In terms of the strength of the soul, soul power and realm are two completely separate variables.
For many people, cultivation level is their biggest constraint, but for many people with special, extraordinary talents, it is their soul power that is even more difficult to increase.
Just like
Given the speed at which Ye Chen has improved his soul realm, Xuan Kongzi wouldn't be too surprised if he could easily catch up with him in the future.
However, the soul power he had accumulated over hundreds of years was something Ye Chen could not catch up with in just over a decade.
Forget about using rare and precious materials to increase soul value. As someone who rose from the Pill Tower to become a giant from childhood, Xuan Kongzi has consumed far more rare and precious materials to increase soul power than Ye Chen has ever seen. Therefore, in this respect, the latter has no advantage, but rather a disadvantage...
But now, all of this has suddenly overturned Xuan Kongzi's understanding.
It's just a ninth-ranked strange fire, how could it cause such a drastic change in a person's soul realm?
"Could it be that the Three Thousand Burning Flames have some terrifying ability to enhance soul power that I am unaware of?"
But this doesn't make any sense at all...
The Ranking of Strange Flames contains a total of twenty-three different kinds of strange flames. Apart from the top three, the others have already been studied extensively, and the characteristics of each flame are clearly recorded.
However, according to Xuan Kongzi's own understanding, among these twenty-three different flames, neither the third-ranked Pure Lotus Demon Flame nor the twenty-third-ranked Xuanhuang Flame is specifically designed to enhance the soul...
"Even if Ye Chen completely absorbed the fire spirit of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, he still wouldn't reach this level..."
This is Xuan Kongzi's judgment!
"call……"
He slowly exhaled, having calmed his emotions.
He shook his head with a wry smile, muttering to himself, "As expected of someone so highly regarded by the Ancestor, his future achievements will surely surpass mine, his teacher, with ease. Perhaps, our Pill Tower will once again welcome a genius who can reach the level of the first Ancestor..."
The first person to give Danta this hope was named Yao Chen!
Although it was a pity that the other party rejected the Pill Tower, they did not disappoint the people of the Pill Tower and grew all the way to become the number one alchemist in the Central Continent...
If Yao Chen hadn't met with misfortune in the end, his reputation would probably be far superior to that of the Pill Tower by now.
After letting out another regretful sigh, Xuan Kongzi banished these random thoughts from his mind and then stared intently at Ye Chen, who stood there with his eyes closed...
After experiencing his terrifying soul power, Ye Chen didn't make any further substantial attempts.
Based solely on his own understanding, he estimated his current strength...
With his three basic attributes of essence, qi, and spirit all exceeding 1,000, even without the enhancement of battle qi, his physical strength alone is already comparable to that of a Dou Zun powerhouse.
If we really have to make a comparison, then Ye Chen now, relying solely on his physical strength, can go toe-to-toe with Queen Medusa, who is already a high-level Dou Zong...
Don't forget, the current Medusa Queen's bloodline is the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, known for its heaven-reaching power!
In other words, Ye Chen now can be described as a humanoid ferocious beast! Moreover, he possesses a top-tier bloodline comparable to that of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Seven-Colored Devouring Python...
"If I were to run into that idiot Xiong Zhan again right now, I'd definitely have a real, visceral fight with him!"
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly realized that it wasn't that he disliked passion and excitement, but rather that he had been too weak before and, for the sake of his own life, he hadn't dared to act so passionately...
The person I am now is the most perfect version of myself, and also the strongest version of myself!
Chapter 272 ends, Dou Zun!
Within the star field, Xuan Kongzi patiently awaited the awakening of his disciple.
Looking at Ye Chen again at this moment, Xuan Kongzi actually felt that the other party had undergone a complete transformation...
This is not simply due to the transformation and enhancement of his soul power, but also to the terrifying improvement in Ye Chen's physical body!
At this moment, in Xuan Kongzi's eyes, his disciple was no longer human; he was practically a humanoid beast...
However, after the incident with the soul power, Xuan Kongzi felt that his heart was already incredibly strong. Even if his disciple directly became a saint on the spot... well, he might be shocked for a moment, but nothing could shake his resilient heart.
What he didn't expect was that the absorption of the flame energy within the star field, which had stopped after the Three Thousand Burning Flames were extinguished, suddenly resumed, and the absorption speed was even no less than that of the Three Thousand Burning Flames before...
"Roar!"
