Seeing Mo Yu's light-hearted demeanor, a glint of surprise flashed in She Lao's eyes. He nodded slightly, a strange smile crossing his sinister face. "You really are a unique human boy. My hopes lie with you. You must succeed…"
The scorching, bright cave emitted a wave of heat that hit the young man's face.
"Hehe, don't worry, She Lao. I've always been confident in myself, and I won't forget my promise to you."
Hearing She Lao's words, a confident smile appeared on Mo Yu's handsome face. He slowly raised his hand, holding the flame seed, and after a brief pause, he suddenly threw it into his open mouth.
As soon as the red flame seed entered his mouth, Mo Yu immediately closed his lips. Simultaneously, a heat akin to boiling water surged down his throat, rushing deep into his body. The intense heat made the young man clench his fists tightly, veins bulging on his hands.
Enduring the searing pain that radiated from within, Mo Yu slowly closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his body.
With his mind sinking inward, a misty and hazy scene appeared within Mo Yu's consciousness.
The red flame seed that had entered his body had already broken down into countless strands of scarlet flames. These flames, filled with terrifying energy, wildly coursed through his meridians, burning everything in their path.
The scarlet flames rampaged through his meridians, and within just a few minutes, Mo Yu's internal meridians were left in utter disarray, almost completely destroyed.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly channeled the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, using the power of thunder to form a thin protective shield of lightning between the scarlet flames and his meridians.
Under the protection of the thunder shield, although Mo Yu's body was still being ravaged by the terrifying Heavenly Flame, it wasn't as dire as before.
However, as the thunder shield endured the scorching of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, it gradually weakened.
Just as the shield was struggling to hold on, She Lao's deep voice suddenly sounded, "My bloodline power is also evolved through a Heavenly Flame and can resist part of the flame's erosion. I will lend it to you today."
With that, She Lao quickly formed a series of hand seals, and as the mysterious seals took shape, a peculiar purple-golden light radiated from his body and enveloped the young man.
Mo Yu nodded gratefully to She Lao. Immediately, a strange sensation surged from the top of his head, flowing into his body.
As the purple-golden light entered his body, Mo Yu felt the scorching and burning sensation throughout his body significantly diminish.
The purple-golden light flowed through his meridians, spreading throughout his body, and wherever it passed, it covered the meridians and bones with a thin layer of purple-gold membrane.
This membrane precisely counteracted the heat from the Heavenly Flame. The sudden relief made Mo Yu let out a long breath.
With the mysterious purple-golden membrane covering every part of his body, Mo Yu then began to cautiously attempt to make contact with a strand of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame coursing through his meridians.
However, as soon as he made contact, Mo Yu's brow furrowed slightly. The energy of this Heavenly Flame was inherently violent. Even though the Ten Thousand Beast Flame ranked near the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it was still not easy to control.
Fortunately, Mo Yu had anticipated this situation. In terms of raw ferocity, the Thunder Soul was not inferior to the Heavenly Flames, and in his past life, he had managed to subdue twelve strands of Thunder Soul. Therefore, he had a certain degree of confidence and patience when dealing with the Heavenly Flame.
After his initial failure to control it, Mo Yu did not give up. He continued to persistently try to control the flame with his mental power.
After an unknown number of failures, Mo Yu's calm expression finally showed a hint of movement.
Steadying his mind, Mo Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that the strand of Ten Thousand Beast Flame in his meridians had started to follow the path guided by his consciousness.
Noticing this change, Mo Yu's spirits lifted. He carefully controlled this small strand of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, guiding it through his meridians.
Within the broken meridians, a tiny strand of scarlet flame flowed slowly, and along its path, it clashed and dissolved with the thunder shield adhered to the meridian walls.
Once Mo Yu managed to gather the last strand of the scarlet flame, it gradually merged into a small flame seed.
Seeing the reformed flame seed, Mo Yu gritted his teeth, enduring the spasms of pain from his meridians, and continued to guide the flame through his meridians.
His teeth clenched tightly as the sudden intense pain left him dizzy for a moment before it subsided.
When the red flame seed completed a full cycle through a main meridian, Mo Yu could distinctly feel that the connection between his consciousness and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame had grown more harmonious.
Within his body, as the Ten Thousand Beast Flame completed its first cycle, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder in his energy vortex suddenly stirred. Like a ravenous wolf, under Mo Yu's guidance, strands of crimson lightning surged out from the vortex, wrapping around the flame seed and devouring it relentlessly...
Although the flame seed resisted fiercely, its efforts were in vain against Mo Yu's interference. In the end, it was overpowered by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and consumed.
Each time a portion of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was subdued, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder would open its crimson maw, transforming the flame into nourishment.
As the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was devoured, the power of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder grew stronger and more intense, resembling an ancient divine beast gradually awakening from its slumber.
Although the process was slow, the steady influx of energy ensured that the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was continuously swallowed by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder.
Seeing this, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, silently congratulating himself for his foresight.
If he hadn't positioned himself as an intermediary, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder would have faced numerous challenges trying to directly consume the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. It might even have failed.
After all, both were rare treasures of the world, and the Heavenly Flame was not inferior in rank to the Thunder Soul. If the thunder were left to devour the flame unchecked, any resistance from the latter could result in an upheaval that even She Lao might be unable to suppress.
However, just as Mo Yu felt satisfied with his progress, an unexpected change occurred.
As the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was gradually consumed by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, it seemed to sense a growing unease. The once-tamed flame suddenly grew wild again as it cycled through his body.
The scarlet flames surged, fiercely scorching the meridians shielded by the purple-golden membrane. Wherever the flames touched, the meridians transformed, appearing as though they had suffered severe injuries.
