Quan Yi, enduring the pain,Straining extended his intact Martial Soul towards the detonated Gauntlets.
"Absorb!"
Under the pull of the Gauntlets, shattered steel fragments transformed into energy, surging into Quan Yi's body.
Dark Gold Color metallic energy was entirely poured by Quan Yi into the golden sphere within the raging flames.
The gradually diminishing golden sphere, as if bathed in sweet dew, once again bloomed with a brilliant metallic luster.
Since the Blazing Sun Gauntlets possessed Fire Immunity, Quan Yi could only completely shatter the Gauntlets through self-detonation.
Moreover, aided by the powerful water pressure, the Martial Soul, shattered into metallic energy, wasStranded before Quan Yi's eyes.
The evolutionary process was forcibly continued by Quan Yi.
This time, the sacrifice Quan Yi made was considerable.
The importance of the Martial Soul to a Soul Master need not be elaborated upon.
Damage to the Martial Soul could result in cultivation impairment at best, and death at worst.
Fortunately, Quan Yi's Gauntlets Martial Soul had a certain advantage in terms of quantity in this situation.
With one Gauntlet shattered, one remained.
Quan Yi continued to refine the metallic energy within it using the remaining Gauntlet.
With the metallic energy of an entire Gauntlet, the thumb-sized golden sphere instantly expanded several times in volume.
Its color also changed from gold to Dark Gold Color.
This transformation added a steady, heavy aura to the energy.
However, the Dark Gold energy, having lost its Fire Immunity attribute, performed even worse than the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum under the scorching of the Ultimate Fire.
The rate of volume reduction was twice as fast as the former.
From this, it could be seen that the purity of the metal element in Quan Yi's Martial Soul was weaker than that of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
In fact, this was quite normal. Quan Yi's Gauntlets Martial Soul possessed an enviable Fire Immunity attribute.
While this allowed the Gauntlets to be immune to the invasion of flames, it also deprived them of the opportunity to refine themselves.
Seeing this, Quan Yi was even more grateful that he had discovered his shortcomings at this stage.
Half an hour passed.
The Dark Gold sphere, which had expanded several times, shrank back to the size of a thumb.
Although its volume had decreased, the aura it emitted became increasingly terrifying.
The condensed Dark Gold sphere gathered a terrifying Fire Element, and the terrifying density naturally brought a heavy aura.
Above this, the occasional sharp aura leaking from the surface of the sphere presented another characteristic of the metal element.
At this point, all of Quan Yi's own Dark Gold energy had reached the level of supreme quality.
However, what made Quan Yi feel despair was that the final step was like a natural chasm, not so easily crossed even if Quan Yi reached this level.
The reason why Quan Yi and Huo Wu were able to evolve into Ultimate Fire so easily was largely because the Yang Spring provided them with an almost infinite supply of high-level Fire Element energy.
However, the metallic energy provided by the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Blazing Sun Gauntlets was low-level energy.
The difficulty of crossing from a low level to a higher level was even more arduous.
The shrinking Dark Gold sphere began to shrink further, and the aura it emitted became even stronger.
However, on the other hand, Quan Yi could see that the supreme quality metal element was also gradually dying out in the burning of the Ultimate Fire.
Quan Yi knew that, at this rate, the remaining supreme quality metal element would not be enough to support complete evolution.
Quan Yi's eyes shone, and after a moment of slight contemplation, he secretly made a decision.
He focused his attention on the changes in his body.
After half an hour of changes, the blood in Quan Yi's body gradually calmed down, and the six Hidden Meridians in his body were completely opened.
The moment all eight Hidden Meridians were activated simultaneously, Quan Yi's body instantly transformed into an energy-absorbing black hole, erupting with terrifying suction.
Quan Yi's cultivation, which had declined due to the damaged Martial Soul, was also rapidly recovering. In fact, at this moment, Quan Yi could feel that his damaged Martial Soul, in the 'Heavenly Connection' state, faintly showed signs of recovery.
At the same time, as Qi circulated through his limbs, Quan Yi completed the full coverage of Dragon Scales.
At this moment, his state was like a Beast Soul Master with a Scarlet Dragon Martial Soul undergoing Beast Soul Transformation.
Having completed the full coverage, the amplification effect of Quan Yi's Dragon Transformation state also changed.
Previously, the Dragon Transformation effect was to increase strength and flame power by fifty percent.
But now, this amplification rate has increased to one hundred percent.
Feeling the surging power within his body, Quan Yi's face showed no joy.
With the help of the Dragon Transformation power, Quan Yi easily raised his arm and touched the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest.
With a flash of White Light, Quan Yi took out the helmet of the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor from his storage space.
Quan Yi didn't waste any time and directly put on the helmet in the water.
The ferocious Scarlet Dragon helmet on Quan Yi's body made him look like a lava demon from the depths of hell.
The helmet was on his head, and through the two tiny holes on his cheeks, one could see the cold Dragon Eyes inside.
This wasn't the end. Quan Yi used Soul Power to activate the Soul Guidance Runes engraved in the helmet.
The originally open holes began to slowly close. When all the gaps in the helmet were completely closed,
the ubiquitous terrifying water pressure suddenly dissipated, the helmet blocking all of this pressure.
This was only because Quan Yi had reforged the armor; otherwise, it might not have been able to withstand the water pressure here.
Once the holes were completely closed, Quan Yi input Soul Power and activated the Soul Guidance Runes engraved inside the armor.
A spatial fluctuation flashed, and countless bubbles suddenly erupted inside Quan Yi's helmet.
At the same time, the Spring Water remaining in the helmet was expelled and flowed into the internal spare water storage space, and then discharged outward from there.
Once the water flow in his body completely dissipated, Quan Yi took a deep breath of air.
This was the result of Quan Yi's week of effort.
The Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor achieved the conditions for underwater swimming through Soul Guidance effects.
Immediately afterward, Quan Yi directly removed the other Blazing Sun Gauntlets from his hand.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he detonated the last Gauntlets.
"Pfft!"
Quan Yi, whose Martial Soul was completely damaged, spat out a large mouthful of blood this time.
The Mental Power and Soul Power in Quan Yi's body were rapidly draining away.
The vast sea of consciousness was also decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, at this time, the energy of the Scarlet Dragon Eye was firmly guarding Quan Yi's sea of consciousness, stopping the rate of Mental Power loss.
The degree of pain Quan Yi was enduring at this time was stronger than any previous extreme training.
However, Quan Yi still had no time to pay attention to himself.
His gaze resolutely stared at the scene outside the helmet.
Through the sealed helmet, Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Eyes saw the Dark Gold Color sphere that had fallen into the Spring Water due to the damaged Martial Soul.
Quan Yi endured the pain of the Martial Soul shattering, and with his remaining Mental Power, he urged the energy absorption of the Scarlet Dragon Horns, driving the surrounding Fire Element energy, and gathering the scattered metallic energy.
In the high-pressure, high-temperature environment, this metallic energy was being purified at an extremely fast rate.
With that Dark Gold Color sphere as the center, the surrounding metallic energy slowly gathered.
The thumb-sized sphere expanded again, and then contracted again.
Quan Yi focused on the changes in these energies, enduring with his will.
Half an hour later, the Dark Gold Color energy returned to thumb-size again, but this time, it seemed to be moved by Quan Yi's will.
It completely bloomed with an Ultimate aura sufficient to contend with the Ultimate Fire.
