Chapter 5814
Above the sea of fire, space twisted and shattered, displaying bizarre and fantastical phenomena. At times, it revealed the chaotic scene of the world’s beginning, at other times, it reflected apocalyptic images of star destruction.
At the heart of this chaotic and raging inferno, the outline of a magnificent building was faintly visible.
The building seemed to be sculpted from the purest “chaotic crystal,” crystal clear yet containing boundless radiance, exhibiting a strange texture that was neither black nor white, encompassing all colors.
Its form was not that of an ordinary palace or pavilion, but rather a multi-tiered, slightly rotating “pyramid of fire,” its apex pointing directly to the most chaotic fiery dome above.
The entire pyramid was tightly enveloped and protected by a layer of dense, ever-changing, chaotic flames—the Chaotic Origin Fire.
Even from a great distance, Kai could clearly feel the supreme aura emanating from the Chaotic Origin Fire, a power that made all things tremble and the laws of nature weep.
At the edge of the forbidden area, a colossal stone tablet, ten zhang tall, blood-red in color, seemingly formed from countless compressed and solidified flame runes, stood majestically.
Two deep engravings on its surface appeared to be written directly with supreme power, each stroke containing a terrifying will to burn souls and imprint on the void—the warning left by the Fire Demon Lord:
【Chaotic Origin Fire, Burning the Dao and Refining the God!】
【Those who do not attain the ultimate fire, will have their souls annihilated!】
Sixteen ancient and profound flame runes, strong and powerful, exuded an overwhelming aura. Even after countless ages, their remaining will remained like a raging fire, scorching the hearts and courage of those who dared to approach.
Kai stood at this boundary of flame and destruction, gazing at the roaring chaotic sea of fire and the mysterious chaotic crystal tower at its center.
The chaotic immortal power within his body accelerated its circulation. Deep within his dantian, the previously dormant chaotic vortex now spun noticeably faster, radiating an increasingly intense yearning and resonance!
At the center of the cyclone, a faint yet incredibly pure spark of chaotic fire, seemingly reflecting the birth and death of countless flames, was gradually being ignited and grown stronger!
The feeling was incredibly clear—the chaotic source fire ahead shared the same origin as some kind of primordial energy within him!
It wasn’t a threat, but rather… a call!
It was the mutual attraction of long-lost, shared energies!
“The ultimate source of fire… the chaotic source fire…”
Kai’s eyes gleamed, and a barely perceptible smile curved his lips. “It seems this was prepared for me.”
Without the slightest hesitation, under the gaze of Ling Yan’s suddenly contracting pupils in the distance, he took a step forward, his figure as swift as lightning, directly plunging into the chaotic sea of fire—enough to instantly reduce even a peak Celestial Immortal Realm expert to ashes!
“Fellow Daoist Chen! No! Come back!”
Ling Yan’s cry of alarm was instantly drowned out by the raging roar of the flames.
However, the anticipated scene of Kai being engulfed by the myriad flames and annihilated with screams did not occur. The chaotic sea of fire, powerful enough to incinerate stars and scorch through space, underwent an incredible transformation the moment it touched Kai’s body!
The raging flames, as if meeting a supreme ruler, instantly subdued their wildness!
They no longer attacked and burned haphazardly, but became exceptionally “docile” and “orderly.”
The crimson blazing fire automatically parted to form a channel;
the golden solar essence fire transformed into specks of light, gently sprinkling on Kai’s body, not only without burning him, but also penetrating him and transforming into the purest source of ultimate fire;
the purple Zixiao thunderfire no longer crackled and exploded, but instead, like a docile pet, coiled around his wrists, sending a tingling, tempering sensation through him;
the pitch-black void-devouring flames no longer devoured, but instead surrounded him, first “filtering” and “taming” other overly explosive fire energies…
A thin layer of strange halo, constantly shifting in chaotic colors, naturally appeared on Kai’s body.
This halo, though seemingly weak, exuded an ancient aura of supreme power, commanding all flames—the spiritual light of the Chaotic Fire Source!
This was the natural manifestation of the primordial phenomenon of the Chaotic Qi Cyclone and Chaotic Spark within his dantian, stimulated by external forces of the same origin!
He walked calmly and composedly through the Chaotic Sea of Fire, a place that even Ling Yan feared, as if he were strolling in his own courtyard rather than walking through a land of destruction.
Even more astonishing was that as he continued to advance towards the center of the sea of fire, towards the Chaotic Crystal Tower, the endless, raging flames around him seemed to receive a call from the most primal source, actively and joyfully converging upon him!
It wasn’t an aggressive encirclement, but rather a “fusion” and “dedication” like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
Crimson, gold, purple, white, black… countless colors of flames shed their violent outer shells, revealing their most core, most primordial law runes and energy essence.
Transforming into dazzling, multicolored torrents, they surged towards Kai from all directions, flowing unimpeded into the chaotic fire source spiritual light surrounding him.
They were then rapidly absorbed and refined by that light, merging into the increasingly bright and solidified chaotic vortex and sparks within his dantian!
With each step he took, the surrounding sea of fire dimmed slightly, the roar of the flames subsided, and his aura grew more powerful and refined!
Wherever he passed, the flames extinguished, leaving a brief, relatively calm passage, though it was quickly filled by the surging flames from the outside.
But this spectacle of “pulling chestnuts out of the fire” and “all fires converging” was enough to leave Ling Yan, who was barely able to perceive it with his divine sense, utterly astonished and speechless!
“The source of ultimate fire…it really is the source of ultimate fire! And it is…it is the legendary ‘Chaotic Fire Seed’!”
Ling Yan’s voice trembled, filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
