Eight Flames Return to the Dao

Not long after the purple flames of the Crimson Flame Star dissipated, the Law Light Barrier at the Primordial Chaos Universe Edge suddenly rippled, like Star Sea swept by Ancient Gods wind. Within the layers of halos, countless Primordial Runes flowed rapidly like fireflies, weaving into a long scroll of Daoist rhyme spanning billions of miles. The Profound Yellow Mother Pearl in Ren Xiaoyao's palm suddenly burst forth with a dazzling yellow light. Within the Xuanhuang Qi flowing around the pearl, seven points of light interwoven with ancient fire patterns flickered like Primordial Chaos stars—these were the Origin Imprint of the other seven Ancient Flame True Spirit of the Void Devouring Meteor Realm. The moment the Heaven Burning Flame Spirit surrendered, the resonance of the Innate Fire Dao in this perilous place known for "devouring" and "Annihilation" was completely activated. The seven ancient flame auras, dormant for billions of years, awakened from the deepest part of the realm, carrying a violent fluctuation of both fear and resentment, like seven ancient fire dragons that had been dormant for billions of years, their scales and claws appearing and disappearing in the Chaos Current, locking onto the intruder in the Primordial Chaos Universe.

"The Innate Fire Dao originates from the same source. Since the Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation has returned, why do you resist?" Ren Xiaoyao's white robes fluttered, his black hair danced wildly in the cosmic currents, each strand swirling with a faint Primordial Violet Qi. As the purple qi aura circulated, it caused subtle ripples of Dao principles to spread across the surrounding void. The Primordial Chaos Universe behind him suddenly expanded, growing from thirty million miles to forty million miles. Billions of stars simultaneously emitted deafening roars, as if all the gods were chanting the Great Dao True Words. The blazing Flame Sect of the burning stars transformed into a sky full of golden rainbows, weaving in the void into a fire path Totems that Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and earth. On the Totems, Fire Dao Runes from all directions seemed to come alive. As he walked, he exuded an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon all heavens. The Profound Yellow Mother Pearl above his head hung high like the blazing sun, its Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang energies surging like a turbulent sea, stirring up countless streams of Principle light, directly tearing apart the Space Barrier of the Void Devouring Meteor Realm, opening up seven jade-colored passages tens of thousands of miles wide. The inner walls of the passages were filled with crystal-clear Primordial Runes, like seven-colored diamonds inlaid in the void, completely isolating the Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation Flame Sect and Space Turbulence along the way; within the passages, Spirit Spring formed from Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy flowed gently, with tiny Law Crystallization floating in the water, nourishing every inch of the path, so that even ordinary cultivators could comprehend the Dao and advance their cultivation by stepping into them.

At the end of the first passage, instead of the expected scorching heat, lay an extremely cold void filled with countless Ice Crystals —this was the most bizarre "Ice Fire Forbidden Zone" in the Void Devouring Meteor Realm. Boiling magma and Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice intertwined and collided in the void. Amidst rising white mist, countless ice shards and fire spikes floated like swords. The ice shards gleamed with a chilling blue light, their surfaces inscribed with runes of the freezing Principle; the fire spikes burned with crimson Flame Sect, their Flame Heart containing the Daoist principles of incinerating True Spirit. Wherever the two touched, the ice melted and the fire vanished simultaneously, forming Primordial Chaos vacuums where even light could not escape. In the center, a pale blue Ice Lotus, eighty thousand miles in diameter, bloomed silently. Its petals were sculpted from millennia-old ice, their textures resembling naturally formed ice cracks, yet burning with a faint... A cold, azure flame flickered, freezing the surrounding void into a transparent ice shell. Countless tiny Law Runes silently shattered on this shell. At the core of the Ice Lotus, a humanoid phantom sat cross-legged, clad in a robe woven from Ice Crystals. Ice and fire patterns intertwined on the robe, forming yin-yang symbols. A bone-chilling aura, capable of freezing the very soul, swirled around him. Wherever this aura passed, Chaos Current condensed into ice beads. This was none other than the eighth-ranked Ancient Flame True Spirit —the Profound Ice Flame Spirit. This Ancient Flame Spirit was born with mastery of the Dao of "ice and fire sharing the same origin." Its cold flames could freeze space and time, and incinerate True Spirit spirits. Wherever the icy flames passed, even invisible Principle were frozen into crystalline Ice Crystals, which were then completely refined by the Flame Sect. Over countless millennia, countless Great Emperor- level powerhouses had been frozen to death and incinerated here, leaving not even a trace of their True Spirit.

