Although Yi Yun was extremely excited, he did not lose his calm. He knew very well that although the pure Yang spirit was good, it was nearly impossible for a Purple Blood realm warrior to absorb it!
The energy contained within the pure Yang spirit was too strong. It could be described as a tiny Sun. If a Purple Blood realm warrior were to swallow a tiny Sun into his body, he would definitely die from his organs being burnt!
Directly swallowing the pure Yang spirit was equivalent to suicide. Even sages did not dare to do so.
In the records that Yi Yun had read, there were sages and Desolate Heaven Masters in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom who had attempted to refine the pure Yang spirit into a desolate bone relic and slowly absorb it. But during the refinement process, the pure Yang spirit's energy turned violent, resulting in an explosion!
Yi Yun knew how terrifying the pure Yang spirit was. He did not dare to approach it rashly. Yi Yun could only rely on the Purple Crystal now.
It was impossible to directly swallow the pure Yang spirit. He could only rely on the Purple Crystal to absorb the pure Yang spirit's energy from afar.
Thinking of this, Yi Yun felt depressed.
The pure Yang spirit contained too much energy, and with Yi Yun's limited cultivation level, it was impossible to absorb all the pure Yang spirit's energy bit by bit with the Purple Crystal. This was because his body could not contain it!
How much could a kitten eat something that could only be eaten by a desolate beast?
What about the leftovers? Was he going to leave it here?
The next time he came, the pure Yang spirit might have changed its location. It would not be easy to find it.
These thoughts flashed in Yi Yun's mind. He felt his heart ache. First, he had used the Purple Crystal's guidance to find the light ball array. However, the array could not be broken. The opportunity was placed in front of him, but he could not obtain it.
Following that, he found the pure Yang spirit, but he could not eat it.
This feeling of having a treasure mountain in front of him but not being able to move it was maddening.
"I don't care. I'll absorb as much as I can!"
Yi Yun interfaced his spiritual energy with the Purple Crystal and began attempting to absorb the pure Yang spirit's energy. He circulated the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' to its limits because he knew that with his current strength, just absorbing a tiny bit of the pure Yang spirit would be extremely dangerous!
The pure Yang Qi was guided by the Purple Crystal's energy towards Yi Yun.
However … the pure Yang spirit's body only shook a little, but no energy leaked out.
"Hmm?"
Yi Yun was slightly stunned. He had used the Purple Crystal to absorb the pure Yang spirit's energy, but he had only absorbed a bit of pure Yang Qi from the periphery. He had not absorbed the core energy?
Why was this happening?
Yi Yun did not believe in heresy. He increased the absorption rate, and a tiny purple vortex appeared on the Purple Crystal once again.
And this time, not only did the Pure Yang Spirit not react, the Rainbow Flower even trembled slightly and its petals showed signs of closing!
Yi Yun was stunned. What?
Seeing the petals slowly close and about to wrap around the pure Yang spirit, Yi Yun was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
He had used the Purple Crystal to absorb the pure Yang Spirit but before he could absorb anything, the pure Yang Spirit was actually shrinking back.
The Seven Colored Flower grew in the burning hell. Yi Yun guessed that he was most likely helpless against it. If he rashly attacked it, he might be counterattacked by the Seven Colored Flower.
It was very likely that the Rainbow Flower had gained sentience!
That's right … Spirit Linking!
This thought suddenly flashed in Yi Yun's mind. He suddenly understood why he could not absorb the pure Yang spirit's energy.
The Purple Crystal could only absorb ownerless energy, but it could not plunder energy from other lifeforms.
For example, dead primordial species or dead herbs had energy within their bodies that was ownerless energy.
But the Purple Crystal could not absorb the energy within a truly living lifeform.
For example, when Yi Yun captured the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, as it was a living primordial herb, the Purple Crystal could not absorb its energy through the air.
Now, the pure Yang spirit in front of him had intelligence. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a lifeform, so the Purple Crystal could not do anything about it.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt like ten thousand alpacas were galloping across his heart. He really wanted to vomit blood!
What the hell was this!?
He could not crack the light sphere array!
Seeing the pure Yang spirit, he first thought that he could not take it away and was disappointed.
Only then did he realize that he could not even absorb a drop of energy!
He could see it, but he could not eat it.
Did he spend so much effort just to watch a show?
Yi Yun was going crazy. He could not help but have the urge to slash at the Rainbow Flower with his Thousand Army Saber.
Of course, this was just wishful thinking. He knew that with his strength, he was completely helpless against the Rainbow Flower.
At this moment, Yi Yun suddenly felt a jolt.
In his energy vision, there was another anomaly!
Moreover, the strange movement this time was completely different from before. Something was carrying an astonishing killing intent, and it was charging straight in his direction!
There's a desolate beast!
Without any hesitation, Yi Yun leaped out and ran quickly. At the same time, he used the Purple Crystal to converge the energy within his body and held his breath!
Yi Yun knew that the desolate beast that appeared in this level of the burning hell was not something he could handle.
"Xiao!"