A massive fire dragon, tens of meters long, burst forth from above Ye Chen's head. Amidst the purplish-brown flames that hovered in the void, a huge section of its fiery body completely enveloped Ye Chen's figure. Then, it raised its enormous head, opened its massive mouth, and let out a deafening roar that resounded through the air!
"boom!"
As this roar resounded, the previously calm purplish-black flames throughout the star field suddenly erupted into a frenzy. Moreover, as if drawn by a strange force, they condensed into pillars of purplish-black fire, continuously surging towards the giant mouth of the fire dragon that occupied the void.
Xuan Kongzi watched this scene and understood Ye Chen's purpose after a moment's thought.
"Is this an attempt to directly break through to the Dou Zun realm?"
That's not entirely impossible...
If Ye Chen's inability to withstand the terrifying Dou Qi of the Dou Zun level was due to his poor physique before, then now, that's not a problem at all.
Moreover, with the support of many factors, this breakthrough can be said to be 100% successful.
With that in mind, Xuan Kongzi stopped worrying and silently protected his disciple to prevent any further accidents.
Meanwhile, the purplish-black dragon above Ye Chen's head...
As more and more purplish-black flames were devoured by the dragon, the purplish-black color on its body became increasingly deep, and the dragon scales began to become lifelike, approaching the size of the previous ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon.
"Roar!"
There were simply too many purplish-black flames within the star field. Even after being absorbed by the Three Thousand Burning Flames and now being desperately devoured by Ye Chen controlling the giant dragon...
However, it still failed to reduce the area of this sea of fire that filled the star field by much. These flames were formed by the Three Thousand Burning Flames absorbing the power of stars for countless years. Ye Chen in his current state definitely couldn't absorb them all.
After the dragon devoured enough purplish-black flames, it showed a satisfied expression. Its originally enormous body gradually shrank, and finally turned into a wisp of purplish-brown flame, which rushed into Ye Chen's crown chakra.
It can no longer be called the Three Thousand Burning Flames, because it has been fused with Ye Chen's own starfire, making its power even more significantly enhanced...
According to Ye Chen's guess, the power of the Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire he had fused with was probably already greater than that of the eighth-ranked Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and it was even comparable to the seventh-ranked Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire.
Most importantly, the merged Three Thousand Starry Sky Flames also inherited the characteristic of starfire that can grow. As Ye Chen's strength increases and the number of star souls lit up by the Star Essence Diagram increases, the Three Thousand Starry Sky Flames will definitely continue to grow as well, and perhaps in the future it will even break into the top three...
The dragon entered his body, and Ye Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
& nbs
At that very instant, a vast aura suddenly erupted from Ye Chen's body...
Like a howling storm, it instantly extinguished the surrounding purplish-black flames, and even created a vacuum zone a thousand meters wide around it.
Ye Chen stretched lazily, and his skin began to twitch. His bones, like a complex machine that had been activated, emitted a series of crisp sounds of rubbing and colliding.
"call……"
Feeling the comfort spreading through his body, Ye Chen exhaled a breath of slightly hot air down his throat.
"The Battle Master..."
Ye Chen clenched his fist slightly, feeling the vast, ocean-like battle qi within his body, and couldn't help but become somewhat fascinated...
No wonder countless people in this world are chasing this power. It is because this power has a crazy allure, and countless people are willing to risk their entire lives for it!
Ye Chen looked at his palm, then stretched it out horizontally, and suddenly clenched it...
The space in front of him was suddenly twisted into a strange depression by this grip. If this grip were applied to a human body, even a Dou Zong expert would probably have his body shattered into a pool of flesh and blood on the spot.
A faint smile couldn't help but appear on Ye Chen's face.
Although he never thought he couldn't reach that level, he never imagined it would be now...
Ultimately, we should thank the Three Thousand Burning Flames.
"Oh right, I haven't added any yet..."
The star chart evolved from the Three Thousand Blazing Flames provided such a significant boost that Ye Chen overlooked the improvement gained from adding points...
He has already far surpassed his current level in all aspects, so Ye Chen did not think too much and directly added all the star essence to the Dragon Head Star Domain.
Name: Ye Chen
Realm: One-Star Dou Zun
Star Essence: 200 (10 points can be absorbed each time)
Star Soul: 9 points (Note: Special hidden Star Soul, primary Fire, secondary Wood.)

