Time suddenly passed, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan only had eight months left before the so-called one-year period.
Eight months is neither long nor short. In eight months, nothing can be changed. At the same time, it may subvert everything.
In the desolate desert, there are mountains and rivers everywhere, and flying sand and rocks. The deeper you go into the Western Desolate Territory, the greener colors you can see become rarer. The green mountains like the ones you saw before are no longer there.
Scenes like the one before are extremely rare, even if you look at the entire Western Wilderness Territory.
There are many strange rocks in the Gobi, forming a huge stone forest. Although the place seems deserted, because of the stone forest, it can withstand the fierceness of the strong wind, and it also makes this place, invisibly, a place of life.
A refuge, but at the same time, it is also a chaotic place full of killings.
And somewhere in this stone forest, on a relatively empty open space, looking at it at this moment, there are several huge corpses of monsters. The blood has long dried up. The huge bodies dried quickly in this dry environment.
The strong bloody aura emanating from the place frightened other monsters in the stone forest. Even some powerful monsters did not dare to get close to this place.
In the center of the open space, at this moment, a figure wearing a black robe is sitting cross-legged. Next to him, a purple-gold steel body stands impressively.
Frightened.
On the ground, the figure sitting cross-legged is currently closing his eyes, breathing in a coordinated manner, and making cultivation seals with both hands. Within his body, the skills are running rapidly, frantically absorbing the mottled energy between heaven and earth.
Between the heaven and the earth, the mixed energy gathered under the tearing force of the strange suction, and condensed into a huge energy vortex above the figure's head, like a storm, pouring all the endless energy of the heaven and earth into the place in front of him.
The body of the black-robed figure, then, after being refined by the strange fire, turned into a trace of pure energy droplets, and in a flash, it submerged into the cyclone space.
It was not until a long time later that Xiao Yan slowly exited the cultivation state, his eyes trembled slightly, revealing a pair of dark and bright eyes underneath.
Feeling the Dou Qi energy filling his body once again, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath, stood up, glanced flatly at the huge corpses in front of him, and shrugged helplessly.
These monsters would not have died in his hands, but these guys seemed quite dissatisfied with the visit of Xiao Yan, a stranger. They actually attacked Xiao Yan together, but they died tragically under the iron fist of King Bei.
A group of junior Dou Emperors are simply incompetent in front of the current Northern King's power. They basically only punch one punch at a time, and this further proves the power of the strong.
In front of high-level Dou Di, ordinary Dou Di experts are like children. In the eyes of more powerful experts, this is even more true.
After a slight movement of his muscles, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged again, turned his palms over, and a transparent crystal box appeared between Xiao Yan's hands.
In the crystal box, a flower is completely white, except for a ring of light purple flowers about the size of a thumb at the core, which stands leisurely.
It’s the hibiscus flower!
Looking at the hibiscus flower in his arms, Xiao Yan's calm mind became nervous involuntarily. This weird situation of a six-petal hibiscus flower was the only one that Xiao Yan had seen in his life. He had never heard that a hibiscus flower could produce six petals.
Yes, if this thing in front of you is a strange species, swallowing it and refining it will most likely bring great harm to Xiao Yan himself, and even seriously endanger his life, and this is its origin.
The owner didn't dare to devour it, but instead put it up for auction.
There are countless creatures on the continent, including many alien species. Those things are often infected by foreign objects, so they change. Just like the black wood, which was originally a great genius of the Shenling Tribe, but in the end it was because of the influence of foreign objects.
To become bloodthirsty due to infection, to devour the same kind of people, and to pursue what you think is the power, this kind of mentality is simply crazy.
Xiao Yan didn't want to change like that for any reason.
Because of this, Xiao Yan couldn't make a decision when he looked at this delicate six-petal flower in the crystal box.
He knew in his heart that every decision he made now was related to more than just himself...
Guarding the crystal box in his arms, Xiao Yan temporarily fell into meditation, hesitating in his heart.
If the hibiscus flower can be successfully swallowed and refined, it will undoubtedly bring endless benefits to him. With the hibiscus flower, Xiao Yan's soul power will be greatly improved. If nothing unexpected happens,
It is very possible to reach the middle stage of the fourth-level alchemist, and when the time comes, Xiao Yan will be able to meet the Nine-Star Fighting Emperors from the Formation Master Association, relying on his various methods, Xiao Yan will be completely unafraid.
But right now, what worries Xiao Yan is that once something changes during the process of refining the hibiscus flower, not only will he lose power, but he will most likely be hit by the powerful soul power of the hibiscus flower.
Under this, he loses his nature and transforms into a killing machine. Then everything about him will disappear!
If he succeeds, his soul power will skyrocket, his combat power will soar, and he will be one step closer to becoming a true strong man. But if he fails, even though he will not die, Xiao Yan's character will fall into darkness and he will no longer be a human being!
When Xiao Yan is lost in chaos and darkness, who should rescue Xun'er?
What Xiao Yan is most worried about is Xun'er.
"Xun'er..."
He murmured in a low voice, and when he thought of the latter, Xiao Yan's mood immediately dropped...
The atmosphere in the space became inexplicably depressed, Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly, his originally rosy complexion gradually turned red, and the emotions in his heart became completely depressed.
After a few short breaths, the emotions of sadness and anger burst out from the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart like a volcanic eruption. The body sitting cross-legged trembled violently at this moment, with crazy killing intent.
It surged out in my heart, and the majestic energy in my body spurted out uncontrollably in an instant.
"boom!"
The terrifying energy storm centered on Xiao Yan and swept out in all directions. In an instant, it smashed the large stone forest within a hundred feet around Xiao Yan into a pair of rubbles.
Powerful energy continued to pour out. It was not until a while later that Xiao Yan, whose body could not stop shaking, suddenly woke up. His closed eyes suddenly opened, and the crazy killing intent condensed deep in his eyes was as fast as the tide.
After retreating, the terrifying energy pouring out also dissipated instantly.
His forehead was once again covered with cold sweat. Xiao Yan's eyes were scarlet, and angry tears were rolling in his eyes. He was panting heavily, as if he had endured some great pain. He looked quite amazing.
.
It was not until half an hour later that Xiao Yan's trembling body gradually stabilized, and the rioting emotions in his heart slowly calmed down as if they had been vented. Xiao Yan's face also returned to normal, but in his eyes, there was something extra
He had a determined expression.
"Xun'er, even if I really fall into the dark abyss, I will definitely...bring you back!"
