Fury Towards The Burning Heaven Chapter 453 - The Star Sphere is About to Explode

Chapter 453: The Star Sphere is About to Explode

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were two ways to play around with the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno.
The first method was to absorb the fire element of heaven and earth before fusing them together to create a formidable flame. This had to be done step by step. First, he would have to create an ordinary flame before creating Earth Fire. Following which would be the Sky Flames, then the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. According to the Witch God judgment—once the sorcery art was at the phenomenal stage, it would be able to create the terrifying Nine Yang True Flames. It was an extremely dreadful flame that would be able to incinerate Heaven Monarch Realm absolute experts easily.
This method required a long period of time and could not be accomplished in a short span of time. Currently, Jiang Yi was in the initial stage and could only create ordinary flames.
The second method was to search the world for mystic flames. Using a refinement method, it could increase the power of the flames—even doubling it. Since Jiang Yi had the Fire Spirit Pearl, it could be seen as an innate qualification for this method. Unfortunately, when his first did the refinement, the Earth Fire was absorbed by the first star sphere. He then no longer spent any time comprehending it.
Actually, there was a third method to refine the flames. However, only Jiang Yi would be able to do it. It was to transmute the essence force contained within the first star sphere in flames. Furthermore, it would become an extremely ferocious flame called the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames.
The might of the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames was tremendous. However, it was still insufficient to cause harm to a group of Vajra Realm martial experts. Besides, he would need to get near his enemy before having the opportunity to launch a successful sneak attack.
The fifth stage of Vajra Realm martial expert could be incinerated in a sneak attack. Once at the seventh, eighth stage, or even the peak stage of Vajra Realm martial expert, their speed and reaction ability weren’t something a fifth stage Vajra Realm martial expert could match up to. Therefore, it was impossible for Jiang Yi to incinerate them.
In whatever realm a cultivator was in—be it the Cast Tripod Realm, Purple Mansion Realm, or Soul Travel Realm, the first five stages of each realm were like a watershed. There wasn’t much of a strength difference between them, and the cultivation progress would be very smooth. After they reached the fifth stage, every advance in stage would become extremely difficult. However, their strength would also increase by several folds for every advancement.
Judging from Jiang Yi’s current strength, he might be able to incinerate the fifth stage of Vajra Realm martial expert. For those Vajra Realm martial experts who were in the seventh or eighth stage like Xiao Longwang, the old monk from Great Zen Monastery, or Ling Clan’s old ancestor, they would all be able to dodge once Jiang Yi got close to them. Hence, there was basically no time for him to even launch an attack. Furthermore… the physique of the seventh or eighth stage Vajra Realm martial expert was a lot stronger than a martial artist at the fifth stage Vajra Realm. Even if Jiang Yi managed to scorch them, they would still have the ability to retaliate. By then, how was Jiang Yi going to defend against their powerful attack?
It was clear that Jiang Yi was still lacking in his attack power. He needed an even stronger flame that would be able to instantly extinguish Xiao Longwang or Ling Clan’s old ancestor.
Therefore, he chose to refine the flames. In the past—whenever he was refining the flames, the Earth Fire would all be absorbed by the first star sphere. Thus, causing him to abandon the idea of refining flames. Now that he understood what was happening, he would be able to think of a solution to this problem.
He released some Earth Fire from the volcano in the second floor of Universal Palace to allow the Fire Spirit Pearl to absorb it. Only then did he allow a small trace of the Earth Fire to turn into a flame strand and enter his dantian.
Tsk-Tsk!
Just as he expected it. The moment that the flame strand entered his dantian, it was absorbed by the first star sphere immediately. However, Jiang Yi wasn’t discouraged by it and continued to channel the Earth Fire in as he searched for a solution to decipher this problem.
A strand, two strands… a hundred strands!
Jiang Yi used his divine senses to probe around and examining closely. His current divine senses had become very strong after he had absorbed a large portion of energy from the Sweet Flag Leaf. Not only did his soul spirit become stronger, but it had also allowed his divine senses to grow particularly strong. At this very moment, he was able to scout around the whole Summer Rain City without much of an effort.
As he continued to examine his first star sphere, he finally discovered the origin of the problem. When those flame strands transmuted from the Earth Fire had entered his dantian, the red essence force in the first star sphere would start circulating immediately as it formed a whirlpool. It would draw flame strands into the star sphere. The moment the strand entered, it would be assimilated, turning it into the fiery red essence force.
After he discovered the source of the problem, he would have to think of a way to solve it.
Jiang Yi channeled another strand of Earth Fire into his dantian. At the same time, he separated a portion of his concentration to control the essence force within the first star sphere. He wanted to make it stop revolving, and he was ultimately successful. That strand of Earth Fire was stored inside his dantian and was no longer being absorbed.
