After tucking the Sumeru Ring away safely, Lin Ming poured his True Essence into the Fire Essence within his body, preparing to give the Fireworker a free cremation. However, the moment the flame erupted from his hand, he let out a sound of surprise.
The flame was a deep, dark red, its flickering tendrils like the unfurling petals of a lotus flower. It had clearly taken on some characteristics of the Red Lotus Demon Flame.
Though it was just a small wisp of fire, billowing waves of heat surged outward like a tide. With a thought, Lin Ming retrieved a fine steel dagger from his Sumeru Ring and plunged the blade into the flame. In just a few breaths, the blade glowed red, softened, and finally melted into molten iron.
Lin Ming was overjoyed. The new flame was a great deal stronger than his previous Magma Fire. After all, while magma was scorching, it wasn't hot enough to melt steel.
