The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Flame and the Giant Beast

This was an old man, one so old that he seemed to be crumbling apart. At the mention of the word ‘sovereign’, his already ethereal figure trembled violently, and a look of terror crossed his face, as if he had heard something truly horrifying.

The old man suddenly lifted his head to look at Fang Lin, but all he could see was an incredibly bright light.

It was unbearable to look at!

The old man was even more horrified. Although he was merely a fragment of a memory, he was still quite powerful. However, he was unable to look directly at the person above him. It was clear how terrifying that person must be.

“Pill Sovereign?” The old man’s fearful voice was heard, lowering his head.

Fang Lin gave a faint smile, “You, a remnant soul, have actually managed to remain conscious. That’s quite rare. Now that I’m here, why don’t you kneel down.”

The latter half of his sentence held the command and confidence of a Sovereign.

The old man did not respond, instead, his ethereal figure kneeled on the ground, respectfully knocking his head three times towards Fang Lin.

“The junior, Luo Haisheng, pays his respects to the Pill Sovereign senior.” The old man uttered respectfully.

Fang Lin contemplated for a moment, indeed, he did not recognize a Luo Haisheng. This person must be a powerful figure in Alchemy Tao who had appeared only after his previous life had ended.

“Luo Haisheng, you only have this remnant soul left, do you still possess memories from your life?” Fang Lin questioned.

Upon hearing this, Luo Haisheng’s face was filled with sorrow and confusion.

“This junior does not remember anything from my life. All I do remember is my name, and my responsibility to maintain this world in the Cauldron,” Luo Haisheng replied somewhat bitterly

Fang Lin let out a sigh upon hearing this.

Time is merciless, many strong figures once ruled over regions and roamed freely across the lands, but ultimately, even they could not overcome the ravages of time.

“Is there anything else in this world within the Cauldron?” Fang Lin asked again. He had a feeling that there was something more hidden in this world within the Cauldron.

Luo Haisheng nodded, “There is a seed of fire I left behind.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s eyes instantly lit up. So there was a flame seed here, this was indeed a delightful surprise.

“Where is the flame seed? Hand it over to me.” Fang Lin commanded with no room for Luo Haisheng to resist.

Luo Haisheng did not intend to resist. Seeing as Fang Lin had already cracked open the world within the Cauldron and considering his identity as a Pill Sovereign, everything here was at Fang Lin’s disposal.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Haisheng’s figure started to blur and slowly disappeared, leaving behind only a very weak blue flame flickering at the spot where Luo Haisheng had previously stood.

Fang Lin understood that the existence of this blue flame was tied to Luo Haisheng’s remnant soul. If he were to take the flame, Luo Haisheng’s remnant soul would dissipate into the heaven and earth, disappearing completely.

Even though it seemed somewhat cruel, Fang Lin gave it no further thought. Luo Haisheng was already dead, and his remaining soul was only maintaining the flame, waiting for someone in the future to take it.

Regardless of who took the flame, the result would be the same.

Fang Lin reached out his hand and the blue flame swayed as it floated towards him.

The next moment, without any hesitation, Fang Lin absorbed it into his body.

Boom!

In an instant, Fang Lin was enveloped in blue flames. The intense fire seemed as if it was going to burn Fang Lin to ashes.

A look of pain crossed Fang Lin’s face as he clenched his teeth and focused all his energy to refine the blue flame.

This was the third time Fang Lin was absorbing Soul Commanding Pill Fire. Compared to the previous two times, this occasion was far riskier.

The more Soul Commanding Pill Fire one had within themselves, the exponentially more difficult it became to absorb more of it.

Fang Lin already had two streams of Soul Commanding Pill Fire in his body. Absorbing a third one was nearly deadly.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the blue fire raged inside Fang Lin’s body, the purple and deep red flames within his body also erupted, colliding constantly with the blue fire.

It was the instinctive rejection of the Soul Commanding Pill Fire. Only by overcoming this rejection could Fang Lin successfully absorb the third type of flame into his body.

This was a painful process that required unyielding willpower and courage, akin to gambling with one’s life.

Even the most genius Pill Refiner wouldn’t dare to attempt absorbing a third type of Soul Commanding Pill Fire after already having two types.

But Fang Lin dared to take this step. He was absolutely confident. He didn’t care at all about an insignificant flame.

Put simply, he was fearless.

Meanwhile, the four ancient lamps surrounding the altar suddenly shone brightly, as if they had been revived.

As everyone looked on in surprise, the four ancient lamps emitted a beam of light, each landing on Fang Lin.

This made Fang Lin stand out quite distinctly.

“What’s happening?”

“This is so strange! What’s wrong with the ancient lamps?”

“Could it be that Fang Lin has stumbled upon some sort of opportunity?”

Zhuge Cang’s face was grim, and others didn’t dare to speak lightly. They had never seen the ancient lamps behave this way, and it was truly hard to comprehend.

But it was evident that the change in the ancient lamps must be related to Fang Lin, otherwise, their light wouldn’t be shining upon him.

Within the world of the Cauldron, all the flames had vanished, only darkness remained.

However, Fang Lin was now sitting cross-legged in mid-air, the blue flame had gradually merged into his body.

Suddenly, Fang Lin’s eyes shot open and he looked steadily at the void below.

Roar!

A terrifying roar echoed out, and a ferocious black beast rushed out.

With an emotionless face, Fang Lin coldly rebuked, “Scram!”

As soon as the rebuke came out, it was accompanied by the imposing dignity of the Pill Sovereign. The black beast instantly let out a scream and disappeared.

However, Fang Lin didn’t feel at ease. There was originally an imprisoned beast here. It could have been imprisoned by Luo Haisheng before he had fallen.

Now that Luo Haisheng’s remnant soul had vanished and his Pill Flame had been absorbed by Fang Lin, this black beast thought it had an opportunity to escape from the world within the Cauldron.

Unfortunately, this beast was very unlucky. It met Fang Lin. Inside the world of the Cauldron, Fang Lin could use the Pill Sovereign’s pressure without any worry.

After the brief encounter just now, Fang Lin could tell that although the black beast was formidable, it was nearing the end of its life and full of deathly aura. It would perish at any moment.

However, it was no surprise. Luo Haisheng had died years ago, and although the black beast lived a long life and was powerful, it wouldn’t be able to resist erosion by time. Dying was only a matter of time.

But, this black beast was a ticking bomb. Fang Lin was about to leave the world within the Cauldron, and without Luo Haisheng’s suppression, wouldn’t the black beast break out from the world within the Cauldron and wreak havoc?

After some thought, Fang Lin suddenly had an idea.
