Ye Li's ability to control fire is actually much higher than that of ordinary people. After all, he is a weaponsmith and often deals with fire. He has a very deep understanding of the properties of fire.
"Your mother agreed to let you come here to take the test. I think your life may not be in danger here."
Ye Li looked at the boundless world of fire in front of him and said to Li Rushan.
Li Rushan nodded and said, "I guess so. My mother has always been very kind to me. If we were to be burned to death here, she would definitely not let me take the risk."
Knowing this, Ye Li felt more relieved.
He was not worried that he himself could not withstand the burning of the flames, but that Li Rushan could not resist the burning of the flames.
After all, the purpose of his coming here to accept the test of heavenly fire was to help Li Rushan. It would be meaningless if he alone could pass it.
"There's no end in sight here. We're standing like an island in the sea. We don't know where to go."
Li Rushan looked around and muttered.
Ye Li looked around and found that the scenery around him was indeed exactly the same, with almost no difference.
The black rock area where they stood was like a small island, floating in the center of the magma world.
“Or we can just choose a direction at random. I guess it will be the same no matter which direction we go. After all, this is a place of testing, and the implication of trial is obvious.
Resisting the burning of flames should be one of the tests."
Ye Li said.
After Li Rushan nodded and agreed with Ye Li's opinion, the two of them randomly chose a direction, wrapped their legs with flames, and stepped into the magma.
Ye Li directly activated the secret fire-casting technique, and a layer of flame appeared around his body, enveloping him completely.
Relying on his familiarity with the power of fire, Ye Li managed to merge his own flame with the magma flame. The loss of his spiritual energy in the magma became very slow, basically not much different from his recovery speed.
But it was not so easy for Li Rushan. The fusion of his flame and the magma flame was less than five percent, and the consumption of spiritual energy was much greater than Ye Li's.
Although there is no problem in the short term, as time goes on, he will definitely be short of spiritual energy.
"It seems that I have really neglected my training over the years. The power of wind and fire is the attribute I have obtained since I became a spiritual warrior. Now my control over the power of fire is still at an extremely low level."
Li Rushan shook his head and sighed.
In order to compete with Li Ruhai for the throne over the years, he has indeed rarely focused on cultivation.
Although he had various favorable resources to support his cultivation and his realm growth was not slow, his understanding of the essence of power was still too low.
Ye Li glanced at him and said, "I understood a truth many years ago. The struggle for power and status is for the sake of cultivation itself. Only strong strength is what a cultivator should pursue.
If you give up practicing and pursue other things, they will all be illusory.
If His Majesty the Emperor had the same level of cultivation as Tiankui Fu Sheng, why would he need Tiankui Fu Sheng to protect him
It would not be possible that he would be assassinated by Li Ruhai as soon as Tiankui Fu Sheng left.
What's more, if he had focused on cultivation, he would not have gone to such lengths to stay on the throne for a few more years, and ended up like this.
Having power is indeed addictive, and the benefits of power are numerous, but being addicted to it is a deadly poison to one’s practice.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Rushan seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he sighed softly, looked at Ye Li with admiration, and said, "No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast now. In addition to the fact that you are the chosen one, it is also because of your concentration.
My third brother is also such a person. He is so devoted to cultivation that he has no time to care about the struggle for power. Now, he is the one who has obtained it the easiest and is the strongest.
"After so many years of palace life, I have been on the wrong path and have neglected my cultivation too much!"
Ye Li nodded and suddenly smiled: "It's good that you understand, but the current environment is not the time for us to discuss these things. If you stand on this fire for too long, the consumption of spiritual energy will become greater and greater."
He could already feel that the power of the flames under his feet was slowly increasing. Although the speed of increase was not fast, it was indeed getting stronger.
After listening to this, Li Rushan quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to speed up and move forward with Ye Li.
The flames around them became hotter as the two continued to move forward, and there were faint clusters of fire energy condensing in the flames.
Ye Li, who sensed this change, said, "Brother Rushan, be careful and pay attention to possible attacks from the magma at any time."
Hearing Ye Li's greeting, Li Rushan immediately showed a wary look, and the pace of both of them slowed down a little.
After they had been walking for a while, a sudden gust of wind blew up without warning. From the magma on their left, more than a dozen fireballs flew up and turned into huge fireballs in the wind, which slammed towards the two of them.
Ye Li quickly dodged and stood in front of Li Rushan. The power of fire surged all over his body, and his ability to control fire was instantly exerted to the extreme, integrating himself into the surrounding flames.
The fireball hit Ye Li's body, just like throwing a water ball into the water. Although there were some ripples and splashes, the two merged together without any barriers.
This kind of defense prevented Ye Li from suffering any harm, but the consumption of his spiritual energy increased a lot.
Of course, this defense method can only be used here. After all, the flames here are more like natural fires, rather than the flames produced by highly condensed spiritual energy.
If the flame is a highly concentrated flame from a talisman master, it would be extremely difficult to fuse it with one's own flame.
It is basically not feasible to use fire to defend against fire attacks. When the two collide, they will devour and explode each other.
Ye Li blocked most of the fireballs in front of Li Rushan, and only two or three fell behind him and splashed onto Li Rushan.
Although Li Rushan's strength was not as good as his, he was a spiritual warrior in the Virtual God Stage after all. He was still able to resist the splashing flames and was not injured by them. However, the consumption of spiritual energy increased a bit.
"Be careful, we may have entered a new test area. The surrounding flames will become very unstable. Once the wind spirit energy is stimulated, it will attack us."
Ye Li said this with a serious look on his face.
Because he had already felt that the number of fire-type spiritual energy balls in the magma ahead was still increasing.
