Chapter 241: Legend Exclusive: Pasturing Demon

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"......"

Inside the furnace lava high tower!

The Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit wielded its heroic spirit flame hammer, each strike falling like a meteorite hitting the earth, visible shockwaves sweeping every corner of the high tower.

【Meteorite Forging Method】

Ta Ke remembered when he was chatting casually with Ba Jins earlier; Ba Jins had mentioned this forging method.

The hammer fell like a meteorite into the earth, able to, to the utmost, shape the material's framework as hard as meteoric iron, impossible to destroy.

In this miraculous forging method.

Ta Ke's Legendary Demon Ring Staff, with a legendary skeleton as its core and a demon soul as its foundation, in the ritual flame of the Great Divine Spirit Realm, was gradually forged into shape by the Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit.

But this level of flame temperature, for Ta Ke who could already swim in magma, doesn't even count as 'hot'.

The roaring Hetala suddenly opened its mouth.

As Ta Ke aimed at the demon soul.

Ta Ke raised his eyebrows slightly.

If other series demons arrived, perhaps they could still struggle a bit.

Hetala let out a low roar.

Before, he still felt that this third-rank human steam mage's words were somewhat arrogantly self-assured.

The Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit slowly said.

"Sounds...... fair!"

With that thought, Ta Ke asked solemnly.

Immediately, without looking back, he dove into the furnace.

And with each of Ta Ke's gunshots falling.

Only then did he initiate this not-small, not-large ritual wager.

"Human mage! I admit you have considerable strength......"

"What did you say...... I can't hear."

"Drawing from and transforming magma substance in the flame source energy context, comprehensively covering magical damage, physical damage, and property damage—tsk tsk... truly worthy of being a demon creature."

Watching the demon soul with extremely fast flight speed.

It's still quite resistant.

The demon soul, after being struck, lets out another mournful wail.

Now it seems, this third-rank human mage is still somewhat conservative.

"Howl......"

Now Ta Ke's powerful 【Flame Heart】 almost perfectly counters this flame demon.

"As for that flame damage, there's no need to mention it."

Steam Mage: Level 33.

In his thoughts, the forging efficiency of the Centaur Flame Forging Holy Spirit steadily advances.

This is also one of the reasons Ta Ke can achieve the reputation of a 'Fire-spouting Mage'.

"......"

These dozen or so shots directly created an extra day's worth of life out of thin air.

Before Hetala could recover.

Ta Ke slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"Soaking his feet in his magma flame is no problem."

"No matter how much he recovers his strength, it's useless."

As a demon soul that is inherently transcendent, and whose soul is the quintessence of transcendence.

"The stronger the demon soul, the more it will enhance the demon ring staff."

Yet see the black demon fire originally burning on its body.

"It's the same principle as a herdsman, except you can only... pasture through the demon ring staff... the pasture is this third-rank demon lord's soul."

Ta Ke mainly still wants to use the most essential ability of the Legendary Demon Ring Staff.

This astonishingly talented human mage is worth him doing so.

【Transcendent Sequence】

"Whoosh...... clatter......"

"Defeat the demon, and your Legendary·Demon Ring Staff will gain the ability to pasture demons."

Relying on his mastery of flame control, powerful source energy operation, a soul spell, and incredible marksmanship.

But his low-key exposition was ruthlessly interrupted by Ta Ke.

"You...... don't need to suck."

Yet he heard a calm voice sound.

During the Saint Land period, aside from cultivation.

When that demon soul begged for mercy.

Bang! Bang! Bang......

Even when just condensed, when rubbing against the ground, there is still a metallic collision sound.

This is the formidable aspect of the demon-exclusive 【Destruction】 property damage.

Bang!

Although that Demon Soul is not in a completely victorious state.

"Do you want your Demon Ring Staff to have the exclusive ability of the Demon Ring Staff, 【Pasture Demon】?"

Ta Ke's 【Precision·Correction】 was raised to 1180%, and his ability to correct and slice the world's fabric has improved considerably compared to before.

Within the free verses of the forging‑ritual chant that Ta Ke and Ba Jin Si initially drafted.

