Chapter 190: New Flame, Two Flame, One Flame

’It seems like nothing has changed.’

Tyler couldn’t help but feel confused when he walked inside the Astral City. This place hadn’t changed a bit.

The side where the Grant Family lived hadn’t changed. Even the people were constantly coming out and going into Grant mansions and buildings.

It felt like nothing had changed, but whenever Tyler asked about the Grant Family, they couldn’t tell who that family was.

Even after talking to a member of the Grant Family.

While talking to the Grant Family member, the people would remember that person, but the surname Grant was changed into something else.

Even the Silva Family, which was supposed to be the Grant Family’s nemesis, had suddenly forgotten they had any opponents.

That meant the very idea of splitting the Astral City into two parts shouldn’t appear.

The Silva Family should realize that they only control over half of the Astral City and try to control the entirety.

But they were not doing that.

It was baffling, but it also reflected the true potential of his father’s technique.

True Freedom Technique didn’t just manipulate reality; it allowed the user’s imagination to do whatever he wanted.

This technique was only limited by its upper limit.

If this technique could reach Dao Level like his, it could genuinely change the fundamental rules of the universe.

At this moment, the Grant Family lived their lives as they should, but the world didn’t remember them.

And when they were reminded, it would only remain that way for a few hours, and soon, everybody would forget about them.

Even then, they would continue to have normal conversations like before.

After realizing the horror of that technique and the safety of his family, Tyler left.

He would return during the annual gathering of the family, but right now, he had more things to do.

He didn’t return to the Ice Dimension; instead, he found a place a bit far away from the Coastal City, near the borders of the Yellow Sand and Red Hogg.

Upon finding a spacious and empty place, he sat down, took out a metal box, and opened it.

A serene blue burning flame appeared inside the metal box.

When he saw this flame, Tyler didn’t hesitate to activate the Flame Devouring Technique.

The moment this technique was activated, he caught the flame and moved it closer to his chest.

The flame was sucked into his chest and entered his body.

The intense temperature of the flame tried to burn him, but the True Dragon Flame and Azure Flame inside his body activated.

They protected his body from the heat while also taming the flame inside his Mana Space.

During this time, he also activated the True Dragon Transformation Technique.

This flame was by no means weak.

The Serene Wave Flame was the flame that his father left behind. It was an Earth Rank Flame.

Without the help of True Dragon Flame and Azure Flame, he would’ve been seriously injured even with his high-level mana.

So, he planned to use the energy of this flame to cultivate the Fourth Stage of the True Dragon Transformation Technique.

The extreme heat, pressure, and energy from the flame began tempering the bones of his body.

At the same time, his body released yin-yang mana to reinforce the energy of the flame, healing the wounds left behind by this tempering.

After all, what he was doing was basically putting his bones in molten lava to temper them.

One by one, his bones began to grow stronger.

More importantly, the creaking sound of his bones also became louder.

The enormous energy from the flame and his mana began to uplift the hardness of his bones, breaking them and regenerating them.

The process continued for nearly two days until he finally stopped.

He didn’t stop because he was finished with the Fourth Stage of True Dragon Transformation Realm.

In fact, he had only completed half of the bones.

No, he stopped because the energy of the flame was completely devoured into his bones while the flame itself had merged with his Mana Space.

That meant he could now release three different flames: a red flame, a deep blue flame, and a light blue flame.

Each flame represented different powers.

Red Flame, or the True Dragon Flame, was explosive and domineering.

Deep Blue Flame, or Azure Flame, was solid and defensive.

As for light blue flames?

Tyler opened his palm, and the flame danced in his palm, forming two chibi figures of him and Daisy.

Within a few minutes, Tyler figured out the properties of this flame. It was malleable.

He could literally turn the flame into anything, from wings to puppets to even impressive bombs.

The flame hadn’t lost its heat. It was still as hot as the True Dragon Flame, only less hot because the True Dragon Flame hadn’t been improved.

Tyler wasn’t planning on improving the True Dragon Flame, but he was planning on merging the Azure Flame with Serene Wave Flame.

Coincidentally, his Flame Devouring Technique allowed him to do that without suffering any repercussions.

Of course, the best thing was the properties of these two flames.

One was rigid, hard, and solid while the other was malleable, soft, and squishy.

This made them perfect for each other.

If they were Heavenly Flames, he wouldn’t dare to merge them. Those flames were too powerful to be merged.

But these were just normal flames.

At best, the Serene Wave Flame was an Earth-Rank Flame.

So, Tyler planned to merge them first. Then, he would go to the Divine Fire Mountain one day and devour the flame from there.

Then, he would merge that flame with True Dragon Flame before merging that new flame with the combination of this flame.

This way, there was a huge chance he could get an actual Heavenly Flame.

Of course, he had not forgotten the flame underneath the Coastal City. He planned to devour that flame when his cultivation reached the Lord Realm.

After all, there was a high possibility that it was a Heaven Rank Flame. If that was the case, he would have two Heaven Rank Flames by the Lord Realm.

Then, he would be able to use the technique ’Heaven Exploding Buddha Fury’.

After all, that move was the combination of two flames, but the stronger the flame, the more powerful the flame lotus would become.

’Let’s go a little further away!’

Merging two different flames was bound to create more chaos in the surroundings.

If that Fishman felt the power of the Serene Wave Flame, he could come here to investigate.

That would be troublesome for him.

During the battle with the Dimensional God, he realized that any battle reaching the combat power of Lord Realm couldn’t be hidden from other Lords.

In other words, fighting the fishman with the flame would expose his strength.

More importantly, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the Fishman Lord without using his full strength.

Without thinking much, Tyler transformed into light and flew into the borders of the Yellow Sand Country.

This was a very large country, but it had a lot of deserts. Most importantly, those deserts made it impossible to have a large population.

So, he could just find a place with no population and start the merging process.

It took him less than ten minutes.

After finding an empty land that barely had a single tree and a thousand rocks, he sat next to one of the large rocks.

’Merging two flames requires me to merge the origin of the Flames. The Origin is the source that has merged with my Mana Space.’

’But the origin can’t be merged directly.’

As he thought about that, he started converting his mana into flames, generating them inside his mana space.

As two different flames were generated, he activated the Flame Devouring Technique and formed a special box with red energy.

This box remained in the middle of the mana space, and the flames kept pouring into the box.

His mana also began to get drained, but this drain wasn’t very big.

So, he kept transforming his mana into flames before letting the red box devour the flames.

He was quite surprised by what was happening to the red box.

It wasn’t just absorbing the flame. It was merging the flame and creating an immense source of heat and pressure inside the box.

The box was immensely dense and stable, but Tyler quickly realized he had to exert more mana to keep that box the same.

As time passed, more and more flame began to be produced.

Normally, this wouldn’t change much until the mass of the box started growing rapidly.

It didn’t affect the mana directly, but it started absorbing any heat signature within the Mana Space.

He realized it was attracting the origin of the flames that had merged with the Mana Space.

"Argh!"

Tyler felt a violent trembling in his Mana Space. Since it was now connected to his body through Mana Veins, he could feel the actual pain.

As time passed, the pain subsided, and the two origins disappeared from his Mana Space, merging into the red box.

Boom!