Yi Yun heard a shrill bird's cry. It pierced through the clouds and was ear-piercing!
This bird's cry was familiar. Yi Yun's heart turned cold. This was the fire bird he saw in the burning hell's periphery!
To be able to easily devour the fire ape, the fire bird with unimaginable strength could easily tear him apart with a single claw!
Yi Yun did not turn his head. He only opened his energy vision and looked at the situation behind him.
In the burning hell, the gigantic fire bird spread its wings and swooped down. Its body was covered in colorful feathers and it dragged a burning Rainbow Phoenix tail!
Its target was the Rainbow Flower that grew in the basin!
"Peng!"
The fire bird's two large claws grabbed onto the thick flower stem. At the same time, its sharp beak pecked at the Rainbow Flower's corolla!
The corolla deformed violently, but the Rainbow Flower was surprisingly tough. Even though the fire bird was tearing at it, its corolla did not break.
"Whew!"
With a clear cry, the Rainbow Flame shot out from the flower's core and headed straight for the fire bird!
This was an attack launched by the pure Yang spirit!
Seeing the pure Yang spirit fly over, the fire bird acted as if it was facing a great enemy. It screeched and all its feathers stood up like arrows.
"Cha!"
The fire bird's sharp claws tore through the air and grabbed the pure Yang spirit!
However, even the fire bird could not withstand the pure Yang fire's burning. Its claws were quickly burned and pieces of skin fell off, leaving it dripping with blood!
On its back, the original wound had opened up once again as blood seeped out.
Yi Yun remembered that when he first saw the fire bird in the burning hell's periphery, there was a bloody hole the size of a washbasin on its back. Around the bloody hole, there were charred marks. Even its internal organs and bones were exposed.
The fire bird swallowed the fire ape to heal its injuries.
Now, seeing the fire bird capture the pure Yang spirit, Yi Yun suddenly understood that the large hole on the fire bird's back was most likely left behind by the pure Yang spirit!
The Fire Bird had long discovered the Pure Yang Spirit when it went deep into the Inferno Prison. It wanted to swallow the Pure Yang Spirit, but it was injured by the Pure Yang Spirit. It was even possible that after the Pure Yang Spirit was swallowed by the Fire Bird, it came out of its body, which was why it left such a shocking hole!
The fire bird had left the burning hell to recuperate from its injuries. Now, it had made a comeback because of the pure Yang spirit!
"I actually dared to snatch food from the monster's mouth … If it were to discover my intentions, it would definitely tear me to pieces no matter what."
Yi Yun felt a lingering fear. Thankfully, he had his energy vision. In the burning hell, with the perception of all desolate beasts being weakened, Yi Yun was the first to discover the fire bird flying towards him with his energy vision.
If he had been half a second slower, he would not even have a corpse left!
The fire bird roared as it flapped its wings wantonly. In the burning hell, a violent storm was set off!
Numerous rainbow-colored flames were swept up. Even though Yi Yun was very far away, he could still feel the heat on his face. The Purple Crystal's energy shield was also shattered by the strong winds. It was like a fragile layer of eggshell.
"Terrifying!" Yi Yun was shocked as he watched the fire bird battle the pure Yang spirit.
Against such an existence, Yi Yun had no means of resisting.
Even though the fire bird had been greatly injured from devouring the pure Yang spirit, its remaining strength was far from what Yi Yun could handle.
Yi Yun remembered that the fire bird was able to instantly kill two fire apes even with a large hole in its back.
He could only wait here until the fire bird devoured the pure Yang spirit, or leave after failing to devour it again.
Only when the fire bird completely left could Yi Yun come out. As for what he could do after coming out, Yi Yun did not know. It was probably to continue studying the extremely profound light ball array that would take an unknown amount of time to figure out.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt helpless. He could only blame himself for being too weak. As a result, he could not obtain any of the various opportunities in the burning hell. He did not even get any soup from the fire bird's meal.
As Yi Yun was sighing, his limbs suddenly turned cold. He suddenly had an idea.
He felt that in that instant, a killing intent had swept past him and locked onto his body!
"What is it!?"
Yi Yun probed his energy vision out of reflex. In his energy vision, there were no other desolate beasts lurking in a radius of five kilometers. There was only the fire bird and the pure Yang spirit!
It was the killing intent emitted by the fire bird. It had discovered him!
Yi Yun drew a cold gasp. He never expected that the fire bird could still discover him, who had completely concealed his aura, while fighting the pure Yang spirit.
It actually had such a keen spiritual perception!?
Yes, this fire bird had lived for tens of thousands of years. Although it could not speak, it was very intelligent.
It knew very well that when it devoured the pure Yang spirit, it was at its weakest. If it was seriously injured and on the brink of death, a desolate beast at the level of a fire ape could kill it.
As such, it would not allow anything that threatened it to exist nearby, so as to prevent a third party from reaping the benefits.
Hence, when it was fighting the pure Yang spirit, its spiritual perception was at its sharpest. It carefully searched its surroundings and discovered Yi Yun!