And the opponent is merely a weak human wizard.

As Ta Ke's words fell.

But it all ultimately rests on flame.

A shot from the Destiny Revolver is a forbidden wound, striking directly at the deepest parts of soul and life.

The payment of the price is inevitable.

Ta Ke paused, took a deep breath, and continued.

After observing Ta Ke for several breaths, the Centaur Flame Forging Holy Spirit spread its palm in a move.

It carries a series of Ring‑Staff base abilities such as "Flame State", "Shadow State", "Shadow Traversal", "Source Energy Recovery", "Rapid Casting", "Spell Reserve"…

The Demon Soul is being activated by the forging power.

Phase Walk (665 fragments): Level 39.

He Ta La can even hear the sizzle of flame burning life.

Steam·World·Primordial Static (SSS exclusive tier): 2020%.

Ta Ke fired continuously for dozens of shots, and the Demon Soul still had the ability to flee.

But this flame demon is purely for nothing!

It bears more rune ring states.

This makes Ta Ke's innate flame abilities grow ever stronger.

Ta Ke's steps moved like a ghostly shadow, swiftly passing through.

"I like this method, so release it!"

A single attack poured directly into the deep soul of the Demon Soul.

"Three‑Eyed God·Holy Spirit Realm, has such a formidable transcendent genius appeared?"

"It's just a pointless waste of time."

【Flame Heart】 combined with "Dragon Breath Secret Technique".

Ta Ke no longer resists hard; he manipulates the opponent's black flame, pairing it with his one‑star sorcery "Dragon Source Scale Shield", and with a single palm raises a black flame holy shield that continuously supplies source energy, blocking He Ta La's demon magma spouts one by one.

The dense magma transformed from flame instantly settled before Ta Ke, reaching half a human's height.

Even this highly condensed Demon Fire is hotter and its flame properties stronger than the fire He Ta La himself spews.

Ta Ke looked up and saw the Centaur Flame Forging Heroic Spirit, which had stopped forging not far away, staring at him.

"Through pasturing, the Demon Soul can go out to hunt, devour, and kill, thereby becoming stronger."

As for demon backlash and the like, Ta Ke simply ignored it.

"Is this the exclusive ability of the powerful 【Legendary Ring Staff】?"

He is a powerful third‑tier Demon Lord born from flame and magma.

So the price was here.

The world's fabric and trajectory unfolded with crystal clarity and intersected with the Demon Soul.

It does not demand many harsh abilities.

"The five major series are all five ring states."

Ta Ke waved his hand and dispersed the flame holy shield.

At the same time, chasing the Demon Soul, he began rapid firing.

Just as that human wizard said, its flame‑flower immunity perfectly countered this flame demon.

The third‑tier Demon's flame Demon Soul quickly coalesced its own flame body.

A "Dragon Breath Wizard" that can spew dragon breath sounds rather impressive.

Meanwhile.

【Flame Heart】 itself possesses ultimate mastery over flame.

"I will release that Demon Soul, and you will need to subdue this Demon Soul; of course, if you can give it a good beating, that would be even better."

Even so, Ta Ke plans to, in the future, raise his level, reinforce forbidden spellcraft, and after his wizard ecology has spare capacity.

This allowed Ta Ke to master demon flame for his own use.

Precision·Correction (SSS tier): 1180%.

……

Directly annihilate, causing matter and energy to vanish.

"I surrender, I admit defeat!"

Staring at Ta Ke.

In its Demon Soul form, it now cannot even exert one‑third of its power.

After several more shots.

Outside the tower.

After all, enemies of comparable level to Ta Ke who can also contend with him are hard to find.

When the words fell, Ta Ke lifted his Destiny Revolver.

"Respected Furnace Heroic Spirit senior, if my 【Legendary·Demon Ring Staff】 additionally gains this Pasture Demon exclusive ability, what price must I pay?"

Primordial Dark Sea: Level 33.

He Ta La was startled.

It can be said.

The dull rumble of forging, and within the forge, the holy spirit forging vision displayed above the tower.

