Chapter 449
The Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird was a mighty existence in the Immemorial Epoch. It was gifted with the ability to use fire. As the Sacred Beast of Fire class, its supernatural power was eternal. It was one of the most powerful existences of that era.
The existence of such a mighty beast is obviously shrouded in mystery and also closely linked to existence of the seventh ranked heaven flames, Vermilion Bird True Flame.
Rumours had it that when one of the four Sacred Beasts, Vermilion Bird, left the Grace Mainland, as it didn’t know whether or not it could survive in outer space, it left a wisp of its soul.
That wisp of the soul had its flaming energy, but it didn’t have an entity. As time went by, it gradually cut off the connection with Vermilion Bird and gained its own intellect, becoming one of the heaven flames. The Vermilion Bird True Flame had the comprehension of Vermilion Bird’s principles. Weapons forged by Vermilion Bird True Flame would be added with the divine power of the Bird.
In the Grace Mainland, Vermilion Bird True Flame was the most mysterious heaven flame, as it rarely showed up.
After the Immemorial Epoch, the Ancient Time, and the Antiquity Era, no warrior had ever met this heaven flame. It seemed to have disappeared into thin air, or it had left the Grace Mainland somehow.
Heaven flames could sense each other. That was why Leylin’s heaven flames in his soul altar could detect the feeble fluctuation on the forehead of that giant bird..
Zahira felt some feeble soul consciousness emerging from Leylin and asked doubtfully. “Did you find anything?”
‘How strong is this flame? Can you guys deal with him? ‘ Leylin conversed with the heaven flames in hus soul altar, ignoring Zahira for now.
“Very powerful! He’s certainly at level five. His ascension is more complete than ours, and his power’s immense.” The Ice Cold Flame sent him its message first.
Leylin slightly changed his face.
Heaven Flames are similar to the warriors, and they could evolve. Heaven flames have 9 levels to achieve. Each time they ascend, it can break through one level, during which, They will improve intelligence and power, and the living form will become more perfect.
The ranking of 9 levels appears at the time they gain intellect, and then stays deep inside their souls. It will never fade away.
‘What are your current levels?’
Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame answered, “I had ascended to level 4. Due to a long time of captivity, my realm had degraded previously. But with your help I am fully recovered.”
“Among the heaven flames here, Yin Spirit Ghost Flame, the Ice Cold Flame and I are the same, at level 4. Ice Cold Flame has followed you for the longest and have made great progress. The Earth Flame’s at level 3 because of it’s young age. The Purgatory True Flame was also at level 4 but it has been weakened and fallen to a level barely reaching level 3.”
‘Can you compete against him?’ frowned Leylin.
“His realm is similar to the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame, level 5. Although he is ranked number 7, his ascension’s much better than us. Alone we are not his opponents. And, this is his territory. Once we engage in a battle, he can gain more energy support. It would be too strenuous to deal with him.” The Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame explained.
“Are you talking with someone?” Zahira beautiful eyes sparkled as she could feel his Soul Consciousness movement ever so slightly.
The soul sacrificial altar was the most precious and fundamental treasure of a warrior. It was the most forbidden and private place. Since the heaven flames were taking shelter in his soul altar, even she couldn’t detect them.
“Have you ever heard about heaven flames?”
Since Zahira was the princess of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation in the Raging Flame Star Area, her knowledge was profound. Leylin wondered if the Raging Flame Star Area have some heaven flames as well.
“Heaven flames?” Zahira was shaken, apparently astounded.
Leylin looked at her with an intrigued gaze, “You know them? Tell me more.”
“How do you know them?” She didn’t answer but asked.
Leylin frowned as he was filled with suspicion towards Zahira attitude.
‘If I tell her a lie it would be exposed the moment I release the heaven flames to fight against Vermilion Bird True Flame.’
“There are heaven flames from where I come.”
“What!?” Zahira was so astounded and shocked that her face paled. “I knew it. You’re definitely not a nobody. If you come from such a place what authority and position I would have as a mere princess before you. Why must you play with me?”
Leylin looked at her exaggeration with surprise, “I come from a low-level continent.”
“Are you kidding me? If you are low-level then who in Raging Flame Star Area can dare to be high level.”
Leylin beamed a forced smile. “I am not trying to fool you. Although a long time ago the continent I lived in was rich before and innumerable invincible experts have appeared. But that’s too long ago. Currently, the energy cycle of our continent is coming to an end.”
