Chapter 224 The Primal Law of Fire Acknowledged
"Finally, we've slaughtered them all! That's great! That's great! Hahahaha—"
In a forbidden area of the Star Tower, the Minotaur Barbarian King, who had just annihilated another Immortal King, was laughing heartily.
Standing to the side, Bai Mo Wang's face was as cold as ice.
for a long time-·
The forbidden space was silent, just like the endless years that had passed.
Although countless experts gathered in the Star Tower and fought continuously, the peaceful times were obviously much longer compared to the numerous forbidden spaces.
"It's time to go back," Bai Mo Wang said, frowning. "Our appearance this time will likely attract many 'old friends,' and you've been too flamboyant."
The Barbarian King turned his head and asked, "So you've saved enough money? Which treasure are you going to buy for that kid Ye Yang?"
Bai Mo Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Buy what?"
"I'm worried that if he were sent out during his time as a domain lord, he might be attacked again, enslaved by his soul, and killed, and even reversing time wouldn't be enough to revive him. But he's already crossed the 19th island of the Illusionary Sea, and his ability to resist soul attacks is only one level below ours."
"If I wanted to buy a treasure that could further enhance his soul defense, I might have had enough at my peak, but now—never mind, he has already become the master of the Chaos City Lord, so we don't need to worry about that."
King Baimo added, "Compared to soul defense, this child is somewhat lacking in physical defense, so I plan to..."
Give him a "snail shell".
The Pupae Armor is a highly defensive suit of armor used by many immortal gods. When used by a first-tier Realm Lord, it can withstand non-soul attacks from those below the Immortal level without sustaining any damage.
Compared to soul defense treasures, this kind of physical defense armor is much cheaper.
"Alright, but recently the Star Tower has been showing a lot of unusual activity. Perhaps the 'Star-Sealing' is about to be released," said the Barbarian King.
"Suppressing the Stars" White Foam King narrowed his eyes. This was a treasure nurtured by the Star Tower, capable of suppressing cosmic venerables as long as one had sufficient strength, and driving countless powerful beings from billions of races mad.
Even for powerful figures like them who have reached the pinnacle of their power, these are treasures that are hard to come by and impossible to obtain.
"Alright, then I'll stay a little longer and try my luck."
The secret realm of heaven and earth, the core area deep within the Seven Flames Palace.
Whoosh~
The air currents swirl up, and the heat waves roll in.
Then, a large amount of green flames shot out from the passage, possessing the power to instantly char a ninth-level domain lord.
"Died again..."
On the edge of the core area of the Seven Flames Palace, in a relatively safe place, Ye Yang released his D-class spaceship and anchored it there, while the First Golden Horn Avatar and the original core quietly cultivated inside the spaceship.
As the first human clone died, it was quickly resurrected in the inner world.
"It's been four years since you came to the Seven Flames Palace, hasn't it?"
If you think about it carefully, time has passed so quickly.
A lot happened during those four years.
Ye Yang's children, a total of 6 in two batches, 3 boys and 3 girls, have been successfully born.
His research into the essence of the laws of time has reached the 40th essence of time, and his speed has stabilized at about 9 months to comprehend one of the mysteries of time.
The exploration of the Seven Flames Palace has already reached its core area.
Although the guide had warned Ye Yang beforehand not to enter the extremely dangerous core area, this only suggested that while this core area concealed terrifying dangers, it might also hold immense opportunities.
Ye Yang was confident in his ability to survive. He couldn't possibly encounter a soul attack comparable to the limit of the King or even the level of the Universe Venerable in a place that had been developed and explored by the Virtual Universe Company, could he?
As Ye Yang ventured deeper into the core area to explore and adventure, he gradually discovered some unique patterns in the eruptions of the Seven Flames Palace.
The Seven Flames Palace, which erupts with seven-colored flames about once a year outside its core area, experienced a sharp decrease in flame activity within its core area during this brief eruption period of a few days.
Ye Yang also found some precious special minerals with fire energy, worth about tens of thousands of Hunyuan, which was better than nothing.
The most precious things in the core area of the Seven Flames Palace are the many secret patterns carved on the walls!
They were all immortal-level flame techniques, some combined with spatial laws, others with the four laws of metal, wood, water, and earth. In Ye Yang's view, their average level was slightly lower than that of "Soul Imprint".
However, there are a few secret techniques and runes that are even more advanced than the "Soul Seal," indicating that they were definitely left behind by a powerful Marquis or even King-level immortal.
Ye Yang took a liking to one of the Flame Soul Secret Techniques and wanted to memorize it for careful study, so he had been going there frequently lately.
The flames within the core area erupt intermittently, with no discernible pattern in timing or direction, causing Ye Yang's clones to frequently die.
I only remembered 70% of that secret rune.
"Let's go again."
Ye Yang continued flying inside.
Two months later, rumble~
Explosions continued. The majestic temple remained unscathed from the impact of these explosions, but human flesh and blood could not withstand them. Ye Yang could only flee like a wolf, and he could not choose his own escape route. In this extreme situation, he ran to wherever the flames were weakest.
"The outer perimeter of the Seven Flames Palace is indeed at the level of a normal danger-level mission, but this core area is even more dangerous than the center of the Cloud Palace!"
After finally squeezing through a narrow passage and entering a huge hall, temporarily escaping the threat of the fiery energy behind him, Ye Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Comparing the route to his own notes in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh: "We're being chased further and further away by the flames, only to find ourselves deeper into the heart of the ocean."
He quickly rallied:
"This depth is quite close to the very center of the Seven Flames Palace. I've never been this deep before!"
"Perhaps there will be some entirely new discoveries."