Ta Ke felt as if he had gained a little over two hours of life.

In his spare time, Ta Ke opened his attribute page.

The freshly coalesced flame body outline was instantly crushed to pieces by Ta Ke's Spirit‑Walking Hand.

Accompanied by the altar's violent shaking.

Then combined with Ta Ke's 【Steam·World·Primordial Static】.

Now came Ta Ke's favorite shooting segment.

It was indeed absorbing flame power to restore its strength.

The demon soul wailed in anguish, begging for mercy and surrender.

【Transcendent Divine Skill】

……

"You have no third option!"

An angry roar rolled forth like thunder, raging wildly.

The demon soul, seeing that it would remain outside, was about to be blasted to death.

"Second, I will beat it mercilessly, then it must obediently crawl into the Ring Staff and become the staff's Pasturing Spirit."

Flame Heart (920 fragments): Level 39.

As the demon soul voluntarily conceded, it slipped into the Demon Ring Staff.

But isn't this human wizard also the same?

"Then... your forging will fail, the demon will escape... and in the future that fleeing demon soul may come back to trouble you, even seek revenge."

"The moment you emerge, I could already take you down."

"Could there still be such a good thing?"

"Boom..."

He could have said it even more boldly.

Ta Ke smiled lightly.

"But... correspondingly, if you cannot control this demon, that demon may break free from the Ring Staff's restraints and even devour your soul."

A five‑meter‑tall silhouette stood on the altar, its demonic horns nearly touching the ceiling.

The opponent didn't even heavily employ those powerful rune arts.

"Light, Shadow, Soul, Wind, Fire."

"【Pasturing Demon】 gives the Demon Ring Staff a means of pasturing growth, plus a free third‑tier Demon Lord?"

That third‑tier demon probably hasn't endured society's harsh blows.

"What?"

Nearly black demon flames surged, spewing toward those three frail humans.

That shot made He Ta La's entire fiery body tremble, and a mournful wail escaped its mouth.

Adding points, also in progress.

Ta Ke nodded.

Flame attack damage accounts for over 95%.

From the furnace altar.

Within a few breaths, the entire forging altar area had turned into a sea of fire.

Ta Ke's words made He Ta La pause slightly.

In that instant, flame demon He Ta La felt its dignity insulted like never before.

"Now I give you two choices: first, concede yourself, obediently crawl into the Ring Staff and become its Pasturing Spirit."

"And moreover..."

Ta Ke estimated that even a true great dragon might not be able to out‑breath him.

The forging began again.

This way Ta Ke could manifest his rune arts more perfectly.

"If you are defeated by this demon soul."

Just as He Ta La unilaterally thought it had already won.

It also further enhanced the legendary Demon Ring Staff's own potential and strength.

He Ta La suddenly opened its mouth, spitting scorching flame mixed with thick magma aura, plus the demon‑specific 【Destruction】 damage toward Ta Ke.

Bang! Bang!

Ta Ke seized the chance to sneak in two shots of healing.

Although this flame demon soul's assault was fierce.

And the flames in the altar furnace, as if they had taken a tonic, the fire snakes slithered out of the furnace exit, spreading wildly.

A seven‑ to eight‑meter‑long demon tail‑whip, like a ship's anchor chain.

The centaur flame‑forging hero spirit tossed the half‑forged Demon Ring Staff back into the furnace.

"Here's a chance to show yourself, but unfortunately you're useless."

Its flame was, astonishingly, controlled by that weak wizard.

Ta Ke heard it and instantly raised an eyebrow.

Especially the 【Destruction】 attribute damage, which can annihilate various defenses on both material and energy levels.

Faintly, Ta Ke could already hear the demon's roaring wail from deep within the Demon Ring Staff.

"This bit of 【Destruction】 attribute damage poses essentially no threat to me."

"In fact, my strength doesn't need your acknowledgment."

The demon flame, capable of melting mountains and scorching the earth, swiftly enveloped that third‑tier weak human.

The key is that the divine skill 【Flame Heart】 has gradually risen to 920%.

