The flames were so concentrated that even Yuan Qi was being burned away. Snake Girl shuddered in fear, but Yi Yun, who was beside her, felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.
"Xie'er, swallow some of these flames. Don't waste them."
Although Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal, he could not use so much energy. The main reason was that the astral fire was only energy. It was different from treasures like the Dragon Blood Fruit that contained vital essence. Although the Purple Crystal could absorb it, it had little effect on Yi Yun's dantian.
In that case, he might as well let Ling Xie'er absorb it. As the Heretical God Fire Seed's true form, she was the source of all fire. The astral fire was extremely nourishing to her.
"Alright, Brother Yi Yun!"
Ling Xie'er said crisply. She was overjoyed to see so much astral fire. She was like a gluttonous kitten that had seen a table of delicacies.
Ling Xie'er immediately flew to the middle of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's space. She extended her fair and tender hands as two black fire plumes burned in her palms. They began to slowly grow as they absorbed large amounts of the surrounding astral fire. Soon, they formed two vortexes.
The vortexes grew in size and ferocity. From afar, Ling Xie'er's body seemed to be enveloped by two black tornadoes!
Looking at this scene, and then looking at the overwhelming amount of astral fire being devoured continuously, the corners of the snake woman's mouth twitched. This little girl looked fair and clean, obedient and adorable, but look at the things she did. All of them were world-shaking, suffocating. She was simply a monster.
The Snake Woman knew that if the little girl hadn't left a flame in her body, she would have been reduced to ashes.
"Xie'er, split some of the fire seeds. I'll refine the medicine in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron!"
Yi Yun said.
He was feeling smug. The Dragon Emperor Technique recorded the refinement method of the Dragon Emperor Relic. It was even more brilliant than Myriad God Patriarch's method.
Although he lacked the Dragon Blood Fruit, it did not matter. Yi Yun had already eaten the Dragon Blood Fruit. All he needed was a few drops of his blood essence to barely replace the Dragon Blood Fruit.
As such, the Dragon Emperor Relic that Myriad God Patriarch had failed to refine would be completed by Yi Yun on his behalf.
Furthermore, Yi Yun would refine it even better.
The Dragon Emperor Relic was not difficult to refine to begin with. And in terms of alchemical skills, Yi Yun was superior to Myriad God Patriarch Relic. Furthermore, the vessel Yi Yun used to refine the Ascending Dragon Cauldron!
"Alright."
Ling Xie'er waved her hand as the Heretical God Fire Seed surged towards Yi Yun.
Ever since Ling Xie'er awoke, the Heretical God Fire Seed became easier to control.
Yi Yun raised his hand and threw the Heaven Devouring Wyrm Horn, Crimson Blood Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Dragonbone Whale oil and other divine items into the black flames!
The Heretical God Fire Seed was incomparable to astral fire. With Yi Yun's alchemical techniques, the dragon blood essence in the divine treasures was rapidly extracted.
If Myriad God Patriarch were to see this scene, he would probably vomit blood from anger. Not only had all the blood and sweat he had put in over a million years been given to Yi Yun, all his blood and sweat had also been put to better use by Yi Yun.
Time passed!
Three days and three nights passed in the blink of an eye!
In three days, the exterior of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron had nearly turned into a sea of lava.
However, the nine fiery dragon grooves remained. One could clearly see nine redder and hotter dragon veins gathered around the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
At that moment, all the Myriad God Ridge disciples were greatly drained. They had to consume pills and Spirit Jade to sustain the massive expenditure. At the same time, they had to face the layers of heat waves.
Those with weaker cultivation levels would not be able to withstand the lava sea's temperature. It was difficult to imagine what the interior of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was like.
"What terrifying temperatures. The interior of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron has probably become a purgatory of fire. Even I would be reduced to ashes if I were to stay in there for such a long period of time."
A Myriad God Ridge Elder said.
"That's right. I also know a thing or two about alchemy. Usually, when refining pills, one has to carefully control the flames. Who would dare to burn it like this!? I believe that even if Patriarch said that the little bastard has a high tolerance for fire, he won't be able to last that long. The amount of Spirit Jade this array consumes every few seconds is a huge fortune. However, Patriarch does not seem to have any intention of stopping. I have no idea how long he will keep burning. It feels like he is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. "
The Myriad God Ridge Elders and disciples discussed in private. They were truly having a hard time holding on.
Finally, four hours later, Cang Wu spoke. He could not help but say, "Patriarch, at this temperature, the little bastard has probably been burned to ashes."
Myriad God Patriarch remained silent. However, the astral fire was so terrifying that even a Divine Lord would not be able to withstand it, much less a Dao Palace realm junior.
But for some unknown reason, Myriad God Patriarch had a nagging feeling that Yi Yun had not been burned to death.
He was still pinning his hopes on the Dragon Bone Milk.
"I wonder if the little bastard has consumed that tiny jar of Dragon Bone Milk. With that little bastard's greed, he will definitely not miss out on the main ingredient. If he has consumed it, the medicinal effects should have taken effect by now. "
"Perhaps, I was being overly careful. It's impossible for the little bastard to know of the Dragon Bone Milk's toxicity and how to deal with it. In addition to the flames that can burn a Divine Lord, he should already be dead."
