BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 237: The Death Flame Spirit Pool

At this moment, Moluo flew over and said, "If it weren't for Xiao Tian's appearance this time, we might have had a hard time killing them!"

"Indeed," Qingzhi nodded. "Who would have thought they would send out two Demon Kings and six Demon Generals all at once."

Moluo sighed, "These evil creatures seem endless. No matter how many we kill, there are always more."

Xiao Tian explained, "As far as I know, there are ten Demon King Halls on the Tianxuan Continent. Each one has at least a two-cycle Reincarnation Calamity level, not to mention numerous True Demon Kings and ordinary Demon Kings."

He continued, "The Heavenly Underworld King and the Spirit King just now were ordinary Demon Kings who broke through in recent years. They haven't even experienced a Reincarnation Calamity yet, while True Demon Kings have gone through at least one."

"So, there are still dozens of Demon Kings out there?" Moluo and Qingzhi were both shocked by this information.

Xiao Tian reassured them, "But there's no need to worry too much. Some of these Demon King Halls and True Demon Kings are sealed. The demons are constantly searching for them. Our job is to find them first and eliminate them."

Xiao Tian wasn't too worried. With the Space Gate, even if a Demon Emperor descended, he could retreat with the strong to the Dou Qi Continent, then counterattack after breaking through to the Dou Di level or higher. Although this was the worst-case scenario, he believed that with the opportunities in both worlds, he could reach the Dou Di level before the Demon Emperor's arrival and clear out the demons on the Tianxuan Continent.

"Alright, we'll stay vigilant," Qingzhi and Moluo nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tian said, "One more thing: if you two seniors come across any strange flames, please let me know. I'm willing to pay a high price."

"Strange flames?" Qingzhi asked curiously. "What do you need them for?"

Xiao Tian explained, "My cultivation technique is special. The more strange flames I have, the faster I can cultivate."

Qingzhi nodded and looked at Moluo with a smile, "Moluo, it looks like this task falls to you."

Moluo gave Xiao Tian a meaningful look and asked, "Kid, are you eyeing my Fire Ancestral Symbol?"

"Although the Fire Ancestral Symbol is great, a gentleman does not covet what others love," Xiao Tian said with a smile. "I only seek unclaimed Ancestral Symbols."

"Don't worry, I'm not stingy," Moluo said seriously. "If you reach the Three-Cycle Reincarnation Calamity, I'll give you my Fire Ancestral Symbol."

"The Three-Cycle Reincarnation Calamity?" Xiao Tian nodded. "I think I can manage that."

The Three-Cycle Reincarnation Calamity corresponded to the Seven-Star Dou Saint level in the Dou Qi Continent. He was already a Two-Star Dou Saint, so he wasn't far from the Seven-Star level.

"Then I'll be looking forward to it," Moluo said with a nod. "For now, I can't give you the Fire Ancestral Symbol, but my Fire God Hall has a special flame. I'm not sure if it's useful to you."

"Oh?" Xiao Tian's interest was piqued.

Moluo dismissed the space, concealing himself and reappearing outside with Qingzhi and Xiao Tian.

Moluo instructed the Grand Elder, "Handle things here. I have something to do."

Then he led Xiao Tian and Qingzhi to the deepest part of the Fire God Hall.

"Creaaak!"

The huge hall door opened, revealing a straight, descending black waterfall.

This waterfall was unique, with a bottomless abyss behind it. The black water flowed upwards from the abyss and cascaded down into a large black pool.

Most strangely, the pool was covered with black flames, and a pure, terrifying death energy emanated from it.

"This is the Death Flame Spirit Pool, a treasure of our Fire God Hall, opened only once a year," Moluo explained. "The black flames inside are formed from pure death energy. Does this count as a strange flame?"

"I need to test it," Xiao Tian said, flying into the Death Flame Spirit Pool and sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

Quickly, a suction force pulled the terrifying black flames into his body.

The death energy of the black flames began to wash over Xiao Tian's body, making his flesh and bones turn grey, as if he were a zombie.

However, Xiao Tian's strong body and cultivation of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique soon allowed him to recover and start absorbing the death energy greedily.

Death energy was a double-edged sword; it could destroy, but if controlled well, it could be a powerful weapon.

"Whoosh!"

The black flames continued to flow into Xiao Tian's body, which he directed to follow the path of the Flame Control Art.

Eventually, the black flames were successfully refined.

Though strong and comparable to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the black flames lacked a spirit, so they only stabilized Xiao Tian's early Two-Star Dou Saint level. The Flame Control Art did not evolve further.

However, having these black flames meant Xiao Tian now controlled eight types of flames, allowing him to potentially create an eight-color destructive fire lotus. He hadn't tested its power yet.

"How was it?" Qingzhi asked.

"It helped, but not much," Xiao Tian said, offering two low-grade Pure Yuan treasures to Moluo. "This is payment for the black flames."

Moluo waved it off, "Improving the strength of the human race is more important now. Keep them."

"Since Moluo won't accept it, you keep it," Qingzhi told Xiao Tian. "What's your next plan?"

"I'm going back to the Eastern Profound Region, then heading to the Demon Region," Xiao Tian replied.

"The Demon Region?" Qingzhi mused, then flicked his fingers, creating a small green bone in front of Xiao Tian.

"When you go to the Demon Region, take this to the Dragon Clan. To master the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, you need to train in the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"The Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool is hard to access," Moluo cautioned. "Though Xiao Tian cultivates the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, he is human. The old dragons won't let him in easily."

"I believe he can get in," Qingzhi said.

"True, a Reincarnation Realm expert might manage," Moluo agreed.
