Chapter 585: No Need to Seek Externally, It Is Within Oneself

Ye Chen gazed at the brilliant golden flame in his palm, his heart thrilling with excitement as a look of unconcealable joy spread across his face.

The Creation Sacred Fire. He had finally obtained it!!!

“No! This is impossible!!!”

High in the void, Tan Jingyu stared at the scene in disbelief. The usually composed and calm Clan Leader of the Xuanwu Tribe now looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Even Xiang Wei and the other Xuanwu Guards had never seen their Clan Leader in such a state, and they all froze in stunned silence.

Although they were unaware of the Creation Sacred Fire’s origins, they all sensed that the situation had taken a turn far beyond their control and expectations.

“Is that really the Creation Sacred Fire?”

Even the Realm Spirit stared at the brilliant golden flame in Ye Chen’s hand with a peculiar expression.

Despite all her experience, she had never seen a worldly wonder like the Creation Sacred Fire.

“That’s right.”

“The genuine Creation Sacred Fire, absolutely authentic.”

Ye Chen smiled and explained, “I initially thought that, according to the legends, the foremost condition to condense the Creation Sacred Fire was to gather the fire seeds of the Four Divine Beasts.”

“But it’s clear the Xuanwu Tribe was prepared for this. They placed a complex restrictive seal on the Xuanwu totem. Without any Spiritual Cultivation, I was unable to break it.”

“Just as I was thinking of a way to break the deadlock, I suddenly had an epiphany.”

“The Creation Sacred Fire is not something one must seek from the outside. It lies hidden within my own bloodline!”

“You mean… your Chaos Five Elements Body?” the Realm Spirit asked in shock.

“That’s right.”

Ye Chen nodded. “What I truly needed to do was use the totems of the Four Divine Beasts to awaken the potential within me.”

“The Creation Sacred Fire contains the power of creation itself, and its essence is the Power of Chaos.”

“It returns all to chaos, and from that chaos, it sparks the vitality of all creation.”

“All things in this world originally came from chaos. Everything was without order, and only through natural change and development did it all piece together into a tapestry of order.”

“Be it the land, the seas, the forests, the mountains, or even humanity… everything in this world came to be in this way.”

“Therefore, the Creation Sacred Fire was already within me. I didn’t need to seek it from the outside—I only needed to awaken it.”

“…”

Ye Chen’s words were earth-shattering. They were a revelation to the Realm Spirit and left the distant Tan Jingyu utterly dumbfounded.

‘No wonder… No wonder even after I gathered the fire seeds of the Four Divine Beasts, I could never manage to condense the legendary Creation Sacred Fire.’

‘So… so it wasn’t that I wasn’t capable enough.’

‘It’s that I never had the ability to begin with!’

‘Only someone with a Chaos bloodline can condense the Creation Sacred Fire!’

‘The Four Divine Beasts themselves were born from chaos.’

‘So of course the so-called Creation Sacred Fire is rooted in chaotic blood. It just needs a catalyst to be reignited, unleashing a divine radiance that illuminates the heavens!’

‘No wonder… No wonder the legends say you must find someone with a Chaos bloodline to condense the Creation Sacred Fire…’

‘It’s not that a person with a Chaos bloodline can fuse the fire seeds of the Four Divine Beasts into the Creation Sacred Fire. It’s that they already possess the fire, and simply need the power of the Four Divine Beasts to awaken it…’

‘The Chaos bloodline doesn’t awaken the divine beast totems… the totems awaken the Chaos bloodline…’

At this moment, Tan Jingyu finally understood everything.

It was as if he had forgotten that his great enemy, Ye Chen, was still within the Xuanwu Tribe’s territory. He looked utterly lost, staring into the void before him with a vacant gaze.

It was no wonder he was so devastated.

The obsession he had held for so long, only today did he discover it was all for nothing!

And in the end, the very thing he had desperately sought and failed to find was something someone else possessed by birthright. How could he not feel utterly crushed and defeated?

Only Ye Chen knew that even among those with a Chaos bloodline, his was absolutely of the Top Grade.

After all, the fire seed he was born with was the Chaos Divine Fire!

The Creation Sacred Fire was just a lesser substitute.

And to activate the power of the Chaos Divine Fire, he needed to find three lesser substitutes comparable to the Creation Sacred Fire!

Today, he had obtained both the Red Lotus Karma Fire and the Creation Sacred Fire—two great Heavenly Divine Flames!

He was now only one Heavenly Divine Flame away from completely awakening his Chaos Divine Fire!

‘Even the Four Divine Beasts are merely creatures born from the chaos.’

‘Just how powerful must the true Chaos Divine Fire be?’

Ye Chen didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like once he obtained the Chaos Divine Fire.

Still, being able to condense the Creation Sacred Fire for now was more than enough to satisfy him.

He could clearly feel his foundational essence and his injuries mending at an astonishing rate.

His Spiritual Cultivation, Divine Soul, and physical body were all advancing toward their Peak state, climbing ever higher.

The ferocious momentum was so strong that Ye Chen was certain his cultivation wouldn’t stop even at its peak, but would likely continue to climb to even greater heights!

Sensing the terrifying aura surging explosively from below, Tan Jingyu finally snapped out of his stupor.

A burning, covetous light suddenly erupted in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen!

‘Yes, Ye Chen has condensed the Creation Sacred Fire, but so what? I don’t regret just standing by and watching it happen.’

‘After all, only he could have condensed it.’

‘Now that the divine flame has appeared in the world, all I have to do is take it!’

‘That’s the Heavenly Divine Flame I’ve dreamed of, the one I’ve searched for for countless years!’

‘Once I have it, I’m confident I can take that final step and break through to the Void Realm!’

‘And now, while his strength has yet to return to its peak, is the perfect time to seize the Creation Sacred Fire!’

At this thought, Tan Jingyu could no longer suppress the deepest desires of his heart. He finally made his move!

An incomparably violent fluctuation of Spiritual Power suddenly filled the air. The surrounding void shook violently, like the surface of a placid lake struck by a stone, sending out countless ripples.

Within the Xuanwu Tribe, the faces of all the Cultivators paled in shock.

It was the first time they had ever seen such a fanatical expression on their Clan Leader’s usually calm and indifferent face!

“Creation Sacred Fire, I’m coming for you!!!”

Tan Jingyu let out a great laugh. He thrust out his hand, and a massive Palm Seal, like a meteor crashing down from the heavens, bore down on Ye Chen with an unstoppable, ferocious might.

‘Peak of the Divine Might Realm…’

‘Even though I haven’t fully recovered, this is more than enough for me to handle!’

Ye Chen calmly watched the nearly frenzied Tan Jingyu. He activated his Spiritual Cultivation, and countless illusory dragon scales materialized over his arms, emitting waves of a heart-stoppingly powerful aura.
