369: Chapter 369 Second Layer of Primal Fire Embryo, Cross Symbols, Forging

"Who knows how long ago, at least tens of millions of years ago."

"An exalted being in the fire Dao Domain, for some unknown reason, had their symbolic Divine Artifact collapse. Endless fire poured out from a furnace and tumbled into the Only True Realm."

"It created the spectacle of the sea of fire. Back then, that place was a peerless treasure land where True Gods accelerated the sacrificial refining of Divine Artifacts and forged divine weapons."

"It was just that after a few epochs, a sudden accident occurred."

"A certain exalted being became involved with symbols related to disaster. Word has it that it implicated the exalted being of that fire Dao Domain, and since then, the depths of this Fire Sea Disaster Domain have been almost entirely occupied by these existences."

The several angels looked thoughtful upon hearing this.

In truth, the fire Dao and calamities always accompanied each other.

Living beings in countless worlds believed that fire was the beginning of civilization.

At the same time, they felt it was a terrifying disaster, inspiring awe, fear, and hatred in countless lives.

This was their connection.

And disaster-related matters would naturally touch upon interests related to the fire Dao; disputes over the Dao path were nothing more than this.

"In that case, with the abilities of the few of us, borrowing the power of the primordial fire embryo on the second layer is enough for forging and Fusion."

It was still Archangel Ronghuo who spoke.

As an archangel holding the Law of [Spirit Fire] and authority related to weapon forging, although none of them had heard of what a primordial fire embryo was, as long as they linked to the Only True Realm via Law, they could roughly search out relevant information.

Unfortunately, so much time had passed that practically no one knew the abilities of this kind of primordial fire embryo anymore.

Archangel Ronghuo could only vaguely perceive that it was related to the earliest fire elemental spirits.

"Alright, let's go take a look."

For angels and even archangels, most areas of the Only True Realm were as flat as walking on smooth ground.

However, the extremely ancient Only True Realm always had various regions that were overly entangled with exalted beings.

Even when they were on rotational duty, they would intentionally bypass them so as not to offend the deeds of the exalted beings.

Right now, the single human and four angels were shuttling through the Void Realm storms with ease.

It was just that a sea of fire in the Void Realm ahead blocked their path.

Angel Lingxin guided everyone on how to pass through.

"If we want to enter the 2nd layer, we can only return to real space right now."

"That place is occupied by various calamities, but we can still pass through it."

Everyone nodded, tore open space, and entered a chaotic zone intertwined with hundreds or thousands of disaster Laws.

The mountain-treading disaster they had encountered before was merely a little pig in such a magnificent disaster environment.

Space and time were disarrayed, temperature and energy mutated, and elements and spirits fell into chaos.

"There is no need to worry. Protected by our Law, these things look terrifying, but they cannot threaten angels."

Wang An held the [command banner] in his hand, and the Law it radiated caused the power of calamities to automatically retreat.

Seeing that it was indeed effective, the four angels and he set their minds at ease and shuttled through quickly.

Angel Lingxing advanced together with everyone and introduced the place further.

"This is the 3rd layer, the Fire Disaster Kingdom."

Before the mutation, this place was a treasured land where many powerful True Gods stayed.

The flames covering this place were the exact same Void Realm sea of fire they had encountered earlier; there were no flames in reality, and it served as an outpost for quite a few factions.

As they crossed certain areas, they saw ruins of many man-made structures, faintly revealing the prosperity of back then.

After traveling for nearly half a month, a floating sea of fire where even space had become void appeared ahead of them.

There was no space; the Void Realm and reality were directly connected.

It was indeed the exact opposite of the third layer.

Stopping at the edge where the third layer entered the second layer, everyone gazed at this scene in shock.

There were no other elements here, and space had already become void; there was only fire left, endless fire.

Angel Lingxing also felt deeply emotional upon seeing this scene.

"This is the primordial fire embryo; every single cluster is one."

"They are like flames born before the world was even created."

"No space can carry them, and no matter can block them."

Archangel Ronghuo, however, was extremely happy upon entering here, because this was a completely new fire that even he did not know.

Or rather, it was a Domain that the exalted being behind him had never touched upon.

Seeing this, Wang An had quite a few doubts in his heart and blurted out,

"Isn't Archangel Ronghuo—and the exalted being behind the Lihuo Divine Court—also an existence related to the fire Dao?"

The various angels looked at Wang An. Initially, they found it strange, but they quickly realized that this outsider did not understand the situation of the exalted beings here.

Therefore, Angel Zhanwu explained it to him.

"Exalted beings distinguish their authority by symbols. Over these dozens of epochs, many symbols of the new exalted beings span across multiple pure paths."

"For example, Xiaojin and Lihuo both span across Domains such as metal, flame, forging, mechanism, and shaping."

"Only ancient existences might still hold pure, singular symbols."

"I see."

Wang An had his own conjectures regarding the evolution of the paths of the exalted beings in the Divine True Realm.

At the very beginning, it was probably just like himself: what they grasped were the pure powers of the Five Elements among the Five Elements, rarely involving the possibility of cross-Domain combination.

Afterward, as the world evolved, imagery accumulated, and the Law gradually grew stronger, there finally emerged the soil for cross-Domain exalted beings to be born.

Although this kind of path easily interfered with the Domains of other exalted beings,

they usually had more methods and a wider range of paths to choose from, naturally becoming the mainstream.

After a burst of joy, Archangel Ronghuo probed out the abilities of these primordial fire embryos and shared them with everyone.

"We certainly cannot utilize even a single cluster of primordial fire embryo, nor can we take it away."

"But we can use their external heat to process the Materials, melting and reshaping the Law inside."

"It is precisely suited to your requirements, Tianhe."

Hearing him say this, Wang An put down much of his worry in his heart and took out these three pieces of Materials.

[qingfeng dongxuan heavenly sword], the Spirit Treasure sword tip fragment, and the [myriad phenomena illusion god scale].

Seeing two items among them related to high-order existences, the angels could not help but feel amazed.

"For this Grand Master Tianhe to achieve such net worth at the True God level—"

"—is almost as outrageously absurd as picking up a symbolic Divine Artifact."

"Alright, we can process the Materials first."

"I see the forging method of this small sword is quite peculiar. It can easily accommodate so many spiritual crystal divine irons, so adding these Materials will be much easier."

Afterward, Angel Xiaohua and Angel Lingxing began to comprehend the Law inside the Spirit Treasure fragment and quasi-Spirit Treasure, striving to preserve their Law power as much as possible during the melting process while avoiding conflicts with others.

Archangel Ronghuo and Wang An began to discuss the forging methods.

He first spoke of his method of molding shapes and refining qualities when refining Flying Swords.

"We can first let the Flying Sword return to the form of golden qi and sword qi. After the Materials melt, we use qi to wrap around the Materials and slowly infiltrate and achieve Fusion."

"Afterward, removing the Impurities and cutting down unnecessary and contradictory Law branches counts as completing one revolution."

"Given that this kind of material is overly sturdy and its Law is vast, we need to repeat it several times to fully unleash its potential."
