Chapter 873: Chapter 860 Red Moon Soul Ring

That’s right, the Inherited Flame Seed within Ye Zhen’s Dantian, its grade is Heaven Rank!

Under normal circumstances, this Inherited Flame Seed could only be elevated to Human Level, but the span of ten thousand years was too long, unimaginably long!

Fueled by twenty subterranean spirit veins’ energy for nearly ten thousand years, the grade of twenty high-grade spirit veins dropped from high-grade to mid-grade to low-grade, and finally became so weak with no grade left!

Fortunately, when these twenty high-grade spirit veins became so weak they were about to dissipate, after thousands of years of subtle influence, they finally took root in this land and continued to supply energy for several thousand more years.

The quantitative change prompted a qualitative transformation, ultimately breaking this Inherited Seed to Heaven Rank, and its immense energy developed Ye Zhen’s newly opened fifth innate bloodline to a terrifying ten feet!

The deadliest part is that Ye Zhen’s newly forged Xuan Fire Spirit Vein, once forged, became a Heavenly Fire Spirit Vein, filled with unimaginably pure fire element spiritual power, containing an incredibly powerful Heavenly Fire Seed.

As long as Ye Zhen wishes, he can unleash the Earth Core Heavenly Fire with astonishing power at any time and place!

And the power of Earth Core Heavenly Fire is extremely formidable.

Beneath human fire, ordinary martial artists in the second or third stage of the Soul Sea Realm are reduced to ashes!

Above human fire, there is ground fire, whose power is several times that of human fire. From the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the peak of the seventh, eighth, ninth stage of the Vein Forging Realm, none can withstand it under ground fire!

As for heavenly fire, its power is even more terrifying!

As long as one has not yet achieved the ability to transcend this world, in the face of heavenly fire, they are like ants!

Under normal circumstances, a martial artist’s cultivation must reach the ninth stage peak of the Establishment Realm, breakthrough to the Dao Entrance Realm, to possess the power to break through the void and escape this world!

In other words, with the heavenly fire seed within this Xuan Fire Spirit Vein, Ye Zhen is absolutely invincible in the Establishment Realm!

However, the heavenly fire seed in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Spirit Vein is only a low-grade heavenly fire, though powerful, it hasn’t reached the capability of making all beneath the Dao Entrance Realm like ants.

Yet, the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture records many secret techniques to elevate the grade of heavenly fire. As long as Ye Zhen can elevate the heavenly fire grade to mid-grade or even high-grade heavenly fire, then beneath the Dao Entrance Realm, all are like ants before Ye Zhen!

Moreover, according to the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, as long as Ye Zhen is diligent, elevating the flame seed in this Xuan Fire Spirit Vein to a spiritual fire is not too difficult.

Back then, the Earth Core Fire Commander only elevated his Xuan Fire Spirit Vein grade to Void Flame and was able to roam the world.

And according to the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture’s grade, between Void Flame and heavenly fire, there’s only spiritual fire and true fire in between.

The Earth Core Fire Commander only gave Ye Zhen a thousand years because it took him just eight hundred years from obtaining the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture to practicing to the Void Flame level!

But, according to the Earth Core Fire Commander’s estimation, his martial arts inheritor would definitely not take this long, his inheritor would require even less time to practice the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture to the Void Flame level!

Firstly, the starting point is high!

Back then, the Earth Core Fire Commander started from scratch, while his inheritor had the human fire seed prepared by the Earth Core Fire Commander, directly entering to cultivate. In fact, the Inherited Flame Seed obtained by Ye Zhen, this inheritor, is a heavenly fire seed.

According to the Earth Core Fire Commander’s record, it took him a full one hundred fifty years to cultivate the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture from entry to heavenly fire!

However, this isn’t the most important part. The most important part is the Earth Core Fire Commander left all his cultivation experiences unreservedly in this Inherited Flame Seed.

It contains numerous cultivation insights from countless failures by the Earth Core Fire Commander on how to rapidly enhance the quality of flames, and even records numerous flame appearances, fusion, and extraction methods.

In Ye Zhen’s view, these are the most precious!

There are also several secret techniques for controlling and tempering flames, and records of over a thousand powerful flames, some obtained by the Earth Core Fire Commander, some he couldn’t cultivate in his lifetime. These comprise the entirety of the Earth Core Fire Commander’s martial arts legacy!

Of course, the martial arts inheritance of such a terrifying existence as the Earth Core Fire Commander would not be so small, for this reason, the Earth Core Fire Commander specifically left a passage to explain this!

In his youth, the Earth Core Fire Commander was known as the Hand Extreme, Sword Mastery, and Fire Extinction, called the Three Extremes, amassing countless mysterious skills and techniques over the years.

However, although he acquired many mysterious skills and techniques, it was accumulated over a thousand years. If his inheritor were to gain a hundred powerful and enticing mysterious skills and techniques overnight, it could be a disaster for his inheritor!

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

The Earth Core Fire Commander instructed, regardless of the number of mysterious skills and techniques, as long as his inheritor focuses on cultivating this Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, and strives to cultivate an Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body, they will surely roam the world.

As for those mysterious skills and techniques, they are merely the spoils of growth along the way!

Such things, for the strong, were never in short supply!

To prevent distraction of his martial arts inheritor, thus, beyond the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, no other mysterious skills and techniques were left behind!

