524: Chapter 524 Nirvana Sacred Flame

After leaving the Fairy Trace Forest, Chen Yi and Emilia headed north.

After flying for about half a day, a fire-red forest appeared ahead.

That was the Phoenix Perch Forest.

The trees here were all fire-red, with thick trunks and umbrella-like canopies; every leaf looked like a burning flame.

The air was filled with a scorching aura, and every breath felt like inhaling and exhaling flames.

"The habitat of the Phoenix clan."

Chen Yi looked at the map, "It should be right ahead!"

Emilia sighed, "I always feel like I'm just a burden..."

The two continued forward.

The deeper they went, the higher the temperature rose.

The two didn't mind; after all, they were both deities, and this level of temperature meant nothing to them.

After walking for about an hour, an open space suddenly appeared ahead.

In the center of the clearing was a giant parasol tree.

The parasol tree towered into the clouds, its trunk so thick that dozens of people couldn't wrap their arms around it.

Many Phoenixes were perched on the tree, each with different colors, their vibrant hues dyeing the entire sky in seven colors.

"So beautiful!"

Emilia couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chen Yi nodded in agreement; it was indeed beautiful!

Every single one of those Phoenixes was so beautiful that one couldn't look away.

Just as the two were admiring the scenery, an exceptionally large Phoenix flew down from the parasol tree.

It landed in front of them and transformed into a woman wearing a seven-colored feather garment.

The woman looked to be in her early thirties, with stunning features and a noble temperament, bearing an eighty percent resemblance to the Valkyrie he had seen in the Secret Realm?

It felt like they were carved from the same mold!

"Who are you?"

Chen Yi stepped forward and bowed, "I am Chen Yi, and this is my companion, Emilia!"

The woman looked at him, silent for a few seconds.

"What is your business?"

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief; she seemed to be the type one could communicate with.

So he followed the same method he used to obtain the power Origin from the fairies, saying, "I would like some of the power Origin of your Seven-Colored Phoenix clan, is that possible?"

Hearing this, the woman raised an eyebrow slightly.

She didn't seem to expect Chen Yi to propose such a thing.

"Power Origin? Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, follow me!"

The woman turned around, "This thing is equivalent to my life. Since you want it, you must pay the corresponding price!"

Chen Yi and Emilia exchanged glances, a bit confused.

But they followed her nonetheless.

The woman led them to the base of the parasol tree.

There, there was a huge altar.

On the altar, seven-colored flames were burning.

Seeing that Chen Yi and his companion had followed, the woman began to introduce it.

"This is the Nirvana Sacred Fire of my clan!"

"It is the source of our clan's power and the symbol of our clan's spirit!"

"However, to keep it burning, it requires creatures with spiritual power as fuel!"

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"You—"

Emilia was so angry she nearly exploded.

Wasn't she obviously trying to use them as firewood?

After her Breakthrough to Tier 15 and becoming a deity, she had a very clear understanding of the power of these Spirit Beast lives.

The woman before them was at most around the Fourteenth Tier, Tenth Stage; she wasn't even her opponent, let alone Chen Yi's.

If Chen Yi wanted to, he could probably just snatch it directly!

And yet, she actually wanted to burn them?

Did she really think they had good tempers?

However, Chen Yi held Emilia back and smiled, "Your Excellency, could you explain that in detail? I don't quite understand!"

The woman snorted coldly and pointed her chin at the Nirvana Sacred Fire, "Since you don't understand, I'll tell you! As long as you can walk in there and stay for a minute, I will give you my power Origin!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi just rubbed his chin.

He seemed to be hesitating.

Seeing this, the woman said with a mocking smile, "What? Scared?"

Chen Yi was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he smiled.

"What is there to be scared of?"

He stepped forward and walked toward the Sacred Fire.

"Chen Yi, wait! This fire—"

Emilia wanted to grab him, but saw him just wave his hand, "Don't worry! I wouldn't bear to make you a widow!"

After saying that, he stepped into the Sacred Fire in one stride!

The scorching aura instantly enveloped him!

The temperature was much higher than he had imagined!

But just then, a surge of power welled up within him!

Chu Feiyu's ultimate skill—Life Ripple!

That power resonated with the Phoenix Origin in the Sacred Fire, forming a seven-colored protective shield on his body!

The flames no longer burned him!

Instead, they began to nourish him!

He could feel the power in the Sacred Fire gradually merging into his body bit by bit!

His 2D attribute values were climbing crazily at a rate of a few points per second!

It was as if this Sacred Fire was an energy supply tailor-made for Chen Yi!

"You—what are you doing?"

The woman was shocked and hurriedly shouted.

However, she discovered that she couldn't even get close to the Sacred Fire anymore.

This Nirvana Sacred Fire seemed to be controlled by the man in front of her; it no longer obeyed her commands at all!

Chen Yi smiled and said slowly, "Didn't you say to let me stay for a minute? It's only been a dozen seconds; if it's not a full minute and you go back on your word and don't give me the power Origin, what then?"

"This is an order, get out!"

"Am I someone you can boss around? Since I can directly devour power here, I'll just stay here!"

"You, abominable—"

The woman was furious.

She admitted that she did indeed intend to burn Chen Yi as firewood.

This point was indeed her fault!

But the Nirvana Sacred Fire was the core of their Phoenix clan; without it, their clan would face extinction!

This man was clearly devouring the power of the Nirvana Sacred Fire!

"Alright, I won't waste my breath with you anymore!"

Chen Yi said with a serious face, "Regarding the power Origin we agreed upon, if you are willing to give it up, I will leave once a minute has passed! Otherwise, I will stay here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the woman was so angry she nearly exploded.

The surrounding flames distorted and deformed due to her power fluctuations.

But seeing the power of the Nirvana Sacred Fire gradually weakening, she let out a long sigh.

For the safety of her clan, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself!

She gritted her teeth, extracted her own power, and condensed it into a seven-colored crystal.

"This is my power Origin, take it!"

Chen Yi took the crystal and devoured it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for collecting the power Origin of the Seven-Colored Phoenix!]

[Reward: 500 Enhancement Points!]

"Hmph! Wouldn't it have been better if you did this sooner?"

Chen Yi smiled, and then, seeing that the time was almost up to a minute, he walked out of the Sacred Fire.

Absorbing the Sacred Fire could indeed increase his 2D attributes, but only by a few points per second.

For the current Chen Yi, it really wasn't enough!

The woman watched Chen Yi's departing back and shook her head.

"Another terrifying entity..."
