Ye Xuan couldn’t afford to be shocked. He hastily released streams of Soul Sense and began refining the Endless Molten Fla.
"What are you?"
"You insignificant human, you actually think you can subjugate ?"
A vague ripple emanated from the Endless Molten Fla—clearly the nascent will it had just ford.
Following its will ca an even more scorching power.
CRACKLE, CRACKLE.
The surface of Ye Xuan’s body was imdiately scorched, his flesh and blood on the verge of being incinerated into nothingness.
Without a change in expression, Ye Xuan swiftly threw out one Array Disc after another. A large number of them surrounded him, isolating him from the fla’s power.
After learning there might be a Celestial Fire here, Ye Xuan had spent the last two days making preparations, specifically forging many Array Discs and Arrays capable of isolating the aura of flas.
With the support of these Array Discs, the fiery power entering Ye Xuan’s body was imdiately reduced by more than half.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Xuan imdiately released his Soul Sense with all his might, frantically imprinting it upon the core of the Endless Molten Fla.
"Human, you’re actually engraving your aura on ? No, you can actually refine ? How are you doing this?"
Although the Endless Molten Fla had previously counter-attacked Ye Xuan, it was rely subconscious. The bulk of its vague consciousness’s energy was still focused on the Seven-Colored Lotus above, preparing to use it to absorb the Profound Power from the Demon Beasts and human Martial Artists.
Now that it discovered Ye Xuan could refine it, a sense of panic imdiately washed over it, and it turned the majority of its power to attack Ye Xuan.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Array Discs, which had previously been able to block most of the Endless Molten Fla’s aura, instantly began to explode one after another. At the sa ti, an aura several tis more scorching than before enveloped Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s body imdiately blackened again, the charring spreading inward.
Ye Xuan was horrified. ’At this rate, I’ll be burned to ashes long before I can refine this Endless Molten Fla!’
In his desperation, Ye Xuan could no longer hold back. He imdiately activated the Life Martial Soul in his mind.
As soon as the Life Martial Soul appeared, a vigorous life force imdiately began to circulate within Ye Xuan’s body, rapidly repairing it.
On one side was the constantly burning fla; on the other, the constantly repairing life force.
The process of his skin, muscles, and even bones being constantly destroyed and reborn left Ye Xuan caught between life and death. The agony was truly beyond words.
Under the constant output of the Life Martial Soul, Ye Xuan’s body gradually recovered its vitality. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, recovered his senses slightly, and increased his efforts to refine the Endless Molten Fla.
He knew that only by completely refining the Endless Molten Fla would he truly be safe.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan’s intensified refining efforts only increased the Endless Molten Fla’s resistance.
Ye Xuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, once again felt sothing was wrong. His body had just been repaired when an even stronger wave of fiery power from the Endless Molten Fla swept over him, covering him in scorch marks once more.
Ye Xuan quickly urged his Life Martial Soul to release more life force, but his newly repaired body was soon injured again. After this repeated several tis, Ye Xuan imdiately noticed a problem.
His Life Martial Soul was currently only one-star. Under his frantic consumption, its life force was showing signs of being unable to keep up. In contrast, the power of the Endless Molten Fla was growing stronger and stronger.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the power in his Life Martial Soul was completely depleted, and he himself would be burned to a crisp by the Endless Molten Fla.
At this thought, Ye Xuan imdiately and swiftly took out a large quantity of Spirit dicines and Profound Stones from his Storage Ring, frantically replenishing the Profound Qi in his body.
At the sa ti, he rapidly inscribed one array pattern after another, laying down Restrictions while he continued to refine the Endless Molten Fla.
These Restrictions incorporated so of the insights he had just gained.
Despite all these efforts, Ye Xuan still found that his body was gradually heading toward collapse.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Only now did he realize that with his current strength, he couldn’t casually refine even a newly born Celestial Fire with an immature consciousness.
But things had already co to this. There was no turning back.
Either he would refine the Endless Molten Fla.
Or he would be utterly incinerated by it. There was no other possibility.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan grit his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
"Nine Transformation Sacred Body!"
"Formless Soul Skill!"
"Nine Transformation Arrogant World Skill!"
"Refine for !"
Ye Xuan let out a low shout, completely unleashing his potential and frantically suppressing the Endless Molten Fla.
BUZZZZ!
Runes for imprisoning the Celestial Fire also appeared from within Ye Xuan’s body—the result of his constant preparations over the past few days.
The Endless Molten Fla also seed to realize that things had reached the most critical mont. The flas atop it surged even more violently, colliding with Ye Xuan’s power.
BOOM!
The terrifying aura of the Celestial Fire annihilated everything.
CRACKLE, CRACKLE.
Ye Xuan’s physical body began to incinerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
’Am I going to fail?’
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
’Celestial Fire truly lives up to its na as the supre fla between heaven and earth. The difficulty of refining it is simply not sothing an Earth Fire can compare to.’
However, this difficulty only served to stir the resolute side of Ye Xuan’s heart.
’I refuse to believe it! I, Ye Xuan, who road the cosmos in my past life and started over in this one, will die so easily here.’
’Even if I die, I won’t let you have an easy ti of it!’
"Break! Break! Break for !"
A furious roar erupted from Ye Xuan’s mouth.
