Chapter 4146
A large portion of the Ignis entered James’ mouth, nose, and pores.
Although James had consumed the Frost Pill, the fire still singed his body.
Soon, bloody gashes covered his skin.
His internal organs and meridians were also scorched.
Other than that, it did not do any other damage.
The Frost Pill’s power protected him, and his physical strength was strong enough to endure the injuries.
Moreover, he also had mastery over the Life Path.
Thus, he could quickly recover from his injuries as long as he remained alive.
James steadied himself and drew upon the Life Path’s power to treat his wounds.
Concurrently, he continued to refine the Ignis.
Minutes went by.
In just the blink of an eye, a million years passed in the time formation.
The Frost Pill’s effect was almost gone.
Fortunately, James had already consumed most of the Ignis, and only a little bit remained before him.
Throughout the past 1,000,000 years, James’ physical body gradually adapted to the Ignis, and he grew resistant to its deadly
heat.
He had already refined most of the Ignis, and the remainder would not be able to harm him even if the Frost Pill’s effects wore
off.
“Huff!” James took a deep breath.
Seeing that only a little bit of the Ignis was left, James murmured exhaustedly, “I’m almost done.
The Frost Pill’s effectiveness is almost gone, so it will take a while for me to refine the last bit.” James rested for a while.
As he rested, the Frost Pill’s effect completely disappeared.
After a brief respite, James continued absorbing and refining the remainder of the Ignis.
He controlled the Ignis, bringing it close to him, and then absorbed it through his pores.
As soon as he came in contact with the Ignis, a large area of his skin was burned.
His flesh was instantaneously incinerated.
The Ignis had unspeakable power.
Even though James had already refined most of it and developed a resistance, he still ended up sustaining damage because he
now lacked the Frost Pill’s protection.
The Ignis’ power continued to scorch his body.
Almost all his skin was burned away in just an instant.
It left his bones exposed and the damage caused cracks to form all over it.
James summoned his Life Path’s power.
The power flowed through his body and quickly regenerated his burnt flesh.
The Ignis constantly damaged his physical body, and he recovered from all the injuries he sustained with the power of his Life
Path.
During this period, James experienced excruciating pain.
The process of him refining the last wisp of Ignis lasted for many years.
After staying in the time formation for countless years, he finally absorbed and completely processed the Ignis.
James stood up abruptly, and the white Ignis lit up his eyes.
He activated the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations cultivation method.
Suddenly, a ball of white flames appeared in his palm.
The flames were beautiful and ephemeral.
However, underneath its mesmerizing appearance was all- consuming power. Even if James had failed to cultivate the Flame
Art’s Three Fire Transformations, he would still be invincible against Quasi Acmeans since he wielded the Ignis.
Now, only powerful Acmeans could stand against him.
James wanted to stay in the abyss and practice the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations.
He also wanted to improve his Formation Path and use it to cultivate other Paths.
Through this, he could raise his cultivation rank to the Quasi Acmean Rank and consolidate all the Paths he had mastered into
Chaos Path.
By doing so, his Chaos Path would be at the Quasi Acme Rank, and he would possess insane strength.
However, he had already isolated himself in the abyss for a long time.
30,000 years had already gone by in the outside world.
He was unaware of what had happened outside this whole time and had no idea if new boons and opportunities had appeared.
