"So even a third-tier Strange Fire can't fully subdue it?" looked at the system prompt, mildly surprised.

Third-tier Strange Fires were extraordinarily rare in the Divine Realm. To his knowledge, only one had ever appeared in the entire Star Moon Kingdom, and when it did, every major guild in the kingdom scrambled to seize it.

Yet now, after using a third-tier Strange Fire to fuse with his , he still couldn't fully control the . That only proved the was far more powerful than he had imagined.

It even made suspect that the might actually be a fourth-tier Strange Fire!

Fourth-tier Strange Fires were the stuff of legend in the Divine Realm. Even a fourth-tier Class expert would be in serious trouble if they encountered one. On top of that, the possessed the unique property of being able to burn souls, reducing them to nothing. For players and monsters alike, that was an absolutely terrifying prospect.

Players most of all — their souls were the very foundation of existence in the Divine Realm. The so-called immortality that NPCs saw in them was entirely due to the Immortal Soul. If that Immortal Soul were truly destroyed, the player would be finished for good.

But completely annihilating a player's Immortal Soul was extremely difficult. In most cases, what the could do was wound the Immortal Soul.

Even so, that alone was enough to prevent a player from logging into the Divine Realm for a short period of time.

For any top-tier player, that was nothing short of a nightmare. In the Divine Realm, it was like rowing against the current — if you didn't advance, you fell behind. Countless talented people populated that world. A few days without logging in could mean falling a noticeable distance behind. Ten or more days away, and being left behind by the frontline players wouldn't be surprising at all.

"Not bad. You managed to fuse the Thunder Purple Fire this quickly. That means your control over the has improved enough to further weaken the Soul Chain's corrosion — tracking down that mysterious person should be easier now." Xia Lian looked at and smiled. "But you still need to be careful. Even though you've fused a third-tier Strange Fire, you now only have 108 days. The Divine Realm is vast, and while that may seem like a long time, it really isn't. You'd best use this period to seek out as many third-tier Strange Fires as you can. That way, your mastery over the will grow even stronger."

"Only 108 days?" couldn't help but feel speechless at the news.

He had already absorbed a third-tier Strange Fire. He'd expected the timer to extend by at least a year or two, but the system had only granted him this much.

Just as Xia Lian had said, tracking down that mysterious Tier 5 NPC would not be easy. There were no leads whatsoever — the only way to pursue the trail was through the Soul Chain. And on top of that, it was a Legendary-grade quest. Such quests were never the kind of thing that could be accomplished in a short time.

After a long silence, steadied his emotions.

At the very least, absorbing the Thunder Purple Fire had bought him some extra time. He could use it to take care of his own affairs.

He then attempted to channel the power of the .

Instantly, his black eyes were completely overtaken by silver-white flames. The aura radiating from his entire body shifted dramatically — where before he had projected an air of relaxed ease, he now gave off the feeling of an icy hell, steeped in deathly stillness and bone-chilling cold.

"Remarkable! Just a rough mastery of the already grants this much power?" looked around. Everything before his eyes had changed.

He could not only see the Soul Chain now, but also the fluctuations of the soul. If he focused carefully, he could even sense that the flow of time around him had slowed slightly.

didn't know what to say.

When the third-tier Strange Fire, Thunder Purple Fire, had been activated, it could boost a player's combat power considerably. But compared to the now, the difference was more than a single leap apart.

The soul fluctuations alone let him gauge an opponent's strength — the more powerful a creature, the more formidable its soul. Not even a black cloak could conceal that. Moreover, out in the wild, those soul fluctuations had nowhere to hide. No matter how well a player tried to conceal themselves, could see them as clearly as day…

And that was before even mentioning the change in the flow of time — which made the soul fluctuations seem almost trivial by comparison.
