In the underground magma world—

It was tranquil here, with only the occasional soft pop of a bubble bursting on the surface of the magma.

Above the magma lake—

A black sun, taller than a man, hovered silently.

Around it, endless fire-attributed energy surged forth, converging from all directions like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea, madly rushing into the black sun.

Within the sun, a human figure stood, shrouded in flames, flickering indistinctly.

As it absorbed more and more energy, the aura radiating from the black sun grew increasingly powerful.

Time slowly ticked by.

Gradually, the black sun began to tremble lightly, as though it had reached a critical point—yet was unable to break through, seemingly lacking just a final push.

Inside the black sun, Wei Yang furrowed his brows slightly and muttered to himself, ”It’s still just a little short!”

With a flip of his hand, he retrieved a small jade bottle and crushed it directly.

Bang!

A palm-sized flame appeared in his hand—it was a deep crimson hue, with a faint trace of golden light flickering within.

This was the peak Rank 4 beast flame he had used previously.

”Go.” Wei Yang flung the flame from his hand.

Instantly, the surging black flame swept forward and wrapped around the beast flame, wriggling slightly as it began to absorb and digest it.

With the supplement of this beast flame, the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame seemed to finally make up for that final bit of deficiency.

Like the last straw that breaks the camel’s back—

Boom!

The black sun trembled violently, and its aura skyrocketed.

From the peak of Dou Wang, it finally broke through that thin final barrier and stepped into the realm of Dou Huang!

Immediately, its rate of absorption for fire-attributed energy became even faster and more ferocious, like a bottomless pit.

Its emitted power also began rising rapidly.

On the stone platform, Xian’er and Qing Lin, who had been silently observing, both lit up with joy.

Seeing the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame finally break through its bottleneck, they let out a breath of relief and smiled.

One day and one night later—

The raging and chaotic fire-attributed energy finally calmed.

The black sun hovered, trembling lightly with joy and excitement. It now exuded a stronger sense of spirituality.

Its power had grown exponentially—many times greater than before.

At that moment, a figure stepped out from within the black sun.

Swish!

Behind him, a pair of flaming wings unfurled and gently flapped, suspending him midair.

Wei Yang’s face carried a satisfied smile. With the successful advancement of the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, his own cultivation had also risen by two stars—reaching the Nine-Star Dou Wang level.

He was now just half a step away from the peak of Nine-Star Dou Wang.

And beyond that... the realm of Dou Huang was within reach.

He extended his hand.

Before him, the trembling black sun began to shrink, eventually condensing into a fist-sized flame that hovered in the palm of his left hand.

Suspended above the magma lake, with massive black flame wings flapping slowly behind him and a miniature black sun hovering in his palm—the sight was undeniably awe-inspiring.

It gave off the impression... that he was holding the sun and moon in his hand.

On the platform, the two girls watched with shining eyes.

Wei Yang’s smile was filled with contentment.

With the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame having advanced to Dou Huang and his own strength boosted by two stars, his overall combat power had increased several fold.

Now, even when facing an ordinary peak Dou Huang, he had enough confidence to clash head-on—without falling behind. In fact, who would win in the end... was still anyone’s guess.

After calming himself, he raised his head slightly and swallowed the black sun back into his body.

Then, looking down at the magma lake beneath him, the corners of Wei Yang’s mouth lifted into a smile. He said softly, ”Old friend, it’s been a while. Since you’re here, aren’t you going to come out and say hello?”

His gaze seemed to pierce through the magma, seeing the massive, sinuous figure hidden beneath it.

The magma bulged—

Boom!

Suddenly, it burst open and magma splashed everywhere.

Two massive snake heads, covered in crimson-red scales, slowly emerged from the magma.

It was the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent!

Its four giant scarlet-gold eyes stared at Wei Yang high above, filled with tension and fear.

Clearly, it had been drawn up by the intense fluctuations caused by Wei Yang’s breakthrough.

At this point, it had also stepped into the Rank 5.

Wei Yang looked down and met the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent’s gaze.

The two of them... could be considered old acquaintances.

