Chapter 679: Absorbing Solar Fire and Reaching the Emperor's Apex
Chapter 679: Absorbing Solar Fire and Reaching the Emperor's Apex
In the vast expanse of the starry sky, Su Ping felt a sense of familiarity. Yet, upon entering this cosmic realm once more, the grandeur and awe-inspiring sight still left him in awe.
The boundless starry sky was filled with endless possibilities, both dangerous and mysterious.
After leaving the Blue Star and advancing his cultivation, Su Ping gained a new sense of perception.
The rules of the Blue Star restricted the abilities of pets and beasts, allowing them to fly through the sky and dive into the earth, but they couldn't match the power they possessed in the starry sky.
However, it was precisely because of the rules of the Blue Star that the evolution of pets and beasts became simpler, and the resources for their birth became more abundant.
In this starry sky and universe, although there were no restrictions on the abilities and powers, in reality, except for some special situations, it was still quite barren.
No wonder the development of the starry sky and the Blue Star needed to continue.
However, there wasn't much time for contemplation.
Entering the starry sky was no easy task.
As the leader of the Western Desert Legion, Wolf Lord couldn't afford to leave casually during such a critical moment.
Therefore, only Su Ping and the Divine Dragon Legend entered the starry sky.
"Alright, summon your pet beast. This time, you'll need to estimate the distance from the sun yourself!"
The Divine Dragon Legend waved his hand.
In the next moment, a small flame accompanied by a summoning light appeared before Su Ping and the Divine Dragon Legend.
The burning flame was so intense that even the Divine Dragon Legend couldn't help but stare at it for a few moments.
However, the small flame completely ignored the legendary figure.
Even Su Ping, its master, didn't receive much attention. Its entire focus and attention were on the enormous, dazzling, and scorching light ball in the distance.
The sun.
In the starry sky, the heat emitted by a star was particularly noticeable to the small flame, the supreme of the fire attribute, and the incarnation of the Flame Lord.
Due to this perception, the small flame understood how attractive and beneficial this object was to it.
Thus, it instinctively wanted to fly towards it.
However, it was stopped by a barrier of energy.
Although the small flame was capable of surviving in the starry sky, if it flew at its full speed towards the sun, it would probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach the sun's surface.
Therefore, as the energy shield completely enveloped the two of them and the beast, they transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the sun!
"Ssssssss!"
The small flame was so excited that it became a bit frenzied.
Even though the energy shield reduced its perception of the outside world, at this moment, the small flame still felt its flames slowly boiling as it approached the sun.
Su Ping also eagerly watched the distant sun.
He had even started to wait.
Previously, after defeating the Corpse Emperor and refining it into the Soul of Fire, the small flame's cultivation level skyrocketed from Emperor Grade 4 to Emperor Grade 7!
Along with its master, Su Ping, who was connected to it through a soul contract, also advanced and broke through to Emperor Grade 8.
Now, after refining the Solar Fire, Su Ping wondered if there would be another dramatic and terrifying advancement.
Su Ping didn't know, but he couldn't help but feel excited as well.
However, he didn't know how close they needed to get to absorb the Solar Fire, so he could only keep trying. He looked at the Divine Dragon Legend beside him, who naturally understood his intention.
Soon, their speed began to slow down slightly.
At this moment, they reached the outermost layer of the sun, or what could be considered the most dangerous and terrifying part of the sun.
Not the core, but the corona.
Through the energy conversion of the corona, Su Ping successfully completed the unified energy conversion for Old Sha, evolving him into a special evolutionary form known as the Corona Wolf Lord."
The corona, separate from the sun, possessed a terrifying intensity comparable to the sun's core.
However, the small flame shook its head and made a hissing sound.
It didn't even bother to carefully sense anything.
Because this corona layer didn't belong to the Great Sun Flame.
Instead, it was a wave of energy, powerful yet unable to be absorbed.
If the small flame tried to absorb this Solar Fire, there would only be one outcome: complete assimilation.
As they stood still, the cleansing of their spirit power propelled them into a spatial leap, and when they reappeared, Su Ping had already seen the familiar light screen.
The surface of the sun!
This time, the little flame sensed it and excitedly hissed.
It was evident that this was the right place.
Su Ping wasn't disappointed; the refinement of this flame didn't depend on how deep one ventured into its core.
This was different from Lao Sha's experience, where the focus was on the absolute conversion of energy, and understanding the fundamental energy transformations was crucial.
That's why it was necessary to reach the true core of the sun.
However, the sun's flame was merely a manifestation of its energy, a pure display of its concentrated power.
By absorbing this flame, the little flame could fully grasp its formation, power, and characteristics.
There was no need to delve into the intricacies of energy conversion.
These were two entirely different cultivation paths.
Su Ping understood this.
In this world of endless radiance, the little flame slowly emerged from the energy shell, gradually freeing itself.
The temperature on the sun's surface was terrifying, but it wasn't unbearable.
The little flame, though slightly uncomfortable, found its flame-forged body leaping with joy.
The fusion of flames ignited its energy, causing it to burst forth.
Without wasting time, the little flame realized that the concentration of flames here was different from the previous battles.
The tempering of the soul flame and the grand, radiant, and intense flames of the sun were distinct.
In this place, filled with infinite flames, there was no need for discernment; everything was bathed in golden light.
Amidst this golden world, a fiery red streak appeared.
This streak quickly formed a vortex, and the endless golden flames desperately rushed towards it.
The little flame opened its mouth, and in the glow of the golden light and the immersion of energy, they squinted and clearly saw that within the little flame's peculiar elemental body, an orange-red core, the heart of the vortex, was absorbing the flames.
