Just as Qin Fengming sensed that massive ball of flame, the Spirit Devouring Netherflame around him suddenly grew violent. One after another, urgent bird cries, beast roars, dragon howls, and phoenix cries abruptly rang out from within it.
Several tiny figures of varying shapes and colors appeared within the verdant flames.
Sensing the sudden change in the Spirit Devouring Netherflame, Qin Fengming showed no surprise and made no attempt to soothe it. Instead, he stood quietly amid the constantly churning and surging magma.
Qin Fengming used his magic power to part the magma before him. As he gazed at the enormous fireball suspended motionless ahead, intense delight suddenly surged through his astonished eyes.
What astonished Qin Fengming was, of course, the discovery of such a mass of flame deep beneath the earth, at an unknown depth within the magma.
The delight in his eyes came from immediately realizing that the flame causing the Spirit Devouring Netherflame to surge, yet appearing extremely tranquil, was precisely a Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame he had sought but never found.
Heaven and Earth Spirit Flames were wondrous flames born from Heaven and Earth that contained some kind of powerful and terrifying force.
Qin Fengming cultivated the Melting Flame Art, which required him to continually seek out Heaven and Earth Spirit Flames or strange flame essences, refine them, and fuse them into the Spirit Devouring Netherflame, thereby increasing the strength of the Spirit Devouring Netherflame formed through the Melting Flame Art.
Put roughly, the Azure Dragon Fire Spirit Essence that Qin Fengming had first devoured and refined after circulating the Melting Flame Art could only be considered a fire essence formed from the condensation of a Heaven and Earth Fire. It could not be counted as a Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame.
