Refining the Fierce Soul
After finishing his meditation and exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Ming immediately got off the bed.
He then twisted his body, and his bones cracked and popped. With each crack, a feeling of comfort emanating from deep within his body surged through him, causing Lin Ming to groan involuntarily.
"So this is what it feels like to be Nine-star Dou Emperor... As expected, it's much stronger..."
"To reach the Nine-star Dou Emperor at such a young age, even with my experience, is a rare feat!" As Lin Ming spoke, Elder Yao emerged from his Storage Ring and uttered these words of admiration.
Faced with Elder Yao's praise, Lin Ming calmed himself and said, "Elder Yao is too kind! Among the billions of beings on the Dou Qi Continent, my cultivation is far from sufficient in the face of true powerhouses. Furthermore, I've heard that there are ancient families and Monster Beast Clan in the Middle Continent who, relying solely on their Bloodline Power, can surpass the vast majority of people. Therefore, my strength..."
"You remain humble and modest despite your achievements, and you are neither arrogant nor servile in the face of those with bloodline advantages, young man. You are very good, and I have high expectations for your future." Looking at Lin Ming, Elder Yao smiled sincerely.
"By the way, Elder Yao! What should we do with the Fierce Soul of the Yun Shan hybrid that you collected?" Lin Ming asked with a smile, even though he already knew the answer.
"The Soul Power Fierce Soul within a Dou Zong and some Dou Emperor Soul Body is extremely abundant. If I can refine and devour it, it can greatly restore my Soul Power." As Lin Ming finished speaking, Elder Yao's smiling face instantly revealed a hint of fervor.
"Besides its Soul Power, this Fierce Soul also contains countless violent emotions. If it continues to devour you like this, your mind will also be affected..." Lin Ming said with concern after Elder Yao finished speaking.
"So we need your help, Lin Ming!" Looking at Lin Ming's expression, Elder Yao said with a smile again.
"Me? Fallen Heart Flame!" Seeing Elder Yao's expression that said he had a way to solve the problem, Lin Ming was puzzled, but in an instant he seemed to have a sudden realization and said.
As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Elder Yao burst into laughter. "Haha, exactly!"
"Since that's the case, let's take advantage of the time we have now and refine this Fierce Soul!" Knowing that suppressing this Fierce Soul was quite difficult for Elder Yao, Lin Ming said this.
"Lin Ming, you suit my taste perfectly. In that case, I won't waste any more time." As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Yao's expression became more solemn, and he immediately moved his hand slightly. With Elder Yao's movement, the White Storage Ring on Lin Ming's fingertip trembled violently, and an unusually violent and fierce aura burst out from it.
A dense, overwhelming Black Mist surged from the White Storage Ring Lin Ming could see, and then quickly condensed into a black figure in mid-air.
As soon as this figure appeared, an unusually strong aura of violence spread throughout the room. However, Lin Ming and Elder Yao were no ordinary people, and neither of them felt afraid of this violent aura.
The moment the Yun Shan fierce soul appeared, it spotted Lin Ming and Heavenly Flame Venerate inside the room. Whether it was because it still retained some memories from its previous life or because of its previous capture, the Yun Shan fierce soul did not pounce on Lin Ming and Elder Yao after it appeared. Instead, it immediately First Revolution and transformed into a black shadow, shooting wildly out of the room.
"Hmph, trying to leave?"
Seeing the Fierce Soul's actions, Lin Ming immediately snorted coldly and stretched out his palm. An Invisible Flames quickly spread out, then transformed into a net of fire, flashing out and finally sealing off the entire room before the Yun Shan fierce soul could reach it.
Upon seeing the invisible net of fire, fear immediately flashed in the black eyes of the Yun Shan fierce soul. He knew all too well the terror of these invisible flames.
Furthermore, the power carried by these invisible flames now under the blockade is far greater than what he felt when he was captured. If he were to come into contact with them, the damage they would inflict would likely be enormous.
Thus, the Yun Shan fierce soul, which had been rushing forward, was abruptly stopped by a piercing sound, and then, just a foot away from the fire net, it stopped in front of it.
