Pure Yang Spirit

Although Yi Yun was extremely excited, he did not lose his composure. He knew very well that although the Pure Yang Spirit was good, it was almost impossible for the Purple Blood Realm martial artist to absorb it!

The energy contained in the Pure Yang Spirit is so strong that it can truly be described as a small sun. If a Purple Blood Realm martial artist were to swallow a small sun, he would inevitably die from the complete burning of his internal organs!

Directly consuming Pure Yang Spirit is almost tantamount to suicide; in fact, even sages wouldn't dare to do that.

According to the records in the ancient books that Yi Yun saw, in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, there was once Savage Heaven Master who tried to refine the Pure Yang Spirit into the Savage Bone Relic and slowly absorb it. However, during the refining process, the Pure Yang Spirit's energy was so violent that the furnace eventually exploded!

Yi Yun knew how terrifying the Pure Yang Spirit was, so he dared not approach it rashly. Right now, the only thing Yi Yun could rely on was the Purple Crystal.

It's impossible for him to directly devour the Pure Yang Spirit; he can only absorb its Pure Yang Spirit from afar using the Purple Crystal.

Thinking about this, Yi Yun felt somewhat frustrated.

The Pure Yang Spirit contains far too much energy, Yi Yun's cultivation is currently limited. It is virtually impossible for him to absorb all the energy of the Pure Yang Spirit little by little using the Purple Crystal, because his body simply cannot contain it!

How much of what a wild beast could possibly eat could a kitten possibly consume?

What should we do with the leftovers? Just leave them here?

Next time I come, this Pure Yang Spirit may have changed its location, and finding it won't be easy.

These thoughts flashed through Yi Yun's mind, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. First, he found the light sphere array with the guidance of the Purple Crystal, but the array could not be broken. He watched as the opportunity was placed in front of him, but he could not obtain it.

Then they discovered the Pure Yang Spirit, but they couldn't eat it.

This feeling of having a treasure trove right in front of you, but being unable to move it, is absolutely maddening.

"Never mind, absorb as much as I can!"

Yi Yun connected with the Purple Crystal with his spiritual power and began to try to absorb the energy in the Pure Yang Spirit. He pushed the <Tai'a Sacred Law> to its limit because he knew very well that with his strength, even absorbing just a little bit of the Pure Yang Spirit would be fraught with danger!

A surge of Pure Yang Energy, drawn by the power of the Purple Crystal, drifted toward Yi Yun.

However... the Pure Yang Spirit's true form only trembled slightly, without any energy leaking out.

"Um?"

Yi Yun was slightly taken aback. He had used the Purple Crystal to absorb the power of the Pure Yang Spirit, but he had only absorbed a small amount of the outer layer of Pure Yang Energy. He hadn't been able to absorb the true core energy.

Why is this happening?

Yi Yun refused to believe it and increased his absorption efforts. The small purple vortex reappeared on the Purple Crystal.

This time, not only did the Pure Yang Spirit not react, but the Seven-Colored Flower also trembled slightly, and its petals seemed to close!

Yi Yun was stunned. What?

As the petals slowly closed, about to envelop the Pure Yang Spirit, Yi Yun was dumbfounded.

What's going on?!

He had been using the Purple Crystal to absorb the Pure Yang Spirit, but before he had even absorbed anything, the Pure Yang Spirit was already shrinking back.

That Seven-Colored Flower grew in the fiery hell. Yi Yun estimated that he was probably helpless against it, and if he attacked rashly, he might be countered by the Seven-Colored Flower.

This Seven-Colored Flower may very well be sentient!

Oh, right... psychic abilities!

The thought suddenly flashed through Yi Yun's mind, and he suddenly understood why he couldn't absorb the energy from the Pure Yang Spirit.

Purple Crystal can only absorb unclaimed energy, but cannot plunder energy from other life forms.

For example, the energy within the bodies of dead Ancient Remnant Species and dead herbs is ownerless energy.

However, the energy within truly vibrant life forms cannot be absorbed by Purple Crystal.

For example, when Yi Yun captured the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, it was because it was a living Primordial Relic Medicine, and the Purple Crystal could not absorb its energy remotely.

Now, the Pure Yang Spirit before them has acquired sentience; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a living being. Naturally, Purple Crystal is powerless to do anything about it.

Thinking about this, Yi Yun felt as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind; he was about to vomit blood!

What is all this nonsense?!

A massive array of light spheres has been discovered, but it cannot be broken!

Upon encountering the Pure Yang Spirit, they were initially disappointed, thinking they couldn't take it away.

He then discovered that he couldn't absorb a single drop of energy!

You can see it, but you can't have it.

Did I go through all this trouble just to watch a show?

Yi Yun was driven to madness. He almost couldn't resist the urge to grab his Thousand Army Saber and hack wildly at the Seven-Colored Flower.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking; he knew very well that with his strength, he was completely powerless in the face of this Seven-Colored Flower.

At that moment, Yi Yun was suddenly jolted.

There's another unusual movement in the Energy Vision!

Moreover, this disturbance was completely different from before; something carrying an astonishing killing intent was rushing straight towards their location!

There are wild beasts!!

Yi Yun leaped out and ran at full speed, simultaneously using the Purple Crystal to gather his energy and holding his breath!

