And now, for the first time, he truly possessed the foundation he needed.
A Heaven Grade cultivation technique, powerful Dou Techniques, and Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame—these would be his greatest assets for the future!
Though Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame was not yet overwhelmingly strong, it didn't matter.
After all, Heavenly Flames held an unrivaled advantage over any other fire.
They could continue to grow.
There was no limit to their power!
…
Wei Yang glanced around before fixing his gaze on the stone platform where he had been seated earlier.
Without channeling any Dou Qi, he casually flicked his wrist.
The black flames leaped forward, engulfing the stone platform—
In an instant, the high-temperature flames melted the stone like wax, turning it into a pool of molten red liquid.
Within mere seconds, the half-man-tall platform, which was far more durable and heat-resistant than ordinary rock, had completely vanished.
All that remained was a circular pit and a small puddle of lava.
Wei Yang beckoned with his hand, and the black flames reversed course, surging back into his palm.
"Not bad. So this is the power of a Heavenly Flame?"
He nodded in satisfaction.
After all, this wasn't even the true power of Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame—it was merely a casual wisp of fire.
This… was the strength of Heavenly Flames!
And temperature?
That was just one of its most basic abilities.
Wei Yang stared at the black fire in his palm, feeling genuinely delighted.
After all—
He was also an alchemist.
As an alchemist, he had long struggled with the limitations of his own firepower.
But now?
That would never be an issue again.
With an Heavenly Flame at his command, achieving the rank of Tier 6 Alchemist would soon be a matter of time.