Experiencing the terror of devouring the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Mo Yu found his body left in shambles before the process was even completed.
With his current internal injuries, even with the aid of medicinal pills, it would take him months of recovery to return to his previous state.
If not for the fact that Mo Yu had practiced the body-refining Dou Technique Thunder Body, granting him a much stronger constitution than ordinary people, he would have been left crippled...
Within his meridians, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder continued to devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame that Mo Yu supplied, while the flame itself fought back relentlessly, matching each bit consumed with more energy.
This struggle, though it caused the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to grow rapidly—reaching maturity within moments—also subjected Mo Yu's body to unimaginable pain and torment.
Within Mo Yu's meridians, the protective layer of purple-gold light had been gradually worn thin by the long confrontation with the Heavenly Flame. From being dense and thick, it turned thin and translucent, and now, the purple-gold membrane had almost completely lost its defensive properties...
With the membrane gone, the already dire situation within Mo Yu's body worsened. The scorching heat roasted his meridians, causing them to twist and writhe. In some finer areas, his meridians even started to knot, severely hindering the flow of flames and thunder.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly channeled his Dou Qi, activating his Thunder Body. Thirty thunder patterns on his right arm lit up simultaneously.
Though the Thunder Body was an external body-refining technique and had little direct effect on his internal flesh, the enhancement of his physical body made Mo Yu keenly aware that his meridians had become far more resilient. The pain remained intense, but it ensured his life wasn't at immediate risk.
Having laid out all his cards, Mo Yu could only grit his teeth and persist in controlling the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, allowing it to be gradually devoured by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder.
Only by doing this could he ensure a perfect outcome for his efforts. If the Heavenly Flame were to backlash, he would be reduced to ashes on the spot.
"Hiss…"
A small crack suddenly split open on Mo Yu's face, and blood trickled out, staining half of his face crimson, making him look like a strange, blood-drenched specter.
With his eyes closed, Mo Yu was unaware of how terrifying his appearance had become. He could only vaguely feel a sudden sharp pain on his face.
But almost numb to pain, Mo Yu did not halt his process. Instead, he focused entirely on taming the Ten Thousand Beast Flame while guiding the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to consume it.
As the Heavenly Flame's energy wore down, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder within his energy whirlpool absorbed a substantial amount of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame's essence, giving it an aura like that of a slumbering ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird.
As one of the most powerful flames in existence, the energy of a Heavenly Flame was immensely wild and potent. Compared to it, the violent energy of a magical core was hardly worth mentioning.
Thus, throughout the countless years on the Dou Qi Continent, although many powerful beings had subdued Heavenly Flames and become their masters, no one had ever heard of anything being capable of consuming the energy of a Heavenly Flame to evolve.
Mo Yu's attempt to devour the Heavenly Flame with the Thunder Soul was unprecedented on the Dou Qi Continent. Success or failure, if word spread, it would surely become the talk of the realm.
Even She Lao couldn't help but narrow his sinister, narrow eyes, closely watching the youth.
At this moment, in Mo Yu's energy whirlpool, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder continued to grow. The terrifying currents of thunder formed a prison-like cage, exuding a formidable aura.
Now in its mature phase, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder was steadily progressing toward its peak. As it continued to devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, it grew ever closer, only a step away from reaching its zenith.
Sensing the critical moment, Mo Yu gritted through the pain wracking his body, a faint smile of relief tugging at his lips.
As the final wisp of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was absorbed, Mo Yu hesitated briefly, then directed the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder out of the whirlpool, guiding it to envelop the last remnants of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, devouring them with all its might.
The last ember of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame seemed unwilling to be consumed entirely, struggling desperately. Yet, against the now nearly-restored Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, it was like a child resisting an adult, mercilessly swallowed whole.
"Caw!"
At the moment the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was devoured, a cry of a Vermilion Bird suddenly echoed in Mo Yu's mind.
With this cry, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder seemed like an ancient divine beast awakening. The Vermilion Bird within the thunder opened its divine-like eyes, and at the same time, a powerful aura erupted from Mo Yu's body, causing the entire cavern to tremble.
"Not good!"
Sensing the tremors and the impending collapse of the soul power barrier from the aura shockwave, She Lao's expression changed. He swiftly formed seals with his hands, releasing a surge of energy to stabilize the soul shield before he finally relaxed.
"Has he succeeded? What a terrifying Thunde Soul. This aura... it might surpass even the top fifteen on the Heavenly Flame Ranking," She Lao muttered with some trepidation, recalling the scene of the Vermilion Bird's divine gaze opening before him.
Inside Mo Yu's body, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder in the energy whirlpool—far superior to the Ten Thousand Beast Flame—completely devoured the chaotic bloodlines of countless magical beasts within the flame. In the end, it all transformed into the pure power of the Vermilion Bird.
Mo Yu's mind, dulled by excruciating pain, was now soothed by a gentle coolness, allowing him to regain a sense of calm.
In the cavern, She Lao looked at Mo Yu, whose body was covered with countless scars, and let out a heavy sigh of relief, a satisfied smile spreading across his face as he nodded slightly.
In an instant, a blinding crimson thunder flame burst from Mo Yu's body, encasing him within. Within the swirling red thunder, the faint outline of a divine Vermilion Bird emerged, radiant and awe-inspiring. Its divine aura spread across the surrounding dozens of miles, causing all the nearby magical beasts to tremble with fear.
Staring at the suddenly materialized thunder flame in the shape of a Vermilion Bird, She Lao's wicked eyes lit up as he murmured to himself, "What a terrifying little monster. He actually managed to accomplish a reckless feat unseen in the history of the Dou Qi Continent... Impressive…"
