Everlasting Chapter 82: Soulflame (1/2)

Wave after wave of hot air spread outwards. Liu Yuntian, who was waiting some distance away, could feel the power from the hot air and he involuntarily retreated.

”Surely, those two old men wouldn't die inside,” Liu Yuntian suddenly said with a smile, his expression flickering non-stop. Who knows what he was thinking?

”This high temperature is nothing before us.”

”Soulflame, burn everything!”

Even though the temperature around them were constantly rising, there was a thick barrier around the two old men, keeping the high temperature outside.

Suddenly, a clump of flames emerged from each of their glabellas. The clump of flames was only as big as a thumb each; white in colour and smaller compared to the flames from a candlestick. However, when the two clumps of flames appeared, the surrounding hot air retreated while the ground began melting. The rocks beneath became like wax in the face of intense fire as it quickly melted.

The temperature of the two clumps of flames was so dreadfully high that even the surrounding hot air was scorched.

The two clumps of flames were Soulflames, something that only cultivators at a certain cultivation base could condense out. Should a cultivator's Soulflame remain unextinguished, his or her soul would persevere.

According to legends, some with extraordinary capabilities could utilize Soulflame to burn down mountains and boil the sea. It could even scorch the void.

Pa!

A soft snapping sound rang out and their two Soulflames abruptly expanded, transforming into countless star-like sparks, which spread out into their surroundings.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

A series of popping sounds rang out as the restrictions from the surrounding array melted one after another. The unleashed prowess of the two Soulflames shattered nearly half of the array that Ye Ziming set up.

”Soulflame!”

Ye Ziming and Tower spoke out simultaneously and there was no way to tell which of them uttered the word out first. What Chen Feng could discern was that Ye Ziming's voice was outside while Tower's voice was inside his mind.

”This will be troublesome. These two have already attained Soulflames. We will be incapable of stopping them. My array will not be able to hold on for long. Brother Chen, time for you to utilize your magic treasure.” Ye Ziming's face sank. The two old men's might was above his expectations.

Naturally, Chen Feng too, understood how powerful cultivators with Soulflames were. Even in the Longevity Scripture, there was the introduction to Soulflame and the technique to condense them. However, the present Chen Feng's cultivation base was too low and he was too far away from being able to condense out Soulflame.

”A good opportunity! A good opportunity! How unexpected! To think you could encounter two cultivators who have attained Soulflames. Kid, this is an opportunity for you.” Tower's voice took on a slightly excited tone.

”What? Why is this an opportunity for me?” asked a puzzled Chen Feng.

”Your current rate of cultivation is too slow. I will teach you a shortcut. Devour these two fellows' Soulflames and condense out your own,” suggested Tower.

”What? Devour those two fellows' Soulflames? Are you crazy? You are telling me to go die,” Chen Feng could not stop himself from retorting.

”Only by doing so can you quickly improve your strength. In order to gain something, you must make sacrifices that others cannot. This law is something that remains constant since time primordial. Know this, the amount of benefit you can get is proportional to the amount of risk you take. Even though this is extremely risky, the benefits from this is correspondingly large,” Tower explained patiently.

”Humph! Normally, a cultivator at the Concealed stage must cultivate up to level 7 before condensing out his or her Soulflame. Even with the Longevity Scripture's techniques, a cultivator would require a cultivation base of level 3 of the Concealed stage before comprehending the mysteries of the Soulflame. I am currently only at level 1 of the Concealed stage. I will not succeed even if I try to a.s.sail level 2. You actually want someone like me to absorb someone else's Soulflame? The probability of death from doing this is very high!” Chen Feng was still dissatisfied. He felt as though Tower was toying with him.

”That is different. You are not an ordinary cultivator. How many cultivators in this Eternal World can compare with you? You are practicing the Longevity Scripture! It is beyond immortal techniques, a celestial scripture! Besides, the Longevity Scripture originally possesses a powerful devouring ability. The longevity-type primary energy formed from practicing it possesses powerful regenerative abilities. Not to mention, I will be here to protect you. There is no need for you to worry about your safety. I a.s.sure you, even if you fail, there will be no risk of death.” Tower suddenly became more talkative and his words were filled with temptation.

”You can guarantee that no accidents will happen?” Hearing that, however, Chen Feng grew more worried.

”Of course, I am an existence that even Immortal artefacts fear. Why would I lie to a minor cultivator like you? Besides, didn't Boundless fuse part of his essence power into your sea of wisdom? Would he do nothing if something were to happen to you? Don't you want to know who he is? This here is an opportunity for you to quickly grow stronger. If not, given your normal rate of cultivation, which is very slow, when can you reach the Human Immortal stage? It is possible that you will not be able to reach that stage even after my body has scattered apart.” Tower's words began changing, from its original tempting quality to an inciting and confounding quality.

”That… is truly an issue.” Chen Feng grew silent for a moment. It was true. Judging by his current rate of cultivation, who knows how long it would take him to reach the Human Immortal stage. Additionally, he was not some cultivation genius.

”Although it is somewhat dangerous, this is really tempting. Besides, Tower probably wouldn't harm me. Additionally, the Longevity Scripture also contains a technique for condensing Soulflame. Putting that into consideration, I can give it a try.” Chen Feng was moved.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
