Chapter 1060: Devouring the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire

Boom—

Just as Xiao Yan was wholeheartedly absorbing the energy core inside Xiao Xuan's tomb, far away in a void space deep in the northern region of Zhongzhou, the surroundings were a stretch of flashing lightning and thunder, with fierce winds rising.

However, Lin Feng, floating cross-legged in this void space, did not even glance at the thick dark clouds above, nor at the nine-colored lightning that flickered like a giant dragon within the clouds.

At this moment, all of his attention was drawn to the emerald-green hall before him.

More precisely, it was the dark gray pill inside that great cauldron that attracted him.

After all, he had labored this long just for the Cold Origin Spirit Pill inside the medicine cauldron.

If anything went wrong, he would be furious to death.

Moreover, Dan Chen and Cao Ying had painstakingly managed to obtain these medicinal ingredients.

If he failed, he would have no medicinal ingredients left to refine again.

Especially that yin-cold type magic core inside—he did not use the Nine-turn Dou Zun ice-attribute magic beast magic core that the two women had obtained, but instead threw in the one Qing Lin gave him, taken from the magic core of a high-level Half-Saint Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python.

As for the source of that high-level Half-Saint magic core, needless to say, it was one of the two Half-Saint experts of the Nine Netherworld Earth Abyss Python clan that Zhao Yuan, in his bid to revive himself, had brought Qing Lin to control in the Beast Realm.

Because, in order to revive Zhao Yuan, they had killed that high-level Half-Saint, using his essence blood to revive Zhao Yuan, and gave the magic core to Lin Feng via Qing Lin.

And this time, he used that magic core.

Boom!

The next moment, the nine-colored lightning that had been brewing for a long time in the sky finally fell, blasting straight toward the emerald-green great cauldron before Lin Feng.

However, the awakened Lin Feng did not feel afraid at this sight.

All he did was casually wave his hand, and in an instant, a battered silver-gray puppet shot out explosively.

In the blink of an eye, that sturdy figure vanished into the nine-colored lightning.

After the colored lightning in the sky had raged for a long time, as the dark clouds swiftly dispersed, Lin Feng slightly raised his hand, drawing in the Cold Origin Spirit Pill refined from numerous yin-cold medicinal ingredients and a high-level Half-Saint magic core.

Gazing at the yin-cold power released from over ten centimeters above his palm, wrapped in gray strange fire, which forced him to summon strange fire to resist the eighth-grade peak pill, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with excitement.

"With this, it will help me temporarily suppress the high temperature of the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire, making the whole absorption process much smoother."

Thinking this, he hastily took out a jade bottle, sealed the pill inside, and carefully placed it into his space ring.

Having done that, Lin Feng lightly waved his hand, put away the Dragon Soul Cauldron, then immediately returned along the original route, flying toward the Tianmu Shanmai.

"Huh, Xin Lan has already started charging toward Dou Zun?"

Having returned to the Tianmu Shanmai, when Lin Feng descended several thousand meters, seeing Xin Lan's aura steadily rising within the blue flame wrapping, his heart involuntarily surged with delight.

Earlier, he had worried whether Xin Lan could break through to Dou Zun before the Bodhi Ancient Tree emerged.

Now it looks like this attempt is certain.

After all, Xin Lan already had several Advance-to-Venerable Pills in hand, and besides, the fire-attribute energy in the Tianmu Shanmai is rich to a terrifying degree.

Moreover, for Xin Lan, the energy here can practically be considered endless.

In such an environment, Xin Lan almost cannot fail her breakthrough!

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately smiled and nodded, then continued descending.

Not long after, upon seeing Yun Yun swiftly absorbing surrounding energy under the protection of the azure gale wind, he likewise revealed a satisfied smile.

Now, Yun Yun's strength has already reached four-star Dou Zun.

Furthermore, his wife Yun'er has not yet taken the Heavenly Serpent's blood and bone marrow.

And according to the current situation, even the bone marrow of that female Dou Saint has not been refined.

However, Lin Feng thought that, having been away so long, Cao Ying must have already refined that female Dou Saint's bone marrow and distributed it among all the women in the Tianmu Shanmai.

Thinking this, Lin Feng did not disturb Yun Yun's cultivation, but instead continued descending downward.

And after descending for a while longer, he finally returned once more to the place where the origin fire seed of the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire resides.

"Husband, you're back!"

Accompanied by his unhidden appearance, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who had been cultivating not far from the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire's origin fire seed, quickly ran over, delighted.

"Mm, the pill refinement is complete, so I've come back. After all, it's hard to obtain such a high-level strange fire; it's best to absorb it quickly, lest complications arise."

Hearing that, Lin Feng lightly smiled, brushed his space ring, and took out a jade bottle.

As for his words, Cao Ying and Dan Chen also lightly nodded in agreement, then gave up the idea of being affectionate with their men and quietly retreated to a distance.

At the same time, Lin Feng skillfully pulled out the stopper, poured the pill from the jade bottle, and then directly tossed the bottle back into his space ring.

As soon as this dark gray pill appeared, the surrounding scorching air was instantly suppressed, giving rise to a piercing cold mist.

Needless to say, this pill is naturally the Cold Origin Spirit Pill that Lin Feng had refined earlier!

After glancing at the pill in his hand, he flicked his finger; the Cold Origin Spirit Pill shot out swiftly and precisely flew into the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire's origin fire seed.

