A Great Fortune

Lin Ming's laughter, brimming with boundless joy and pride, echoed and surged like rolling thunder in this deathly silent Purple-Black Flame, lasting for a very long time before slowly receding like the tide, finally returning to calm.

However, though the laughter ceased, the burning light in his eyes grew even brighter, like two burning stars reflecting the two distinct yet equally powerful flames in his palms.

In his left hand, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame pulsed with a bewitching allure, its four Heavenly Flames characteristics perfectly fused together, radiating an aura of destruction capable of incinerating all things; in his right hand, the Three Thousand Burning Flame were deep and serene, their purplish-black flames seemingly containing a miniature starry sky, eternally indestructible, carrying the vastness and majesty of having absorbed the Star Power.

His gaze shifted between these two most violent yet now docile and submissive forces in the world, and Lin Ming's mind was as clear as a mirror.

Because refining the Three Thousand Burning Flame is not the end; on the contrary, it is only the beginning of a more magnificent chapter! Next, he will completely fuse this newly born Three Thousand Burning Flame with the original Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame to create a brand-new, unprecedented, unique, and even more powerful Heavenly Flames!

Thinking of this, even with Lin Ming's composure, his breathing became slightly rapid.

Lin Ming had already clearly foreseen how astonishing the composition of this new Heavenly Flames that was about to be born would be.

It will be based on the Mysterious Yellow Flame, which ranks Twenty-third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and will be fused with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which ranks twenty-second and contains the essence of myriad beasts. It will also absorb the Sea Heart Flame, which ranks fifteenth and is as deep as the sea, and the Fallen Heart Flame, which ranks fourteenth and can ignite the Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame. Finally, it will be fused with the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which has just been completely subdued, ranks as high as ninth, and has the Star Power!

Five Heavenly Flames, spanning from the bottom to the top of the list, each with unique attributes and countless characteristics, were forcibly fused into one in his hands! The power of the final product was enough to make one's heart surge with excitement and be unable to contain oneself just by imagining it!

Lin Ming was absolutely confident that once the fusion was successful, the power of this new Heavenly Flames would be unmatched by any other Heavenly Flames on the list, except for the mysterious and unpredictable Nihility Devouring Flame, which ranked second, and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which ranked third and Purified all things! It would truly stand at the pinnacle of the Fire Passage on the continent!

Even Lin Ming couldn't help but smile at the thought of that scene, a low laugh escaping his throat. It was the anticipation of reaching the pinnacle of power, the joy of taking control of his own destiny.

However, just as he was about to begin this exciting fusion ceremony, his gaze inadvertently swept over the boundless, still raging Sea of Fire of purplish-black fire around him, and his brows furrowed suddenly, as if he had remembered something extremely important.

"Wait... these flames..."

Lin Ming muttered to himself, a flash of realization and shrewdness crossing his eyes.

"These are the purest flame energies formed from the massive dragon body that the Three Thousand Burning Flame accumulated over countless years! Although they have lost the coordination of the original consciousness and become violent and disordered, their essence is still a part of the power of the Three Thousand Burning Flame!"

A clear thought flashed through his mind like lightning, "Now that I have completely refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame and control its origin, wouldn't these flames that permeate the Star Domain and have no owner... in a sense, also become my private property?"

Once this idea took hold, it spread like wildfire and became unstoppable!

If one can absorb all the vast fiery energy that fills the entire Star Domain, not only will the power of the newly refined Three Thousand Burning Flame surge to an unimaginable level, and its foundation become even deeper, but even the new Heavenly Flames born from the fusion below will have a starting point and potential that far exceed the original expectations! The stronger the foundation, the higher and farther one can go in the future!

Moreover, the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> he cultivates is incredibly profound. Each time he unlocks a deeper level, he needs a massive amount of energy to nourish and support him. If he can take this opportunity to absorb the energy of this entire Star Domain, it will undoubtedly be an incredibly powerful boost to his subsequent breakthroughs in Cultivation Method!

This is an incredible opportunity, the last generous gift left behind by the Three Thousand Burning Flame. How can we let it slip by and allow it to burn and dissipate pointlessly in this closed Star Domain?

"So..."

Lin Ming's eyes gleamed with the excitement of discovering a priceless Treasure Hoard, and a smile with a hint of greed curled at the corners of his lips.

"Hehehe... Since that's the case, then I won't hold back!"

Once the mind is made up, there is no more hesitation!

Lin Ming took a deep breath. Although he was still inhaling scorching flame energy, the newly formed Three Thousand Burning Flame Origin within his body First Revolution slightly and easily assimilated the energy.

He slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, the profound source of the Three Thousand Burning Flame seemed to sense its master's will, trembled violently, and then burst forth with a suction force a hundred times stronger than before!

"Buzz--!"

An invisible wave, centered on Lin Ming's right hand, spread out suddenly like a boulder thrown into a calm lake! At first, it was just ripples, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a terrifying energy storm that swept across the entire Star Domain!

The purplish-black flame in his right palm, which had been quiet, now seemed to have transformed into the core of a miniature Black Hole. Its light was extremely restrained, yet it exuded a terrifying devouring power like a whale swallowing the four seas!

The next moment, a breathtaking scene unfolded:

The surrounding purplish-black Sea of Fire, which had been flowing slowly like solidified magma, seemed to be violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand!

The flames closest to Lin Ming were the first to be drawn in. They no longer burned aimlessly, but instead, like Hundred Rivers Return to Sea, they transformed into thick, purplish-black pillars of fire, roaring and rushing madly toward Lin Ming's right palm!

