BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 92: The Harvest!



A thunderous boom rang out. The tiny wisp of Nihility Devouring Flame that Xiao Yan had flicked out seemed to provoke the Bone Chilling Flame. In an instant, a dazzling bone-white radiance exploded outward, instantly illuminating the entire underground cave. An unimaginably terrifying bone-white flame erupted, filling the entire underground passage in a split second.

Xiao Yan watched the beautiful bone-white radiance and suddenly recalled a piece of knowledge he had heard in his previous life on Earth.

Hydrogen bombs were triggered by the high temperatures generated from a small amount of nuclear fission, which then caused a chain reaction of nuclear fusion.

He wondered if using a tiny bit of the Nihility Devouring Flame to trigger the Bone Chilling Flame's eruption counted as something similar.

This was the complete, true Bone Chilling Flame, ranked 11th on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

Even the previous owner of the storage ring needed to reach the peak of the Dou King realm, prepare all kinds of medicinal pills and precious materials, and finally take a gamble with a one-in-ten chance of survival to obtain it.

The power of the Bone Chilling Flame's full-force eruption was probably difficult for even a Dou Emperor to withstand.

At this moment, numerous Beast Emperors throughout the Magic Beast Mountain Range sensed the eruption. They raised their heads the moment the Bone Chilling Flame was ignited, and one by one, they looked in the direction of the Beast Tomb.

"Is that the aura of a Heavenly Flame?!" Many Rank 6 magical beasts sensed the aura of a Heavenly Flame. When they realized what it was, they gasped. "A Heavenly Flame different from the Ten Thousand Beast Flame! That's coming from the direction of the Beast Tomb! Someone has entered it?!"

The bone-white flames instantly filled all the underground cave passages, flooding them in an instant. The flames even rushed out from the crevice in the ground and engulfed the entire Beast Tomb Canyon in white.

Strangely, nothing was burned after the bone-white flames swept through. Instead, the entire area was turned into an icy wasteland!

This was the special ability of the Bone Chilling Flame, a peculiar fire that combined extreme cold and extreme heat. After the terrifying wave of flames passed, what followed was a freezing power that could encase everything in the world in ice.

It wasn't just life that it could freeze. It was said that when the Bone Chilling Flame's power reached its peak during the alternation of day and night, even time and space would be frozen.

The Bone Chilling Flame's freezing power was beyond what ordinary defenses could withstand. The cold energy had a penetrating nature and could even freeze one's soul.

Icy plains and frozen earth. Now, looking down from above, the entire Beast Tomb had completely changed in appearance. What was originally a land of death had now turned into a frozen wasteland. Even the earth itself was encased in ice.

At this moment, the battle site was littered with ice sculptures, each one so lifelike. Well, that made sense, since they had all been alive a few seconds ago...

Among all these ice sculptures, only Xiao Yan maintained a calm expression, a faint smile on his face, as if everything had been within his calculations.

The instant the Bone Chilling Flame erupted, he had wrapped himself with the eight wings and used the last bit of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger's power to protect himself.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

An extremely faint black flame suddenly drilled out from the ice sculptures. Gradually, the Nihility Devouring Flame grew stronger as it continued to devour the solid ice.

More and more of the Nihility Devouring Flame appeared, and in a short time, it engulfed all the surrounding solid ice.

"It's freaking cold!" Xiao Yan felt his whole body shivering from the cold the moment Mao Wu rescued him.

He tossed a medicinal pill into his mouth before he felt warmth returning to his body. After which, he didn't immediately start refining the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Instead, he approached one of the ice sculptures.

The ice sculpture had frozen an old man with a look of panic and confusion on his face. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this was a soul body. Judging from his posture, he had just been about to flee but didn't make it in time.

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ao, who the Bone Chilling Flame had frozen. If Yao Ao hadn't exhausted so much of his Spiritual Strength in the battle against him, the Bone Chilling Flame might not have been able to freeze his Soul State soul.

