Chapter 1183 - 811: Controlling the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit

Zhang Chen was taken aback by the words, never expecting such twists and turns, but upon reflection, it made sense. The power of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit is so defiant that subduing it would be extremely difficult.

Unless it’s bound before it transforms, attempting to subdue such a Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit might require the resurrection of the Pangu Saint.

However, at this moment, a doubt arose in Zhang Chen’s mind. The birth of The Queen Mother of the West was far too early; she must have emerged before the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s era to have time to cultivate and refine the chains that could trap the Fire Spirit.

The Queen Mother of the West must have transformed long before the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, when the Fire Spirit had not yet developed intelligence or transformed, otherwise, how could the Fire Spirit be easily captured?

Fire, by nature, is fierce and would never bear humiliation or retreat. If flames had spirituality, they would never submit to The Queen Mother of the West.

"How did The Queen Mother of the West transform so much earlier than you?" Zhang Chen asked, voicing his inner doubt.

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit immediately cursed: "Who knows why that crazy woman transformed so early; she’s simply not from this era."

After cursing, the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit turned to Zhang Chen and spoke enticingly, "Boy, if you choose to cooperate with me now and release me, I will ensure your future achievements aren’t inferior to those of The Queen Mother of the West."

Zhang Chen glanced at the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, his eyes shifting cunningly, the dice in his sleeve continuously rotating, a mysterious power swirling around him: "Ancestor, do you dare to gamble with me?"

"How do we gamble?" the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit asked.

As the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s words fell, an inexplicable power flowed between Zhang Chen and the Fire Spirit, linked by the dice, connecting them.

"The wager is whether you can burn me! If you manage to injure me, I’ll unconditionally assist you in escaping, even help you suppress The Queen Mother of the West. If you can’t burn me, I ask you to kindly become my natal Spiritual Fire, how about that?" Zhang Chen smiled as he spoke.

"You truly don’t know your limits, daring to target me, the ancestor. Your appetite is indeed not small. Fine, I’ll gamble with you once to crush your hopes! Truly think just by relying on that pearl, you can oppose my power? Your Ice Domain indeed has some tricks, but it can’t withstand a single flame from me, you foolish boy. Today, I’ll show you my might, make you understand I’m no pushover, and let you know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth," the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit scoffed, filled with contempt.

Thus, the gamble was established, the dice in Zhang Chen’s sleeve transformed into a contract text, disappearing into the void.

Looking at the flame barrier, Zhang Chen activated the Authority of the Five Elements, and the next moment, he walked directly towards the flame barrier without expression.

"Boy, do you want to die? If you die, who’s going to release me?" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit saw Zhang Chen boldly approaching and couldn’t help but be startled. It immediately reacted, "You think since I want to use your power to escape, I won’t harm you, don’t you? You, ant, are simply delusional! Even if I burn you to death and lose my escape chance, I won’t become your natal Spiritual Fire. Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish, and let you understand that divine majesty cannot be insulted!"

As Zhang Chen walked closer, the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s gaze turned icy, not restraining its divine power, allowing it to radiate, even if it meant turning Zhang Chen into ashes, willing to forsake its escape.

"Even The Queen Mother of the West can’t make me submit, do you, insignificant ant, think you can?" the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s voice was icy. "Boy, if you want to bet on this, you’ll only lose miserably."

As its words fell, Zhang Chen was already at the barrier, stepping inside without hesitation. Within the barrier, the searing power was overwhelming, yet it posed no harm to Zhang Chen.

"How is this possible? You almost died from the barrier just now, and now you’ve entered my domain unharmed?" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit saw Zhang Chen perfectly fine before it, and was stunned, seemingly unable to believe its eyes.

"What does the ancestor think?" Zhang Chen stood before the seven-colored flames, smiling as he asked.

The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit snapped back, coldly humming, "The temperature inside the barrier is but the leftover warmth I emitted. My real temperature is from my true body. Our gamble involves being burned, which you have not yet truly touched."

The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit spoke disdainfully, "The temperature of my true body isn’t comparable to the mere outer flames. If you reconsider now, it’s still possible, otherwise... when you touch my true body later, I won’t hold back."

