Primordial Star Scripture

True Fire is a peculiar kind of flame between heaven and earth.

Unlike ordinary flames that require other objects to maintain burning, "True Fire" is born directly from between heaven and earth and can burn for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, as long as it is not destroyed!

There are many varieties of "True Fire," and from the moment of its birth, they are categorized by different qualities. Furthermore, as the years of their existence extend, "True Fire" can evolve and transform.

Rumor has it, a powerful True Fire can even burn a Heavenly Saint Level expert alive, and even the weakest True Fire directly reaches the power ranking of Heaven Rank cultivation techniques.

In the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, countless records of peculiar True Fires are passed down, and one of the most mysterious and powerful True Fires that has appeared is said to have been collected by a late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm master from a sea vortex in the Chaotic Sea.

This cluster of True Fire, which is rumored to have burned for over a hundred thousand years, is preserved in the "Sea God Palace" of the Chaotic Sea!

Such True Fires are rare encounters in ten thousand years, and even the weaker ones are exceedingly difficult to find.

Even the lowest-grade Heaven Rank True Fire requires one to have reached the Rotating Pill Realm in strength, and to have merged with the Fire Element Law from the five Heavenly Void Laws, to have a chance of collecting it.

And to refine "True Fire" into one's body for personal use is even more challenging.

Even a Rotating Pill Realm expert who has merged with the Fire Element Law from the five Heavenly Void Laws, when refining the lowest-grade True Fire, can be burned to ashes in an instant if they're not careful.

For a cultivator below the Rotating Pill Realm who hasn't come into contact with the Fire Element Laws, successfully refining True Fire is extremely difficult.

Unless one is naturally extremely suited to cultivate with the Fire Element Laws in their bloodline and physical body, coupled with ample preparation and cultivation technique nurturing, plus a stroke of luck, there's only a slim chance to refine True Fire with a cultivation level below the Rotating Pill Realm.

Therefore, when Fairy Nishang saw the purple flames in Liu Yan's hands, she couldn't believe it.

Although she didn't know what True Fire Liu Yan was holding, the peculiar behavior when the True Fire burned was unlike any other flame, and Fairy Nishang, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, surely would not mistake it.

Liu Yan, who was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm and still a teenager, was able to refine True Fire successfully, which naturally astonished Fairy Nishang to no end!

With "True Fire," Liu Yan would definitely be able to sweep away most of the Half-Step Rotating Pill experts and could undoubtedly be called a Supreme Expert among those in the Spirit Sea Realm!

At this moment, seeing Liu Yan take out the True Fire to deal with Ye Chen, even Fairy Nishang couldn't help but worry for Ye Chen.

When the True Fire burned, many people who were unaware of its origin, realized something from the fact that the True Qi within their bodies spontaneously burned off and disappeared upon contact with the flames, understood that the flames Liu Yan held were no ordinary matter.

It was likely that Liu Yan managed to become the leader of all the Sect Disciples from the Great Sect of the Flame Sect who entered the ancient tomb precisely by using this method!

"Ye Chen!"

Jiang Yao also looked at Ye Chen with immense concern at this moment.

As the True Fire burned, the True Qi in Jiang Yao's body also spontaneously surged through her meridians and even stirred her Bloodline Secret Skills, which she had to suppress to calm the agitation of her True Qi.

To know that Jiang Yao's Bloodline Secret Skills, having only been cultivated to the second layer, gave her the strength to contend against Half-Step Rotating Pill, not even Jiang Yao herself knew the origin of her Bloodline Secret Skills.

But Jiang Yao did know that anything that could stir her Bloodline Secret Skills was not simple at all.

The flames in Liu Yan's hands right now were just that kind of not simple thing!

And Liu Yan bringing out these flames to deal with Ye Chen naturally made Jiang Yao extremely worried.

In the Void Heaven.

Staring at the divine and peculiar purple flames in his palm, Liu Yan then raised his head to look at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I won't let you lose in confusion."

