Chapter 335: One Day Journey in the Primordial World (2)

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The baleful auras in the ground rose amidst the fire, incinerating everything. It turned into flame currents when in contact with the rocks and was also known as the Stonefire!

The flames spurting out from this volcano weren’t ordinary flames. They were born from great baleful auras that had melted into the flames.

The flames were demonic.

Recalling the alchemy records, he immediately recognized that this was the rare Earthfiend True Fire.

This kind of flames didn’t have an excellent fire prowess, but it was considered top-grade flames in alchemy.

Medicine refining was an art that changed destinies. It wasn’t a case where the higher the temperature, the better it would be. It required a balance to be able to produce endless profoundness.

Take for example the Golden Crow True Fire that was also called the Great Solar Fire. It was the flames with the highest temperature in the world, but its fire prowess was too domineering and it incinerated everything. Once something landed within it, they would be instantly turned into ashes, let alone spiritual medicine.

Although it had strong prowess, it was difficult to be used in alchemy.

The Earthfiend True Fire’s prowess wasn’t strong, but it was reserved and scorching. It flowed like water and burned slowly without damaging the item’s essential qualities. It allowed the user to extract the medicinal essence of ingredients, capable of stimulating the medicinal prowess to the greatest level.

Feng Lin was still troubled over not having a True Fire then he found one so quickly.

It didn’t take any effort at all.

Feng Lin was secretly surprised as well.

There would definitely be things that were inevitable amidst coincidences.

In the declining Interstellar Era, there were extremely few True Fires existing. It was an extremely difficult task to locate them.

However, in the primordial times where there was plenty of spiritual qi, spiritual objects could be seen everywhere.

True Fires were everywhere just like ordinary flames. They weren’t worth anything at all.

This volcano that was several ten thousand meters tall erupted and all of the flames were Earthfiend True Fire. The flame currents seethed and fire gushed out from the volcano’s mouth. From afar, it looked like a huge torch, illuminating the sky.

Black smoke seethed, burning up all the oxygen in the air. Just getting close would make one feel out of breath.

Feng Lin didn’t back off but advance instead. He rode on the clouds and got closer toward the volcano.

His spirit force slashed down fiercely like a sword, immediately scattering the black smoke. A pool of flames appeared before him. The flames seethed incessantly like tidal waves and were a purplish-red color. The scene was like hell.

Even with Feng Lin’s Stone Monkey Body, he didn’t dare to enter the flames personally when the temperature was so high.

True Fire and ordinary flames were different.

Ordinary flames were just the energy status that was formed when particles spurted out. They didn’t have any material form.

True Fire, on the other hand, possessed a material form and had both the attributes of matter and energy. They also possessed mysterious powers.

The Earthfiend True Fire in this volcano would melt even an entire space shuttle into dregs if it were to fly inside.

No matter how strong Feng Lin’s body was, it wasn’t able to go up against the prowess of the heavens and earth.

If he wished to subdue it completely, he’d have to extract the True Fire’s fire seed.

Only when the fire seed was in one’s hands would the person be able to control it freely.

However, fire seeds were hidden in the depths of True Fires. It was very hard to capture them without unique means.

Feng Lin tried sending out his spirit force, but the moment it entered, he could feel a scorching temperature incinerating his spirit force completely.

Spirit force had no shape or material and tended to have no issues advancing forth. However, this was the first time it had become ineffective, being unable to even go inside the flames. It was wishful talk to be wanting to force a path through the flames.

Feng Lin was unable to think of any plans at the moment, and he just stood above the pool of flames, not knowing where to start.

Feng Lin’s fingers stroked the two rings he had, and he was suddenly struck with an idea.

How could he forget that he still had an amazing divine item—the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel?!

This metal cudgel’s legacy was from the ancient mythological ages, and its source was unknown. It didn’t experience any corrosion over the countless years, could change its size freely, and supported an entire huge continent.

Until now, Feng Lin had yet to study all of its secrets entirely.

