Within the Small Blessed Land, the Five Source Spirit Disk served as the core, while the five Five Elements Spiritual Rings formed the foundation.
Luo Qing sat cross-legged within the formation eye.
The immense Fire Element origin contained within the Five Source Spirit Disk followed the cycle of fire generating earth, earth generating metal, metal generating water, water generating wood, and wood generating fire once more.
This cycle, repeating endlessly and continuously, took the Fire Element origin plundered from the other Innate Fire Gods.
After circulating once, it completely erased their original imprints, transforming into a pure Origin of the Great Dao of Fire.
Finally, this pure and flawless Fire origin passed through the Fire Spirit Ring and entered Luo Qing's body.
The moment this immense Fire Element origin was completely purified,
far away on Fire Artifact Mountain, all the Innate Fire Gods sensed that a tiny portion of their origins had been completely lost.
Fortunately, the loss was minor and barely affected their cultivation, so no one paid it any mind.
In the early stage of his transformation, Luo Qing's consciousness remained clear.
He drove the Innate Runes forming the framework of the Chi Huang Dharma Form and Divine Body into his own origin one by one.
He carefully comprehended the fluctuations and changes in the Fire origin, as well as the increasingly dense spiritual essence on the Fire Spirit Ring.
The Fire Spirit Ring, Luo Qing's companion treasure, had been demoted to an ordinary treasure because Luo Qing had seized the creation within its Fire origin.
This time, all the Fire origin Luo Qing gathered had been filtered through the Fire Spirit Ring.
This treasure had also undergone, to some extent, a baptism of Fire origin.
It had gained an opportunity to transform once more.
What surprised Luo Qing was that when the Fire Spirit Ring's opportunity for transformation arrived,
the other four Five Elements Spiritual Rings unexpectedly linked their auras with the Fire Spirit Ring in unison.
The essences of the Five Elements underwent a subtle change, with their origins beginning to flow and transform.
"Five Elements generating and overcoming one another! Yet they are also connected as one. The profundity of these changes is truly astonishing!"
Having sensed the profundity at the heart of the Five Elements' transformations, Luo Qing gained an even deeper understanding of the Five Elements' attributes.
"If I had to put it plainly, fire and wood are yang, water and metal are yin, while earth is the pivot that harmonizes yin and yang. That is quite fitting."
Luo Qing's thoughts drifted, and his own Fire Element origin led him to contemplate the Water Element Dao.
"Perhaps I can study the Water Element Dao in the future!"
Luo Qing pondered silently.
Although he had no intention of taking the path of mastering all five elements, water and fire had complemented one another since ancient times. There could be no harm in studying them more.
As the transformation deepened, Luo Qing's consciousness gradually began to grow confused, until he completely lost all awareness of the outside world.
Within the Small Blessed Land, a three-zhang Divine Egg whose Fire aura rose without limit began to connect with the Origin Land of the Primordial Wilderness's Fire Element.
A powerful Chi Huang Position was branded onto the Fire Element Great Dao, pressing down on the positions of many Innate Fire Gods.
The Fire Element Great Dao had once again given birth to a powerful top-level Innate God position, causing the Fire Element Great Dao to tremble.
It also drew the gazes of many Innate Fire Gods.
"Another top-level Innate Fire God has been born. The Innate Crimson Emperor—this seems to mean that competition over the Fire Element Great Dao will become even fiercer!" A high-level Innate Fire God in the Central Primordial Era sighed.
"So what if he is a top-level Innate Fire God? He was only born now, and has already fallen a step behind. The greatest competitors are still those two Innate Fire Phoenixes."
Some Fire Gods did not take the birth of the Innate Crimson Emperor seriously.
He had simply been born too late. Many Fire Gods had already reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
In the Southern Primordial Territory, within Danfeng Mountain, where endless fire veins ran,
the birth of the Innate Crimson Emperor naturally caught the attention of Yuanfeng and Ancestor Huang.
"Another top-level Innate Fire God has been born. It seems we must hurry and strive to pacify the Southern Domain within three Epochs."
The two divine and sacred Fire Phoenixes exchanged words.
To put it simply, the Great Dao of the Primordial Wilderness contained three thousand paths, and every one of them was a path to transcendence.
Though the Five Elements Great Dao was honored as the foundation of all things, it could not even rank among the top ten. At most, it could occupy a place among the top fifty.
