On top of the lotus platform, after Ye Chen finished preparing his defensive measures and retreated several zhang back,
Yao Chen finally extended his palm slowly toward the Azure Lotus Core Flame that hovered at the center of the platform.
A thick layer of Bone Spirit Cold Flame covered his soul-formed palm.
This Bone Spirit Cold Flame was Yao Chen's greatest reliance.....without it, even with the strength of a Dou Sect expert, he wouldn't dare attempt to seize the Azure Lotus Core Flame with just his soul body.
Boom!
Just as Yao Chen's palm was about to grasp the lotus-shaped blue flame, the originally gentle flame suddenly turned violent.
Terrifying energy surged out from within, instantly transforming into a blazing mass of fire.
The temperature surrounding the entire area rose abruptly. Even from afar, the intense blue light dyed Ye Chen's face azure.
"Ah…"
As the blue flames expanded, Yao Chen let out a low roar.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his body surged out wildly, forming a huge pale-white barrier of fire that forcibly wrapped around the expanding blue flames.
At this moment, the protective pale-white fire that had been shielding Ye Chen was fully withdrawn.
For the first time, Ye Chen had to rely solely on his own strength to withstand the scorching magma around him.
Without Yao Chen's fiery protection, Ye Chen immediately tensed.
The molten lava quickly splashed onto his silver-colored battle armor.
Zzz! Zzz!
The moment the magma touched the armor, sizzling sounds erupted as if it were about to melt through.
But as Ye Chen poured more Dou Qi into the armor, its melting was abruptly halted.
"Whew…"
Seeing this, Ye Chen let out a quiet breath of relief.
Although the extreme temperature around him wasn't fully isolated, his Divine Elephant Body far surpassed ordinary human physiques.
The heat that seeped through the armor wasn't enough to threaten him.....though maintaining the Dou Qi armor consumed energy quickly.
The next moment, Ye Chen raised his gaze toward the top of the lotus dais.
There, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame had gained overwhelming advantage against the Azure Lotus Core Flame.
After several violent collisions, the azure flame realized it was no match and began shrinking.
Yao Chen seized the opportunity and rapidly tightened the pale-white fire barrier.
Suppressing the Azure Lotus Core Flame at full strength consumed an enormous amount of Yao Chen's soul power.
He gritted his teeth, persisted with great effort, and finally forced the flame back to its original size.
At this point, the Azure Lotus Core Flame no longer resisted, shrinking timidly at the center of the pale...white fire barrier.
"Master, I've captured it!"
Successfully trapping the Azure Lotus Core Flame, Yao Chen immediately reported to Ye Chen and diverted some attention to protect him again.
"Good!"
With Yao Chen's protection restored, Ye Chen's pressure greatly decreased, and he approached the blue lotus once more.
To restrain the Azure Lotus Core Flame, Ye Chen had Yao Chen bring the Bone Spirit Cold Flame back into the Soul Controlling Banner.
Inside the banner existed an independent space, and energy bodies such as Heavenly Flames could be stored within.
Moreover, the special material of the banner was completely resistant to the burning power of the Azure Lotus Core Flame...even if the flame rebelled, it would be useless.
Afterward, Ye Chen's attention shifted to the intact azure lotus that remained unharmed despite the extreme heat.
Although this lotus was not as valuable as a Heavenly Flame, it was still a rare treasure that required a thousand years for the earth's fire to condense.
If removed, an ordinary person cultivating on it could improve their speed by three to four times.
In battle, one could activate the lotus with Dou Qi to release the hidden earthly fire inside....this alone could threaten even a Dou Spirit expert.
Ye Chen himself had no use for it, but he could gift it to his lovers or family for protection.
Within the lotus platform were lotus seeds known as Earth Fire Lotus Seeds...,each taking a hundred years to form and containing immense energy.
They were highly beneficial even to Dou Emperor level cultivators.
Each of these items could cause massive upheaval within the Jia Ma Empire.
Since Ye Chen came all the way here, he naturally would not leave such treasures behind.
Ye Chen knew the azure lotus was a miraculous material.....ordinary metal would melt on contact.
To extract it, he needed pure jade tools to avoid damaging its properties.
Well-prepared, he took out a slender jade sword from his spatial ring and gently sliced the lotus free from its roots.
The lotus descended gracefully like a piece of art.
Ye Chen waved his palm, pulling it toward him.
He then retrieved eleven small jade bottles and used the jade sword to carefully extract the eleven lotus seeds from the lotus heart, placing them into the bottles.
After storing everything, Ye Chen paused.
