Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

Chapter 959 The Seven Ancestors Emerge from Seclusion

Lin Yan felt a stinging pain in his fingers; it was the pain caused by the high temperature burning through his ice armor.

At this moment, his fingers were gradually melting, and even his entire palm was about to be charred. The intense pain made him want to pull his hand back.

"No, we can't give up like this!"

He roared inwardly, forcing himself to endure the excruciating pain, and reached for the fire.

Chi Chi Chi!

The ice armor melted even faster, and Lin Yan's palm melted instantly as well.

"Swallow the Heavenly Cold Fruit again!"

The sword spirit unleashed an icy blue fruit, which Lin Yan instantly absorbed, sending a cool sensation through his body and suppressing the searing pain in his soul once more.

Taking advantage of the sudden chill, Lin Yan immediately grabbed the fire.

The moment Lin Yan touched the Dao Fire, he felt as if his entire body was melting. His flesh and soul seemed to be annihilated in that instant. The crisis of death filled him with unprecedented terror.

"no no!"

Lin Yan roared inwardly.

The body's instincts are terrifying. The power of this fire is a whole realm beyond Lin Yan's. This kind of crisis is deep in his soul and cannot be dispelled.

"Boy, if you can't even refine the Dao Flame, don't even think about fighting against those ancient families! Not to mention the Demon Ancestor Starfield and the alien demons, who are a hundred times more terrifying than the Demon Ancestor Starfield..."

The Dragon Emperor Sword Spirit murmured.

“I can’t give up!”

"I still have so much to do! I still have people to protect! I absolutely cannot fall here!"

Lin Yan seemed to hear that murmur, and an infinite desire to survive and willpower erupted within him. In that moment, he forgot about life and death, and recklessly devoured that power of fire:

"Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique!"

puff puff!

The Dao Fire was incredibly domineering. Even with the suppression of various rare and precious materials such as the Seven-Colored Profound Ice, Lin Yan instantly dissolved, his physical body disappearing like a mud ox entering the sea.

Next up is Ice Heart Armor.

The Ice Heart Armor possessed a relatively strong ice attribute, which blocked the erosion of the Dao Fire. However, it only blocked 60% of the power, with the remaining 40% penetrating the Ice Heart Armor and affecting Lin Yan's soul.

The feeling was as if someone had thrown Lin Yan's brain into lava, where it was scorching, burning, and intensely hot, devouring everything.

Lin Yan's eyes turned the color of flames, as if his soul was about to be swallowed by the flames.

"Ah! The Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique!"

In this desperate situation, he forcibly circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing the essence of the Dao Fire little by little.

One strand, two strands... As the amount of Dao Fire essence accumulated in his body gradually increased, Lin Yan's resistance to Dao Fire also began to increase.

However, the increase in Dao Fire resistance was far from keeping up with the rate at which Lin Yan's body was collapsing.

His soul was burned and shattered, almost to the point of complete annihilation.

"Nine Heavens War God Technique, charge!"

At the critical moment, Lin Yan summoned the power of his clones. His clones had not fully recovered since the last time they were damaged, but during this period of breakthroughs, clones would appear with each new realm.

This allowed Lin Yan to accumulate several more clones.

Boom!

These clones were instantly sacrificed, transforming into boundless power to forcibly prolong Lin Yan's life.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Yan frantically absorbed the essence of the Dao Fire, increasing his resistance to it.

The first clone collapsed.

The second one follows immediately.

The second clone collapsed, and the third...

And so, one clone after another went forward, sacrificing their very essence, and the power of Dao Fire accumulated within Lin Yan's body grew ever stronger.

Meanwhile, the power of the Dao Fire was drawn away, a process of ebb and flow.

When the last of the clones' power was sacrificed, a balance was reached between the Dao Fire and Lin Yan. Although the Dao Fire was still domineering, it was not enough to completely destroy Lin Yan.

"Great! Almost done! All that's left is time!"

Blade & Soul was overjoyed.