But when it came to fierce competition, no Great Dao could compare with these five paths of the Five Elements.
As for the intensity of competition over the Fire Element Great Dao, even if it was not first, it could absolutely rank among the top three.
Even Yuanfeng and Ancestor Huang, who already stood at the very pinnacle of the Primordial Wilderness, did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
If they were not careful, they might be surpassed by another Innate Fire God.
Within the Primordial Wilderness,
the Dragon Water Clan, the Kirin Beast Clan, and the Phoenix Avian Clan.
As time passed, the three clans' forces grew increasingly vast.
They all seemed to be racing against time as they hurried to consolidate their respective territories.
The Southern Domain, the eastern region, and Canghai Sea saw fierce clashes between immortals and gods every day.
The relatively weaker Western Continent was no better off.
The ever-growing Immortal Dao forces and the Mandala blooming everywhere had escalated their minor frictions with the Divine Dao into armed conflict.
Countless gods perished every day, while countless beings were born and joined the fierce battles.
The Central Primordial Era was not peaceful either.
The Immortal Dao was rising, and Acquired Beings were becoming increasingly numerous.
The struggle between immortals and gods, and the conflicts between Innate and Acquired Beings, were growing ever sharper.
"When Heaven sends forth killing intent, the stars shift and constellations change; when Earth sends forth killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land; when humans send forth killing intent, Heaven and Earth overturn."
Three Primordial Wilderness Epochs after the end of the Fierce Beast Calamity,
the entire Primordial Wilderness was in a flourishing state as vigorous as oil boiling over a raging fire.
On the Western Continent, within a hidden Small Blessed Land far beyond the Wind Spirit Mountain Range,
a three-zhang-tall Fire Origin Divine Egg suddenly produced a sharp crack in the silence.
A fissure appeared across the Divine Egg.
The crisp sound seemed to startle an Unknown Deity.
The Divine Egg began to shake violently, radiating dazzling crimson flames.
After only a moment, a majestic, divine, and indescribable top-level Innate Fire God emerged from the flames.
With each step he took, the divine splendor around him diminished.
After five breaths, the divine Innate Fire God had transformed into Luo Qing's true form.
"That was a truly comfortable sleep!"
Luo Qing stretched and muttered.
The instant he emerged once more, he sensed the changes in the flow of time throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
This second transformation had lasted a full three Epochs, more than three hundred thousand years.
"From this day onward, I am the Innate Crimson Emperor Fire God!"
The aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal burst forth from Luo Qing without restraint.
In this transformation, Luo Qing's foundation had not only advanced from that of a mid-level Innate God to a top-level Innate God.
His Divine Dao cultivation had also leaped from the late Golden God stage to the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.
During these three Epochs, he had completely comprehended the Laws of Fire.
Only his Immortal Dao cultivation remained at the late Golden Immortal stage, requiring him to cultivate it himself.
Having just transformed and emerged, Luo Qing did not hurry outside.
He extended his left hand, and a flaming spiritual ring appeared from thin air.
The Fire Spirit Ring had now transformed alongside Luo Qing.
The Fire Spirit Ring had finally recovered its original appearance, becoming a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It was identical to the other four spiritual rings.
When the five rings united, they could rival a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
With this treasure, Luo Qing was confident that even among top-level Innate Gods, he would not be inferior to anyone.
After this transformation, the innate talent of Luo Qing's Innate Fire God body had also been strengthened.
[Innate Crimson Emperor Fire God] Foundation: Top Innate God Position Dharma Appearance: Innate Crimson Emperor Dharma Form Talents: God and Dao Aligned, Crimson Emperor Divine Flame
The Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi, a divine defensive ability, had been upgraded into the talent God and Dao Aligned.
With God and Dao Aligned, Luo Qing merged with the Fire Element Great Dao. Whether in essence cultivation or comprehension of the Great Dao, he advanced rapidly with every passing moment.
As long as Luo Qing's comprehension of the Great Dao reached the required level, his divine essence would automatically replenish his cultivation.
This meant that Luo Qing would no longer need to sit in meditation and cultivate, accumulating the essence of his Divine Body.
He only needed to comprehend the Great Dao, and his cultivation would increase automatically.
Of course, this was limited to Divine Dao essence. His Immortal Dao Qi still required Luo Qing to cultivate it actively.
The Crimson Emperor Divine Flame was likewise an upgraded version of the Innate Crimson Fire, so there was no need to elaborate further.
