“Chaotic fire seed, the source of all flames, the sovereign of all fires! This… how is this possible?!
This kind of origin fire seed only exists in legends from the dawn of creation, when heaven and earth were split apart! Even Senior Brother Li Jin back then, after facing death nine times, fused several types of innate divine flames and barely managed to simulate a trace of ‘chaotic fire intent’. It was far from a true fire seed!
How could he, a Human Immortal realm cultivator with a bone age of less than a hundred years, nurture a complete chaotic fire seed within his body, one that can even actively absorb external chaotic origin fire?!”
At this moment, all the doubts, suspicions, and reluctance in Ling Yan’s heart were shattered by the cognition-defying scene before him.
He no longer harboured the slightest doubt about the truth of Chen Ping’s earlier words.
To bear the chaotic fire seed, to walk freely through the ultimate trial set by the Li Fire Demon Lord, and to absorb and refine vast amounts of chaotic origin fire that even the Li Fire Demon Lord himself had to treat with caution.
This person’s background and origins had already exceeded the limits of what he could imagine.
Perhaps he truly shared some inconceivable connection with his master.
If Ling Yan knew that the supreme fire origin within Chen Ping had first come from the Flame Demon, he might have had quite different thoughts.
Later, Chen Ping absorbed and refined various flames. By now, his supreme fire origin had long surpassed what ordinary people could reach.
Chen Ping remained completely unaware of the storm raging in Ling Yan’s heart. At this moment, he was immersed in an unprecedented profound realm.
Vast amounts of flame origin power, refined to the extreme and of absurdly high grade, surged into his body like a breached flood.
These powers were not chaotic. Every strand carried a unique fragment of flame laws: the domineering might to incinerate the heavens, the purification of the sun, the destruction of thunder, the solidification of ice, the devouring of nothingness.
After being absorbed by the chaotic fire source aura, they did not conflict.
Instead, under the command of the chaotic vortex, they decomposed, fused, and sublimated in perfect order. Ultimately, they transformed into the most primal “chaotic fire essence”, nourishing the increasingly clear prototype of the “chaotic fire lotus” at the vortex centre.
This fire lotus displayed perfect chaotic hues. Its petals overlapped layer upon layer, as if containing endless worlds and flames.
It rotated slowly. With each turn, it emitted supreme dao charm that ruled all fires, incinerated all laws, and yet could also nurture all spirits. It symbolised both destruction and the source of creation.
At the same time, the countless dao charms, insights, and even traces of lingering will left by the Li Fire Demon Lord in this chaotic sea of fire flooded into Chen Ping’s sea of consciousness like a tide as he absorbed the flame origins.
It was the profound, unrestrained, and unbound interpretation of the essence of flame by a demonic path titan.
Chen Ping seemed to transform into a wisp of flame. He personally experienced the explosion and spread of that primal chaotic fire at the universe’s beginning.
He felt the endless eruption and condensation of light and heat at a star’s birth.
He comprehended the hope and fragility of the fire of civilisation igniting its first faint glow in darkness.
He also witnessed the destruction and desolation that incinerated everything at a world’s end.
Countless profound knowledges about flame application, flame divine abilities, flame laws, and even using flames to glimpse space-time, causality, and the great dao of life and death etched themselves into his divine soul like brands.
His origin stars flickered. They analysed, absorbed, and fused these profound fire great dao truths at unprecedented speed, making them part of his own power.
Quantitative change triggered qualitative transformation.
Under this immense energy infusion and baptism of supreme laws, Chen Ping’s cultivation bottleneck, already at the peak of seventh-grade Human Immortal and incredibly solid, quietly melted like ice under sunlight.
“Buzz!”
A majestic and pure aura rose from Chen Ping’s body without warning.
Eighth-grade Human Immortal! Breakthrough achieved.
And this was merely the beginning. The energy provided by the chaotic sea of fire was truly vast. Condensing the chaotic fire lotus required enormous foundations. The Li Fire Demon Lord’s great dao insights flowed endlessly.
With these triple boosts, his cultivation continued climbing at a jaw-dropping pace.
Early eighth grade… stabilising… mid eighth grade… surging… peak eighth grade… perfectly rounded…
Finally, after reaching a critical point, his aura gradually calmed. It settled firmly at peak eighth-grade Human Immortal.
Only a thin sheet of paper separated him from the final grade of Human Immortal, the ninth grade. He could pierce through it at any moment.
This breakthrough was far from simple spiritual power accumulation.
His supreme fire origin, having incorporated “chaotic fire essence”, underwent earth-shaking changes in quality.
It became more condensed like mercury, heavy as mountains. In circulation, it naturally carried scorching heat that incinerated all things and domineering might that ruled the heavens, yet inwardly contained boundless vitality and transformation.
If his previous supreme fire origin was an unsharpened peerless treasure sword, now it was a divine weapon quenched, edged, and blooded in battle.
His physical body, tempered inside and out by chaotic origin fire, saw explosive strength gains once more.
His skin glowed like jade, with faint chaotic lustre flowing. His bones faintly revealed pale gold. His marrow burned hot like magma, brimming with vitality.
Pure physical power alone now rivalled peak Heavenly Immortal body cultivators who specialised in physical techniques.
His divine soul, forged by myriad fires and baptised by great dao, grew purer and more solid. Divine sense strength and range increased several times. His perception and control over energies in heaven and earth, especially fire energies, reached a new microscopic level.
He could even vaguely see the flow paths and law threads of fire spirit qi in the air.
Time passed unknowably, as if an instant, yet like ten thousand years.
Finally, Chen Ping passed through the boundless chaotic sea of fire and stepped onto the only stable square at its centre, paved with chaotic crystal stones.