"This guy, as expected of the successor chosen by the master, can refine the Dao Flame at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. It's simply amazing! Even the master back then could never have done this."

The Extreme Cold Dragon Emperor Sword clicked its tongue repeatedly.

Let alone those at the ninth level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, even those at the ninth level of the Battle Spirit Realm have an extremely high failure rate in refining Dao Fire!

But Lin Yan, by some twist of fate, became one!

"Next, it's time to refine it as quickly as possible!"

The sword spirit laughed.

The two sides began a tug of war.

Lin Yan continuously devoured the Dao Fire, while the Dao Fire sought to destroy Lin Yan.

As the two sides clashed, Lin Yan's side accumulated more and more Dao Fire Origin.

Time is like water.

While Lin Yan was refining the Dao Fire, an ancient coffin appeared out of nowhere in the ancestral land of the Qin clan outside.

The coffin was completely black, giving off a sense of oppression.

The coffin lid peeked out slightly, and a dense aura of death emanated from within, making the entire Qin Clan continent seem to have fallen into a land of death.

"We respectfully welcome the Seventh Ancestor!"

In the ancestral land of the Qin clan, countless cultivators looked at the black pipe with awe and bowed down one after another.

"The descendants of my lineage shall be born immediately! They shall accompany me to the Holy Heaven Star Sea!"

From within the dark pipe came the indifferent yet majestic voice of the Seventh Ancestor.

"Yes! Ancestor!"

Below, in the ancestral land, more than a dozen Dou Ling Realm experts appeared. These dozen or so Dou Ling Realm experts were all of the bloodline of the Seven Ancestors.

The strongest among them even reached the seventh level of the Battle Spirit Realm! They were the lineage leader level experts!

Even for the Douling family, those at the seventh level of Douling are extremely rare, not as common as cabbages on the roadside.

The lineage of the Seven Ancestors only has a few cultivators at or above the seventh level of the Battle Spirit Realm.

This is also why the Seventh Patriarch was furious.

There are not many experts of this caliber to begin with, and now one of them has fallen. If the Seven Ancestors lineage does not launch a strong counterattack, it will affect the reputation of the entire lineage.

On this day, many people in the void star field saw a pitch-black pipe lying in the air, and beneath that pitch-black coffin were more than a dozen Dou Ling Realm experts, like a funeral procession.

Their destination was the Holy Heaven Star Sea!

"Hmm? You said the Seven Ancestors of the Qin Clan have emerged from seclusion? The Void Alliance contacted the Qin Clan several times before, asking them to send more ancestral-level figures, but they declined each time. Why are they being so proactive this time?"

Inside the Void Great Dao Sect, after learning of the situation, Inspector Luo Yan felt something was amiss.

Those seven ancestors were not only at the ninth level of the Battle Spirit Realm, but also super giants at the peak of the ninth level. Such powerhouses were even stronger than Elder Zhan.

Every additional peak ninth-level Dou Ling cultivator on the frontier will significantly increase the combat power of the human race.

"This matter is likely related to Qin Hai's death. Not long ago, at Watchtower No. 3, Lin Yan tortured Qin Hai to death..."

"That's what the monk who delivered the intelligence said."

"Huh? What! That kid actually killed Qin Hai!"

Luo Yan was taken aback.

"This is bad! Qin Hai was personally cared for by the Seven Ancestors, who placed great hopes on him! Now that he has been killed, how could the Seven Ancestors let this go?"

Luo Yan felt very uneasy.

The rage of a peak ninth-level Dou Ling is terrifying; even the Void Dao Sect has to consider the impact!

Moreover, someone like the Seventh Patriarch might just find an opportunity that will allow him to take that step.

"My lord, what should we do now? The Seven Ancestors have already set off for the Holy Heaven Star Sea! I'm afraid they will arrive at the Star Sea Battlefield soon."

The monk who came to report hurriedly inquired.

He knew that Luo Yan valued Lin Yan highly, so he informed him of the news as soon as possible to avoid any trouble later.