Myriad God Patriarch muttered to himself as he slightly weakened the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array's intensity.
After all, he felt the pinch from burning so much Spirit Jade every second.
Hu! Hu!
Hu! The flames weakened by nearly half and the oppressive heat instantly eased. Although there was still a sea of lava beneath their feet, many of the Myriad God Ridge disciples felt a lot better.
"As expected, Senior Brother Cang Wu's words carry some weight."
"Only Senior Brother Cang Wu dares to speak to the patriarch. No one else dares to speak to the patriarch."
The personal disciples present discussed in private. They were somewhat envious of Cang Wu. Previously, Cang Wu had taken the lead to express his loyalty to the Myriad God Patriarch. As a result, the Myriad God Patriarch thought very highly of Cang Wu.
This made many of the personal disciples present envious and jealous. Why hadn't they been the first to kneel down and submit? Now that Feng Yunyang was finished, wouldn't the position of sect master fall to Cang Wu?
As the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array weakened, the Myriad God Ridge disciples finally had some time to rest.
And at that moment, inside the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, Yi Yun's refinement of the Dragon Emperor Relic had reached its final stage!
If it were the Myriad God Patriarch's refinement, it would have taken him eighty-one days.
However, with the Heretical God Fire Seed and the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's refinement, and with the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array's help, he only took three days to complete most of it.
"Oh? The array formation has weakened? "
Yi Yun sensed that the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array had been greatly weakened.
Although Ling Xie'er looked adorable, her appetite was ridiculous. The moment the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array weakened, the temperature inside the Ascending Dragon Cauldron dropped drastically. Much of the astral fire was absorbed by Ling Xie'er.
"Brother Yi Yun, the fire has weakened."
Ling Xie'er said.
In fact, even without the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array, Yi Yun could still refine the Dragon Emperor Relic with Ling Xie'er's help. However, it would take at least half a month for him to succeed.
Now that he was just short of the final step, Yi Yun was naturally displeased that he had to delay what was supposed to be a great success.
He extended his perception out of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron and saw the Myriad God Ridge disciples present wiping their sweat and resting. As for the Myriad God Patriarch, he had taken out a compass from somewhere. He held the compass in one hand as he chanted. His other hand was drawing all sorts of runic seals as though he was divining something.
Oh? This old fellow also knew divination arts?
Yi Yun guessed at the use of the compass. It was somewhat similar to the Heaven Secrets Compass he had seen in the Sun Burial Sandsea. However, its quality was clearly much better.
The Martial Dao had some unorthodox methods. Fengshui and divination arts were one of them. Legend had it that people who mastered divination arts to an extreme could divine the future. Of course, that was only a legend.
It was unknown what level the Myriad God Patriarch had reached. He was likely divining the situation inside the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
Upon coming to this realization, Yi Yun laughed.
"Hey! Old bastard, what are you mumbling about!? I was just taking a bath when there was no hot water. I was wondering why the water turned cold. So you were chanting the scriptures. Why don't you continue lighting the fire!? "
"If you are concerned about my situation, do you need to chant the scriptures? All you need to do is ask!? Now, I'm telling you that the water is too cold. I'm very dissatisfied! "
Yi Yun infused his Yuan Qi into his voice, making it sound like rolling thunder. It resounded throughout the area.
The Myriad God Patriarch had his eyes closed as he divined the mysteries. Just as he reached a critical moment, he suddenly heard Yi Yun's shout. He nearly spewed a mouthful of blood.
"Ka-cha!"
A superior-grade compass was crushed to pieces by the Myriad God Patriarch.
The Myriad God Patriarch opened his eyes abruptly and stared at the Ascending Dragon Cauldron in the array's core. His face had already turned dark purple. Why was this happening?
Was this punk still human? Even the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array that expended more than fifty thousand kilograms of Spirit Jade could not do a thing to him?
Also, did he not eat that jar of toxic Dragon Bone Milk? Why was he still alive?
The Myriad God Patriarch was so infuriated that his intestines were twisted like a fried dough twist. His liver, gallbladder, and stomach hurt. He yearned to bite off piece of Yi Yun's flesh but he could not even see Yi Yun's face.
As for the other Myriad God Ridge Elders and personal disciples, they were on the brink of a mental breakdown because of Yi Yun.
Yi Yun was no different from an ancestor. He had mobilized so many people and spent so much Spirit Jade. Even the people who were lighting the fire were nearly roasted into dried salted fish. Yet, the person who was being burned was still alive and kicking. Who could tolerate that?
"Refine! Continue refining! Refine that little bastard! He's just being stubborn! "
Beside the Myriad God Sect Master, an old woman jumped forward and shouted. She was none other than the old woman with Snake Girl.
The other Myriad God Ridge disciples had no other choice. They quickly took their positions and continued activating the Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array.
Rumble!
The Nine Cosmic Grand Astral Incinerating Array began operating once again as astral fire spewed out.
"Why is the fire smaller than before? Did all of you not eat? Use more strength!"