"Outsider, daring to trespass into my Ice Fire Forbidden Zone, you're courting death!" Profound Ice Flame Spirit's voice was like shattered ice, sharp and piercing, each word carrying a bone-chilling coldness that seemed to freeze one's very soul into Ice Crystals. Before the words had even finished, the azure Ice Lotus suddenly exploded, thousands of ice petals transforming into incomparably sharp ice blades. Each blade was wrapped in pale blue cold flames, the edges of which shimmered with a cold light that Sky-Rending Strike, swooping down towards Ren Xiaoyao like a meteor shower. Where the ice blades passed, the void instantly froze into ice, then melted under the scorching heat of the cold flames, forming patches of pitch-black Primordial Chaos vacuum. Within these vacuums, Space Turbulence surged wildly, but was firmly locked in place by the coldness and Flame Sect of the ice, unable to spread even an inch.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes remained calm and unwavering, as if the impending catastrophe was nothing more than a gentle breeze. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, causing billions of glaciers in the Primordial Chaos Universe to tremble simultaneously. The Power of Principle surged forth like a tide, transforming into a vast, 100,000-zhang-wide Ice River. Within the Ice River, countless Ice Crystals Ice Crystals, each containing the Power of Principle freezing all things. The surfaces of the Ice Crystals were engraved with Cold Dao Runes, which collided violently with the icy flames of the Profound Ice Flame Spirit. "Ice and fire share the same origin, Mutual Generation and Restraint, yet they are not irreconcilable." He murmured in his palm. A surge of Primordial Chaos Power of Life and Death erupted, the Black and White Qi intertwining like twin dragons, weaving into a Tai Chi Pattern. As the pattern rotated, it emanated a Daoist aura encompassing all things, completely enveloping the ice flames and the Ice River. As the Power of Life and Death flowed, the Cold Poison within the ice flames was completely refined, transforming into pure ice Dao essence; the extreme cold within the Ice River was gradually neutralized, transforming into pure fire Dao power. The two fused together within the Tai Chi Pattern, ultimately transforming into pure Innate Fire Dao essence, like a nimble Fire Snakes, flowing upstream towards the Profound Ice Flame Spirit.

The Profound Ice Flame Spirit's face showed horror. Having cultivated for billions of years, it had never seen a being capable of simultaneously controlling the powers of birth and death, as well as ice and fire. The essence of the Azure Ice Lotus burned rapidly, attempting to detonate its own Principle and perish together with Ren Xiaoyao, but it was firmly imprisoned by the yellow light emanating from the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl. The yellow light, like an invisible shackle, firmly locked its essence, rendering it unable to move an inch. The fluctuations of the Principle within its essence were suppressed by the yellow light, making it difficult to flow. "By merging with the Primordial Chaos, you can obtain both the Great Dao of Ice and Fire, break through the shackles of the True Spirit, and become the Great Emperor of Fire. Why must Jade and Stone Shattered?" Ren Xiaoyao's voice, like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, pierced through the barrier of ice and flame, reaching the depths of the Profound Ice Flame Spirit's essence. It carried an undeniable majesty and a gentle, persuasive quality. As his words flowed, they even caused the Fire Dao Runes within the Profound Ice Flame Spirit's essence to resonate.

