CapĂtulo 1946: Chapter 999: Clash of Exotic Flames (2)
Itâs clear that the spirituality of the Red Lotus Karma Flame is not low, as it immediately sensed the Earth Spirit Rat had its eyes set on the Red Flame Crystal.
These Red Flame Crystals themselves are crystallized after millions of years of burning by the Red Lotus Karma Flame, akin to the children of Exotic Flames.
Regarding the Red Flame Crystals, the Red Lotus Karma Flame certainly wonât permit any species to take them away.
However, earlier the Earth Spirit Rat hadnât made a move nor shown any obvious intent, so the Red Lotus Karma Flame wouldnât act rashly.
But as soon as the Earth Spirit Rat took action, the Red Lotus Karma Flame became extremely agitated to protect these Red Flame Crystals.
At the same time, the Red Lotus Karma Flame launched an attack, intending to expel the creature plotting for the Red Flame Crystals.
Thus, at the moment the Earth Spirit Rat made a move, the Red Lotus Karma Flame began to rise and flare, quickly forming a sea of fire covering the entire pit.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianming watched this scene with a calm expression, his hands didnât stop moving.
With his control, the fireball in his palm suddenly shot out, directly towards the center of the pit at an incredible speed.
And this fireball is undoubtedly the Tianxin True Flame.
Driven by Lin Tianming, the fireball of Tianxin True Flame rushed into the fiery sea formed by the Red Lotus Karma Flame.
Immediately, Tianxin True Flame also transformed into a sea of fire, fully enveloping the flames of the Red Lotus Karma Flame.
At that moment, the two flames intertwined, each impacting the otherâs territory.
Especially within that sea of fire, the original flames of the Red Lotus Karma Flame were the main target of Tianxin True Flameâs attack.
And this trajectory is exactly Lin Tianmingâs intention.
Because in his view, to suppress the Red Lotus Karma Flame, he must create significant pressure on its original flames.
If the Red Lotus Karma Flame is unable to attend to the Earth Spirit Rat, then the Earth Spirit Rat will have a much easier time collecting the Red Flame Crystals.
This itself is the key point of the agreement.
As for the Earth Spirit Rat, regardless of how difficult collecting the Red Flame Crystals is, it doesnât relate much to Lin Tianming.
In fact, the Earth Spirit Rat has been preparing for these Red Flame Crystals for a long time.
Moreover, given the Earth Spirit Ratâs Fourth Order grade, dealing with those blue terrifying lava should not be too difficult.
Sure enough, after Lin Tianming activated Tianxin True Flame, the fiery sea released by Red Lotus Karma Flame immediately began to shrink.
Although the shrinking speed is slow, itâs still visibly noticeable.
Taking advantage of the shrinking fiery sea, the Earth Spirit Ratâs body rushed into the pitâs range at lightning speed.
Witnessing this, Lin Tianming was not surprised.
So in the next moment, Lin Tianming fully controlled Tianxin True Flame, charging towards the center of another fiery sea.
According to his plan, the current Tianxin True Flame would concentrate its strength, striving to tear open a path through the fiery sea.
At the same time, he also needed to maintain the stability of this path, preventing it from being covered by the Red Lotus Karma Flame again.
Because once covered, the Earth Spirit Rat would not be able to stand its ground, let alone have the time and energy to collect the Red Flame Crystals tumbling in the lava.
In this way, Lin Tianmingâs actions were entirely to pave a safe path for the Earth Spirit Ratâs next move.
Maintaining the stability of the channel was also to win time for the Earth Spirit Rat, facilitating faster collection of the Red Flame Crystals.
With this goal in mind, Lin Tianming controlled Tianxin True Flame, launching an attack towards the original flames in the fiery sea.
At this moment, with the changes in Tianxin True Flame, the Red Lotus Karma Flame was indeed under immense pressure.
Because of this, despite not wanting to deal with Tianxin True Flameâs attack, the Red Lotus Karma Flameâs power, having undergone multiple mutations, was far more formidable than Red Lotus Karma Flame, with much stronger suppressive force.