BOOM!
Ye Xuan felt as if sothing inside him had shattered. An astonishing power surged forth, and at the sa ti, under the last wisp of power from his Life Martial Soul, his body began to recover at an incredible speed.
At the critical mont when his physical body was about to be incinerated...
...having absorbed and consud a large amount of Spirit dicines, Pills, and Profound Stones, he actually broke through from the Third Layer of the Earth Martial Artist realm to the Tier Four Celestial Martial Artist realm! At the sa ti, the constant recovery of his physical body also allowed his Nine Transformation Sacred Body to quietly advance from the Second Transformation to the Third Transformation.
This sudden change at the critical mont instantly snatched Ye Xuan from the jaws of death. The Profound Qi in his body rapidly converted into the more powerful Profound Power, and his Soul Power also quietly broke through to the Late-Fourth Grade.
The mont his Soul Power rose, Ye Xuan suppressed his joy, not daring to delay for even a second. He enveloped the Endless Molten Fla with all his strength and activated all of his Soul Sense to begin refining it.
Ye Xuan, who had been completely suppressed before, imdiately gained a slight upper hand.
Sensing the explosive increase in Ye Xuan’s strength and Soul Sense, the Endless Molten Fla seed to perceive the danger. It actually stopped tangling with Ye Xuan. Freed from his Restrictions, it instead tried to break free from the shackles of his Soul Sense and escape.
How could Ye Xuan let the Endless Molten Fla get its wish? After spending so much energy and suffering so much, how could he possibly let it escape?
The Endless Molten Fla’s attempt to flee imdiately gave Ye Xuan the opportunity to counterattack. The Soul Talisman in his mind suddenly blood with an infinite aura of Soul Power. Under his Divine Spirit Gaze, Ye Xuan swiftly branded one Soul Seal after another onto the Endless Molten Fla.
Although the Endless Molten Fla possessed a certain level of consciousness, it was still very rudintary. Under the assault of the experienced Ye Xuan, it was instantly outmaneuvered.
Half an hour later, a panting and completely charred Ye Xuan finally finished refining the Endless Molten Fla.
Ye Xuan imdiately felt a harmonious connection form between himself and the Endless Molten Fla. The once incomparably violent fla now felt like an extension of his own body, sothing he could command as easily as moving a limb.
But just as Ye Xuan was about to properly study the Endless Molten Fla, his senses suddenly picked up sothing unusual.
Soone was coming!
With no ti to investigate who had discovered this place, Ye Xuan directly absorbed the Endless Molten Fla into the space between his eyebrows. He then quickly collected the roots of the Seven-Colored Lotus, and with a flicker of his body, he dove into the tunnel bored out earlier by the earth-drilling beast and swiftly left the area.
As he left, Ye Xuan also sent a ssage to the Little Purple Mink to make its move.
「In the lava cavern above.」
Without the support of the Endless Molten Fla, the fiery aura on the Seven-Colored Lotus dropped sharply.
The previously flowing Magma Lake also began to gradually solidify.
This phenonon was imdiately noticed by the Demon Beasts and human Martial Artists who were attacking each other.
’Could the Seven-Colored Lotus be picked now?’
The warring human Martial Artists and the swarm of Demon Beasts all froze for a mont, but none made a move.
But in the instant they were stunned...
SWOOSH!
...a streak of purple light shot toward the Seven-Colored Lotus like a sharp arrow. It was the Little Purple Mink.
"Damn it, the Seven-Colored Lotus can be picked!"
"Quick!"
"Where did that little purple thing co from? It’s too cunning! Stop it!"
For a mont, furious shouts rang out one after another. Whether human Martial Artists or Demon Beasts, none had any desire to continue fighting. One by one, they charged madly toward the Seven-Colored Lotus.
SNAP!
Although the Little Purple Mink’s paws were small, its speed was extrely fast. In a brief instant, it had picked three of the seven lotus blossoms.
Just as it was about to pick the fourth...
"Get lost!"
The Profound Beast Black Netherworld was the first to arrive. With a roar, it swatted at the Little Purple Mink while simultaneously grabbing for the lotus blossom closest to it.
Behind Black Netherworld, the other two Tier Five Profound Beasts, Red Fla and White Elephant, were also charging over furiously. A large number of Tier Five Demon Beasts and human Martial Sect warriors also rushed in for the kill, their eyes bloodshot.
The Little Purple Mink let out a mocking laugh. Its body flickered and vanished into thin air, then it instantly reappeared next to the lotus blossom Black Netherworld had its eye on and plucked the fourth one.
As it plucked it, the Little Purple Mink also gave a sharp kick, sending an adjacent lotus blossom flying.
The direction it kicked was right where Dongfang Yanyu and Kuchen were.
THWAP!
A lotus blossom landed in their hands, and both Dongfang Yanyu and Kuchen were stunned.
They never would have expected to obtain a lotus blossom so easily. Wasn’t their luck a bit too good?
"This Little Purple Mink looks so familiar... Why does it look so much like Ye Xuan’s?"
Both Dongfang Yanyu and Kuchen had seen Ye Xuan’s Little Purple Mink before. Their expressions froze, and after a quick glance at each other, they retreated backward without the slightest hesitation.
