As the Black Flame devoured the Falling Heart Flame into his body, Fang Yang's body suddenly trembled violently.
An unprecedented burning sensation instantly swept through his entire body, as if every inch of his flesh and blood was being incinerated and reshaped by a raging fire.
He gritted his teeth, his forehead instantly covered in fine beads of sweat, which then instantly evaporated into white mist in the high temperature.
"Is this… the heart fire tempering of the Falling Heart Flame…?"
Fang Yang gritted his teeth and roared in his mind, his voice trembling slightly from the intense pain.
He now clearly understood the terrifying nature of this strange flame.
Born from the heart, it tempers Qi and refines bones, not only constantly exercising the internal heart fire but also capable of incinerating enemies from the inside out.
Although this was his fifth time devouring a strange flame, the pain had not lessened; instead, it became even more intense due to the unique properties of the Falling Heart Flame.
This strange flame not only scorched the flesh but also directly tempered the Soul, bringing a double dose of extreme torment.
His body trembled continuously under the tempering of the Falling Heart Flame, his Qi and blood surged like boiling magma, and his mental force fluctuated violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
His entire being felt as if he were in a volcano, surrounded by endless magma and flames.
Time became blurred in this extreme pain; the concepts of minutes and hours completely vanished.
Fang Yang could only instinctively maintain consciousness, holding onto the last shred of clarity amidst the pain.
He didn't know how long passed, perhaps an incense stick's worth of time, perhaps several hours.
The violent Falling Heart Flame within his body finally began to gradually recede.
"Falling Heart Flame, successfully devoured!"
Fang Yang felt the surging strange flame energy within his body, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
With the devouring of the Falling Heart Flame, his spirit power Rank steadily rose to fifty-five.
As for the other portion of energy, it was all absorbed by his Soul Core, making the Soul Core even more solid and emitting a faint fiery glow.
"Next, it's time to refine the Falling Heart Flame."
Fang Yang took a deep breath, enduring the residual pain in his body, and immersed his entire mind within himself.
He controlled the flame to slowly move into his Meridians, beginning to circulate along the Cultivation Technique route of the Burning Art.
Under the absolute suppression of the Black Flame, the Falling Heart Flame had almost no power to resist.
The refining process, which was originally expected to be difficult, turned out to be much smoother than imagined.
When the last trace of the Falling Heart Flame was completely refined, Fang Yang's Burning Art Cultivation Technique also naturally advanced to the Heaven Rank mid-level.
Next, he was going to begin the Fusion of the five strange flames.
"Let's begin!"
As Fang Yang's thought moved, the suppression of the Falling Heart Flame within his body completely dissipated.
As soon as the Falling Heart Flame gained its freedom, it was devoured by a Black Flame like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
This was precisely the four-colored strange flame formed by the Fusion of Xuan Huang Flame, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, and Qing Lian Earth Core Fire.
The five strange flames began an unprecedented Fusion: the yellow Xuan Huang Flame, the red Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, the black and white Yin-Yang Dual Flame, the pure green Qing Lian Earth Core Fire, and the colorless Falling Heart Flame.
The five colors intertwined, ultimately returning to pure black.
Complex and profound runes flowed across the surface of this Black Flame, occasionally emanating a Chaos-like halo.
It burned silently, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure, as if even the Soul would be devoured.
"Boundless Black Flame…"
Fang Yang looked at the Black Flame dancing in his palm and murmured to himself.
He could feel that this brand new strange flame was several times more powerful than before, containing the terrifying power of the five strange flames.
"Meow~"
Just then, a soft, sweet meow suddenly broke the silence.
Fang Yang was surprised to find that the Black Flame dancing in his palm had transformed into a small, pitch-black cat.
Its vertical pupils, burning with fire, curiously sized him up, and its small ears twitched slightly.
The little fellow stretched lazily, its flame-composed tail gently sweeping across his wrist, bringing waves of warmth.
The flames on its body sometimes transformed into soft fur, and sometimes reverted to a pure flame form, changing unpredictably and wonderfully.
The fiery touch was warm, completely unlike the scorching heat of ordinary flames.
"Is this… the legendary Spirit of Strange Flames?" Fang Yang murmured, a look of pleasant surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had never heard of a strange flame being able to materialize into such a lively form.
This was probably an anomaly that occurred after the Black Flame devoured the sentience of the Falling Heart Flame and the five strange flames underwent Fusion.
The kitten seemed to understand his words, rubbing affectionately against his palm and purring contentedly.
Looking at this small life born from the Black Flame, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Fang Yang's lips.
He carefully reached out and gently stroked the kitten's head.
"From now on, you'll be called Xiao Hei," Fang Yang said softly.
The fur, which appeared to be Black Flame, felt exceptionally soft and warm to the touch.
Upon hearing this, the kitten's flame-like eyes blinked, and it gently nodded.
It lightly leaped onto Fang Yang's shoulder, found a comfortable spot, and curled up, as if this was its safest haven.
"Good Xiao Hei, let's go back now," Fang Yang said softly.
The little Black Cat obediently nodded, transforming into a black light and merging into his body.
After a moment of contemplation, Fang Yang decided to refine the Creation Pill, which could improve the quality of one's Spirit.
Fourth-Rank Medicinal Pill: "Creation Pill!"
This was a Medicinal Pill refined based on the Nine-Rank Legacy memories, combined with the characteristics of the spiritual materials in his possession.
He then took out various hundred-thousand-year spiritual materials from his storage spirit tool.
These had all been personally collected for him by the Beast God Emperor during his time in the Star Dou Great Forest, containing countless rare Immortal Herbs and spiritual materials, and so on…
As one who possessed the Legacy of a Nine-Rank Alchemist, even without the aid of a Pill Furnace, he could perform Void Realm Alchemy with his exquisite Alchemy techniques.
"Now, let's begin refining the Fourth-Rank Creation Pill."
Fang Yang's hands formed a seal, and the Yang Fire from the Yin-Yang Dual Flame rose in his palm, instantly raising the room's temperature significantly.
His powerful mental force controlled each hundred-thousand-year Immortal Herb and spiritual material, causing them to fly into the flames one by one.
"Hiss!"
As soon as the spiritual materials touched the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, they instantly liquefied, transforming into crystal-clear medicinal liquid that slowly rotated in the flames.
Fang Yang concentrated completely, calcining and purifying, removing Impurities, fusing medicinal properties… these intricate steps flowed smoothly and seamlessly in his hands.
As the last incantation was cast, a brilliant light suddenly bloomed within the flames.
"Pill complete!"
No sooner had he spoken than eight perfectly round and plump Medicinal Pills gradually formed in the flames, their surfaces adorned with natural pill patterns, exuding an invigorating medicinal fragrance.
This was a top-grade Creation Pill among Fourth-Rank Medicinal Pills, capable of fundamentally improving the quality of one's Spirit.
Fang Yang took out a jade bottle and placed all the Medicinal Pills into it. Looking at the Creation Pills in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
With these Medicinal Pills, Xie Xie and the others' Spirit quality would undoubtedly receive some improvement…
