CHAPTER 1809: CHAPTER 669: THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE DEMON CLAN, WITHERING AND FLOURISHING FIRE SPIRIT_3

Then next...

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat.

A wisp of green flame leisurely flew out and in the void transformed into the shadow of a small tree ten feet tall.

The small tree stood in midair, its roots directly plunged into the red cloud flame.

"Fourth-Order Sourceless Fire, refining it might take quite some time."

Luo Chen murmured to himself and immediately sat cross-legged in the void, unhurriedly initiating his natal qi technique.

When he ventured once more to urge the original source true fire to devour the sourceless fire, he suddenly discovered that the refining speed seemed much faster than before.

"Eh?"

"Why is it so easy, seemingly even smoother than refining Third-Order Sourceless Fire before?"

Luo Chen was extremely astonished.

While refining the sourceless fire, he searched for the cause of this change.

"Is it that the order of my Prosperity and Decline True Fire is getting higher?"

"Or am I becoming more familiar with this process...or perhaps, it’s due to my lifebound magic treasure Mix Yuan Cauldron’s assistance?"

Perhaps, all of these factors play a part.

But ultimately, Luo Chen found the main reason for the rapid devouring speed.

On the system panel, a term was shimmering brightly.

[Phoenix Nirvana Sutra Grandmaster 501/1000]

Unknowingly, the proficiency of his natal qi technique had silently advanced to the grandmaster level!

Noticing this change, Luo Chen was overwhelmingly excited, almost interrupting the process of devouring the Fourth-Order Sky-Burning Fire.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and swiftly suppressed his excitement.

Yet even so, Luo Chen remained exceedingly joyful.

The "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was arguably the most profound divine skill he had ever learned.

Since acquiring it, more than forty years had passed!

If it had been any other cultivation technique or technique he learned in the past, he would’ve reached the finalization long ago.

However, the slow progress of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was simply infuriating.

Even though he ran it tirelessly day and night, and even with his realm elevated to the Golden Core Sixth Layer, with only half a progress bar to the seventh layer, the proficiency of his natal qi technique remained stuck at the perfection level.

The so-called grandmaster level seemed only a few tens of proficiency points away, yet it was still like a snail’s crawl.

Imagining the increasingly challenging path ahead, reaching the finalization level seemed like a task of unknown years.

Yet unexpectedly, by stepping into the Blazing Refinement Prison and repeatedly urging his natal qi technique to devour the sourceless fire with the original source true fire, his proficiency began to skyrocket.

In just a few months, it broke past the perfection level in one fell stride to reach the grandmaster level.

At this level, the efficiency of devouring sourceless fire increased more than tenfold.

"Indeed, the function to devour sourceless fire stems from this set of techniques!"

"In fact, this wondrous function likely only manifests when practicing to its profound depth, that is, the grandmaster level."

The grandmaster level on the system panel is comparable to the completion stage in the mouths of ordinary people!

And Luo Chen discovered this curious use earlier, experimented and practiced, and employed this function ahead of time, which led to a short-term surge in proficiency.

"Indeed, a double blessing!"

Luo Chen laughed happily, intensifying his qi power, and the devouring process accelerated by another threefold.

Days later.

Luo Chen slowly descended from the flaming red clouds spanning thousands of miles.

The aura on his body became increasingly domineering and fiery.

While flying and tunneling through the void, he even felt as if a fish in water.

It was as though this Blazing Refinement Prison was his home!

When Luo Chen once again stopped at the low mountain, his eyes revealing an expression of surprise, a low, resounding voice came to his ears.

"Luo Chen, too much is as bad as too little."

Luo Chen’s face was full of displeasure, "What is it?"

"You mustn’t continue like this." Han Zhan’s voice sounded again.

Luo Chen gave a light snort, "Why not, I can feel that if I continue like this, my original source true fire will undergo qualitative change, perhaps reaching the Fifth Order level in one leap!"

While he spoke, a small tree suffused with green flames swayed its branches slightly within the Sea of Qi, as though echoing his statement.

Han Zhan remained silent.

Seeing Luo Chen step once more, flying towards the low mountain which might be harboring sourceless fire, Han Zhan finally opened his mouth again.

"When that time comes, should I call you Luo Chen, or should I call you the Withering and Flourishing Fire Spirit?"

Boom!

Green flames engulfed his entire being, burning the void.

Luo Chen’s steps halted mid-air, as though struck by lightning, and his expression became extremely unpleasant.