The pillar of fire struck the Origin Flame in the palm of the hand, but instead of exploding, it was swallowed and absorbed by the deep "Black Hole" in an instant, like a clay ox sinking into the sea!

That Origin Flame, like an abyss that can never be filled, accepts all who come, frantically absorbing the pure flame energy of the same origin and quality.

This was just the beginning! As Lin Ming pushed it to its full potential, the range and speed of the devouring began to increase exponentially!

The distant Sea of Fire was ignited, surging in like a tsunami; the flames at the edge of the horizon seemed to hear the king's call, Space-Tearing, crossing the void, forming torrents of fire that traversed the Star Domain, their target Lin Ming!

The entire Star Domain seemed to come alive! However, this "life" was a tragic and grand one, like the end of an era and the return of all things to their source.

Countless Purple-Black Flame were forcibly extracted and stripped from every corner of the Star Domain, transforming into billions of flame streams, rivers, and even oceans of varying sizes. Ultimately, they converged into a colossal, indescribably massive Purple-Black Flame vortex that stretched across the heavens and earth! Lin Ming, and the cluster of flames in his palm, were the sole core and endpoint of this enormous vortex of destruction and rebirth!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The violent flow of energy caused the space to groan and tremble, and a terrifying howl filled our ears.

Lin Ming hovered in the center of the vortex, his figure appearing incredibly small compared to the vast torrent of energy, yet his aura was like Pillar of the Sea, steady and immense.

He could clearly feel streams of pure, boundless flame energy surging into his body through the Origin Flame in his right hand, like a bursting dam of a galaxy.

After these energies entered the body, they did not run rampant. Instead, under the guidance of the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> and the sorting effect of the Five Elements Roulette, they were quickly purified and refined, eliminating the violent impurities caused by the out-of-control outburst, leaving only the most primordial essence of Star Fire.

Subsequently, these essences flowed like Hundred Rivers Return to Sea, some merging into his limbs and bones, subtly strengthening his "Star Immortal Body" and bringing his physical body closer to true immortality; while the majority, like a pilgrimage, flowed into the newly born Three Thousand Burning Flame Origin in his dantian.

Within his dantian, the wisp of purplish-black flame was becoming increasingly solid and powerful at a visible speed! Its color grew deeper and deeper, as if it contained the darkness of the entire starry sky; the starlight flickering at the center of the flame was also becoming brighter and denser, as if a galaxy was truly being conceived and born within it!

The aura it exuded steadily increased, becoming more and more terrifying, approaching its peak, and perhaps even surpassing it!

This is a process of plunder and strengthening, a domineering act of using the remaining energy of the entire Star Domain as nourishment to cultivate one's own foundation!

Lin Ming closed his eyes tightly, focusing all his energy on circulating his Cultivation Method, guiding this unprecedented influx of energy. His body seemed to have transformed into a bottomless pit, greedily and efficiently devouring the last "legacy" of this forbidden death Forbidden Area.

Within the Star Domain, the purplish-black Sea of Fire, centered on Lin Ming, began to visibly thin and dim. The destructive heat was also slowly decreasing. In its place, a terrifying and increasingly chilling fluctuation arose within Lin Ming's body, as if an ancient fire god was about to awaken from its slumber!

Just as Lin Ming was frantically absorbing the vast purplish-black Sea of Fire within the Star Domain, like a whale swallowing its prey, this unimaginably violent energy fluctuation originating from the core of the Star Domain could not ultimately be completely isolated by the layers of Spatial Seal.

Beyond the Star Domain, at the top of the Pill Tower, the halo seal, shimmering with complex runes, jointly laid down by the three giants Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi, was now trembling violently at an unprecedented frequency! The originally stable flow of rune light became flickering, as if it were being subjected to the frenzied impact and pull of some terrifying internal force.

Realistic spatial ripples spread out from the center of the seal, causing the sky above the entire Pill Tower to distort slightly and emit a low hum.

Xuan Kongzi, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, constantly maintaining and monitoring the seal, suddenly opened Xuan Kongzi tightly closed eyes, his eyes flashing with a light of surprise and uncertainty.

He abruptly stood up, his gaze fixed on the fluctuating seal, and said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong! The energy inside is decreasing at an alarming rate!"

Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi, who were standing nearby, also flashed over instantly, their expressions solemn as they sensed the abnormal fluctuations transmitted through the seal.

"This method of decay... is not a natural dissipation, but more like being forcibly devoured and absorbed by some entity!"

Lei Zi sensed it for a moment, his tone filled with disbelief and shock.

"Could it be... that kid Lin Ming?! Is he absorbing the residual flame energy after the Three Thousand Burning Flame erupted?"

"How is this possible?!"

Xuan Yi gasped softly, her gentle face filled with horror.

"The energy contained in that Sea of Fire is so violent and vast that even if we were caught in it, we would have to do everything in our power to resist it, and we would be burned to ashes if we were not careful! How could a mere Dou Zong withstand it, or absorb it?!"

Xuan Kongzi frowned, his aged face filled with solemnity and confusion. He slowly shook his head, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Though it's hard to believe... the energy flow within the seal does indeed point to a core... the core of a living being! Apart from him, there are no other living beings in the Star Domain. However... the speed and scale of this devouring are simply unheard of! What secrets is this child still hiding?"

The three top experts from the continent exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing a deep shock and a hint of confusion in the other's eyes. They realized that they had never truly seen through the young man who had won the Pill Gathering Champion.

The changes taking place within the Star Domain were beyond their usual understanding. An indescribable feeling welled up in their hearts.

Perhaps what they perceived as a Deadly Land end was not a dead end for the young man inside, but rather... an incredible stroke of luck!