"This flame is a Heaven Rank True Fire called 'Soul-devouring True Fire,' collected by my master 'Daoist Chi Mei' from the Central Region Misty Peak of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. When this True Fire emerges, any contact with the Heaven and Earth True Qi will immediately be burned!"

"If you fall to this 'Soul-devouring True Fire' today, or die under it, don't blame me!"

Boom!

As Liu Yan spoke, with a slight shake of his palm, the purple flame in his hand instantly merged into the rolling purple True Qi outside his body.

Instantly, the purple True Qi surrounding Liu Yan began to burn furiously, emitting an unparalleled heat and purple glow.

"Soul-devouring True Fire!"

"It's actually a kind of True Fire!"

Hearing Liu Yan's words, many people on the huge lotus leaf below who knew of True Fire exclaimed in shock, and those who didn't know what True Fire was, after asking around and realizing how powerful it was, also took a deep breath.

Seeing Liu Yan act like this, it seemed he was going to confront Ye Chen with True Fire, which, being a Heaven Rank True Fire, was the lowest amongst countless types of True Fires but was absolutely sufficient against those in the Spirit Sea Realm and Half-Step Rotating Pill.

If one couldn't withstand the Killing Force of a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, they would definitely die under this True Fire.

"Ye Chen, do you want me to make a move to help you?"

Just as countless people were marveling at the sudden release of True Fire by Liu Yan, Ye Chen, who was directly facing Liu Yan, suddenly heard Divine Sense Transmission from Fairy Nishang.

"Fairy Nishang?"

Ye Chen looked at Fairy Nishang, puzzled as to why she would offer to help him.

"My martial sister is Fairy Ni Xia, and she is friends with Fairy Jia Luo from your Taixuan Sect. Plus, you saved a Sect Disciple of our Sect on the Fourth Sea Island. If you can't handle this True Fire, I can help you resist it!" Fairy Nishang continued to transmit her message.

Even if the True Fire was extraordinarily powerful, as Fairy Nishang had stepped into Half-Step Rotating Pill for hundreds of years, she naturally had the means to deal with it.

Simultaneously, Jiang Yao also transmitted to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, shall we join forces against Liu Yan?"

Clearly, when Liu Yan revealed his True Fire skills, many began to worry for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gave Jiang Yao and Fairy Nishang a gentle smile and transmitted back, "No need, this True Fire can't hurt me!"

For some reason, when Liu Yan unleashed his True Fire, Ye Chen even felt that the Nine Transformation Fighting Body cultivation technique he practiced, along with the countless Golden Monkey Spirit Patterns fused into his body, were all surging vehemently.

It seemed as if the True Fire held a mysterious stimulus for Ye Chen's Nine Transformation Fighting Body technique!

The Nine Transformation Fighting Body was a Bone Pattern Secret Transmission left by Heavenly Saint Di Kong; by cultivating it to the Ninth Transformation, one could even attain combat power on the level of the Heavenly Saints, which was certainly no less extraordinary than Liu Yan's True Fire!

Although Ye Chen had not yet cultivated to the Ninth Transformation and had only touched upon the Fourth Transformation, he was already confident in his ability to deal with this True Fire.

Furthermore, the Gang Yuan True Qi that Ye Chen cultivated was not ordinary Heaven and Earth True Qi but a special type of True Qi that originated from the "Gang Yuan Chapter" of the Primordial Star Scripture.

While everyone else's True Qi was burning away upon the release of Liu Yan's True Fire, the roaring Gang Yuan True Qi within Ye Chen's body, when faced with the True Fire, did not exhibit the slightest abnormality!

Clearly, mere Heaven Rank "Soul-devouring True Fire" could not directly burn Ye Chen's True Qi.

Ye Chen's methods were not limited to just the Nine Transformation Fighting Body and Gang Yuan True Qi; he had many other techniques at his disposal, so naturally, he was unafraid of Liu Yan!

