Defeat and Death
But neither the Heavenly Flames nor the soul remained!
This shouldn't be! Han Feng was shocked at the thought!
"Hehe! You're celebrating too soon!"
Then a hand grabbed his neck from behind!
"Snap!"
With a crisp crack, Lin Qing crushed his neck! The once-mighty Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region died just like that.
But that wasn't the end of it. Lin Qing pressed his other hand on Han Feng's forehead, and then Han Feng's soul, along with the Sea Heart Flame, was directly extracted from his body.
As soon as Han Feng's soul was extracted, he tried to escape.
When a powerful person dies, the Soul Body attached to their body is also injured and falls into a coma. If the soul is not strong enough, it will simply perish over time.
However, those with strong souls will not fall into a coma, and may even be able to move and fight in the form of souls. Examples of such individuals include Tian Huo and Yao Chen.
However, many Soul Body in the Dou Qi Continent do not attempt to possess another body because of their pride as strong individuals. Instead, they will take on a disciple to inherit their mantle. But there are still a few who are unwilling to die and will attempt to possess another body.
Unfortunately, Alchemist like Han Feng are known for their powerful souls, especially with the protection of Heavenly Flames, allowing him to at least exert the strength of Dou Ling to Dou Wang.
However, Lin Qing, who was well-versed in various novels, was bound to be wary of him. Just as Han Feng was about to escape, he found himself tightly bound by a massive Soul Strength.
"Han Feng, you don't actually think you can get away, do you? If you manage to escape like this, I might as well quit my job and go home to take care of my baby!"
Looking at the soul he had imprisoned before him, Lin Qing could vaguely see Han Feng's resentful and ferocious face, and he laughed mockingly.
Han Feng was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to struggle a bit more, so he urged the Sea Heart Flame to continuously burn the surrounding soul barrier.
But no matter how much he struggled, he could not shake Lin Qing soul's imprisonment even slightly.
Because Lin Qing's soul was not only protected by the Heavenly Flames, but was also a level stronger than his.
"Spirit Realm! You're actually Spirit-Realm Soul!"
Han Feng also realized at this moment that Lin Qing was not an ordinary Sixth-Grade Alchemist at all, but Tier 6 alchemist whose soul had reached the Spirit Realm.
Given enough time, reaching the Eighth-Grade is a certainty.
Dou Venerable may not necessarily have Spirit-Realm Soul, but if one's soul reaches the Spirit Realm, one will eventually enter the Dou Zong realm. And a genius who has reached the Spirit-Realm Soul at such a young age has a high chance of entering the legendary Saint Realm in the future.
Lin Qing was not surprised that Han Feng had discovered his own soul realm.
However, Han Feng was quite adept at running away. Even though Wind Venerable and the others were unaware that he had betrayed Yao Chen and fled from Central Plains to the Black-Corner Region, he immediately ran away as soon as he sensed something was wrong, truly prioritizing the safety of his fellow Daoists over his own.
"You guessed right, I am indeed Spirit-Realm Soul, but only at the Great Perfection Spirit Realm, so there's no reward!"
Lin Qing took the Storage Ring off Han Feng's hand with a playful expression, and then used his Soul Power to extract the Sea Heart Flame from Han Feng's soul.
Ah~!
With the Sea Heart Flame extracted, Han Feng's soul fell into a deep sleep.
On the Dou Qi Continent, although Heavenly Flames are extremely rare, there are still ways to transfer them after they have been refined.
The first type of extraction will generally damage the cultivation level of the person being extracted from. Without special rare and precious materials, their cultivation level will not improve at all in the future. Even if they can recover their previous cultivation level, their cultivation speed will become extremely slow.
What's unusual is that after the Heavenly Flames is extracted, the original owner of the Heavenly Flames will die immediately or slowly.
The second method involves directly killing the owner of the Heavenly Flames and then extracting it from their soul.
These two methods are quite ruthless, and they are also the preferred methods of some people who will stop at nothing to obtain Heavenly Flames.
The third method is to give actively, either through Soul Mark or through a special Secret Technique of inheritance. He knew that Xun'er's Heavenly Flames inheritance was in this way, and the Burning Flame Valley and the other seven clans also had similar situations. In the original timeline, Yao Chen also gave Xiao Yan the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in a similar way.
Such a gift, as long as one's strength is sufficient or the Heavenly Flames is relatively weak, will almost certainly not pose any danger.
Han Feng's soul strength is still quite good, having reached the Late Mortal Realm. His soul did not perish immediately after the Heavenly Flames was extracted.
It's just a matter of dying sooner or later. Lin Qing doesn't intend to devour Han Feng's soul; he plans to exchange it with Yao Chen for some collectibles, such as Eighth-Grade- Ninth-grade Pill Recipe -Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Qing stuffed Han Feng's sleeping soul into Jade Bottle, then used Heavenly Flames to seal it, placing it along with his physical body into his Storage Ring.
Since it lost its master, the Sea Heart Flame instantly grew from the size of a fist to two or three zhang in size, and began to exude a terrifying aura, with layers of energy ripples spreading outwards.
The deep blue flames looked extremely mysterious, and as they rose, they spread out slowly like clear seawater, creating faint ripples, like waves on water.
If it weren't for the rapidly rising ambient temperature and the violent energy emanating from them, an untrained eye would simply mistake them for beautiful fireworks.
He planned not to refine the Sea Heart Flame, but to exchange it with the Pill Tower for some Bodhisattva Body Transforming Saliva, or he could exchange it with Xun'er.
Lin Qing stared at the Heavenly Flames before him, a burning glint in his eyes. This single Heavenly Flames could be exchanged for at least ten portions of Bodhisattva Body Transforming Saliva.
You should know that many veteran Rank Eighth-Rank Alchemist are still using high-level Beast Flame!
Ten portions of Bodhisattva Body Transforming Saliva can produce ten Bodhi Seeds; if handled properly, these represent ten opportunities to attain sainthood.
However, the most urgent task is to collect the Heavenly Flames and then go back to deal with the remaining people.
Generally speaking, it's not easy to collect this kind of Heavenly Flames without any accompanying organisms nearby!
It can only be retrieved using special tools or by force. The former is fine, but the latter could easily result in injury from the Heavenly Flames.
However, that's for others; for Lin Qing, who's using cheat codes, it's all a minor issue.
"Puff!"
The flames, composed of three different types of Heavenly Flames and the Flame Ancestral Talisman, quickly enveloped Lin Qing's entire body, and then he slowly reached out his hand towards the Sea Heart Flame.
"Feasible!"
Lin Qing felt no burning sensation in his body or arms, and the Sea Heart Flame did not erupt; in fact, it seemed somewhat hesitant. Lin Qing was delighted.
Relying on this protective layer, Lin Qing easily obtained the essence of the Sea Heart Flame, and then quickly put the Sea Heart Flame into the System Space.
After collecting the Heavenly Flames, Lin Qing took a step, and with a shift in space, he returned to the battlefield.
At this moment, Mo Tianxing, the Eagle Mountain Elder, and the other two had been crippled and sealed away by Ling Qingzhu.
The two Protector fared even worse, having been sealed inside Jade Bottle.
"Call!"
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that Lin Qi and the others were unharmed. It was good that the battle ended quickly; he could just lead his men to raid the properties of those forces later!
