Chapter 583 - 683: The Power of the Illusory Fire
In any world, there's a saying: space is king, time is revered. This shows how formidable time truly is!
Of course, Illusory Fire doesn't manipulate time; it traps enemies in an Illusion Technique. Once they're caught, Ye Tianfan can do whatever he wants!
Ye Tianfan gazed at the pink flame and immediately thought this flower bud was incredibly beautiful, a delightful shade of pink.
Then Ye Tianfan attempted to stimulate the flame.
However, this miscalculation led Ye Tianfan straight into spiritual exhaustion.
In just a moment, Ye Tianfan appeared to have lost ten pounds. His face was pale as if he were terminally ill.
After activating the fluffy pink flame, Ye Tianfan suddenly felt his vision darken and nearly collapsed.
Oh, heavens, what is this? Isn't this a spirit pump? There was a water pump before, and now there's a spirit pump.
Amidst waves of darkness threatening his vision, Ye Tianfan desperately pulled out a small porcelain bottle from his robe. He had placed it there earlier after using it, as it's more convenient than storing it in a Magical Treasure. If the Magical Treasure was restricted, no matter how many things it held, they couldn't be retrieved.
Ye Tianfan swallowed three spiritual power restoration pills consecutively before feeling somewhat better, with his appearance slightly recovered.
Most importantly, a hint of pink returned to Ye Tianfan's pale face.
Upon returning to his Dantian, Ye Tianfan looked at the fluffy pink bud with horror. It seemed so adorable before, but now it was more like a Demon!
Ye Tianfan was tempted to throw away the bud but quickly dismissed the thought. You can't just throw away something so powerful!
Nevertheless, Ye Tianfan wanted to figure out how to effectively wield the flame. If he couldn't, it would be useless, maybe even worse than having nothing!
Having it only leads to obsession, and the inability to use it causes growing frustration—sometimes it's better to have nothing at all!
Yet today, Ye Tianfan was determined. He wanted to see the price he had to pay to use the Illusory Fire.
So Ye Tianfan exited his Dantian, retrieved the small porcelain bottle, and poured five spiritual power restoration pills into his mouth, without swallowing them, ready to ingest one or two when his spiritual power was depleted, and a couple more if needed. He had plenty of pills, so taking a few wasn't an issue.
Then, Ye Tianfan activated the Illusory Fire within his Dantian. Instantly, he became emaciated again; without hesitation, he swallowed the five pills.
In an instant, Ye Tianfan's spiritual power was replenished, almost overflowing.
Yet moments later, he felt that all that power was absorbed by the Illusory Fire, leaving him depleted once more.
My heavens, how much spiritual power does this need? Does it take the equivalent of two Ye Tianfans' power? Or does it need seven or eight?
But Ye Tianfan steeled himself. You want spiritual power? Fine, take as much as you need.
Enduring the pain coursing through his body, Ye Tianfan pulled out the small porcelain bottle again, tipping it over his mouth, allowing two pills to fall in, and keeping it there.
Whenever he felt empty, he'd take two more, until he had done this twelve times and finally formed a tiny pink bud in his palm.
Ye Tianfan almost cried upon seeing the fluffy pink bud.
It wasn't easy; it took about thirty pills to summon this small fluffy bud.
Calculating it, that's the equivalent of the spiritual power of fifteen Ye Tianfans!
Another calculation reveals that one would almost need the Baihui Stage to summon such a small Illusory Fire!
Luckily, after summoning, only minimal spiritual power is needed to control the bud's direction.
After reflecting for a moment, Ye Tianfan decided to test the bud's power.
He glanced around and fixated on the Hellfire Snake that had been staring at him.
Really, looking around was just a pretense to say to the Hellfire Snake that it was the only living thing around, so it had to bear the experiment.
Upon being spotted by Ye Tianfan, the Hellfire Snake felt a sharp chill, sensing impending doom.
Though lacking intelligence, it shrugged off the feeling as a possible illusion.
Ye Tianfan slowly approached the Hellfire Snake, seeing it stare blankly at him. Irritated, he said, "What are you staring at? Help out and be a test subject!"
Of course, the Hellfire Snake didn't respond, as it couldn't speak. Even if it could, it had no wisdom, only staring hard at Ye Tianfan.
Ignoring the Hellfire Snake's gaze, Ye Tianfan pushed the Illusory Fire's flame toward it.
Despite the small size of the Illusory Fire, its speed was impressive. In the blink of an eye, it had entered the Hellfire Snake, and its surface began to burn with a faint pink flame.
Huh? What's going on?
Ye Tianfan was curious, wondering if being hit by the Illusory Fire causes pink flames to ignite on the surface.
Moreover, when Ye Tianfan targeted the Hellfire Snake, he set the flame's Illusion Technique.
He configured the Illusory Fire for an Illusion Realm year to pass in five real-world seconds!
It seemed to have worked successfully.
A few seconds later, the pink flames on the Hellfire Snake's surface extinguished, and Ye Tianfan saw exhaustion in its eyes.
However, Ye Tianfan realized it didn't last five seconds from the moment it fell under the Illusion Technique until the pink flames vanished.
What's happening? Did the Hellfire Snake break out of the Illusion Technique?
