Chapter 1648 Impervious to Fire
Chapter 1648 Impervious to Fire
"Primal Monarch!" Feng Yao and Feng Liqiu lowered their head after snapping out of their daze.
The Primal Monarch acknowledged them with a slight nod before looking at the Primordial Phoenix and asking, "So, why did you call for me?"
The Primordial Phoenix looked at Yuan and spoke, "You know, I have secretly been to the human world before, and I'd even spent a few thousand years there."
"What? When did you do such a thing? And why?" Feng Liqiu expressed shock after learning this information for the first time despite being the second eldest.
"After giving birth to my fourth child, I suddenly had the urge to see how my first child was doing, so I traveled to the human world to satisfy my curiosity. Just going there took several million years of traveling nonstop. I was only able to achieve this because she had the same bloodline as me, and I could sense someone of the same bloodline no matter the distance. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to find the human world, much less see my child."
"After arriving at the human world and confirming with my eyes that my first child was there, I spent several thousand years exploring the world. During my time there, I studied the humans, learning their customs and whatnot."
"Unfortunately, what stood out the most about humans was their insignificant strength. Even the strongest cultivators back then were laughably weak." The Primordial Phoenix recalled her experience in the Divine Heavens long before it was split.
"No matter how much potential they had, it didn't impress me even in the slightest. That's why I left their world so quickly. It was simply too boring, and I have already reunited with my first child—without her knowledge."
"However, this human cultivating inside my flames right now, he's different, and I want to know if you had anything to do with it, Primal Monarch."
The Primal Monarch smiled and said, "In essence, you want to know if I have anything to do with his abilities, correct?"
The Primordial Phoenix nodded.
The Primal Monarch looked at Yuan and smiled, "He may have my bloodline, but what he's displaying right now has nothing to do with it. It's something entirely different."
"I see…"
"Why do you even care?" The Primal Monarch asked.
"Just curious," she responded in a nonchalant manner.
A few days later, Yuan's aura suddenly began to transform.
The Primordial Phoenix and the others watched with anticipation.
<Progress: 99%>
Yuan stared at the progress for several hours straight, hoping it would be completed without needing him to enter the seventh level.
Realizing he needed stronger flames to complete his progress, Yuan turned his gaze toward the seventh level, where black flames roared ominously. These flames exuded a dangerous and oppressive energy, far more intense than anything he had encountered before.
'I will only be able to last a few seconds in the seventh level…' NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Even with his godlike physique, fire immunity, and incredible regeneration, Yuan knew he would perish in the seventh level if he stayed longer than a few seconds. The sheer power of the black flames was beyond anything he had faced before, and even this estimate felt like a dangerous gamble. But despite the risk, Yuan was determined to finish the progress.
"He's looking toward the seventh level… don't tell me he plans on going deeper? Does he have a death wish?" Feng Yao swallowed nervously.
Feng Liqiu narrowed her eyes, recalling her first time entering the seventh level.
When she first attempted the seventh level, she'd just achieved Fire Harmony, but even that was not enough to withstand the black flames, and she nearly lost her life just entering it.
'If Mother didn't save me at the last second, I would've perished on that day…' Feng Liqiu sighed inwardly.
After preparing himself, Yuan took one last deep breath before jumping into the black flames.
'The flames are much more powerful than I anticipated! I won't last more than a second in this place!' Yuan immediately realized that he'd underestimated the prowess of the black flames, but it was already too late to go back.
More than half of his body was burned away the instant he entered the seventh level. However, at the same time, his progress also advanced.
<Progress: 100%>
<Congratulation, your Heaven Refining Immortal Physique has successfully merged with Fire Immunity>
<Heaven Refining Immortal Physique has evolved to Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique(Incomplete)>
The moment Yuan's physique evolved, the black flames ceased their relentless assault on his body. Instead of burning him, the flames began to restore his body, even strengthening it.
Once his body was fully restored, the flames began filling his Chaotic Heart with Chaotic Essence, causing his cultivation to soar once again.
<You have absorbed Chaotic Essence>
<You have absorbed enough Chaotic Essence for a breakthrough!>
<You have reached Intermediate Chaotic Master>
<You have reached Advanced Chaotic Master>
<You have reached Perfect Chaotic Master>
His cultivation halted at Perfect Chaotic Master, rivaling someone at the peak of Divine Master.
Yuan inspected his body, marveling at the transformation. The black flames, which had once pushed him to the brink of collapse with unbearable pain, now felt soothing and comforting, as if he were basking in the perfect sunlight.
'Am I completely impervious to fire now?' Yuan wondered inwardly.
He turned his gaze toward the eighth level, where beautiful white flames raged with an ethereal intensity. Strangely, despite their brilliance and power, he couldn't sense any threat from them. It was as though the flames no longer held the capacity to harm him. "W-what just happened?! His body was on the verge of destruction just seconds ago! Now it seems as if the flames don't even affect him!" Feng Liqiu exclaimed, her voice filled with shock and disbelief.
"Not only is he unaffected by it, he's absorbing the flames and turning them into his own strength..." The Primordial Phoenix muttered, her eyes narrowing as she observed Yuan with a thoughtful expression.
