Chapter 189 Flame Salamander’s Blue Flame
A current of practically burning lava rapidly flowed from his hands into his meridians .
BOOM!
When that current entered his meridians, it was like salt water had met fresh water, causing violent surges that filled him with pain .
He continued to control the speed at which the energy was flowing into him . If he let that terrifying energy directly flood into his body, his meridians would immediately burst .
His FengFu Star was quickly circulating, and his enormous spiritual qi was pouring out . It controlled the speed at which the Neidan’s energy flowed into his body . He needed to let his meridians gradually become accustomed to that violent heat .
The Neidan was the spot where all the Flame Salamander’s energy had been stored over its lifetime . If the Neidan were to explode, that terrifying energy would be able to immediately exterminate several third rank Magical Beasts .
And despite his slow absorption speed, Long Chen still found the pain difficult to endure . That terrifying heat was constantly roasting his meridians .
There was also a violent Qi that was constantly circulating around . That Qi possessed an instinctual destructive will that wanted to burn everything .
It was good that Long Chen had made enough preparations . With the Fire Gathering Pill, he had a layer of protection over his meridians that prevented that energy from harming them .
He also celebrated that he had just advanced to the seventh Heavenstage, allowing his meridians to grow even stronger . Otherwise even with the Fire Gathering Pill’s protection, he might have already failed .
All things were difficult at the start . But once you managed to get past the beginning, the rest would be comparatively easier .
Long Chen continued to absorb the Neidan’s energy . There was an incredible amount of energy within it, and Long Chen didn’t dare increase his absorption speed, and so it took a full six hours for him to completely absorb it .
By the time all that energy was absorbed, the original beast flame inside the Neidan had also disappeared .
All that energy that had been within the Neidan was now within Long Chen’s meridians . In reality, that energy was the Flame Salamander’s Core Flame .
The Flame Salamander was incredibly strong, most likely even beyond Long Chen’s imagination . If the Flame Salamander hadn’t been weakened by birth that time, he really would have been screwed .
Now the Flame Salamander’s Core Flame was surging within Long Chen’s meridians . Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength slowly erased its berserk nature .
It was lucky that the Flame Salamander’s Core Flame didn’t actually have any consciousness . By using a gentle, stealthy method, he managed to easily erase that destructive will without worrying about a backlash .
Once the Core Flame’s will had been erased, Long Chen took a deep breath . Now was the real test .
“Condense!” Energy surged out of his FengFu Star, entering into the furthest reaches of his meridians and driving the beast flame to the center .
Having lost its will, the beast flame followed his energy surging towards his Dantian .
BOOM! All the scattered beast flame collided together .
Long Chen coughed up blood, his face completely pale .
“d.a.m.n, I failed . I just knew my luck was c.r.a.p . ”
Long Chen gasped for breath . That attempt just now had completely exhausted him . Unfortunately, he had failed to accomplish what he had wanted .
“Although I failed, I saw a flicker of the rune . That means there’s still a chance . ”
Long Chen had wanted to use a fierce collision of the beast flame to obtain the Flame Salamander’s own rune .
As a fire-attribute Magical Beast whose beast flame was ranked ninety-seventh on the beast flame rankings, it possessed its own bloodline inheritance .
Such a Magical Beast’s Neidan contained its runic power . But that kind of rune was unusable by humans .
Long Chen was hoping to have the beast flame collide within his body . During that chaotic explosion, he would be able to grab onto the runic power .
That was only possible because the Neidan he had managed to obtain had barely lost any of its energy back then . As long as Long Chen caused its energy to erupt out, he was able to see that rune .
The Fire Gathering Pill he had consumed didn’t just have the purpose of protecting his meridians . Its main ability was to gather every single bit of flame energy together .
If others did this, their Dantian would explode . But Long Chen didn’t have to worry about that since his Dantian was empty .
“Again!”
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
…
He coughed up blood time after time . He felt that his body was about to collapse . But there was one thing that allowed him to continue .
That was because every time he collided the beast flame, he saw the rune becoming clearer and clearer . However, that rune would only appear for the briefest instance . That moment wasn’t long enough for him to take control of it .
BOOM!
“Wait a sec… ugh, I failed again . ”
With another explosion, the rune appeared again, this time extremely clearly . Long Chen attempted to use his Spiritual Strength to link up to that rune, but the flame energy scattered too quickly, causing the rune to also disappear .
“Ugh, I need a break . ” Long Chen was absolutely exhausted . Coughing up mouthfuls of blood wasn’t something to worry about with his powerful physical body, but driving the flame into huge collisions greatly exhausted his Spiritual Strength .
That was especially true at the moment of collision . He would exhaust use ten times the Spiritual Strength in an attempt to link up to that rune when it appeared .
