Qin Chen initially thought it would take considerable effort, but he did not expect that in just a moment, he had already refined the Qinglian Strange Fire.
Qin Chen was taken aback, feeling that something was amiss; it was too easy. Even though he refined it when the Qinglian Strange Fire was at its weakest, the process was still overly simple.
Refining any demon fire, earth fire, or heaven fire is an incredibly complex process. It requires mental energy and flames to gradually fuse together, achieving a perfect resonance before the strange fire can be completely refined.
The refinement of heaven fire is even more difficult because heaven fire possesses its own consciousness. Refining it is akin to enslaving it or even extinguishing it, thus the stronger the strange fire, the higher the difficulty of refinement.
However, with the Qinglian Strange Fire, in just a breath's time, Qin Chen easily and perfectly merged with it. His mental energy completely integrated into it, making the process feel far too effortless.
Even a first-tier demon fire would probably not be this easy to refine.
Despite his doubts, Qin Chen observed that the Qinglian Strange Fire had indeed been refined by him, giving him a feeling of being able to manipulate it as if it were an extension of his own body, as if they had completely merged into one.
Moreover, with the increase in the power of the Qinglian Strange Fire, that scorching sensation, which felt as if it could burn a person to ashes, had completely disappeared, now gently flickering in the palm of his hand.
Forget it.
Not understanding the reason, Qin Chen didn't think too much and directly drew the Qinglian Strange Fire into his body.
Whoosh! A rich scent of demon fire immediately surged in Qin Chen's mind. This Qinglian Strange Fire, under Qin Chen's control, floated above his spiritual ocean, releasing a faint strange fire aura that made his entire soul sea feel comfortable. A breath of life emanated from the strange fire, nourishing Qin Chen's soul sea.
Qin Chen was shocked. What kind of flame is this? How could it contain such pure life force?
"Let's first refine the Hundred Ghosts Curse and see if this Qinglian Strange Fire has any effect."
What Qin Chen did not expect was that when he prepared to use the Qinglian Strange Fire to refine the aura of the Hundred Ghosts Curse, a sudden and intense life-and-death crisis erupted from the depths of his heart. The Qinglian Strange Fire was no longer as docile as before; it suddenly erupted with a powerful and terrifying killing intent, instantly launching towards the soul sea below.
Qin Chen was immensely shocked. He had clearly refined this Qinglian Strange Fire, yet it could escape his control and was launching an attack on his soul sea.
At this moment, the aura of the Qinglian Strange Fire surged violently, a scorching aura rampaging above his soul sea, causing it to fluctuate violently, clearly intending to burn his soul sea into nothingness.
This Qinglian Strange Fire was trying to extinguish his soul.
Moreover, the speed at which the Qinglian Strange Fire erupted was so rapid that Qin Chen didn't have time to react before it reached above his soul sea, the terrifying power of the flames about to explode.
"Do you really think I am unprepared?"
Just as the Qinglian Strange Fire was about to explode Qin Chen's soul sea, the terror on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an unfathomable depth.
In the next moment, countless white lights appeared above the soul sea. These white lights crisscrossed, swiftly forming a net of heaven and earth, blocking the Qinglian Strange Fire.
Simultaneously, the brilliant ethereal sword of mental energy above the soul sea moved in an instant, striking fiercely against the Qinglian Strange Fire.
Boom!
The fourth-tier mental energy sword collided with the Qinglian Strange Fire, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave, rampaging above Qin Chen's soul sea. If Qin Chen hadn't been prepared and set up numerous restrictions in his soul sea beforehand, this single shockwave could have severely injured his soul sea.
