Chapter 1649 — Chapter 1649 Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique
5 min read ·
"Turning the flames into his own strength… that is a realm above Fire Harmony…" Feng Liqiu muttered in a dazed voice.
While the phoenixes remained stunned by Yuan's remarkable achievements, he decided to push the boundaries of his newfound power. Without hesitation, he leaped straight into the eighth level, where the brilliant white flames roared fiercely.
'Sure enough, I don't feel any difference… no… this is even more comfortable than the black flames!' Yuan thought, closing his eyes as the white flames enveloped him.
"This is… outrageous…" Feng Liqiu muttered, her body trembling as she stared at Yuan's figure. The white flames, powerful enough to seriously injure even her—despite having pushed her Fire Harmony to its limits—seemed to have no effect on him. Just days ago, he had struggled on the second level, yet now, this mere human was enduring the flames of the eighth level with ease. The sight left her speechless and shaken.
"I don't get it." The Primordial Phoenix suddenly muttered out loud.
"Even if he has the ability to absorb my flames, there should be a limit to how much he could absorb without blowing up. His cultivation isn't increasing, and I refuse to believe that his single Chaotic Heart could contain so much Chaotic Essence! Where are all of the Chaotic Essence going?"
The Primordial Phoenix's question was a valid one. Just like a cup, no vessel—no matter how powerful—could hold an infinite amount. If one kept pouring water into a cup, it would eventually overflow. Similarly, there had to be a limit to how much power Yuan could absorb before reaching a breaking point. Yet, this breaking point was nowhere to be seen with Yuan.
Sure enough, Yuan's Chaotic Heart could not contain an infinite amount of Chaotic Essence, and once it was completely filled to the brim, the Chaotic Essence was sent elsewhere.
[Primordial Fire]
[Rank: Celestial]
[Mastery Level: 1]
[Description: The highest level of fire mastery, attainable only by a few bloodlines. Primordial Fire transcends all other flames, bypassing even the strongest fire resistance and immunity. It is the ultimate expression of fire, a flame unrivaled in destructive capability and feared by even phoenixes.]
'So I can turn the flames I absorbed into my own power…' Yuan swallowed nervously at the implications.
'If I can merge my physique with the fire immunity, I should be able to do the same with other immunities. Perhaps that's how I complete my new physique…'
Sometime later, Yuan turned his gaze to the ninth and final level of the Nine Levels of Hell. Unlike the previous eight levels, there were no visible flames in the ninth. However, despite the absence of fire, Yuan could clearly sense something powerful and ominous lingering within.
'It looks like I am not completely impervious to all fire yet…' Yuan sighed inwardly. Though he had endured the eighth level without any issues, he could instinctively sense that the ninth level was different—deadly, even for him. 'I guess it's about time I leave this place.'
In just a few days, he'd completed his Chaotic Heart, gained fire immunity, evolved his physique, and even acquired a Celestial-rank skill.
Feeling satisfied by the results, Yuan left the Nine Levels of Hell.
The moment Yuan emerged from the volcano, he instinctively sensed something hurtling toward him. Turning around, his eyes widened as he spotted a massive ball of black flames flying directly at him.
Yuan instinctively raised his arm, opening his palm to block the incoming flames with his bare hand. The moment the massive ball of flames made contact with his palm, it was absorbed instantly. The flames, which were strong enough to kill even immortals, vanished into his hand, leaving Yuan unscathed. "What was that about?" Yuan looked at the Primordial Phoenix, who was responsible for the surprise attack.
"I wanted to confirm your abilities."
"What if that had killed me?"
"But it didn't."
"Unbelievable…"
"Why are you complaining? You should be thanking me for letting you use the Nine Levels of Hell."
"I would've if you didn't send me here because of your pettiness." Yuan shrugged.
"I have no clue what you're talking about." The Primordial Phoenix shook her head.
"Whatever. I'm going to head to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary now that I have completed my Chaotic Heart." "W-wait a minute!" Feng Liqiu suddenly spoke up.
"Hm? Who are you?" Yuan asked.
"I'm Feng Liqiu, the second eldest in the family."
"Oh, hello. Do you need something from me?"
"Can you tell me how you are absorbing the flames?"
"It's mostly thanks to my unique physique, that's all."
"Were you born with that physique?"
"Yes."
Feng Liqiu suddenly became silent with a ponderous expression on her face.
"If there's nothing else—"
"Wait, I have one more thing—a request."
"What kind?"
Feng Liqiu narrowed her eyes and spoke, "Give me some of your blood and Chaotic Essence."
"What?" Yuan raised an eyebrow, unable to comprehend her request at first.
However, Feng Yao and the Primordial Phoenix reacted with shock, their eyes wide in disbelief. The request clearly struck them, while the Primal Monarch, observing the scene, wore a slight smile, as if amused.
"Hm? Wait a second…" Yuan suddenly had a sense of Deja Vu.
Then, he recalled a certain conversation he had with Lan Yingying.
He swallowed nervously before asking, "That request… you want to conceive with my energy?" She nodded without hesitation.
"What the hell are you thinking?" The Primordial Phoenix suddenly interjected.
"I have been wanting a child for a while now, and I think this is the perfect time."
"But with a human…? I have never heard of anything like that before! Is that even possible?"
"I guess we'll find out soon enough!" Feng Liqiu smiled.
"Ahem." Yuan cleared his throat and said, "It's definitely possible for beasts to conceive with humans since it's been done before in my world, but I have no intention of doing something like that with someone I don't know."
"But I already told you who I am." Feng Liqiu said.
"You know what I mean…" Yuan shook his head.