As the words fell, a beam of purple flame shot out from the Crimson Flame Star in the Primordial Chaos Universe, merging with the Fire Dao Origin within the Tai Chi Pattern to form a chain of interwoven ice and fire Principle. Ice and fire patterns intertwined on the chain, flowing with a perfect Dao rhythm. Countless Primordial Runes flickered along the chain, radiating an aura of both inclusiveness and power, coiling towards the source of the Profound Ice Flame Spirit. The illusory Ice Lotus gradually shrank under the chain's pull, its pale blue flames resonating with the Primordial Chaos Fire Dao, emitting a clear, resonant sound, like a Daoist zither. The sound ultimately transformed into a streak of blue and green light, flying through the jade-colored passage into the Primordial Chaos Universe and merging into a star that was half ice and half fire. The star instantly erupted with dazzling light, the power of ice and fire intertwining on its surface to form beautiful patterns, like Tai Chi Symbol ice and fire, completing the "Frozen Incineration" principle of the Primordial Chaos Universe. From then on, the flames of the Primordial Chaos Universe could not only Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and destroy the earth, but also freeze time and space, their power increasing several times over. Even Space Barrier could instantly shatter under the power of the intertwined ice and fire.

The moment the Profound Ice Flame Spirit was subdued, a monstrous heatwave emanated from the second passage, seemingly threatening to incinerate the entire void—it was a "Burning Sea Purgatory" composed of magma. A sea of magma, billions of feet high, boiled and churned in the void, spewing out dark red volcanic ash with each burst of bubbles. This ash contained the power of fire, capable of burning everything in its path; when it fell into the void, it burned countless bottomless holes. Countless charred remnants of stars floated on the surface. These stars, once powerful beings in the universe, with diameters reaching millions of miles, had strayed into this place and been burned to ashes by the magma sea. Faint fluctuations of Principle still lingered on their remains, telling tales of their past glory and fall. In the center of the magma sea, a volcano tens of thousands of feet high rose abruptly. Rising from the volcano, the mountain was composed of solidified magma and metallic stone, its surface covered with jagged cracks from which flowed scorching magma. Golden Flame Sect spewed from the Volcanic Crater, and within the flames, a giant serpent formed from pure golden flames coiled and coiled. The serpent's body was covered with scale -Fire Dao Runes, each rune shimmering with a metallic luster. As the runes flowed, they exuded a terrifying aura capable of refining all things. This was none other than the seventh-ranked Ancient Flame True Spirit — the Golden Flame Spirit. This flame fed on metallic stone, and its flames could refine all things, even Innate Spirit Treasure, into molten iron. Its origin contained the Dao of "Metal-Stone Refinement." Over billions of years, it had devoured countless metallic stars, its Origin Power growing ever stronger. Even beings at the True Spirit level dared not easily provoke it.

"That piece of trash, the Heaven Burning Flame Spirit, dares to submit to you? Today, I'll let you taste the pain of being burned alive by golden flames!" The Golden Flame Spirit roared, its voice like the clash of metal, filled with violent rage. As the sound waves spread, they even shook the surrounding magma sea, causing towering waves thousands of feet high. The giant python's body suddenly swelled to 100,000 feet, its scales shimmering blindingly under the Golden Flame, each scale like a sharp blade. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a golden pillar of fire with a diameter of 10,000 miles. The pillar of fire contained billions of burning metal stones, each like a small star, carrying the power to Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and destroy the earth, crashing towards Ren Xiaoyao like a meteor Fire Rain. Wherever the pillar of fire passed, the void was burned through, forming a black passage. The Space Barrier around the passage collapsed continuously, turning into countless fragments. The magma sea surged with towering waves, sweeping towards the Primordial Chaos Universe. Within the waves, countless Fire Snakes formed from magma writhed wildly, flicking their tongues, trying to devour everything in their path.

