Chapter 495: Chapter 167: Yang Realm! Manifesting Divine Power Before All, Worshiping Fire Is Worshiping Me!

In front of the Black Market Ghost Realm...

Li Yuan’s feelings at this moment could be described as "mysterious".

He seemed to have mastered some kind of power, yet he didn’t quite understand what this power was.

Just like human existence; clearly able to speak and think, yet ignorant about the mysteries of life.

In front of the Black Market Ghost Realm, he completely ignored his bare surroundings, merely standing up. His black hair entwined with fire, and in the desolate wind of late September, his eyes narrowed as if in contemplation.

"Hoo~~~"

Suddenly, he exhaled, and an ethereal fire spewed from his mouth, forming a vast Fire Domain in front of him, as large as a football field.

But these flames were not cohesive enough, scattered and chaotic, occasionally merging into tiny fire sparks in mid-air.

Li Yuan watched for a while and took a deep breath again, and the Fire Domain returned through his mouth and nose, leaving only scorched earth in view.

"It seems not sufficient as a domain."

"Then..."

He picked up the Cyan Snake Blade, grasped the handle with his right hand, and a surge of flame suddenly rose from the blade linked by blood.

Li Yuan gently pressed with his left hand.

Suddenly, the Sword Qi broke out of the edge, forming a Qi of more than ten meters.

Wherever the Sword Qi reached, the flames followed.

Li Yuan raised his hand...

A nearly hundred-meter-long flaming blade shot from his hand, piercing the sky, resembling a brilliant red flame pillar, extraordinarily spectacular.

However, this did not satisfy Li Yuan.

If the power cannot be released and controlled, then it is still not mastered.

I can have the fire emerge from the blade, but can I only use the simplest method to retract it?

Can’t it be further compressed back into the blade?"

"Power, is it truly such an inconvenient thing?"

"A thing containing energy, the smaller the volume, the stronger it gets.

Therefore, condensation leads to improvement."

...

While the young man was thinking, he suddenly exclaimed softly.

Because he discovered his body was still changing, or rather... the real, core change had just begun.

Besides becoming hotter and stronger, his heart and flesh began to undergo visible transformations.

Simply put... it became heavier, denser...

The Ten Blades Ancestral Talisman, or rather, the Ten-Prayer Ancestral Talisman was hanging beside, and the original clumsy strand of Extreme Yang Blood on his heart disappeared, replaced by expanding and compressing flesh. The heart size remained unchanged, but the texture became incredibly dense, likely many times heavier than the original heart...

Besides the heart, Li Yuan felt his body also becoming heavier.

Becoming heavier every second.

He did nothing, yet the soil beneath him began sinking deeply; it was as if standing on it was not a person, but an iron man, a lead man, or even a denser metal...

After a long while, this transformation came to a halt, as if it had been completed.

Li Yuan jumped gently on the spot.

Whenever he landed, the entire ground trembled.

He had become heavier.

Originally probably less than two hundred pounds, but now it already exceeded two thousand pounds, over a ton.

Yet, his physique remained unchanged, only his flesh became exceptionally dense, emitting heat, evoking in Li Yuan an inexplicable thought of... Meat Field.

He waited for a while, confirmed he wasn’t growing more flesh, then relaxed...

If turned into a human Meat Field, it would be quite humorous.

However, Yang Qi, fire, and Meat Field, surely have some connection.

Initially, Li Yuan had some judgment.

Namely:

The formation of the Ghost Realm: Earth——Taiyin——Some regions inadvertently gather enough Yin Qi——Yin Qi combined with a powerful obsession, forming a rule-bound Ghost Realm.

The formation of Meat Field: Sky——Taiyang——Yang Qi is light and dispersed, Yin Qi is heavy and cohesive; when there’s enough Yin Qi, Yang Qi is drawn and passively condenses——forming a Meat Field.

The meat in the Meat Field is "dumb meat", has no soul, not even a trace of life signs, yet remains fresh, Demon Beast Meat.

This premise itself is bizarre enough.

However, in this process, the formation of the Meat Field is entirely passive, happening entirely after the Ghost Realm, often leading to a scenario where the Ghost Realm is terrifying, yet the Meat Field remains at Eighth Grade or Seventh Grade level.

This normal lag supports Li Yuan’s perspective.

But now, the appearance of "fire" altered part of Li Yuan’s thoughts.

Precisely how remains indistinct, requiring continued introspection.

Soon, Li Yun discovered his heart... was burning.

But burning... normally consumes the energy in things, so why is it burning?

Li Yuan had long been curious about this question. Earlier, sitting by the fire at the Zhenyan Clan, he pondered it without grasping.

Now, as fire appeared on his heart, he could develop a deeper appreciation and understanding.

After a long time...

Suddenly, Li Yuan realized.

This wasn’t burning, but an... aggregation.

An aggregation of Yang Qi.

He could feel the Yang Qi from the surrounding earth aggregating at his heart, making it appear as if burning, but actually displaying Yang Qi’s boiling.

It seems like fire, but fire is merely a semblance.

On a deeper level, it’s the aggregation and pulling force.

’In other words, perhaps the fire of the Zhenyan Clan is simply a natural spectacle of heaven and earth, Yang Qi due to certain reasons aggregating at one point, just like now.’

’This Yang Qi is not produced by myself, but influenced by the surroundings.’

’If the surroundings were abundant in Yang Qi, the fire within me might blaze more intensely.’

"And if my surroundings had little Yang Qi, then... the fire within me might extinguish."
