Chapter 53: The Nine Nether Dark Sparrow:
Su Changyu smoothly absorbed the soul power.
Thankfully, there was no backlash as it was refined.
Moreover, Su Changyu's solid foundation, supported by the Grand Dao Bones and the Nayuan Heaven Swallowing Scripture, allowed him to withstand the surge of divine soul powerfully.
About half an hour later, Su Changyu completely absorbed the divine soul power in the bead.
This allowed his initial Heavenly Spirit Realm divine soul to break through significantly, reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
"She is worthy of being the Primordial Spirit. I'm afraid her Nirvana realm cultivation and her divine soul power from the Heavenly Emperor Realm realm will scare many people to death."
"I made a breakthrough in a short period, but I have to continue to improve my strength."
Su Changyu closed his eyes again and processed Leng Yan's memories.
"So that's it... in the Zhongtian Continent."
Su Changyu found what he wanted.
Firstly, there was the Fire Manipulation Technique.
With it, one could easily refine the Source Fire. However, this process still had some conditions. For example, when Ye Yuan initially refined the Blue Lotus Fire, his strength was too weak, and he nearly died.
"I can let this thing be devoured by the Nayan Heaven Swallowing Scripture and absorb it." Su Changyu thought to himself.
The Nayan Heaven Swallowing Scripture was heaven-defying not only because of its immense power but also because it could devour!
Through it, one could devour other techniques to evolve.
However, ordinary techniques couldn't integrate into the Nayan Heaven Swallowing Scripture because their levels were too low.
In addition to this, Su Changyu also obtained another important clue.
Leng Yan naturally possessed a body as the Primordial Spirit was born in the Source Fire. And that body was the powerful Source Fire named 'Chaotic Annihilation Flame'!
According to Su Changyu's understanding of the Source Fire, this thing was no inferior to the Gold Emperor Flame of his Su Family in rank!
Initially, when Leng Yan fell into the Azura Realm and landed on the Zhongtian Continent. She used her last bit of strength to protect her divine soul and merged into the ring. After many twists and turns, Ye Yuan coincidentally obtained the ring. However, her original body, the Source Fire, remained on the Zhongtian Continent.
Although Su Changyi was aware of this, he needed to find out where the specific location was.
After all, there was always a gap between the information in novels and reality, especially the information on the map.
But after absorbing Leng Yan's memories, he knew the approximate location of the source fire.
"Master, I need to sleep," Leng Yan said weakly.
"Okay, sleep. When you wake up, it will be the beginning of another life," Su Changyu said with a faint smile.
Then, he looked at the temporarily sealed Green Lotus Fire.
He called Old Li to guard it and started to use Leng Yan's Fire Manipulation Technique.
This process wasn't difficult at all.
The Nayan Heaven Swallowing Scripture was indeed the most heaven-defying technique he had ever seen.
With that, Su Changyu completely mastered the Fire Manipulation Technique in less than half a day.
He looked toward the Green Lotus Flame that had been temporarily sealed.
Then, he extended his hand and began to absorb the Green Lotus Fire into his body.
Boom!
The seal around the Source Fire lifted, and its power erupted instantly.
But, it was quickly suppressed by the Nayan Heaven Swallowing Scripture. Before this extraordinary technique, the Source Fire was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing Su Changyu to refine and absorb it.
As the refining process continued, Su Changyu's aura began to surge.
Boom!
The scorching waves of heat were spread toward the surrounding area, making even Old Li startle in his heart.
"Young Master broke through the Nirvana Realm!?" If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I wouldn't have believed it.
"Young Master has such extraordinary talent. It won't be long before he dominates the Su Family and the Holy Land."
From afar, Zhuge Wanqing and the others were equally astonished, especially Zhuge Wanqing. She witnessed Nie Mengyao's death with her own eyes. But now, she had no bitter feelings in her heart.
[Zhuge Wanqing's loyalty has increased; you obtained 50 villain points]
[Ding! Triggered Destiny Event. Zhuge Wanqing submitted. Reward: Host's destiny increased and obtained 1000 villain points]
After the voice rang out, Su Changyou's aura gradually calmed down.
He opened his eyes, filled with bright flames and a terrifying aura.
"Congratulations, Young Master, for stepping into the Nirvana realm." Old Li said immediately.
Su Changyu smiled faintly. "A mere Nirvana Realm is far inferior to you, Old Li."
Old Li hurriedly lowered his head. "Young Master is so strong and domineering. He is ten thousand times better than me."
"Alright, let's move on to the main business." Su Changyu looked toward the palace.
He channeled the origin power and felt the Nine Spirit Palace core inside.
The Nine Spirit Palace itself was an imperial artifact. The former Master of the Nine Spirit Palace used great spells to conceal it, hiding many opportunities here.
The Nine Spirit Fire was one of them.
Su Changyu wasn't interested in anything else, but the Nine Nether Fire and the Nine Nether Palace were necessary for him.
"Old Lin, you stay here with your men, and no one should enter inside," Su Changyu ordered.
It had been some time since he had entered here, so those other major forces could be coming soon.
"Yes, Young Master."
Su Changyu led the others into the palace.
As soon as they entered the hall, they felt a stronger sense of pressure.
Zhuge Wanqing's expression turned solemn. "It is said that the Nine Spirit Palace is an imperial artifact unparalleled in power. But apart from that, what impresses people the most is the Nine Spirit Source Fire used by its former Master."
The Nine Spirit Palace was an inherited treasure, but as for the Nine Nether Palace itself, no matter how strong it was, it couldn't move the entire hall.
On the contrary, the Nine Spirt Fire was even more impressive.
Old Li quickly noticed the problem. "Young Master, something seems wrong. These fire beasts are born in the fire and should have no intelligence. But they are clearly chasing us as if they are being ordered."
Su Changyu nodded.
"Let's continue cautiously."
An organized attack suggested there was someone behind it. But Ye Yuan remembered that he wasn't attacked when he came here in the original plot.
About half an hour later, after eliminating countless flame beasts, Su Changyu successfully reached the core area of the Nine Nether Palace.
Pushing open the heavy bronze door, guided by the origin power, they entered the main hall.
The main hall was extremely spacious and covered with terrifying flames everywhere.
Giant pillars supported the hall, inscribed with mysterious inscriptions that still looked terrifying even after tens of thousands of years!
Chirp!
A sharp screech suddenly sounded.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Boom!
A hot flame came down from above.
Old Li quickly manifested a barrier and blocked the attack.
Su Changyu raised his head and saw a large bird covered with blazing flames flying over, hovering above the main hall and glaring at them.
This large bird was different from other flame-beasts; it seemed intelligent.
In the next moment, it let out a cry, and the flame beasts in the main hall rushed toward Su Changyu and the others.
Su Changyu realized. "It turns out this fellow is causing trouble. This thing is like a king in flames. Moreover, its aura is extremely powerful, even reaching the Transcendence Realm."
Zhuge Wanqing exclaimed, "This possesses a drop of spiritual intelligence derived from the Source Fire. It probably took shape with spiritual intelligence at least five thousand years old. Young Master, this winged beast should be the legendary Nine Nether Dark Sparrow."
The Nine Nether Dark Sparrow was a spiritual beast born between heaven and earth. Naturally, growing up in the Divine Profound Realm, its potential would be limitless and could evolve into the Nine Nether Phoenix!
Su Changyu chuckled lightly. "Hmm, I didn't expect to encounter such a spiritual beast. No wonder the Abyssal Devil Cave suddenly turned into a sea of fire. It wants to get out of here, but its power is not enough yet."
-To be continued!
