asn't even giving him the time of day, mocking him instead.“Howard, I swear, if you come out, I will cut you to pieces.”"Alright, since you're willing to stand guard for me out here, then get into pos...Ye Bufan was very clear that with his current strength, he absolutely couldn't subdue the purple fire before him.

But there is one exception, that being the Dragon King's Palace. As long as you return to the Dragon King's Palace, you become its ruler.

Don't say it's a mere flame, even a dragon could be subdued.

Although I have an idea, the difficulty is still very high. The problem is how to get this flame into the Dragon King's Palace.

Generally speaking, for a living being to be taken into the Dragon King's Palace, divine sense alone is insufficient; there must be some degree of contact.

For instance, back then, Ye Erlang carried her into the Dragon King's Palace only after he had hugged her tightly.

With the power of this flame, let alone hugging it, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have time to grab it before it was completely turned to ashes.

It seems relying on brute force won't work, so I need to think of other solutions.

Ye Bufan slowly, tentatively approached the purple flames. When he felt the intense heat, he knew he was close enough. Then, he began to transform his true qi into a shield and slowly moved it towards the flames.

According to his plan, it was like subduing a horse; as long as his true energy enveloped the flames, he could instantly bring them into the Dragon King's Hall.

Reality proved his idea was far too idealistic. The energy shield formed by true qi hadn't even gotten close to the purple flames before it was instantly incinerated by the scorching heat.

Thankfully, the action was gentle and didn't provoke Zihuo. The other party simply hovered there quietly, without any reaction.

It seems pure true qi won't work. I have to come up with another plan.

Since you are flame, then I shall use flame as well and see if we, of the same kind, can get along.

Thinking of this, he circulated his chaotic true energy and directly used the technique of the Flaming Palm. The erupting true energy instantly became scorching hot, and then began to approach the purple fire once again.

Then to his astonishment, he discovered that the moment his flames approached the purple fire, they were instantly absorbed completely, not having the slightest effect. Instead, they became part of the opponent's power.

"Well... this thing is a bit too overbearing, isn't it"

Ye Bufan gasped, he didn't expect the purple fire to be so powerful.

Since fire won't work, let's try something else. Water can subdue fire, so how about some glacial energy

Thinking this, he once again circulated his true qi and began to transform it into the movements of the Ice Palm.

After a moment, he deflated again. Water does conquer fire, that much is true. But the Frost Palm was indeed the bane of flames, but only if both parties had comparable strength.

With his current Nascent Soul cultivation, the icy true energy he manifested hadn't even gotten close before it was completely vaporized, unable to have any effect at all.

"What shall we do"

Looking at the purple flames before him, Ye Bufan felt somewhat helpless.

"By the way, you can try this trick!"

Thinking this, he moved his mind, and a halo cage about one meter in diameter appeared before him. Then, he enclosed the purple flames within it.

This is a technique from the Divine Court, drawing upon divine power. Compared to flames and ice, it has greater resistance to purple fire.

It lasted for about two seconds before being completely melted by the heat of the flames.

Although the time was still short, for Ye Bufan it was already enough. As long as he could persist for one second, he would be able to bring the other party into the Dragon King's Palace.

At this moment, he was completely excited. He took a deep breath, adjusted his body to its best state, and then released another Holy Light Cage.

The moment the purple flames engulfed the cage, he thought of it and instantly entered the Dragon King's Hall.

After arriving on Dragon King Island, he turned his head to look. He saw the purple flames floating not far from him.

"Haha, finally successful!"

Ye Bufan laughed loudly, looking up at the sky. Only when he was on his own territory did he have the ability to handle a fire, let alone one, ten, or even a hundred.

That clump of purple fire seemed to be angered by his smile, and a wave of intense heat suddenly erupted.

"Oh, you think you're so tough now that you're on my turf"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the energy that had just condensed into flames dissipated completely, without causing a ripple.

It would be no exaggeration to say that he was a god within the Dragon King's Palace, controlling everything within it. Even temperature and flame were under his command.

The purple flames flickered, as if sensing the fear, and turned its head to run away.

"Want to run, it's not that easy!"

Ye Bufan raised his hand and made a finger snap. Instantly, the power of heaven and earth imprisoned the purple flame in midair, unable to move at all.

"Well Are you convinced or not"

The clump of purple fire was obviously unwilling to submit. Its flames flickered and struggled desperately, but to no avail against the onslaught.

"I ask you again, will you submit to me"

Ye Bufan said, "If you are willing to be my different fire, I will take you to travel the world and explore all corners of it in the future. There will be countless benefits."

"If you don't want to, I will make you vanish into thin air right now."

By the end, his voice turned icy cold, a vast aura filling the entire Dragon King's Palace.

The purple flames twitched, as if sensing the fear.

Although it has not yet developed sentience, it possesses basic instincts. The person before it evokes a profound sense of threat.

As an extraterrestrial fire, it is a comprehension formed over ten thousand years in heaven and earth, naturally unwilling to dissipate just like that.

After a brief hesitation, the purple flames dimmed, their radiance fading into an instant quietude, as if surrendering completely.

"Now that you've surrendered, come to me."

Ye Bufan looked back and lifted the restriction, the purple fire once again regained its freedom.

He wasn't worried about the flames, whatever tricks they might try. After all, it was just an alien fire, unlike humans who were cunning and deceitful. Besides, within the Dragon King's Hall, he had the power to handle any crisis that came his way.

After regaining her freedom, Zi Huo seemed to have become much gentler than before, no longer carrying any hostility.

It fluttered beside Ye Bufan, like a happy little bird, circling a few times before the flames began to slowly fade. Finally, it turned into a purple cloud of fire mist.

Flames and mist enveloped his body, then began to slowly seep into his skin.

Ye Bufan knew that Zihuo had truly submitted to him. He slowly closed his eyes, circulated his true qi, and gradually drew the flames and mist into his body.

As the fog deepened, a wave of intense heat washed over them instantly.

Fortunately, his current physical body is powerful, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this intense heat.

Even though Zi Huo has surrendered and no longer possesses any hostile intent, this is still beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand.

Ye Bufan no longer dared to have any extraneous thoughts. He focused his mind and circulated the chaotic true qi, constantly absorbing and refining the fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the scorching heat on his body vanished instantly. When he opened his eyes again, the purple flames were gone.

Meanwhile, at the dantian of the nascent soul, a tiny purple flame the size of a grain of rice appeared. Although it seemed incredibly small, it contained unparalleled power.

"Finally, I did it!"

Ye Bufan's heart surged with joy, and at the same time, an incredibly powerful feeling rose from his depths.

He could feel it, the flame's fusion had indirectly tempered his flesh as it merged, causing his Fire Tempering Sutra to advance further. It was just a little bit away from reaching the peak of completion.

If we talk about his current strength, he is comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul stage expert.

It seemed like he had made a huge profit this time. Overjoyed, he extended his right palm, and a faint violet flame appeared in the palm of his hand.others have Two cultivators in the mid-stage of tribulation aren't even worth noticing by my Yin Bamboo Island."Zhang Yujing said faintly, "You don't need to worry about my confidence. Anyway, no one...