Before finishing its words, Zhang Chen reached into the flames, directly touching the true body of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, yet the flames could do nothing to Zhang Chen.

At this moment, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but sigh, his Authority of the Five Elements was truly monstrous, the Power of the Five Elements in heaven and earth couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

"How is this possible?" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit was stunned, its eyes blankly staring at Zhang Chen’s unharmed arm, filled with disbelief.

In the next moment, the seven-colored flames around the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit surged, sweeping towards Zhang Chen, intending to refine him to death completely.

"Boy, even if I am trapped here, losing the chance to escape, I will never be a slave!" The voice of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit was filled with killing intent, as it enveloped Zhang Chen with its seven-colored flames, intending to refine him to death. But as Zhang Chen willed in his heart, the flames encasing him retreated as though in time reversal, reforming into a fist-sized fire.

Zhang Chen touched the body of the opposing spirit at this moment and only then saw its true form. Surprisingly, the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit was just like a ’Spiritual Treasure’ in Honor of Kings, a cute, charming little spirit draped in a seven-colored cloak, looking incredibly adorable.

"Impossible! How could this be!" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit felt its world spinning, its mind buzzing, and its voice filled with disbelief.

"How about this move of mine, my ancestor? Are you willing to concede?" Zhang Chen asked, his voice full of comfort.

"Dream on! You, a mere acquired ant, dare to enslave me? I will never surrender to you, so give up on this idea." The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit angrily retorted, its voice full of mockery.

"Haha, it’s not up to you, my ancestor!" Seeing the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit wanting to renege, Zhang Chen was not flustered. He merely chuckled lightly, and in the next moment, the Power of Contract was summoned from the void. Zhang Chen’s Primordial Spirit automatically formed a mark, flying towards the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit.

"What kind of ghostly thing is this!" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, seeing the approaching Primordial Spirit mark, sensed something amiss and desperately tried to dodge it. However, it could not evade Zhang Chen’s Power of Contract, which was the conceptual Law of Cause and Effect, directly following the cause and effect into the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s body, imprinting itself within and under the Power of Contract’s influence, instantly taking total control over the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s power.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen murmured to himself, his Power of Contract was indeed formidable, sending his Primordial Spirit’s imprint into the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit’s body and refining it completely.

"Impossible! This is impossible! What kind of power is this? What have you done to me?" The voice of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit was filled with disbelief, its big, cute eyes staring fixedly at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, stretching out his hand to catch it. No matter how the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit struggled, it couldn’t escape Zhang Chen’s grasp.

"You are now refined by me, becoming my natal Spiritual Fire. I advise you to restrain your divine power and accept reality." Zhang Chen stroked the body of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, which was soft and rubbery like jelly, feeling incredibly cute in his hand.

"What have you done to me? How am I refined by you?" The voice of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit was filled with disbelief, and its eyes were full of terror.

Normally, even if someone had more power or higher cultivation than it, refining it would take tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, how was it refined in an instant?

This kid is simply diabolical!

The innate Fire Spirit’s mind buzzed, finding it hard to believe its perception, as it had already fully integrated its Essence, Qi, and Spirit with the other, becoming a part of the other.

Zhang Chen looked at it and sighed: "My ancestor, you need to wake up. You have been refined by me. As for what means I used, that’s my last resort skill for survival, something I won’t tell anyone."

His gambling skills were indeed extraordinary, even the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit had no choice but to concede under the Law of Cause and Effect, this would undoubtedly be one of Zhang Chen’s greatest trump cards in the future.

"I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! How could I be refined in an instant? How could I be refined in an instant?" Its voice was filled with disbelief, and in the next moment, it tried to mobilize the divine power to kill Zhang Chen, but the divine power in its body was like a pool of dead water, unmovable.

"Have I really been refined?" The Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, its eyes blankly staring at Zhang Chen, was filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen sighed: "I really don’t want to erase your spirituality, nor do I want to refine you into an external incarnation, so don’t be ungrateful... if you continue to resist and refuse to accept reality, I will erase your spirituality and turn you completely into my external incarnation."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit fell into silence, its eyes reluctantly looking at Zhang Chen, finally taking a deep breath and saying grudgingly: "You win!"
