The Purple Flame Demon Fire on the Bone Mountain can burn Lu Yu's soul, so he doesn't dare to touch these flames lightly.

However, he was already prepared. He took out a Fire Spirit Pearl from his backpack. The Fire Spirit Pearl was a dark purple, storing a vast amount of Purple Flame Demon Fire, originally intended as his trump card against the God of Light's fragment of consciousness.

He had purchased a Spiritual Treasure from the marketplace specifically to protect the soul. If the God of Light's fragment exceeded his own limits, Lu Yu would unleash the stored Purple Flame Demon Fire to scorch the fragment of consciousness.

In Lu Yu's calculations, the Purple Flame Demon Fire stored in the Fire Spirit Pearl could utterly incinerate the soul of the ancestor of the Liang family.

Lu Yu relied on the protective Spiritual Treasure and his own powerful soul to withstand the eruption of this force.

If even this couldn't deal with the God of Light's fragment, Lu Yu would have to admit defeat. After all, he estimated that the power the God of Light could manifest through the Holy Light rune would not exceed the utmost of the Qi Manipulation Realm.

The eventual power of the God of Light's descent was at the sixth level of the Qi Manipulation Realm, yet it nearly caused Lu Yu's downfall.

Lu Yu used the Shocking God Stab to attack the fragment dozens of times, barely managing to extinguish it, which instead infuriated the God of Light, causing a descent of its avatar.

Zhao Tianjue then destroyed that avatar with a single move.

Losing an avatar meant nothing to the God of Light's true form.

It had long surpassed the Divided Spirit Realm, unlike which, losing an avatar would diminish one's own strength.

The Purple Flame Demon Fire capable of annihilating a seventh-level Martial Cultivator's soul had not yet reached the limit of the Fire Spirit Pearl, and Lu Yu did not intend to release any of the Purple Flame Demon Fire from within.

After all, it was painstakingly accumulated, costing him a lot of time and Spiritual Power.

The Fire Spirit Pearl, under Lu Yu's urging, absorbed a small amount of Purple Flame Demon Fire from Bone Mountain, then returned to expel it, allowing Lu Yu to absorb a minuscule amount of it and train in Ice and Fire Seventh Heaven.

Using Purple Flame Demon Fire for Body Refinement remained as painful as ever.

After experiencing the soul-burning pain, the improvement in strength brought Lu Yu a sense of satisfaction, seemingly alleviating the pain significantly.

[Absorbed a small amount of Purple Flame Demon Fire, Training Progress +2%, Qi Blood +20, Spiritual Power +60]

Using the Demon Fire from Bone Mountain for Body Refinement proved unexpectedly effective, nearly doubling the effect compared to devouring the Demon Fire inside the Purple Flame Demon Saber. Lu Yu regretted not discovering this place sooner, as it could have enhanced his strength even more.

However, it was still advantageous to find it now.

Lu Yu controlled the Fire Spirit Pearl with Spiritual Power, letting it fly to Bone Mountain to collect the Demon Fire, and then releasing it in small quantities for Body Refinement.

But Lu Yu quickly realized that his Fire Spirit Body's training progress had reached its limit at 50%, unable to increase further without concurrently training the Ice Spirit Body.

Although the training progress could not increase, the benefits of flame refinement remained, albeit with smaller enhancements to Lu Yu's Qi Blood and Spiritual Power limits each time.

While training at the outskirts of Bone Mountain, Lu Yu felt the fire seed within himself undergoing changes, seemingly increasing in strength and gradually aligning with the primal Demon Fire of Bone Mountain.

Thus, Lu Yu stayed, secluded in cultivation by the bone mountain side.

For three consecutive days, Lu Yu did not log off, continuously staying by the Bone Mountain, devouring Purple Flame Demon Fire for training.

Midway through, he received a message from Fu Mingcheng, saying some of the equipment he provided had been sold, asking where Lu Yu was and how to transfer him the money.

Due to the urgent real-world situation, the interlinking JianghuNet was also affected, with many players not active in the game, severely impacting its information network.

Most players had shifted to the real world battles, unless the real-world situation stabilized, this would likely continue for a long time.

This was also why Fu Mingcheng took so long to contact Lu Yu, as players weren't online, and goods weren't selling well, leading JianghuNet to do business with local Martial Cultivators lately.

Even when players logged on, they sought treasures and elixirs that could boost their strength directly, reducing demand for Spiritual Weapons and Treasures.

Not only Fu Mingcheng, but Lin Feng had also messaged him. When Lu Yu received it, he thought Lin Feng might request him to quit the game and undertake the task in Blue Ocean City, but Lin Feng actually came seeking training resources.

Lu Yu had already given Lin Feng 300 sets of life-saving Spiritual Treasures in batches, and had traded materials with him a few times afterward.

Now that Lin Feng returned to ask Lu Yu for cultivation resources, it seemed quite normal.

Lin Feng, besides Lu Yu, had spent a significant amount of military merit points to exchange for cultivation resources, striving to break through several Qi Sea Realm levels quickly, and they ensured more than 12 hours per day in the game.

During their 12-hour sessions, they either engaged in monster battles or traveled to fight them.

In a way, the high ranks of Hua Country were also somewhat unscrupulous.

This demon invasion of reality was a major reshuffling of player factions, and the leadership sought to seize this chance to establish their standing among the player community.

After receiving Lin Feng's message, Lu Yu left the fourth layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave with his Fire Spirit Pearl full of Purple Flame Demon Fire, not seeing any sign of Zhou Tong when leaving.