The Primordial Chaos Universe behind Ren Xiaoyao suddenly lit up, the Power of Principle erupted in full force, and the Flame Sect of billions of stars converged into a golden wall of fire millions of feet high. Countless Fire Dao Runes flowed like a tide on the wall, radiating pure and scorching power, colliding violently with the pillar of fire from the Golden Flame Spirit. "Boom—!" With a deafening roar, the instant the golden pillar of fire collided with the wall of fire, billions of Mars shot into the sky. Each Mars contained pure Fire Dao Origin, burning small holes as it landed in the void; the Fire Dao Laws clashed, forming a... Ripples of various Principle spread out to hundreds of millions of miles away. "Golden flames, though sharp, can burn metal and stone, but they cannot burn the Primordial Chaos." Ren Xiaoyao held the Primordial Chaos Life and Death Axe and Death, the muscle lines of his arms faintly visible under his white robes, veins bulging as he unleashed the surging Primordial Chaos Dao Power within his body; he slashed down fiercely, the axe beam stretching for 100,000 feet, like a sharp blade World-Opening Technique and earth, containing the Life and Death Dao Principles and death and the Fire Dao Laws, Black and White Qi intertwined with Golden Flame, emitting a terrifying aura of destruction and creation, instantly splitting the golden pillar of fire in two, the axe beam's remaining power undiminished, directly striking the Volcanic Crater.

With a deafening roar, the volcano collapsed, sending countless magma and debris flying in all directions, crashing into the void and creating a series of booming sounds. The giant python body of the Golden Flame Spirit was severed in several sections by the axe's edge, its Golden Flame dimmed, and its aura became weak and listless. At the severed points, the Origin Power overflowed like a tide, but was constantly eroded by the surrounding Chaos Current. Ren Xiaoyao extended a stream of Primordial Chaos Dao Power from his palm, transforming it into countless Golden Runes, like stars in the sky, which merged into the Golden Flame Spirit's primordial essence. As the runes flowed, they nourished its damaged essence. "The Primordial Chaos Universe contains billions of golden stars and inexhaustible resources, enough for you to refine and cultivate for tens of millions of years; if you are willing to submit, I can help you comprehend the Dao of ' Refining Creation,' allowing your golden flames not only to refine all things but also to forge Principle, achieving a unique Dao of Refining Creation."

As the Golden Flame Spirit sensed the boundless resources and perfect Principle contained within the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, the ferocity in its eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of longing and awe. Its severed body reformed under the nourishment of the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, the Golden Flame becoming increasingly pure, devoid of any impurities. It bowed respectfully to Ren Xiaoyao, its massive python head slightly lowered, its voice carrying a hint of submission. "This junior is willing to submit to you, sir, and merge into the Primordial Chaos Universe." With that, the Golden Flame Spirit transformed into a golden streak of light, streaking across the void like a meteor, flying into the Primordial Chaos Universe through the jade-colored passage, merging into a star composed of pure gold. Instantly, countless refining runes appeared on the star's surface, interwoven into a net, radiating a powerful refining force. The "Gold, Stone, and Fire Dao" of the Primordial Chaos Universe was thus perfected; from then on, all gold and stone resources in the universe could be refined by the power of the Fire Dao, transforming into pure Principle energy to nourish the entire Primordial Chaos Universe.

Over the next three months, Ren Xiaoyao traversed the seven ancient flame lairs of the Void Devouring Meteor Realm, subduing the remaining five ancient flame True Spirit:

