On the vast, sprawling plaza, stone pillars carved with mysterious patterns towered high. As they drew near, an ancient, desolate aura washed over them.
Upon those stone pillars, brilliant flames bloomed like flowers.
"This is..."
"Heavenly Flames...!"
"They're all Heavenly Flames! This Tou She Ancient God...!"
Looking at the flames burning atop the pillars, everyone was shaken. Every single one of those flames was a Heavenly Flame.
"Mysterious Yellow Flame... Green Lotus Core Flame... Bone Spirit Cold Flame... Eight Desolations Destruction Flame...!"
As they continued forward, their astonishment only grew. This place actually contained every Heavenly Flame.
However, after their initial shock, Xiao Heng and the others could naturally see through the true nature of these flames.
Xiao Heng looked at an Emerald Green Flame and said gravely, "Perhaps ten million years ago, the Heavenly Flames here truly were genuine Heavenly Flames. But after so much time has passed, the source energy within these flames has long since dissipated. Now, they are merely ordinary flames that possess the forms of Heavenly Flames. They may not even compare to the beast flames of some Magical Beasts."
Hearing this, many people nodded slightly, their hearts calming down. Fortunately, that was the case. Otherwise, so many Heavenly Flames would have been an unimaginable opportunity.
They continued onward, their gazes sweeping across the flames on the towering stone pillars. Gradually, they reached the depths of the plaza. Two pillars stood there, yet there were no flames upon them.
Xiao Heng looked back. Of the twenty-three Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, twenty had now appeared. The remaining two pillars undoubtedly belonged to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Nihility Devouring Flame.
As for the final Emperor Flame... Xiao Heng looked toward the grand hall shrouded in mist.
He glanced at Xiao Yan.
