Chapter 709: Chapter 212: A Brilliant Move Reaps All the Benefits, Advancing to Third Grade

The intense fire, scorching like a tide, engulfed Li Yuan.

It surged into every pore, every orifice of his body, and flowed out from another direction.

His entire being nearly lost its form and transformed into a radiant silhouette.

The copper bell in his hand had long since melted into liquid and no longer sounded. His clothes and trousers had been burned to ashes. His flawless skin and robust flesh were continuously washed and scoured in this vast sea of withered fire.

If there was no fire within him, he might have already been reduced to ashes at this moment, only to wait for the drop of blood from Lady Yan to slowly resurrect him.

Yet even with the fire, he was immensely uncomfortable.

This Yang Qi was overwhelmingly domineering.

This is the Yang Qi that extended from the Eternal Night.

Li Yuan had seen that the boundary of Eternal Night had actually expanded outward by dozens of miles, even submerging some of the original small villages. This was thanks to the Tang Sect and the Barbarian Race who had been constantly monitoring the movement of the boundary line and relocated the villagers in advance.

As for further beyond, it was completely uncontrollable.

Expanding out by dozens of miles may not sound like much, but it’s only the depth, and the width is immeasurable.

The west is a direction, and its width actually encompassed the "Cloud Mountain Path," "Mianzhou Path," "Hanzhou Path," "Hidden Dragon Path," "Desolate South Path," "Arctic Wilderness," and the "Antarctic Rainforest."

But the area covered by this expansion scared many.

Each extent resembled a jagged sawtooth, uneven in depth, countless in number.

These places became Eternal Night, and the Yang Qi was accumulated into the nine flames of the Nine Flames Clan.

Li Yuan was now extracting one of those flames.

Fire also has its limits.

His original flame had reached its initial limit, and now... he was undergoing a breakthrough that even he did not comprehend.

The fire was cleansing his body.

Blood and flesh, internal organs, Shadow Bone, everything...

The physical reality of the human body, all constructed based on Yang Qi, and under the impact of these flames, his body appeared to fade in and out, as if it would be annihilated and perish in this fire.

Time passed...

This ritualistic blessing had persisted for over a month.

Meng Xingxian received news almost daily from the White Deer Clan.

She had countless connections with the Divine Tomb, naturally knowing that the Old Barbarian King had merged with the fire.

But precisely because of this, the Old Barbarian King, like her man, was actually short-lived.

Meng Xingxian suddenly realized.

This was a "hero’s end" celebration.

The Old Barbarian King was embracing a fiercer fire, letting his people see the majesty of the Taiyang Goddess’s eldest son;

The Old Barbarian King was also choosing his own way of farewell. His hair had turned white, but he was unwilling to die in mediocrity, unwilling to suffer the helplessness and frailty before death, so he preferred to end his life in the light and heat of the fire, in wild dancing and singing, proclaiming to the world the glory of his life, Zhenyan Yuan;

The Old Barbarian King was also telling her that he was gone, his people posed no threat anymore, and his death was always praying for her child, the implication was self-evident.

"Better to die singing in the fire than to live cowardly in the Human World."

"Enough, father-in-law, I, Meng Xingxian, accept your favor."

"Only... it seems there are still great variables existing."

This ambitious, mysterious Wolf Mother from Kabulor, Sea of Silence, gently closed her eyes, recalling her father-in-law’s life, she could not help but sigh.

No one could deny that the Old Barbarian King was a true hero. It was he who united the Nine Flames Clan with iron and blood, and cunningly seized the Divine Tomb, forcing her to emerge from the Sea of Silence.

And now, was the Old Barbarian King exchanging his death for true peace with her?

At this moment, Meng Xingxian gently caressed the infant boy in her arms, saying, "The people of the Zhenyan Family are all heroes, and you must also become a hero."

As she spoke, the light in her eyes became increasingly somber, flickering with an indescribable cold light.

Suddenly, she called out, "Xiaoyan!"

Outside the door, her trusted maid quickly entered, respectfully saying, "Barbarian Queen, please give your orders."

Meng Xingxian said, "Watch over the White Deer Clan for me."

After saying this, she added, "If the Old Barbarian King dies... inform me immediately."

"Yes."

The maid responded and was about to leave when a voice immediately followed from behind, "Summon General Chenmu Tie to see me."

Chenmu Tie, a trusted confidant of the Barbarian King, was also loyal to her.

In a moment, Chenmu Tie entered.

Meng Xingxian calmly said, "Is the General’s Wolf Riders ready?"

Without hesitation, Chenmu Tie responded, "Yes, Barbarian Queen’s orders, I dare not disobey."

He then asked, "Should we inform the Barbarian King? And who is the enemy?"

Meng Xingxian said, "The Barbarian King is at a critical moment, so there’s no need to inform him. As for the enemy..."

She lightly chuckled and said, "You swore an oath to attack anyone my sword pointed at, as this is the common will of me and the Barbarian King."

Chenmu Tie bowed his head and said, "No matter who the enemy is, where your sword points is where my Wolf Riders will charge!"

Meng Xingxian said, "You may leave."

Chenmu Tie retreated.

Meng Xingxian slightly raised her head,

...

...

In the blink of an eye, more than another month had passed.

Meng Xingxian was sitting in the Golden Tent, smiling as she watched the child, not even half a year old, who was already walking.

To be fair, the best seed should have been from the Old Barbarian King.

If the Old Barbarian King wished, he could have produced many at the "Born Saint King" level.

Unfortunately, the Old Barbarian King produced only one.

Originally, she was worried her son would be weak, but now it seemed the existence of "Withered Fire" compensated for this.
