Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

\'Like hell a puny flame like you would dare to disobey this Empress.\'

Xiao Lan roared in her mind and raised her hand as she put the sphere of flames between her palms. Flames erupted with even more power as a crazed grin appeared on her face. Blood began to ooze out of her mouth as her fingers began to melt practically. But she didn\'t care.

The flames fought against her control, trying to break free but Xiao Lan didn\'t let that happen. And worse, she made the sphere of flames condense even more, turning it deep crimson in colour. Previously, it looked a little transperant but now it was a complete sphere of crimson red flames.

And finally, she succeeded.

Xiao Lan panted as she held the small sphere of flames in her hand. She had finally succeeded and in her first try at that. Her face and body looked exhausted but her eyes were shining like bright hot stars.

One of her fingers was melted to the point that her bone was visible and her whole arm looked like it had been put in a oven. However, she was still excited. The pain didn\'t lower her excitement at all.

"Although I wasn\'t able to bring it to infant stage. It\'s still good. I\'ll bring this to infant stage before the tournaments for sure."

Xiao Lan sat on the ground and looked at the small, finger sized ball of crimson red flames and grinned. She muttered.

"I wonder how powerful is this?"

She grinned and stood up, despite her injuries. She raised her hand which was holding the ball and looked at the other side of the pond. It was a plain area where yellow plants were growing in the blazing atmosphere.

"Go!"

She flicked her fingers as the ball shot at an incredible speed, leaving a red trail behind. It was a beautiful sight but what happened next was also incredibly beautiful....only to someone like Xiao Lan.

The sphere of ball landed on the ground and exploded in a loud explosion. A huge mushroom of smoke rose in the air as the ground trembled, making Xiao Lan fall on the ground.

Waves of outburst of explosion passed over her as they cut her cheeks. Nonetheless, she didn\'t even close her eyes and enjoyed the beautiful scenery before her.

After some time, the explosion died out making the atmosphere return to normal. It was a fire domain to begin with and had been personally made by Xiao Lan so she knew what to do with it.

Xiao Lan grinned and said.

"This should be enough to wipe whole teams, heh. You wanna fight me with those puny mortal techniques? Heh, bring it on. With a flick of my fingers, I\'ll reduce you all to dust."

Xiao Lan laughed but then a intense pain assaulted her as she was reminded of the injuries she had suffered to make that kind of attack. Her palms were basically a cooked piece of meat.... except that this meat was overcooked.

She sighed looking her condition as she remembered her training sessions she did in her past life. They were far more intense than this and she occasionally had her whole body destroyed when trying out new techniques.

"Aghh! I can handle the mental pain but fuck this physical pain!"

Xiao Lan groaned and then focused on her half healed soul. Suddenly, white flames erupted from her body and covered her whole body. However, this time her body didn\'t get any wounds but instead, her injuries began to heal at a visible rate.

Flesh returned on her finger as her whole body began to heal completely. However, there was a frown on her face. She had just used her Ancestral Phoenix Flames to heal herself and no matter how many times she used them, she just couldn\'t get used to the pain they brought.

The Ancestral Phoenix Flames were very powerful and had been passed down for thousands of years among the Divine Phoenix Empresses. They could do many things and one of their major ability was to heal anything.

Even if your whole body got destroyed, they could rebuild it as if it was nothing major. However, there was a major flaw to this regenerative power and it was that the bigger and grave injury she heals, the more pain she would experience.

Even after using the Ancestral Phoenix Flames for so many years, she still hadn\'t been able to get used to them. It always hurt a lot but she had began to use them in her practice. Although they did hurt, they allowed her to be a completely free spirit.

Since the injury this time was small, she didn\'t experience much pain and soon returned to her prime. Everything was gone, from her charred body to broken fingers. It was as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Lan looked at her finger for some time and then thought.

\'Although that attack is powerful and useful, it takes so much Qi. I can\'t even use it twice in a battle.\'

Xiao Lan clicked her tongue, feeling her Qi reserves very low. That single attack had taken more than half of her Qi. She would have practiced it a little more but it was impossible now, not until she sat down and filled her Qi reserves again.

Xiao Lan then thought of something and looked at her finger which she wiggled around. A grin appeared on her face as thin threads of flames began to form between her fingers.

"Hehe, I\'ll use my threads and whips instead of my Heavenly Lotus Amalgamation. Heh, one month? I\'ll perfect everything."
