Chapter 1077: Finding the Infinite Red Fire Stone

However, soon after, the World Tree’s green glow intensified, and the scorching pain in the Yellow Dragon’s body vanished. At that moment, countless giant golden lotuses appeared out of thin air. The fire at their centers flared up once again, and waves of flames surged toward the Yellow Dragon—more terrifying than before. Seeing this, the Yellow Dragon didn’t dare be careless. It activated its Hunyuan Sacred Power, sending waves of golden light into the sky to block those flames.

The flames from these golden lotuses grew stronger with each wave, shaking the heavens and earth as terrifying fire surges spread in all directions. Even the most powerful warriors from the later stages of the Twelve Eras would be reduced to bones if caught in these flames.

The Yellow Dragon raised its fist and struck fiercely. With that punch, the flames burst apart, along with the countless giant golden lotuses, which exploded high in the sky. Now, its punch carried the power of a peak warrior from the late Tai Shang realm. No matter how hard or strong the essence of the Fire Lotus Ancestral God Fire was, it couldn’t withstand the force of the Yellow Dragon’s punch.

To the Yellow Dragon’s surprise, after those countless giant golden lotuses exploded, spatial golden light flickered continuously, and they reassembled once more. “Yellow Dragon, this Fire Lotus Ancestral God Fire has now evolved into billions of true forms, merging with the Red Fire Hell. As long as the Red Fire Hell endures, it will not die. So, your attacks won’t kill it!” came the voice of the World Tree.

“Can’t kill it?!” The Yellow Dragon frowned.

So, although this Fire Lotus Ancestral God Fire hadn’t achieved Hunyuan perfection, it was not much different from a Hunyuan Saint within this Red Fire Hell. Truly a troublesome foe.

“I’ll set up a Void Barrier to isolate it from the Red Fire Hell. This way, it will lose its source of power, and then you can refine it and integrate it into your body,” said the World Tree.

“Good!” The Yellow Dragon nodded.

Immediately, countless branches of the World Tree stretched out from thin air, glowing brightly as they formed a Void Barrier, isolating the billions of giant golden lotuses from the outside world.

The Yellow Dragon took to the air. Instead of using the Chaos Bell or the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, it waved its hands, and countless sword beams descended from the void, striking the bodies of those golden lotuses.

A burst of golden light erupted in the void, with flames flying everywhere. Hit by these sword beams, those golden lotuses turned into countless golden fragments.

“Huh?!” Suddenly, the Yellow Dragon noticed that among those billions of golden lotuses, one lotus, after turning into fragments, was able to reassemble itself.

“That’s the core of the Fire Lotus Ancestral God Fire!” warned the World Tree.

“The core of the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire!” Huang Long’s eyes flashed. He understood what the World Tree meant—once he subdued this core, there would be no problem. In a flash, Huang Long arrived before the core of the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire. Sensing danger, the core suddenly swelled again, unleashing countless flames at Huang Long. Wherever these flames passed, the void collapsed as if to be burned away. Seeing this, Huang Long snorted coldly, flicked his right hand, scattering the flames, and then opened his palm to capture it. No matter how the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire struggled or how its flames surged, it was of no use. A glow appeared in Huang Long’s hand, and streams of sacred fire emerged, dissolving the flame energy on the surface of the core and neutralizing it one by one. Eventually, the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire shrank continuously, its resistance completely overcome by Huang Long. Once he had fully subdued it, without hesitation, Huang Long sat in mid-air, practicing the Heavenly Dao Void Art, and absorbed the core into his body. As the core was absorbed, the original true form of the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire, which had been shattered earlier, was also swallowed up by Huang Long like a whale devouring water. After absorbing both the core and the true form, intense heat surged throughout Huang Long’s body. Seeing the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire struggling, Huang Long paid no attention. If he hadn’t achieved sanctity and formed the Hunyuan Sacred Body, he might still have feared this fire to some extent. Now, no matter how it struggled, it could no longer cause any trouble. As Huang Long continued practicing the Heavenly Dao Void Art, the core and true form of the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire were gradually refined by him, transforming into the purest innate fire energy in the world and merging into his Sacred Body. With each integration, his Sacred Body grew stronger. At the same time, Huang Long felt a gradual change in the sacred fire within him. Though subtle, he could sense that both his Sacred Body and the sacred fire were continuously strengthening. Time passed. Tens of thousands of years went by. Although he was in the Crimson Fire Hell, the void barrier created by the World Tree meant Huang Long didn’t worry about external innate abnormal flames taking advantage of the situation. Yet, he hadn’t expected that even after tens of thousands of years, he still couldn’t fully refine the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire. The power of its countless true forms had merged with Huang Long’s own body, but its core, like an indestructible insect, continued to resist him. However, Huang Long wasn’t in a hurry.

Within this void barrier, even hundreds of thousands of years would pass as just a few days outside. Hundreds of thousands of years went by. Finally, the core of the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire was also refined by the Yellow Dragon and completely merged into its body. “I’ve finally fully refined this Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire,” said the Yellow Dragon as it opened its eyes and scanned its body to sense the changes, feeling overjoyed. The Chaos Sage could control the powers of heaven and earth, but now, after refining this Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire, the Yellow Dragon felt that it was the true master of the Crimson Fire Inferno. All the innate abnormal flames in the Crimson Fire Inferno seemed like its true subjects. The Yellow Dragon dismissed the void barrier and stepped out. The innate abnormal flames in the Crimson Fire Inferno not only failed to attack it but also retreated far away. What surprised the Yellow Dragon the most was that after fully refining the Fire Lotus Ancestral Divine Fire, its perception had expanded countless times. Previously, due to the restrictions in the Crimson Fire Inferno, its divine sense could only reach hundreds of millions of miles, but now everything within the Crimson Fire Inferno seemed to be within its reach. This was naturally a huge advantage for the Yellow Dragon in searching for the Crimson Fire Quantitative Stone. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the Yellow Dragon found the Crimson Fire Quantitative Stone in an underground cave within the Crimson Fire Inferno! Looking at the stone, which emitted rings of flame light in its hands, the Yellow Dragon couldn’t contain its excitement. Ascending to the supreme grade! With the Crimson Fire Quantitative Stone found, its body would finally ascend to the supreme grade! Once it reached the supreme grade, the Yellow Dragon would have the strength to confront experts at the Harmonization Realm. Moreover, after its body reached the supreme grade, the supreme-grade great path artifacts collected from the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron would surely be elevated to the pinnacle of supreme-grade great path artifacts!
