BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 324: Devouring!

Chapter 324: Devouring!

Although Xiao Yixian spoke with a light tone, her heart was still filled with tension. After all, devouring a heavenly flame was extremely perilous, with the slightest mistake leading to a fate worse than death.

After speaking, Xiao Yixian lightly tapped her storage ring, producing a small transparent jade bottle. Inside the bottle lay a blood-red pill the size of a dragon's eye, lying quietly. Through the reflection on the bottle's surface, faint shadows could be seen within the pill, and with a slight shake, it seemed as though there was liquid moving inside.

This round, blood-red pill was one of the essential items for devouring a heavenly flame: the Blood Lotus Pill!

After taking out the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Yixian slightly moved her finger, and a gray stone, slightly smaller than a ping pong ball, floated in front of her.

This gray stone, smooth and jade-like without any blemishes, had a faint blue glow in its core, gently writhing like a tiny, living worm.

This precious item was something Gu He had obtained from Protector Eagle and gifted to Xiao Yixian before she left the Jia Ma Empire. It was incredibly valuable, something even the noble families of Central Plains might not possess.

“Void sister, come with me to the bottom of the swamp!”

After preparing these two items, Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast returned to the swamp's depths, arriving at the spot where she had been cultivating before.

Devouring a heavenly flame consumed a vast amount of Dou Qi, and Xiao Yixian chose this place because the toxic water could continuously replenish her spent Dou Qi.

After sitting down cross-legged, Xiao Yixian curved her palm, drawing the small jade bottle into her hand. Tilting the bottle, a round, dragon eye-sized pill with a faint glow rolled into her hand.

Holding the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Yixian brought it to her nose and took a sniff. A peculiar scent wafted to her nostrils, the cool sensation causing even her soul to shiver slightly.

Staring intently at the fifth-grade pill, Xiao Yixian suddenly clenched her jade hand and closed her eyes, stuffing the pill into her mouth.

As soon as the Blood Lotus Pill entered her mouth, it transformed into a slightly cold energy that rapidly spread through her body's meridians, eventually forming layers of blood membranes that seeped into her meridians and bones.

As the membranes penetrated, Xiao Yixian's body began to tremble violently. Threads of blood oozed from her pores, covering her body in a layer of crimson blood in an instant, making her look terrifying.

Soon after appearing, the blood quickly solidified, forming a blood-colored keratin layer. This layer not only covered Xiao Yixian's hands and feet but also completely sealed her eyes.

The blood-colored keratin layer was like a seamless blood armor, tightly protecting Xiao Yixian.

The Void Beast watched Xiao Yixian with her dark eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Void sister, release the butterfly now!”

Following Xiao Yixian's instruction, the Void Beast unhesitatingly released the Netherworld Poison Flame's essence.

As soon as it was freed from the Void Beast's control, the purple butterfly immediately struggled to escape.

Seeing this, the Void Beast quickly formed a series of hand seals, releasing a surge of energy that instantly blocked the escape route of the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Simultaneously, Xiao Yixian swiftly extended her hand, wrapped in the blood-colored keratin layer, toward the trapped purple butterfly, and a powerful suction force erupted from her palm.

With the appearance of the suction force, the purple butterfly within the black water let out a sharp screech and began to struggle violently.

Previously, the Netherworld Poison Flame was subdued by Gu He's overwhelming power and had not truly faced a life-and-death moment, so the purple butterfly hadn't shown much of its power.

Now, realizing Xiao Yixian intended to devour it, the Netherworld Poison Flame erupted with a burst of purple flames, expanding rapidly. A terrifyingly hot temperature exploded at the bottom of the swamp.

Under this intense heat, the water at the bottom of the swamp began to evaporate quickly, causing scalding toxic steam to rise above the swamp.

Fixing her gaze on the increasingly large purple flames, Xiao Yixian intensified the suction force from her palm. The suction, ordinarily strong enough to easily pull a large rock, could only move the purple butterfly very slowly through the black water.

Moreover, each time the invisible suction force touched the purple butterfly, it could only last for four to five seconds before being burned to nothing by the scorching heat.

Thus, although the Netherworld Poison Flame had only moved a few meters, the Dou Qi Xiao Yixian consumed to pull it was immense.

With her eyes fixed on the slowly approaching purple butterfly, Xiao Yixian's breathing became slightly labored, her forehead covered in sweat that trickled down her cheeks. Under the reflection of the blood-colored keratin layer, the sweat appeared like drops of blood.

As Xiao Yixian's Dou Qi was rapidly consumed, she decided to remove the Dou Qi barrier around her, allowing the toxic and hot black water to envelop her body.

Instantly, Xiao Yixian's Dou Qi began to recover rapidly, at a speed even a sixth-grade recovery pill couldn't match.

Supported by this energy, Xiao Yixian's blood-membrane-covered hand grabbed the approaching purple butterfly.

As soon as Xiao Yixian held the purple butterfly in her palm, the blood-colored keratin layer on her hand began to melt under the intense heat. However, as it melted, the power of the Blood Lotus Pill within her body continuously released cold energy. This energy traveled through her meridians and swiftly repaired the melting blood-colored keratin layer on her arm. Eventually, the melting and repairing process balanced out.

Despite fully grasping the essence of the Netherworld Poison Flame, Xiao Yixian hesitated.

Devouring a heavenly flame required directly absorbing it into the body, the most dangerous step in the process. Regardless of how sturdy a person's body was, the inside remained the most vulnerable part. Within the body, even the slightest foreign object could cause extreme distress, let alone a heavenly flame with destructive power.

Recalling the information she had read, Xiao Yixian's hand holding the purple butterfly trembled slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing in her dark eyes.
