"Wei Chen said, 'Whatever it is, just let me know.'
'I have analyzed it. This fire is too powerful. If I act recklessly, my soul could be burned to death. You and the Great Merchant God King, Shaohuang God King, Taihao God King, Sui Huang, Zhuanxu, and Agricultural Sovereign need to work together to attack it with spiritual power to weaken it. Only then can I take my chance,' the Great Xia Divine King said calmly.
Wei Chen nodded and asked, 'What do you plan to do?'
'This kind of Divine Vessel can only be controlled with secret techniques. I have a secret method that requires burning my Soul Body to create an aura similar to the fire, allowing me to merge with it,' the Great Xia Divine King explained.
Hearing this, Wei Chen frowned and asked, 'Is it dangerous?'
'Not really. It's either success or death,' the Great Xia Divine King replied indifferently.
Well...
Wei Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Great Xia Divine King was somewhat similar to him in personality. When doing things, why worry about danger? It's either success or death—two choices without much concern for danger. Just like Wei Chen's consideration of success probability: as long as there is hope, it's a hundred percent. Courage and confidence are crucial.
Just like the current Great Xia Divine King, courage and confidence dominated his mind; whether it was dangerous or not was secondary.
Wei Chen and the Great Merchant God King stood together with the others, silently gathering their strength. It had been a while since they had launched a spiritual attack, and everyone felt a bit out of practice. However, after a brief moment of gathering energy, familiarity and comfort returned. After all, they had been cultivating spiritual power before!
The Great Xia Divine King stood aside; only Wei Chen and the Great Merchant God King could see him. The Donghua Sword Immortal could vaguely sense something, but Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, was clueless.
'After thirty breaths, we will strike together with our full strength!' the Great Xia Divine King said in a deep voice.
Wei Chen and the Great Merchant God King nodded in unison; they began silently counting down from thirty!
As the countdown reached fifteen breaths, the Great Xia Divine King activated his secret technique. A flame erupted from his Soul Body, and by the time they reached fifteen breaths, he had transformed into a being of fire!
They could no longer perceive the existence of the Great Xia Divine King; he had become a mass of flames that closely resembled Azure Heart Fire!"
Finally, thirty breaths had passed!
Without needing a reminder, Wei Chen and the others had timed it perfectly. Their powerful spiritual energy attacks surged toward the Azure Heart Fire with great force!
If it had been a Divine Power attack, it would have had little effect on the Azure Heart Fire, but spiritual energy was its essence, making the impact significant.
Spiritual energy palms struck fiercely against the Azure Heart Fire.
The Azure Heart Fire seemed to explode in fury, expanding tenfold as flames surged toward Wei Chen and his companions.
Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, was taken aback. This fire could counterattack? Its consciousness had grown this strong?
Wei Chen and the others unleashed their spiritual energy, engaging in a battle of attrition against the Azure Heart Fire, willing to exhaust all their internal energy. Donghua Sword Immortal and White Out joined in the war of attrition alongside Wei Chen and the others.
Seeing that Wei Chen and the others were consuming the Azure Heart Fire's energy, Yue Songyang refused to be outdone and unleashed his Divine Power against it.
However, his Divine Power attack was completely ignored by the Azure Heart Fire. The lackluster assault barely registered with it; the Azure Heart Fire couldn't be bothered to pay attention...
Yue Songyang fully understood now: Divine Power was utterly ineffective against this Azure Heart Fire.
The attacks continued for several dozen breaths, and the Azure Heart Fire's counterattack began to weaken.
Then, the Great Xia Divine King transformed into a flame that matched the essence of the Azure Heart Fire and flew into it.
Wei Chen and his companions immediately halted their attacks; this was part of the Great Xia Divine King's plan.
Next, everyone watched as the Azure Heart Fire seemed to suffer immense pain, wildly soaring into the air before crashing down hard onto the ground. It flew up again only to crash down once more...
The Azure Heart Fire had lost its dignity as a flame, becoming a petulant brat—a fireball that appeared both violent and pitiful.
"Is everything going to be alright?" Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, asked with concern.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "I don't know. Our companion from the Ancient World has his Soul Body within the Azure Heart Fire. According to his method, it will either succeed or he will die."
Yue Songyang was taken aback for a moment, then a fierce light burst forth from his eyes!
Either it succeeds, or he dies!
It sounded like an ordinary statement, but the momentum contained within it was something few could achieve!
Yue Songyang finally understood why those from the Ancient World were so strong. Their Stellar Power cultivation method was crucial, but their momentum—the spirit of fearlessness in pursuit of their goals—was what truly mattered.
The people within the Endless Divine Realm lacked that kind of momentum. Under the oppression of the Bloodshed Shop, they struggled to survive, and over time, their spirit had completely faded.
Yue Songyang felt enlightened.
The Azure Heart Fire continued to churn wildly, and although Wei Chen and the others were anxious, there was nothing they could do but wait. The kind of momentum exhibited by the Great Xia Divine King was a victory in itself, regardless of success or failure.
Finally, after half an hour of tumultuous activity, the Azure Heart Fire began to stabilize.
