But Shan Chengfeng was in the dark about what Li had in mind. Li's permission already delighted him to the brim, it was a sure thing that Lin Xiao was at the mercy of him.
Having had Li's word, Shan cracked a joke to thank him and hastened to remind him, "Let's get cracking! Suzerain Li, may I trespass on you by asking you to get the Spiritual Treasure?"
The moment Li Taixuan was about to use the Spiritual Treasure, Lin Xiao, who had sitting cross-legged in the Underworld Palace, rose, revealing his startling changes in appearance.
He had shrunk loads—his physique, which used to be slim, now resembled an eight-year-old boy. His body, albeit like a mere bag of bones, was amazingly glittering and transparent, with a stream of ineffably unusual liquid flowing within and sparkles darting from his eyes.
Lin Xiao looked at his clenched fists, fairly composed, and punched at the wall following a soft shout. The wall got penetrated with a clangor, through which the multi-colored spiritual flames flooded out and engulfed Lin Xiao's tiny body right away.
That was not a single flash of fire but the genuine spiritual flames shrouded by Xuan Yu the Great Emperor.
Once unsealed, the almighty spiritual flames surged out, swallowing up Lin Xiao and burnt the other three walls into ashes, which used to be impervious to Lin Xiao's all-out attacks. And the scale of the burning expanded into thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
Nevertheless, Lin Xiao's crown remained surprisingly intact after the catastrophic event. The spiritual flames albeit unstoppable with its turbulent momentum failed to break through the above underworld palace, which was suffused with faint glows.
And Lin Xiao also made it even if he was situated right at the center of the flames.
Lin had managed to tame part of the spiritual flames and mingle them with his blood and bones, which reinforced his physical strength so much that his body became incredibly toned. But he had unbearable causalgia acting up in his body, as the flames were literally grilling his flesh and generating a kebab-like smell permeating the whole sealed cubicle.
The spiritual flames were unusually hot that one was unable to tell the exact temperature of it. Li Xiao felt as if his blood, flesh, and bones had been drying up, and his body bursting apart.
But he couldn't slack off, so he started the operation of the Bible of Gods and Devils at full capacity. Right then a lump of cloudy liquid began to circulate on the default path.
A few moments later, Lin's muscles, skin, sinews, skin, and bones burst into resonance with a fantastic boom. At one moment it resembled the holy hymn, at another, it was literally like a ghastly demon's roar.
As it went on, Lin Xiao's body started to give off a light, with a thin coat of the multi-colored spiritual flames encircling him. And he emerged from cinders after the burnt flesh flaked off, with his body plimming gradually.
The multi-colored spiritual flames overflowed nonstop from deep down in the unfathomable strata, clustering around Lin Xiao, who sat motionlessly like a mountain, quenching his body with the flames. It was highly likely no one would fall for the indescribable fantasy-like scene if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, but Lin Xiao not only stayed intact but also endured the tormenting process, giving off thunder-like sounds in the area while constantly inhaled and exhaled.
After a while, Lin Xiao had a soft shout, clapped his hands, stretched his limbs, and strode among the spiritual flames, impressively poised.
His body was effortlessly coated with a layer of subtle radiance, which was a result of an automatic self-defense mechanism generated by the accomplishment of ultimate cultivation.
His body has upgraded to the extent of an upper-space gale!
The heresy-like scene was so world-shaking that Xuan Yu the Great Emperor would strike sail on seeing it if he raised from the dead, let alone the whole Fire Meteorolite Continent.
Now Lin Xiao's body could perfectly equal that of an ancient Dizun.
