Chapter 53 - 53: Spirit Fusion(2)

Warm and tender, but no heat, of spirit energy travelled through in and out of Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao's bodies via their hand palms.

The two teen's bodies seem to released some kind of majestic and ancient auras. Their spirit power circulated around each other, seemingly making a change of their said spirit energies.

Xiao Yan's spirit power, that had colors green with tints of red and silver, is circulating around in his body and smoothly travelled towards Ma Xiaotao's, mixing his spirit power with the latter.

Vice versa, Ma Xiaotao's darkish-purple red colored spirit power had moved to meet with Xiao Yan's and mixed along with it.

Their spirit powers seemed to moved from one to the other smoothly and easily. Like there wasn't any kind of blocks to stopped the flowing of spirit energies.

The two teens, who both only wanted to make a small investigation of their spirit harmonization, had unknowingly started to dual cultivate, not the s.e.x.u.a.l kind of course.

Flame Emperor's spirit form was stationed behind Xiao Yan, floating cross-legged with his right elbow on his right t.h.i.g.h. His right on his face as he blankly stared at the duo cultivating with one another.

Suddenly a small wisp of red started to appear out of Xiao Yan's body and that wisp turned into a big fog of red. That then transformation into the humanoid Igneel, who was staring at the latter and Ma Xiaotao with a lowered jaw and expression of disbelief.

"You've got to be bullshitting me."

Flame Emperor merely glanced at Igneel and said.

"Story of my life."

Igneel's face twitched as he looked at Flame Emperor before looking back towards Xiao Yan.

"I know my descendant is your newest reincarnation and is slowly assimilating with your memories, experiences and fate as a God King but isn't this just bull? I can get someone being a monstrous genius if he/she had the previous life of a God King but said genius has a hundred percent of spirit harmonization with another totally opposing spirit? What the f.u.c.k kind of logic is this?!"

Igneel walked around Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao in circles, trying to figure out reason behind the two's impossibility.

"There might be some miracle that some people with dragon and phoenix spirits would be able to have a spirit fusion and a small chance with a high level of spirit harmonization, but a hundred percent and perfect fusion ability? If someone were to tell me that, I would have smacked their faces and call them crazy!" Igneel's face scrutinized his face as he really couldn't figure out what was going on between the cultivating duo.

Giving up, the humanoid dragon turned towards Flame Emperor and asked.

"I suppose you know what's going on?"

Flame Emperor stayed quiet as he watched over Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao. His eyes showing hidden sadness, pain and nostalgia.

Sighing, Flame Emperor said.

"Do you know what is a blessing?"

Igneel raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, is it about a guy asking his mate's hand in marriage from the latter's parents?"

"No." Flame Emperor's deadpanned expression already told the dragon king that it was really not.

"Alright, so is it about someone with great power giving someone else a portion of their power?"

Flame Emperor nodded and said.

"Yes, that kind of a blessing. A transfer ability that transfers the user's portion of power, skill, bloodline, or just about anything related to their power, to someone else."

"It's just like any of those simple and basic transfer abilities but a blessing is something else, the power that you are blessed with will be imprinted to their soul."

Igneel widened his eyes as he realized what Flame Emperor is talking about, and said.

"You have received a blessing in your life, so the blessings you received in the past is still with you. Despite being a remnant of the original, you still hold partial of the powers and blessings the original has."

"Xiao Yan is assimilating with your soul, he didn't only received your memories and experiences, so that means..."

"Xiao Yan has one of the many blessings that I have, yes." Flame Emperor nodded.

Igneel widened his eyes in shock, as that means Flame Emperor had been blessed with ability to make a Dragon and Phoenix cooperate with one another? He thought in disbelief before shaking his head, as he accounted it as one of the many perks of a powerful God King.

A small smile appeared on Flame Emperor's face, saying.

"Beloved by Dragons and Phoenixes... a blessing from a certain friend of mine."

Minutes and hours passed as Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao continued to unknowingly cultivate with one another.

During this moment of cultivation, Ma Xiaotao had unexpectedly brokethrough to the 36 spirit rank! While Xiao Yan's spirit power, although he couldn't brokethrough due to the handicap of being at the 30th rank, was getting denser and sturdier.

Sometime later, Xiao Yan's eyes slowly opened, showing confusion. Before his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Ma Xiaotao and himself, sending and revolving spirit power to each other.

