Black Flame Body

"Black Flame Body!"

Ancient characters flickered in and out of view upon the ring of black flames. An imposing, forceful aura rushed at Lin Langtian head-on, making his breathing stall for an instant.

"What is this?" Lin Langtian looked toward Spirit Aunt, his eyes burning with excitement.

"As the name suggests, this is a rather rare cultivation method with remarkable body-tempering effects. Its creator was once an unrivaled expert from a certain continent, who imitated the undying black flames of our Nine Nether Sparrow Clan to create this cultivation method.

"Later, this cultivation method passed into my hands, and I kept it. This Black Flame Body is merely the first level of the Body Refining Martial Arts created by that peak expert.

"Even so, the Black Flame Body is comparable to the Creation Martial Arts of this continent. It is perfectly suited for you at present," Spirit Aunt said calmly.

"Creation Body Refining Martial Arts!"

Upon hearing this, the fire in Lin Langtian's eyes grew even stronger. Creation Martial Arts were exceedingly rare even within the Lin Clan, let alone Creation Martial Arts focused on body refinement.

Moreover, according to Spirit Aunt, the Black Flame Body had further techniques to follow. Its value was simply immeasurable!

As expected of Spirit Aunt. If she did not act, that was one thing—but whenever she did, it was always something exceptional!

"Don't celebrate too soon. To successfully cultivate the Black Flame Body, you must endure the unceasing tempering of Black Flame Power. The feeling is like being immersed in a furnace of molten lava. This is not pain that ordinary people can withstand..." Spirit Aunt looked at Lin Langtian and said.

She truly wanted to know whether this youth from a Lower Plane, who had always remained so composed before her, could endure this trial.

Hearing this, Lin Langtian froze for a moment. Then his expression turned solemn as he said seriously to Spirit Aunt, "Don't worry, Spirit Aunt. Langtian can endure it!"

After fully receiving the information on the Black Flame Body, Lin Langtian did not begin cultivating immediately. Instead, he spent several more days restoring himself to peak condition before he finally began.

During those days, the Myriad Beast Fruit, nourished by the essence blood of the Ancient Dragon Ape, finally ripened completely.

Inside the cave, Lin Langtian exhaled deeply, his gaze slightly cold. With a flick of both hands, two spirit fruits of identical color appeared in his palms.

Waves of dense energy fluctuation spread out, directly stirring ripples through the air.

These two spirit fruits were naturally the Myriad Beast Fruit.

Although cultivating the Black Flame Body required the continuous scorching of Black Flame, the Myriad Beast Fruit also possessed excellent body-tempering effects. Combining the two would naturally yield even better results.

"Spirit Aunt, begin."

Once everything was prepared, Lin Langtian spoke to the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow above him.

"Very well. Whether you can endure it now depends on yourself." Spirit Aunt gave Lin Langtian a deep look, then opened her mouth. A dense torrent of Black Flame poured forth like a waterfall.

"Boom! Boom!"

Black Flame continuously streamed from Spirit Aunt's mouth, swiftly enveloping the seated Lin Langtian below before pouring entirely into his body.

As he watched those surging Black Flames sweep toward him, Lin Langtian could not help drawing in a cold breath. The searing power of the Black Flame was somewhat beyond his expectations...

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

While Lin Langtian was still shocked, the Black Flame had already swept over him. The moment it made contact, the skin all over his body became scorching hot. A ceaseless sizzling sound, like meat roasting, rang out from his skin.

Under this searing extreme pain, Lin Langtian immediately clenched his teeth, and every muscle in his body tightened.

"Little fellow, this is not how you cultivate the Black Flame Body. If you want to master it, you must activate the secret technique and use the Black Flame to temper every inch of your muscles and bones, allowing them to transform.

"If you merely endure this suffering as you are now, then dreaming of leaving this tiny place would be nothing but a fool's fantasy!" As she watched Lin Langtian wrapped in Black Flame, Spirit Aunt's voice clearly entered his ears.

"Let the Black Flame travel through my body and temper my muscles and bones!"

Hearing Spirit Aunt's sharp cry, Lin Langtian suddenly gritted his teeth, and his taut muscles gradually relaxed.

As he abandoned his resistance, the raging Black Flame immediately surged into his body through every opening.

Within Lin Langtian's body, it was as though flames had flooded everything. Burning pain spread from his muscles, bones, and even his internal organs. It felt as if his entire body were about to be reduced to ashes.

However, although the extreme pain caused by the Black Flame coursing through his body was beyond compare, beneath that agony, Lin Langtian could clearly feel it.

As the Black Flame washed over them, his muscles and bones gradually seemed to grow tougher. A vast heat surged through his muscles, as though terrifying power could erupt at any moment.

"Hiss!"

The Black Flame blazed fiercely as Lin Langtian's body trembled violently. A hoarse, pain-filled roar passed through the flames and echoed throughout the valley.

At one point, Lin Langtian's eyes hardened. He grabbed one Myriad Beast Fruit and swallowed it whole.

The instant the Myriad Beast Fruit entered his stomach, it was like adding oil to a fire. The pain and injuries within Lin Langtian's body immediately doubled, as though countless ants were gnawing at his bones. The pain was unbearable!

Gritting his teeth, Lin Langtian clenched both fists. His longing to become an Expert allowed him to persevere with unwavering conviction!

Spirit Aunt had retreated far away, her gaze fixed gravely on the scene. Since the Black Flame Body had been created by a peak expert, its power was naturally extraordinary.

Yet how could it possibly be easy to cultivate it successfully? Even in the Great Thousand World, perhaps fewer than one in ten could master it.

"Little fellow, if you can truly cultivate the Black Flame Body, then perhaps one day, you really may leave this region. You may even leave this entire continent."

Night and day continued to alternate. No one knew how much time had passed, but under Spirit Aunt's control, the Black Flame covering Lin Langtian's body never extinguished.

Under such burning, two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During those two days, Lin Langtian's agonized roars continuously emerged from the flames. One could imagine just how intense the pain he suffered within must have been.

Even Spirit Aunt was somewhat astonished by this. She had not expected Lin Langtian to persist for so long.

As time slowly passed, another day went by.

Throughout that day, no more pained roars came from Lin Langtian, who remained wrapped in Black Flame. That figure sat quietly within the flames like an old monk in meditation, utterly motionless.

Spirit Aunt stared at the fiercely burning Black Flame. Vaguely, she seemed to see faint specks of dark radiance flowing beneath the skin of the figure within.

"Dark radiance gleams, and the Black Flame remains unextinguished... Has this little fellow succeeded?"

When she saw that flickering dark radiance, a trace of astonishment immediately appeared in Spirit Aunt's eyes. Her mutter slowly escaped her mouth.