"It seems you really have no other means left. If you could've defended against even this, then I would've had no choice but to give up on your 7th-tier alchemist soul body and escape with the Ten Thousand Beast Flame."

This was Xiao Yan's true trump card!

The freezing power of the Bone Chilling Flame could even freeze Spiritual Strength and Dou Qi. This was its special ability. The longer one fought against the wielder of the Bone Chilling Flame, the weaker their Dou Qi and Spiritual Strength would become.

Xiao Yan slowly took out the Soul Command. The moment the frozen Yao Ao saw it, his eyes contracted and even showed a hint of pleading in his expression.

But how could Xiao Yan pay him any heed? Not too long ago, this man had tried to seize his body and would have killed him if given the chance.

Xiao Yan didn't have the naive notion of showing mercy to his enemy. He pressed the Soul Command Token against the ice and channeled his Spiritual Strength into it.

The 'Soul' character on the Soul Command seemed to sense something and emitted a strange fluctuation. An eerie suction force emanated from the token. This suction force was ineffective against humans and only worked on soul bodies.

"No!!!" With a whoosh and Yao Ao's unwilling scream, the Soul Command Token directly extracted his soul body from the ice and sucked it in.

Xiao Yan licked his lips. The soul of a high-grade 7th-tier alchemist whose Spiritual State had reached the Soul State, just how many soul points was this worth! It might even be exchangeable for an 8th-tier medicinal pill or a Tian Class Dou Technique.

He then surveyed his surroundings. That 7-star Dou Emperor named Mu Long was truly a fair-weather friend. He had fled the instant the Bone Chilling Flame appeared. A 7-star Dou Emperor's speed was probably faster than an eruption.

Yao Ao had also tried to escape but wasn't as quick-witted as Mu Long and ended up being frozen by the Bone Chilling Flame.

As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it at least showed some sense of loyalty by not running away. Xiao Yan could sense that it was currently using its Amethyst Beast Flame to melt the solid ice, but the Amethyst Beast Flame was far inferior to the Nihility Devouring Flame's devouring ability. It would take some time to melt the ice formed by the Bone Chilling Flame.

"Mao Wu, let's free our good friend the Lion King after I finish refining the Ten Thousand Beast Flame," Xiao Yan said to Mao Wu with a playful grin.

Meow! (>^ω^<)

"This time, it's all thanks to you. Everything here except the Ten Thousand Beast Flame is yours. Devour to your heart's content!"

Mao Wu's eyes immediately lit up. There were so many things here!

There were quite a few remaining beast slaves and ghostly figures. Most importantly, although the soul of this guy Yao Li was gone, his Dou Spirit cultivation still remained.

Xiao Yan used his storage ring to retrieve the Bone Chilling Flame. He could sense that the earlier eruption had depleted its energy. It would need time to slowly absorb the energy of the world to recover.

Of course, if he dared to swallow it whole, he would still be burned to death all the same.

Xiao Yan slowly walked to a massive ice sculpture. It was the image of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and the remnant of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger. All the flames of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame had been exhausted by Xiao Yan. Now was the perfect time to refine it.

The illusory figure of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger began to fade as he used the Nihility Devouring Flame to melt the ice. This marked the complete demise of the Magical Beast Lord of a generation.

"Human boy, I'll give you one last bit of fortune. I hope you can keep your promise."

The moment the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger finally vanished, it transformed into specks of light that slowly drifted toward Xiao Yan along with the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Xiao Yan naturally understood when he saw those specks of light.

He immediately sat cross-legged and executed the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Technique. Those specks of light were the last remnants of the Eight-Winged Flame Demon Tiger's Spiritual Strength, and they might even contain the souls of some of the magical beasts that Yao Ao had killed in the past.

The specks of light that resembled a starry sky were pulled together by a suction force, nourishing his soul.

Xiao Yan, who had already cultivated the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Technique to the peak of the minor mastery level, very smoothly entered the major mastery level with the help of these specks of light from the magical beasts' souls.

His Spiritual Strength had now fully reached the level of a 5th-tier alchemist!
