Freed from the Ice Lotus's suppression, the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire finally fully revealed the violent power that belonged to a Heavenly Flame. The ice flame, originally no larger than a fist, abruptly swelled nearly a hundredfold!
Brilliant, crystalline icy-blue flames suddenly erupted, and an extreme chill capable of freezing all things instantly swept through the entire ice cavern!
Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan's expressions hardened. They instinctively retreated several steps, circulating their Soul Power to resist the biting cold.
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Mystic Ice Fire, Lin Yan did not act rashly. Instead, he slowly walked over to the Ice Lotus that had nurtured this Heavenly Flame.
Since the Ice Lotus could naturally suppress the Mystic Ice Fire's violent power, deciphering its principles would surely provide some help in his future refinement of Heavenly Flames!
In an instant, the Prajna Heart Lamp deep within Lin Yan's sea of consciousness lit up once more with dazzling Wisdom Divine Light. His perception, comprehension, and intellect began to surge wildly.
His spiritual power spread out in full, enveloping the entire Ice Lotus. The next moment, the Ice Lotus's structure, the flow of its energy, and every minute change within it... all were laid bare before Lin Yan without reservation!
As time slowly passed, the Prajna Heart Lamp's radiance finally receded, returning to silence.
At the same time, Emperor Flame flowed across Lin Yan's palm, quietly condensing and reconstructing a lifelike Nine-Colored Fire Lotus!
Aside from its size and colors being completely different from the Ice Lotus, this Emperor Flame lotus was identical to it in overall shape and structural texture!
Though he had yet to fully decipher and comprehend the principles and laws contained within the Ice Lotus, merely copying its internal and external structure was more than easy enough for Lin Yan at his current level!
And that was enough to help him refine the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire!
Dismissing the flame lotus in his palm, Lin Yan injected Soul Power through his fingertips at a certain rhythm. The Ice Lotus, which had shrunk to the size of two palms, rapidly unfurled and expanded, returning to its original enormous form in an instant.
Having done all this, Lin Yan turned his gaze back to the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire floating in midair.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly reached his hand into the Mystic Ice Fire, whose surface was freezing to the bone.
This time, without the Ice Lotus's suppression, the Emperor Flame coating Lin Yan's hand erupted into a violent clash the instant it came into contact with the outer layer of extreme ice flames!
"Sizzle—"
As Lin Yan's arm continued deeper into the Mystic Ice Fire's core, the extreme cold receded, and the temperature abruptly soared once more.
The searing heat at the heart of the Mystic Ice Fire was even far greater than that of Emperor Flame at present!
Gritting his teeth against the long-forgotten burning pain, Lin Yan finally seized the Core Flame of the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire from the deepest part of the flames!
The next moment, as if it had sensed Lin Yan's actions, the entire cluster of icy-blue flames began to churn and rage violently.
The ambient spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding space surged madly toward the Mystic Ice Fire as though in revolt.
As the Mystic Ice Fire completely went berserk, the extreme ice flames on its outer layer exploded. The already frigid temperature within the ice cavern plummeted once again in a cliff-like drop.
In complete contrast, the temperature at the Mystic Ice Fire's core began to gather and rise!
Seeing this, the two women, already forced into a corner of the ice cavern, had their faces fill with deep anxiety and concern.
"Come out!"
Clutching that strand of near-solidified Core Flame essence tightly in his palm, Lin Yan let out a low roar. Enduring the tearing, scorching pain in his hand, he slowly withdrew his arm from the icy-blue flames.
The instant his arm was fully pulled out, a strand of ice-slurry-like liquid Core Flame could be seen floating in Lin Yan's palm!
The Core Flame was entirely clear icy blue, with only a thin crimson thread wriggling within its core!
Feeling the strange nature of the ice-slurry Core Flame in his hand, which alternated between extreme cold and extreme heat, Lin Yan turned toward the two women in the distance and gave a gentle nod, signaling them to rest assured.
Then, without further delay, he leaped into the air and landed cross-legged at the center of the enormous Ice Lotus's lotus platform.
Seeing this, the two women hurried forward. Noticing the worry on their faces, Lin Yan spoke first, his tone firm. "Don't worry. I'll definitely be fine."
As his words fell, Lin Yan's Soul Power poured into the Ice Lotus. In an instant, the thirty-six petals that had been spread open layer by layer slowly began to draw together and close!
Thanks to the Ice Lotus's innate suppressive power, the previously restless and violent Core Flame finally gradually settled down.
He gazed at the ice-slurry Core Flame in his palm for a moment, then hesitated no longer. He urged Emperor Flame to lock it down tightly, grabbed it, and swallowed it directly into his body!
"Urgh—!"
The instant the Core Flame entered his body, its extreme ice and fire power erupted. A suppressed groan escaped Lin Yan's lips. His entire body shook violently as though struck by lightning, and his once-ruddy face instantly turned pale as paper!
Enduring the agonizing pain of alternating ice and fire tearing through his meridians, Emperor Flame surged around Lin Yan's body, replicating the Ice Lotus's structural texture and condensing into a gorgeous Nine-Colored Fire Lotus that enclosed him once more!
With the outer Ice Lotus and inner fire lotus doing everything in their power to restrain and suppress the Core Flame of the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire, Lin Yan slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness gradually sinking into his body.
As his consciousness turned inward, a misty field of perception immediately appeared within Lin Yan's mind.
At this moment, the Mystic Ice Fire's Core Flame that had entered his body was tightly bound layer upon layer by Emperor Flame, broken down into countless tiny strands of blue ice flames!
Yet a Heavenly Flame was indeed a Heavenly Flame. Even under dual suppression and after being dismantled and dispersed by Emperor Flame, it remained untamable, violent, and explosive!
Emperor Flame and the Core Flame used his body as their battlefield. Extreme cold and extreme heat alternated through his meridians, repeatedly colliding, as though countless blades were wildly stirring and tearing him apart from within. Terrifying energy continuously scoured and sliced through his flesh, blood, and bones!
The torture of both ice and fire swept through his entire body. Every muscle in Lin Yan's body convulsed violently, and veins bulged across his forehead. Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, only to be rapidly baked dry by the alternating cold and heat, forming a fine layer of white frost over his skin.
Enduring the bone-eroding, heart-devouring agony, Lin Yan activated his Soul Power with all his might. The first Spirit Ring around him suddenly lit up, its radiance blooming to the extreme!
A vast refining power continuously poured out from Emperor Flame, beginning bit by bit to erode and devour the source Core Flame of the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire!
As time slowly passed, his consciousness gradually blurred amid the agonizing pain. Lin Yan clenched his teeth tightly, relying on astonishing willpower to preserve his focus as he continued guiding Emperor Flame to consume the Core Flame bit by bit.
But the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire's tyranny far exceeded his expectations. Its nascent spirituality was frantically resisting Emperor Flame's devouring, causing his refinement progress to become exceptionally slow!
"Not good!"
Lin Yan's heart sank. If this deadlock continued, he would undoubtedly be the first to exhaust himself and collapse!
Just as Lin Yan's thoughts raced as he searched for a way to break the stalemate, an aged yet familiar voice suddenly sounded from deep within his sea of consciousness.
"Xiao Yan, steady your mind!"
The long-silent Electrolux had awakened!
Before he had time to consider why Electrolux had awakened earlier than in the original story, Lin Yan's spirits lifted. Suppressing the churning pain within his body, he swiftly sent a strand of consciousness into his sea of consciousness!
