Chapter 1486: Chapter 1486: Mastering the Fire Beasts
No matter what, this is a powerful being at the peak of the Creation Realm, and yet there are only so few treasures in the spatial ring.
However, Lin Chen thought about it and understood the reason behind this.
This Fiery Fire Venerable must have spent all his savings to craft that Innate Sword Embryo; otherwise, how could he be so impoverished?
Lin Chen first took out that fiery red treasure armor, discovering it to be a half-step eighth rank magic treasure. With such a high grade, Lin Chen did not plan to refine it for now, as it’s quite difficult.
Although the treasure armor cannot be refined, wearing it for protection is still useful, as long as no one snatches it away. Not refining it is not a big deal.
Lin Chen first removed his original vestment robe and then put on this fiery red treasure armor. He then used a spell to transform it into a black mystic robe; after all, the original fiery red armor looked too conspicuous.
Though the treasure armor couldn’t be refined, when Lin Chen injected spiritual power into it, he learned its name and information. Fiery Fire Profound Armor, a fire attribute treasure armor that can also resist fire attribute energy.
Right now, Lin Chen is amidst the Fire Sea, so this Fiery Fire Profound Armor is very useful to him.
It’s just that Lin Chen cannot refine it, so its ability to resist physical defense is somewhat lacking.
A magic treasure, naturally, only when refined into life-bound magic treasure can it be controlled freely and unleash its full power.
Only refined magic treasures can integrate with oneself, whereas unrefined magic treasures merely exhibit their inherent power when worn.
The harvest this time is actually quite good. Lin Chen’s dive was entirely worthwhile, as he not only acquired a half-step eighth rank defensive profound armor but also obtained three powerful martial arts: Fire Control Technique, Divine Fire Annihilation Sword Formation, and Fiery Fire Sword Technique.
Initially, Lin Chen dove intending to escape, but gaining such fortune was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Besides, there are the Innate Sword Embryo and those thirty-one flying swords here, which Lin Chen cannot obtain at the moment, but sooner or later they will belong to him.
After taking inventory, Lin Chen summoned the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and then had Little Profound Turtle act as protector, as he flew into it.
Calculating the time, Lin Chen had long since been able to once again venture into the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, accessing the teleportation platform there to travel to that mysterious world for body tempering.
But in these ruins, Lin Chen encountered some trouble and worried about exposing the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, hence his hesitation to go.
Upon entering the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen immediately had it transport him to that mysterious world.
Buzz—
After being teleported over, Lin Chen’s physique is now much stronger than before; he finally wasn’t instantly crushed to the ground by that overwhelming oppressive force.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth desperately, trying not to collapse too quickly. Time sped by, and after fifty breaths, Lin Chen found he could still hold on, not yet reaching his limit.
But just then, Lin Chen’s vision flickered, and he returned to the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
"What’s going on?"
Lin Chen was pulled back into the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, panting heavily, filled with bewilderment. In the past, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron only transported him back when he couldn’t hold on any longer. This time, Lin Chen clearly could endure for a bit more, so why had he been transported back?
Thus, Lin Chen inquired with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, and the answer he received was astonishing.
It turns out the time Lin Chen was transported to that world for body tempering, aside from depending on how long he could endure physically, was also determined by the number of lit star maps in the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Because Little Profound Turtle absorbed the starlight from the star map in the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, causing the star map to dim, now only nine star maps remained, limiting Lin Chen’s time in that mysterious world for body tempering to fifty breaths. If not transported back in fifty breaths, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron would have to wait for the next teleportation opportunity to bring Lin Chen back, and undoubtedly Lin Chen’s physique would be crushed by the oppressive force of that world.
To maintain his time in that mysterious world for body tempering, Lin Chen must illuminate the star maps in the second layer space. Each additional lit star map doubles the duration Lin Chen can stay in that world.
Currently, only nine star maps in the second layer space are illuminated, yielding fifty breaths. Restoring ten star maps allows a hundred breaths, lighting the eleventh grants two hundred breaths, and so on.
After listening to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s explanation, Lin Chen felt speechless; apparently, it was all due to Little Profound Turtle absorbing too much starlight.
After thinking it over, Lin Chen ultimately decided to take out the ten million low-grade spirit crystals obtained from Fiery Fire Venerable’s spatial ring and hand them over to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for absorption.
Originally, Lin Chen planned on conserving these ten million low-grade spirit crystals as a precaution, considering he might need a large amount of spirit crystals in this Ancient Ruins.
However, the situation concerning his path of body refinement couldn’t be overlooked; so Lin Chen, reluctantly sacrificing material wealth, handed them over.
As the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron absorbed the ten million low-grade spirit crystals, the previously dim star map rekindled, not only lighting the tenth star map, nearly two-thirds of the eleventh star map was illuminated.
However, Lin Chen did not light them before entering that mysterious world this time, so he must wait eleven days to re-enter that world for body tempering.
This time, when Lin Chen entered that mysterious world, he did not reach his physical limit, thus he did not suffer severe injuries. With Lin Chen’s Ancient Divine Body, he quickly recovered from his injuries.
Once his injuries healed, Lin Chen returned to the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to ponder how to deal with the fire beasts he had captured.
Originally, Lin Chen thought that after capturing these fire beasts, he could coerce them, like he did Little Profound Turtle, into releasing their divine souls, allowing him to impose a divine soul restriction to control them.
However, what Lin Chen didn’t expect was that although these fire beasts were strong, their spiritual wisdom was not as high as he imagined.
Lin Chen simply couldn’t make them understand his intentions to release their divine souls and impose restrictions.
