(T/N: Source fire -> Primordial flames)
Chapter 80:
Tianxing Cliff.
In the boundless fire domain covered by primordial flame, Su Changyu sat cross-legged on a rock.
His body was quickly absorbing the primordial flame through the Heaven-Devouring Technique and remained in this continued for nearly three days.
The power of the Chaos Destruction Flame was immense.
Even if absorbing it wasn't difficult, fusing it with the previous two primordial flames was much more complicated.
The difficulty between fusing two Primordial flames and three Primordial flames was worlds apart.
If not for the Heaven-Devouring Technique being so extraordinary, Su Changyu wouldn't have been able to achieve this at his current cultivation base.
"I wonder what kind of technique this kid is cultivating. It's incredible." Su Mo's divine sense monitored the situation closely and felt the Chaos Destruction Flame shouldn't be underestimated. He decided to intervene immediately if any danger arose.
"It's not a technique from the Su family or the Great Holy Sect. It seems to be from his master," Su Chen remarked.
"That master... I wonder where she's from. Her cultivation base is terrifying. I couldn't even muster the will to resist in her presence."
"Could she be the Supreme Realm expert?"
"Probably not. There hasn't been a Supreme Realm cultivator in the Azura Realm for ages. She might be from another realm. The world is vast, and the Azura Realm is just the tip of the iceberg. In front of true powerhouses, even divine-realm powerhouses are easily crushed. like ants"
Su Mo shook his head. He didn't know the extent of Su Changyu's master's power, but he was certain she bore no ill will. And if she did, the Su family's combined forces wouldn't stand a chance against her.
Soon, news of Tianxing Cliff spread in Beiying continent.
No one expected it to escalate into a battle between divine-realm powerhouses.
Even more surprising was that the Sect Master of the Ancient Moon Sect, known as the number one force in the Beiyang continent, intervened, but failed to save Tang Chuan's life. The number one genius of Beiyang lost his life to conflict, and the situation was hard to imagine.
The intervention of the Su family's divine-realm experts highlighted Su Changyu's importance. Especially their statement, 'Whoever bullies you, I will exterminate their entire clan,' left Beiyang cultivators in awe, realizing the importance of lineage.
However, with Tang Chuan dead and his imperial artifact taken, the Ancient Moon Sect wouldn't take this matter lightly. So, major clans and sects in the Beiyang continent were eagerly awaiting their next move.
Meanwhile, at Tianxing Cliff, Bai Jianyao still continued to stay during these three days. She planned to have a good chat with Su Changyu once he finished absorbing the primordial flame.
Because she had spoken for Su Changyu earlier, the two elders of the Su family treated her kindly.
In contrast, Bing Yao, who originally planned to assist secretly, withdrew after Ancient Moon Sect's defeat. She regretted it, realizing she should have taken Aunt Yi's advice and supported Su Changyu when Bai Jianyao appeared. This would have avoided facing the Ancient Moon Sect's wrath alone and established a good relationship with Su Changyu. Her hesitation and greed left her with nothing in the end.
"Miss Wu Ling, please have some tea," Su Jiuming offered on the flying boat.
"Thank you." Wu Ling took a sip, her mind still filled with the events of three days ago. Everything seemed unreal after the sacrificial ceremony.
"Miss Wu Ling, what are your plans now?" Bai Jianyao asked with a smile.
Wu Ling replied softly, "I plan to return to my clan. I came out to gain experience, and it’s time I return."
"When will you leave then?"
"I'll wait until Young Master Su has absorbed the primordial flame."
Wu Ling hadn't told anyone that Su Changyu had agreed to help her revive in exchange for taking him to the Moon Spirit Clan. She didn't know his intentions. But given his reputation, she trusted he wouldn't harm her clan.
Bai Jianyao nodded and said nothing further. She could see that Wu Ling and Su Changyu didn't a special relationship. His help likely had another motive.
Two days later, Su Changyu finally absorbed the Chaos Destruction Flame completely.
Although his cultivation remained at the peak of the Creational Realm, the fusion of the primordial flames had significantly strengthened his body. A strong physique meant a stronger foundation, leading to greater power.
Su Changyu noticed a change after fusing the Chaos Destruction Flame.
He summoned a small gray flame in his palm, which contained a terrifyingly destructive force and was capable of nearly destroying the surrounding space.
He realized that the fusion of the three primordial flames was triggering a dramatic transformation.
In the original novel, Ye Yuan fused multiple primordial flames and attained the supreme realm.
Although it seemed natural in the novel, it was a complex process. But, as long as he kept fusing primordial flames he would reach that level someday.
"Now, its time to open the box."
Su Changyu activated the Silver Explosion Rate Card and opened the Destiny Treasure Box dropped by Tang Chuan .
[Congratulations, host! Your luck has increased and the drop rate has tripled]
[Congratulations, host! Your luck has tripled and you have received a Heaven Dao Fragment 1, Physique Evolution Chance +1, Heart of Time 1, Villain Points +9000.]
"Only tripled? That's not what you call incredible luck," Su Changyu muttered.
He then examined the rewards. It wasn't a pure triple increase, but an overall value increase.
Judging from Ye Yuan's box, Heaven Dao Fragments and Physique Evolution were standard. Villain Points likely tripled from 3000 to 9000. The Heart of Time seemed to be the extra bonus from the increase.
"This thing is quite valuable."
Su Changyu didn't use it immediately, unsure of the reaction it might cause. It was safer to use it later.

Looking at the villain points over ten thousand, Su Changyu smiled.
Next, he only needed to enter the Heavenly Saint Realm, and then soar to new heights.
"It's time to go out."
He scanned the surroundings, finding nothing but fire, and then left.
When he returned to the flying boat, he was surprised to see Bai Jianyao still there.
Her intentions were quite clear; she stood up for him before and now stayed, not hiding her feelings at all.
But Bai Jianyao was the daughter of the Sword Gathering Sect's Master. With her status, even if Zhongtian cultivators had opinions, they wouldn't dare voice them.
"Thank you for your support Miss Bai." Su Changyu said with a smile.
"You're embarrassing me. I didn't do much," Bai Jianyao blinked and curiously stared at Su Changyu. "Did you guess the Ancient Moon Sect would send a divine-realm expert?"
"Not really. I didn't bother guessing."
"Then why did you call three divine-realm experts to come at once?"
Su Changyu responded naturally, "If there's going to be a fight, it's best to have as many cards on your side as possible, right?"
Bai Jianyao was stunned and then laughed softly. "Young Master Su is indeed... a straightforward person."
Divine Realm experts were rare and usually kept hidden as secret weapons. The more mysterious one's cards, the more hesitant the opponents.
