【Chapter 180: Xiao Yan's Confidence, Nalan Yanran's Unyielding Spirit】

Demon Beast Mountain Range.

The rushing waterfall heavily struck the rocks, and the thunderous echoes resounded in the small valley.

Standing by the lake below the waterfall, Xiao Yan looked at the ten giant wooden stakes inserted under the rushing flow of the waterfall. He couldn't help but make a bitter expression and said to Yao Lao beside him, "Master, you don't want me to practice down there, do you?"

"Correct answer."

With a faint smile, Yao Lao chuckled, "I've said it before, don't think that Earth-Grade Dou Techniques are like Xuan-Grade Dou Techniques, something anyone can learn. To cultivate at this level, you must meet certain prerequisites."

"Obviously, with your current strength as a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner, you don't meet those requirements."

"Give me the Heavy Sword."

Extending his hand, Yao Lao took the strange black Heavy Sword from Xiao Yan's back.

Originally weighing heavily on Xiao Yan's back, the Heavy Sword, in Yao Lao's hands, caused his arm to only sink slightly. Lifting the huge black sword, Yao Lao smiled and asked, "Have you seen a real Earth-Grade Dou Technique? Do you want to see it?"

At these words, Xiao Yan's eyes brightened suddenly, and he nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at rice.

With a faint smile, Yao Lao, holding the pitch-black Heavy Sword, slowly rose into the air. When his body gradually reached the center of the lake, he slowly came to a stop.

Looking down at the distance of four to five meters from the lake surface, Yao Lao raised his head and looked at the huge waterfall in front of him, which resembled a silver dragon.

Exhaling slowly, Yao Lao squinted his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly opened them. Immediately, a terrifying aura that Xiao Yan had never witnessed before surged out of Yao Lao's body like an awakened dragon.

Before this aura, the calm lake surface under Yao Lao's feet suddenly seemed to boil, constantly bubbling with white water bubbles. The boiling water bubbles spread from under Yao Lao's feet, covering the entire lake surface before finally stopping the expansion.

Staring dumbfounded at the phenomenon on the lake, Xiao Yan was shocked. The current Yao Lao, compared to the indifferent and lazy appearance before, was completely different. At this moment, he was like a chilling knife hidden in its sheath. The sharp aura made people almost dare not look directly at it.

"This... I'm afraid this is a true powerhouse..." Xiao Yan murmured softly. After a while, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly became hot. He believed that one day in the future, he could also reach this level!

Above the lake surface, Yao Lao calmly lifted the black sword in his hand. On the sword surface, the special patterns that had puzzled Xiao Yan before now emitted a fiery red light. The sword cut through the void, and the surrounding space became somewhat illusory and blurred.

Gripping the now fiery-red Heavy Sword tightly, Yao Lao uttered a low shout. His body suddenly moved.

With a slow step on the void, an afterimage appeared under the sunset, stunningly revealed.

Staring at the afterimage in the void, Xiao Yan was speechless for a while. He didn't expect Yao Lao's speed to be so terrifying.

As the afterimage gradually dissipated, Yao Lao's figure appeared under the waterfall, which was more than ten zhang wide. Compared to the hanging giant waterfall, Yao Lao's tiny figure was like an ant on a scroll, extremely inconspicuous. However, it was this tiny figure that brought forth a more terrifying momentum than the waterfall.

Rings of seven-colored halos emitted from the nine-colored lotus, filled with the vitality of the world.

The figure in moon-white clothes sat beside it, absorbing the rich natural energy around.

After a while, the aura on this figure suddenly changed.

"Nine-Star Dou Master Peak!"

Nalan Yanran slowly opened her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.

In just two months, with the help of the Seven-Colored Saint Lotus and the guidance of Gu He's cultivation, Nalan Yanran's cultivation had soared, reaching the level of an Eight-Star Dou Master.

At this moment, she once again made a breakthrough and reached the peak of a Nine-Star Dou Master!

"Can't be complacent. Compared to Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, and the others, I still have a long way to go." After only a moment of excitement, Nalan Yanran calmed down.

Thinking about the gap between herself and Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, and the others, a hint of unwillingness appeared on Nalan Yanran's pretty face.

What they can achieve, I, Nalan Yanran, will definitely achieve!

Afterwards, she spent half a day stabilizing her cultivation.

Her fingers brushed over the Nalan Ring, and a jade bottle appeared in her palm.

"It's time to take the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill to break through to the Dou Grandmaster..."