As for that Cold Origin Spirit Pill, upon contacting the distant gorgeous deep-red flames, it quickly melted away.

In an instant, layer after layer of ice continually appeared on the flames' surface of the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire.

However, these ice layers, as soon as they appeared, were immediately evaporated by that terrifying high temperature.

Meanwhile, once that layer of ice melted, a new layer of ice would immediately take its place, this cycle continuing without pause.

Naturally, as those bone-chilling ice layers constantly clashed with the violent scorching flames, strands of white mist emitting a hissing sound continually rose from the surface of the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire.

"Great, that pill really does temporarily suppress the origin of that cluster of Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire!"

Seeing this, Cao Ying and Dan Chen in the distance instantly became excited, hugging each other, squeezing each other's big fat lumps, and jumped up excitedly.

"Huu~"

And upon seeing that the nine-colored grade Cold Origin Spirit Pill truly worked, Lin Feng also let out a great sigh of relief.

"Master, master, let's begin—we can only look, not eat, or I'll starve to death!"

However, just as he had sighed in relief, Xiao Ling, seeing that the origin fire seed of the Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire was being suppressed by the ice power, could not help but urge again.

After all, she is truly craving that fire seed!

Hearing that, Lin Feng replied with a helpless shake of his head and a smile: "Alright, Xiao Ling, why the rush? This Scarlet Lotus Karma Fire isn't going anywhere."

Speaking, Lin Feng lifted his foot and suddenly arrived before the crimson lotus karma fire that was fully opposing the ice layer emitted by the Cold Yuan Spirit Pill, his eyes blazing as he stared at this cluster of deep-red flame.

However, don't underestimate this little guy's size—it's not large, only half a meter.

And yet this tiny cluster, if there is no way to suppress this source fire seed, even a Half-Saint expert, if one carelessly lets it burrow into the body, is highly likely to end up dead.

Boom!

And just then, Lin Feng extended his hand, and suddenly with a bang, his palm was enveloped by a thick mass of gray strange fire.

Afterward, under the worried gazes of Cao Ying and Dan Chen, he thrust one hand into that deep-red strange fire and grasped its essence.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The moment Lin Feng's hand, wrapped in strange fire, grasped the source fire seed of the crimson lotus karma fire, the temperature of the deep-red fire seed surged dramatically.

The next instant, the source fire seed itself expanded its volume by several times!

Even Lin Feng's palm, wrapped in strange fire, instantly felt an excruciating pain.

Holy shit, worthy of being the eighth-ranked strange fire on the list—this power is just superb!

The sudden intense pain made Lin Feng involuntarily blurt out a curse.

However, his hand holding the fire seed did not loosen; instead, he clenched his teeth, bore the pain, took a small jade bottle from his space ring, and used his Dou Qi to pull out the stopper.

As the stopper left the jade bottle, a strong chill instantly permeated out.

In the scorching volcano, he forcibly created a cold region!

However, Lin Feng had no leisure to worry about that; after opening the jade bottle, he quickly placed it before this bewitching fire seed and dropped a drop of the heavenly snake blood inside.

Sizzle!

As that drop of scarlet blood fell, instantly the terrifying high temperature emanating from the crimson lotus karma fire's source seed on his hand rapidly dropped by half.

As the temperature dropped, Lin Feng's palm became much more bearable.

Immediately, he seized the opportunity, without needing anyone's urging, snatched the fire seed lightning-fast and threw it into his mouth, swallowing it.

Boom!

Suddenly entering a strange space, the crimson lotus karma fire within Lin Feng's body immediately began to churn.

Hiss, damn it hurts—since I became a bit stronger, I haven't felt this in a long time!

Feeling that like a red-hot poker constantly moving the crimson lotus karma fire through his meridians, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and cursed in pain.

However, although he cursed, his body did not stop refining; instead, he hurriedly forced control of the crimson lotus karma fire seed within him, following the Burning Technique's cultivation route, constantly moving it.

Hehe, to increase my strength, I've endured all kinds of hardship; this bit of pain cannot stop me!

Gritting his teeth against the pain, Lin Feng immediately began urging Xiao Ling in his mind, saying: "Little guy, quickly mobilize the strange fire to help me protect the vital spots; this Half-Saint-level crimson lotus karma fire is truly not something to be taken lightly."

"Master, I'll take care of this. You focus entirely on refining the crimson lotus karma fire. When it approaches me, just let me handle it."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Ling nodded heavily.

Immediately, she hurriedly mobilized the strange fire to protect the master's organs as much as possible.

Of course, while she was working, his gaze never left the crimson lotus karma fire!

However, Lin Feng now naturally had no time to worry about those; after feeling his internal pain lessen a bit, he hurriedly used his Dou Qi to forcefully drive the source of the crimson lotus karma fire, refining it.

Boom! Boom!

Facing the refinement of the Burning Decision, the spirit-filled source of the crimson lotus karma fire also seemed to sense something, and then struggled even more violently.

Meanwhile, the temperature on that fire seed that makes one grit his teeth grew increasingly terrifying!

Before long, even Xiao Ling, who was tasked with protecting Lin Feng's meridians and organs, began to feel strained.

After all, facing a full-strength backlash from a Half-Saint-level strange fire, even she, as strong as one who has fused several strange fires, had no choice but to extend her efforts.

However, fortunately, with the help of the heavenly snake blood and the chill from the earlier nine-colored pill, Xiao Ling was able to keep the situation under control.

Otherwise, Xiao Ling might really have messed up.
