Chapter 132: Nirvana Demon Flame

As they were about to proceed, the sound of something breaking through the air reached their ears. The group turned to see a dozen figures approaching. However, upon spotting Xiao Tian, they halted at a distance. The leader respectfully cupped his fists towards Xiao Tian before leading his men away. Xiao Tian's battle with the Mo Yan Dynasty had left a deep impression on these Nirvana cultivators. Everyone present believed they couldn't match Xiao Tian in a fight.

"Let's go in," Xiao Tian said, withdrawing his gaze and leading his group onto the cultivation platform. To prevent any interruptions, he activated the platform's protective formation.

"Buzz!" A red protective barrier appeared, enveloping the entire platform and emitting waves of energy to block any external disturbances.

Since this place was not particularly beneficial to Little Doctor Immortal and the others, Xiao Tian had left them in the Dou Qi Continent to continue their cultivation. Once inside the platform, everyone sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. Xiao Tian summoned the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, which transformed into a black hole and started drawing in the Nirvana Qi.

Soon, the entire space was filled with Nirvana Qi. Most of it was absorbed by Xiao Tian, while the remaining Nirvana Qi was shared among the others. As the Devouring Ancestral Symbol converted the vast amounts of Nirvana Qi into absorbable energy, Xiao Tian's cultivation level finally began to rise.

...

Time passed unnoticed in cultivation, and Xiao Tian spent over two months on the platform before breaking through to the two-star Dou Zun level. Opening his eyes slowly, Xiao Tian thought to himself, "Damn, the amount of energy needed to advance in the Dou Zun realm is insane!" Considering his Devouring Ancestral Symbol refined energy rapidly, it was no wonder others took years, or even decades, to advance a single level.

After his breakthrough, Xiao Tian decided to explore. He instructed Lin Dong to open the formation for him to exit and then close it afterward. He left Lin Dong and the others to continue their cultivation on the platform.

Outside, Xiao Tian ventured deeper into the area. As he proceeded, he noticed the temperature rising significantly. In the distance, the space appeared to be ablaze with a crimson glow, like a sea of fire extending far beyond the horizon.

"Nirvana Flame!" Xiao Tian's eyes lit up as he rushed into the sea of fire. Moving forward, he found numerous crimson spheres filled with volatile energy.

"Nirvana Fire Thunder!" Little Marten's voice echoed in Xiao Tian's mind, explaining, "These are condensed from pure Nirvana Qi. A single one can severely injure an ordinary Nirvana stage cultivator. But for you, with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, this place is a treasure trove!"

Nodding, Xiao Tian activated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, transforming it into a black hole that consumed one of the Nirvana Fire Thunders.

"Boom!" As the Nirvana Fire Thunder exploded within the black hole, Xiao Tian felt a surge of powerful energy flooding into his body. Devouring the Nirvana Fire Thunders proved even more effective than cultivating by the Dan River.

Continuing forward, Xiao Tian eventually reached the edge of the Nirvana Flame. On one side was the fiery Nirvana Flame, while the other side held a pale black flame that seemed to have a mind of its own, occasionally forming into various beast shapes or human faces, looking quite eerie.

Through Little Marten's explanation, Xiao Tian learned this was the Nirvana Demon Flame, which only appeared after the third Nirvana Tribulation. Even Nirvana Golden Bodies could be melted by this flame.

"I wonder if devouring this Nirvana Demon Flame can further evolve my Flame Mantra," Xiao Tian thought. With that, he reached out to grab the Nirvana Demon Flame. As soon as his hand touched the flame, the golden sheen on his skin began to dim.

"Be careful," Little Marten warned. "This Nirvana Demon Flame has been nurtured within the Nirvana Burning Heaven Array; it's not an ordinary flame!"

Rather than worry, Xiao Tian felt even more excited. He needed powerful flames for his cultivation. To make the devouring process easier, he opened a spatial gate and entered it with the Nirvana Demon Flame.

Inside the space, the flame lost the support of the external array. "Now, I'll devour you," Xiao Tian declared, swallowing the flame. "Boom!" Instantly, his body was engulfed in the black flame.

Despite its strength, the Nirvana Demon Flame was no match for the five combined heavenly flames already within Xiao Tian. With their assistance, he eventually devoured the Nirvana Demon Flame.

After some time, Xiao Tian opened his eyes. He felt his cultivation had surged from two-star Dou Zun to four-star Dou Zun. However, his Flame Mantra had not advanced.

"Sigh," Xiao Tian sighed. "It's still not strong enough." Standing up, he left the space and reappeared in the sea of fire. A layer of black flame now covered his body, merging him with the fire, making him immune to its dangers.

As he was about to leave the area, Little Marten's voice echoed in his mind. Two figures appeared in the fiery distance, one a shadowy figure and the other a more ethereal presence that blended with the fire.

"Be cautious. Their auras are strange," Little Marten warned.

"They should be from the Western Profound Region," Xiao Tian transmitted back. He recalled from the original story that the Western Profound Region, ruled by demons, sent many operatives into the ancient battlefield to seize its treasures.

"Who's there?" The hidden figure scanned the area sharply.

"Discovered?" Xiao Tian wondered as he emerged from the fire. "Devouring Realm!" As soon as he appeared, darkness spread from him, enveloping the two figures instantly.

"The Devouring Ancestral Symbol? You have the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?" The two were terrified as the Devouring Realm surrounded them.

"Correct, but no prizes for guessing," Xiao Tian said, narrowing his eyes as he unleashed his heavenly flames, incinerating the two into ashes. Knowing his possession of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, they had to die.
