The fire seed grew ever more resplendent. The patterns within it shone with astonishing light as the laws of fire were being inscribed, recorded, and written into the fire seed.
The earthfire was close to taking shape, faster than Li Su had expected.

Once it was complete, the power of the flames he wielded would rise enormously, carrying the same destructive force as the blazing heat here.