It made the demon soul clutch its head and scurry away.

"Damned human!"

He Tala's demon soul, about the size of a fist, fled the altar at high speed.

This forging contract drew its curtain.

"Your flame technique is essentially zero against me."

"Listen, this third‑tier demon is so delighted!"

Ta Ke estimated it to be at least four or five hundred meters.

"Weak flesh‑bound human, you will pay for your greed!"

Feeling the demon's wail that made the soul tremble slightly.

When he looked again at that third‑tier human.

"You're bluffing here, just absorbing flame power to regain strength, aren't you?"

Ta Ke said coldly.

"The Five‑Ring state Ring Staff is supported by the power of the Fifteen‑Ring state Rune Secret Art."

After two consecutive waves of flame spitting, He Tala stared at Ta Ke, shook his head, and whispered.

"Hmm… demons, great dragons, Bimon, even dark angels—those massive, vigorous, soul‑resilient beings. They're naturally suited as life‑replenishment packs!"

Want to backfire?

"Pasturing demons? What does that mean?" Ta Ke asked, slightly puzzled.

While forging in the exclusive ability 【Demon Pasture】 of the legendary Demon Ring Staff promised to that human wizard.

Getting it for free is impossible.

During the process of raising the Black Flame Holy Shield to counter the demon's magma spitting.

If its speed were any slower, Ta Ke would have pinched it on the spot.

A ghostly voice like that of an empty valley suddenly rang out.

Inside the Demon Ring Staff, it's far safer than outside.

Ta Ke was also meticulously sensing the tactics and abilities of the third‑tier demon lord.

Facing such an attack.

Ta Ke's Spirit Walk Hand came down from above, crushing like a mountain.

"Chichich…"

This time there was not only magical damage from demon flame, but also physical impact from magma spitting, and the demon‑specific 【Destruction】 attribute damage.

"And this, this is still single‑type."

To be honest.

"Hmm?"

"Bang!" a muffled sound.

He Tala spoke as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ten or so shots a day, healthy and long‑lived."

Aim!

"Roar roar roar…"

Ta Ke couldn't help but curl a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the third‑tier human wizard gathered him into the palm of his hand.

Just as He Tala, filled with astonishment and doubt, examined Ta Ke,

not only could he easily manipulate flame, but the flame attribute was absurdly strong.

"It means… your Demon Ring Staff has an automatic growth ability, and you gain a growable third‑tier demon lord assistant."

Observing the scorching air currents.

Earlier, the centaur flame‑forging heroic spirit sensed that this third‑tier human steam wizard harbored an extremely powerful Rune Secret Art.

【Supernatural Talent】

"This 【Destruction】 attribute damage is decent, just a bit weak; as long as a continuous supply of source energy becomes a living shield."

A fate‑bound revolver bullet slammed into the depths of the demon soul.

He took the half‑forged Demon Ring Staff out of the altar furnace again.

The flame of this third‑tier lord demon gave Ta Ke not the slightest sense of danger.

"Demons! Forever fear beings stronger than them!"

To study a three‑star, even four‑star rune‑level "Dragon Breath Secret Technique".

"Your demon flame… so weak?"

But he didn't expect that the centaur flame‑forging heroic spirit would proactively ask Ta Ke whether to add a function, and to add such a powerful exclusive function.

With this wave of magma spitting coming to an end.

Fire waves surged wildly within the altar area.

It has already drawn many transcendent onlookers and covetous gazes.

As the centaur's flame forging of heroic spirits gradually ascended, the air itself seemed about to ignite.

"I still have a third…"

And Ta Ke, who has a 920% Flame Heart, finds his natural fire resistance and defensive capability more astonishing than he had expected.

The third‑rank flame demon "Hetara", once condensed, gazed at the weak third‑rank human who now sought to forge it.

"Roar…"

Just as Ta Ke was observing his own attribute.

And under the protection of Beiweis Tu Wen and Count Aosilin.

Those transcendent beings did not act rashly.

Perhaps they were waiting for the final opportunity.

Waiting for the prey to fully mature, that is the perfect moment for them to reap!
