"Gulp."

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but swallow.

Fortunately, he reacted swiftly earlier and quickly activated the Great Formation.

Otherwise, the four flame bursts that had just erupted from the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace might have instantly blasted him into severe injury.

Given his current strength, he still couldn’t handle even the second seal.

The flames erupting from the release of this fourth seal were absolutely not something he could withstand.

"Fortunately, Ice Venerable’s Ice Profound Sealing Formation is strong enough," Xiao Yi chuckled to himself.

Then, his senses released, entering the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.

Sure enough, the flame space inside the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace had expanded once more.

By calculation, compared to the space when the first seal was released, it had now quadrupled in size.

Simultaneously, an unknown dark beast hand appeared within the flame space.

"Come out," Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice.

Whoosh... a streak of crimson light shot out.

This time, the light didn’t gather in Xiao Yi’s hand but rather on his left foot.

Xiao Yi glanced, and the light was encircling his knee area.

Another uncomfortable sensation of searing heat, his left foot had become no different from a beast’s foot.

Previously during his battle with the Vajra White Ape, his clothes had been torn to shreds, allowing him to see his feet’s condition at a glance.

"So it’s a beast leg," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

In his previous perception, he thought it was another beast hand, but it turned out to be a beast leg.

"Hmm? No, that’s not right." Xiao Yi suddenly realized.

From the time the seals within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace were released, it was first the left hand, then the right hand, and now the left foot.

Xiao Yi’s face showed surprise. Following this pattern, if the fifth seal were released, wouldn’t a right foot appear?

Could it be...

A chilling thought flashed in Xiao Yi’s mind.

"Could it be that within these eight seals lies the complete corpse of a powerful demon beast?"

"First the left hand, then the right hand, now the left foot, and afterward the right foot, torso, head..."

If this were truly the case, what kind of formidable stature did this unknown powerful demon beast possess in life that it required dismemberment and sealing separately within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace?

After all, the flame impact from the current fourth seal alone already held such power.

What kind of power would the subsequent seals possess?

Xiao Yi suddenly recalled Senior Swordswoman’s words that within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, there were eight Dragon Flame Breaths, being the most powerful fire attribute treasure.

Perhaps Senior Swordswoman’s words were true.

Within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, there indeed were eight Dragon Flame Breaths.

However, the seals of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace weren’t intended to store these eight Dragon Flames.

They were meant to store this unknown demon beast’s corpse.

The existence of the eight Dragon Flame Breaths served as auxiliary seals, suppressing these corpses.

As far as Xiao Yi knew, in some extremely powerful ancient formations, many relied on formidable flames to enhance the formation or seal’s potency.

Using his own formations as an example, sometimes he would employ powerful artifacts like the Cold Flame Sword to enhance the suppression’s potency.

"Is this demon beast’s remains still needing dismemberment and suppression even after death?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow tightly.

He was always cautious, and naturally, he needed to be extra cautious about such matters.

Xiao Yi’s eyes squinted, and after a while, he commanded in a low voice, "Disperse."

Instantly, his hands and left foot returned to normal.

The two beast hands and one beast foot instantly returned to the flame space within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.

"Come out," Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice.

The two beast hands and one beast foot reappeared, covering his body once more.

"Disperse."

"Come out."

Xiao Yi repeatedly commanded in a low voice, trying several times.

Clearly, these two beast hands and beast foot were under the absolute control of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.

And through the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, these demon beast’s remains could cover his body for use.

These beast hands and feet were actual demon beast remains.

Yet because of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, they metamorphosed into a crimson light and then covered him.

As long as he had absolute control of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, he could absolutely control these remains.

Of course, the secrets of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace were still unknown to Xiao Yi.

"If..." Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, lost in thought. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

While pondering, he glanced at the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace floating in front of him.

At this moment, the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace continued to receive a steady inflow of Golden Light Power.

His thoughts suddenly stopped.

Everything would depend on how many seals had been broken by the Golden Light Power within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace.

While the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace was still absorbing Golden Light Power and had some time before it would be filled, Xiao Yi tried once again to test the power of the two beast hands and beast foot.

Crack, crack, crack...

Xiao Yi clenched his fist, the seemingly infinite strength contained within his arm and fist made his heart tremble.

The specks of red light embedded in the scale armor emitted an immensely scorching aura.

Boom...

Xiao Yi concentrated in his hand, and a soaring flame appeared in an instant.

"How strong," Xiao Yi’s expression changed.

What he gathered now was merely ordinary flame.

Boom... another flame coalesced, this time a purple hue.

The current gathering was the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.

Almost the moment the Purple Flame gathered, it instantly formed a sea of flames.

The sea of flames floated in mid-air.

Xiao Yi clenched his fist, clearly sensing the absolute control contained within.

This vast sea of flames in his hand became as easy as guiding arms and fingers, effortlessly manipulated without pressure.

One must know that such a large Purple Flame Sea, with its profound strength, was definitely not something easily controlled.

Yet now, under these beast claws, it was as light as air.

"What terrifying Fire Control Ability," Xiao Yi gasped.

This unknown demon beast in life must have been a terrifying Fire Control Demon Beast.

"Ha!" Xiao Yi shouted lowly, throwing a punch.

The purple flame sea in mid-air had already vanished.

Xiao Yi’s punch through the air was thunderous.

In the punch, the explosive force of the flame was contained.

Ahead, the sea of flames outside the Great Formation was instantly dispersed.

"Such a strong explosive power," Xiao Yi was once again amazed.

The next second, he stomped his foot, instantly leaping up.

The power to vault him came precisely from his left foot, currently enveloped by beast scale armor.

On the left foot, the specks of red light within the dark scale armor instantly erupted.

A startling explosive force within the foot generated a booming sound.

In almost just a breath, Xiao Yi transformed into a fiery red stream of light, soaring into the sky, hovering above the clouds.

Whoosh... Xiao Yi stomped the air fiercely.

With a flicker of movement, his foot burst into action, spanning thousands of meters.

"So fast," Xiao Yi’s expression grew increasingly amazed.

Whoosh...

Xiao Yi stomped once more, descending from great heights, securely landing back within the Great Formation.

At this moment, Xiao Yi’s face was filled with joy.

This pair of beast hands and feet were as strong as Gold Stone, capable of being used as Protective Armor or weapons.

Moreover, they clearly possessed extremely strong Fire Control Ability within them.

They could entirely be used as valuable Fire Control Treasures.

Just from his earlier attempts, the fire control capability and enhancement seemed far beyond the mid-grade Holy Artifact Star Illusion Gloves.
