"Failure?"
According to the《Flames of Departure: Profound Art》, in order to absorb the Heavenly Fire and cultivate a Golden Core, one prerequisite is that the incoming Heavenly Fire must be stronger than the previous one.
But what exactly defines 'stronger' and by how much?
Is it enough if both are of an eighth-grade but the latter is only slightly stronger? Do they still meet the requirement?
In terms of flame power, the Six Union Pure Extinguishing Fire is stronger than The Soul-Suppressing Demon Flame; however, the latter can burn the enemy's soul and even heal the user's soul injuries, abilities the Six Union Pure Extinguishing Fire does not possess.
So should we consider the former stronger than the latter or vice versa?
Michael didn’t know the answer.
He suspected that even his ancient ancestors would not have a concrete answer.
In such a situation, one could only risk trying.
It appears that this attempt has ended in failure.