星域图，龙首星域（内含16位星宫，已点亮9位星宫）、左前龙爪（内含11位星宫）、右前龙爪（内含11位星宫）、左后龙爪（内含11位星宫）、右后龙爪（内含11位星宫）、龙尾（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·前（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·中（内含12位星宫）、龙脊·后（内含12位星宫）
Star Domain Skill: None
Star Orbit Skill: Dragon Devour, Earth Rank Intermediate (can be upgraded), after casting, it can summon an angry dragon head, which will devour everything it touches.
When star fields and star tracks are connected, star track skills can be generated; when the same star field is fully upgraded, star field skills can be obtained.
The bonus is still terrifying!
However, what gave Ye Chen a headache was that the Star Chart evolved from the Three Thousand Burning Flames contained more star domains and the number of star palaces had almost doubled compared to before. This meant that he needed a massive amount of star power to condense more star essence.
Of course, what pleased him was that his absorption speed of star power had increased several times again. If each absorption could convert into ten points of star essence, it seemed that it wouldn't take too long to max out a star field...
Chapter 273 Amazing
"teacher!"
Having finished everything, Ye Chen walked to Xuan Kongzi's side and said with a smile.
Xuan Kongzi, however, exclaimed with a look of amazement, "You little rascal, you really are quite unexpected..."
He didn't ask Ye Chen how he subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flames; he was simply shocked and amazed by Ye Chen's growth.
"A soul at the peak of the Spirit Realm... perhaps you, little fellow, will reach the Heavenly Realm faster than your teacher..."
These are Xuan Kongzi's true feelings.
After all, judging from what happened to his disciple, he was definitely a person with great fortune, and such a person could not be judged by ordinary standards.
He had cultivated diligently for hundreds of years, yet he was still bound by this threshold. But he never expected that just by taking on a disciple, she would show such a terrifying rate of growth. Perhaps he could personally cultivate a "Number One Alchemist in Central Plains"...
Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so bad.
Glancing at the still raging purplish-black flames around them, Xuan Kongzi said, "Alright, let's go. For now, no one can enter this star field. But after you subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, this star field will be of little use..."
The purpose of the star field was to seal the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Now that the Three Thousand Burning Flames are gone, the star field has lost its purpose.
Ye Chen glanced at the flame-filled space, pondered for a moment, and said, "Teacher, if possible, I would like to use this place as my training ground..."
These purplish-black flames will not go out until the star power in the entire space is exhausted. They may be a threat to others, but for Ye Chen, they are an excellent place for cultivation.
Xuan Kongzi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and laughed, "Of course. I'll teach you how to enter and exit this star field in a moment, and then this star field will be your private property. However, at the rate at which these flames are consumed, the star power of this star field will be exhausted in three years at most."
Moreover, due to the previous eruption of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the strength of this space has been greatly reduced. If it is not maintained with great effort, it will collapse in a very short time..."
Ye Chen nodded; he knew that too.
However, he was just a little reluctant to let all this rich star power and fire energy go to waste; he figured he'd absorb as much as he could later…
Afterwards, Xuan Kongzi taught Ye Chen the method for entering and leaving the star field and then left.
As for Ye Chen, he began to focus all his efforts on refining and absorbing all the surrounding purplish-black flames...
These flames were originally generated from the star power absorbed and fused by the Three Thousand Burning Flames over countless years. After Ye Chen completely subdued and fused with the Three Thousand Burning Flames, absorbing them naturally became twice as effective.
Ye Chen originally thought that he would need to seclude himself here for at least a year to completely refine these flames, but after he actually started cultivating, he realized that he had underestimated the terrifying bonus that the perfect star chart brought him!
Reaching 1,300 points in "Qi" attribute allowed his body to absorb energy at an exceptionally terrifying speed...
In just three months, he had absorbed and refined all the flames in the entire star field, and his own realm had been completely stabilized at the peak of the One-Star Dou Zun.
"
Sigh, nearly 99% of our strength was wasted...
Just think about the form of the ten-thousand-foot-tall dragon of the Three Thousand Burning Flames before, that was such a massive amount of energy!
Unfortunately, these energies completely collapsed when the primordial fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the fire spirit entered his body simultaneously, and then merged back into this world...
After absorbing all the fire energy in this star field, Ye Chen once again transformed all the participating starlight into his own star essence, thus squeezing out every last bit of value from this place.
With nearly three hundred points of star essence, plus what he had left over, he finally lit up the tenth star palace in the Dragon Head Star Region...
