Chapter 15

Xiao Yan nodded and respectfully saluted Mingdi, then followed Xiao Long into the crack.

As soon as they entered the crack, a strong spatial pressure pressed down on Xiao Yan, causing his expression to change. This pressure was even greater than the one he had encountered when he first arrived on this continent, already exceeding his limits. Xiao Long, seeing that Xiao Yan could enter the spatial crack, was quite satisfied and waved his hand, enveloping Xiao Yan in a thin protective membrane. Xiao Yan immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Familiar surroundings reappeared before Xiao Yan's eyes, with the sky filled with stars, looking incredibly beautiful. There were no peculiar objects around, but these stars were particularly bright and beautiful.

Xiao Yan looked around, and suddenly, Xiao Long asked, "What kind of flame did you use just now?" Xiao Long was also very curious about the flame Xiao Yan used during the battle, so he couldn't help but ask.

"That is a flame said to be naturally conceived between heaven and earth on the Dou Qi continent, known as异火 (Yi Huo, Strange Fire). I was lucky enough to obtain it," Xiao Yan replied directly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long's expression changed, and he frowned, grabbing Xiao Yan's arm. Dou Qi completely ignored Xiao Yan's resistance and directly surged into Xiao Yan's body.

"Indeed!"

"Ancestor, is something wrong?" Xiao Long's actions startled Xiao Yan, who then let out a cold breath and asked.

"Strange Fire? Boy, the fire within you is not actually what you call Strange Fire. How could such a world give birth to a flame with such power?" Xiao Long sighed.

Xiao Yan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Isn't this Strange Fire formed from the energy of heaven and earth?"

Xiao Long then laughed, "Hehe, the Strange Fire within you is actually a Celestial Fire from this continent, just with reduced power."

Xiao Yan's body, which was flying, suddenly trembled. Reduced power? This Strange Fire had already been refined into a celestial object on the Dou Qi continent, yet it had been reduced in power. This meant that the true strength of the Strange Fire was even greater.

"What is the origin of this Strange Fire? If its power has been reduced as you say, why is it still so terrifying?" Xiao Yan was filled with doubt and shock.

"Speaking of this Celestial Fire, it's truly a family disgrace." Xiao Long pulled up his sleeve, revealing a large burn mark on his arm. Xiao Yan looked in surprise; the recovery ability of a Three-star Dou Di was extremely powerful, so how could a burn scar appear on Xiao Long's body?

Xiao Long let Xiao Yan see the scar and then put his sleeve back down, saying, "Look at this scar; it was burned by the Strange Fire in your hand. The several Strange Fires in your hand are actually just one. On the Dou Di continent, it is known as Celestial Fire. The Celestial Fire in your hand is actually the number one in the Xiao family and ranks among the top twenty on the entire continent, the Chaos Holy Flame!"

"Chaos Holy Flame!" Xiao Yan exclaimed. This was the first time he had heard of the Chaos Holy Flame. His Strange Fire originally came from the same Celestial Fire, so why didn't they merge when gathered together? This puzzled Xiao Yan. He shook his hand, and a brilliant flame appeared in his palm. He looked at it and then asked Xiao Long, "Why did this Celestial Fire split into so many?"

Xiao Long sighed, "Sigh, speaking of the Strange Fire you have, it might be a matter of fate. As for why it split into so many, we need to talk about the family disgrace... We've arrived! Let's go see the Second Elder first, and I'll explain later." As Xiao Long spoke, a bright light appeared in the distance.
