At this rate, I'll surely be burned to death …
Knowing that he would not be able to leave anything behind if he were to continue burning the flames, Zhang Xuan immediately drove his Soul Quintessence and launched an attack right at the flames before him.
His soul energy struck the pitch-black flames, and in an instant, the latter exploded into innumerable tiny embers. However, before Zhang Xuan could react, the black flames gathered once more and continued burning his body.
I can shatter it, but the flames recover too quickly …
Zhang Xuan remarked grimly.
He had only used the Soul Quintessence to test the waters, but he did not think that it would work. However, it was a pity that the black flames were gathering too quickly. Even if he were to shatter it, it would not make much of a difference.
Right, the Time Quintessence …
A thought flashed across Zhang Xuan's mind.
No matter how fast the black flames could gather, it would still take time. As long as there was time, he would be able to execute the Time Quintessence!
"Break!"
At the same time, Zhang Xuan tapped his finger forward lightly.
Weng!
Everything before him slowed down once more. The pitch-black flames slowly split apart, and after reaching a certain distance, they converged toward the center.
"Split apart!"
Zhang Xuan focused his attention on one of the tiny embers, and just as he had expected, the tiny embers were sent flying to the side.
After splitting more than a dozen embers, the Time Acceleration came to an end, and the searing pain from the black flames lessened significantly.
"The larger the flame, the stronger the heat …" Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as his eyes glowed in agitation.
At the same temperature, a fire was far more threatening than a few scattered sparks.
After a few more attempts, the black flames were split into more than a hundred portions, and the searing pain from the black flames finally dissipated.
"Time, Space, and Soul Quintessences … To be able to gather all three of the most difficult Quintessences in a single person … I'm afraid that he's the only one who is capable of such a feat …"
The Dragonbone Divine Spear muttered to itself in a daze. It did not think that the other party would be able to do such a thing.
It had thought that Zhang Xuan would be burned to death with the descent of the Empyrean Heavenly Flames, but who could have thought that the other party would be able to resolve the danger with the help of the three Heaven Defying Quintessences?
"However, this is only temporary. Even if he's able to withstand the Soul Quintessence, the Spirit Quintessence, and the Heart Quintessence will still be difficult to deal with …"
Shaking his head, he still didn't think that Zhang Xuan would be able to overcome the heavenly flame tribulation.
…
"This is much better …"
Paying no heed to the skeletal dragon's worries, Zhang Xuan watched as the searing sensation of the Spatial Quintessence dissipated. It was fortunate that he had comprehended the Time, Space, and Soul Quintessences, or else he really would have been at a loss.
Buzz!
The golden light emanating from the surface of his Primordial Spirit shone brightly, keeping the tiny sparks at bay. As a result, the burning sensation and pain were alleviated significantly.
As Zhang Xuan continued driving his zhenqi, the golden light grew brighter and brighter. Whenever the black heavenly flames started to gather, he would use his Soul Quintessence to shatter it. While he would be fatigued for the time being, he would still be able to hold on for the time being.
"Let's try to expel the Fetal Poison …"
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, Zhang Xuan knew that this was a rare opportunity.
If he didn't resolve the Innate Fetal Poison, it was only a matter of time before he died. Since this was an opportunity, he might as well give it a try.
Focusing his attention, Zhang Xuan executed another attack from the Soul Quintessence, splitting a pea-sized ball of flame into the size of a sesame seed. Then, under the propulsion of his soul energy, it slowly surged toward the location where the Innate Fetal Poison was hiding. Searing heat seeped through the golden light and seeped into his Primordial Spirit.
Hula!
Immediately, he felt a tearing pain.
"Why isn't it working?"
A moment later, Zhang Xuan frowned.
Kong Shi had once said that the heavenly flame could neutralize the Innate Fetal Poison, but … even after burning it for a long time, the Innate Fetal Poison remained completely unaffected. It was as if the Innate Fetal Poison had no fear of it at all.
"Could it be that … I have to draw the heavenly flame into my Primordial Spirit?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
When the Heavenly Fire burned earlier, it was blocked by the golden light. It was like scratching an itch through one's boot. It didn't enter the body, so the Fetal Poison wasn't affected.
Just that …
If his Primordial Spirit were to draw such powerful flames into his Primordial Spirit, it was likely that he would be burned to death before the Innate Fetal Poison.
"Forget it. Even if I don't give it a try, I'll still die sooner or later …"
Knowing that the presence of the Innate Fetal Poison made it difficult for him to sleep, Zhang Xuan drove his Heaven's Path Divine Art to resist the heavenly flame. At the same time, he drew a tiny spark of flame into his Primordial Spirit.
Tzzzzz!
As if a piece of fresh meat had been thrown into a furnace, a sizzling sound echoed in the air. An excruciating pain seeped into his bones, leaving him feeling a little light-headed.
Lowering his head, Zhang Xuan saw a depression in the area where the heavenly flame had burned. The Primordial Spirit in the depression had become much thinner, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
"This … I can't do it!"
Zhang Xuan's complexion turned awful.
He had only absorbed a little of it, and his Primordial Spirit had nearly collapsed. If he were to absorb too much, wouldn't he be crippled on the spot?
"What should I do?"
Zhang Xuan had thought that he would be able to resolve the Innate Fetal Poison easily with the appearance of the heavenly flame. Who could have thought that things would turn out differently?
"I'll continue to divide it. If the size of a sesame seed doesn't work, I'll just divide it to the size of a needle!"
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
Since that was the case, he should continue dividing it until his Primordial Spirit was able to withstand the heat.
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan continued to knock on the Primordial Spirit with his soul.
At his level of cultivation, even if it was as small as a speck of dust, he could clearly see the dents on the surface with his Divine Sense.
After three consecutive attempts, the sesame seed was reduced to the size of a needle. However, it was still burning intensely, as if it could melt anything in the world.
"Absorb …"
Zhang Xuan continued to divide the flames before pushing one toward his Primordial Spirit. In the blink of an eye, it had entered his Primordial Spirit.
Tzzz!
The Primordial Spirit flew toward the Innate Fetal Poison, and the latter immediately retreated fearfully.
However, the Primordial Spirit was simply too small. While the Innate Fetal Poison was fearful of it, it was unable to inflict any significant damage.
"Continue absorbing …"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan absorbed another speck of Primordial Spirit into his body, and the Innate Fetal Poison retreated once more. However, it did not take long before the small speck of Primordial Spirit was extinguished.
"My soul has grown stronger!"
After absorbing two specks of Primordial Spirit, Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit became visibly more resilient, as if it had been tempered a thousand times. At the same time, the golden glow it emanated also grew brighter.
"The Primordial Spirit is indeed able to temper the Aureate Body!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement. "Forget about the Innate Fetal Poison for now. Once I temper my entire Primordial Spirit, that fellow won't be able to escape even if he wants to!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to destroy the other specks of Primordial Spirit to temper his Primordial Spirit, he suddenly felt the storage ring on his finger trembling. Following which, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
A clone!
For some reason, that fellow had actually emerged from the Myriad Anthive Nest.
"You can't even deal with a single Primordial Spirit? I really can't stand it anymore …"
Zhang Xuan shot a disdainful glance at Zhang Xuan before dashing toward the ominous clouds in the sky.
Hong long long!
A bundle of Primordial Spirit descended from the sky, and the clone swallowed it whole.
"…"
Zhang Xuan's face twitched.
