Chapter 120: Black Flame Overlord Physique
The inner space of the ancient stele stretched endlessly. Even after an hour of flying at top speed, Lin Langtian still hadn't seen its limits.
Along the way, he noticed a few rare spiritual herbs, but he didn't bother stopping for them. Though valuable, these items didn't hold enough appeal for him. He knew the real treasures lay at the center of the stele's space, and anything in the outer areas wasn't worth his time.
As he continued forward, the sky turned a deep red, and waves of intense heat began to emanate in the air.
The Golden Crow, which had been flying at full speed, suddenly halted. Lin Langtian frowned, looking at the fiery red sky as the intense heat pricked his skin, a rare feeling even for someone with his physical strength.
"Oh, it seems there's 'Blazing Sunstorm' here in the stele's space," came Aunt Ling's calm voice in his mind.
"Blazing Sunstorm? What's that?"
Lin Langtian extended his hand, feeling waves of scorching energy similar to that of a blazing sun blowing through the air.
"It's an artificially generated phenomenon. This 'Blazing Sunstorm' is highly lethal. If caught in its winds, even your internal organs could suffer burns. Only powerful sects or clans in this realm know how to summon it to guard their domains," Aunt Ling explained.
As a divine beast from the Greater Thousand Worlds, Aunt Ling was no fool. Since learning about her current situation, she knew she would likely have to face this world alongside Lin Langtian for a long time. And the principle of knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses wasn't exclusive to humans.
For this reason, she'd set aside her pride to study this lower realm in depth, especially to help Lin Langtian grow stronger. Devouring Mu Shi's soul provided her with a wealth of knowledge, as Mu Shi, though not one of the strongest, had traveled extensively. After absorbing all of Mu Shi's memories, Aunt Ling's understanding of this lower realm exceeded Lin Langtian's own.
"Should we try to avoid it then?" he asked, after taking her advice into account.
"The Blazing Sunstorm is indeed dangerous," Aunt Ling replied, "but it could serve as a powerful training ground. Your Black Flame Physique is only one step from its peak. If you utilize the Blazing Sunstorm's force, you might be able to push it to perfection. Then, you'll soon be able to start cultivating the next stage, the Black Flame Overlord Physique."
"The Black Flame Overlord Physique?" Lin Langtian's eyes brightened with interest.
"Yes," Aunt Ling replied with a smile. "It's the advanced form of the Black Flame Physique, comparable to a high-tier spiritual martial art. Even at its initial stages, it could make you invincible below the Five Marks Nirvana stage."
Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian looked at the red sky, eyes narrowing with determination. "If that's the case, then let's use the Blazing Sunstorm to forge the third flame mark!"
Having sent the Golden Crow to a safe distance, he found a high mountain peak, sat cross-legged, and prepared for the storm's test.
As the sky above him turned completely red, waves of crimson wind began to form in the air, gradually growing stronger. The scorching winds roared, rolling across the heavens with unbearable heat.
The Blazing Sunstorm arrived swiftly, a red whirlwind that swept across the land with unmatched fury. Even the most fearsome beasts had taken shelter, hiding from the scorching gusts in total silence.
Knowing how powerful this storm was, Lin Langtian would need to activate his Black Flame Physique for protection. Without it, he risked severe burns. As he summoned his Black Flame Physique, his body was quickly surrounded by a blazing aura.
The moment the Blazing Sunstorm struck, crimson winds slammed into his body, searing into his skin with a scorching sting. The intense pain surged over him, his blood feeling as if it might boil.
But Lin Langtian's body was extremely resilient, and he drew upon his inner strength to absorb and channel the blistering energy, converting it through the flame furnace in his dantian to fuel the third flame mark.
Despite the agony, he could feel his muscles subtly strengthening under the storm's impact.
The night wore on as the Blazing Sunstorm raged around him. Lin Langtian remained unmoving atop the peak, enduring the relentless storm.
As dawn broke, sunlight split through the clouds, illuminating the peak where he sat, bathed in the remaining flames of the storm.
With the sunlight's warmth touching his skin, the fiery aura around him began to dissipate, leaving a subtle glow that looked as if his skin itself held traces of flame.
Lin Langtian exhaled slowly, releasing a breath tinged with blood, before opening his eyes. The blazing winds now had no effect on his body, leaving no marks on his skin, which now seemed almost indestructible.
Inside his dantian, the furnace displayed a completed third flame mark.
He had reached the peak of the Three Marks Black Flame Physique!
