Chapter 64 - The Strange Source

"A Dou Di's corpse?" Xiao Yan's pupils shrank.

A Dou Di was the strongest existence in this world. Their lifespan was almost endless, and no one had ever accurately calculated how long a Dou Di could live.

However, according to ancient historical records, a Dou Di's normal lifespan could definitely exceed ten thousand years.

"Hehe, does it seem terrifying?" The Yin Yang Evil Saint smiled faintly. "If it were just a dead Dou Di, it might be shocking, but it wouldn't be frightening."

At this point, a terrifying expression appeared on his face. "But the ancient emperor's corpse I saw was just like my current body."

After saying this, his eyes revealed a flicker of fear as he pointed at his corpse.

"Just like this body?" Xiao Yan was stunned at first. When he looked at the Yin Yang Evil Saint's corpse, a terrifying thought emerged from his mind.

Xiao Yan's scalp tingled, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.

"Could it be that that Dou Di also..."

"That's right." Yin Yang Evil Saint nodded, his expression complex.

"Can you imagine the fear I felt at the time? The being we'd always believed in, the strongest and most invincible existence in this world, had actually died in such a bizarre and ominous state."

In the hearts of everyone on the Dou Qi Continent, the Dou Di were considered invincible. With a wave of their hand, they could shake the very foundations of the land.

Their bloodline power could revitalize an entire clan.

They could endure for ten thousand years without decay.

Perhaps, a Dou Di of equal level could team up to put another Dou Di in a dangerous situation, even leading to their demise, but they never imagined that a Dou Di would die in such a miserable way.

Covered in red fur, his body transformed into a terrifying monster, ultimately dying in helplessness, and his corpse became another source of the eerie.

"No, this shouldn't be my script." Xiao Yan shook his head.

He suddenly felt that Shi Hao, whom he knew at Danta, should be the future of the continent.

Or perhaps, in a certain forbidden area of the continent, there should be a young man who forgot to pay his parking fee, having transmigrated.

"So, you were infected after seeing the corpse of that Dou Di?" Xiao Yan raised his head, looking at the Yin Yang Evil Saint with pity.

"That's right, just like you glanced at my corpse just now, I also took a glance at the corpse of that Dou Di powerhouse." The Yin Yang Evil Saint's voice was laced with helplessness.

"Just a single glance, and I felt a strange power entering my body. Fortunately, my soul strength had reached the Heavenly Realm back then, and coupled with the protection of the Yin Yang Holy Flame, I finally managed to preserve my soul."

"Yin Yang Holy Flame?" Xiao Yan looked at the Yin Yang Evil Saint with a puzzled expression.

"That's right, it is indeed the Yin Yang Holy Flame!" The Yin Yang Evil Saint nodded with a smile, a hint of pride on his face.

"I obtained this Yin Yang Twin Flame back when I was a Battle Sect. I tempered it with my original Dou Qi for a hundred years. I know that the Yin Yang Twin Flame isn't highly ranked on the Heavenly Flame list; it's nothing compared to the top ten Heavenly Flames.

So, for a hundred years, I've been searching the continent for Yin Yang energy to cultivate it. Later, I found a new seedling of the Yin Yang Twin Flame in a treasure land."

"Wouldn't the fusion of two Heavenly Flames cause a terrifying explosion?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

He remembered in the original story, a person named Venerable Tianhuo had failed to merge two types of Fallen Heart Flames in the underground of Canaan Academy, and he ended up killing himself because of the conflict between the Heavenly Flames.

"That's right." The Yin Yang Evil Saint nodded slightly. "But I was already a Battle Saint by then, and the Yin Yang Twin Flame is a relatively low-ranking Heavenly Flame. I could barely suppress it with my strength alone."

"Furthermore!" He paused, then continued, "I had a good relationship with a Saintess of the Yan Clan, and she stole some of the Melting Flame Technique from her clan for me.

Coupled with the large amount of Yin Yang essence I used for harmonization, it finally allowed the Yin Yang Twin Flame to advance to the next level, becoming what I call the Yin Yang Holy Flame."

"Where does this Yin Yang Holy Flame rank on the Heavenly Flame list?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"It should be around thirteenth to fifteenth," the Yin Yang Evil Saint replied, causing Xiao Yan's eyes to light up.

"Hehe, the true power of this Heavenly Flame doesn't lie in its might." The Yin Yang Evil Saint suddenly wore a look of pride. "This flame has been nurtured within me for a century, absorbing not only vast amounts of yin and yang essence from the heavens and earth, but also gathering the yin and yang energy of humanity."

"What do you mean?"

"It means, this flame can help you cultivate through dual cultivation!"

At these words, Xiao Yan's breath quickened.

A Heavenly Flame that could aid in dual cultivation – for a man, its allure might be even greater than a Heavenly Flame ranked in the top ten.

"If you obtain this flame, coupled with my original Yin Yang Holy Scripture, you can greatly accelerate your cultivation speed through dual cultivation."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's throat bobbed slightly.

"How about it? I'm bestowing this great gift upon you. Are you willing?" The Yin Yang Evil Saint wore a smile that all men would understand.

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then with a thud, he knelt on the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Without a word, he kowtowed three times.

"Senior's kindness, this junior will never forget."

Seeing his actions, even the Yin Yang Evil Saint was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.

"Get up. You are the Holy Son of the Xiao Clan, you must have the dignity of a genius!" The Yin Yang Evil Saint couldn't help but say.

"No, Senior has practically given this junior a new life."

Xiao Yan's expression was serious.

Hearing his words, a hint of amusement appeared on the Yin Yang Evil Saint's face.

He hesitated for a moment, then gently tapped the Yin Yang Twin Fish floating above the red-haired corpse's head.

"Boom!" Terrifying flames erupted from the Yin Yang Twin Fish, continuously releasing Yin Yang fire.

When the flames condensed to a certain degree, the Yin Yang Twin Fish also showed a slight weakness.

With another flick of his finger, the Yin Yang Holy Flame trembled slightly, and the Yin Yang Evil Saint's body became even more ethereal.

"I have already removed the soul imprint of the Yin Yang Twin Flames; now, they are yours." He waved his right hand, and two fish, emitting terrifying high temperatures, swam in front of Xiao Yan.

Without the suppression of the Yin Yang Holy Flame, the red-haired corpse showed signs of stirring again.

Watching this scene, Yin Yang Evil Saint sighed lightly. His soul slowly floated above the corpse, continuing to suppress it with the Yin Yang Holy Flame he had extracted earlier.

"I can suppress this corpse for another ten years. If no one resolves this within ten years, a catastrophe will befall Central Continent."

"If you are qualified to meet Shao Bei, please ask him to solve this problem. After a thousand years of attrition, this strange power is no longer as terrifying as it once was. A Nine-Star Dou Sheng should be more than enough to handle it."

"Before my soul dissipates, I would still like to see an old friend."

"This junior will certainly fulfill your wish, senior." Xiao Yan took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a bow towards Yin Yang Evil Saint.

He might be a lecherous man who enjoys women, but he is a good Battle Saint.

"Quickly refine this Yin Yang Holy Flame. I can still protect you while I can," Yin Yang Evil Saint suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"If you refine it too slowly, that girl from the Yao Clan will probably get impatient."
