The Soul Emperor sensed the aura of the Void Devouring Flame and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, as expected, that strange palace is the source of this strange fire."
"It seems your Soul Clan knows quite a lot," Gu Yuan said in a low voice from behind.
"Hmph!" The Soul Emperor did not reply, but instead accelerated his advance.
Lin Qing looked at the Void Devouring Flame trapped in his palm and said indifferently, "Since I have obtained the strange fire, I won't see you off."
These words appeared directly within the bodies of all the Battle Saints inside the Flaming Mountain, and then they were teleported outside the Flaming Mountain by an invisible force.
"Who's inside? My Void Devouring Flame!" Soul Emperor roared, and was about to rush in again.
Just as he was about to enter, suddenly, the quiet golden flames swelled up, and the area where there were few people instantly expanded.
The Soul Emperor was also startled by this phenomenon. He quickly calmed down and then moved away from the range of the flames.
"Something's wrong with Flaming Mountain! Retreat quickly!" Gu Yuan shouted, and led his people in a swift retreat.
The Medicine Clan Chief glanced at the Soul Clan and the Thunder Clan, then without saying a word, waved his hand and retreated along with the Ancient Clan.
The Thunder Clan and the Soul Clan have not yet retreated; they have only withdrawn a few thousand meters.
A minute later, the flames expanded again, instantly engulfing the Soul Clan and Thunder Clan.
This terrified both tribes, and they immediately retreated in a panic.
Finally, all four clans left the Lost Soul Mountain Range. Outside the Lost Soul Mountain Range, there were still many powerful forces and clans, as well as some rogue cultivators and powerful individuals who were just watching the spectacle.
"What happened? What went wrong inside? Why did the Flame Dragon suddenly disappear?"
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"I saw the flames actually burning outwards. Didn't you guys succeed?"
A Dou Zun-level expert might not know, but how many Dou Sheng-level experts know about the eight ancient clans?
Immediately, a large number of Battle Saints began to discuss among themselves, even though the eight ancient clans were a deeply hidden force.
"Not good, retreat quickly, the flames are coming!" A Dou Sheng suddenly roared, then quickly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
Subsequently, a large number of powerful figures, including Dou Sheng and Dou Zun, fled the area in a hurry.
"It's stopped! It's stopped!" Chen Kong, with his severed hand, exclaimed, pointing at the Samadhi Fire in the distance.
Everyone stopped immediately and turned around to look. Sure enough, the golden flame had stopped.
Now, the entire Lost Soul Mountain Range is enveloped by this golden, strange fire.
The temperature around the Lost Souls Mountain Range rose sharply, some water sources began to evaporate, and a large number of magical beasts and ferocious creatures began to flee to more distant places.
However, some fire-attribute magical beasts showed no discomfort whatsoever, and were all extremely excited.
Many plants began to die, but some fire-attribute plants or spirit plants grew better and better.
Clearly, the area around the Lost Souls Mountain Range is becoming increasingly suitable for fire-attribute beings due to the presence of the Samadhi Divine Fire.
If this flame continues, this place will surely become a paradise for anything related to fire.
Lin Qing said gently to the fire dragon in front of him, which was less than a meter long, "Little guy, you can stay in the Lost Soul Mountain Range!"
"I have already awakened your intelligence. You can grow slowly here. Your strength has already reached the Dou Di level. You cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Remember, never leave the Mountain Range of the Dead lightly. Your roots are here, and..."
"Alright, go ahead!" Lin Qing waved his hand and said softly.
The little dragon circled around Lin Qing's head a few times before disappearing into the flames.
"Alright, everything's settled, let's finish the mission!" Lin Qing said to himself as he sat on the sofa.
With a thought, nine strange flames appeared before Lin Qing. These flames were:
Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Void Devouring Flame, and finally, the fusion of Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame and Volcanic Stone Flame.
The emergence of each strange fire is met with fierce competition and bloodshed among various forces. Each strange fire here is enough to drive a Dou Sheng mad.
There were actually ten of them here. If outsiders knew this, it would be a shock to the world.
Lin Qing didn't care about any of this and happily said to the air, "System, submit the different flames."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine strange flames in front of him disappeared. Even Lin Qing, who was so powerful, was secretly amazed by this scene.
[Collection complete. The fused flame split into the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame and the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame.]
[Ding! All five types of strange flames have been collected. Main quest complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check them.]
[Ding! All ten types of strange flames have been collected. Side quest complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check them yourself.]
"Not bad, a total of 33.75 million evolution points have been added. As for the advancement of the Samadhi Divine Fire..."
"Is this what will allow my Samadhi Divine Fire to advance?" Lin Qing took out a small, dark flame from his storage space.
Lin Qing didn't sense any special energy in this small flame; its temperature was even lower than that of an ordinary flame.
He asked somewhat skeptically, "System, are you sure this can help my Samadhi Divine Fire advance?"
This small flame is formed by fusing the special abilities of ten different flames, and it can help your Samadhi Divine Flame advance.
Lin Qing asked, "So how do we use this? Do we just swallow it? Or..."
[It can be swallowed directly; it will automatically merge with the Samadhi Divine Fire.]
"Alright!" Lin Qing took the small flame and threw it directly into his mouth, swallowing it with a gulp.