Calming himself, Xiao Yan focused his spirit power and concentrated in continuing to circulate his energy with Ma Xiaotao. While he separated a small conscious thought of his to create a astral projection to speak to a certain someone who might know of what was going on.

"Yo Flame Emperor!" Xiao Yan's astral projection yelled out within his mindscape, a replica of what a tropical island looks and feels like.

Right now, Xiao Yan was standing on the shores of the island. The ocean waves could be heard coming to hit his feet and back to the ocean.

Two flame teleportations, white and red differently, which out came Flame Emperor and Igneel respectively.

Taking a sit on the offered chair, Xiao Yan asked.

"What's going on?"

Flame Emperor and Igneel, who both also took a seat, looked at each other. Their eyes debating on who would be the one to explain.

Flame Emperor sighed, as he decided he would do it.

And so, Flame Emperor told Xiao Yan of what was going on with his body.

Suffice to say, Xiao Yan was twitching his eyebrows and mouth.

"So basically, it was due to the will of the heavens?" 'Plot armor?' Xiao Yan said to Flame Emperor, communicating the hidden message with his eyes.

"Yes." Flame Emperor nodded, completely understanding the hidden message, and agreed.

"What...?" While Igneel looked at Xiao Yan and Flame Emperor in confusion.

"My luck is just complete bullshit."

"Yup." The two former godly beings simultaneously agreed.

Flame Emperor's expression suddenly turned serious and said.

"Xiao Yan, go back to your physical body. The evil fire within Ma Xiaotao is starting to act up, and it's not the way it was supposed to. Ready to use both of your heavenly flames."

Xiao Yan grimaced and nodded in agreement.

Disappearing into a mist, Xiao Yan's astral projection went back towards his physical body.

Back to the real world. Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao are still silently circulating their spirit power with each other.

All looked calm but Ma Xiaotao suddenly turned pale and her body temperature started to rise abnormally!

The heat coming out of her was so great, that the walls and some of the rocks around them started to melt.

"AHHHHH!!" The moment she yelled however, was the moment dark and purple flames started to appear around her. It suddenly started to morphed and taken the form of a gigantic demonic phoenix, it's height reaching the ceiling and a wingspan that covered the entire cave, it's feathers are of dark-purple color and its eyes are that of blood.

It narrowed it's eyes and opened it's gigantic beak, letting out a terrifying screech that shook the entire cave.

It's screech could be heard outside, causing the surrounding spirit beasts and animals outside to passed out from the spirit power and mind attributed the shriek it carried.

The hidden expert was shocked at what he had heard. His eyes narrowed and facial expression turned serious, although you couldn't see it due to the hoodie hiding his features.

'What the f.u.c.k was that?! That screech had the power to even make a spirit king passed out!' He thought. He activated his spirit, Ice Dragon, showing his spirit rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black and black. Eight optimal spirit rings! The hidden expert is a Spirit Douluo!

The man, with the speed unseen by a mortal's n.a.k.e.d eyes, jumped tree by tree. His feet had momentarily touched the tree before jumping to the other, though, the place where his feet touched the tree ice completely covered it.

Arriving the entrance of the cave, the mysterious man was just about to enter when his mind suddenly turned blank and his eyesight blackened.

"Tsk, tsk. Nope. Sorry old friend, but you can't bother my future self there." Behind the unconscious man was Flame Emperor, who was wagging his finger like a parent being disappointed at a child.

Despite being a remnant soul of his original, he still had the spiritual power equaling a God Officer. Knocking a Spirit Douluo down is just too easy.

'This is, after all, his moment.' Flame Emperor thought.

Within the cave, the demonic phoenix continued to screeched crazily.

It was the Evil Fire! It had finally shown itself and started to rampage within Ma Xiaotao's body, trying to take over her body and mind!

In another time and place, the demonic flame would have succeeded and took over Ma Xiaotao. She would have became a very powerful but broken evil spirit master, that would cause death and destruction everywhere she goes.

But, unfortunately for the Evil Fire, that would be in another time and place.

Because...

Hundreds of bloomed green lotus flames at the size of a human a.d.u.l.t head started to appear, filling the entire cave in a green bright light, completely surrounding the demonic being.

The Evil Fire Phoenix noticed the sudden emergence of the lotuses. It's eyes lit up in a bloodthirsty and crazy manner. Like a predator that found it's prey.

