Chapter 283: Flame Dragon Fruit

The sudden tremor of the Ancestral Dragon Ring caused Yang Xiao's expression to shift slightly, a trace of alarm flashing in his eyes. This place was a demon-sealing ground, and something might have gone wrong.

"Uncle Xiao, the Ancestral Dragon Ring has been shaking for a while now, not just a moment," Yang Tian said, accustomed to it, pursing his lips.

"Heh, something must have changed inside. But with that powerful figure in there, no one should be foolish enough to cause trouble, right?" Yang Xiao shook his head and said.

The figure inside the palace was extremely terrifying, with unparalleled fire control skills that were the bane of demons. They wouldn't act rashly.

"Powerful figure?" Yang Tian's eyes showed confusion as he looked at Yang Xiao.

"It's the Fire Origin I mentioned to you before. After hundreds of thousands of years, it has cultivated into human form with immense power, practically invincible in the Eastern Continent," Yang Xiao said with a smile.

"Fire Origin!" Yang Tian's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming. He marveled inwardly at the wonders of the world, where even a flame could cultivate into human form.

"Yes, that Fire Origin is guarding inside." Yang Xiao nodded and smiled. "Let's go out and take a look. Something major must have happened."

Yang Xiao's tone was confident. His strength was now far beyond what it used to be, and he had the ability to protect Yang Tian and escape.

In the world of flames, blazing waves spewed everywhere. The void was scorching hot, and every mountain peak was like a volcano spewing magma, stretching for countless miles.

Yang Tian appeared in this mountain range. After scanning the surroundings, he froze when he noticed the celestial changes in the distance.

Thick black mist, like a tornado, rose straight up, unimaginably vast, swaying in the void! The sky seemed to collapse, as if even heaven and earth couldn't contain it—a scene of apocalyptic destruction.

"This is evil aura, truly demonic!" After a moment of silence, Yang Tian slowly opened his eyes, crimson light shooting from his pupils as he shouted.

The place indicated by the Ancestral Dragon Ring was a gathering of demonic creatures. In the thick black mist, one could see skulls, broken limbs, and other horrifying sights.

"It seems these guys have emerged. Someone is attacking the formation. Judging by the fluctuations, it's about to break through," Yang Xiao said, gritting his teeth as he gazed at the distant celestial phenomenon.

"Uncle Xiao, should we go over?" Yang Tian scratched his head and asked. These people must be terrifyingly powerful; if something unexpected happened, it would be bad.

"We'll go, but not now." After a pause, Yang Xiao looked into the distance and said slowly, "A large number of powerful outsiders are rushing here. It seems the outside world has been alerted. I hope they can hold them off."

With that, Yang Xiao surveyed the surroundings, a smile appearing in his eyes. In his palm, the Azure Flame Heavenly Fire emerged, radiating heavenly might, blazing and fearsome.

Seeing this, Yang Tian showed confusion but didn't interrupt.

"Gather!" Yang Xiao suddenly shouted softly. The Azure Flame Heavenly Fire floated in the void, like a king of flames, emitting terrifying waves, and the surrounding mountains began to change.

Just as Yang Tian was stunned, the void rippled. From a nearby mountain peak, a wisp of fire spirit suddenly appeared, crimson red, its flames flickering, distorting the void.

"A fire spirit! Uncle Xiao can actually summon them!" Yang Tian's face was dumbfounded as he exclaimed. The greatest benefit of the Dan Fire Domain was these fire spirits; capturing them to enhance one's dan fire was a dream for every alchemist.

However, these fire spirits were not easy to capture. They usually hid deep in the earth's core, requiring extremely strong soul perception to detect.

Yang Tian couldn't help but marvel. The Azure Flame Heavenly Fire was like a king of flames, commanding all fires, and these fire spirits dared not resist.

Yang Xiao smiled. As the Azure Flame Heavenly Fire's power in the void grew stronger, wisps of fire spirits emerged from the mountains, captured at great speed. In no time, seven or eight were caught.

Clang! The Golden Crow Divine Furnace hummed, sealing all the incoming fire spirits. Yang Tian was overjoyed; these fire spirits were very powerful, already at the level of Mysterious Fire.

If absorbed by his dan fire, the benefits would be unimaginable. The two of them passed through many mountains, capturing dozens of fire spirits.

At this moment, Yang Xiao's gaze fell on a towering mountain peak, joy appearing in his eyes. The Azure Flame Heavenly Fire in the void spat continuously, blazing fiercely, melting the mountain.

The Azure Flame Heavenly Fire was terrifyingly powerful, burning a passage straight into the earth's core. Below the core was a world of magma, and at its center were stalactites, like a cave dwelling.

At the center of the cave was a fiery red tree, radiating terrifying flames, its branches and leaves crystal clear, about seven or eight zhang tall.

On the fiery red tree grew twelve fruits, each the size of a fist, with a peculiar shape like a coiled little dragon, surrounded by flickering flames and emitting a strange fragrance that made one feel refreshed.

"I didn't expect a Flame Dragon Fruit tree to grow here! What incredible fortune!" Yang Xiao laughed heartily. This was a rare treasure tree, growing only in flame-gathering places, extremely difficult to form—a heavenly treasure.

Flame Dragon Fruit had remarkable effects on the physical body, a treasure sought after by ancient cultivators and favored by major powers. A single fruit commanded an exorbitant price.

"Just what we needed, and this land is good too." Yang Xiao smiled. With a slight wave of his hand, the entire stalactite cave seemed to be cut by something, a hundred-zhang-wide patch of ground lifting into the air.

"Heh, you come along too." Yang Xiao flicked his finger, extracting a fire spirit from beneath the ground—a cloud-blue fire spirit, far stronger than those he had captured earlier.

The fiery red tree appeared before Yang Tian. He scratched his head, his incredulous eyes scanning it. After staring for a while, he couldn't identify this rare treasure, but the fruits on it were no ordinary ones.

"Heh, this is Flame Dragon Fruit, a divine medicine for tempering the body. You'll know its effects soon enough," Yang Xiao said with a smile, transplanting the fiery red tree along with the red soil into the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

Bang! The tree appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring, quickly taking root, attracting Little White and the Little Divine Herb. They instantly appeared on the tree.

"Ao wu..." Little White wagged his tail, staring eagerly at the fruits on the tree, a drop of crystal drool falling. He suddenly pounced, biting into a fruit.

"Ya..." The Little Divine Herb saw Little White stealing and reached out a tender little hand, slapping Little White's forehead hard.

"Wu wu..." After eating the fruit, Little White licked his lips. Just as his gaze fell on the remaining fruits, his furry body suddenly turned bright red.

"Roar..." Little White suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a burst of flame, his body as red as silk, glowing brilliantly.

"Ya..." The Little Divine Herb was startled, seeing Little White's drunken appearance, his bright big eyes flickering.
