The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 519: Devouring Flame!

"Spirit-infused true qi can evolve?" Ling Feng was taken aback. He had never heard of such a thing before.

"That's how ignorant you are," the despicable donkey said as it flapped its long ears. "The greatest characteristic of flames is their ability to merge and devour. Other types of true qi can't evolve in this way, but flames can. Do you know what the ancestor of all flames is?"

"What is it?" Ling Feng blurted out.

"The Devouring Flame!" The despicable donkey said seriously. "Legend has it that the Devouring Flame can merge with all other flames, burn the heavens, refine the seas, and devour everything. Even experts at the Ancestral Realm may not be able to subdue the Devouring Flame."

"Uh..." Ling Feng was dumbfounded. "Such a terrifying flame exists in this world?"

"Consider yourself lucky. The first fire-attribute spirit-infused true qi you absorbed is the Fire of the Earth's Core. Although it ranks low on the list of exotic flames, it has the greatest potential for growth and can merge with all kinds of flames. When you refine the Earth-Fire True Essence and evolve the Fire of the Earth's Core into the Earth Vein's True Fire, you might even have a chance to recreate the legendary power of the Devouring Flame."

Ling Feng took a deep breath. This was the second time he had heard the term Ancestral Realm from someone else, and the Devouring Flame the despicable donkey spoke of was a flame that even Ancestral Realm experts could not subdue.

If he could truly control this Devouring Flame, who knows how powerful he would become.

However, reaching that point was still far off. But if he could evolve the Fire of the Earth's Core into the Earth Vein's True Fire, it would save him from having to search for new fire-attribute spirit items for another infusion.

"This Earth-Fire True Essence can be used to repair this divine beast's demonic core. Maybe I can return to the demon emperor realm!" The despicable donkey chuckled excitedly and shouted at Ling Feng, "Kid, let's go!"

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. This despicable donkey definitely had a huge secret. According to it, it was once a demon ruler level expert but had fallen to the demon emperor level. Only now did Ling Feng learn that the donkey's demonic core had been damaged.

Without further words, Ling Feng followed the despicable donkey and soon found a sunken cave. The entrance was narrow, barely wide enough for two people to enter at the same time. Ling Feng jumped in without hesitation.

Before reaching the bottom, a scorching heat assaulted his feet. The temperature was extremely high, almost like volcanic magma.

"It really is an earth vein!" The despicable donkey laughed. "How interesting, an earth vein space fragment appearing on the surface."

A space fragment was created when powerful beings shattered space during their battles. Ling Feng had only heard of such things but had never seen one.

However, seeing this earth vein space fragment proved that such space-shattering experts were real, not just myths.

The cave wasn't very deep. Ling Feng fell for about two or three minutes before reaching the bottom, where he found a very narrow cavern in which he could barely stand upright.

The despicable donkey had somehow shrunk to the size of a small dog and was eagerly rushing ahead of Ling Feng.

The ground felt thin, and Ling Feng could sense the flowing magma below. The rock layers emitted a flickering red glow, and the ground was covered with dense red lines, like a spider web, that traced the path of the magma.

Bending low, Ling Feng followed the despicable donkey through the narrow passage until they reached the end. There, he saw a small sunken pit filled with a shallow layer of magma-like liquid. The liquid bubbled continuously with scorching streams of gas above it that formed fiery serpents that exuded an aura capable of burning everything.

"That's it!" The despicable donkey almost screamed. "This is the earth-fire true essence! My goodness, there's so much of it. This time, this divine beast is really going to make it big!"

Ling Feng ignored the mad donkey, casually picking up a small stone and throwing it down. With a poof sound, the stone was instantly wrapped by the fire snakes formed by the gas streams and vanished without a trace!

These stones had been immersed in magma for years, yet they couldn't withstand even a moment of being touched by the fire snakes, signifying how precious and how difficult it was to refine Earth-Fire True Essence.

"Despicable donkey, this scorching spirit liquid can even melt true qi. How can I merge it with my Fire of the Earth's Core?"

Sweat streamed down continuously on Ling Feng's forehead in this high-temperature environment. He could easily collect all this Earth-Fire True Essence into his Five Elements Heavenly Palace, but fusing it with the Earth-Fire true qi would be a significant challenge.

"Hehe, now you know the importance of this divine beast!" The despicable donkey crossed its front hooves over its chest, ears flapping wildly. "Hahaha, beg me. If you beg, this divine beast might reluctantly tell you!"

However, before the donkey could finish speaking, there was a splash as a purple figure jumped into the Earth-Fire True Essence pool ahead of Ling Feng and the donkey.

"Wahaha, this feels great! This bathhouse is fantastic!"

Who else could it be but Zifeng swimming in the Earth-Fire True Essence pool?

"You little thing, how dare you snatch food from a tiger's mouth!"

The despicable donkey screeched and jumped into the pool with a splash, opening all its pores and frantically devouring the Earth-Fire True Essence in the pool.

Ling Feng frowned deeply. These two were impressive. They dared to bathe in the scalding Earth-Fire True Essence, but he was flesh and blood!

This pool, hotter than magma, wasn't something he could just casually jump into!

Watching the despicable donkey and Zifeng madly absorb the Earth-Fire True Essence, Ling Feng almost spat blood from frustration. Before long, the pool was almost empty.

Only then did the donkey remember its conscience. It chuckled, "Kid, this divine beast is in a good mood. I'll give you some bathwater!"

Ling Feng raised his middle finger at the donkey and said bitterly, "You're ruthless!"

"Don't rush. With your capabilities, this amount of Earth-Fire True Essence is more than enough. Besides, this divine beast didn't stop you. How is it my fault you didn't come down to soak?"

Countless black lines formed on Ling Feng's forehead. He felt the urge to turn the donkey into roasted donkey meat.

"Hehe, this divine beast will now tell you how to use the devouring ability of the Fire of the Earth's Core to fuse with the Earth-Fire True Essence." The donkey jumped out of the almost empty pool and chuckled, "Look, I left you so much. Don't be too touched!"

Ling Feng resisted the urge to punch the donkey and gritting his teeth. "Speak!"