It is commonly know that heavenly flames are made out of large amounts of spirit energy, making it food and a chance of getting stronger to a being such as the Evil Fire.

Sadly for it, it didn't have the intelligence nor wisdom like a real phoenix. Otherwise, it would have already flown away in fear.

Why? Because heavenly flames, are kings of all flames.

"ROOOAAARRRR!!" Suddenly, appearing behind Xiao Yan, a dragon, equaling the size if not bigger than the demonic phoenix, constructed out of red flames and lightning let out a powerful roar.

Although surprised, it just made the demonic phoenix construct to screeched in defiance.

As the two legendary beasts continue to roar and shriek at each other, the surrounding rocks started to shake uncontrollably. If this goes on, there would be a caved in. Burying Xiao Yan and Ma Xiaotao alive.

As the surrounding structures started to formed cracks, Xiao Yan's voice was heard.

"Shut up you overgrown rip-off." Xiao Yan's eyes opened, showing black eyes that lit up in a green and red flames.

Dozens of the green bloomed lotuses started to explode, and out came were green flaming chain constructs. Wrapping themselves at the demonic phoenix tightly.

The demonic bird rip-off obviously didn't liked that. It opened it's beak and once more to let out a terrifying screech, but Xiao Yan controlled two green chain constructs to bind its beak as well.

"Causing trouble for me and my senior, well, let me remind you why a dragon is something you don't wanna messed with."

Suddenly, two green construct arms appeared behind Xiao Yan's shoulders. The two constructs raised their hands up and bended their elbows for a praying hands position.

The hundreds of green lotuses moved and converged beneath the dragon construct behind Xiao Yan.

The hundreds of green lotuses had formed a single green gigantic bloomed lotus, with a gigantic dragon made out of red flames and white lightning.

Xiao Yan's sclera turned emerald and his pupils turned into red slits, his pair of eyes crackled with the power of lightning. His teeth turned jagged and his skin turned into darkish-red scales.

Xiao Yan's eyes met the fear and angered filled eyes of the demonic Evil Fire Phoenix.

Xiao Yan said,

"Variant version, Dragonic Purifying Flame Lotus."

"ROOOAAARRRR!" After he said that, the dragon with a green lotus beneath it, leapt from behind Xiao Yan with a roar and attacked the Evil Fire construct.

The demonic phoenix screeched as the dragon construct bit into its neck, devouring the flames and evil qi from it. The green lotus beneath the dragon, was acting as a storage for the devoured evil qi, purifying it within.

The phoenix would have retaliated, if it weren't for chains restricting it!

Because of that, it wasn't long until the dragon had completely devoured the phoenix.

Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief. This situation was something he did not expect!

'To think that evil fire had grown a limited amount of conscious. Thankfully it hadn't grown it's instincts, or it would have retreated back inside senior Ma Xiaotao's body. It would have made the situation worse if it did.' Xiao Yan thought as he held the body of the unconscious Ma Xiaotao within his arms.

Some time ago when that demonic phoenix, constructed out of the Evil Fire, appeared. Ma Xiaotao had fallen unconscious and fell forward.

Xiao Yan had thankfully caught Ma Xiaotao, while also maintaining his connection with her. That was the reason why he had to create the pair of arms constructs.

Xiao Yan needed a medium so he can control those dragon and lotus constructs. Hence the constructed arms. Normally he would have used his own two hands but those were sorta busy, and no it had nothing to do with doing anything l.e.w.d. Nope.

Deactivating his dragonification, Xiao Yan took a deep breath to calm himself. His spirit power and spiritual power are both almost empty from flame constructs he pulled.

Xiao Yan would have used the devoured and now purified evil fire, but he knew that fire wasn't for his own.

Looking down at the unconscious face of Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Yan bit down his lips.

Xiao Yan could still feel the evil fire plaguing Ma Xiaotao's body. The evil fire that he purified was just the most malevolent and dense parts of it that wanted to rampage.

But what remained are of the most powerful and unpurified evil fire assimilated within her spirit power, spiritual power and body. Acting just like a parasite. If Xiao Yan we're to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y purify it, it would immediately act to kill its host Ma Xiaotao.

Until Xiao Yan could either reached Spirit Saint, have another heavenly flame with the attribute of ice, concocting a tier 7-8 pill or have a immortal herb, the Evil Fire would remained within Ma Xiaotao.

All he could do now, was just delay the process.
