Chapter 727: Thundercloud
A thin barrier surrounded the surface of the Dongming Cold Flame.
Traces of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells lingered faintly within the barrier, giving it a grayish-black hue, but that did nothing to diminish the dazzling, pure blue radiance emitted by the flame itself.
Qin Sang held the flame cautiously in his palm and carefully extended a wisp of spiritual consciousness to probe through the barrier.
The moment his spiritual consciousness made contact, a flash of blue light flared from within the flame, and his connection was instantly severed. That wisp of awareness was extinguished in an instant.
Qin Sang could only sigh helplessly.
This wasn’t his first attempt in the past ten days, and the result had always been the same. He still had no idea how to subdue the Dongming Cold Flame.
"Could it really only be used to forge a single-use artifact like the Xutian Thunder?" he muttered under his breath.
Being highly skilled in artifact refinement, Qin Sang naturally leaned toward resolving the issue through that method. After several days of contemplation, he theorized that with the aid of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells, he might be able to forcefully compress the cold flame into a Flame Orb.
If he succeeded, the Flame Orb would erupt with devastating force upon activation, far surpassing the Xutian Thunder in power. Few beneath the Spiritual Infant Realm could hope to withstand such an attack. The downside, however, was that it could only be used once.
"To use such a rare flame for a one-time Flame Orb is too wasteful. And even crafting a Flame Orb isn’t simple. At the very least, I’d have to reach the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm before I could attempt it."
He hesitated, clearly reluctant to part with such a treasure in that way.
After trying a few more times without success and seeing the flame remain completely unresponsive, Qin Sang put it away once again.