Just as the body froze and the Yun Shan fierce soul was about to rejoice, Lin Ming clenched his fist, and the fire net immediately fell down with Lin Ming movement, swooping down like a hungry wolf and directly enveloping the Yun Shan fierce soul.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
As soon as the fire net touched the body of the Fierce Soul, white mist immediately seeped out from its black form, accompanied by hissing sounds and endless, shrill screams.
The Fallen Heart Flame is the nemesis of Soul Body. Its direct burning effect on the soul upon contact is many times more painful than physical burning. And now, with a sliver of consciousness remaining in Yun Shan's Soul Body, the pain he suffers is even more unbearable.
Under the scorching heat of the fire net, the Yun Shan fierce soul was forced to struggle inside. As it struggled, thick black mist continuously surged out of its body, colliding with the invisible fire net around it. Then, the two began to fiercely erode each other.
"Hmph! Still dare to resist!"
Seeing that the Fierce Soul dared to resist even within the net of fire, Elder Yao let out a cold laugh, a sinister glint in his eyes, and said, "Lin Ming, increase the intensity of the Fallen Heart Flame!"
As Elder Yao finished speaking, Lin Ming immediately nodded and then clenched his fist again, causing the fire net to slowly tighten.
As the fire net tightened, the Yun Shan fierce soul immediately began to emit angry shrieks, but no matter how fiercely it struggled, it was still unable to break free from the fire net's restraints, only emitting tearing sounds.
As the fire net shrank, the size of the Yun Shan fierce soul trapped inside also decreased. Seeing this, Elder Yao's expression relaxed considerably. However, seeing the Yun Shan fierce soul still struggling inside, he spoke again, "Lin Ming, keep strengthening it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ming nodded again, his hand immediately clenching tightly, and the amount of Dou Qi he was channeling instantly increased.
As Lin Ming moved, the fire net completely closed in, and the temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame became increasingly terrifying. Finally, the Fierce Soul exploded with a shrill scream, turning into a viscous black mist, which was enveloped in the condensed fireball.
Upon seeing this, Elder Yao was immediately delighted. In his joy, Elder Yao turned to Lin Ming again and said, "Lin Ming, I need your assistance from now on."
"Elder Yao, what do you need me to do?" Lin Ming asked as Elder Yao spoke.
"You just maintain the output of your Dou Qi, leave the rest to me," Elder Yao said immediately upon hearing this.
"Okay!" Lin Ming nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yao immediately began to act. His palm instantly formed a seal, which then rapidly changed. Under Elder Yao's action, the Fallen Heart Flame, which had become a ball of fire, immediately transformed, and in a short while, it condensed into a cauldron of flames about ten feet in size. Within that cauldron was the viscous black mist that had been refining the Yun Shan fierce soul.
Watching Elder Yao skillfully condense fire into a cauldron, Lin Ming's eyes flashed with amazement. Elder Yao truly lived up to his reputation as Dou Zun expert worthy of the title "Heavenly Flame Venerate." His Control Flame Method was truly worthy of the name!
Inside the cauldron, the temperature was terrifying, and under the refining effect of that high temperature, the viscous Black Mist that the Yun Shan fierce soul had transformed into slowly faded away.
Lin Ming knew that once all the blackness within was refined into nothingness, the Yun Shan fierce soul would become an extremely pure mass of Soul Power, providing nourishment for Elder Yao's soul.
The refining process was quite slow; at this rate, it would likely take three or four days to completely refine it. Since he had to deal with the Misty Cloud Sect matter in two days, Lin Ming said to Elder Yao after seeing the cauldron stabilize, "Elder Yao, I will supply a large amount of Dou Qi to sustain the Fallen Heart Flame for at least one day. I will replenish the Dou Qi daily thereafter to ensure you can refine it normally. However, maintaining the cauldron will require your assistance."
Looking at the calm cauldron, Elder Yao smiled and said, "Alright! Lin Ming, go take care of your own business after you're done. No further operations are needed here; just maintain the cauldron and wait for the refining process to complete."
As the two talked, Lin Ming immediately began to frantically output his Dou Qi until it was enough for at least three days. Only then did Lin Ming nod in satisfaction. After speaking to Elder Yao, Lin Ming's door slowly opened, revealing his slender figure.
