Ren's Emperor Flame had been formed from all the Heavenly Flames in Battle Through the Heavens, so it possessed each of their traits. Its greatest trait, though, was Devouring. The Heavenly Flames in Battle Through the Heavens grew by devouring one another, so every one of them had that ability. What was more, the Emperor Flame had been formed using Ruthless's old body. Ruthless was well versed in the Devouring Way, which had perfected the flame's ability to devour and even given it a faint trace of Sentience.
Devouring was the Emperor Flame's greatest strength.
Now that it had seen the Small World formed by the Heaven-Earth Flame, it showed a clear desire to devour it.
Ren had no objection. Smiling, he brought out the Emperor Flame and let it envelop the flowers before him.
With Ren's permission, the blazing Emperor Flame sprang to life and wrapped itself around them.
The flowers seemed to possess Sentience of their own and tried to resist.
But moments later, the Emperor Flame had devoured them all. Just as it prepared to press its advantage and consume the distant forest, a hum rang through the entire Small World.
The distant forest burst into flame, and the fire gathered into a Divine Dragon, as if challenging the Emperor Flame.
The Heaven-Earth Flame was, after all, one of the ten greatest flames in the Primordial World. It had no intention of being devoured.
As the Heaven-Earth Flame stirred, Ren prepared to withdraw the Emperor Flame. They were inside the Heaven-Earth Cauldron, on someone else's territory.
Just then, Green Vine's cry rang out from the distant Wooden House. "Ah..."
The cry boomed like thunder. The entire Heaven-Earth Small World trembled, filled with jubilation and a joyous melody.
Ren turned toward Yang Chan's delighted voice. "She's given birth!
