292: Chaos Burning Star Flame upgrades, the place where Fire Cloud Celestial Lord falls

While waiting, Huo Ruier acted as a tour guide, taking Long Aotian and the others on a tour of the Southern Continent, which is known as a paradise of fire.

Taking advantage of this Opportunity, Long Aotian also mercilessly scoured the Southern Continent for strange fires.

There were nearly a thousand of them!

This made other Alchemists who entered the Southern Continent to search for strange fires, and even Huo Ruier, a little unsettled.

Long Aotian's Divine Sense was simply too strong; the entire Sky Ruins Continent was within the coverage of his Divine Sense, and he knew exactly where every strange fire was in the Southern Continent.

Collecting nearly a thousand strange fires was merely taking some that he barely deemed worthy and not wanting to completely deplete the Southern Continent's strange fires; he had already shown mercy.

What surprised Huo Ruier even more was that Long Aotian actually possessed the Chaos Burning Star Flame, ranked first on the Myriad Realms strange fire ranking, and the reason he collected so many strange fires was simply to let the Chaos Burning Star Flame devour other strange fires to see if it could advance.

After nearly a thousand strange fires were devoured, Huo Ruier could clearly feel that the Chaos Burning Star Flame's fire power had increased by more than several times; according to Long Aotian, it had already advanced to Divine-Grade Three.

It was quite terrifying!

Long Aotian didn't feel much about it; when he refined the Chaos Burning Star Flame, the Chaos Burning Star Flame was already at Immortal Rank Peak, and now, after devouring nearly a thousand strange fires, it had barely advanced to Divine-Grade Three. To be honest, he was still a little unsatisfied.

The main reason was that the strange fires in the Lower Realm were all of too low a grade, all Mortal Rank. Strictly speaking, it was a miracle that he could use Mortal Rank strange fires to make the Chaos Burning Star Flame advance by devouring them.

Long Aotian felt that it was unlikely to be a problem of insufficient quality being made up by quantity, but rather a problem of the variety of strange fires.

Of the ten thousand strange fires on the Myriad Realms strange fire ranking, the Chaos Burning Star Flame had devoured nearly a thousand types in the Southern Continent alone.

While there were many in quantity, they were all Mortal Rank and simply didn't have the energy to allow an Immortal Rank Peak flame to advance to Divine-Grade, especially since this strange fire was the Chaos Burning Star Flame, which required incredibly terrifying energy for advancement.

However, if it was a matter of many types within a large quantity, then it would be different.

The power unleashed when one type of strange fire fuses with another is simply incomparable to the Fusion of the same type of strange fire; it's a geometric explosion of power.

The Fusion of nearly a thousand different types of Mortal Rank strange fires actually allowed an Immortal Rank Peak strange fire to advance to Divine-Grade Three.

This also made Long Aotian deeply realize the terrifying power of strange fire Fusion, especially the Fusion of different types of strange fires. If the quantity is sufficient, it is even possible to unleash terrifying destructive power that spans ten major Realms to kill enemies.

Strange fires are inherently the collective term for the most special and fierce fire seeds in the world. The destructive power of multiple fierce fires fusing together can absolutely burn the sky, boil the seas, and be World-Destroying.

Not to mention multiple types, just the Chaos Burning Star Flame alone, in its Peak state, can instantly incinerate a planet.

If multiple strange fires were to fuse, Long Aotian could no longer imagine the destructive power that would erupt.

Now that the Chaos Burning Star Flame had devoured nearly a thousand types of strange fires, it had undoubtedly become even more ferocious. With just this little fellow, even if a God King came, it would be difficult to kill Long Aotian.

Unbeknownst to him, Long Aotian had gained a terrifying trump card.

Under Huo Ruier's guidance, the flying boat slowly arrived in front of a world-renowned volcano. The flying boat stopped when it was several thousand miles away from the volcano.

"Continent Lord, that volcano ahead is Skyfire Mountain, the most famous and fiercest-powered volcano in our Southern Continent. Its terrifying fire power is such that even my father wouldn't dare approach it within a thousand miles."

Long Aotian nodded: "This Skyfire Mountain is indeed quite interesting; it can even weaken or shield a Cultivator's Divine Sense?"

"Not simple!"

Looking at Skyfire Mountain, several thousand miles away, with an elevation of five to six thousand meters and a circumference of nearly a hundred miles, continuously burning with raging flames and fire power soaring several thousand meters high, Feng Zixian's brows couldn't help but slightly furrow as she spoke, "It's said that this place was also one of the battlefields of that martial Dao catastrophe back then?"

"Yes!"

Huo Ruier nodded: "The reason the Southern Continent became a paradise of fire was due to the impact of that great battle.

At that time, the population of the Southern Continent was no less than that of the Eastern Continent, but due to the impact of that martial Dao catastrophe, billions of living beings in the Southern Continent perished directly. Coupled with the panic and people leaving one after another, the once prosperous Southern Continent was left with only our Holy Fire Sect standing strong until now."

Feng Zixian, who had Rebirth and Reincarnation, had studied that martial Dao catastrophe. Huo Ruier, being a native of the Southern Continent, undoubtedly knew more about the history of that martial Dao catastrophe than Feng Zixian.

However, there was one person who knew even more than Huo Ruier. Long Aotian, gazing at the Skyfire Mountain in front of him, spoke, "There should be a Celestial Venerable Realm expert named Fire Cloud who perished here, or rather, he was beaten back to his original form.

Huo Ruier, Xian'er, Second Uncle, the three of you stay here; I want to go in and take a look."

"..."

Huo Ruier and Ge Bei looked somewhat bewildered.

Fire Cloud Celestial Venerable?

Original form?

Celestial Venerable Realm?

What was Long Aotian talking about?

Why couldn't they understand anything?!

"Do you want me to go in with you? I have the Phoenix Undying Emperor Body, and my Bloodline contains a trace of Phoenix Nirvana Flame, so I should be able to withstand the heat waves inside Skyfire Mountain."

Feng Zixian also seemed to have the idea of going in to take a look.

"Phoenix Nirvana Flame?"

Huo Ruier immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Are both of you so abnormal? This makes me, the little princess of the Nanzhou Sacred Fire Sect, feel somewhat ashamed.

One possesses the Chaos Burning Star Flame, ranked first on the Myriad Realms strange fire ranking, and the other possesses the Phoenix Nirvana Flame, ranked fifth on the Myriad Realms strange fire ranking. This is truly too much of a blow."

At this moment, Huo Ruier was truly disheartened by this couple.

To think that she, the dignified little princess of the Nanzhou Sacred Fire Sect, didn't even have a strange fire ranked among the top hundred, yet Long Aotian and Feng Zixian, on the other hand, successively revealed two strange fires ranked in the top ten.

Comparing oneself to others can truly be infuriating!

"...Ruier, don't be sad. In the future, your husband will find you a strange fire ranked in the top ten as well."

Ge Bei promptly stepped forward to comfort his wife.

"..."

Huo Ruier was very touched, but she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Ge Bei, do you know how difficult it is to obtain strange fires ranked in the top ten on the Myriad Realms strange fire ranking?

These top ten strange fires, if they truly grow, are terrifying existences that can at least burn powerful Cultivators across five major Realms, making them scramble. They are not something just anyone can obtain.

Without a great Opportunity, one is hard to find!

Among trillions of Cultivators, one is rarely seen!"

"..."
