Without any preparation, attempting to devour and fuse a second Heavenly Flame was something no ordinary human could withstand. Within just seconds, pain twisted across Xun'er's delicate features, her body trembling violently.
Goku no longer had the leisure to admire her exposed beauty. Without hesitation, he pressed a strand of divine power into her body. In an instant, it spread through her meridians, isolating the violent heat. No matter how ferociously the Green Lotus Core Flame struggled, it could not harm Xun'er in the slightest.
The agony vanished, leaving her with a sigh of relief. Within her body, that mysterious divine radiance held the raging Heavenly Flame at bay as if it were nothing. The terrifying blaze that had brought others despair was reduced to harmless embers before his hand.
Her confidence soared. With Goku by her side, refining even the world's most fearsome Heavenly Flames seemed almost effortless. Golden flames erupted from her body, weaving into a blazing net that wrapped tightly around the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Inside her meridians, the captured flame thrashed like a caged beast, unleashing waves of searing heat. But with Goku's divine shield protecting her, Xun'er remained calm, her eyes steady.
The Green Lotus Core Flame was ranked nineteenth. Against the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame—ranked fourth—it had no chance. Under Xun'er's unrestrained assault, its resistance quickly weakened. The golden fire swirled together into a blazing sphere, trapping the struggling lotus flame inside like prey upon the chopping block.
Guided by her will, the flame was drawn into her meridians and slowly rotated along the Flame Mantra's path. Compared to her first time refining the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, this was almost easy. Back then, she had endured torment that nearly broke her spirit. Now, thanks to Goku's aid, the process was as natural as breathing.
When the Green Lotus Core Flame was finally subdued, a radiant smile blossomed on her flawless face.
"Now… it's time to fuse it with the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame!" she whispered in anticipation.
The thought made her heart race. After absorbing her first flame, the Flame Mantra had evolved to the low Xuan Rank. If she succeeded in merging two flames, how much further would her technique ascend?
But she also knew—failure meant certain death.
Even so, with him beside her, fear had no place.
The azure lotus flame obediently circled through her channels like a tamed beast before sinking into her qi vortex. At once, torrents of golden fire surged forth from her Spirit Seal, clashing against the lotus flame.
Two Heavenly Flames. Both devastating by nature. When they collided, it was never peace—only annihilation. Either one would devour the other, or be consumed in turn.
Even restrained by her will, both blazes thrashed wildly. The vortex trembled as heat surged like a volcanic eruption. Xun'er bit her lip, straining to maintain control. Without the Flame Mantra, it would have been suicide.
No wonder alchemists are said to manage only one Heavenly Flame. Their rejection is this fierce…
But before she could despair, an overwhelming presence descended into her body. The two flames froze instantly, shivering in terror.
"Fuse them."
Goku's voice echoed in her mind, calm yet absolute.
Awed, Xun'er wasted no time. Channeling the Flame Mantra, she guided the quivering flames together.
Under the shadow of his divine intent, neither dared resist. Slowly, impossibly, they merged into one.
As gold and azure light entwined, a soft radiance spread through her body. When the glow faded, both colors were gone—leaving behind a single, newly-born flame.
It burned with a profound orange hue, crystal-clear, like molten jewels. Its very presence pulsed with intelligence, as though alive.
Xun'er's heart trembled with awe. "This… is my new flame?"
"Not yet." Goku's voice cut in. "You still have more to fuse."
Before she could respond, eight more Heavenly Flames surged into her body—Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Bone Chilling Flame, and others. All at once.
Her eyes widened. "You—you're not saying I should fuse all of them at once!?"
Goku smiled faintly. "With me here? It's nothing."
His divine will pressed down, and even those rebellious flames shuddered in submission. His single command—
"Fuse."
—was like the decree of a king.
The flames obeyed.
Orange, crimson, blue, white, black… colors clashed and intertwined within her body. Energy surged like a storm, swelling her meridians to the brink of tearing. Pain lanced through her, drawing a pale cry from her lips. Yet the divine shield held. She would not break.
Nine flames warred savagely at the brink of fusion, each trying to dominate. But Goku's will surged with fury, binding them together by sheer force. Explosions of heat rocked her body, but all was caged by his power.
Finally—finally—they united.
A single flame, small as a clenched fist, floated within her core. Transparent, crystalline, and alive. It pulsed with terrifying energy, its very aura radiating wisdom. A new Heavenly Flame had been born.
Goku smiled. "Refine it. Let's see how far your Flame Mantra evolves."
Xun'er's lips trembled with excitement. "Yes!"
She carefully guided the flame into her Spirit Seal. For a heartbeat, everything seemed perfect.
Then—her body shuddered violently. From deep within the seal, a strange, intoxicating fire erupted, spreading through her veins.
Her porcelain skin flushed crimson, her body burning with unnatural heat. Her bright eyes clouded with sultry haze.
The backlash…!
Before she could stop herself, her soft body writhed like a snake, pressing against Goku. Her lips, trembling and red, seized his in a desperate kiss.
Caught off guard, Goku blinked.
'So this is the side effect of flame fusion… no wonder in the original timeline, Xiao Yan…'
But Xun'er had fused ten flames, not two. The backlash was far worse.
Her hands moved wildly, tearing at his clothes. Her fiery body crashed against his, driving him to the ground.
And though he could have resisted, Goku only chuckled softly.
'She's already mine. Why hold back?'
Thus, behind closed doors, a night of fire began—one that left the entire courtyard of women stunned into silence.
