As time passed, the green flames were gradually forcefully extracted by Yan Di. When the last wisp of flame in Gu He's dantian was drawn out, a lively, lotus-shaped green flame appeared in Yan Di's palm.
The terrifyingly hot Green Lotus Core Flame from deep beneath the earth was held in Yan Di's palm. Suppressed by Yan Di's cultivation, it was unable to leave his hand.
