Chapter 62: Pure Spirit Fire
Yi Qianmo took the Five Element Refuge Bead, then jumped back into the lava to hide.
After a little while, he heard a series of roars; the presence of the Fire Demon flashed by. Yi Qianmo waited for a long time before he emerged from the lava, returned to the rock wall, and entered the cave.
The Fire Demon’s cave was a bit dark, but faintly, he could see flickering flames on the walls, which were already glowing red.
From a distance, Yi Qianmo saw a stone mound in the center of the cave, with a small white flame burning on it. The space around the flame twisted slightly as it burned.
"This is…"
Yi Qianmo approached the flame and observed it carefully, his eyes shining with joy, "Pure Spirit Fire!!!"
Anomalous Fire is divided into two levels: Earth Fire and Heaven Fire. There are seventy-two types of Earth Fire and thirty-six types of Heaven Fire, with Earth Fire being below Heaven Fire.
The higher the level of Anomalous Fire, the better the quality of the elixir produced. However, this flame does not belong to any type of Heaven Fire or Earth Fire.
This flame is separate from both Heaven Fire and Earth Fire, and it is also the easiest flame to tame.
However, being the easiest to tame does not mean that this Pure Spirit Fire is weak. On the contrary, the temperature of Pure Spirit Fire is only slightly higher than true fire, but it is the only type of Anomalous Fire in the world that can consume other flames to advance.
For every type of flame that Pure Spirit Fire consumes, it can level up once and gain the characteristics of the consumed flame. If it can consume all flames from both levels, it may even become the legendary Fire of Chaos!
The Fire of Chaos is said to be the first flame that appeared when the world was created, and anything in its presence turns to ashes.
"If this Fire Demon were to consume Pure Spirit Fire, it would gain its characteristics. No wonder it hasn’t advanced in so long; it must be using Pure Spirit Fire to refine itself while trying to tame it!"
Yi Qianmo suddenly understood why this Fire Demon had not consumed Pure Spirit Fire for such a long time.
Looking at the small flame before him, he could roughly guess that Pure Spirit Fire had been mostly absorbed. If he had come a few days later, the Fire Demon would have become a drought spirit and one that possesses the characteristics of Pure Spirit Fire!
If it were a higher level of flame, Yi Qianmo really wouldn’t be sure he could tame this flame when the Fire Demon returned, after all, his ancestor only managed to capture their first Anomalous Fire at the Golden Core Stage, having relied on spiritual power to transform true fire to refine pills before that.
With his current cultivation level at Qi Refining Stage, the only way he could tame an Anomalous Fire is by using the special traits of the Chaotic Sword Body, along with his ancestor’s unique method of capturing Anomalous Fire.
He immediately sat down on the ground and used his spiritual power to wrap around the Pure Spirit Fire, and as the spiritual power flowed in, the small white flame instantly burned more fiercely.
This is the first step to taming the Anomalous Fire, to first nourish it with spiritual power; if it were any other type of flame, it would fight back.
But the advantage of this Pure Spirit Fire is that it has no consciousness, like a blank piece of paper, so it wouldn’t fight back.
As time passed, the Pure Spirit Fire grew stronger under the nourishment of spiritual power, and the cave sparkled with a dazzling white light. Yi Qianmo felt that the timing was right, so he quickly formed a special formation with his spiritual power to take the Pure Spirit Fire from a distance, and then swallowed it immediately.
However, just as he took the Pure Spirit Fire, the entire cave suddenly shook, and Yi Qianmo’s face changed drastically; he was now at a critical moment to tame the flame.
He didn’t move; if he walked away now and the formation broke, it would mean being consumed by raging fire. Even the Pure Spirit Fire would be too much for him to handle with his current body.
As the flame was swallowed, Yi Qianmo immediately sent it through the meridians in his body to his dantian, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body with the flame’s arrival.
Yi Qianmo’s brow was furrowed, and sweat poured down his body. Although the process was difficult, it was going relatively smoothly.
As the Pure Spirit Fire entered his dantian, Yi Qianmo quickly created a small space inside and used his spiritual power to set up a formation to contain it, then he stopped his actions.
