Chapter 323: Xiao Yixian Breaks Through! Devouring the Poison Flame!
With the help of the Void Beast, Xiao Yixian quickly arrived at the entrance of the eerie green cave tunnel, the very center of the toxic swamp.
Sitting down, Xiao Yixian withdrew the Dou Qi barrier around her and immediately began to absorb the toxins in the green water.
The toxins in the green water penetrated Xiao Yixian's skin, invading her body and causing her whole body to emit a green glow.
In no time, the same phenomenon as before occurred during her cultivation. Above Xiao Yixian's head, the green water started to spin, forming a whirlpool nearly ten meters in size, continuously drawing toxins from the distant green water. As her aura rose to the level of a seven-star Dou King, the surrounding poisonous green water began to take on a black hue.
The concentrated toxins here had reached a level that could instantly kill a Dou Emperor expert, and even a Dou Venerate wouldn't last long.
Yet, Xiao Yixian's expression became increasingly content.
Her cultivation method continuously operated, absorbing the now blackened toxins into her body’s meridians and flesh, rapidly converting them into pure Dou Qi that flowed throughout her body.
In just one day, Xiao Yixian's cultivation had soared to the level of a nine-star Dou King.
This rapid cultivation speed left the Void Beast, who was hovering above the swamp, stunned. Although demon beasts had higher starting points, stronger bodies, and longer lifespans, their cultivation speed was much slower than humans. Even though the Void Beast had transformed into human form, it still felt a huge gap.
While the Void Beast was in shock, below in the swamp, the poisonous water around Xiao Yixian had completely turned black. The massive whirlpool above her began to draw the energy of heaven and earth from this relic space.
Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Above Xiao Yixian's head, there were two gigantic whirlpools: one, a black water whirlpool in the swamp, gathering toxins; the other, an energy whirlpool drawing vast amounts of heaven and earth energy, overlapping the black water whirlpool.
When the energy whirlpool appeared in the swamp's sky, the Void Beast realized that Xiao Yixian was preparing to break through to the Dou Emperor realm.
“Xian'er sister, you must succeed!” Sensing the strain on Xiao Yixian's face, the Void Beast couldn’t help but worry.
“Woo…”
Just then, the small green butterfly held by the Void Beast let out a strange cry.
Having evolved to this level, the Netherworld Poison Flame had gained some intelligence. It knew how to strengthen itself and avoid danger. Its cry was a plea for Xiao Yixian to fail in her breakthrough.
If she succeeded, the chances of her devouring it would increase, and once an exotic flame was consumed, its original intelligence would be erased—essentially a form of death.
Already irritated, the Void Beast became even more annoyed by the butterfly’s cry. Though she didn’t fully understand the butterfly's intent, she decided to teach it a lesson.
“Your crying is annoying me!”
The Void Beast muttered, and her small hand began to squeeze tighter. The purple butterfly in her palm immediately felt immense pressure, its delicate body slightly deforming under the force.
“Woo…”
The butterfly’s distress grew as the pressure increased.
Under the immense pressure, the purple butterfly let out a piercing scream before quickly falling silent, filled with deep-seated fear of the little girl holding it.
“Now behave!”
Seeing the purple butterfly calm down, the Void Beast's young face showed a bit of satisfaction, but soon her attention shifted back to Xiao Yixian.
...
At this moment, the massive energy whirlpool above the swamp was affecting the entire area, even causing disturbances above the ancient city. The gathered heaven and earth energy was at least two or three times more than usual for someone breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm.
Beneath the black water whirlpool, Xiao Yixian's skin was turning red from the tremendous energy impact.
If Xiao Yixian couldn't break through to the Dou Emperor realm now, she would need to stop immediately, or her body would be at risk of exploding from the accumulated energy.
“Sister Xian'er, maybe you should stop!” the Void Beast called out worriedly from above.
Even from the air above the swamp, she could sense that Xiao Yixian was at a critical juncture. If she didn’t stop, it could be dangerous.
Hearing the Void Beast's words, Xiao Yixian didn’t respond. She gritted her teeth, desperately trying to control the immense energy in her body to break through the barrier to the Dou Emperor realm.
As the Void Beast watched anxiously, a loud, muffled sound suddenly came from the swamp below. This was followed by a huge explosion from beneath the water.
The next moment, the water in the swamp began to churn violently, with dozens of ten-meter-high waves crashing into the sky.
At the center of the explosion, a large gray mist began to rise, filled with a deathly aura that deterred any thought of approaching.
Finally, within the gray mist, a white figure with green Dou Qi wings slowly ascended.
“Yay, she did it!”
Seeing the white figure emerge from the water, the Void Beast's heart finally relaxed, and her worried expression turned into one of joy.
“Sister Xian'er, you scared me to death,” the Void Beast said, tugging on Xiao Yixian’s dress with a fearful look.
Seeing the expression on the Void Beast’s face, Xiao Yixian felt a warm rush in her heart. She patted the Void Beast’s head and said softly, “It's my fault for worrying you, little sister Void. I won’t do anything so dangerous next time!”
After comforting the Void Beast, Xiao Yixian turned her gaze to the essence of the Netherworld Poison Flame.
Sensing Xiao Yixian’s gaze, the small purple butterfly shrank its neck in fear. It could sense that one of the auras emanating from Xiao Yixian was very similar to its former master, the Sky Poison Saint.
“Little one, surrender to me willingly!”
Having broken through to the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Yixian’s confidence soared. She wanted to immediately devour and refine the Netherworld Poison Flame.
