I couldn't possibly burn all the energy I had painstakingly converted just to fuel its meager growth, could I? That would make refining and enhancing it far too difficult. After all, the energy I had purified was astonishingly pure. Take vital energy, for instance—even the temperature of the sun couldn't match its energy purity. So that energy feast just now had probably consumed an entire planet's worth.
Energy couldn't be wasted like this. It was completely at odds with my thrifty principles. More importantly, there were plenty of things this fellow wouldn't burn, or the lamp wouldn't have been able to contain it. So relying on it to devour planets was impossible. Its growth had to be fueled by pure energy!
"No wonder Chongshan Immortal was already so old and still couldn't refine you to the point of Heavenly Fire Burning the City. You're practically useless!" I couldn't help lamenting. It wasn't a flame that simply burned everything. If it wanted to protect someone, it would become a suit of fire, absorbing every bit of energy that came near it. Just like the strike I had unleashed when I tried to kill Chongshan Immortal earlier—it had been reduced to nothing because of its protection.
After thinking it over, I felt certain that I couldn't subdue this thing for the time being. I could only hand it over to Han Shanshan for some modifications.

Relying on it for protection would be less useful than simply running faster.
Of course, if there were an energy attack that filled the heavens and earth and killed anything it touched, this thing
