Although it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary, shapeless flame, it exuded an extremely eerie aura.

The strange thing was that this flame seemed full of life, as though it possessed human-like intelligence and agility.

This was the Fallen Heart Flame, whose form had been scattered by Wei Yang’s strike, revealing its true source.

This fleeting moment was also the Fallen Heart Flame’s most vulnerable state.

Master and disciple’s eyes immediately lit up.

Such an opportunity—to easily capture the source of the terrifyingly powerful Fallen Heart Flame—if they didn’t act now, then when?

”Do it!” Yao Lao shouted lightly.

Whoosh—

A pale-white flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, transforming into a massive, bone-white flame palm that lunged straight toward the shapeless flame.

Xiao Yan moved simultaneously. Green flames surged wildly from his palm, finally condensing into a giant flaming hand that reached in from another direction.

However, just as the green flame hand was about to seize the flame, Xiao Yan’s face suddenly flushed red, and his entire body stiffened in an instant.

Inside his body, at the position of his heart, a blazing heart flame suddenly emerged in a strange and abrupt manner.

”Damn it, it’s that heart flame again!” Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes turning faintly red.

This heart flame was truly bizarre and revolting.

Impossible to guard against.

As he struggled, he could only watch helplessly as the shapeless flame trembled lightly and quickly darted into the magma below.

Whoosh!

The massive bone-white flame hand Yao Lao controlled also trembled slightly due to Xiao Yan’s condition, narrowly missing the shapeless flame.

”Damn it, it’s trying to escape—chase it!” Yao Lao roared angrily.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan didn’t hesitate. Green flames surged around his body, quickly forming a suit of flame armor that covered him completely.

Without delay, he plunged headfirst into the magma and vanished.

”This beast... truly decisive! It actually abandoned the sea of fire it had just spread without hesitation. That’s power it spent countless years accumulating bit by bit!”

In the air, Yao Lao’s frustrated voice echoed.

The Fallen Heart Flame’s decisiveness had caught even him off guard.

Buzz—

Space rippled, and Du Jiao stepped out.

It looked down at the magma, which was still slightly churning, and without hesitation, this straightforward creature dove in as well.

Its orders had changed. It was no longer to kill the Fallen Heart Flame.

When Wei Yang had gone to pursue the Sea Heart Flame, he had issued another command to assist Xiao Yan in capturing the Fallen Heart Flame.

So, upon discovering the flame’s trail, Du Jiao had unhesitatingly followed.

The magma world seemed to abruptly return to its previous tranquility.

Of course, that was if one ignored the turbulent sea of formless flame.

A while later—

Splash!

A plume of magma shot up.

Wrapped in a layer of black flame, Wei Yang burst forth from the lava.

In his hand, he held a deep blue flame about the size of a millstone.

Whoosh!

Black flame wings unfurled behind him, and his body hovered midair.

Feeling the terrifying heatwave coming toward him, the scorching intensity was even greater than what he had experienced beneath the lava.

He looked ahead.

Before him stretched a vast sea of formless flame, burning wildly across several thousand meters, with flames reaching over ten meters high.

Seeing this, Wei Yang’s eyes immediately lit up.

This was the accumulated energy essence that the Fallen Heart Flame had condensed over countless years!

Buzz buzz buzz—

Within his dantian, the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame trembled violently, radiating waves of greedy hunger.

”Haha.” Wei Yang laughed heartily and opened his mouth.

At once, a fist-sized black sun flew out, hovering in midair before him.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The black sun vibrated frantically, quickly expanding to the size of a basketball. It continuously released impatient, greedy, longing fluctuations, as if it could barely restrain itself from rushing out.

”Greedy thing,” Wei Yang cursed with a laugh, waving his hand. ”Go.”

Buzz—

The black sun quivered and then—

Whoosh—

It shot through the air like a blink of light, instantly appearing above the raging sea of flames.

Immediately after—

Boom!

Endless black light erupted from the black sun.

In the blink of an eye, a black domain descended, enveloping the sea of flame below.

The entire sea of fire was shrouded by this dark domain.

At the center of the domain, the black sun hovered, radiating a dazzling glow.

From afar, it looked as if a black sun was slowly rising within the magma world—majestic and radiant.

Endless black rays rained down like countless fine needles, piercing into the shapeless sea of flame.

And then—

Ssshhh—

Almost visible to the naked eye, countless strands of invisible flame were drawn in by the black light, flowing toward the black sun at the center.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The black sun trembled non-stop, radiating waves of intense excitement.

This shapeless sea of fire was undoubtedly a great supplement for the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame.

It was like a starving beggar who suddenly encountered a feast—a banquet of all delicacies. It devoured madly.

A huge windfall.

Time passed.

As the devouring and digestion continued, the aura of the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame was visibly rising.

Early Mid-level Dou Huang.

Mid Mid-level Dou Huang.

Late Mid-level Dou Huang...

Meanwhile, the range of the shapeless sea of flame was slowly shrinking.

This sea of fire, once the condensed energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, was now nourishing the rapid growth of the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame.

At the edge of the domain—

Wei Yang stood with one hand behind his back, the other holding a ball of deep blue flame, watching with a smile.

Scorching waves of heat blew against him, and his ragged black robe fluttered in the hot wind.

From time to time, small scraps of the robe would tear off, drifting through the air before disintegrating into ashes.

Moments later—

Wei Yang lowered his gaze.

In his palm, the deep blue flame rose and flowed like liquid.

Swish swish swish—

Soft water-like sounds echoed gently, like waves sweeping across the shore.

”Fifteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking: Sea Heart Flame, a water-type Heavenly Flame.” Wei Yang murmured with a faint smile in his eyes.

This Heavenly Flame had been forcibly extracted from Han Feng’s soul.

Now, the flame obediently burned in his palm—it had been subjugated and branded with his soul imprint.

However, the process of removing Han Feng’s original imprint had taken quite a bit of effort and time.

Even now, the control was only temporary. Fully subduing it would require more time.

After all, this flame had been refined and fused by Han Feng for many years.

And Han Feng wasn’t dead yet.

Wei Yang flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, carefully placing the Sea Heart Flame inside. Then, with a rapid change of hand seals, an immense soul force surged from his forehead.

He carefully engraved several layers of powerful seals on the jade bottle. Only after confirming everything was secure did he store it away.

Then he reached into his robes and pulled out a dark-blue, ancient-looking ring, examining it in front of his eyes.

It was Han Feng’s storage ring: Serene Sea Storage Ring.

”Heh heh...” Wei Yang licked his dry lips excitedly. ”What a massive harvest!”

With a thought, soul force surged through his arm into his palm, and then poured into the Serene Sea Storage Ring.

A vast flood of soul force crashed into the mental barrier left behind by Han Feng.

Han Feng’s soul power was decent, but he hadn’t even reached the peak of Mortal Realm, let alone beyond. The Serene Sea Storage Ring, now ownerless, was like a rootless pond—how could it possibly withstand Wei Yang’s soul assault?

Soon—

Pop!

With a light sound, the barrier shattered.

Immediately, Wei Yang’s soul force flooded inward.

After scanning the contents inside, he nodded in satisfaction and withdrew his consciousness.

Now wasn’t the time to count his gains. That could wait until he returned.

He casually slipped the Serene Sea Storage Ring onto the middle finger of his left hand.

With that done, Wei Yang looked back toward the black domain ahead.

There, the black sun hovered, its aura climbing higher and higher.

”After absorbing all this energy... just how far can you grow?”

Wei Yang’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. He whispered softly, ”Will it reach the peak of Dou Huang? Or even... step into Dou Zong?”

He couldn’t help but look forward to it.