The sixth-ranked Nether Flame Spirit resides in the "Nether Fire Cave," the deepest part of the realm. Here, sunlight never shines, and countless fragments of divine souls float in the pitch-black void, emitting mournful howls. These fragments are the Remnant Souls of Living Beings devoured by the Nether Flame Spirit, enduring endless pain even after billions of years. The Nether Flame Spirit takes the form of a jet-black flame, within which countless tormented faces can be vaguely seen, twisted and struggling, radiating intense resentment. It can Devouring Light Rays and divine souls, its essence containing the Dao of "Dark Incineration." Wherever it passes, all things are plunged into eternal darkness and then burned to ashes, even the Principle are tainted by its dark power. When Ren Xiaoyao arrived, the Nether Flame Spirit transformed into a jet-black pillar of fire, carrying billions of fragments of divine souls, and swooped down upon him, attempting to devour his soul and strengthen its own essence. Ren Xiaoyao remained calm. Without haste, Primordial Violet Qi surged from his palm, illuminating purple qi void like sunlight and purifying the Nether Flame Spirit's dark power layer by layer. The devoured fragments of divine souls were freed within the purple qi, dissipating as specks of spiritual light. Then, he used the Life and Death Dao Power to guide its origin, gently saying, "The Primordial Chaos Universe encompasses all things. The Dark Star Region is perfect for your cultivation. By merging into it, you can break free from the shackles of darkness, comprehend the power of fire, a blend of light and darkness, and achieve the Great Dao of Perfection." The Nether Flame Spirit felt the purity and inclusiveness of the Primordial Violet Qi, as well as the compassion and power contained within the Life and Death Dao Power. The violence in its heart gradually dissipated, and it finally submitted, transforming into a stream of black light, flying into the Primordial Chaos Universe through the passage and merging into the Dark Star Region. From then on, the Dark Star Region of the Primordial Chaos Universe was no longer lifeless, but instead contained a powerful Dark Incineration force, becoming a unique defensive line in the universe.

The fifth-ranked Lightning Fire Flame Spirit resides within the "Lightning Fire Clouds." This cloud is formed by countless bolts of lightning and flames intertwined. Purple lightning weaves through the air like giant dragons, tearing through the void with each swing of its claws; red flames surge like an ocean, their waves of fire burning away the Principle. The collision of these two forces unleashes a deafening roar, like the simultaneous beating of a thousand war drums. The Lightning Fire Flame Spirit's flames are purplish-black, imbued with Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. The power of lightning and fire amplify each other, capable of attracting... The lightning, Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation, possessed the fundamental principle of "Lightning-Fire Unity," making it infinitely powerful. Upon seeing Ren Xiaoyao's intrusion, it immediately unleashed billions of bolts of lightning and flames, transforming into a sky-covering storm of thunder and fire. Within the storm, lightning blazed like dragons, and flames roared like tigers, sweeping towards Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever it passed, Space Barrier crumbled inch by inch, and Chaos Current was incinerated. In the Primordial Chaos Universe behind Ren Xiaoyao, the Power of Principle erupted in full force, countless bolts of lightning surged from the stars, mingling with the Lightning Fire Flame Spirit... The lightning and thunder Lightning Fire Flame Spirit resonated with each other, like old friends reunited, no longer attacking each other; at the same time, the Power of Principle Departure guided the flames, dismantling the thunder and fire storm layer by layer, separating the pure power of lightning and fire. "Lightning-Fire Unity, and can complement each other. In the Primordial Chaos Universe, there is a star densely covered with lightning, where flames and lightning intertwine and merge into it. You can take the power of lightning and fire to the next level, evolving into the Dao of Creation Lightning and Fire, which can both Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and destroy the earth, and also create life." Ren Xiaoyao's voice entered the source of the Lightning Fire Flame Spirit, carrying the allure and inclusiveness of the Great Dao. The Lightning Fire Flame Spirit felt the pure lightning and fire Principle in the Primordial Chaos Universe, as well as the aura of the same origin emanating from that star, and finally nodded in submission, transforming into a stream of purplish-black light, merging into the star densely covered with lightning. From then on, the fire path and the lightning path of the Primordial Chaos Universe intertwined, giving birth to the Dao of "Lightning-Fire Unity," where lightning and fire can transform into each other, multiplying their power, and even attacks at the level of Great Emperor can be easily neutralized.

