As expected, he was drawn into the ghost flames. The Fire Spirit Pearl started to protect its master spontaneously and absorbed the Netherworld Ghost Flames at great speed.

Tsk! Tsk!

There were a lot of Netherworld Ghost Flames. They occupied the s.p.a.ce of dozens of meters in diameter. However, the Fire Spirit Pearl was taking in the ghost flames too fast. Within a short time, all the ghost flames were gone.

“Huh? Do the ghost flames come from this meatball? Why can this Human-Faced Toad produce the Netherworld Ghost Flames in its body? Is the Human-Faced Toad really a fire-element demonic beast?”

After all the Netherworld Ghost Flames were taken in, Jiang Yi detected a giant meatball in this s.p.a.ce. There was a small hole in the center of the meatball, which was emitting the Netherworld Ghost Flames incessantly.

Jiang Yi once read some books on demonic beasts. As his Fire Spirit Pearl could absorb fire, he paid special attention to the fire-element demonic beasts. As far as he knew from the records on this continent, there was no Human-Faced Toad among the fire-element demonic beasts.

After pondering for a while, he dropped the matter. He moved closer to that fire-blowing meatball with great difficulty and ran the Heaven Extinguis.h.i.+ng Inferno sorcery skill to turn a ball of ghost flames into traces of fire that entered his body. The meridians on his right hand were still broken, and so he had to absorb the fire from his left hand.

Several main meridians in his body were injured as well. He could only circulate the traces of white fire along small meridians, transferring them to his dantian with great effort.

After the fire entered his dantian, Jiang Yi almost collapsed. His body was so feeble that he couldn’t even raise his hand now. In addition, his heart and several major meridians were severely traumatized. Most importantly, he couldn’t take out any healing elixir to recuperate or heal through meditation. He had to wait for the wounds to recover by themselves.

As Jiang Yi moved right now, his wounds were inevitably affected. He didn’t have the time to attend them as the trace of fire might be absorbed by the first star sphere by mistake. All his effort would be all wasted by then.

After resting for a while, he continued to take in the fire. He had to take ten traces of fire in before refining a sliver of powerful flame. After that, this wisp of flame had to be strengthened by the forces of the Nine Heaven Stars in order to enhance its power.

The Human-Faced Toad was quiet now. Although Jiang Yi was inside its belly, the attack it had displayed only included the black liquid and the ghost flames. Who could guarantee that it only had these two methods? Thus, Jiang Yi had to seize the opportunity to refine the Netherworld Ghost Flames as fast as possible in order to kill this Human-Faced Toad.

Two slivers, three slivers… nine slivers!

All of Jiang Yi’s muscles were s.h.i.+vering ceaselessly. His wounds were constantly pestered as he continuously twitched his body. Every time, his face was contorted in a grimace of pain. He broke out in a cold sweat, but the black liquid surrounding him couldn’t even let him sweat properly.

It took Jiang Yi a whole hour to just absorb nine slivers of Netherworld Ghost Flames. He could have finished the task in a blink of an eye under normal circ.u.mstances.

He rested for a long time before he grasped that meatball with difficulty. He took another ball of ghost flames and absorbed it into his body. After the tenth sliver of fire entered the dantian, he let out a deep breath and started to refine the flames after a swift break.

Ten slivers of ghost flames entwined like ten white flood dragons

. They came in and went out, blending with one another. One by one, they were reduced to one.

Hoo-Hoo!

As expected, after the Netherworld Ghost Flames were refined, the flames started to rush violently in the star sphere. The first star sphere became brighter and released a sliver of the star sphere force into the Netherworld Ghost Flames, taming the ghost flames immediately.

“Die—!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes abruptly opened at the moment. With a murderous look, his left hand glistered with a flash of white light. A tiny ball of snowy fire appeared. Inside the fire, there was a mysterious ghost face which appeared to be wiggling. It was frightening for even one glimpse.

“Gudu! Gudu!”

