Chapter 207: Blaze Flower, Seven Scorching Sun Claws

It was a stalk of blaze flower, which was an extremely peculiar and rare flower . It was capable of resisting the extreme temperature of lava, and it grew through feeding on the flame energy within lava . In fact, it looked more like a pulsing clump of flame than a flower . In such an environment, it would be rather hard to separate this flower from just another clump of flame .

It had a fiery shape, and its entire body was scarlet red in color with no other colors mixed in . The most wondrous part of this flower was its petals . They spread out and closed in repeatedly, seemingly constantly absorbing the flame energy in the air . The constant movement caused the flower to look extremely lively .

This was genuinely a top-tier king medicine . It was above these petals that Yun Flame had grown previously . This flower was very beneficial for those cultivating the power of flame . It could also transform one's physique, allowing one to have a physique possessing high intimacy with all flames, increasing the speed in which one could absorb flame energy .

Apart from that, a peak King Realm cultivator could directly enter the Emperor Realm by relying on it . Thus, this flower was deadly enticing to any King Realm flame cultivators . Xiang Shaoyun came from a tier-7 sect and had seen many king medicines before . Still, it was his first time seeing a blaze flower . It was apparent how precious this flower was .

If it was blended with other king medicines into a king-grade medicinal concoction, even more people could benefit from it . A wide grin was plastered on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he stared at this stalk of blaze flower . His joy was understandable . Anyone would be overjoyed upon encountering a top-tier king medicine like this .

"Now that my astral cosmos sea has a space of 100 square meters, I can store even more items . I won't have a problem storing this blaze flower, but I don't have anything capable of storing a flower with such extreme flame power . The moment this flower leaves the lava, without proper preservation, it will start losing its medicinal power and wither away . Therefore, I need to store some lava together with the flower, allowing it to stay fresh . Only then would I be able to use it whenever I want in the future," Xiang Shaoyun muttered .

However, he was worried that his astral cosmos sea was unable to resist the temperature of the lava . What if the lava destroyed his astral cosmos sea?

After thinking about it for a bit, Xiang Shaoyun slapped his head and said, "Why am I so stupid? I have already fused with Yun Flame . I had even used a large amount of Yun Flame's energy to expand the astral cosmos sea . Therefore, the astral cosmos sea now has a considerable resistance to fire . It won't have any problem storing some lava and this blaze flower . "

Right after reaching that conclusion, Xiang Shaoyun prepared a space of 10 square meters in his astral cosmos before storing both the blaze flower and the lava around it . His conclusion was proven correct: when the blaze flower and lava entered his astral cosmos sea, he only felt a slight warmth and nothing else . His astral cosmos sea was completely unharmed .

"Hahaha, I now have the vicious tiger gold lotus and blaze flower in my possession . I won't have any trouble in the future when it's my time to advance into the Emperor Realm!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed heartily .

He would not give regular herbs his time of day, but these two herbs were precious enough to fill him with joy . Now that his cultivation level had soared straight to seventh-stage Transformation Realm, with his history of punching above his level, what would his current combat prowess be? He had the urge to leave and fight it out with a King Realm cultivator as soon as possible .

"No, I have to be patient . Although I am now equipped with the power of flame, I have yet to cultivate any flame battle techniques . I need to take some time and enrich myself with more battle techniques . In any case, Kings are capable of flight . I will be greatly disadvantaged since I can't fly . To really possess the ability to battle a King, I need to prepare accordingly," Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself after calming down .

He then emptied his mind of all emotions and sank into his cultivation once again . This time, he was not growing his cultivation level . Rather, he was cultivating battle techniques and increasing his combat prowess .

Firstly, he needed a flame battle technique . His head was filled with battle techniques of tier-4 and above . In the past, he wasn't able to practice these techniques as he was still too weak . Now that he had grown somewhat, he would be able to handle the might of king-grade techniques .

He searched his mind and found a bunch of tier-4 battle techniques . They were the lowest of tier-4 techniques, and he had nearly forgotten they existed . Fortunately, he had an astonishingly powerful memory . After thinking for a bit, he recalled all of them in their entirety .

"Of the tier-4 flame battle techniques I know, there are Raging Spear Technique, Flame Wave Compounding Saber Technique, Seven Yang Restoration Swords . . . All these are decent techniques, but I have already comprehended saber intent . In the future, I will be further improving my saber intent . The main elements of the Overlord Skyslaying Saber are gold and lightning, so I can't practice a flame saber technique," Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself . After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "Right, there's the Seven Scorching Sun Claws! It is a top tier-4 claw technique with astonishing might . Coupled with Yun Flame's power, I will possess the might to part mountains and rivers!"

Xiang Shaoyun then started chanting the mantra of the Seven Scorching Sun Claws .

The Seven Scorching Sun Claws were separated into the following stances: Iron Tearing Stance, Silver Tearing Stance, Gold Tearing Stance, Jade Tearing Stance, World Tearing Stance, Moon Tearing Stance, and Sun Tearing Stance .

Iron Tearing Stance: Attaching flame to one's claws, creating claw energy as hard a steel . Capable of tearing apart stone and iron .

Silver Tearing Stance: The claws assume an ashy silver color, seemingly having turned into a silver weapon . Capable of penetrating all equipment to directly tear an opponent apart .

Gold Tearing Stance: This was the stage where the claw energy had become as hard as gold, capable of overcoming all defenses .

Jade Tearing Stance: A stage where no weapon in existence was comparable .

World Tearing Stance: With a claw, earth would split, river would form, an attack akin to a natural disaster .

Moon Tearing Stance: Near the top of this claw technique . With a claw, one could crush the moon hanging in the sky .

Sun Tearing Stance: A stage where one would be able to destroy suns and moons, possessing incredibly destructive power .

Xiang Shaoyun was extremely satisfied with the Seven Scorching Sun Claws . He thus started cultivating .

Finger and claw techniques had high requirements in terms of one's finger bones . Without sufficiently strong finger bones, one would not be able to unleash the real power of finger and claw techniques .

Xiang Shaoyun knew himself well . With his physique, cultivating the Seven Scorching Sun Claws was nothing difficult . He started practicing from the first stance, the Iron Tearing Stance . He practiced each of the moves in an orderly and methodical manner, demonstrating a textbook-perfect version of the stance .

He was not in any rush for quick results . After all, step by step progress was what was important in any battle technique one practiced . It was even more so for high-level techniques .

Only by building a stable foundation would one be able to better unleash the power of the practiced battle technique . This place was filled with lava and was not an environment anyone else could cultivate at . But Xiang Shaoyun was able to ignore his environment as he waved his hands in the claw form over and over .

At first, the claw he formed looked rather stiff . But after many repetitions, his motions became smoother . Due to his outstanding talent, he was able to easily discover the technique's key points .  

Time passed, and finally, he was able to fully complete the entirety of the first stance .