“The strongest experts nowadays are just True God Realm warriors..”
Zahira face was better after listening to him. “I see…I guess I understand why you asked for a life star now. But as far as I know, only the oldest continents could have these magical creatures called heaven flames.”
Zahira looked at him with a serious countenance and explained slowly. “Those mysterious and old continents have original magnetic fields, which absorb the energy of the star sea for billions of years. The original magnetic field stays in the deepest place in those continents, just like the marvelous soul altar of warriors. The heaven flames are the kinds of strange creatures created by the original energy of the original magnetic field.
“Each kind of heaven flames have coincidentally or accidentally gained a flow of Original Energy, and gradually formed their beings. Those flames don’t have a real entity. Their living forms are mysterious and magical. They are constantly completing and ascending.”
“The Original Energy is the most supernatural power in the world. Only the oldest continents could have the Original Magnetic Field. Of course, this flow of energy will drain together with the prosperity of lives on that continent. You said that your continent is about to reach its end of the energy cycle. I think it has lost the Original Magnetic Field and the Original Energy.”
Pausing for a while, She arranged her ideas and then continued. “Anyway, I can tell you that every continent that used to have the Original Magnetic Field is one of the oldest continents, and they aren’t the low-level ones. At least, in our Raging Flame Star Area, we have never had that kind of a continent.”
Leylin exclaimed inwardly. His eyes showed his astonishment. Origin Force! He guess wasn’t wrong, the heaven flames are really the key to origin force but it’s a pity that Grace Mainland is almost at the end otherwise it could have competed with even high level Worlds like Purgatory, Ice or Shadow World in terms of power.
“The ancient continents have the Original Magnetic Field, which could give birth to and nurture powerful lives. It could make the creatures on that continent learn faster and gain more of the heaven and earth’s energies. Lives born on continents with Original Magnetic Field are all high-grade living beings. From the primitive times, they could level up pretty fast using the enormous energy on the continent. Their realms were really profound and unpredictable.” Zahira took a deep breath and pointed at the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird under their feet. “Take this giant creature for example. No continent in the Raging Flame Star Area can give birth to such life. I’m sure it came from an ancient continent with Original Magnetic Field.”
‘The laws are very different here. Although all high level worlds give birth to powerful lives and produce superior species and even nurture law beings with its origin force but it won’t destroy it’s foundation like Grace Mainland. Is the end of cycle truly what’s happening to this ancient world or it’s more profound than that? If it was really such a high level world then what was the realm of the strongest being? Why do they left? Was it because they couldn’t advance anymore? So very puzzling, in the main body’s astral world no powerful being would even actually leave with their main body leaving behind the nurturing of origin force. Not only the laws but even the mentality of powerful entities are different here.’
Leylin eyes were contemplating as he answered Zahira. “I see. To be honest, there are legends of Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird told in our Grace mainland. It’s probably from my world.”
Zahira’s eyes sparkled. She confirmed immediately. “Then it’s true! Heaven Flames are the strange creatures that evolved from a flow of Original Energy. I heard that when a warrior could combine all kinds of heaven flames in a mysterious ancient continent, he could fuse those Original Energies into one, bringing an unimaginable benefit to his soul altar. Of course, I don’t know the details, because our Raging Flame Star Area has never had such a lucky bastard who could have all kinds of heaven flames from the continent with Original Magnetic Field. I think no one knows about it.”
Hearing her Leylin’s attention was drawn to ‘Heaven Flame Refining Divine Technique’ he obtained from the ring.
‘It’s my fate to find all heaven flames and fuse them to obtain the Original Energy!’
That secret technique discussed how to fuse all kinds of heaven flames to create the Fire Life, which could burn the soul and create the Original Soul.
Among the known ten heaven flames on the Grace Mainland, he had the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame, the Corpse Vanishing Flame, the Earth Flame, and the Purgatory True Flame.
During the event of “Crack of Blue Doom of Heaven” when all the different clans were freed from their exile, the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame which was the key to the confinement of Ghost Mark Clan was smashed and banished into another space.
When Leylin’s Space power would be improved further he could make that space appear again to gather the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame and conquer it.
So, among the ten heaven flames, only the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame, Immemorial Demonic Flame, and the Vermilion Bird True Flame remained unknown.
Today, the Vermilion Bird True Flame was right under his feet.
