Tuoshe Ancient Emperor looked utterly stunned, even wondering if he had misheard.
But Xiao Huohuo remained exceptionally firm.
"Senior, this sea of Heavenly Flames is not much of a challenge for me. Please increase the intensity."
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor could not help shaking his head with a bitter smile. "I never expected the one who entered to be such a little freak."
"Since that is the case, then as you wish." As he spoke, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor extended a finger and lightly pointed downward.
At once, the boundless Sea of Fire began to churn and riot, and Xiao Huohuo's brows finally furrowed slightly.
This level of Heavenly Flame was barely acceptable.
Blazing Heavenly Flames ignited across Xiao Huohuo's body. His flesh melted beneath the searing heat, turning into blood mist that filled the sky.

Tuoshe Ancient Emperor watched Xiao Huohuo with satisfaction.
After so many years, he had finally found a successor.
The surrounding Heavenly Flames grew increasingly fierce. The Sea of Fire surged as scorching flames continuously licked at Xiao Huohuo.

Countless Heavenly Flames dissipated, while the Flame Lotus Seed above Xiao Huohuo's head released a dazzling radiance.
Countless rays of light
