Chapter 129: The Next Target, Refining the Sea Heart Flame!

The green flames surged violently, as clusters of flames soared. The space around the flames showed conspicuous distortions. At this moment, the temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame had reached a terrifying height that left one speechless!

Under Yun Tianming's feet, the rocks gradually burst under the scorching of the green flames. Within seconds, they turned into small pieces of gravel, finally melting into a puddle of green magma.

"It truly lives up to being a Sixth Grade Pill, the fire resistance buff is fully stacked."

With a thick layer of blood-colored membrane on his body, providing effective insulation against flames, Yun Tianming swaggered towards the green flames. Simultaneously, he released his Soul Power, quickly locking onto the fire seed, no larger than a grain of rice, within the green flames.

As he approached step by step, the temperature around him suddenly surged. The blood-colored layer enveloping his body began to melt, and his body could clearly sense the terrifying heat emanating from the Green Lotus Core Flame.

At this moment, it seemed that the Green Lotus Core Flame also sensed Yun Tianming's actions. The fire seed swiftly swam within the green flames, attempting to evade his grasp.

"Don't even think about running."

Yun Tianming thrust his entire arm into the green flames, unabashedly capturing the fire seed within. Amidst his stirring, the green flames roared violently, and the energy of the surrounding space erupted like a riot, transforming into various colorful energies, converging into the green flames.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble~"

In an instant, the earth began to tremble violently. This was a seismic energy eruption inadvertently triggered by the Green Lotus Core Flame, capable of causing natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

Under the scorching of the green flames, the blood-colored layer on his body began to melt at an accelerated rate. Although Yun Tianming's body was burned, he knew that he absolutely could not retreat at this moment. Enduring the pain of burns with both hands outstretched, he firmly grasped the fire seed in the palm of his hand, as if swatting a mosquito, and then pulled it out of the green flames.

As the fire seed was pulled away, the massive green flames in front of him gradually shrank. After a moment, it transformed into a thin strand of green flame, which burrowed into the fire seed in Yun Tianming's palm.

"This is the original fire seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame. It is said that when it first formed, it should have been as large as a mountain peak. However, after millennia of compression and condensation by the earth, its volume has gradually decreased, eventually growing into a true Heavenly Flame!"

!

At this moment, nearly half of Yun Tianming's body's surface area of blood-colored membrane had melted away, revealing half of his face, his eyes filled with fervent emotions.

Next, the most crucial step was to come.

With a determined gaze, Yun Tianming decisively slapped the fire seed in his hand into his mouth, then swallowed it without hesitation.

"Gurgle~"

As an extremely hot energy surged through his throat into his abdomen, the remaining blood-colored layer covering Yun Tianming's body shattered completely. His clothes burst into flames, and he turned into a green fire person on the spot!

Inside Yun Tianming's body, the Sixth Grade Pill, Bloody Imprisonment, continued to exert its potent medicinal power, condensing a blood membrane within his meridians to resist the burning of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Hoo—!"

Yun Tianming exhaled a hot mist, then with a flick of his fingers, he retrieved several small vials from his Spatial Ring and poured all the blue droplets inside them into his mouth.

This is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring found in the Snake People Tribe's warehouse, sourced from extremely cold regions, with a strong suppressing effect on flames. Queen Medusa had previously collected a large amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring in order to evolve with the power of the Heavenly Flame.

As the bone-chilling cold stream passed through his throat, Yun Tianming felt his throat and respiratory tract freeze, and a crystalline frost formed on his skin and hair.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring flowed into his body, spreading outwards along his meridians, perfectly offsetting the high temperature released by the Green Lotus Core Flame. The sensation of this combination of ice and fire was truly refreshing!

Yun Tianming concentrated his Spirit, urging his Dou Qi to drive the erratic Green Lotus Core Flame along his meridians. However, controlling such naturally violent energy like the Heavenly Flame was not easy. It would occasionally erupt, causing Yun Tianming's blood to surge. If it weren't for the dual protection of Bloody Imprisonment and Ice Spirit Cold Spring, his internal organs would likely have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Under Yun Tianming's persistent efforts, the Green Lotus Core Flame, albeit reluctantly, was encased by Dou Qi and operated along the meridian route of the Flame Mantra. With this step accomplished, the subsequent refining process became much smoother.

Each time the Green Lotus Core Flame operated along the Flame Mantra route, the ferocious energy of the former would be smoothed out to some extent. This was the peculiar aspect of the Qi Method of the Flame Mantra! Like a "Fire Tamer," gradually taming the unruly Heavenly Flame.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

At this moment, the energy of Bloody Imprisonment and Ice Spirit Cold Spring within Yun Tianming's body had been completely depleted. The green flames once again overflowed from his skin pores, but this time, the green flames seemed to have shed their ferocity, burning quietly with a hint of gentleness.

The green flame shroud enveloped Yun Tianming's body like a cocoon, occasionally flickering with green light, as if proclaiming the rebirth through fire, the transformation from cocoon to butterfly.

...

Ten days later.

"Crack~"

A fissure appeared in the green cocoon, rapidly spreading.

"Boom!"

With a crisp sound, the green cocoon burst open, countless tiny energy fragments shooting out in all directions. They landed on rocks, burning through them and leaving large holes. When they fell onto the lake, the entire body of water boiled instantly!

"Finally succeeded!"

The naked youth sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Platform slowly stood up. The fleeting green flames in his eyes were quickly replaced by the calm blackness of a still well.

He stretched his limbs, emitting a comfortable crackling sound. After undergoing the Body-Forging of the Heavenly Flame, it seemed like his muscles and bones had become even stronger.

Yun Tianming clenched his fist and struck out towards the nearby lake.

"Boom!!"

His majestic Dou Qi struck the lake, creating large splashes of water, which then instantly turned into steam under the green flames.

"Dou Qi level, 9 Star Dou Grandmaster."

"Indeed, keeping the Heavenly Flame was the right choice, just for this effect!"

Yun Tianming's face showed joy.

Initially, after obtaining the Green Lotus Core Flame, he didn't rush to refine it immediately. Instead, he waited until he switched to the Flame Mantra Qi Method. By leveraging the characteristics of the Flame Mantra, he achieved a breakthrough in Dou Qi level directly! The key was that the Flame Mantra could absorb the energy of the Heavenly Flame while tempering Dou Qi, thus avoiding the side effects of unstable Dou Qi.

"Flame Mantra, evolved from Yellow Rank High level to Black Rank High level."

By operating the Qi Method, Yun Tianming discovered that the number of newly opened meridians in his body had more than doubled. In terms of Dou Qi quality alone, it was even comparable to the Nourishing Divine Wood Qi Method of Earth Rank Low Level!

"So, the next target is to refine the Sea Heart Flame!"