These are the final instructions the Earth Core Fire Commander left for Ye Zhen, with one sentence that particularly moved Ye Zhen!

Besides the martial arts inheritance, the Earth Core Fire Commander also left his lifetime accumulation of wealth to his martial arts inheritor!

Unfortunately, to escape the pursuit of his great enemy Si Chen, his personal spiritual treasures were all destroyed, leaving nothing for his inheritor to inherit.

Moreover, in order to build the Ground Fire Heart Palace’s grand formation, moving veins against the heavens, he invested all his spirit stones into the Nourishing Seed Formation, so what was left for Ye Zhen in that storage ring was mainly the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and various spiritual medicines he accumulated over his lifetime.

This message left Ye Zhen both happy and disappointed.

Disappointed that the Earth Core Fire Commander’s spiritual treasures were completely destroyed, without leaving him a single piece. Happy because, considering what kind of existence the Earth Core Fire Commander was, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and various spiritual medicines he had collected, even those from a thousand years ago, how valuable could they be?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but eagerly look towards the heart, only the size of a fingernail, still beating within the belly of the volcano.

According to the Earth Core Fire Commander, his storage ring is right there!

Ye Zhen’s gaze naturally fell on the inherited flame seed within his Dantian. Only after this inherited flame seed was completely absorbed by Ye Zhen, could he retrieve the storage ring left by the Earth Core Fire Commander from the belly of the mountain!

At this moment, the inherited flame seed within Ye Zhen’s Dantian was only the size of an infant’s fist.

The vast energy within it was almost consumed when Ye Zhen opened up the fifth innate bloodline and directly condensed the Xuan Fire Spirit Veins.

The remaining power was still continuously being pumped into Ye Zhen’s fifth Xuan Fire Spirit Vein, doing the final enrichment, while the inherited flame seed was rapidly shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

An hour later, when the inherited flame seed within Ye Zhen’s Dantian reduced to the size of a fingernail, with a bang, the now hollow inherited flame seed and the fingernail-sized heart in the volcano’s belly simultaneously exploded.

The hollow shell of the inherited flame seed within Ye Zhen’s Dantian exploded into a mass of pure fire spirit power, while the heart the size of a fingernail in the volcano’s belly revealed a cluster of dark brilliance when it burst open!

Ye Zhen’s eyes brightened sharply, "The storage ring!"

"The storage ring of the Earth Core Fire Commander!"

A mighty, almost tangible four-colored innate soul light suddenly shot out, directly attracting the dark storage ring floating in the belly of the volcano to Ye Zhen!

At the moment he grabbed it, a peculiar expression appeared on Ye Zhen’s face.

The aura of this storage ring seemed strikingly familiar.

After some careful recollection, Ye Zhen suddenly realized, the aura emitted by this storage ring bore some resemblance to the soul artifacts of the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng and the Green Sun Palace Master Chu Yang!

Storage rings have grades, but generally, they don’t emit the aura of their grades because the role of a storage ring is simply storage.

But strangely enough, the storage ring before him was faintly exuding the aura of a soul artifact!

Out of curiosity, Ye Zhen’s divine soul power surged into this storage ring, and without any hindrance, succeeded in engraving it, and in an instant, it disappeared from Ye Zhen’s middle finger, leaving only a faint red crescent moon.

At the moment his divine sense penetrated, Ye Zhen was stunned!

The largest storage ring Ye Zhen had ever seen, until now, was the low-grade spirit ring he had seized from the Establishment King, but even that low-grade spirit ring was merely a kilometer in size.

With a length, width, and height each spanning a kilometer, it was sufficient to store massive quantities, and compared to most martial artists who owned high-grade treasure rings with a mere hundred-meter space, it was adequately large!

But the size of this Earth Core Fire Commander’s storage ring was surprisingly a thousand miles in circumference, and even Ye Zhen’s divine sense took a full two to three breaths to scan through the entirety of this storage ring!

A thousand miles in circumference!

Many mountains are only a few hundred miles in length!

In other words, this storage ring could even hold one or two large mountains!

A round of divine sense, Ye Zhen thoroughly understood this storage ring left by the Earth Core Fire Commander!

Soul Artifact!

Unexpectedly, it was a mid-grade soul artifact, and it even had a name!

Named the Red Moon Soul Ring!

However, the most important feature of this Red Moon Soul Ring wasn’t its size, but the extremely complex formation engraved within it by the master who refined it.

This formation was called the Red Moon Chain Formation!

Its greatest function is to autonomously absorb heaven and earth primordial qi from the surroundings and store it into the formation, then, when needed, the master only needs a thought to activate a Red Moon Shield, providing crucial protection at pivotal moments!

The defensive capability of this Red Moon Shield is related to the grade of the Red Moon Soul Ring’s mid-grade soul device, capable of blocking a full-power strike from a mid-grade soul device!

Equivalent to an inherent skill!

This discovery left Ye Zhen both shocked and delighted!

The only regret is that after activating the Red Moon Shield once, the Red Moon Soul Ring needs to continuously absorb heaven and earth primordial qi for nine days before the Red Moon Shield can be activated again!

However, Ye Zhen automatically ignored this shortcoming!

A treasure that can block a full-power strike from a mid-grade soul device, even if used only once every nine days or even eighty-one days, is still a remarkable treasure!

In his moments of joy, Ye Zhen’s divine sense, for the first time, focused on the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures casually piled within the Red Moon Soul Ring! (To be continued.
