Chapter 285: True Fire Refinement
The flames in the sky coalesced into a swirling mass, wrapping Ye Yun within transparent blue fire. Yet the inferno left him utterly unharmed.
Everyone stood frozen in shock. Had Murong Wuhen and Jiang Shui Ning stayed, their eyes might’ve fallen from their sockets. The True Fire Flying Lion’s flames couldn’t harm Ye Yun at all.
“Look! Ye Yun’s even closing his eyes now!” Duan Chenfeng shouted, spotting the detail through the blue flames. Though Ye Yun’s expression was blurred, Duan Chenfeng imagined him smugly basking in the spectacle.
Su Yinxue and the others confirmed it—Ye Yun stood with closed eyes amid the flames, seemingly indifferent.
In truth, Ye Yun felt adrift in a warm sea. When gravely injured near the Immortal Spirit Stone, the True Fire Flying Lion had materialized, flames roaring down to engulf him. At that moment, icy dread filled Ye Yun’s heart as the fire surged over him.
True fire’s terror matched Su Yinxue’s warnings: even Leader Su Hao of Shadowless Peak would struggle against the beast. Though Ye Yun dismissed claims of the lion rivaling Su Hao’s power, he acknowledged its fearsome might. Against such force, survival seemed impossible—until flames licked his skin.
A flash of firelight erupted in Ye Yun’s mind. Scorching energy burst from his pores, forming a thin transparent shield. Shock and relief flooded him—this unknown power shielded him completely.
Calming himself, Ye Yun studied the shield. The heat reminded him of Fire Spirit Qi, but that energy had been depleted earlier. Only Thunder Spirit Qi had partially recovered, enabling his Illusory Thunderlight Escape against Jun Ruolan. If not Fire Spirit Qi, what fueled this defense?
He dared not relax. The shield’s origin and duration were mysteries. If it vanished, even amplified strength wouldn’t save him from incineration. Hot air seared his nostrils—without the shield, mere heat would’ve overwhelmed him.
Focusing, Ye Yun detected no spiritual or true qi fluctuations in the shield. It clung to his flesh like a second skin, unrelated to cultivation. Yet this wasn’t his Cleansing Immortal Heart Technique’s work—even the Great Demon Body’s second layer couldn’t withstand Foundation Establishment-stage flames, let alone his incomplete training.
Discarding distractions, Ye Yun probed the shield with his soul’s senses. Understanding its nature might reveal weaknesses in the True Fire Flying Lion’s attacks.
The lion roared furiously. As a juvenile, its untempered body paled against its flame’s might. Yet now, its fire failed against a seemingly crippled human exuding a trembling-inducing aura. Limited by bestial intellect, it kept blasting flames instead of ordering nearby cowering spirit beasts to attack physically.
Ye Yun’s mind pierced the shield’s mystery.
*Boom!* Visions of flame-scapes exploded in his consciousness—towering infernos, palm-sized flickers, even microscopic fire-motes weaving grand tapestries. A burning palace dominated the imagery, radiating ancient majesty and apocalyptic dominance. Paradoxically, its pressure soothed Ye Yun like homecoming.
His Fire Spirit Qi surged, revitalized and growing stronger. From the palace shot a fiery streak coalescing into a familiar dragon-shape—the wisp of fire element laws he’d once sensed. Yet this dragon was dwarfed by the palace’s immensity, mere sparks against the true conflagration of laws.
The shield’s origin crystallized: fire element laws themselves. No wonder it repelled the lion’s flames.
Ye Yun’s eyes snapped open—twin firebeams pierced the surrounding flames, blasting bowl-sized holes through the inferno.
