BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Since the Tian Huo Venerable retrieved the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Feng and his group no longer needed to stay in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Towerr to cultivate.

Now, they only needed the Tian Huo Venerable to activate the Fallen Heart Flame to summon the core flame, which helped Xiao Feng and his companions refine their Dou Qi, much more efficiently than cultivating in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Towerr.

With the dual boost of the Triple Jade Green Snake Flower Pupils and the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Feng's cultivation speed skyrocketed, and just a few days ago, he successfully broke through to the two-star Dou Emperor.

As for Little Fairy Doctor, her cultivation speed was even more astonishing, breaking through from a five-star Dou Emperor to a nine-star Dou Emperor.

However, Little Fairy Doctor didn't achieve this solely through cultivation. She originally took about a month to break through from a five-star to a seven-star Dou Emperor.

The reason she reached the nine-star Dou Emperor was because after breaking through to seven stars, she took the Mighty Huang Pill given to her by Qing Lin.

The Mighty Huang Pill allows Dou Emperor-level experts to advance by one or two stars without side effects, making it the most efficient for a seven-star Dou Emperor to take.

Little Fairy Doctor was quite lucky. After taking the Mighty Huang Pill, her power surged by two stars.

Fortunately, the Fallen Heart Flame helped stabilize her. Otherwise, with Little Fairy Doctor advancing four stars in just one month, there would have been serious risks of instability in her foundation.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Xiao Feng was, as usual, having breakfast with Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, a graceful figure suddenly appeared beside him out of thin air.

The newcomer was petite and adorable, dressed in an elegant green gown, with gentle emerald-green eyes. It was none other than Qing Lin, the young mistress of the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

Qing Lin glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on Xiao Feng, her lips parting softly as she said, "Young Master, I'm back~"

"Good to see you back. Have you had breakfast yet?" Xiao Feng asked, patting the chair beside him. "Come sit and join us."

"Mhm!" Qing Lin nodded obediently and sat beside Xiao Feng, then greeted Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, "Good morning, Sister Xian'er, Zi Yan~"

"Good morning," Little Fairy Doctor responded before asking curiously, "Qing Lin, did your trip to subdue the seventh-rank snake pets go smoothly?"

"Very smoothly. With Grandma personally overseeing it, those seventh-rank snake pets didn't stand a chance," Qing Lin replied, waving her hand.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, two burly men appeared before everyone's eyes.

One man was over two meters tall, with bulging muscles, short blonde hair, and a fierce expression. His cheeks were lined with golden scales.

The other man stood about 1.9 meters tall, with bronze-colored skin and a bald head, his body carved like stone.

"The one with the golden hair is named King Kong. His true form is a seventh-rank Gold-Swallowing Python, a metal-type magical beast with powerful defenses, and his strength rivals a three-star Dou Ancestor," Qing Lin introduced the first man before turning to the bald man. "And this is Giant Spirit. His true form is a seventh-rank Titan King Snake, an earth-type magical beast with immense strength, capable of moving mountains. He has the power of a two-star Dou Ancestor."

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from King Kong and Giant Spirit, Zi Yan, who was also a magical beast, couldn't help but marvel, "Wow, these two are really strong!"

"Excellent, Qing Lin. You didn't disappoint me," Xiao Feng smiled as he gently patted Qing Lin's head. "Now that you're back, it's time to move forward with our plan to dominate the Black-Corner Region."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan's faces lit up with excitement.

The Black-Corner Region was home to many factions established by Dou Emperor experts, but only those with Dou Ancestor experts could truly be considered dominant powers.

Xiao Feng had originally planned to wait until Little Fairy Doctor broke through to Dou Ancestor before executing their plan to conquer the Black-Corner Region. But with Qing Lin's early return and the subjugation of two seventh-rank snake pets, the time seemed ripe.

…

Demon Flame Valley, Black-Corner Region.

Aside from Canaan Academy, Demon Flame Valley was one of the strongest factions in the entire Black-Corner Region.

The Valley Master of Demon Flame Valley, known as the "Old Ground demon Ghost," was a seven-star Dou Ancestor, an elder of the same generation as Mang Tian Chi.

Demon Flame Valley also had four Dou Emperor elders. The first elder was a half-step Dou Ancestor, while the second and third elders were nine-star Dou Emperors. Even the weakest fourth elder had the strength of a six-star Dou Emperor, making the valley a true dominant power.

The valley was located in the northern mountains of the Black-Corner Region, spanning an area as large as Black Seal City. The valley's black rocks, gleaming with metallic luster, were called Mo Gang stones, known for their hardness, even beyond the power of Dou King to destroy. Clearly, Demon Flame Valley sat on a massive Mo Gang stone mine.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four streaks of light shot through the sky, halting above Demon Flame Valley.

As Xiao Feng gazed down at the black stone mine stretching for hundreds of miles, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

While Mo Gang stones weren't particularly valuable for crafting high-level weapons, they were perfect for creating low-level artifacts. Once Xiao Feng established his own faction, the quickest way to strengthen his followers would be to distribute these low-level artifacts, and the Mo Gang stones would be ideal for this purpose.

"Old Ground demon Ghost, come out and face your death!"

Xiao Feng's voice, empowered by the Ascending To Immortality technique, rolled like thunder across Demon Flame Valley, reverberating through every corner.

"How dare you! Who are you to cause trouble in Demon Flame Valley?"

"Anyone who disrespects the Valley Master will be killed without mercy!"

"You shall not leave here alive today…"

Following Xiao Feng's challenge, a wave of angry voices echoed throughout the valley, and several figures shot into the sky to confront Xiao Feng's group.

Judging by the aura radiating from these individuals, they were all Dou King experts, likely outer elders of Demon Flame Valley.

"Excellent! My fists have been itching for a while now!" Zi Yan exclaimed excitedly as she flapped her purple wings, charging at one of the Dou King elders.

At first, the elder, seeing Zi Yan as a mere child, underestimated her. But after exchanging blows, he realized that this little girl possessed terrifying strength, and immediately took the fight seriously.