One reason being, Tianxin True Flame is of a higher rank, with one flame equivalent to three Exotic Flames.
If these flames werenât entirely Original Fire Seeds, the Red Lotus Karma Flame might have long retreated.
But this situation was precisely Lin Tianmingâs intention.
Because Lin Tianmingâs current goal was merely to help the Earth Spirit Rat open a channel and maintain it for a while, to prevent the Earth Spirit Rat from being overwhelmed by the crazy attacks of the Red Lotus Karma Flame during the collection of Red Flame Crystals.
With this purpose, Lin Tianming didnât need to exert full force, nor to use all of the flameâs source.
Once done, the Red Lotus Karma Flame could be suppressed instantly, making it difficult to create much pressure on the Earth Spirit Rat.
Therefore, Lin Tianming used only one-third of the flameâs source power, just enough to make the Red Lotus Karma Flame apprehensive without retreating easily.
Conversely, if the suppressive force on the Red Lotus Karma Flame was insufficient, the Earth Spirit Rat might not be able to successfully obtain the Red Flame Crystals.
This mentality was why Lin Tianming, for his selfish reasons, didnât want to display the full strength of Tianxin True Flame, fearing the Earth Spirit Rat would realize he had the capability to definitely suppress but wouldnât help it collect more Red Flame Crystals.
Therefore, to prevent the Earth Spirit Rat from easily collecting large quantities of Red Flame Crystals, Lin Tianming only used part of the source power.
Beyond this, he didnât want the Earth Spirit Rat to bear too much pressure, resulting in insufficient Red Flame Crystal acquisition.
The ideal result would be for the Earth Spirit Rat to expend considerable effort and just manage to collect the amount of Red Flame Crystals it expected, satisfying it with this treasure hunting process.
At that time, with the Earth Spirit Rat leaving contentedly, this joint treasure hunt would conclude perfectly.
Then, the Earth Spirit Rat would get what it wanted, and Lin Tianming would fulfill the initial agreement, gaining his share of the benefits.
As for the aftermath, once the cooperative Earth Spirit Rat leaves, Lin Tianming would no longer need to hide his strength.
Because Lin Tianming wished to subdue Red Lotus Karma Flame and obtain all the Red Flame Crystals within the lava.
This mentality was why Lin Tianming preserved some strength while also displaying an intention to typically eat chicken.
Doing so was solely to give the Earth Spirit Rat an account.
Thus, under Lin Tianmingâs precise control, Tianxin True Flame displayed a certain level of deterrence.
Due to fears, the Red Lotus Karma Flame had to withdraw some of its flaming force to stabilize the unfavorable situation.
Through a brief confrontation, the Red Lotus Karma Flame retreated, eventually forming a gap of dozens of feet in length.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Tianming used the powerful force of Tianxin True Flame to stabilize this channel and gap.
At this moment, the Earth Spirit Rat personally witnessed this occurrence.
Perceiving the formation of the channel with minimal risk, the Earth Spirit Rat was instantly overjoyed.
Immediately, the nimble body of the Earth Spirit Rat rushed forward even faster than before.
Soon, the Earth Spirit Rat reached a position of hundreds of feet away, almost at the location of the first Red Flame Crystal.
In the next instant, the Earth Spirit Ratâs sharp claws unhesitatingly probed into the surface of the lava.
In the blink of an eye, the lava made contact with the sharp claws.
At this moment, a burst of sparks flew, accompanied by a crackling sound.
Then, another puff of blue smoke rose, covering a small area.
At this moment, within the green smoke, the Earth Spirit Ratâs claws successfully grabbed a chunk of Red Flame Crystal, eventually extracting it from the lava and storing it in its mouth.
Immediately, the Earth Spirit Rat continued along the channel Lin Tianming had created, moving step by step deeper.
Thereafter, with each distance the Earth Spirit Rat traveled, some Red Flame Crystals emerged from the lava.
Seizing this opportunity, the Earth Spirit Rat continuously scooped up a piece of Red Flame Crystal, placing it in its mouth.