Yi Yun knew very well that the wild beasts that appeared on this level of the Fire Hell were definitely not something he could deal with.

"Roar!"

Yi Yun heard a shrill bird cry that pierced through the clouds and split the rocks, straight to his eardrums!

The bird's cry sounded familiar, Yi Yun felt a chill run down his spine. It was the same firebird he had seen on the outskirts of the Fire Hell!

The firebird, capable of easily devouring Fire Ape and possessing unimaginable strength, could easily tear itself to pieces with a single swipe of its claw!

Yi Yun didn't turn his head; he simply activated his Energy Vision to observe the situation behind him.

Amidst the raging inferno, the enormous firebird spread its wings and swooped down, its entire body covered in colorful feathers and trailing a seven-colored phoenix tail ablaze with flames!

Its target is the Seven-Colored Flower that grows in the basin!

"Boom!"

The firebird's two giant claws gripped the thick flower stem, while its sharp beak pecked at the Seven-Colored Flower's corolla!

The flower's corolla was violently deformed, but this Seven-Colored Flower possessed amazing resilience; even as the firebird tore at it, its corolla did not break.

"Call out!"

With a clear cry, seven-colored flames shot out from the heart of the flower and rushed towards the firebird!

This is an attack launched by the Pure Yang Spirit!

Upon seeing the Pure Yang Spirit flying in, the firebird was on high alert. It let out a sharp cry, and all its feathers stood up like arrows.

"Snap!"

With its sharp claws slicing through the air, the firebird seized the Pure Yang Spirit with a single swipe!

However, the scorching heat of the Pure Yang Fire was too much for even the firebird to withstand. Its claws were quickly burned, and chunks of skin fell off, leaving it covered in blood!

Behind it, the original wound reopened, overflowing with blood.

Yi Yun remembered that when he first saw the firebird on the outskirts of the Fire Hell, he saw a bloody hole the size of a washbasin on its back. Around the hole were charred marks, and even its internal organs and bones were exposed.

The firebird devoured the Fire Ape in order to heal its own injuries.

Seeing the firebird capturing the Pure Yang Spirit, Yi Yun suddenly realized that the large hole behind the firebird was most likely left by the Pure Yang Spirit!

The firebird ventured deep into the fiery hell and discovered the Pure Yang Spirit long ago. It wanted to devour the Pure Yang Spirit, but was injured by Pure Yang Spirit. It's even possible that the Pure Yang Spirit was swallowed by the firebird and then emerged from its body, leaving behind a shockingly large hole!

The firebird left the fiery hell to heal its wounds, but now it has returned, still for this Pure Yang Spirit!

"I actually tried to steal food from this monster's mouth... If it discovers my intentions, it will definitely tear me to shreds, no matter what."

Yi Yun felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, he had his Energy Vision. In the fiery hell, where the senses of all the wild beasts were weakened, Yi Yun was the first to spot the approaching firebird thanks to his Energy Vision.

Otherwise, if he had been even half a second slower, he would have been reduced to ashes!

The firebird roared, its wings flapping wildly, unleashing a fierce storm beneath the fiery inferno!

Countless seven-colored flames were swept up. Yi Yun was far away, he could still feel the burning sensation on his face. The energy shield of the Purple Crystal was also blown almost to pieces by the gale, like a fragile eggshell.

"Terrifying!" Yi Yun was shocked as he watched the firebird fight the Pure Yang Spirit.

Faced with such an existence, Yi Yun was utterly powerless to resist.

Even though the firebird was severely weakened by devouring the Pure Yang Spirit, its remaining strength was still far beyond what Yi Yun could handle.

Yi Yun remembered that even with a large hole in its back, the firebird could instantly kill two Fire Apes.

He could only wait here until the firebird devoured the Pure Yang Spirit, or failed to devour it again, and then leave.

Once the firebird has completely left, Yi Yun can emerge. As for what he can do after emerging, Yi Yun doesn't know. He'll probably just continue researching that incredibly profound light sphere array, the one that might take forever to decipher.

Thinking of this, Yi Yun felt helpless. It was all because he was too weak, so he couldn't get any of the opportunities in this fiery hell. The firebird ate meat, but he didn't even get the soup.

As Yi Yun was reflecting on this, he suddenly felt a chill run through his hands and feet, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

He felt a murderous aura sweep across the area for a fleeting moment, locking onto him!

"What is that!?"

Yi Yun instinctively probed the Energy Vision, and within that Energy Vision, there were no wild beasts lurking within a ten-mile radius, only the firebird and the Pure Yang Spirit!

It was the murderous aura emanating from that firebird; it had spotted me!

Yi Yun gasped. He hadn't expected that the firebird could detect him, even while fighting the Pure Yang Spirit, despite him having concealed his presence.

It has such keen intuition!?

Yes, this firebird has lived for countless millennia. Although it cannot speak human language, it is highly intelligent.

It knew in its heart that when it devoured the Pure Yang Spirit, it was at its weakest. In fact, if it were seriously injured and on the verge of death, even a wild beast of the Fire Ape level could kill it.

Therefore, it will never allow any threat to exist nearby, lest the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman benefits.

Therefore, when it was fighting with the Pure Yang Spirit, it was actually when its spiritual senses were most acute. It carefully searched everything around it and thus discovered Yi Yun!
