The crimson flames engulfed the three soulless men at the Tyrant Profound Realm. Their bodies had no time to react as the fire tore through their flesh, burning them alive in an instant. Skin and bone crumbled into blackened char, and within moments, they were reduced to nothing but ashes, which quickly dissipated into the air.
Ye Guying was someone in the 7th Sovereign Profound Realm, even if he faced the attack of 50 Yun Wuji, he could still deal with them. But under the Dragon Soul Domain, his spirit and profound strength collapsed entirely, and that layer of protective profound energy didn't reach even forty percent of his usual.
The fire engulfed his body, drowning him in a sea of flames. Though he didn't struggle, his body instinctively mobilized his profound energy to defend itself. Even so, he could muster no more than 40 percent of his usual profound energy.
His profound energy lasted only a second before crumbling, and the flames scorched his flesh.
Unlike the three men at the Tyrant Profound Realm who perished instantly, Ye Guying was much tougher. His flesh burned more slowly; his face was entirely charred, half of his arm was reduced to blackened bone, and, naturally, his little brother was the first to be incinerated completely.
Looking at the old man who had become a half-charred shawarma, Yun Wuji felt no joy. He knew he couldn't kill him before he recovered. Three seconds was very short, and the time was almost up.
"AHHHH!" As he thought so, Ye Guying suddenly opened his eyes and roared in pain and agony, his face twisted in pain. He immediately gathered all his profound energy, and white-blue energy surrounded his body, pushing all the fire away.
"Huff, huff, huff," Grimacing in pain, he slowly lifted his hand. Seeing that half of his arm had turned to bone, his expression grew ferocious. He looked down and saw that his clothes had been reduced to ashes by the intense fire. As he lowered his head, he noticed with horror that what should have been between his legs was no longer there only a very tiny, blackened, charred remnant remained.
"Noo!" Ye Guying lifted his head and roared to the heavens. Then he turned his gaze toward Yun Wuji, his eyes blazing with immense fury and hatred.
"Bastard, I will kill you! Even if you escape to the ends of the world, I will find you. I will return this humiliation to you a hundredfold, a thousandfold!" Ye Guying's face, half burned away, revealed his exposed jaw bones. His expression twisted in hatred and fury, he looked even more terrifying than his wife without makeup.
Yun Wuji's domain began to collapse, and in a moment, it dissipated. He slowly fell to the ground, his profound energy drained and his mental energy nearly exhausted from using both Omnipresent and Dragon Soul Domain.
The light surrounding him shrank back into his body, and instantly, he recovered all his energy.
"So in the end, I failed," he sighed. He wasn't disappointed; it was to be expected. He was only at the 10th level Sky Profound Realm, while this old man was at the 7th level Sovereign Profound Realm. The difference between them was 27 small realms.
'Do I have to use the nakama power to win?' Yun Wuji thought, looking behind him at Chu Yuechan and the others, who were watching him with worried expressions. He then lowered his hand, revealing a green pearl it was the Sky Poison Pearl.
He closed his hand and put the Sky Poison Pearl away, then burned his blood once again. This time, it was Dragon Blood, not Phoenix Blood.
The quantity of Dragon Blood was many times greater than Phoenix Blood. As he burned it, intense silver and azure light erupted from different parts of his body, and a formless power surged through him, pushing everything around him.
At the same time, his body began to transform. Silver dragon scales covered him, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, wide silver dragon wings burst from his back, and finally, a dragon tail extended from his lower back.
"It feels different from before," Yun Wuji said, looking at his hand and then clenching it into a fist. He could feel that his body was far stronger than before.
"You're a dragon? No, that's not right! You're a half-dragon! If so then how did you get the Phoenix bloodline? Did your... did your father fuck a female dragon?!" Yun Wuji's transformation made Ye Guying momentarily forget his pain. A flurry of questions popped into his head, and he began to imagine a man pounding a giant dragon from behind. 'This doesn't make sense!'
"..." Yun Wuji ignored him and closed his eyes. He knew that the rational choice would be to use the Sky Poison Pearl to kill Ye Guying directly. Burning his dragon blood would delay his progress for at least two months, but he was determined to act impulsively.
For the first time since his master's death, Yun Wuji wanted to do something driven by emotion. 'Anyway, two or three months isn't much.'
In his profound veins, the base of his profound veins shone with intense silver light. A portion of the light split off, moving from the base to the first entrance, then smoothly to the second, and the third.
The light continued its steady journey through all seventy-seven entrances. Upon connecting to the seventy-seventh entrance, his profound veins began to tremble slightly, but compared to before, his veins were much more stable.
Yun Wuji took a deep breath, and under his will, the silver light surged from the base of his profound veins, making its way steadily to the last entrance.
Boom!
*He failed, Yun Wuji fainted and Ye Guying killed him... the end!*
When the light connected to the final entrance, a resounding bang echoed through his body. Intense silver light burst within his profound veins, illuminating every entrance. His veins now resembled a constellation, with the entrances like stars linked by shining silver lines, forming the shape of a grand tree.
Boom!
As his profound entrances connected, silver light radiated from Yun Wuji's body, enveloping him entirely. The light intensified, surging upward in a brilliant pillar that pierced the sky.
The silver light pierced through the clouds, scattering them like mist, and shot straight into the sky. It formed a towering pillar, connecting heaven and earth with its radiant brilliance as if the very heavens were acknowledging his power.
"Wuji..." Chu Yuechan gazed at the towering pillar of light, her hands clasped tightly together as she silently prayed for him.
"...Yun Wuji, don't lose," Gong Yuxian whispered, her gaze fixed on the pillar of light with a complex expression.
"What is this?!" Ye Guying's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the silver light. A sense of dread surged within him. Abandoning any thought of torturing Yun Wuji, he quickly gathered all his strength and launched a powerful punch at the pillar of light!
This isn't an anime, your enemies won't just stand by and let you power up...
"Wuji!" Seeing this, Chu Yuechan cried and shock and fear!
"Oh no!" Gong Yuxian, Feng Qianhui, and the Immortal Palace disciple exclaimed in shock.
Bang!
However, contrary to their expectations, the silver light pillar surrounding Yun Wuji remained unaffected. It stood firm and undisturbed, completely unharmed by the attack.
At the same time, Yun Wuji began to feel power surging in his veins, his cultivation began to soar!
11th level Sky Profound Realm!
12th level Sky Profound Realm!
13th level Sky Profound Realm!
1th level Emperor Profound Realm!
2th level Emperor Profound Realm!
3th level Emperor Profound Realm!
4th level Emperor Profound Realm!
5th level Emperor Profound Realm!
9th level Emperor Profound Realm!
10th level Emperor Profound Realm!
His cultivation rose from the 10th level Sky Profound Realm to the 10th level Emperor Profound Realm in a few short moments!
As the silver pillar dissipated, Yun Wuji slowly opened his eyes. His hair had turned silver-white, and his eyes glowed with the same silver light. Radiant white-silver light surrounded him, and a smile spread across his face, 'I did it! Sigh, sometimes, even I get scared of my own genius!'
"Hmm, even after burning all my Dragon God's blood, my body still feels weak. I can only maintain this power for less than half a minute," Yun Wuji clenched his fist, feeling his body and profound veins trembling under the strain. He smiled and added, 'But this is more than enough for me to act cool!'
"What the fuck I happening? No, that's not important, I need to run!" Ye Guying didn't know that happened, but there is one thing he knew for sure, that the young man before him become stronger! This young man was already strong enough to nearly kill him, now that he became stronger, he would certainly kill him. Better to escape and return once the effect of this power-up had faded!

I'm not sure what to name this technique. Any suggestions?