Ye Yang looked at the empty hall and searched around. He found that apart from the narrow passage he had come from, there was only one other passage on the other side that was being consumed by orange flames.
"It seems I'm stuck here for now." Most people would be in despair at this point, but Ye Yang remained calm.
Since there's no other way out, I might as well sit down and continue my cultivation.
Seven months passed quickly, and he had thoroughly analyzed and understood the 40th nature of time.
Continuing with the 41st type—at this point, the tremors reappeared, but this time they lasted much longer, for a full seven days.
"The annual eruption is coming." Ye Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
Once this major eruption is weathered, the fire activity, large and small, in the core area will cease for the next few days, and the flames will only flow back after the outer eruptions end.
"Huh? The flames have disappeared?" Ye Yang suddenly noticed that the small passage leading to a deeper part of the passage was no longer filled with flames.
He raised an eyebrow and crawled inside.
The walls of the passageway still retained the intense heat of the flames, making people's faces burn.
Ye Yang's eyes widened as he passed through the passage.
"What is this?!"
After passing through the passage, a vast expanse of land suddenly appeared beyond.
In this world, the ground is covered with countless dark red rocks, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.
The countless rocks were all placed at an angle, their sharp points all pointing in one direction, as if they were worshipping a deity.
That direction is the center of this world, where there is a tall altar, and in the very center of the altar is a huge flame.
The flame flickered, radiating a unique energy and aura throughout the space, as if proclaiming some profound cosmic truth: "Fire!"
"This is the essence of fire!"
Ye Yang was shocked and quickly shook his head.
The situation is still unclear, so we can't get too caught up in it yet.
He cautiously looked around; the space didn't seem dangerous. Ye Yang then circled the central altar, and after confirming there was no danger, he looked back at the ball of fire.
Only then did we realize that it wasn't a ball of fire at all.
Although flames have no physical form, they do possess a certain amount of energy within them.
However, this ball of 'fire' didn't contain much energy at all, not even as much as ordinary flames on Earth. Ye Yang could even move freely through it without being harmed.
It was as if it were just a phantom.
But this phantom possesses a unique and profound artistic conception, expounding the great Dao of fire.
"This phantom of fire seems to possess an effect similar to the Chaos Monument?"
"Even the weakest Chaos Monument possesses the profound power to elevate one to the level of a Cosmic Venerable. But this phantom of fire contains no mysteries of the laws of time or space, only the purest laws of fire."
"In other words, comprehending it only means comprehending the complete fundamental laws of fire, which can lead to immortality. However, given the intensity of the flames outside, even a realm lord would find it difficult to reach this place; it is estimated that only immortals could arrive easily."
"Without immortality, it's difficult to enter. And even if you do enter, you can't stay; the moment the flames erupt, you die."
"But what's the point of coming here if you've already achieved immortality?"
Ye Yang laughed; this vicious cycle was really something.
This thing is a phantom, and the projection of this phantom is probably the entire Seven Flames Palace itself, so it can't be moved at all.
Otherwise, given the capabilities of those great beings in the human race, it would be impossible for them to let go of such a treasure that could greatly help future generations comprehend the fundamental laws of fire.
Isn't it a waste to leave it here?
But it just can't be moved, and its function is rather useless.
"That's actually a good deal for me."
Taking advantage of the brief period when the flames subsided, Ye Yang stopped comprehending the essence of time. All his clones shared the vision seen by the first human clone and began frantically comprehending the fundamental laws of fire.
To prevent future inability to re-enter, Ye Yang even spent 1 trillion Destiny Points to move the second resurrection point to this space.
As time passed during meditation, it became imperceptible, and soon four days had gone by.
Boom!
The flames surged back, instantly engulfing Ye Yang's first human clone, who was immersed in enlightenment.
The perspective of enlightenment vanished, and Ye Yang's many clones were stunned for a long time before finally slamming their fists on the floor: "Damn it! I haven't had enough yet!"
But the annual peripheral eruption period has ended, the flames have flowed backward, and there's nothing that can be done.
Over the next year, Ye Yang attempted to deliberately die and be resurrected in order to reach that space, but unfortunately, he was instantly burned to ashes by endless flames as soon as he was resurrected.
Normally, the intensity of the flames in that space wouldn't even last a few seconds for a true peak Realm Lord, let alone him.
We can only wait.
Nine months later, Ye Yang comprehended the 41st essence of time.
Two months later, having calculated the exact date, Ye Yang once again sent his human clone into the area. Following the previously recorded route, he died three times and spent nearly a month before finally reaching the safe hall.
This hall is only safe under normal circumstances; it is still a place of death when the flames return, so there is no way to hide here and withstand the return of the flames.
Continue to wait—half a month later, the flames on the other side of the passage disappeared, and Ye Yang entered them.
This time, he only spent three days comprehending the truth before the flames reversed, and he died.
Five years of exploration in the Seven Flames Palace have passed just like that.
Next, Ye Yang studied and analyzed the essence of time in his daily life, and every year during the eruption of the Seven Flames Palace, he would enter that space to comprehend the fundamental laws of fire.
Normally, one can comprehend the flame phantom for 3 to 8 days a year, and the time is uncertain. In the 11th year, Ye Yang was comprehending the flame phantom for the 7th time. The total time he spent comprehending it before exceeded 32 days.
On the 34th day, he suddenly felt something and his first Golden Horn clone looked up at the sky.
A dense and powerful aura of primordial laws descended, and red runes formed and swirled around the spaceship, spreading out in circles of fiery red light.
The intense fluctuations of the fundamental laws of fire are terrifying!
A fiery red drop of water appeared the instant Jin Jiaoye looked up, and then fell directly down.
