357. Chapter 357: Devouring Heavenly Fire

Long Xuan was afraid of burning things when devouring the Heavenly Fire, so he didn't let the Flame Clone complete the devouring of the Heavenly Fire in the space within the Heaven-Devouring World Toad.

After Long Xuan found a random mountain cave in the Thunder Swamp, he decided to let the clone devour the Heavenly Fire in this cave.

He filled the surroundings of the cave with lightning rods and used the Five Elements Reversal Great Array disk to protect the place, which counted as completing the protection work for the seclusion site.

Finally, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out the Ice Cold Divine Flame and the Cold Jade Bed and placed them inside the cave.

The reason why devouring Heavenly Fire is dangerous is that Heavenly Fire is simply too hot. Preparing some very cold things in advance would naturally be able to greatly reduce the danger brought by devouring Heavenly Fire.

He had one last trick up his sleeve; this was the experience he gained when devouring the Ice Cold Divine Flame.

When the Flame Clone was about to be unable to withstand the burning of the fire, he could let all the clones hold hands and use the power of the Five Elements Cycle to jointly resist the fire.

The power generated by the Five Elements Cycle was definitely not as simple as five ones added together equaling five.

At that time, the power of the fire would also be divided by five and jointly borne by the five clones, so the success rate of devouring Heavenly Fire would naturally increase significantly.

Therefore, Long Xuan left all his clones in the cave and gave each of them a Blood Lotus Pill. Fearing the heat himself, he left the cave and watched from a very far distance.

Having made so many preparations, plus the fact that the Sunset Divine Flame was a remnant fire seed, he felt that the success rate of the Flame Clone devouring the Heavenly Fire had already approached infinity.

Therefore, he really wasn't particularly worried about the Flame Clone's safety at this moment.

The Flame Clone had long been accustomed to cultivating while sitting on the Cold Jade Bed. After he sat on it and operated the body-refining cultivation method, he didn't fear the cold of the Cold Jade Bed at all.

At this time, he had already taken off all his clothes and was stark naked.

Anyway, the Heavenly Fire would burn away all his clothes later, so he naturally had no reason to waste another piece of clothing.

After sitting on the cold Cold Jade Bed, he looked at the Sunset Divine Flame fire seed floating in the air, finally stopped hesitating, closed his eyes, and immediately threw the Blood Lotus Pill in his hand into his mouth.

The Blood Lotus Pill melted upon entering his mouth, and the medicinal power seeped from the tip of his tongue into his bone marrow, into his meridians, and into every corner of his body.

Soon, the Flame Clone felt a sharp pain beginning to spread throughout his body, making his body unable to help but tremble.

Immediately afterward, bright red blood began to seep from the surface of his body, and the blood quickly solidified on his body surface, forming patches of blood scabs.

The blood scabs quickly covered his whole body, wrapping him up everywhere. At this time, he had virtually become a blood man.

The places where blood scabs formed were not just inside his body, but also his esophagus, his internal organs, and all places with surfaces inside his body.

At this time, he was protected by blood scabs everywhere. With such a protective effect, the Blood Lotus Pill could be used for far more than just devouring Heavenly Fire. Taking a Blood Lotus Pill during battle to give the whole body extremely high defense would be enough to give any opponent a headache.

However, this was not the end. After the Flame Clone finished taking the Blood Lotus Pill, he summoned the Ice Cold Divine Flame that Long Xuan had thrown into the cave, and then opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the Ice Cold Divine Flame entered his stomach, a layer of blood scabs had just formed on his body surface, and now patches of ice layers began to form, wrapping the blood scabs inside.

At this time, his esophagus had already been covered by ice layers, and every part of his body had been sealed by ice layers.

Long Xuan, watching from a very far distance, nodded. Under these two layers of defense, he really didn't believe he couldn't subdue this Sunset Divine Flame today.

The cultivation process of the second layer of the "Purgatory True Demon Art" is cold air body tempering. The Flame Clone, who had been cultivating on the Cold Jade Bed for years, had already cultivated the second layer of the art to perfection.

