Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Another Promotion, Innate Perfection!

The Red Silkworm Spirit Fire was one of the spiritual fires that Fang Bai subdued in his previous life in the three thousand great worlds.

Fang Bai’s physical body was destroyed in the ninth heavenly domain of the Immortal Realm by the joint attack of eight Immortal Emperors, including various kinds of spiritual fires and Immortal Fires like the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, which subsequently scattered across the universe, whereabouts unknown.

The encounter with the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire was the first time Fang Bai had come across a spiritual fire from his previous life after his rebirth through body possession, naturally stirring immense excitement in his heart.

If he could devour the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire again, Fang Bai would have the hope of directly forging a foundation of Fire Primordial Qi, which would substantially enhance his strength.

Although the body Fang Bai took over through possession is a rare Chaos True Body, far more robust than his physical form in his past life, Fang Bai’s current cultivation level has not truly entered the Innate Realm. If he forcefully consumed the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, whether his body could withstand the terrifying high temperatures of the impact is something Fang Bai had no solid confidence in.

If the power of the spiritual fire were to exceed Fang Bai’s body’s capacity, his internal organs would probably turn to ash instantly, essentially setting himself on fire.

Yet, upon seeing the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, a natural sense of affection pervaded Fang Bai’s heart, and he involuntarily took steps closer towards it. Even though his body suffered from the burning high temperatures released by the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, causing excruciating pain, he still persevered through gritted teeth.

Fang Bai is not an impulsive man, but upon first sight of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, he made up his mind to devour it.

For Fang Bai, forcefully devouring the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire was a risky gamble.

If he won this gamble, Fang Bai’s strength would significantly increase, moving him a substantial step closer to his goal of returning to the three thousand great worlds.

But if he lost, Fang Bai might perish here, with his remains possibly reduced to dust under the intense heat of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire.

Five hundred meters... three hundred meters... two hundred meters... one hundred meters...

Fang Bai’s legs felt as if they were weighed down with lead, becoming heavier and heavier, and his pace slower, yet he never stopped walking, his gaze also unwaveringly firm.

When he was about a hundred meters away from the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, the cluster of fire that resembled a silkworm suddenly seemed to be whipped up by a gust, flickering rapidly a few times.

Then, a Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion about the size of a fist seemed to burst forth from the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, joyfully rushing towards Fang Bai at high speed.

During this process, the size of the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion rapidly increased from small to large, reaching Fang Bai’s front, its size had grown to a couple of meters.

On closer inspection, it could be seen that the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion was not made of flesh and blood, but entirely of fire illusion, extremely lifelike, indistinguishable from the real thing.

By the time one looked back at that small flame, it had already disappeared.

"I never expected that after so many years, even though I’ve changed bodies, you still recognize me..."

Fang Bai looked at the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion that had run up to him, his expression filled with excitement, muttering as he couldn’t help but reach out to touch its head.

The Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion blinked its eyes, lowered its head, and actively rubbed against Fang Bai’s hand, showing extreme docility.

"Hmm..."

Fang Bai’s palm touched the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion, and instantly a burning pain like never before spread from his palm to his entire body, followed by a blur before his eyes, and the giant Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion unexpectedly vanished into thin air.

Fang Bai clearly knew what had happened and showed no sign of panic. With a face bearing pain, he sat down cross-legged where he was, eyes slightly closed, and swiftly entered a cultivation state.

At this moment, beneath the epidermis of Fang Bai’s body, it was as if raging flames were burning, leaving his entire body reddened, seemingly on the verge of exploding at any moment—an extremely horrifying sight.

While cultivating, Fang Bai used his Divine Sense to look inward and found that the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion, which had disappeared from his sight, was indeed lying in his Qi Sea, only now it had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice.

Yet, this rice-sized Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion contained astonishing energy. If released, even ten Martial Artists at the peak of the Innate Realm could hardly endure it.

The so-called Spiritual Fire is flame that absorbs the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence Energy and possesses certain spirituality; its power is indeed not comparable to ordinary mundane fire.

And Spiritual Fire will give birth to a Fire Spirit. The Fire Spirit of a Spiritual Fire is akin to the thoughts and soul of human Martial Artists. Once the Fire Spirit disappears, the Spiritual Fire ceases to exist as well.

And the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion that had just transformed from Fire Primordial Qi was precisely the Fire Spirit of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire.

In his past life, the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire was subdued by Fang Bai and later, as Fang Bai’s physical body was destroyed, the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire scattered across these thousand Minor Worlds, creating miles of Essence Stone Veins and also turning this place into a Forbidden Zone of Life, feared by Martial Artists.

As Fang Bai approached, the Fire Spirit of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire sensed the aura of this former master. Without waiting for Fang Bai to devour it again, it actively entered into Fang Bai’s Qi Sea, aiming to merge with the Chaos Origin Energy within.

The sudden intrusion of the Fire Spirit of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire into his Qi Sea caused Fang Bai immense pain. If not for Fang Bai possessing the Chaos True Body in this life, with a divine physique forcibly suppressing the power of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire’s Fire Spirit, his body truly might have exploded.

Even so, Fang Bai’s internal meridians and blood vessels were continuously scorched by the powerful force of fire, breaking and then healing, healing and then breaking, over and over again. The pain was unimaginable to ordinary people, but Fang Bai persevered through it with stubborn will.

Day and night passed, the moon rose and set, and after an indeterminate amount of time, Fang Bai, whose face was contorted from the pain, finally regained a calm state, sitting cross-legged like an Old Monk in meditation for a long time before he took a relieving deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Inside his pupils, two clusters of flame appeared and disappeared instantly, and a startling fiery aura suddenly dispersed from his body, scattering vigorously in all directions, turning the surrounding area for miles into flat land.

By this time, the Fire Spirit of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire in Fang Bai’s Qi Sea had been integrated into the pool of Chaos Origin Energy, and the Fire Primordial Qi component that constituted the Chaos Origin Energy had thus grown stronger.

"What a pity, with the aid of the Spiritual Fire, I still couldn’t establish the foundation..."

Fang Bai stood up regretfully, sighing lightly.

At this moment, Fang Bai had transcended from the previous Universe Level perfection and stepped into the realm of Innate perfection. However, he felt somewhat disappointed for not successfully establishing the foundation.

"Advancing from Universe Level perfection to Innate perfection is already a great leap; expecting to establish a foundation is being too greedy. Moreover, if the foundation is unstable, it could hinder future cultivation. Let’s take it slow!"

Fang Bai consoled himself, then took out a set of clothes from the Spatial Ring, put them on with a relaxed smile, and turned, striding away.

The temperature in the Eternal Death Zone was incredibly high because of the presence of the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire, but now that the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire had been subdued by Fang Bai again, the temperature there drastically decreased.

Although the Fire Primordial Qi in the Eternal Death Zone did not disperse and there were Flame Elemental Stone Veins underground, the temperature was still much hotter than other regions. However, compared to before, it had improved significantly, at least allowing Martial Artists above the Innate Realm to venture deeper into it now.
