The sudden change left Xiao Long stunned.

  "Just left like that?"

  Xiao Long looked around and finally confirmed that the person had indeed left.

  "Damn it, just came out to spout a bunch of nonsense and left without doing anything." Xiao Long cursed in frustration. He thought he might receive some kind of inheritance, but ended up with nothing. What was the point of that soul form staying here?

  Just as this thought crossed his mind.

  A light orb suddenly flew out from under the fox's corpse.

  Inside the orb were two items: a mask as thin as a cicada's wings and a cluster of white-glowing fmes.

  "There's treasure after all!"

  Xiao Long was delighted and quickly grabbed the two items.

  "Huang Mao, try this!" Xiao Long tossed the mask over.

  Huang Mao caught the mask and put it on his face. Instantly, his appearance transformed into that of a fierce-looking middle-aged man, and the brown hair on his head turned into long bck hair.

  Moreover, his aura completely changed from that of a demon beast to a human warrior, making it impossible for even the strongest experts to discern his true nature.

  "Great stuff!" Huang Mao was overjoyed, knowing well what this mask signified.

  The only downside was that while his head changed, his body and tail remained the same, still covered in furry monkey hair.

  But as long as he wore a robe, no one would notice.

  "And what is this?" Xiao Long's gaze was fixed on the cluster of fmes, lost in thought.

  The fmes were not as violent as other fmes but were very gentle, even more so than the Nether Demon Fme Xiao Long had previously subdued, without any hint of heat.

  It seemed more like a beam of light than a fme.

  "This is called Aurora Fme, the natal fire of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Its power doesn't come from heat but from light," Xiao Bai suddenly said.

  "In the Heavenly Realm, Aurora Fme is the gentlest fire, easy to devour, yet extremely powerful. The Celestial Fox race once faced a catastrophic disaster because of it." At this point, Xiao Bai's expression changed slightly, and she stopped talking.

  Xiao Long looked at her in surprise.

  Could this girl have regained her memory?

  "I only remember this much, I've forgotten the rest," Xiao Bai said with a confused look.

  Xiao Long breathed a sigh of relief, close call!

  "Who cares what kind of fme it is, as long as it's fire, I'll devour it!" Xiao Long didn't think much and swallowed it in one gulp. As the Burning Heaven Dragon Emperor, how could he fear fire?

  As Xiao Bai said, the Aurora Fme was the gentlest fire. Inside Xiao Long, it only resisted slightly before being completely subdued.

  Within the demon core, two clusters of fmes gathered, resonating with each other. One was a purple-bck poisonous fire, and the other was the Aurora Fme.

  As for its power, Xiao Long hadn't tested it yet, but judging by the feel, the Aurora Fme's power was likely countless times stronger than the mutated Nether Demon Fme!

  "Huang Mao, come over and test the power of this fme."

  Xiao Long called out.

  "No way!" Huang Mao shrank his neck, "Boss, find another target, my little arms and legs can't take it!"

  Xiao Long's gaze shifted to the fox's corpse in front of him.

  Why not test it on this corpse?

  Xiao Long took a deep breath, his throat rolled, and then a scorching beam of light shot out.

  "Hiss!"

  However, Xiao Long didn't see a scene of bzing fire.

  He only saw a small fme flicker out from his mouth, spraying less than an inch before disappearing into the air.

  "What!" Xiao Long was dumbfounded.

  Moreover, he was shocked to find that the True Qi in his body had evaporated like a tide, almost gone in an instant.

  "Brother Xiao, while the Aurora Fme is easy to control, your True Qi is too little to convert much of it," Xiao Bai muttered.

  Xiao Long suddenly realized.

  So, this move was a bottomless pit for consuming True Qi. Just a wisp of fme, less than an inch, almost exhausted his True Qi.

  It seemed he would still have to rely on the Nether Demon Fme in the future.

  He got a mask for Huang Mao and devoured an Aurora Fme himself, making this trip quite fruitful.

  At this moment, Xiao Long suddenly remembered something.

  Before Yu Huangtian dissipated, he seemed to have said a word, and Xiao Long only now recalled it was the word "escape."

  "What does escape mean?" Xiao Long wondered. Could there be some danger here?

  …………

  At this moment, outside Fire Cloud City, in the southeastern Demon Beast Mountain Range.

  In the space beyond the nine heavens, a rift suddenly opened.

  From the rift, a rge amount of dazzling light shone down, and Celestial Aura surged into the Shenzhou Continent like a tide, emitting an incredibly bright glow.

  Buzz!

  The world brightened! The sun and moon lost their light!

  This time, the descending radiance was stronger than the previous two times. Even Fire Cloud City, dozens of miles away, and Beast City, a thousand miles away, could see it clearly.

  Two figures stepped out from the rift, appearing out of thin air above the nine heavens.

  As soon as these two appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to encounter a terrifying nemesis, frantically retreating into the distance. In the blink of an eye, the area around them became a vacuum of Spiritual Qi, with not a trace remaining.

  The rift closed, and everything returned to calm.

  "Unexpectedly, Yu Huangtian's aura has appeared on the Shenzhou Continent!"

  "Didn't that old dog die? Back then, he caused me so much trouble!"

  The two stood at the edge of the void. One was a middle-aged man in purple clothing, with ordinary looks but an indescribable ancient aura. His pupils were like an endless starry sky, deep and boundless, as if one gnce would draw you in.

  The one who cursed Yu Huangtian as an "old dog" was an old woman, her body withered, face full of wrinkles, and her small eyes frequently fshing with a venomous look, a perfect image of an old shrew.

  After these two appeared, it was only a moment before invisible terrifying ripples in space began to spread towards them. The man in purple turned pale, unable to suppress a mouthful of blood that rolled up to his throat.

  "This pne has already started to reject us. We must leave within half an hour!" the man in purple said seriously.

  "Where is that old dog located? Have you found him?" the old woman asked.

  "Don't rush!" The man in purple closed his deep eyes, his spiritual sense quickly spreading out, permeating the entire Tianfeng Kingdom.

  He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils shining brightly.

  "Found him! And he's nearby!"

  The man in purple instantly vanished from his spot.

  The old woman followed, disappearing in an instant.

  "Haha! Guess what I discovered!" the man in purple ughed as he rushed forward.

  "What?" the old woman asked curiously.

  The man in purple's lips curled into a strange smile.

  "I found his daughter!"

  Upon hearing this, the old woman's murky eyes lit up, unable to contain her inner joy, she ughed heartily.

  "Haha! Heaven has eyes, let's go!"
