As he stared at the surging purple sea of flames, Luo Ling did not move his feet as his eyes flashed explosively.

If one did not even have the courage to obtain it, was he still Luo Ling?

Then let's give it a try!

Fortunately, he had expected this to happen. He placed the storage box inside the Heavenly Treasures Cold Silk Cloak. Otherwise, he would have been reduced to ashes by now.

The flame was attracted by the Qi Method and entered Luo Ling's body through his nose and mouth.

Under the suppression of the Wild Martial Emperor Scripture, the flame might entering his body decreased drastically, but it didn't cause him any injury.

The flames that entered his body were sucked into his dantian and then slowly refined by his cultivation technique.

To refine flames was to devour the sea of fire.

At the same time, under the effects of the Firebender technique, the purple sea of fire began to slowly shrink, and its might also began to gradually converge.

Luo Ling's attacks came at the same time.

However, whether it was nibbling or shrinking speed, compared to the massive volume and might of the sea of fire, it was simply too slow!

The power contained within the purple flames was extremely pure and huge. Even though Luo Ling had circulated the Wild Martial Emperor Scripture to the limit of what his body could handle, the refining speed was still not fast enough. The more flames gathered in his dantian, the more burning pain he would feel.

It was not that the Wild Martial Emperor's Scripture was not strong enough. Rather, it was that his cultivation was too weak, and he was unable to endure the increased speed of the circulation.

Fortunately, his dantian had been refined and expanded, and its capacity was ten thousand times that of someone of the same level. Otherwise, it would have been burnt through long ago.

Time passed second by second. Through the Firebender technique, Luo Ling could feel the changes in the sea of fire.

At this rate, before he could subdue the Purple Spirit Star Flame, the Frost Silk Cloak of Heavenly Treasures would melt.

Of course he had expected such a situation.

If the Purple Spirit Star Flame was so easy to subdue, then it wouldn't be the Purple Spirit Star Flame.

It was time to use the defensive spirit diagram.

Luo Ling paused his Firebending technique and the Wild Martial Emperor Scripture, concentrating on his meditation.

The defensive spirit diagram was his last resort against the sea of fire.

The first thing he meditated on was a low-grade yellow-rank defensive spirit diagram. He had already done this last night, and now he was very familiar with it.

The attack spirit diagram buffed the weapon, and the defense spirit diagram buffed the body.

Seven or eight seconds later, the Frost Silk Cloak of Heavenly Treasures showed signs of melting.

At this time, a complete low-grade yellow-rank defensive spirit diagram appeared in Luo Ling's mind.

Luo Ling did not dare to be negligent. His soul power quickly followed the special patterns on the spirit diagram and entered it, then he could control the spirit diagram.

Then, he used his soul power to distribute the dense runes of the great Dao on the spirit diagram throughout his body.

With the addition of the spirit diagram, the great Dao's runes formed a watertight defense around his body with a faint glow. Although it was unable to isolate the surrounding sea of fire, it could still dissipate the majority of the flame's power.

The remaining portion of its might was blocked by the Frost Silk Cloak of Heavenly Treasures.

Luo Ling heaved a sigh of relief and continued his meditation.

The one meditating this time was naturally a middle Huang grade spirit diagram.

A low-grade yellow-rank defensive spirit diagram could at most block a minute or two, so he had to meditate on a mid-grade yellow-rank defensive spirit diagram during this period of time.

After a minute or so, he finally finished meditating and formed a complete middle Huang grade defensive spirit diagram. Afterwards, he formed a defensive layer around his body.

Puff!

The energy of the low Huang grade spirit diagram had been exhausted and the defensive layer had turned to dust.

The defensive layer formed by a middle Huang grade spirit diagram was enough to withstand the sea of fire for ten minutes.

Next, he would have to see if he could subdue the Purple Spirit Star Flame within ten minutes.

Luo Ling once again activated the Wild Martial Emperor Scripture and displayed the Firebending technique.

After a minute, the sea of fire had shrunk by half.

Three minutes later, the sea of fire had shrunk by twenty percent.

Five minutes later, the sea of fire had shrunk by fifty percent.

At this moment, the sea of fire began to fiercely resist.

The strange thing was, it actually had some immunity to the Firebender technique.