Wei Chen, Shaohuang God King, and others who had come to assist, along with Donghua and Yue Songyang, anxiously watched—had the Great Xia Divine King succeeded?
As they observed, the shape of the Azure Heart Fire began to change.
The flame shrank continuously until it was only as tall as a person. Then outlines of limbs appeared, followed by the outline of a head...
"Success!"
Seeing that scene, everyone knew that the Great Xia Divine King had succeeded!
Having lost his physical form, only the shattered Soul Body of the Great Xia Divine King remained. After enduring countless years, he finally succeeded!
With a weary smile on his face, the Great Xia Divine King appeared before everyone.
This was a living person, not just a Soul Body that could only be sensed through Mental Strength!
The body was filled with the essence of fire!
The expert in playing with fire, the Great Xia Divine King, had relied on fire and the Azure Heart Fire within the Endless Divine Realm to reshape his body!
"Great Xia Divine King, how do you feel?"
"Does this body possess the power of fire?"
"How strong is your combat ability now?"
"Great Xia Divine King, you have finally endured the hardships and reaped the rewards. Congratulations!"
As everyone approached the Great Xia Divine King, they felt a burning heat emanating from him. His control over the fire was not yet complete; he needed some time to adapt.
"I'm fine. As for my combat ability, give me some time. Once I adapt, I'll know."
"Wei Chen, I want to go back."
The Great Xia Divine King looked at Wei Chen, his words concise.
Wei Chen nodded, and in an instant, the Great Xia Divine King vanished from everyone's sight and entered Wei Chen's True God World.
As soon as he stepped into Wei Chen's True God World, Killing God Senior flew over, marveling, "Great Xia Divine King, this body of yours looks incredibly powerful! Shaping your body with fire is truly impressive."
"Killing God Senior," the Great Xia Divine King said with a smile, "you could actually use my secret method to find a divine sword and reshape your body with it as a catalyst."
Killing God Senior replied, "Forget it. Divine swords are hard to come by, unless you have something like the Xuanyuan Sword from the Ancient World. The rest of the swords are not worth it."
The Great Xia Divine King did not press the matter further and began to meditate. He had just used fire to reshape his body, and he still faced some issues with controlling it. His combat ability was far from optimal; he was struggling just to walk.
Moreover, his soul was continuously enduring the burning pain from the fire, which was excruciating.
But all of that was worth it, wasn't it?
With a body like this—so powerful—once he fully mastered it, his combat prowess would be extraordinary! He could almost unleash most of the power of the Azure Heart Fire!
Even the strong from the Twelfth Level Divine Realm would not dare to act recklessly in front of the Great Xia Divine King.
Of course, that would only be possible after he completely adapted to his new body, which would take some time.
...
"Let's go back," Wei Chen called out as he took the lead in flying away. The seven formidable figures from the Ancient World quickly followed. Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, lagged behind reluctantly, clearly in a bad mood.
No matter how one looked at it, the fire had been his discovery; he had brought Wei Chen here. Yet, he gained nothing from it, and his frustration was palpable.
Wei Chen understood that Yue Songyang was upset, but what could he do? Compensate him? Wei Chen had nothing that could compare to the fire and thus could not offer any compensation. Besides, Yue Songyang was already at the Sixth Level Divine Realm; he didn't need Wei Chen's formation...
"Yue Songyang, thank you this time. I owe you a favor," Wei Chen said as they entered the Southern Ming Divine Domain and prepared to part ways.
Yue Songyang smiled lightly and replied, "Your favor is indeed valuable; I will remember it."
The favor from Master of Starry Sect held significant worth.
"Alright, you should head back now. Once I find a suitable Divine Vessel for you, I will let you know. The world is vast, and a Divine Vessel is something that can be encountered but not sought after; just go with the flow," Wei Chen said calmly.
"That's right, it's all about luck. Wei Chen, what are your plans next?" Yue Songyang asked.
"We will continue to recruit and expand our forces in preparation for the Bloodshed Shop," Wei Chen replied.
Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps you could try reaching out to the Supreme God of Surging Clouds. He has many subordinates who are strong at the Fifth Level Divine Realm. If they can be elevated to the Sixth Level Divine Realm, the overall power of the Endless Divine Realm would surge dramatically."
"Contact the Supreme God of Surging Clouds?" Wei Chen chuckled lightly. "Why wouldn't he come looking for me instead?"
Wei Chen was quite arrogant; there was no way he would take the initiative to seek out the Supreme God of Surging Clouds! It would only be worth discussing if the Supreme God of Surging Clouds came to Starry Sect first.
Yue Songyang shook his head with a wry smile and took his leave, flying away.
Wei Chen and the others hurried back to Dinglong Mountain.
After resting for a few days, Wei Chen, along with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity, quietly left Dinglong Mountain.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, have you thought this through? Helping you recruit people is not an issue, but the consequences could be catastrophic. We are about to go to war with the Bloodshed Shop, and we really can't afford any more battles before that," Wei Chen said seriously as he looked at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming high up in the sky.
