Chapter 743: Storm and Shelter
Qin Sang sat cross-legged at the center of the Yan Luo Array of Ten Directions. He took out the Dongming Cold Flame and carefully wrapped it with the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells before slowly removing the barrier restraining its surface.
The cold flame remained unruly, yet still submitted to the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells.
When these two spiritual flames met head-on, it was clear which one held the upper hand. It seemed it wasn’t an exaggeration when they said that Founder Kuiyin had shaken the Small Cold Domain with the Yan Luo Array of Ten Directions.
Facing the Dongming Cold Flame always gave a sense of helplessness, as if there was no way to begin.
Fortunately, Qin Sang had long prepared a plan. He had simulated this process countless times. After a moment of contemplation, he lightly clenched his palm, causing the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells to tremble and begin compressing inward.
The Dongming Cold Flame didn’t resist much and started retreating, shrinking visibly into a smaller sphere of flame.
However, midway through the process, Qin Sang suddenly halted. He sensed signs of instability within the Dongming Cold Flame. If he continued to forcibly compress it, something might go wrong.
"As expected, brute force won’t work. I’ll need a different method."
He muttered to himself and allowed the flame to return to its original state. Then he drew out a wisp of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells, his fingers dancing as he cast a series of barriers that wrapped around the wisp. With deliberate slowness, he guided it toward the Dongming Cold Flame.

The next morning.
After an entire night of work, Qin Sang finally let out a long breath. The exhaustion on his face vanished, replaced by a gleam of excitement as he stared at the blue bead before him.
