As Old Mu Gu fumed in anger, Lin Feng had already arrived before the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Looking at the massive creature before him that stretched endlessly into the distance, Lin Feng muttered in his heart, "Zi Yan, whether this works or not depends on you."
As he drew closer to the enormous dragon lying before him, the oppressive dragon might that came rolling toward him grew stronger and stronger.
Faintly, Lin Feng even began to feel waves of discomfort. Sensing this change, Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly, silently grateful once again that the little girl Zi Yan had given him a Dragon Seal.
However, when he recalled how she couldn't stop smiling after getting that pill, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Under the heated gazes of everyone behind him, Lin Feng walked up to the colossal dragon head.
From afar, compared to the immense body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, his small figure looked no bigger than one of its dragon scales — practically negligible.
It was only after coming into such close proximity that Lin Feng truly felt the overwhelming pressure and awe the creature exuded.
At the same time, although the Three Thousand Burning Flame currently had its eyes tightly shut, standing before that enormous head, Lin Feng couldn't shake off a strange feeling.
It was as though the massive creature in front of him was watching him coldly, even with its eyes closed.
"This Heavenly Flame ranked ninth on the ranking is truly beyond any of the other flames I've ever encountered. I can't even imagine how powerful that golden flame from the Dou Sheng ruins Senior Dan Yitian mentioned must be."
Staring at the massive creature before him, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At that moment, the voice of Elder Qiu Ling rang out from behind him.
"Lin Feng, place your hand upon the forehead of the Three Thousand Burning Flame. There's a scale exposed there. Channel your soul power into it. If your luck holds, you might just be able to subdue it."
Hearing the Grand Elder's instructions, Lin Feng stepped forward and found the massive dragon scale that was as tall as a man.
For some unknown reason, this particular scale wasn't covered in the purple-black flames that shrouded the rest of its body. Instead, it was completely exposed to the air.
However, as Lin Feng's gaze swept over it, he suddenly noticed that the surface of the scale was covered with countless fine black lines, as thin as spider silk. These black lines intertwined with one another, forming strange energy runes that seemed mysterious and complex.
The runes clung tightly to the dragon scale, forming a massive black web that enveloped the entire Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"So this is the seal that binds the Three Thousand Burning Flame?"
Seeing those black runes, Lin Feng's heart stirred. He slightly lifted his head, his gaze darting quickly toward the other scales. Sure enough, he saw that the same black runes covered all of them.
That sight made it clear to Lin Feng — these were indeed the sealing runes placed by the experts of the Pill Tower.
"Hehe, though this seal is strong, it actually makes things much easier for me."
Feeling the powerful energy within the seal, Lin Feng glanced down at the mark on his palm, a faint smile flashing across his face.
Without further hesitation, taking advantage of the obstruction provided by his body, he secretly took out a jade bottle filled with dragon blood. He knew that Old Mu Gu would later summon experts from the Hall of Souls.
Therefore, he decided to capture the Three Thousand Burning Flame as soon as possible, before anything unexpected could happen. After all, this Heavenly Flame ranked ninth could provide an enormous boost to both his Dou Qi strength and the Flame Mantra.
There was no way he would risk letting the Hall of Souls get their hands on it. If they succeeded, he would have no one to blame but himself. Moreover, since he had a way to deal with this creature while it was sealed, why not strike now?
With that thought, he pulled out the stopper with his finger and placed the jade bottle back into his ring. Lin Feng gripped the mouth of the bottle and poured the dragon blood onto his hand. As for the jade bottle, he slipped it back into his storage ring once he was done.
After completing these preparations, he took a step forward toward the enormous creature before him. However, as Lin Feng moved, everyone behind him — including Elder Qiu Ling and Xiao Yan — looked on in confusion.
After all, everyone across the entire Dou Qi Continent knew that a person's body could only contain one Heavenly Flame.
So why was Lin Feng doing something so pointless?
"Could it be that he plans to forcibly capture the Three Thousand Burning Flame and gift it to one of those two women?"
Casting a sidelong glance at Cao Ying and Dan Chen, Xiao Yan guessed silently to himself. Aside from that possibility, he couldn't think of any other reason.
After all, Lin Feng didn't possess something like the Flame Mantra — a unique cultivation method capable of merging flames. At most, with his Dou Zun-level strength, he could only control a single Heavenly Flame.
However, when he remembered that Lin Feng's strength was only that of a One-Star Dou Zun, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a bit pleased.
"That bastard Lin Feng already has one Heavenly Flame within him. With only One-Star Dou Zun strength, even if he has a Heaven Class Dou Technique, there's no way he can subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame — even the Elders like Elder Xuan couldn't do that easily. At best, he'll just end up wasting some of the flame's energy, but nothing more."
Xiao Yan shook his head, continuing to watch the scene unfold before him.
Elder Qiu Ling, upon seeing Lin Feng's movements, also sighed and shook his head helplessly. Clearly, he was thinking the same thing as Xiao Yan.
As for Cao Ying, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly as puzzlement flickered in her heart. From the time she had spent with Lin Feng, she knew well that he wasn't the type to act recklessly.
Seeing that confident expression on his face earlier only made her feel stranger. Lin Feng already possessed the Green Lotus Core Flame, so why would he look so certain right now?
Then, a shocking thought flashed through her mind. "Could it be... this guy can absorb multiple Heavenly Flames?"
But she quickly shook her head, dismissing that crazy idea.
After all, Heavenly Flames were violently aggressive by nature — when two of them encountered each other, they would instinctively devour one another. There was no way multiple Heavenly Flames could coexist peacefully within a single body.
At the same time, beside her, Dan Chen also lifted her delicate face, eyes filled with confusion as she looked toward Lin Feng in the distance.
"Heh, that little brat dared to have that white-robed woman attack me earlier. Let's see how he plans to save face later!"
Compared to the two women's confusion, Old Mu Gu's expression was full of anticipation — waiting to see a good show.
After all, aside from the Flame Mantra, he had never seen any other cultivation method that could allow multiple Heavenly Flames to coexist within one body. He simply didn't believe that brat could have mastered the Flame Mantra!
