BOOM!
The Golden Dragon Claw tore through the last Crimson Demon Tiger phantom—its form shattering into a storm of fire.
These defeated phantoms didn't simply vanish—they transformed into purest flame essence, endlessly replenishing Fang Yang's dwindling reserves.
SWOOSH...
Another sweeping strike—
the Inferno Elephant phantom exploded into embers.
Fang Yang's chest heaved violently. His dragon-transformed body was now crisscrossed with burns, every breath searing his lungs.
Yet deep within, his Golden Dragon King bloodline boiled even more fiercely.
"Not enough…"
He wiped blood from the corner of his mouth with a clawed hand.
His golden slit pupils blazed with unyielding defiance.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, enraged by his stubbornness, roared.
Over a hundred remaining phantoms howled as one—and charged from all sides!
"COME!"
Fang Yang bellowed. Behind him, phantom dragon wings fully unfurled.
No more holding back.
He unleashed every ounce of soul power and bloodline energy.
The golden runes on his claws blazed, each strike carrying the force to shatter mountains and cleave valleys.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A relentless storm of detonations turned the Flame Arena into a maelstrom of gold and crimson.
Fang Yang weaved through the chaos—phantoms shattering in his wake.
The dissolving flames flooded into his body—bringing both power and agony, as if his veins were being ripped apart.
ARGH!
When the final Annihilation Flame Dragon was split in half, Fang Yang dropped to one knee, his claw driving deep into the ground.
His body glowed red-hot from the inferno. Golden blood seeped between cracked scales—yet his eyes remained bright as the rising sun.
The entire Flame Arena began to tremble violently.
All shattered phantoms recoalesced—condensing into a pulsing core of primordial fire.
Crimson in hue, it shimmered with the silhouettes of ten thousand beasts—
forged from myriad souls and bloodlines.
It radiated an ancient, soul-shaking aura—
the true essence of the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
Gritting through the pain, Fang Yang rose.
His Golden Dragon Claw closed firmly around the leaping flame.
This battle had done more than test him—
it had reforged his bloodline.
The devoured phantoms hadn't just restored his strength—
they'd rewritten the very foundation of his blood.
"Golden Dragon King…" he whispered, feeling a profound resonance deep within his veins.
As a divine avatar of the Dragon God, the Golden Dragon King had always been bound by the chains of the Dragon God's bloodline—
forever limited, never free.
But now—
bathed in the crucible of the Myriad Beast Fire, those invisible shackles were burning away.
The bloodline's curse was broken.
His limits were no longer confined to the God King realm.
He could now surpass the Dragon God himself, ascending to heights even the Dragon God never reached.
Fang Yang retracted his dragon form and collapsed onto the Heavenly Flame Plaza.
Exhaustion crashed over him like a tidal wave—even his fingers refused to move.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Flame Orb, silent for so long, bloomed with gentle light.
A cool, profound energy flowed through him like spring breeze—
his burns healed visibly, his drained meridians refilled.
His strength returned rapidly under its nurturing grace.
"This is…" Fang Yang cracked his eyes open, sensing the orb's aid.
But rest would have to wait.
Now was the moment to strike while the iron was hot—to fully devour the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
Gritting his teeth, he sat cross-legged.
In his palm, the crimson flame pulsed restlessly—
beast phantoms flickering within, radiating defiant resistance.
Without hesitation—
Fang Yang tipped his head back and swallowed the flame whole.
FLAMES ERUPTED INSIDE HIM.
This wasn't ordinary burning—
it was ten thousand beast phantoms screaming and rampaging through his meridians.
His organs felt thrown into a forge—every drop of blood boiling.
Xuanhuang Flame reacted instantly, forming a protective golden membrane over his channels—
yet it hissed and blackened under the onslaught.
"Graaahh…!"
Fang Yang clenched his jaw, forcing himself to focus.
He drove Xuanhuang Flame into a net of flame, encircling the rampaging Myriad Beast Flame.
The two Heavenly Flames clashed inside him, each collision sending shockwaves through his body.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame possessed a sliver of sentience—
now fighting like a cornered beast, releasing scorching heat and soul-shaking roars.
Fang Yang knew: if he didn't erase this consciousness, the fire would rebel and consume him from within.
"SUBMIT!" he roared inwardly.
The Flame Mantra surged to its limit—
Xuanhuang Flame flooded the core like an invading army.
As the erosion deepened, the flame began pleading, its waves now carrying submission.
"Begging now? Too late!" Fang Yang sneered.
Xuanhuang Flame pressed harder—drowning the last resistance in an ocean of fire.
When the final spark of defiance was extinguished, the flame suddenly went still—
and gently merged into Fang Yang's body.
"Myriad Beast Spirit Flame… successfully devoured!"
Fang Yang exhaled deeply, feeling new power blossom within him.
Now came the most crucial phase: refinement.
Focusing inward, he guided the flame into his meridians, circulating it along the Flame Mantra's path.
To his surprise, refining this consciousness-free flame was far smoother than expected.
Perhaps the grueling battle had already forged a resonance between the fire and his bloodline.
Regardless—this refinement was far easier than his first with Xuanhuang Flame.
And the moment the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame was fully refined—
The Flame Mantra evolved—
leaping to High-Grade Mystic Tier! (High-Grade Xuan Tier)
After a period of quiet meditation, Fang Yang steadied himself.
His expression turned solemn as he sank his consciousness deep into his core.
Now came the most dangerous step of all—
fusing two Heavenly Flames into one.
"Begin."
At his command, all suppression vanished.
The two Heavenly Flames—now unleashed—collided like caged tigers, roaring with world-shattering fury.
BOOOOM!
Though a layer of Flame Mantra soul power buffered the impact, the energy shockwave still shook Fang Yang to his bones.
Teeth gritted, he focused every ounce of will on guiding the fusion.
Through agonizing, endless struggle, the two flames slowly intertwined.
And at last—
they merged into a single, new Heavenly Flame burning quietly within him.
