I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2053 The Origin of Fire
As he went deeper, the temperature changed again, and the scorching and violent force attacked again, this time much more fiercely. The flames swept in like a huge wave, as if to swallow everything. Liu Jun's skin was burned red, and the sweat evaporated instantly as soon as it oozed out, leaving a thin layer of salt frost.

Just with the foreshadowing of the first time, Liu Jun was prepared this time. He activated all the power of the phoenix and woke the little phoenix up.

It was as if a long-dormant power was awakened in his body, a power that came from deep in his blood, ancient and powerful. The little phoenix's consciousness was connected to him, as if whispering something, giving him endless power.

The little phoenix did not fly out of Liu Jun's body, but merged with Liu Jun again, so that a pair of fiery red wings appeared behind Liu Jun. This pair of wings was not a physical entity, but was made of pure flames. Every feather seemed to be burning, emitting a dazzling light. Liu Jun felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, as if the entire world of flames was under his control.

So although the violent force was stronger this time, with the full help of the little phoenix, Liu Jun was more relaxed than before. He spread his wings of fire, and his figure shuttled through the sea of ​​fire like a meteor. The violent flames seemed to have become his companions and no longer posed a threat to him. His speed was getting faster and faster, and the flames left a long tail behind him, like a burning dragon.

Liu Jun's heart was filled with lofty ambitions. Although this extreme fire space was full of dangers, it was a rare opportunity for him. He not only had to survive here, but also had to use the power here to make himself stronger. His goal was not only to break through this extreme fire space, but also to find his own way to become a king in this endless flame.

As he continued to move forward, Liu Jun discovered that this extreme fire space was not only full of violent flames, but also had an indescribable beauty. The color of the flames kept changing, from red to golden yellow, and then to deep purple, as if telling some ancient story.

A feeling of awe gradually arose in Liu Jun's heart. He had already understood that this extreme fire space was not just a test, but also a trial of inheritance.

The wings of fire fluttered gently behind him. Although the flames in the space were still changing, they had no effect on him.

While Liu Jun was tempering himself in the Jihuo space, the deputy general who brought him here, General Jihuo's younger brother, was also being tempered.

However, his tempering was real tempering, tempering in the literal sense.

General Jihuo stood at the entrance of the Jihuo space with a gloomy face. He held a hammer and smashed his brother away with it.

"Are you out of your mind? Except for the old God King, who else has ever been able to come out alive after entering this Extreme Fire Space? If anything happens to the Son of God, will the steward let our Extreme Fire Army go?" General Jihuo cursed while hammering his brother.

The other deputy generals were so scared that they dared not say a word. This was the first time they had seen General Jihuo get so angry. They looked at each other, secretly glad that they were not the unlucky one who was beaten. General Jihuo's anger was like the flames in the Jihuo space, burning fiercely, and no one dared to approach.

After fighting for a while, General Jihuo finally let go of his brother who was already bruised and bleeding. He glanced coldly at the deputy generals around him and said in a low and majestic voice: "You all remember this, some mistakes can be made, but there are some mistakes that you are not allowed to make."

The deputy generals nodded in agreement, and they were even more awed by General Jihuo. They knew that although General Jihuo was usually dignified, he had never been so angry. This incident had obviously touched his bottom line.

General Jihuo turned and looked at the entrance of Jihuo Space, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He prayed in his heart, hoping that Liu Jun could return safely. After all, Liu Jun was not only the Son of God, but also the hope of the future of the Palace of the Divine King.

At the same time, General Jihuo's younger brother struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of regret and fear. He knew that he had made a big mistake this time and almost caused a disaster. He stood aside silently, not daring to say anything.

General Jihuo took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said to his deputy generals: "From now on, strengthen the guard of Jihuo Space, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. In addition, send people to closely monitor the movements in Jihuo Space, and report immediately if there is any abnormality."

The lieutenants all agreed in unison and took quick action. General Jihuo looked at their busy figures and felt a little comforted.

Liu Jun stood in the depths of the extreme fire space. The flames around him were like dancing elves. Sometimes they turned into red lotus fire, burning all sins; sometimes they turned into Nanming fire, so hot that it seemed to melt the world; the ghost fire of the netherworld flickered in the darkness, carrying the breath of coldness and death; the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire was like a divine punishment from heaven, majestic and inviolable. Even the nirvana fire of the Phoenix clan was leaping in front of him, symbolizing the power of rebirth and eternity. Each of these flames was the king of fire, enough to scare any practitioner, but here, they were just the prelude to a trial.

Liu Jun was shocked. Although it was his first time to enter the Extreme Fire Space, he had read records about other fire trials before. Usually, this kind of trial would only choose one kind of Extreme Fire as the main body. If a practitioner could pass it, it would be enough to prove his extraordinary strength and will.

