Moments later, the white mist began to condense into tiny ice crystals that clung to the surrounding area, protecting the meridians from the corrosion of the Heavenly Flame.

As the ice layer formed by the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain continually melted and reformed, the protective layer that had barely been able to contend with the Green Lotus Core Flame began to falter.

Where the green magma passed, the thick ice layer was reduced to less than half its original thickness.

Moreover, the cold mist that dispersed was mostly burned away by the green flame into nothingness.

This situation undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

The Ice Spirit Cold Fountain could no longer resist the Heavenly Flame’s encroachment.

Worse yet, as the Green Lotus Core Flame was forced to continue flowing through the meridians per the Flame Mantra’s route, it seemed to instinctively sense a trace of unease.

Immediately, the once-tempered green flame, which had grown relatively gentle after circulating for so long, turned violent once again.

And the Ice Spirit Cold Fountain, whose energy had been severely depleted and had become extremely fragile, finally collapsed and dissipated completely.

In that instant, the violent and searing green flame made direct contact with Lin Feng’s meridians.

What followed was an unprecedented wave of intense pain.

Confronting this terrifying high temperature directly, even the green keratin layer formed from the Core Fire Lotus Seed’s energy began to melt rapidly.

But with all his trump cards exhausted, Lin Feng could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

As time passed, the keratin layer formed from the Core Fire Lotus Seed’s energy completely melted away.

The raging Green Lotus Core Flame came into direct, intimate contact with Lin Feng’s meridians.

The scorching heat roasted his meridians until they began to twist and writhe uncontrollably.

In some of the thinner meridian sections, the meridians even began to knot up.

This caused blockages whenever he tried to redirect his Dou Qi.

Faced with this situation, Lin Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Flame were to backlash, he might very well be reduced to ashes on the spot.

The terrifying heat not only threw the internal workings of his body into utter chaos—even the surface of his body began to crack open from the destructive high temperature of the Heavenly Flame.

Blood constantly seeped from every inch of his skin, gradually dyeing his entire body a deep, blood-red color.

The sight was so gruesome that anyone faint of heart might pass out from sheer terror.

However, Lin Feng, who was fully focused on manipulating his Dou Qi to guide the Heavenly Flame along the Flame Mantra’s path, remained completely unaware of the state of his external body.

All he knew was that fiery pain was erupting from every part of his body.

As his Dou Qi rapidly depleted, the Dou Crystal within him quickly dimmed.

After sensing briefly and seeing that the Green Lotus Core Flame had reached the final segment of the Flame Mantra’s meridian path, Lin Feng gave up on the idea of consuming a Qi Recovery Pill, and instead chose to push the flame forward to the end.

Finally, just as the last wisp of Dou Qi within the sea urchin-shaped Dou Crystal was exhausted,

the Heavenly Flame core flame burst through the final segment of the Flame Mantra’s circulation route.

As the green magma completed its circuit through the meridians, the pain that had nearly caused Lin Feng to lose consciousness slowly began to fade.

At this point, the destructive high heat released by the Green Lotus Core Flame could no longer harm Lin Feng in the slightest.

A moment later, the raging heat began to retract, withdrawing back into the magma.

As the fire’s violent nature faded, a faint gentleness began to emerge.

Sensing the state of his body, Lin Feng let out a long, heavy breath of relief, and a joyful smile quickly appeared on his face.

From the current situation, he knew that— he had, for the most part, successfully devoured the flame.

Amid his joy, Lin Feng flicked out a wisp of Dou Qi from his finger, which shot toward the Acceptance Soul on the ground with a faint sound.

Under the Dou Qi’s guidance, the Acceptance Soul turned into a streak of gray light and flew straight into his hand.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng laid the Acceptance Soul flat on his palm and slapped it directly onto his lower abdomen.

The gray little stone abruptly fused into his body.

The moment the Acceptance Soul entered Lin Feng’s body, a blinding cyan flame barrier suddenly burst out from within him.

As it writhed, the cyan flame barrier enveloped him like an eggshell.

The surging cyan flames on its surface completely severed him from the outside world.

This caused the alchemy room to fall completely silent in an instant—only the flickering surface of the cyan flame barrier remained.

The dim cyan glow occasionally cast wavy patterns on the surrounding walls,

resembling rippling green water.

At this moment, the Green Lotus Core Flame inside Lin Feng’s body unexpectedly began flowing freely through his meridians without any conscious control.

At the same time, wisps of fine cyan magma were continuously separating from the flame.

These then adhered to the walls of the meridians—already damaged to the point of nearly losing their ability to channel Dou Qi.

As the magma wriggled slightly, it began to gradually merge into the walls of the meridians.

With the faint cyan flame-bearing magma seeping into the meridians, the previously scorched and brittle meridians—cracked and dried like chips—began to slowly stretch open like grass blades encountering water in a desert.

At this moment, the meridians within Lin Feng’s body let out faint, excited hums.

The cyan magma left behind by the Green Lotus Core Flame was greedily devoured by the parched meridians at an astonishing speed.

As the Heavenly Flame flowed through one meridian after another, each withered vessel it passed through regained vitality.

Furthermore, the muscles and internal organs that had been damaged during the devouring of the flame were also healing rapidly at an encouraging pace.

What’s more, the restored meridians, muscles, and other tissues were now far tougher than they had been before the flame devouring began.

Clearly, although the Green Lotus Core Flame had wreaked tremendous destruction on Lin Feng’s internal organs, its current restorative process made Lin Feng feel quite pleased.

While devouring beast flames in the past had also improved his physique to some extent, in terms of body tempering quality, those beast flames couldn’t hold a candle to this Green Lotus Core Flame.

Even the surface of Lin Feng’s body was recovering swiftly.

The cracks on his skin began to slowly knit back together.

Before long, layers of dry, dead skin began to shed.

The newly formed skin underneath became exceptionally fair—almost like a girl’s.

However, the defensive strength and sensitivity to natural energy of this tender skin

were several times stronger than before.

After a short while, once the cyan magma had completely repaired and upgraded his body, it immediately plunged into the Flame Mantra technique again.

Following this, the efficiency of the Flame Mantra’s Dou Qi circulation improved drastically becoming smoother than ever.