The fourth-ranked Nirvana Flame Spirit resembles a Phoenix burning with seven-colored flames, perched atop the "Nirvana Ancient Wood." This ancient tree is millions of feet tall, its trunk so thick that it would take hundreds of millions of cultivators holding hands to encircle it. Its branches and leaves are lush, covering tens of millions of miles of void, each leaf burning with seven-colored flames. These flames contain the Daoist essence of life and destruction intertwined, radiating Vibrant Vitality. The Nirvana Flame Spirit controls the fire of "Life-and-Death Nirvana," capable of burning remnant souls and reshaping True Spirit. Its origin contains the power of life and destruction intertwined, making it the most unique fire power in the universe. Upon seeing Ren Xiaoyao arrive, it did not attack proactively, but instead hovered atop the ancient tree, its seven-colored wings outstretched, curiously observing him, its eyes gleaming with intelligence—it had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, long since seeing through life and death, only yearning to break free from its own shackles. "Nirvana Flame" "You can die or be reborn. The core star of the Primordial Chaos Universe needs a Origin Fire to sustain the rebirth of all living beings. If you merge into it, you can become the foundation for the rebirth of all living beings in the universe, accumulating immeasurable merit. Furthermore, you can use the vitality of the universe to break through the limits of the True Spirit and achieve the position of Great Emperor." Ren Xiaoyao said gently, his voice carrying a hint of resonance. The Life and Death Dao Power and Death within his body formed a subtle connection with the origin of the Nirvana Flame Spirit. The Nirvana Flame Spirit sensed the resonance between the Dao of Life and Death and Death in Ren Xiaoyao's Dao power and its own origin, as well as the rich vitality of the Primordial Chaos Universe. It immediately nodded in submission, its seven-colored flames receding and transforming into a stream of seven-colored light, merging into the core star of the Primordial Chaos Universe. From then on, if any living being in the Primordial Chaos Universe encounters misfortune, as long as their True Spirit is not destroyed, they can use the Nirvana Flame to reshape their bodies and be reborn, and the vitality of the universe will become even richer.

The third-ranked Chaos Flame Spirit was the first flame born at the Beginning of Chaos. It takes the form of a Primordial Chaos fireball, containing the essence of the Primordial Chaos Fire Dao Origin. It can burn Principle and evolve Primordial Chaos, making it one of the oldest fire True Spirit in the universe. It resides in the "Chaos Fire Cave," a cave formed by the interweaving of Chaos Current and flames. The surrounding Space Barrier are Primordial Chaos, Principle are disordered. Even True Spirit would lose their way and be swallowed by the Chaos Current if they entered. The Chaos Flame Spirit's essence is extremely powerful; even Ren Xiaoyao felt a pressure. The Chaos Power contained within its flames could easily tear through the defenses of the Primordial Chaos Dao Power. Upon seeing Ren Xiaoyao enter, it immediately released Chaos Fire. The Flame Heart were Primordial Chaos in color, with pure Chaos Origin at their core. Wherever they passed, Principle were burned, and Space Barrier collapsed, turning into Chaos Current. The Profound Yellow Mother Pearl above Ren Xiaoyao's head suddenly... As the light flared, the Xuanhuang Qi surged forth like a tide, enveloping the Chaos Fire layer by layer. Xuanhuang Qi is inherently the nemesis of Primordial Chaos, capable of purifying Primordial Chaos and stabilizing its Principle. Simultaneously, it nourished the flame's origin with the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, gently saying, "Chaos Flame Spirit, you are the first flame Beginning of Chaos, your origin pure. The Primordial Chaos core of the Primordial Chaos Universe is perfect for your cultivation. By merging into it, you can trace back to the Chaos Origin, comprehend the ultimate mysteries of the Chaos Fire Dao, break through your limitations, and become the Chaos Fire Emperor." Chaos Flame Spirit by the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl and embraced by the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, as well as by the shared aura emanating from the Primordial Chaos core, the Chaos Flame Spirit's inner rage gradually subsided, ultimately surrendering and transforming into a stream of Primordial Chaos light, merging into the Primordial Chaos core of the Primordial Chaos Universe. From then on, the Fire Dao Laws of the Primordial Chaos Universe traced back to the Chaos Origin, making the fire power even more primordial and pure, capable of burning all Principle and Primordial Chaos. Even Chaos Current could be refined and transformed into cosmic energy.