It was just that…
Jiang Yi grew very dispirited. When he wasn’t controlling the star sphere’s essence force, that essence force would circulate itself automatically; and the Earth Fire would be absorbed like before.
“Damn! Do I really have to constantly set aside a portion of attention to control the essence force from circulating every time I refine the flames? If so, wouldn’t I be worn out to death?”
Jiang Yi was speechless. His soul spirit might be very strong, and because of the Myriad Clone, he could split his consciousness into two, three, or four. Putting it into constant use would tire out his soul spirit. Furthermore, even if he had refined the flames, wouldn’t it still be absorbed by the first star sphere? Wouldn’t it just be a waste of effort?
“I have to think of a solution…”
His straight brows knitted up. After thinking for half a day, he still couldn’t come up with a solution. In order to refine the Earth Fire, he had to do so within his dantian. If it went inside the dantian, it would be absorbed by the star sphere. If he didn’t control the essence force in the star sphere, he would never be able to refine the flames. Then again, if he had to constantly control it, he would be tired to death. Ultimately, he was still stuck in a dead end.
“Oh, that’s right!”
Suddenly, an idea struck his mind. Once again, he circulated a strand of Earth Fire into his dantian. Simultaneously, he controlled the essence force within the star sphere to remain still. He waited till the Earth Fire had been successfully stored inside his dantian before he started channeling the Earth Fire into the first star sphere.
Once the Earth Fire entered the star sphere, it didn’t get absorbed because the essence force in the star sphere didn’t revolve. It was deposited in the center of the star sphere and was entirely segregated from the red essence force.
Once this step was completed, Jiang Yi withdrew his concentration and stopped controlling the red essence force. Ultimately… the red essence force did not revolve by itself automatically, and that strand of Earth Fire was peacefully parked at the center of the star sphere.
“Ha. Success!”
Jiang Yi was beaming with a great smile. He had finally managed to solve the hardest problem. Since the star sphere was allocated inside his dantian, and it was filled with fire attribute essence force, refining the Earth Fire within the star sphere might have a better result than refining the Earth Fire in the dantian.
He continued to channel the Earth Fire into the star sphere, and when he had collected ten strands of Earth Fire in his star sphere, he started refining the Earth Fire according to the procedure stated in the manual.
Refining of the flames was a simple process. He just had to split apart all the flames before fusing them together. In other words, Jiang Yi simply needed to fuse the ten strands of flame into a single strand. This was similar to the Exploding Essence Palm, just that it was done in a different method. By fusing the ten strands of flame into one, it would mean to turn quantity to quality. Therefore, the might of the flames would naturally become much stronger.
Jiang Yi had mastered the Exploding Essence Palm for numerous years and was very proficient with it. Therefore, refining flames was like a walk in the park for him. After comprehending it for half a day, he started the process!
He carefully broke down the ten strands of Earth Fire before fusing them together. Although ten strands of Earth Fire were somewhat negligible, the refinement process was being done inside the star sphere. If he wasn’t careful, the star sphere might just explode. Once the surging essence force burst out, his body would explode as well.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi was experienced. A little less than an hour later, he had successfully fused the ten strands in pairs. Jiang Yi let out a long breath and rested for a while before continuing. He intended to go all out and fuse the remaining five strands into a single strand. Once that happened, it would be a great accomplishment.
Inside the blazing red star sphere, it was like a dignified yet bizarre world of flames!
It was completely filled with fiery red essence force, and in the middle of it was a small void. At this moment, the five strands of Earth Fire inside the void were twining around like five dragons spiraling around each other as they swam around unceasingly. The five strands of Earth Fire gradually mix together. One by one, they started disappearing, resembling an Earth Fire dragon devouring the four other dragons.
Buzz!
Just when all the Earth Fire was fused into one, the Earth Fire jolted with radiance suddenly. Its color had also started to change—turning into a dark yellowish color, and its prowess had also become a lot more terrifying.
“Success! Ha! Once I fully refine this Earth Fire, it should be comparable to the Sky Fire, right? If I were to obtain the Netherworld Ghost Fire and refine it, wouldn’t it be even stronger?”
Jiang Yi was silently elated. However, before he even managed to reveal his smile fully, his soul spirit shuddered abruptly; and he was alarmed. He had lost control over the Earth Fire that had been successfully refined. It was wandering around his star sphere rebelliously, causing the essence force within his star sphere to go rampant.
I’m done for; it’s about to explode!
Jiang Yi was terrified to the point that he was almost immobilized by fear. He was able to sense that the essence force within his star sphere had become extremely chaotic because of the Earth Fire’s disturbance. He wanted to cry but did not have the tears. Since he did not have any understanding of this eccentric star sphere, how was he going to resolve this crisis?