Then, Lin Qing closed his eyes, sat motionless on the sofa, and after a long while, slowly opened his eyes. Two golden flames flashed and disappeared in his eyes.
"The color hasn't changed, it's just become much darker. The Three Flavors Divine Flame feels much more high-class now." Lin Qing was very satisfied with the upgraded Three Flavors Divine Flame.
The power of the Three Flavors Divine Flame is at least ten times greater than that of the Three Flavors Divine Fire. Lin Qing believed that using this flame to burn Saitama would definitely break through his defenses.
Just after Lin Qing's Samadhi Divine Fire advanced, the little dragon in the Lost Soul Mountain Range, whose intelligence had just begun to awaken, rapidly swelled up, and its aura as an early-stage Dou Di had reached its peak.

Deep in the Tagor Desert.
"Teacher, teacher, I've reached the Great Dou Master level, and I'm even a five-star Great Dou Master!" Xiao Yan, shirtless, exclaimed excitedly.
"Not bad, haha, not only have you improved, but even my soul power has actually improved to the Dou Zong level." Yao Lao laughed heartily.
Xiao Yan was also overjoyed: "Congratulations, teacher. By the way, teacher, I feel that my Samadhi Divine Flame has become a little stronger."
"That's right, I felt it too. It's because of the Samadhi Divine Fire that we've improved so much," the old doctor said confidently, stroking his beard.
"Could it be Master's side?" Xiao Yan immediately thought of Lin Qing.
"Judging from your senior's experience, he has already obtained enough strange fire. Perhaps he had the Samadhi Divine Fire devour those flames, which led to his evolution."
The old doctor said with great enthusiasm, "And our flames are equivalent to secondary flames, so we have also benefited."
The Realm of Flames.
The three juniors, each possessing the Three Flavors Divine Fire, were gathered together in high spirits, each one incredibly excited.
The advancement of the Three Flavors Divine Flame allowed each of the three to advance to a higher realm.
Just as the three were rejoicing, suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from them, accompanied by a loud laugh:
"Haha, I've actually advanced to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng!"
"Ah, it's Grandpa Firefury! Grandpa Firefury has also improved!" Fire Spirit covered her mouth, looking extremely surprised.
Huo Zhi brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said, "Doesn't that mean the clan leader..."
Before he could finish speaking, another aura of a nine-star Dou Sheng rose up, and there was no doubt that it could only be their clan leader, Yan Jin.
"It seems to be thanks to that senior." Huo Xuan said with a smile.
As Yan Jin felt his own power surge, his hands trembled uncontrollably: "A nine-star Dou Sheng, I would have needed at least another ten or twenty years, but I didn't expect it to be like this now."
"My strange fire, my strange fire, my strange fire!" Elder Huo Yao muttered to himself blankly.
"I really hope to get to the Empire soon. I wonder what the Alchemist Guild in the Empire is like." A young man rode a demonic wolf through a mountain range.
"We'll go to the nearest city later, where we can take a magical beast that flies directly to the capital." An old man lay lazily on another magical wolf.
The demonic wolf was moving forward rapidly, while the old man remained completely still on its back, which was truly astonishing.
These two people were none other than Xiao Yan and Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. Xiao Yan nodded and then said nothing more.
After the events of that day, Xiao Yan wanted to leave the Tagor Desert, but he encountered the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong once again.
Finally, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao joined forces to remove the seal on Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, restoring him to the level of a two-star Dou Huang. What Hai Bodong paid in return was the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map.
Subsequently, Xiao Yan used the Rejuvenating Purple Pill to lure Hai Bodong into being his free henchman for a year. And so, he took his free henchman to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
As for Yao Lao, since Hai Bodong was unaware of this, he could only hide within Xiao Yan's body.
Several hours later, just as Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong were about to stop and hunt a magical beast to fill their stomachs, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
Lin Qing smiled and said softly, "Little Yanzi."
Xiao Yan, who had just dismounted from the demonic wolf, was stunned by the shout and hadn't even processed what was happening yet.
"Who goes there?" Hai Bodong, who had been squinting and looking languid, suddenly felt a drop in temperature. He flipped over and jumped in front of Xiao Yan, reaching out to protect him.
Lin Qing smiled faintly and said, "Oh? A five-star Dou Huang?"
Suddenly, a phantom appeared beside Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao's figure materialized, saying:
"Senior, this is Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, who was one of the top ten strongest people in the former Jia Ma Empire. For some reason, he has now become this kid's free henchman."
"Huh? And who are you?" Upon seeing another person appear, Hai Bodong was immediately alarmed and hurriedly pulled Xiao Yan to retreat.
"Hey, Elder Hai, Elder Hai, wait a minute. This is my master, Lin Qing, and this is my teacher. They're all on our side."
Xiao Yan broke free from Hai Bodong's grasp and then began to explain to him.
"Your master? Your teacher?" Hai Bodong looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked.
"Indeed, I was the one who refined your pills," the old medicine master said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Hai Bodong pondered and said, "Sure enough, I was wondering how this guy could have such superb alchemy skills. Also, his strength... could it be you?"
The old doctor nodded, smiling without saying a word. Xiao Yan quickly ran to Lin Qing's side, his face beaming with excitement, and said:
