Innate Crimson Emperor

Within the small blessed land, the Five Source Spirit Disk served as the core, with five Five Elements Spiritual Rings as its foundation.

Luo Qing sat cross-legged within the formation's nexus.

The vast Fire Element origin gathered within the Five Source Spirit Disk circulated, with fire giving birth to earth, earth to metal, metal to water, water to wood, and wood regenerating fire.

This cycle, ceaseless and unending, would take the Fire Element origin plundered from other Innate Fire Gods.

After completing a full cycle, its original imprint would be thoroughly erased, transforming it into pure Origin of the Great Dao of Fire.

Finally, this pure and flawless Fire Element origin would pass through the Fire Spirit Ring and into Luo Qing's body.

The moment this vast Fire Element origin was completely purified.

On Fire Artifact Mountain, tens of thousands of miles away, all the Innate Fire Gods sensed that a sliver of their origin was completely missing.

Fortunately, the loss was not significant enough to affect their cultivation, so no one paid it any mind.

In the early stages of his transformation, Luo Qing's consciousness remained clear.

He integrated the Innate Rune frameworks of the Chi Huang Dharma Form and Divine Body into his own origin, one by one.

He carefully observed the fluctuations and changes in the Fire Element origin, as well as the increasingly dense spiritual energy emanating from the Fire Spirit Ring.

The Fire Spirit Ring, Luo Qing's accompanying treasured artifact, had been demoted to a mere treasured artifact because Luo Qing had seized its Fire Element origin fortune.

This time, all the Fire Element origin Luo Qing gathered had been filtered through the Fire Spirit Ring.

This artifact had, to some extent, undergone a baptism of Fire Element origin.

It had also been presented with an opportunity for another transformation.

And what Luo Qing found peculiar was that as the opportunity for the Fire Spirit Ring's transformation arrived.

The other four Five Elements Spiritual Rings unexpectedly connected their energies with the Fire Spirit Ring.

The Five Elements Essence, its origin, was undergoing a transformation and flow.

"The Five Elements give birth to and overcome each other! Yet they are also interconnected. The profound mystery of their changes is truly awe-inspiring!"

Sensing the profound mystery deep within the Five Elements' changes, Luo Qing gained a deeper understanding of their attributes.

"If I had to say, fire and wood are yang, water and metal are yin, and earth is the pivot that harmonizes yin and yang. That would be fitting."

Luo Qing's thoughts drifted, leading him from his own Fire Element origin to the Great Dao of Water.

"Perhaps I can study the Great Dao of Water in the future!"

Luo Qing mused to himself.

Although he had no intention of walking the path of complete Five Elements mastery, water and fire had always arisen in response to each other since ancient times. Studying them more would never be wrong.

As the transformation progressed, Luo Qing's consciousness gradually began to blur, until he completely lost external perception.

A three-zhang divine egg, its fiery aura infinitely rising, began to connect with the Fire Element origin of the Primordial Era within the small blessed land.

A Chi Huang status was forcefully imprinted upon the Great Dao of Fire, suppressing the statuses of many Innate Fire Gods.

The Great Dao of Fire had once again birthed a powerful, top-tier Innate God status, causing the Great Dao of Fire to vibrate.

It also attracted the attention of many Innate Fire Gods.

"Another top-tier Innate Fire God has been born, the Innate Crimson Emperor. It seems the competition within the Great Dao of Fire will become even more intense!" a high-level Innate Fire God in the Central Primordial Era lamented.

"What does it matter if he's a top-tier Innate Fire God? He's born too late. The biggest competitors now are still those two Innate Fire Phoenixes."

Some Fire Gods were indifferent to the emergence of the Innate Crimson Emperor.

He was simply born too late; many Fire Gods had already reached the cultivation level of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

In the Southern Primordial Territory, within the endless Fire Veins of Danfeng Mountain.

The birth of the Innate Crimson Emperor naturally drew the attention of Yuan Feng and Ancestor Huang.

"Another top-tier Innate Fire God has been born. It seems we need to hurry and strive to pacify the Southern Territory within three epochs."

The two sacred Fire Phoenixes conversed.

If one were to truly speak of it, among the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial Era, each was a path to the heavens.

While the Five Elements Great Dao was the foundation of all things, it did not even rank in the top ten, at most occupying a position within the top fifty.

However, in terms of fierce competition, no other Great Dao could compare to the Five Elements Great Daos.

