Immediately, the azure flames smashed heavily against the black and white flame.
"Boom!"
As the cyan and black-and-white flames clashed violently, countless sparks scattered in all directions. The Yin-Yang Twin Flame, struck by the impact, was knocked straight toward Lin Feng.
Seeing such a golden opportunity, Lin Feng stretched out his palm, which was already sheathed in azure flames without anyone noticing.
In an instant, he thrust his hand directly into the root of the Yin-Yang Twin Flame. He touched a substance pulsing like a beating heart, and with a sudden pull, yanked his arm back.
The previously raging Yin-Yang Twin Flame instantly vanished into thin air once that core was extracted.
Now, in Lin Feng's palm, there appeared a pair of tiny flame fish—one black, one white—tightly intertwined. This was the core flame of the Yin-Yang Twin Flame.
Staring at this black-and-white source, Lin Feng drew in a deep, heated breath. Then he tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it whole. The two energy fish slipped past his lips, and Lin Feng instantly clenched his mouth shut.
At the same time, his body shuddered violently.
Even though he was already at the level of Eight-Star Dou Zong, the sudden invasion of such scorching Heavenly Flame still left him in great discomfort. Quickly, his consciousness sank into his body. The internal situation unfolded clearly before his eyes.
The energy fish had already broken down into countless tiny wisps of black-and-white flame. These twin-colored flames, each containing terrifying heat, rampaged wildly through his meridians.
Wherever they passed, his meridians showed faint signs of withering under the intense heat. Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly opened the white jade box in front of him. The moment the lid lifted, icy mist surged upward.
In an instant, the temperature inside the sand cave plummeted.
He placed his palm over the box and clenched lightly. The white liquid within was immediately drawn by his Dou Qi, forming a thin stream that flowed into his mouth and rushed down his throat.
As the freezing current slid down, Lin Feng clearly felt it flood his body. It raced through his meridians, spreading everywhere.
Wherever the cold current passed, a milky-white layer of ice quickly formed along his meridians and bones.
The searing heat caused by the Heavenly Flame was perfectly countered by this icy flow. With his many past experiences refining Heavenly Flames, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't let this chance go to waste.
His mind urged the Flame Mantra, and torrents of Dou Qi erupted from every corner of his body, converging behind the source flame seed of the Yin-Yang Twin Flame.
Under his guidance, the Dou Qi pushed the black-and-white energy fish forward, forcing them to circulate rapidly along the Flame Mantra's paths.
However, as the Yin-Yang Twin Flame continued to circulate, the cold current in his body melted away quickly.
Lin Feng, though, did not panic.
After all, even if the energy of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was exhausted, he could still draw upon the Azure Wind Heart Flame within him to suppress the damage from the Yin-Yang Twin Flame.
"Why hasn't Lin Feng finished refining yet? It's already been two days."
Zi Yan crouched before the sand dune where Lin Feng was cultivating, poking at a Rank 4 sand scorpion with a twig in her hand.
"It should be soon. I can sense that his rising aura has started to stabilize."
Xiao Yixian, standing gracefully beside her, said with a soft laugh.
As the two women were talking, Lin Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in the sand cave, slowly opened his eyes. Right after, he hurriedly circulated the Flame Mantra, carefully sensing the grade of his technique.
Only after a long while did he slowly open his eyes again.
A helpless look appeared on his face as he shook his head, "Didn't expect that after subduing this Yin-Yang Twin Flame, I would only break through to the peak of Eight-Star Dou Zong. However, the Flame Mantra did rise as I had hoped, reaching Quasi-High-Grade Earth Class."
Indeed, this Yin-Yang Twin Flame had existed for quite some time, and the amount of energy within it was considerable. But for him right now, it was still lacking.
Right then, he recalled the blood-colored flame that Dong Yan had used that day, and immediately brushed his storage ring.
With a faint flash of light, a mangled corpse appeared in front of him. And the moment that corpse emerged, a somewhat illusory figure shot out from within.
It darted swiftly toward the cave entrance. Seeing this, Lin Feng waved his hand, and several invisible chains shot out instantly. In an instant, they pierced through the back of that illusory figure.
"Ah~"
As Dong Yan's soul was pierced by the chains, a shrill scream immediately tore from his mouth.
Lin Feng, however, ignored his cries, yanked hard, and pulled him back. Then he took out a jade bottle, forcefully stuffed Dong Yan's soul inside, and sealed it with the Fallen Heart Flame.
After finishing this, he placed the jade bottle into his storage ring. Next, he extended his palm and pressed it above Dong Yan's dantian. A powerful soul power instantly surged in, searching for the traces of that "Blood Spirit Flame."
Not long after, Lin Feng's palm suddenly tugged hard.
In that instant, a violent blood-colored flame was ripped out. The moment it appeared in the air, the flame turned savage and restless.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and a vast amount of gray flame rolled forth. In an instant, it wrapped tightly around the blood flame and suspended it in the air before him.
Previously, his Azure Wind Heart Flame had fused with the Yin-Yang Twin Flame, transforming into this gray flame. Its power had also increased somewhat.
However, since Lin Feng had never seen the top ten flames of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, he did not know just where this mutated flame might rank.
"This flame really is strange. Compared to ordinary beast flames or even that Life Transforming Flame, it carries a violent power similar to a Heavenly Flame. With this violent force supporting it, its might far surpasses that of typical beast flames or man-made fires."
He rubbed his chin and continued, "But if it truly were a Heavenly Flame, it should have stirred the Heavenly Flames within me into a constant uproar… yet it hasn't."
"That's right, maybe there are some clues inside Dong Yan's storage ring."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately pulled out the storage ring he had stripped from Dong Yan. His formidable soul power burst from his brow, crashing directly into the soul barrier on the ring.
"Bang!"
With Lin Feng's strike, the protective barrier on the ring instantly shattered into fragments.
After all, while Dong Yan had been strong in battle, his soul power was far inferior to Lin Feng, a peak seventh-tier alchemist.
