BTTH : From the beginning of the battle to the top

Placing the Azure Lotus Seat on the giant rock in the center of the cave, Lin Yuan used his soul power to penetrate it, separating the blue flame from the lotus seat.

Once the blue flame left the Azure Lotus Seat, it lost the constraints of the seat and instantly surged several times in size, transforming into a mass of blue fire that floated in the air, making the cave feel scorching hot.

Lin Yuan calmly sat on the Azure Lotus Platform, his hands forming several seals.

"Dragon Capture Hand."

A powerful gust of wind, stronger than any previous attempt, instantly surrounded the blue flame, trying to bind and pull it towards Lin Yuan.

As if sensing the encirclement, the blue flame suddenly expanded, emanating a terrifying destructive force, as if awakening, slowly radiating from the blue flame, which became increasingly violent.

However, the Dragon Capture Hand, executed with all of Lin Yuan's strength, was incredibly powerful, and the blue flame was still drawn towards Lin Yuan.

Then, Lin Yuan directly extended his hands, grasping the fire seed that had already been locked onto by his soul perception. For Lin Yuan, who had a solid body cultivation level, the brief contact with the core fire of the Azure Lotus was not too much pressure.

As the fire seed was captured, the surrounding flames converged into Lin Yuan's hands, forming a thumb-sized, jade-like magma strip, which was the essence of the Azure Lotus Core Fire.

Looking at the magma strip in his hand, Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened. He activated the Hundred Beasts Refining Spirit Technique, and his life blood pill released a powerful blood-colored energy to reinforce and protect his meridians, then directly swallowed the fire seed.

After the blue fire seed entered his mouth, Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and his mind gradually sank into his body.

As his mind sank, Lin Yuan sensed the changes within him. He saw that the blue magma that had entered his body had already differentiated into strands of small blue flames containing powerful energy, recklessly traversing through his meridians, trying to burn away any obstacles.

However, Lin Yuan's body, continuously tempered through the Hundred Beasts Refining Spirit Technique, was extremely robust, and with the protection of the blood-colored energy released by the life blood pill, he was able to hold his ground against the blue flames.

Lin Yuan took out a Blood Spirit Pill and placed it in his mouth to replenish the energy of the life blood pill at any time. He then began to attempt to connect with the strands of Azure Lotus Core Fire that were traversing through his meridians, using his powerful mind and soul power to guide these flames to operate according to his will.

With the meridians reinforced by the blood-colored energy from the life blood pill as the battlefield, Lin Yuan engaged in a long struggle with the violent nature of the strange fire using his strong mind and soul power.

After multiple exchanges, the Azure Lotus Core Fire that had been recklessly traversing through his meridians finally began to yield, slowly following the path guided by Lin Yuan's mind.

Lin Yuan tamed the scattered strands of blue fire within his body, controlling them to circulate and converge. When all the blue flames were gathered together again, they gradually fused, ultimately condensing into a small blue magma strip, releasing intense heat.

Lin Yuan crushed the Blood Spirit Pill in his mouth, replenishing his energy. The energy was refined into pure blood-colored energy by the life blood pill, which under Lin Yuan's control protected his entire meridian system. He then directed the gathered blue fire to circulate within his body according to the technique's route.

As the blue fire circulated through his body following the technique's path, Lin Yuan's connection with the blue fire continued to strengthen. The Azure Lotus Core Fire was gradually refined in this process, and Lin Yuan's control over the blue fire became increasingly precise.

"Success!"

As the strange fire was refined, the terrifying high temperature of the blue magma gradually receded, becoming cool and jade-like. Streams of cool magma flowed through his meridians, merging with Lin Yuan's body. His meridians were damaged, repaired, and expanded, continuously evolving, taking on a light blue color that represented vitality. The fighting energy that merged with his blood and meridians also transformed into a pure blue fire fighting energy.

Noticing that the refining process was nearing its end, Lin Yuan took out the Spirit Absorption and directed it into his body. The Spirit Absorption transformed into a wisp of ethereal light, becoming a gray point of light at Lin Yuan's sea of energy.

Then, Lin Yuan manipulated the fire seed to move towards the gray point of light. As the Azure Lotus Core Fire approached the gray point, it seemed to sense a threat and began to resist, but it was too late. Lin Yuan's mind power operated at full capacity, pressing the Azure Lotus Core Fire towards the gray point. At the moment of contact, the light within the gray point rapidly extinguished, and a terrifying suction force drew the Azure Lotus Core Fire inside.

In that instant, Lin Yuan finally completed the last step of subduing the strange fire, forcibly compressing the Azure Lotus Core Fire into the space formed by the Spirit Absorption. This refining process was finally a perfect success.

After successfully subduing the strange fire, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the Azure Lotus Fire Seat. With each breath, pure blue fire energy was released from his body, as if responding to the blue energy emanating from Lin Yuan. The Azure Lotus Fire Seat radiated dazzling brilliance, and the energy released from Lin Yuan's hand seals enveloped both him and the blue lotus platform, ultimately condensing into a blue energy cocoon.

As the energy cocoon formed, the entire cave fell silent once again, and within the silence, a vast power was brewing within the blue cocoon.

Three days later.

Having finished today's training, Qing Lin was resting on the double-headed fire spirit snake, her body like a fiery gem, her gaze nervously fixed on the cave where Lin Yuan was in seclusion, feeling waves of worry. It had already been three days since the young master entered seclusion.

"Boom~~~"

A sudden loud noise erupted, and the mountain where Lin Yuan was in seclusion erupted like a volcano, shooting a beam of blue light from within the mountain. In the blue light, Lin Yuan spread a pair of blue fire wings, standing in the void. Then, torrents of blue fire surged from the cave, and Lin Yuan grasped the air, causing the blue fire to transform into pure fire elemental energy that converged towards him.

Before long, the sky full of blue fire dissipated, and Lin Yuan's fluctuating aura stabilized completely. He had become a Seven-Star Dou Wang.

After refining the Azure Lotus Core Fire, Lin Yuan felt the opportunity to break through his bottleneck and smoothly advanced to Six-Star Dou Wang. Then, utilizing the energy released after refining the Azure Lotus Core Fire, he combined it with the Azure Lotus Platform for further refinement, and after consuming two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, he finally broke through to become a Seven-Star Dou Wang.

"It seems that my method of devouring strange fire energy is indeed quite average. Unlike the Burning Technique, which allows for the complete absorption and digestion of the strange fire's original energy during the refining process for a rapid breakthrough, it seems I need to put more effort into my techniques in the future."

Reflecting on and analyzing the entire process of devouring the strange fire, Lin Yuan descended from the air to Qing Lin's side.

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Yuan looked at the slightly weary girl in front of him, feeling a bit apologetic. She must have been very worried over the past three days. Without saying much, he smiled at Qing Lin, opened his arms, and the girl rushed into his embrace, burying her head in his chest for a long time.

After a while, Qing Lin pulled back from Lin Yuan's embrace, looking at him with a radiant smile, playfully saying, "Congratulations, young master, on achieving your wish and subduing the strange fire."

"I also owe thanks to Qing Er for helping me guard the law; you did very well," Lin Yuan replied with a gentle smile.

"Hehe, I'm glad to be of help to the young master!"

"Well, let's go."
