However, although the Dragon Seal allowed Lin Feng to temporarily obtain control over the Three Thousand Burning Flame, this flame ranked extremely high on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
After more than a thousand years of accumulation, its very essence carried a form of arrogance that could not be erased. Now that it sensed Lin Feng intended to refine it, it naturally could not sit and wait to be subdued.
Thus, the moment this origin fire entered his body, an incomparably scorching heat burst out from within the Three Thousand Burning Flame's core flame, continuously assaulting Lin Feng's internal organs.
Some streams of the purple-black flame even pierced straight through his body, spurting out from his pores!
After shooting out into the outside world, those purple-brown flames hovered stubbornly around him, seething with hostility, as though wanting to burn to death the human who dared try to refine them.
But unfortunately for the flame, Lin Feng had already taken an extremely yin-cold pill in advance. All the attacks unleashed by the Three Thousand Burning Flame's origin seed were completely offset by the medicinal power.
The organs hidden behind the cold energy did not suffer the slightest bit of damage. Still, with wave after wave of purple-brown flames spraying out from his pores and gathering around him, those flames accumulated rapidly.
In the end, they formed a purple-brown sea of fire spanning several li around Lin Feng. The raging Heavenly Flame surged and danced wildly, burning even the surrounding space into distortion. For a time, the sight was extraordinarily spectacular.
Sensing the violent resistance of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Lin Feng couldn't help sighing, "It seems the higher a Heavenly Flame ranks, the stronger its inherent consciousness. Without someone strong helping suppress it, subduing one really requires a great deal of effort…"
He recalled how refining the fourteenth-ranked Fallen Heart Flame had taken several months. Even though his own strength now had increased a hundredfold, the energy contained in this Three Thousand Burning Flame was also a hundred times stronger.
Refining it wouldn't be something that could be completed in a day or two. It would definitely take significant time and effort. He quickly steadied his mind and focused entirely on controlling the purple-brown origin seed, forcing it to circulate through his meridians.
At the same time Lin Feng was fully occupied trying to subdue the flame, Xiao Yan had successfully entered the spatial wormhole leading from Holy Pill City toward the Southern Region of Central Plains.
Seeing that Lin Feng had not appeared throughout the journey, Xiao Yan let out a deep breath of relief.
Originally, he thought that after being ambushed by the people he hired, Lin Feng would immediately give up his plan to head to the Beast Region and come straight to Holy Pill City for revenge.
Yet surprisingly, even after suffering such an ambush, that fellow did not return from the Southern Region to deal with him. However, the far more experienced Yao Chen found the unusually quiet journey unsettling. He couldn't help but remind him: "Xiao Yan, you'd better stay alert."
"Based on Lin Feng's behavior so far, he is absolutely not the type to simply let things go. He won't peacefully allow someone who tried to kill him to live comfortably. I say there's an eight-in-ten chance he's plotting something."
"Mm."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, master. I'll stay vigilant. If anything feels off, I'll immediately escape in another direction. I won't give him the chance to ambush me."
"Big Brother Xiao Yan doesn't need to worry. I have two experts accompanying me this time. If Lin Feng dares show himself again, Xun'er can help you eliminate that threat once and for all!"
Seeing her Big Brother Xiao Yan nearly driven to paranoia by Lin Feng, Gu Xun'er clenched her delicate fists angrily.
In her heart, even if Lin Feng were killed a thousand times or ten thousand times by Xiao Yan, it would still be his own fault for courting death. As for her Big Brother Xiao Yan—she couldn't allow anyone to insult him, not even verbally.
Let alone place him in danger—whoever caused that deserved death a thousand times over. Of course, if Lin Feng heard the thoughts inside Gu Xun'er's heart, he would probably be so furious he'd jump up and down on the spot, cursing her outrageous double standards.
However, when he remembered how Liu Xi was handled in the original story — causing Xiao Yan a little trouble and then getting instantly butchered by Gu Xun'er — he felt a bit more relieved.
After all, trying to reason with this proud young lady of the Gu Clan, whose eyes held absolutely no one but Xiao Yan, did not seem like something that would ever work. But even though Lin Feng wasn't here, Zi Yan was secretly listening to everything from the shadows.
After hearing Gu Xun'er's words, Zi Yan, who was already terrible at controlling her temper, almost coughed up blood from sheer anger. Clearly none of them had ever taken the initiative to attack Xiao Yan.
Everything had been provoked by Xiao Yan himself, alright? So how the hell did it turn into them being "deserving of death" from that girl's mouth?
Thinking of this, Zi Yan ground her silver teeth and muttered coldly, "You damned woman, you dare provoke Lady Zi Yan? Don't think you're getting away with it. In a moment, I'll let you watch with your own eyes as Xiao Yan gets beaten half-dead right in front of you."
By now, she could tell they weren't far from the space wormhole's exit.
So she lightly tapped the void with her jade-like foot, and her delicate figure shot forward violently. In the blink of an eye, she had overtaken the spatial ship Xiao Yan's group was riding.
While none of them noticed anything, she sped toward the wormhole's exit at extreme speed.
"Forget about Lin Feng for now. We're almost at the exit. Xun'er, let's head out."
Seeing the rapidly expanding white light ahead, Xiao Yan turned toward the girl beside him.
"Big Brother Xiao Yan, it's better if Xun'er goes out first and checks the situation. What if Lin Feng already guessed you'd return to Falling Star Pavilion and ambushes you outside the exit?"
Before Xiao Yan could refuse, Gu Xun'er's figure left the spatial ship and shot toward the exit.
"Xun'er, you…"
Just as Xiao Yan started to speak, he saw her figure vanish from the deck, leaving him no choice but to smile helplessly.
"Hehe, that girl's really fallen deep for you. She's literally willing to run ahead and step on traps for you."
Watching Gu Xun'er's figure rapidly shrink into the distance, Yao Chen teased with a grin.
"Master, can you stop teasing me all the time?"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes helplessly.
But before he could finish speaking, the space above their deck suddenly tore open, forming a pitch-black rift. In the next moment, before anyone could react, two figures shot out from within at terrifying speed.
