Chapter 513: Ice Rose and Fire Lotus! Terrifying!
At this moment, Xiao Yan's aura surged. In just an instant, he soared from a One-Star Dou Zun to a Five-Star Dou Zun.
And this was without using Heavenly Flames.
If his flames had been true Heavenly Flames, his power might have instantly skyrocketed to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Zun.
If he had as many Heavenly Flames as Wu Tian, he could have directly reached the peak of Dou Zun.
Unfortunately, poor Xiao Yan didn't have a single Heavenly Flame.
Even so, reaching Five-Star Dou Zun was already a massive achievement.
A Five-Star facing an Eight-Star Dou Zun logically, he stood no chance.
But since when had Xiao Yan ever backed down?
His Dou Techniques were perfectly suited for him whether it was Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler or Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, both were his signature moves!
As his power surged, Xiao Yan no longer chose to flee.
Instead, he channeled his restored Dou Qi into his massive black ruler, causing it to emit an intense, scorching heat.
"Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful strike.
The attack engulfed the space before him in a raging sea of fire, surging like a tidal wave toward Ice River.
The sheer force of the flames matched its name perfectly a tsunami of fire!
However, as the Valley Master of Ice River Valley, how could Ice River's Dou Techniques be any weaker?
The moment Xiao Yan attacked, Ice River gathered energy in both hands.
An instant later, a massive ice phoenix materialized before him.
"Frozen Phoenix Dance!"
With a wave of his hands, the gigantic ice phoenix let out a deafening cry, then soared forward at terrifying speed!
"BOOM!!!"
As the two colossal forces clashed, ice and fire intertwined, causing the surrounding space to become unstable.
The collision between fire and ice resulted in a cataclysmic explosion!
The entire battlefield was transformed within a thousand-meter radius, everything was obliterated.
The land was left desolate, resembling a primordial wasteland.
Amidst the surreal devastation, an inexplicable phenomenon appeared.
Tiny flames flickered atop the snow-covered terrain, while patches of ice remained untouched beside them.
It was a scene of absolute contradiction a world where fire and ice coexisted in harmony, yet beneath the surface, unstable forces threatened to tear reality apart.
At the center of it all, Xiao Yan and Ice River locked eyes.
Ice River's expression darkened.
"You wretched little monk… your strength truly is terrifying. It was the right choice to avoid a direct battle with you before," he muttered coldly.
In his eyes, Xiao Yan had been forced back over ten meters.
Blood trickled from the corner of his lips a sign that he had suffered minor injuries in the explosion.
However, for Xiao Yan, this was nothing.
For a man like Xiao Yan, coughing up blood was just another Tuesday.
Compared to his past struggles, this was nothing at all.
He had actually gone head-to-head with one of Central Continent's Valley Masters something he never would have dared dream of in the past.
He couldn't help but thank the heavens…
Thank the earth…
And most importantly
Thank his fellow countryman, Wu Tian!
Now, all he needed was a non-cheating girlfriend…
But alas, that was impossible.
His hair was gone.
And those eight scars on his bald head would forever remain as a symbol of his miserable fate.
Xiao "Eight-Scars" Yan could only console himself by thinking about how fortunate he was.
If he had a choice, his life would be filled with women.
Yet…
Not only was that impossible, but he couldn't even see a woman anymore.
The closest thing he had to female companionship was…
The medicinal herbs he refined.
…And he wasn't about to waste his essence on herbs!
At this point, Ice River sneered.
"Arrogant brat! Today, I will freeze you into eternal slumber!"
His voice turned ice-cold.
Raising both hands, he slowly stood up from his Frozen Throne.
Clenching his fists, he muttered darkly:
"Dawn's Mercy: Ice Age!"
"Nani?!"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in shock.
Hearing that move's name, he felt like he had just time-traveled back to his childhood.
But he had no time to joke around.
He immediately began preparing his ultimate move.
At this moment, ice and fire energy from a hundred miles away surged toward them.
The sheer pressure of their collision distorted the fabric of space.
As Ice River's deep voice echoed, his Frozen Throne shattered into countless shards of ice.
The ice particles fused into his ultimate technique, amplifying its power!
In the Dou Qi Continent, beyond Heavenly Flames, there existed other extraordinary elements.
Among them, Heavenly Thunder was even rarer and more dangerous than Heavenly Flames.
Unlike flames, which formed naturally, Heavenly Thunder could only manifest when a Seventh-Tier Pill was born.
Even after its formation, absorbing it was nearly impossible far beyond what a normal cultivator could handle.
In the original timeline, Xiao Yan would have never been able to obtain it without a puppet.
However, aside from Heavenly Flames and Heavenly Thunder, there also existed Heavenly Ice!
Yet…
Finding Heavenly Ice was far more difficult than finding Heavenly Flames.
After all, extreme cold regions were beyond the reach of most cultivators.
Moreover, even if an ice attribute cultivator found one, it was useless unless they had the perfect affinity.
That was why Ice Attribute Dou Qi practitioners were so rare.
In all of Wu Tian's travels, he had only encountered a few dozen.
And among them, Ice River was the strongest.
He had something no other ice cultivator had
A legendary Heavenly Ice…
"Aurora Thread."
The moment Ice River shattered his throne, a thin, radiant thread of ice manifested at his fingertips.
As it appeared, the entire world seemed to freeze.
Silence.
Absolute silence.
There was no sound.
There was no movement.
All energy in the surroundings had frozen.
Even Dou Qi itself had ceased to flow as if only Ice Qi remained in existence.
This was the legendary Heavenly Ice…
Aurora Thread.
The icy thread spread outward, causing all frost energy to compress, forming a massive, blooming ice flower.
This was not a lotus
It was an Ice Rose.
It perfectly complemented Ice River's sinister elegance.
At the same time
Xiao Yan's Fire Lotus fully materialized.
At that instant
The battlefield froze over.
All eyes widened in shock.
"This is bad… These two… their techniques are far too terrifying!"