Luo Ling was shocked, how is this possible?

Any spirit fire was just a fire seed that contained the essence of one's true spirit. At most, it had the instinct to burn everything down and didn't have a complete consciousness. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a spirit fire, but a living being.

However, the Purple Spirit Star Flame in front of him clearly had its own consciousness. Otherwise, how could he explain its resistance to the Firebending technique?

The Firebending technique was a special type of technique. The number of people who could master it was even rarer than Heaven rank alchemists. The Purple Spirit Star Flame seemed to be familiar with this technique. It was simply too inconceivable!

Luo Ling was immediately the first two. He had never expected such a situation to occur.

How could he play?

He was unwilling to give up. If this carried on, his chances of success would be extremely slim, and he might even lose his life.

When it was difficult for him to back down, the sea of purple flames that had shrunk halfway down suddenly disappeared.

Even the fire in his dantian that he hadn't refined in time had disappeared.

What was going on?

Luo Ling looked around in surprise.

Aside from leaving behind a twisted, black, and twisted ravine, the purple sea of fire had already disappeared without a trace, as if it had vanished into thin air.

This was very sudden and strange.

There must be something wrong with this matter!

Although Luo Ling could not figure out what exactly this "demon" was, he had a hunch that the Purple Spirit Star Flame was hiding somewhere.

"Little guy, you're not simple at all. I've finally found you."

An elderly voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

"Who are you?"

This voice was too sudden. Luo Ling was slightly shocked.

An illusory figure slowly floated down from the sky and stood in front of him.

This figure was almost transparent, and one could not see his face clearly. If not for the voice that rang in his mind, he would have recognized that it came from an old man. He could not even tell if it was a man or a woman.

This was a will form.

Not only that, but he had surpassed the Yuanhuang Realm when he was still alive.

Based on his experiences in his previous life, Luo Ling quickly came to a conclusion.

To be able to preserve a trace of one's will after death and infuse it into the minds of others, that was something that Yuanhuang Stage cultivators could not do.

In that case, this old man must have been at the Emperor Realm when he was alive.

Furthermore, it was an Emperor's Realm that had fallen for a long time. Otherwise, he would have heard of it in his previous life.

Since he was just a will form and not a soul, there was no threat of possession.

Luo Ling heaved a sigh of relief as he bowed towards the shadow and said, "This kid, Luo Ling, pays his respect to senior. May I know who you are …?"

The mysterious man said, "Little guy, this is not the place to talk. Follow me. I'll answer your questions later."

With that, the shadow shook and transformed into a ball of purple flame that floated away.

However, the current purple flame had already restrained its power and did not emit any scorching heat.

Luo Ling did indeed have a lot of questions. Without any hesitation, he quickly followed.

He was unable to guess the old man's intentions, but he was sure that the old man had no ill intentions.

Following closely behind, the purple flames entered deep into the mountains. Along the way, they did not encounter any ferocious beasts.

This was not strange at all. The vicious beasts in the mountains had long seen just how terrifying the purple flames were. They couldn't avoid them in time, so they didn't dare to go near them.

About half an incense stick of time later, a man and a fire entered a valley and arrived in front of a cave.

The cave entrance was about three meters wide, but it was concealed by some tall grass and trees.

The purple flame immediately floated into the cave.

Luo Ling hesitated for a moment before following behind her.

After walking down a narrow corridor that was tens of meters long, they were suddenly able to see everything.

What appeared in front of him was a natural karst cave. The space was very large, and the top was inlaid with a fist-sized moonlight stone. It emitted a gentle silver light, making the large cave not look too dim.

A dark purple flame that was half a meter in radius floated in the air. At the heart of the flame, a silver glow was jumping.

It was as though countless stars had been born and vanished within this silvery brilliance. The Heavenly Daos' true chapter was faintly discernable, emitting an aura that caused one's heart to palpitate with fear. It was as though it contained the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

Could this be the power of the stars?

A power that was close to 'Immortal'?

Luo Ling stared intently at the floating silver glow as if he had understood something.

At this moment, he realized that the dark purple flame with a silver luster was the true form of the Purple Spirit Star Flame.

What he had seen before was just one of its clones.

If a body split was already so powerful, then how strong would the original body be?

Luo Ling's gaze gradually became passionate.