Although this Earthfiend True Fire was blazing hot, it couldn’t melt the Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel.

Grow, grow, grow!

With a single thought from Feng Lin, the metal cudgel grew bigger and soon exceeded 100 meters in length. It pierced fiercely through the flames like a huge heavenly pillar and kept on stirring non-stop.

Like a god that had disturbed the seas, the flowing flames formed a huge whirlpool, spinning non-stop and releasing swooshing sounds. An empty area was gradually exposed in the middle, revealing the interior of the flames.

However, the depth of this pool of flames was really beyond his imagination. It was at least several hundred meters.

Feng Lin took in a deep breath of air, summoned all of his strength, and stirred.

The flaming whirlpool got increasingly bigger, slapping against the cliffs around the volcano, melting the rocks, and flowing everywhere.

However, Feng Lin didn’t turn his eyes away. He merely stared at the bottom of the whirlpool. Suddenly, a stretch of purple color appeared before his eyes, as bright as the stars.

He focused his vision and saw a pure purple-colored lotus flower with 18 petals drifting at the very bottom of the flames. It bloomed there by itself, away from the world.

Each petal was formed from pure purple-colored flames. It was essentially immaterial but seemed as if it had a material body.

“This is the Earthfiend True Fire’s fire seed!” Feng Lin was overjoyed and he immediately sent his spirit force extending over, forming invisible hands and wanting to grab it across space. However, his spirit force was incinerated completely.

(This can’t go on!)

Feng Lin recalled the method of subduing True Fires that was recorded in alchemy.

He kept on forming seals with his hands like butterflies darting amongst the flowers. His spirit force started to change as his hands moved, forming many layers and materializing into a sphere that was bundled up tightly. Golden light condensed in the middle, forming an ancient rune. It was the word ‘assimilate’.

The spiritual sphere landed onto the fire lotus and started to burn up immediately and rapidly. It was being depleted non-stop and becoming increasingly smaller in size.

Drops of cold sweat flowed down Feng Lin’s forehead.

It felt extremely strenuous. The heat from the fire lotus was far too domineering and it wasn’t a simple task to subdue it.

However, the more this was so, the more he mustn’t have any delays.

He gritted his teeth and sent all of his spirit force gushing into the small spirit sphere. It was as if a round metal egg was severely scorched, but it still protected the rune in the core, preventing it from being damaged.

In the end, when there was only a faint layer of it left, the rune finally landed into the fire lotus. It suddenly burst out in light, and the scattered flames were subdued and assimilated, immediately becoming tame like a sheep.

Feng Lin suddenly felt that he had formed a bright, divine connection with the fire lotus. With just a single thought, he would be able to command it like it was his own arm.

With a wave of his hand, the amount of force he released dropped. The flame currents in the surroundings gushed over, instantly scattering the whirlpool.

However, Feng Lin wasn’t concerned at all. With a slight smile, he put out his hand and beckoned.

Swoosh.

A fire lotus burst out through the flames and landed in his hand, floating quietly as if it was material.

The fire prowess was restrained and it didn’t harm him in the slightest.

Feng Lin smiled. This thing might appear normal, but as long as the fire seed was around, it would be able to materialize True Fire by consuming Feng Lin’s energy. It would incinerate everything and had all sorts of wonderful uses.

Withdraw!

He suddenly formed seals with his hand, and the fire lotus suddenly contracted in size, entering the top of his head. A purple lotus print appeared on his forehead, adding a hint of mystery to his elegant face and making him appear like a celestial.

Feng Lin closed his eyes and sensed quietly. Suddenly, his eyes opened and violet flame flashed from within.

He formed seals with both hands, making them appear like blooming lotus flower.

“Fire, come!”

Bang!

A ball of flames silently shot out from his palms, burning by itself and freely taking the forms of various shapes: fowls and beasts, flowers, birds, fish, bugs… There was no end to what form it could take.

A hint of understanding rose in Feng Lin’s heart.

He had finally subdued the True Fire completely!