The second-ranked Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit shares the same origin as Ren Xiaoyao Primordial Chaos Dao Power. Its form is an invisible, intangible flame, capable of traversing between Primordial Chaos and Primordial Chaos, wielding the Dao of "Primordial Chaos Heaven-Burning." Its origin contains the Daoist essence of the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, making it the most mysterious fire True Spirit in the universe. It doesn't hide in a fixed lair but freely roams the Void Devouring Meteor Realm, sensing the changes in the universe. The moment Ren Xiaoyao subdued the Chaos Flame Spirit, it sensed the call of its shared Dao Power and appeared before Ren Xiaoyao, transforming into a transparent flame. Within the flame, Primordial Runes seen flowing, and it respectfully said, "This junior Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit, greets Your Excellency. This junior has already sensed Your Primordial Chaos Great Dao." "Its all-encompassing nature and freedom of birth and death are precisely the destination this junior has sought for billions of years. I wish to submit to you, sir, and merge into the Primordial Chaos Universe to jointly prove the Great Dao." Ren Xiaoyao's heart stirred slightly as he sensed the pure Primordial Chaos Dao Power within the Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit's origin, as well as the sense of closeness that shared his origin. He nodded and said, "Your Dao power is of the same origin as Primordial Chaos; you are of the same Xiaoyao Law Light Net of the Primordial Chaos Universe will become the core power maintaining the Fire Dao Laws, helping me perfect the Primordial Chaos Great Dao. In the future, you will become the Primordial Chaos Fire Emperor and roam freely through the heavens with me." The Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit respectfully agreed, transforming into a transparent Law Light Net of the Primordial Chaos Universe. Wherever the stream of light passed, the Law Light Net became more stable, and the operation of the Fire Dao Laws became smoother.

The moment the last Ancient Flame True Spirit — the Primordial Chaos Flame Spirit— merged into the universe, the Primordial Chaos Universe suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. Within this light lay the power of eight Fire Dao Origin: Crimson Flame, Netherworld Ice, Golden Flame, Netherworld Flame, Thunderfire, Nirvana Flame, Primordial Chaos, Primordial Chaos. These eight flames intertwined and swirled in the universe, like eight giant dragons coiling and dancing, their Dragon Head held high, their roars resounding throughout the cosmos. The eight flames ultimately converged at the center of the universe, forming a massive Fire Dao Eight Trigrams Formation. Each of the eight directions of the Eight Trigrams Formation corresponded to an Ancient Flame True Spirit. At the array's core, countless Fire Dao Runes flowed like a tide, evolving all the mysteries of fire since the birth of the universe. Then, the Eight Trigrams Formation abruptly contracted, transforming into a pillar of fire light piercing the universe. This pillar, billions of feet high, shot straight into the Chaos Void, dyeing the entire Chaos Void fiery red. Wherever the pillar passed, the Chaos Current was refined, transforming into pure energy to nourish the universe.

Ren Xiaoyao hovered in the center of the pillar of light, enveloped by eight Innate Realm flames. Each flame flowed within him, merging with the Primordial Chaos Dao Power, the Life and Death Qi, and the Principle Yin and Yang, forming a perfect energy cycle. He could clearly feel the origins of the eight ancient flame True Spirit resonating deeply with his own Dao Foundation. Countless Fire Dao Runes surged into his sea of consciousness like a tide, evolving into breathtaking scenes—from the first flame at the Beginning of Chaos, to the raging Flame Sect of burning stars, and then to the life fire within living beings. The essence and operating Principle of all fires were clearly presented in his mind. He seemed to see the birth of fire, where sparks in Primordial Chaos gathered into a prairie fire; he saw the growth of fire, burning all things and tempering the Principle; he saw the destruction of fire, Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation and earth and reshaping the universe; he saw the rebirth of fire, where new life was nurtured in the ashes. He felt the warmth, heat, ferocity, and inclusiveness of fire, and comprehended the true meaning of the Dao of Fire.
