Chapter 116: Refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame! Four-Star Dou Zun!

"Child, are you certain you can refine it?"

In the ancient, simple great hall, Gu Lie asked with concern after learning of Gu Fei's intentions.

Standing beside Gu Lie, the Ancient Clan Dou Sheng expert Gu Xiong was also frowning.

It was he who had helped Gu Fei suppress the Three Thousand Burning Flame that day, which was how they had brought it back.

He had witnessed the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame with his own eyes and knew its severity; ordinary Dou Zun experts could not even shake the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

"You must think clearly before refining it. The Three Thousand Burning Flame is not like the Exotic Fires you refined before; those were at most at the Dou Zong level, but the Three Thousand Burning Flame is a genuine high-level Dou Zun!"

Gu Xiong spoke to warn Gu Fei, but Gu Fei just smiled slightly, full of confidence.

"Rest assured! Since I dare to do this, I have the confidence to subdue it!"

Seeing Gu Fei's confident smile, Gu Lie and the others said no more. After once again urging Gu Fei to be careful, they prepared to deal with the Exotic Fire.

Next, Gu Xiong released the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and the manic fire-attribute energy instantly spread throughout the entire space of the great hall.

The imprisoned Three Thousand Burning Flame was incomparably furious and had originally wanted to cause destruction.

But there were a great many Dou Sheng experts present, and feeling the powerful pressure from Gu Lie and the others, the Three Thousand Burning Flame felt a wave of despair.

"Do it, just don't kill it!"

Following this, several Dou Sheng experts attacked simultaneously, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame was instantly beaten like a worm, with not a shred of dragon might left.

After they had severely wounded the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Gu Fei prepared to make his move!

He tossed out the jade bottle given by Zi Yan, smashing it against the forehead of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

When the dark golden blood in the jade bottle stained the forehead of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, its body suddenly stiffened, and the luster in its eyes became dull at this moment.

At the same time, a strange rune appeared faintly on its forehead; looking at the shape of the rune, it was exactly the same as the Dragon Seal on Gu Fei's palm!

"It really is the Dragon Seal!"

Gu Fei murmured in his heart.

A sensation of scorching heat spread through his palm.

Gu Fei raised his hand, and the place where Zi Yan had previously bestowed the Dragon Seal upon him emitted a blinding golden light, which resonated with the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A thunderous sound rang out in Gu Fei's mind, and he was shocked to discover that the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame had actually invaded his mind.

Looking down at the Dragon Seal on his hand again, he immediately understood what was happening.

The function of the Dragon Seal was mutual; he used the Dragon Seal to control the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Likewise, the Three Thousand Burning Flame could also use its Dragon Seal to control him.

What had invaded Gu Fei's mind was precisely the soul power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame; it wanted to turn Gu Fei into its Puppet!

"A battle of souls? Let's see if you have the ability!"

Gu Fei channeled his soul power to strike at the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame's entire body was once again suffused with purple-black flames, roaring madly.

On Gu Fei's side, the temperature of the Dragon Seal in his palm grew higher, and suddenly he felt his spirit go into a trance; the next second, he appeared in a strange space filled with black flames.

Here, the Three Thousand Burning Flame transformed into a giant dragon with a body of purple-black flames. The dragon breathed, and scorching air currents rushed toward Gu Fei, constantly consuming his soul power.

Seeing this, Gu Fei hurriedly channeled his Exotic Fire to raise an Exotic Fire barrier, isolating the hot breath.

Clearly, the Three Thousand Burning Flame intended to crush his soul here.

"You wicked beast, surrender obediently!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Hearing Gu Fei's contemptuous address, the Three Thousand Burning Flame roared in a rage, and the scalding magma flames in the space surged into the sky, covering the entire space above Gu Fei's head.

Facing the surging flames, Gu Fei's expression also grew a few degrees more solemn at this moment.

He fused his Exotic Fire into his soul, and an Exotic Fire barrier completely isolated the purple-black sea of fire.

As the sea of fire continuously impacted the Exotic Fire barrier, ripples appeared on it.

Gu Fei stood within it, and the strange earth beneath his feet shook constantly under the churning of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, yet Gu Fei's figure remained unmoved.

Seeing that this could not do anything to Gu Fei, the Three Thousand Burning Flame spiraled into the air, flames gathered at its dragon mouth, and the originally purple-black flames became as dark as the night.

"Roar!"

The flames finished gathering, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame sprayed them directly at Gu Fei's Exotic Fire barrier; a black pillar of fire, like a collapsing pillar supporting the sky, shot toward Gu Fei.

Gu Fei's Exotic Fire barrier was swallowed by the fire pillar almost instantly, and the air became twisted and hideous as the fire pillar shot through.

The spraying of the fire pillar lasted for nearly half an incense stick's time. The Three Thousand Burning Flame felt this was not enough; the fire pillar vanished, and it plummeted violently, suddenly twisting its body in mid-air to lash out at Gu Fei's position with its dragon tail.

The already unstable space completely collapsed under this tail lash, appearing in ripples of nothingness.

But this tail lash from the Three Thousand Burning Flame did not hit anything!

"You wicked beast, have you hit enough? It's my turn!"

Gu Fei's voice suddenly rang out above the Three Thousand Burning Flame's head. The moment the Three Thousand Burning Flame sprayed the fire pillar, he had vanished from his original spot and arrived behind the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame had already been severely wounded, and now that it had consumed some of its power, it was the best time for him to strike!

"Get down!"

Gu Fei shouted angrily, and his palm, carrying the sound of a dragon's roar, became larger than the Three Thousand Burning Flame's dragon body under the manifestation of his soul power.

He waved his hand, and his palm slapped directly onto the Three Thousand Burning Flame, slamming it into the ground.

"If you were in perfect condition, I might be wary of you, but you are too weak now!"

"Rise!"

Gu Fei shouted loudly, and a monstrous sea of fire rose up in the space.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Fei arrived in front of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, pouring all his vigorous soul power into the Dragon Seal in his palm.

Seeing this, the Three Thousand Burning Flame was greatly alarmed.

Its body shook violently, and it actually split into countless small fire dragons to pounce on Gu Fei.

Unfortunately, it was already too late to remedy the situation.

Gu Fei extended his palm, which was engraved with the Dragon Seal, and golden light burst forth from the seal, instantly swallowing all the small fire dragons that were lunging at him.

It even dragged the main body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame right in front of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei grabbed the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and the Dragon Seal emitted a low dragon roar, shattering the phantom form of the Three Thousand Burning Flame to reveal its original fiery appearance, its intelligence completely erased at this moment.

"Rest assured, following me will not disgrace your reputation on the Exotic Flame Ranking."

Gu Fei whispered to himself.

Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the purple-black fire dragon into his belly.

Once the source fire entered his body, a scorching heat quietly spread from within, and Gu Fei quickly sat down cross-legged.

This time, refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame took a full three months.

When Gu Fei emerged from seclusion, his cultivation had soared directly to a Four-Star Dou Zun.

"Four-Star Dou Zun..."

"To think that devouring an Exotic Fire has such an effect; in three months, crossing from a newly-advanced Two-Star Dou Zun to a Four-Star is truly astonishing..."

Seeing this scene, some of the Ancient Clan elders who had been guarding Gu Fei while he refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame all wore expressions of surprise.
