SWNOVELXO Chapter 63: The True Inheritance
Li Ran pushed the [Miragefree Sight] to its limit, searching the hall for half a day.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to search for it, he couldn’t find any secret mechanism that the key they got can be used for.
“So how exactly is this key used?”
Li Ran carefully examined the bronze key in his hand.
The diameter of the key was about the size of his palm, presenting an overall dark green color, with intricate and delicate patterns on it, seemingly hiding some ancient secret.
Li Ran infused his spiritual energy into it absentmindedly.
Buzz!
The key suddenly trembled, its dark green skin constantly peeling off, emitting a flame-like glow.
At the same time, Li Ran’s spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, continuously absorbed by the key.
“What the fuck?!”
Just as he felt he was about to be drained dry, the green skin completely peeled off, and he disappeared instantly.
Seeing the empty hall, Yue Jianli looked bewildered.
“What… just happened?”
…
Elsewhere.
Li Ran opened his eyes again, finding himself in a vast space.
And the sight that greeted him is not the image of a girl in the middle of an empty hall, instead, it’s a sea of magma with roaring fire spewing out of the sea.
The fiery magma surged, occasionally spewing out streams of fierce fire. The strong smell of sulfur in the air, combined with the extreme heat, made it difficult for him to breathe!
And in the midst of the magma, a lone raging flame was suspended in the air, despite being fire like the rest, anyone with a pair of an eye can see that it’s nothing compared to its kin.
As for why? Well, it’s because the fire is Golden and it’s Shining.
Li Ran’s pupils contracted in surprise, “It’s actually a Heavenly Flame!”
The flames condensed by cultivators are called Spirit Flames, while Heavenly Flames are born from the combined energy of heaven and earth, with power far surpassing that of Spirit Flames.
Heavenly Flames not only can refine superb elixirs, used to refine great weapons with supernatural power, but also greatly enhance a cultivator’s combat power.
All cultivators are extremely eager for a chance to obtain one of them.
However, Heavenly Flames, despite their allure, also come with fatal dangers.
If one’s strength is not strong enough to forcibly subdue it, they may very well die on the spot, turned to ashes.
…
Li Ran flew up and arrived in front of the Heavenly Flame.
The golden flame flowed slowly in the void like liquid.
The powerful aura emanating from it made Li Ran’s heart palpitate involuntarily!
“It’s Golden and looks like flowing water— If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Blazing Sky Flame.”
It was said to be the Heavenly Flame controlled by Emperor Fen Tian, capable of burning even the Dao Law of the world into ashes.
“So this is his true inheritance,” Li Ran realized.
In this space, besides the Blazing Sky Flame and the endless sea of magma, there was nothing else.
As for the key that he had used to enter this space, it disappeared after he used it.
The meaning was simple:
Anyone who had used the key must tame the Blazing Sky Flame, otherwise, they would be scorched to death by its heat.
“Man, that guy sure is ruthless, it’s an all or nothing gift!”
Li Ran, unable to find any other way out, reluctantly wrapped his right hand with the [Demonic Light-Dispelling Fist] and cautiously reached out to touch the Heavenly Flame.
In the instant of contact, the white light of the [Demonic Light-Dispelling Fist] was instantly destroyed.
The violent Heavenly Flame surged into his body, rushing through his meridians and internal organs, burning them madly.
Li Ran endured the excruciating pain, activating the primary ability of the Heaven-Seizing Art: Assimilation!
Golden ancient seal characters emerged, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the Blazing Sky Flame. They clashed incessantly, each refusing to yield.
But Li Ran suffered.
The Heavenly Flame burned his meridians, only to be swiftly restored by the Heaven-Seizing Art.
Burned, restored, burned, restored…
The unbearable pain made him wish he could faint immediately.
However, the powerful ability of the Heaven-Seizing Art kept him conscious.
After an unknown period, the brutal confrontation quietly stopped, and Li Ran’s numb eyes gradually regained their vitality.
His clothes had long been burned clean, his muscles swelled, and golden divine patterns crawled all over his body.
With every breath, bursts of white mist were exhaled!
Li Ran clenched his fists, feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body, unable to help but sigh with relief!
“How refreshing!”
This fierce confrontation completely reshaped his meridians.
Both the condensation of his spiritual energy and his recovery speed were several times faster than before!
But most importantly, there was a golden flame pattern in the palm of his right hand.
Li Ran gently pressed his right hand against the rock wall.
Boom!
Golden flames spewed out, instantly evaporating the entire rock wall!
“So powerful!” Li Ran couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
The power of the Heavenly Flame would increase with the strength of its controller. When he reached a higher realm, how terrifying would its power be?
Suddenly, the entire space trembled, huge rocks falling one after another, and magma surging up like a fountain.
“Oh crap! The secret realm is about to collapse!”
Li Ran’s palm erupted with intense flames, and his figure disappeared instantly.
…
On the other side, Yue Jianli floated in the air, staring blankly at the collapsing palace in front of her.
‘What’s happening?’
Boom!
The entire space suddenly collapsed, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Just at this moment, Li Ran’s figure suddenly appeared and pulled her into his arms.
Yue Jianli looked up, her mouth slightly open.
She saw a huge and majestic golden giant, holding up the entire dome, firmly protecting the two of them underneath.
