Chapter 72

**Rumble——**

At the same time, within the Demon Domain Cemetery, a blood-covered figure sat, surrounded by a dense and extremely eerie blood aura that emitted a faint red glow around his body, almost blending with the blood-red sky. The blood aura was abundant in the air, with blood-red gas slowly flowing, forming blood vortexes in the sky, each containing extremely powerful energy.

This blood-covered figure, resembling a demon from hell, was none other than Xiao Yan, who was currently restoring his Dou Qi.

Elder Zhan stood beside Xiao Yan, gazing into the distance with a slightly furrowed brow, as if sensing something ahead.

Elder Zhan glanced sideways at Xiao Yan, who was still in the process of recovery, and sighed softly. This young man had expended too much in the previous battle. For Xiao Yan to use an Intent Rank Dou Technique was still too much of a strain. The current Flame Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique was still a relatively low-level cultivation method on the Dou Di continent. If Xiao Yan could elevate the Flame Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique to the Cold Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique, the consumption of using the Intent Rank Dou Technique would be much less. However, to achieve this, Xiao Yan would need to fully integrate all the异火 (異火) within his body into the Chaotic Holy Flame, and after devouring it, he would need to devour a Ghost Spirit and a Spirit Seal. Only then would it be possible to elevate the Flame Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique to the Cold Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique. The saying goes, "At the extreme of burning, cold is born." If the power of the Chaotic Holy Flame is insufficient, it would be impossible to elevate the Flame Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique to the Cold Swallowing Cataclysmic Technique. However, the Ghost Spirit and Spirit Seal... those can only be obtained by a Two-Star Dou Di... It all depends on this young man's destiny.

Elder Zhan gazed into the distance, lost in thought, when Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes. A faint hint of light yellow flashed in his pupils, then quickly faded into the depths of his eyes. The Dou Qi that had been depleted was now fully restored to its peak state.

Xiao Yan stood up and followed Elder Zhan's gaze to the distance, his heart slightly startled. He sensed a powerful energy hidden in the distance, approaching him.

Elder Zhan's expression suddenly became serious. "Something is coming. I can't help you. You'll have to deal with it yourself. Be careful. I'm going back to the tower."

Xiao Yan shot a glance at Elder Zhan, but Elder Zhan's figure flickered and disappeared into the space.

As soon as Elder Zhan vanished, a golden light flashed beside Xiao Yan, and it was Long Yi, who had already recovered in the Zi Chen Spirit Tower.

Long Yi also looked extremely serious, gazing at the blood-red space in the distance, sensing the presence of that hidden power, which was drawing closer to them.

Xiao Yan smiled at Long Yi, feeling the concern in his eyes, a bond like that of father and son.

**Rumble——**

Suddenly, a massive crack appeared on the ground, and a huge two-headed snake emerged, its upper body protruding from the space. It looked at Xiao Yan in the distance, opened its snake mouth, and let out a deafening roar, "Roar——" that echoed throughout the space.