It wasn't the little flame's bird-like form absorbing the flames; it was the core within it.
Refining and absorbing the countless flames on the sun's surface.
Even with the spiritual shield's obstruction, Su Ping felt that as the sun's fire devoured and absorbed, the temperature around him seemed to drop significantly.
Through the fading golden light, he saw a deeper core beneath the sun.
Impressive!
And this was just the Emperor Grade.
It already had such an impressive absorption effect.
If the grade were to advance further, what if it were to be raised even higher? Could it directly absorb all the flames on the sun's surface?
Of course, even if it were to absorb all the flames, the sun's heat and energy would regenerate in no time. These flames would 'grow' again.
The entire sun was like a giant, magnified ten thousand times, ready to satisfy the little flame's appetite.
It could eat as much as it wanted.
Even Su Ping was awe-struck as the sun's flames, like a whale sucking up water, rapidly rushed towards the vortex of flames.
The little flame's radiance became increasingly dazzling, so bright that it was almost impossible to keep their eyes open.
It was as if a miniature version of the sun had appeared beside the real one.
Then, Su Ping finally felt a familiar sensation!
Indeed, the feedback from the soul contract connection was back.
Su Ping pursed his lips, focusing on stabilizing his spirit power. His advancement hadn't slowed down since reaching the Emperor Grade; instead, it had shown an increasing tendency to accelerate.
In the end, he had only reached the Emperor Grade last year after leaving the Celestial Tomb, and now, half a year had passed.
Now, he had already reached the eighth stage of the Emperor Grade.
In just half a year, could it be that he had advanced from the Monarch Grade to the Holy Spirit Level?
Throughout history, how many had achieved such a feat?
He didn't know, so if possible, he still wanted to stabilize his cultivation speed. Unfortunately, the little flame beside him, in a certain sense, refused to cooperate.
The terrifying soul feedback he experienced was just the beginning; what followed was truly astonishing.
Just as he had guessed, absorbing the Soul Flame caused the little flame to directly devour and refine a Holy Spirit Level existence, causing it to surge through three cultivation stages at once.
Now, these golden Sun Flames, although not a complete Holy Spirit Level, were far more vast and magnificent than a single Holy Spirit Level existence.
So, as the fire seed continuously spun and strengthened, the little flame's cultivation began its familiar surge.
Beside him, the Divine Dragon Legend watched this scene with great interest.
Compared to Sufen, although he didn't have the soul connection's perception and feedback, his formidable spirit power allowed him to discern the situation with reasonable accuracy.
In his gaze, the strange core of the flame was absorbing this fire, and within it, a faint blue flame dwelled at its heart.
This Sun Flame, after being refined and fused, appeared at the edge of the fire seed, forming a peculiar golden shell, making the fire seed even more translucent.
"Fire seed?"
The Divine Dragon Legend smacked his lips with interest, his eyes lighting up with a thought. A smile appeared on his face.
Sufen didn't know what he was thinking; he only knew that the little flame had finally taken that crucial step!
The eighth stage of the Emperor Grade!
Finally, amidst the terrifying absorption and refinement of the Sun Flames, the little flame's cultivation increased once more.
From the seventh stage of the Emperor Grade after refining the Soul Flame, it advanced further.
However, unfortunately, this progress continued.
As the refinement became more effortless, and as the flames burned incessantly, the golden flames, formed from the absorbed energy, gradually condensed together.
The little flame's advancement speed was now even faster than before.
Soon, the energy fluctuations of the ninth stage of the Emperor Grade erupted as the little flame absorbed the Sun Flames and its body gradually grew larger. Finally, without any surprises, it broke through.
At this moment, Sufen, who had been holding his breath until his face turned red, could no longer contain himself.
Under the strange gaze of the Divine Dragon Legend, he finally exhaled a long breath, and the ripples of his spirit power suddenly spread out.
The spiritual fluctuations of the ninth stage of the Emperor Grade instantly expanded.
The Divine Dragon Legend spoke through his spirit power:
"Do you have to exert so much force just to break through a small cultivation stage? Sufen, when it comes to breaking through, it's about letting things take their natural course. With your talent and potential, your future advancement to the Legend Grade is a certainty. There's no need to be so anxious!"
Sufen gave the Divine Dragon Legend a speechless look and replied through his spirit power:
"Divine Dragon, you've misunderstood. I'm not forcing a breakthrough; I wanted to suppress it and didn't want to advance too quickly, but I couldn't hold it back..."
"..."
The Divine Dragon Legend gave the smelly kid a speechless glance and couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention. Instead, he turned his gaze back to the little flame.
The absorption of the golden flames had already slowed down from its previous fastest speed.
The little flame's bird-like form had grown from the size of a hawk to the size of a golden phoenix.
However, its entire body was engulfed in flames, and the wings that emerged from the molten fire were tinged with a faint crimson gold, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
It had never evolved, and for the little flame, evolution was unnecessary.
The Fire Lord's divine split, its racial limit, was the Legend Grade!
Ordinary pet beast evolution held no significance for it!
Finally, under Sufen's speechless gaze, the little crimson gold creature, amidst the piercing cry of the sun, was enveloped in golden-red flames.
Within the fusion of the Sun Flames and its own flames, in a world of infinite temperature and heat, the little flame advanced to the apex of the Emperor Grade.
It had achieved the feat of surpassing its predecessors and became the first pet beast among all those he had personally cultivated to reach the pinnacle of the Emperor Grade.
