**
Clearly, this was the result of his cultivation technique advancing in grade.
During this process, a portion of the energy from the Heavenly Flame suddenly surged into Lin Feng's Dou Crystal.
As the energy continuously flowed in, one of the spikes on the sea-urchin-like Dou Crystal slowly began to retract.
Under Lin Feng's focused observation, before long, that spike completely withdrew into the main body of the Dou Crystal.
Following the completion of the first spike's retraction, another one began to mirror its actions.
Soon, it too fully merged with the Dou Crystal.
Before devouring the Heavenly Flame, there had been seven spikes—now only five remained.
However, his aura had grown significantly stronger compared to before.
As time passed, the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had already expended its energy, slowly began to drift.
It headed toward the center of Lin Feng's lower abdomen, where a faint gray light dot resided.
Arriving beside the Acceptance Soul, the Heavenly Flame began circling around it repeatedly, clearly hesitant to enter.
It seemed that, due to the instincts of such a rare natural treasure, it had sensed a dangerous presence from the gray stone, causing its hesitation.
But Lin Feng wasn't about to let it have its way.
Seeing the Heavenly Flame reluctant to enter the Acceptance Soul, he seized the moment, quickly mobilizing the beast flame within his body and fiercely pushed it forward.
The spiraling Green Lotus Core Flame was abruptly shoved—completely bewildered—into the tiny gray stone.
The instant it made contact, a terrifying suction force erupted from within the gray Acceptance Soul.
The disoriented flame, unable to escape in time, was swallowed with a whoosh.
With the final step of devouring the Heavenly Flame completed, the Green Lotus Core Flame within Lin Feng's body finally fell into complete silence.
Now that the Heavenly Flame had been successfully subdued, the green energy barrier surrounding Lin Feng began to ripple more and more violently.
Eventually, thin cracks appeared on the once-smooth surface of the spherical barrier.
Those cracks slowly spread, weaving across the entire surface.
At a glance, it now looked like a green egg riddled with fractures.
"Crack~"
When the first shard fell away, the green energy shield trembled violently.
Then, as if a switch had been flipped, fractured shards began falling one after another.
The rhythmic sound of fragments striking the tiled floor echoed through the alchemy room.
"Bang~"
With the final shard's crisp impact, a faint green glow slowly rose from where the barrier had been.
A Green Colored Lotus Platform hovered silently in midair.
Atop the green lotus, a youth with a bare torso sat cross-legged.
His eyes, closed for a full day and night, twitched slightly. A moment later, they slowly opened.
Within those pitch-black pupils, a faint green flame swirled silently.
Moments later, the green flames suddenly surged upward, engulfing his entire eyes.
In that instant, his originally dark pupils turned completely green.
At first glance, it gave off a strangely demonic vibe.
However, the green flame in his eyes didn't last long before it began to gradually fade.
Once it fully disappeared, his pupils returned to their original pitch-black hue.
But now, they seemed to shine much more brightly than before.
Clearly, after being tempered by the Green Lotus Core Flame, Lin Feng's eyes had received a great benefit.
He gently twisted his neck and lazily stretched.
Instantly, a crisp series of crackling sounds rang out from the movement of his joints, flowing smoothly like a symphony of popping bones.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Lin Feng looked down at himself.
He noticed that the set of cyan robes he had been wearing earlier had completely vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, he hurriedly retrieved another set of clothes and quickly put them on.
Then, his consciousness once again sank into his body, arriving at his lower abdomen.
There, he discovered that the sea urchin-shaped Dou Crystal had now turned a deep cyan color.
The number of spikes on it had also decreased to five.
This indicated that he had now reached the level of a Five-Star Dou Ling.
Moreover, the amount of Dou Qi it could store had expanded several times over, thanks to the improvement in his cultivation technique.
At the same time, the deep cyan Dou Qi flowing within it was clearly of a far higher quality than the white Dou Qi he had possessed before.
Due to having devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame, the pale cyan Dou Qi now faintly carried traces of green flame.
With these flames adhering to it, the combat power of this cyan Dou Qi was bound to become terrifying.
After inspecting the Dou Crystal, Lin Feng's consciousness moved forward once more.
In the next instant, a meridian diagram far more complex than before appeared before him.
"Not bad. This Green Lotus Core Flame not only helped me break through two stars and reach Five-Star Dou Ling, but even Flame Mantra has advanced to High-Grade Black Class."
He let out a light chuckle as he began circulating his cultivation method through a few cycles.
The surrounding free-floating Dou Qi in the heavens and earth was instantly absorbed into his body, refined by Flame Mantra, and entered his Dou Crystal.
"Although the current Flame Mantra still can't compare to the Earth Class Solar Flame Transformation Art, it's already far stronger than the High-Grade Black Class cultivation technique I previously cultivated from Mo Cheng."
After running a few full cycles, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, a joyful expression on his face.
As he spoke, Lin Feng released Dou Qi from within his body.
The pale cyan Dou Qi was laced with tiny green flames.
Though these flames appeared unimpressive, they significantly amplified the power of his Dou Qi!
Retracting the Dou Qi, Lin Feng once again focused on the Fallen Heart Flame.
Strictly speaking, the true owner of the Fallen Heart Flame was Tian Huo Zun Zhe—he was only borrowing it temporarily.
It was just like how, in the original story, Yao Chen had stored the Bone Chilling Flame's core flame within Xiao Yan after being captured.
Therefore, the two Heavenly Flames didn't reject each other.
Instead, they clearly occupied separate portions of Lin Feng's body, like waters from two wells that did not interfere with one another.
"Hehe… now that I've gathered both Heavenly Flame and Beast Flame, it's about time I try fusing them to create that Angry Buddha Lotus Flame."
As the devouring of the Heavenly Flame concluded, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of that heaven-defying Dou Technique from the original work.
After all, if he could master the method to release such a devastating flame lotus—combined with the speed advantage from Three Thousand Lightning Movement—
Even low-tier Dou Wangs would likely fall on the spot if they weren't careful.
While his thoughts wandered, Lin Feng's hands never stopped moving. He stored the cyan lotus platform into his storage ring, then turned and walked out of the alchemy room.
However, as he recalled the name Xiao Yan had given this Dou Technique in the original story, he frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.
As he walked, he muttered softly to himself, "Hmm… 'Angry Buddha Lotus Flame' doesn't quite sound right. This technique is only possible because of Flame Mantra's unique ability to fuse Heavenly Flames, and that technique was left behind by the Tuo She Ancient God… I'll call it World-Burning Emperor Lotus."