At this time, he had already developed extremely high resistance to cold air, so under the double attack of the Cold Jade Bed and the Ice Cold Divine Flame, although many places in the cave had been covered by ice layers, he didn't make a sound.

He beckoned to the Sunset Divine Flame fire seed in the air, and the fire seed, under the guidance of soul power, also flew into his mouth after the Ice Cold Divine Flame.

The fire seed was wrapped in soul power, isolating a considerable part of the fire seed's burning scars, but after passing through the esophagus, it still easily sliced open the ice layers and burned the blood scabs under the ice layers, making him groan in pain.

The Flame Clone hurriedly threw another healing pill into his mouth. The healing pill melted upon entering his mouth, quickly repairing his esophagus that had already been scalded by the fire seed.

"Swallow for me!"

The Flame Clone shouted loudly, his eyes opening wide, and two groups of firelight seemed to be reflected in his eyes.

At the same time, his body surface was instantly wrapped in raging fire, and the ice layers created by the Ice Cold Divine Flame were disintegrated in an instant.

Long Xuan, watching from afar, couldn't help but clench his fists, secretly cheering for his clone in his heart.

Although the Sunset Divine Flame's fire seed was already severely incomplete, the power it emitted still far exceeded his imagination.

The clone tried to use the Ice Cold Divine Flame to resist the power of the Sunset Divine Flame, but the Ice Cold Divine Flame was defeated in an instant.

The power of spirit fire ultimately couldn't contend with Heavenly Fire, even if this was a severely incomplete Heavenly Fire.

At this time, what filled his body was no longer cold, but extreme high temperature.

Fortunately, the blood scabs formed by the Blood Lotus Pill were specifically used to resist Heavenly Fire. This kind of blood scab had a very strong heat-insulating ability, plus the continuous cold air released by the Cold Jade Bed, which ultimately didn't let the Flame Clone be burned to ashes instantly.

But the pain caused by the burning of Heavenly Fire was unavoidable. The burning power of Heavenly Fire would make people suffer pain worse than death. At this time, he let out painful roars from his mouth, relying on his strong willpower, he didn't let himself scream out loud.

At this time, the other clones didn't hesitate either, and one after another threw a Blood Lotus Pill into their mouths. When their body surfaces were all wrapped in thick blood scabs, they rushed forward together, held hands with the Flame Clone, and connected together to jointly share the damage caused by the Heavenly Fire.

The power of the Heavenly Fire also began to be divided by five, burning these five people at the same time, and the pressure on the Flame Clone was greatly reduced for a time.

Under the joint efforts of the five major clones, they could finally contend with the Sunset Divine Flame, and the two sides entered a stalemate for a time.

The Sunset Divine Flame couldn't burn these five people covered in blood scabs to ashes instantly, and the five major clones couldn't refine the Sunset Divine Flame fire seed instantly, so the two sides consumed each other's power.

This was destined to be a protracted war that would take a long time, and the side that exhausted its power would definitely be devoured by the other side.

Long Xuan clicked his tongue as he watched this scene. The power of Heavenly Fire was simply too terrifying. Even though the Sunset Divine Flame's ranking was extremely low, and it was already a remnant seed at this time, and its current power was far less than one-tenth of its peak state, the power it exerted was still too terrifying.

This mountain cave had actually begun to melt slowly under the high temperature. As time passed, this mountain cave was afraid it would be evaporated by the Heavenly Fire, and one could see the dark clouds in the sky directly from inside the cave.

Even though he had made so many preparations, various generous predictions of the enemy, blood scab pills, Ice Cold Divine Flame, Cold Jade Bed, healing pills, anti-high-temperature body-refining cultivation methods, five people sharing the power of Heavenly Fire, Water Bear Gu, Soul Armor, Fire Dragon Fruit's fire-immunity buff...

Under so many means, contending with a mere remnant seed of Heavenly Fire was still a bit of a stretch.

However, how could he know that he was just a small Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator now, and his realm was simply too low.

For someone of such a low realm to devour Heavenly Fire was simply courting death, and it had never happened since ancient times.

He might create a precedent in history and become the first Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator capable of devouring Heavenly Fire. (End of chapter)