Before the fire completely came out, the Human-Faced Toad which had remained silent suddenly moved. Its belly contracted and expanded quickly, creating the horrible noise again. Jiang Yi’s heartbeat increased by dozens of times. An emotionless voice echoed in his head.

“Human, if you dare to take any action, I’ll kill you instantly!”

Clearly, this came from the beast. The cracks on Jiang Yi’s heart became bigger with its strange bellow and might burst anytime. Blood was surging from his mouth, but Jiang Yi looked determined, more than ever. He yelled frenziedly, “Ha-ha, die! You d.a.m.nable toad!”

Hoo-Hoo!

When the fire on his palm was completely released, the black liquid around him evaporated immediately. The meatball beside him disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eyes. Even Jiang Yi was surprised by the high temperature.

Tsk! Tsk!

The black liquid around him evaporated bits by bits. The meat wall below him started to smoke as well. Without the black liquid, Jiang Yi felt that he could use his essence force now, and his body was full of powerful strength.

“He!”

Smas.h.i.+ng at the Human-Faced Toad’s body below him with one hand, he shot downward. The refined Netherworld Ghost Flames whizzed by, burning the insides of the Human-Faced Toad and easily drilling a hole on its belly. Jiang Yi flew out and landed on the skeletons on the ground.

“Wuu-Wuu-Wuu!”

The Human-Faced Toad howled miserably. Its giant belly was scorched with a big hole. Its huge body shrank rapidly. With its eyes full of terror, it turned into a shadow and dashed towards the cave in the north.

“Trying to flee?!”

Spitting blood sludge, his eyes were filled with coldness. The Human-Faced Toad was badly wounded by him; it was the best time to kill it now. Though he was also severely injured, how could he give up such a good opportunity?

Crabbing a ball of Netherworld Ghost Flames nearby single-handedly, he controlled the ghost flames to enter his dantian for refinement. At the same time, he instant-s.h.i.+fted towards the Human-Faced Toad.

“Human, don’t be presumptuous; otherwise, I will make you stay here forever.”

The Human Face Toad was moving fast, but it was slightly slowed down by his heavy wounds. The speed of Jiang Yi’s instant s.h.i.+ft was so high, instantly decreasing the distance between the two. The Human-Faced Toad turned around and spoke indifferently, but its eyes were in terror.

“Is it so?”

Jiang Yi let out a sneer, which appeared usually savage because of the blood over his mouth and chest.

Just now, he spent a whole hour refining the flames. At this moment, it only took him several seconds. After three successive instant s.h.i.+fts, he was now in front of the Human-Faced Toad. Slapping his big hand all of a sudden, a ball of snowy white flames shot out and hit towards the head of the Human-Faced Toad.

“Wuu-Wuu-Wuu!”

The Human Face Toad gave shrieks of despair. Jiang Yi was too close to him; it couldn’t escape at all and had to wait for death to come.

The power of the Netherworld Ghost Flames was augmented by ten times after refinement. It was definitely much stronger than the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames and just below the flames produced by the Fire Spirit Rock.

Such a high temperature could easily burn the Yazi Beast, let alone this Human-Faced Toad. At this moment, the Human-Faced Toad tried to produce white flames in an attempt to resist.

Tsk! Tsk!

Unfortunately, how could its Netherworld Ghost Flames be comparable to the refined Netherworld Ghost Flames? The flames from Jiang Yi’s palm dashed to the Human-Faced Toad and burned it instantly down to nothing.

Tsk! Tsk!

Now, a feeling of danger surged through Jiang Yi’s heart again. Without any hesitation, he instant-s.h.i.+fted out of the cave and released his divine senses at the same time to find out what allies the Human-Faced Toad attracted.

To his astonishment, the ground that he stood on was lifted up, and a giant ancient vein appeared.

“The Devil Star Vines? What’s the link between this Soul Seizing Valley and the underground world? Why can the Human-Faced Toad summon the Devil Star Vines?”

Questions flashed by Jiang Yi’s head, but he didn’t panic this time. Even the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames could damage the Devil Star Vines, let alone the Netherworld Ghost Flames he just refined. He could get out of here effortlessly.
