Law of Fire, Red Lotus Domain

Yan felt as if thunder had exploded within his sea of consciousness.

An indescribably ancient, vast, and incomparably domineering phantom of will flashed out from the Dark Gold Origin.

Though it lasted only an instant, it seemed to leave an indelible imprint upon his soul, resonating mysteriously with the surging energy of the Infernal Delicate Apricot within his body.

At that moment, Yan experienced a sudden flash of insight.

He no longer passively endured it. Instead, he actively guided the vast crimson-gold fire energy within him, using the Yan God Body Refining Technique and the newly stirred trace of the Flame Emperor Will Imprint as guides.

Feeling the rhythm of the flames within his body, Yan felt as though his consciousness was rising higher. A profound and mysterious tremor stirred in his heart. He seemed to sense something, yet it remained indistinct.

In his daze, he seemed to perceive a realm covered by endless fire.

The Flame Emperor Origin stirred, and a stream of information flowed through his heart. He sensed the aura of the origin flame.

Under the dual power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Ultimate Fire, the Flame Emperor Origin actually carried Yan's consciousness to the place where Douluo Continent's Origin Law of Fire resided!

The Flame Overlord Martial Soul automatically possessed him at that moment, and four Soul Rings—two purple and two black—appeared above Yan's head.

His fourth Soul Ring flashed continuously as the Molten Domain soul skill activated on its own for no apparent reason. Yet it did not spread outward, instead transforming into a mass of flame that enveloped Yan.

The original Molten Domain merely used Soul Power and the characteristics of fire to crudely create an environment of extreme heat, one that repelled other elements and enhanced his own flames.

Its range was fixed, and its form rigid.

But at that moment, beneath the combined effects of the Infernal Delicate Apricot's ultimate fire origin, that wisp of Flame Emperor Will fragment, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a place where the laws of this wondrous heaven-and-earth phenomenon resonated—

The Molten Domain began an unbelievable transformation.

The crimson-gold flames no longer simply spread outward to form a domain. Instead, they began to merge more deeply with his Soul Power, blood and vitality, and spiritual will.

They even resonated with the trace of the Law of Fire he had just comprehended from the realm of Douluo Continent's Law of Fire.

A strange hum arose from within Yan's body.

Centered on him, the crimson-gold radiance abruptly contracted inward rather than spreading outward.

Immediately afterward, a lifelike crimson-gold fire lotus bloomed from thin air beneath him.

The lotus had nine petals, each flowing with crimson-gold flame patterns, while Yan sat cross-legged at its center.

The lotus slowly rotated, releasing a strange aura that was pure and domineering, as though it could burn away every impurity in the world, yet also contained endless vitality and creation.

This fire lotus was neither a soul skill nor a law.

It was the embryonic form of a Flame Domain uniquely his own, formed through his initial comprehension and the fusion of everything he possessed, with Ultimate Fire as its core, the Flame Emperor Will as its guide, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as its furnace.

Yan named it the Red Lotus Domain.

At the same time, a stream of mysterious information surfaced in his mind.

It allowed him to understand that this domain could change according to his will.

When still, it could become a protective red lotus as it was now, clinging close to his body. Its defense was unparalleled, impervious to all evil, and it could accelerate the absorption and refinement of fire-attributed energy while nurturing his body.

When unleashed, it could explosively expand into the Red Lotus Purifying World Domain, covering a hundred meters.

Within the domain, crimson-gold flames transformed into flowing lotus phantoms. Their temperature reached the extreme; they could not only burn matter, but scorch souls and purify all negative energy.

It also exerted an extremely powerful suppressive and repulsive effect against Soul Power and domains of other attributes.

Enemies within it would be as though trapped in an infernal sea of fire, enduring the agony of burning flesh and scorched souls at every moment. Their Soul Power would circulate sluggishly, and their strength would be greatly diminished.

Yan himself, however, would be like a fish in water within the domain. The power of his flames would surge, his Soul Power recovery speed would become astonishing, and he could faintly wield the power of the Law of Fire within the domain to unleash terrifying attacks surpassing the soul skill itself.

Because the Red Lotus Purifying World Domain had fused with a trace of the Flame Emperor's domineering will, it also possessed a terrifying quality of supreme self-sovereignty and incinerating all laws. Its pressure upon the mind was particularly dreadful.

Its potential far surpassed the domains of ordinary Title Douluo. From the outset, it was already close to the level of a top-tier domain.

"Whew..."

No one knew how much time had passed before the surging energy within the Yang Spring gradually calmed.

Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Crimson-gold flames flowed slowly within them. Deep in his pupils, two miniature red lotuses seemed to rise and fall. Beneath that calmness lay terrifying power capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

With a thought, the crimson-gold fire lotus beneath him silently vanished, and the scorching heat and radiance around his body completely receded. His bronze-colored skin returned, though faint crimson-gold hues flowed beneath it, making him appear even more extraordinary.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands.

He gently clenched his fists, feeling the powerful force coursing through his body.

With the slightest circulation of Soul Power, crimson-gold flames naturally surged up. Their temperature was so high that a large patch of Yang Spring water instantly vaporized.

The flames had a thick, liquid-like texture and radiated an aura of purification and destruction that made souls tremble.

Ultimate Fire—achieved!

Moreover, it was Ultimate Fire infused with a trace of the Flame Emperor Origin's traits, possessing limitless potential. These flames seemed capable of advancing even further.

As Yan's comprehension of the Origin Law of Fire continued to deepen, the flames' power would receive further enhancement.

The form of the Flame Overlord Martial Soul had also undergone an earth-shaking transformation. It was no longer as crude as its original lava giant form.

The Flame Overlord Martial Soul had advanced further, its form approaching a perfect humanoid shape. Its quality had already stepped over the threshold of a Super Martial Soul!

The current Flame Overlord Martial Soul might still be slightly inferior to divine-grade Martial Souls such as the Six-Winged Angel.

Yet it was in no way weaker than the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul possessed by Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship of the Worship Hall.

In fact, in terms of ultimate attributes, Yan's Flame Overlord Martial Soul even surpassed the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul.

His Soul Power had also risen by five levels, from level forty-four to level forty-nine.

Furthermore, Yan felt that for some time afterward, his Soul Power cultivation would enter a period of rapid growth due to the remaining medicinal potency of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Perhaps within the next month, he could break through level fifty, attempt to hunt a Soul Ring, and advance to Soul King.

Moreover, during the process of consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Yan had further fused with the remaining origin of the Flame Emperor within his body. Not only had his own foundation become deeper, but he had also comprehended a trace of the Law of Fire.

On the foundation of the Molten Domain, he had further comprehended his own unique Flame Domain: the Red Lotus Purifying World Domain.

This domain combined offense and defense, with limitless potential.

Furthermore, because he cultivated the Devouring Method, his Flame Domain would continue to improve according to the depth of his comprehension of the Law of Fire.

At present, Yan's domain was only at the first level. As it continuously advanced to the ninth level, it would eventually gain the recognition of the Law of Fire, allowing him to completely comprehend the Law of Fire.