In the midst of everyone's anxious gazes, Ye Chen looked at Liu Yan and called out, "Make your move!"

Ye Chen knew the reason Liu Yan wanted to battle him; the three deceased Flame Sect disciples were just the catalyst. What Liu Yan truly sought was to demonstrate his own strength by defeating Ye Chen.

Liu Yan wanted to prove himself, and Ye Chen also wanted to see just how extraordinary this True Fire really was.

So let the true contest begin, to see who would be superior!

Seeing Ye Chen's fearless demeanor, Liu Yan sneered inwardly, "Truly ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth!"

Boom!

The moment he sneered inwardly, Liu Yan made his move.

His body, enveloped by swirling purple True Qi flames, instantly transformed him into a blaze of fire shooting towards Ye Chen.

As the fireblaze shot forward, several droplets of flame fell, scaring several late-stage Spirit Sea disciples, who were standing below, into leaping away before they even touched down.

These late-stage Spirit Sea disciples were shocked to find that as the falling flames passed by them, more than half of their True Qi had dissipated, as if devoured.

The Soul-devouring True Fire truly was extraordinary!

And in the sky, could Ye Chen truly handle the full force of the burning flames?

Just as they looked towards the sky, they were astonished to see Ye Chen, instead of dodging, boldly confronting Liu Yan head-on!

Ye Chen was indeed fearless against the True Fire and dared to clash directly with Liu Yan!

In the instant of their collision, a fierce smile flashed across Liu Yan's face, and with a palm strike towards Ye Chen, a massive wave of flames burst forth, engulfing Ye Chen.

But at that moment, Ye Chen flipped his palm and grasped the flames directly.

Looking towards Ye Chen's palm, one could see divine golden patterns shimmering upon it.

These were none other than the Nine Transformation Golden Body Talisman Patterns from Ye Chen's cultivation of the Nine Transformation Fighting Body!

"Ye Chen dares to grab the True Fire with his hands?"

"Heavens, it's said that if True Fire falls on a Half-Step Rotating Pill without the protection of a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, even the Half-Step Rotating Pill can be burned to nothing. Does Ye Chen not know how terrifying True Fire is?"

Amidst the shocked cries from below, Ye Chen's palm, flickering with the Nine Transformation Golden Body Talisman Patterns, had already directly grasped the Soul-devouring True Fire!

Many people closed their eyes, not daring to watch.

Yet, they suddenly heard the voices of disbelief from those around them who kept their eyes open.

When they opened their eyes and looked up at the sky again, they were horrified to see that the massive wave of True Fire that was headed for Ye Chen had been completely snuffed out by his palms!

And there stood Ye Chen, without a scratch on him, not only unharmed but also wearing an excited smile on his face!

Everyone watching from below was stunned by this development.

What they didn't know was that as Ye Chen snuffed out the True Fire with his Nine Transformation Golden Body Talisman Patterned palms, he felt the golden patterns in contact with the True Fire stimulate growth in his Inner energy, as if invigorating his Nine Transformation Fighting Body's Fourth Transformation!

Ye Chen was seeking to comprehend the connection between the Fourth Transformation of the Nine Transformation Fighting Body and the True Fire, but Liu Yan, who battled against Ye Chen, seemed as if he had seen a ghost.

He had never witnessed anyone able to extinguish his True Fire with their bare hands!

What exactly were those golden lines on Ye Chen's palms that made them impervious even to True Fire?

What kind of monster was Ye Chen, to possess such an array of fierce techniques?!

Liu Yan was shouting within his heart.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe that my painstakingly cultivated True Fire can't even handle an early-stage Spirit Sea cultivator!"

Unable to accept this outcome, Liu Yan opened his mouth and spewed forth an even more fearsome purple fire, the True Fire itself, directly aimed at Ye Chen.

This was no longer the True Fire merged with his True Qi; this was the True Fire essence that Liu Yan had truly refined.

With one move rendered ineffective, Liu Yan now unleashed the destructive might of the True Fire essence!
