Fang Yang stood still, completely immersed in the profound enlightenment of the Origin of Creation, as if he had merged with this world.
His Aura continuously surged like a tide, and golden halos spread out from him like ripples in the Void Realm.
The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire Fire Square as if it were the eternally burning Endless Fire Territory.
A heart-palpitating heat permeated the air, and even space itself subtly warped under the high temperature.
"Not enough, still a little short..."
The ethereal voice of the Artifact Spirit sounded in the Void Realm, carrying a hint of solemnity.
The next moment, all twenty-three towering pillars standing on the entire Fire Square simultaneously emitted a low hum.
The ancient runes carved on the pillars lit up in sequence.
The various flames burning on them swayed gently without wind, tilting slightly towards Fang Yang's direction, as if ten thousand fires were bowing to their Dominator.
"Besides the Emperor Flame, leave two more."
Five strange fires of different forms appeared in response, slowly rotating around Fang Yang, illuminating him as if he were an supreme Dominator born from flames.
Each strange fire radiated a heart-palpitating power.
"Fourth on the strange fire ranking list, Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame."
Its entire body flowed with a brilliant golden luster, like liquid gold dancing in the air.
This strange fire was already renowned in ancient times, and few could subdue it.
Its most terrifying aspect was its ability to burn even Qi.
Ancient texts recorded that when its first owner used this fire, he once incinerated a space created by a Dou Sheng expert into nothingness, its power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Fifth on the strange fire ranking list, Living Spirit Flame."
The liquid-like green flame surged against the wind, and as the green liquid fire sea spread, layers of mist rose.
Amidst the rising mist, countless strange medicinal materials slowly grew, emitting a moving Aura of life.
It is said that if this strange fire spreads, as long as the seeds of medicinal materials are thrown into it, those seeds will quickly sprout and grow.
This means that with this strange fire, there is basically no need to consider searching for medicinal materials; as long as you have enough seeds, you can continuously obtain the desired medicinal materials, which is incredibly miraculous.
Moreover, this Living Spirit Flame is also known as the Longevity Flame; those who obtain it have a lifespan comparable to even those Demonic Beasts famous for their longevity.
The only drawback, however, is that this flame is not proficient in combat, and its boost to combat power is limited.
If this Living Spirit Flame takes shape, its intelligence is quite high.
Normally, it does not appear in the form of fire, but rather transforms into various medicinal materials, quietly rooting itself in the soil.
Sometimes, even walking past it would not allow one to recognize it.
Only those with great Opportunity can luckily find it from the ground.
"Sixth on the strange fire ranking list, Eight Desolations Destroying Flame."
As soon as the pale black flame appeared, it emitted a heart-palpitating domineering Aura.
As the flames churned, they transformed into a pair of black flame wings, a hundred zhang in size, each feather condensed from pure flame.
When its wings spread, it seemed capable of devouring everything, and even space trembled slightly under its pressure.
"Seventh on the strange fire ranking list, Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire."
It presented an dark golden flame, with molten gold seemingly flowing slowly at its core.
The high temperature it emitted caused the surrounding space to warp like water waves.
The terrifying energy contained within it, once unleashed, was enough to completely engulf a powerful enemy in an instant, leaving no ashes behind.
"Eighth on the strange fire ranking list, Red Lotus Karma Fire."
It presented a seductive deep red, and as the flames surged, they naturally condensed into shapes of red lotuses, each petal exquisitely delicate yet harboring killing intent.
The most terrifying aspect of this fire was its ability to directly burn the Soul.
It would cause the afflicted to suffer unbearably, ultimately losing combat power in endless pain, making it an extremely strange and difficult-to-guard-against strange fire.
The five strange fires floated in the Void Realm, emitting distinctly different Auras, making Fang Yang appear as the Dominator who controlled all fires.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
The Black Flame seemed to sense something, and a slight fluctuation emanated from within Fang Yang's body.
Immediately after, a small, all-black cat lightly leaped out.
Its vertical pupils, burning with eerie flames, curiously examined the strange fires, and its small ears twitched occasionally.
"Roar—"
Little Black let out a roar completely unsuited to its delicate body, its voice carrying ancient majesty.
The next moment, a terrifying Aura burst forth.
Within a few breaths, its miniature body expanded at a visible rate, transforming into a giant beast tens of zhang in size in the blink of an eye.
Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, gleaming with a metallic luster under the firelight.
Its eyes seemed to burn with substantial flames, and within its opening and closing beast mouth, black light faintly appeared, as if it could devour all things.
An astonishing Aura and majesty emanated from its body; it was clearly a Vicious Beast from ancient times.
"This is... a strange fire beast born primarily from the Bloodline of ten thousand beasts?"
The Artifact Spirit's voice carried a hint of surprise.
Little Black opened its huge mouth, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.
The five strange fires were unable to resist this force, transforming into five streaks of light and disappearing into its mouth.
As the strange fires entered its body, Little Black's beast body trembled violently, and colorful light burst forth from between the scales on its body.
It let out a low growl, seemingly enduring immense pain, but its burning vertical pupils flickered with excitement.
A moment later, the light gradually faded, and Little Black's body rapidly shrank, once again transforming into that inconspicuous black kitten.
It lightly leaped back onto Fang Yang's shoulder, intimately rubbed against his cheek, and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into Fang Yang's body.
The Void Black Flame, formed by the Fusion of eleven strange fires, at this moment successfully devoured the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, Living Spirit Flame, Eight Desolations Destroying Flame, Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire, and Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Fang Yang's Aura at this moment erupted, reaching an unprecedented peak.
The red halo solidified, and his entire being seemed to transform into an eternally burning scorching sun, illuminating the entire Fire Square.
He slowly opened his eyes, and within them, thousands of flames seemed to flow, deep like a sea of stars.
His Soul power naturally broke through the Bottleneck, reaching the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm!
And the Qi within his body was like a vast ocean, flowing endlessly, breaking through barriers!
Fang Yang had finally stepped into the Dou Sheng realm!
"Finally... it's done."
He muttered softly, feeling the surging power within him.
Slowly raising his palm, a wisp of black flame danced on his fingertip; the flame appeared calm but contained terrifying power capable of burning the sky and destroying the earth.
"Congratulations, you have reached Dou Sheng."
The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of relief.