Sensing its now slightly increased spirituality after breaking into the Rank 5—and noticing that some of the viciousness in its eyes had faded—

Wei Yang couldn’t help but sigh softly. ”You’ve got quite the life on you.”

After all, from the rainbow scale left behind by Queen Medusa, it was clear the serpent had once ambushed her at the bottom of the magma lake.

Yet while Queen Medusa had missed out on the Heavenly Flame and was ambushed, one could only imagine how terrible her mood must have been at the time.

But the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent not only managed to escape unscathed, it even clashed with Yao Lao and Xiao Yan not long ago.

And now, it was still alive and kicking—having stepped into the Rank 5...

This Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent was practically immortal in this magma world.

It had stirred up trouble time and again, yet despite constantly encountering terrifyingly strong enemies, it somehow always managed to survive.

Its sheer luck was nothing short of absurd.

A flicker of distinctly human-like frustration flashed across all four of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent’s eyes.

It had originally lived a peaceful and carefree life here.

But ever since Wei Yang had arrived years ago, the once-quiet magma world had never known peace again.

Its territory had been invaded again and again—truly intolerable!

Now that it had successfully advanced to the Rank 5 and reunited with an old ”acquaintance,” it thought it might finally be able to recover some dignity.

But to its great frustration...

It sensed that this hateful human had grown even more dangerous than before.

Noticing the serpent’s eager, battle-hungry aura, Wei Yang chuckled. ”What’s this? You look like you want to fight.”

”Perfect. So do I!”

As he spoke, he extended his palm, and three small fire dragons coiled and danced within it.

Then, he pressed his palm downward—

Roooar~

The three little dragons shot out, instantly transforming into towering behemoths over twenty meters long, roaring as they dove down at the serpent.

Their unleashed power was utterly terrifying!

The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent’s pupils shrank in shock.

The violent energy fluctuations slowly faded.

The boiling magma gradually returned to calm.

Wei Yang hovered above the lake, black wings flapping gently as he returned to the stone platform, holding the limp body of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent as if it were a dead snake.

Casually, he tossed it down.

Boom!

Half its massive body, along with its two enormous heads, slammed down on the platform, kicking up clouds of dust.

The other half of its body crashed into the magma lake, splashing waves into the air.

This all-too-familiar scene made the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent close all four of its eyes in defeat.

It had experienced this exact thing once before, years ago.

”Brother Yang!”

”Young Master!”

The two girls rushed forward with bright smiles.

Wei Yang nodded with a warm smile.

”Congratulations, Brother Yang. The Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame has successfully advanced to the Dou Huang level,” Xian’er said with a grin.

”Congratulations, Young Master,” Qing Lin echoed sweetly.

”Hahahaha~”

Wei Yang couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer.

At this moment, he was in an excellent mood.

Even more thrilled than he would’ve been if he himself had broken through to Dou Huang.

Because he knew—his own breakthrough to Dou Huang would be easy. Practically no bottlenecks remained.

But for the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, it was a far more difficult process.

Heavenly Flames didn’t simply grow stronger just by pouring in more energy.

Their advancement required fate, opportunities—or long, grueling cultivation over time.

Raising a Heavenly Flame was more difficult than nurturing a genius.

Take the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, for instance. As a Half-Step Dou Di powerhouse, even he had a Heavenly Flame—the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame—that hadn’t reached the peak of Dou Sheng.

Even the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame wasn’t at the peak of Dou Sheng.

Among so many Heavenly Flames, only Nihility Devouring Flame had reached the Dou Sheng peak.

Why?

Was it because the Pure Lotus Demon Saint or the Gu Clan lacked the resources?

Of course not.

The growth of a Heavenly Flame depended not only on its potential, but also fate, time, and countless other factors.

Even now, Wei Yang couldn’t be sure whether the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame was a native flame born on the Dou Qi Continent or one from the Great Thousand World.

Nor did he know its true potential limit.

Which meant—every advancement the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame made was worth celebrating.

Now that it had stepped into the Dou Huang level, with its domineering and destructive traits, its power already exceeded the Green Lotus Core Flame at its peak.