He knew that there was no time to refine the Pure Spirit Fire now. With his current level, reaching this step was already the limit. Without reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, trying to refine the Pure Spirit Fire was pure fantasy.
After capturing the flame, Yi Qianmo had used up nearly half of his energy. He immediately stood up; at that moment, the cave was on the verge of collapse. When he reached the cave entrance, lava was already pouring out.
He jumped and landed on the rock wall, holding the bead in one hand, ready to use it at any moment.
However, when he successfully arrived on the other side of the cave, he found a flash of fire in front of him, and a strong sense of pressure hit him.
"Damn it!"
He quickly drew out Repel Evil. Half of his spiritual power was used to support the formation in his dantian, while the other half was infused into Repel Evil, with a small part remaining in the Five Element Refuge Bead in his hand, held back.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
A giant beast burst in, its body covered in flames, but it had a human face, glaring at him with bright red eyes; it was the Fire Demon.
Upon seeing Yi Qianmo, the Fire Demon immediately pounced, its flames filling the cave, a terrifying wave of heat making it hard to breathe.
Yi Qianmo did not back down; he charged toward the Fire Demon with all his might, gripping the Repel Evil sword. As spiritual power flowed into it, a horrifying aura of blood curse surged forth, forming terrifying ghostly faces.
As the flames attacked, Yi Qianmo activated the Five Element Refuge Bead, creating a glowing circle around him.
Just as the Fire Demon lunged to bite him, Yi Qianmo suddenly dropped to the ground. With the force of his movement, he began to slide along the ground, bending his back as his sword fiercely slashed across the Fire Demon’s abdomen, letting out blood like molten lava.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The angry roar came from the Fire Demon, while Yi Qianmo had already slipped under its body to the other side.
Without waiting for the Fire Demon to turn around, Yi Qianmo sheathed his sword and ran toward the exit. The Fire Demon quickly turned to chase him, but its speed was much slower than before.
The blood curse aura within Repel Evil was not an ordinary blood curse; even though he had only used a small part of Repel Evil’s power, the vengeful spirits inside were extremely fierce.
As the sword cut through the Fire Demon’s belly, the wronged souls, accompanied by the blood curse, bit into the flesh of the Fire Demon and devoured it.
If it were another spirit beast, it would likely be heavily injured even if it hadn’t been fully drained, but this Fire Demon is a creature of pure strength and light, countering the power of the Repel Evil sword.
However, two legs cannot run faster than four legs, not to mention that the Fire Demon was much stronger than him, and he was still several yards away from the cave entrance, which was enough for the Fire Demon to catch up with him.
"If you promise to let me out, I can help you use Repel Evil to avoid this danger!"
A voice came through.
Yi Qianmo paused for a moment and looked at the Repel Evil in his hand; this voice sounded familiar, it was the evil god.
At this moment, he did not have time to hesitate and replied, "I can let you out, but on one condition… you must serve me!"
"Deal!"
The voice of the evil god came from the sword, "Give up control of Repel Evil and throw the sword into the air!"
Yi Qianmo did not hesitate and immediately threw the sword into the air. The sword astonishingly floated in midair, and then a terrifying blood curse aura surged from it, transforming into a fierce giant beast that pounced towards the chasing Fire Demon.
When the Fire Demon saw the giant beast, it trembled in fear. It tried to turn around, but it was already too late, and the giant beast swallowed it whole, without any ability to resist.
The giant beast swallowed the Fire Demon, its body faintly glowing with fire. One could hear the angry roar of the Fire Demon, but as the giant beast turned, the roar gradually faded away.
Looking at the fierce giant beast approaching him, Yi Qianmo was a bit surprised but not nervous. The Sword Pill had marked Repel Evil, and he knew he could suppress Repel Evil with just a thought.
Sure enough, when the giant beast came before him, the blood curse aura on it writhed and eventually contracted into a ball, transforming back into the black long sword.
"How did you control Repel Evil? Why is this sword under your will?"
A voice from the evil god echoed from the sword.
"What business is it of yours?"
Yi Qianmo raised his hand and sheathed the sword, then quickly dashed out of the crack.
