CHAPTER 4145

Inside the Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations manual, it was stated that the duration of the Frost Pill’s effect only lasted for about 1,000,000 years.

Thus, James had to absorb and refine the Ignis within this period. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to refine the Ignis with his current strength once the Frost Pill’s effect wears off.

Unfortunately, the time limit was absolute and did not conform to time spent in the real world. Thus, the Frost Pill’s effect would still vanish even if James spent a million years in the time formation.

James approached the Ignis and stood a meter away from it.

The Ignis blazed ravenously, and scorching waves of heat washed over him continuously. The high temperature melted the ice on his body.

However, his body constantly replenished the Cold Energy, which helped him to resist the heat. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

After consuming the Frost Pill, James was temporarily relieved from the heat until its effects wore off. Moreover, he had an Elemental Holy Body. His Elemental Holy Body contained the Fire Genesis and was slightly resistant to the Ignis’ effects.

James sat in a lotus position in the abyss and set up a time formation around his body. He looked at the floating ball of white flame before him. With a thought, he unleashed a powerful force to encapsulate the Ignis.

He used his force to bring a portion of the Ignis toward him. James opened his mouth and drew the Ignis into it. Then, he swallowed it.

The Ignis entered his body, and burned James’ throat almost instantly. Even with the Frost Pill’s assistance, he was still harmed trying to refine it. The Ignis passed through his meridians and caused damage everywhere it went.

The ice on James’ body melted continuously, but the Cold Energy from his body continued permeating his body to resist the Ignis’ power.

“Huff!” James took a deep breath.

“It’s so powerful! Without the Frost Pill, I might’ve died as soon as I interacted with it. I wouldn’t even have a chance to absorb or refine it.”

After taking a deep breath, James calmed himself down.

Then, he slowly began to refine the Ignis he had consumed according to the cultivation method recorded in Flame Art’s Three Fire Transformations manual. The cultivation method was very miraculous and profound.

Fortunately, James was strong enough, he only needed a glance to master it.

James used the cultivation method to slowly distribute the Ignis’ power throughout his body’s meridians.

The process lasted for 100,000 years.

During this time, James had been carefully refining the small portion of Ignis. With his persistent effort, he managed to successfully refine it. The portion of Ignis that James had consumed was minuscule and was about the size of a tadpole stored within James’ elixir field.

“I’ve finally absorbed that tiny bit of it.”

James took a deep breath and murmured, ‘The first step is always the hardest. Now that I’ve refined a portion of it, it will get progressively easier now.”

A hundred thousand years passed, and the Frost Pill’s effects had slightly weakened. Fortunately, James had refined a portion of the Ignis, and his physical body had built a bit of resistance toward its heat.

James looked at the remaining Ignis in front of him. Then, he separated out another portion of it and brought it toward him.

The Ignis entered his body through his mouth, nose, and pores.

This time, James assimilated a larger portion of Ignis.

The Ignis entered his body, and James immediately turned red from the intense heat. The heat ravaged his body even with the protection of the Frost Pill. At that moment, this body began to be covered in injuries.

However, James forcibly resisted the Ignis’ onslaught. He used his Life Path’s Power to heal his injuries.

The time he had left to refine the Ignis was steadily ticking down and he had to act quickly.