However, the scene before him completely overturned his cognition. Each of these flames was enough to be the ultimate test of the trial, but here they were treated lightly as a stage. What kind of existence was the creator of this extreme fire space? How could he gather these kings of fire together just to test a practitioner?
Although these flames made Liu Jun feel unprecedented pressure, he did not back down.

Finally, Liu Jun arrived at the core of the Extreme Fire Space. The flames here disappeared, replaced by a peaceful atmosphere. There was a faint warmth in the air, as if all the violence and heat had been restrained.

His eyes were also attracted by the scene in front of him - an ordinary candle stood there quietly, with a small flame burning on it. The flame was not dazzling, and even seemed a little weak, as if it would go out at any time. However, Liu Jun felt an unprecedented power. Although the flame was small, it contained an indescribable depth and vastness, as if it was the soul of the entire Extreme Fire Space.

"What is this?" Liu Jun frowned, his heart full of doubts and curiosity. He thought that the core of the Extreme Fire Space would be some kind of more powerful flame, but he didn't expect it to be such a seemingly ordinary little fire. However, he knew that in such a place, the more ordinary things are, the more complicated they are.

Liu Jun slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the flame, but stopped at the last moment. His intuition told him that this flame was not an ordinary thing, and touching it rashly might bring unpredictable consequences. He stared at the flame, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"Could it be... this is the true origin of fire?" Liu Jun murmured to himself.

He recalled everything he had just experienced. Although those fire kings were powerful, they seemed to be just a foil to this flame. Their violence and heat seemed to be to set off the tranquility and depth of this flame.

At this moment, the flame suddenly jumped slightly, as if responding to his question. Liu Jun's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt an invisible force coming from the flame, directly penetrating his body and reaching the depths of his soul.

In an instant, countless images emerged in his mind. He saw the birth of the flame, saw it burning for endless years, and saw how it became the source of all fires. He understood that this flame was not an ordinary flame, but the "Original Fire", the origin of all flames in the world, the ultimate of the Way of Fire, and the strongest fire born together with the Way of Heaven.

An unprecedented awe and excitement surged in Liu Jun's heart. He felt that he was standing at an unprecedented height, facing the most essential power. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the power coming from the flame, as if he was talking to the origin of heaven and earth.

"So that's it..." Liu Jun said softly, with a smile on his face. He finally understood the true meaning of this extreme fire space. It was not to test the strength of the practitioners, but to guide them to comprehend the essence of fire and the way of heaven and earth.

When Liu Jun opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at the entrance of the Extreme Fire Space. The scene around him was completely different from before. The originally blazing flames disappeared without a trace, and the air was filled with a faint residual warmth, as if it had just experienced the tranquility after a catastrophe. He looked down at his hands, and there was still a trace of burning in his palms, as if the power of the flames had been integrated into his blood.

In front of him, General Jihuo and others were looking at him in shock, as if they had seen something incredible.

As the leader of the entire Jihuo Army, General Jihuo was usually very majestic and composed, but at this moment, his face was full of disbelief. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just stammered, "You, you made it out alive?"

Liu Jun raised his eyebrows, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked around, sweeping his eyes over the stunned Jihuo soldiers, and finally landed on General Jihuo, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "What else? How about I go in for a while?"

General Jihuo's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and then he coughed dryly and waved his hand quickly: "Well, that's not necessary."

Liu Jun chuckled and said nothing more.

At this moment, Liu Jun is no longer the Holy Son. In the depths of the Extreme Fire Space, he has experienced countless baptisms of fire and has inherited the power of fire from the Heavenly Fire God King. According to the words left by the old God King, he is now the new Heavenly Fire God King.

General Jihuo obviously realized this. He lowered his head slightly, with a trace of awe in his eyes. Once, he was the leader of the Jihuo Army, and Liu Jun was just a saint, but now, Liu Jun has stood in a higher position and has become someone he must obey.

Liu Jun didn't say anything more, and turned to walk towards the Jihuo Army's camp. General Jihuo and others hurriedly followed, with a hint of nervousness in their steps.

In the tent, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Liu Jun sat in the main seat, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at General Jihuo. General Jihuo stood aside, his expression respectful, completely different from his previous attitude. He knew that the young God King in front of him was no longer the Son of God who could be treated at will, but an existence that held the supreme power of the Heavenly Fire Divine Realm.

Liu Jun raised his hand slightly, motioning General Jihuo to sit down. General Jihuo hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down respectfully opposite Liu Jun. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes, with both awe for Liu Jun and worry about his future fate.

"General Jihuo," Liu Jun spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "I want to ask you something."

General Jihuo immediately straightened up and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, please ask."

Along the way, he has completely put himself in the right position and even changed the way he addresses Liu Jun.