The intensity of competition within the Great Dao of Fire, if not first, was definitely among the top three.

Even though Yuan Feng and Ancestor Huang stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial Era, they dared not be careless in the slightest.

Perhaps with one slip-up, they could be surpassed by other Innate Fire Gods.

In the Primordial Era's central region.

The Dragon Water Clan, the Kirin Beast Clan, and the Phoenix Avian Clan.

As time passed, the influence of the three clans grew increasingly vast.

They were all rushing against time, intensifying the integration of their respective territories.

The Southern Territory, the Eastern Region, and Canghai were scenes of intense clashes between Immortals and Gods every day.

The relatively weak Western Continent wasn't much stronger either.

The increasingly powerful Immortal Path forces and the widespread Mandalas, along with minor skirmishes between them and the Divine Path, had escalated into armed conflict.

Every day, countless gods perished, and countless more beings were conceived, joining the fierce battle.

The Central Primordial Era was also not peaceful.

The Immortal Path was rising, and Acquired Beings were becoming more numerous.

The conflict between Immortals and Gods, and the contradictions between Innate and Acquired Beings, grew increasingly sharp.

When Heaven's killing intent manifests, stars shift and constellations change; when Earth's killing intent manifests, dragons and snakes crawl across the land; when Man's killing intent manifests, Heaven and Earth are overturned.

Three Era cycles after the Fierce Beast Calamity ended.

The entire Primordial Era was in a state of booming prosperity, like a fire cooking oil.

In the Western Continent, within a hidden blessed land tens of thousands of miles away from the Wind Spirit Mountain Range.

A three-zhang-tall Fire Nascent Soul egg suddenly appeared in the silence with a crack.

A crack appeared on the divine egg.

This crisp sound seemed to startle an unknown god.

The divine egg began to shake violently, emitting a dazzling crimson firelight.

In just a moment, a majestic, handsome, and indescribably supreme Innate Fire God emerged from the firelight.

With each step he took, the divine aura on his body diminished by a fraction.

After five breaths of time, the divine Innate Fire God transformed into Luo Qing's true form.

"This nap was truly comfortable!"

Luo Qing stretched lazily, muttering.

As soon as he emerged again, he immediately sensed the changes in the Primordial Era's timeline.

This second transformation had taken a full three Era cycles, over three hundred thousand years.

"From today onwards, I am the Innate Crimson Emperor Fire God!"

Luo Qing's Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura was fully displayed.

This transformation had not only elevated Luo Qing's foundation from a mid-tier Innate God to a top-tier Innate God.

His Divine Path cultivation had also leaped from the late stage of Gold God to the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

The laws of fire were now completely understood by him within these three Era cycles.

However, his Immortal Path cultivation remained at the late stage of Golden Immortal, requiring Luo Qing to cultivate it himself.

Having just transformed and emerged, Luo Qing did not rush to leave.

He extended his left hand, and a Fire Spirit Ring appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Ring had also transformed along with Luo Qing.

The Fire Spirit Ring had finally recovered its original appearance, becoming a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It was no different from the other four spirit rings.

With the five rings combined, they were equivalent to a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

With this treasure, Luo Qing was confident that he would not be inferior to anyone, even among top-tier Innate Gods.

Furthermore, after this transformation, Luo Qing's Innate Fire God talent had also been strengthened.

[Innate Crimson Emperor Fire God]

Foundation: Top-tier Innate God

Status Dharma Form: Crimson Emperor Dharma Form

Talents: God and Dao Aligned, Crimson Emperor Divine Flame

The divine ability Nine Breaths to Absorb Qi had been upgraded to the God and Dao Aligned talent.

With God and Dao Aligned, Luo Qing merged with the Great Dao of Fire. Both his Essence cultivation and his understanding of the Great Dao were rapidly advancing every moment.

As long as Luo Qing's understanding of the Great Dao reached a certain level, his Spirit would automatically replenish his cultivation.

This meant that Luo Qing would no longer need to meditate and cultivate to accumulate Divine Body Essence in the future.

He only needed to comprehend the Great Dao, and his cultivation would automatically increase.

Of course, this was only limited to Divine Path Essence; Immortal Path Qi still required Luo Qing to actively cultivate.

The Crimson Emperor Divine Flame was also an upgraded version of the Innate Crimson Fire, so further explanation was unnecessary.
