Nine Flames True Monarch
With Shi Yue's full support, the red flames surged, completely enveloping the golden flames. A dozen or so clusters of golden flame were trapped beneath the Black Rosy Light, unable to move.
The Spiritually Connected Magic Treasure, the Illusion Demon Spirit Pupil, consumed a great deal of mana. Shi Yue's face paled once more.
The red flames churned and rolled, rapidly shrinking until they became a fist-sized orb of crimson and gold. It flew back into Shi Yue's hand.
Shi Yue could sense that Shi Yan had fallen into a deep sleep. It had devoured too much Nine Flames True Flame and would need a long time to refine it. When it awoke, it would likely have become a Sixth-Rank Spirit Flame. Sixth-Rank Spirit Flames corresponded to the Void Refining Stage and could serve as a trump card.
He let out a long breath of relief. If he hadn't had the Illusion Demon Spirit Pupil, a Spiritually Connected Magic Treasure, to temporarily pin down a small portion of the Nine Flames True Flame, Shi Yan might have been devoured by it.
They had agreed that he would subdue one or two wisps of Nine Flames True Flame, but now he had subdued dozens of clusters. Ouyang Ming would probably be in tears.
"Senior Ouyang, I've subdued some of the Nine Flames True Flame. You can lift the restrictions now," Shi Yue said.
He turned around and saw Ouyang Ming wearing a long face. Shi Yue couldn't help but feel both amused and awkward.
It was hard to refuse a favor after accepting it. He had gotten such a huge advantage from the Nine Flames Sect; he had to offer some compensation, or it wouldn't be right.
Ouyang Ming made a Hand Seal toward his command token.
