Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The moment the light exploded, Lin Xuan felt as if he had been stuffed into a giant firework.

The temperature in the entire delivery room soared to its limit in an instant.

If he hadn't set up a formation to restrain it beforehand, this energy would have been enough to blast a huge crater in the backyard of the Pangu Palace.

The Holy Mother of Fire let out a final roar.

Immediately afterwards, an incredibly loud cry rang out from the flames.

The crying had a domineering quality, just like his mother's temper.

Out.

Lin Xuan caught the little guy that flew out of the flames.

It's no exaggeration to say he flew out; this little brat actually sprang out by pushing himself.

Lin Xuan looked down and saw a chubby boy.

Its skin was bright red, not the tender red of a normal baby, but a color that seemed to radiate from within, like flames.

The little guy was radiating a faint purplish-red aura.

He opened his big, dark eyes, and there were two tiny flames dancing in his pupils.

His mouth was wide open, and he cried loudly.

With each cry, a small ball of flame would burst from its mouth.

Lin Xuan quickly wrapped his cloak around the little guy.

Fortunately, his cloak was made of silk from the Chaos Silkworm, which had excellent fire resistance.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing. Your mother is still here; she'll be heartbroken if you keep wailing."

The little guy actually quieted down when he heard Lin Xuan's voice.

He tilted his head and looked at Lin Xuan for two seconds, then let out an "uh" and grabbed Lin Xuan's collar with a small hand.

The Holy Mother of Fire lay on the birthing bed, so weak that she couldn't even lift a finger.

But her eyes were fixed on the little dumpling in Lin Xuan's arms.

"Let me see...let me see him..."

Lin Xuan brought the child to her.

The moment Our Lady of Fire saw the child, she couldn't stop her tears.

"So ugly..."

"Huh?" Lin Xuan didn't react.

"He's so ugly... all red and looking like a monkey..." The Holy Mother of Fire cried and laughed at the same time.

Lin Xuan looked down at his son in his arms. Hmm, he was indeed a little red.

"They're all like this right after birth; they'll get fairer in a couple of days. Besides, this child takes after his father; he can't possibly be ugly."

The Holy Mother of Fire glared at him, but couldn't stop smiling.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Lin Xuan's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit has successfully given birth."

"Newborn data is as follows: gender male, suggested name 'Lin Chi'."

"Talent Detection: Innate Karmic Fire Body. Born with the ability to control the Chaotic Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, which can burn away karmic debts and is the ultimate manifestation of the Fire Dao."

"Cultivation level at birth: Peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal (physical body)."

"Companion Spiritual Treasure: Chaos Crimson Lotus Fire Pearl (Growth Type)".

"Born to receive the following rewards: Fire Element Law Advancement Fragment x1, Innate Spiritual Root: Crimson Flame Wutong Tree Sapling x1".

Lin Xuan's lips twitched as he looked at the system panel.

Innate Karmic Fire Body?

This kid's path is different from his twelfth brother Lin Yan's Burning Purple Flame route.

Lin Yan specializes in burning karmic forces, following a "precision strike" approach.

This Lin Chi is following the "wide-range destruction" route—the Chaotic Red Lotus Karmic Fire can burn anything.

Simply put, one is a sniper rifle, and the other is a flamethrower.

"Why are there more and more fire-type kids these days..." Lin Xuan muttered to himself.

Just as I was pondering this, a muffled clap of thunder suddenly sounded overhead.

Lin Xuan looked up and saw a large patch of dark, ominous clouds gathering above the blown-open roof of the delivery room.

The calamity cloud came suddenly and fiercely; it was a remnant of the heavenly tribulation triggered when the child was born.

Under normal circumstances, these ominous clouds will gradually dissipate.

But the birth of Lin Chi was too commotional, and the tribulation clouds gathered exceptionally thickly, and they wouldn't dissipate anytime soon.

Lightning flashed faintly within the storm clouds, which didn't look very friendly.

Just as Lin Xuan was about to blast away the tribulation clouds, the little guy in his arms suddenly moved.

Lin Chi raised his head, his two small eyes staring at the tribulation clouds in the sky, and opened his mouth.

A terrifying suction force burst forth from the newborn baby's mouth.

The thick, oppressive clouds in the sky seemed to be sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, and were being poured into Lin Chi's mouth!

The black clouds, carrying the remaining power of the heavenly tribulation, transformed into a black stream of air, which the boy swallowed whole.

The whole process took less than three breaths.

The tribulation clouds in the sky were completely devoured.

Lin Chi let out a loud burp.

There was even a wisp of black smoke in the burp.

Lin Xuan: "..."

Holy Mother of Fire: "..."

Outside the delivery room, the Virgin Mary removed her protective shield and looked blankly at the clearing sky.

"Where are the tribulation clouds? Where did that huge mass of tribulation clouds go?"

Yunxiao was also stunned.

Lin Tian led his younger siblings in and rushed in.

"Dad! Has the baby been born yet? Is it a boy or a girl?!"

Lin Wu shouted from behind, "If there are any guys, they'll learn to fight from me! If there are any girls, I'll protect them!"

Lin Xuan carried Lin Chi out and announced loudly, "Contestant number twenty-four, Lin Chi, reporting for duty."

Everyone swarmed around them.

Lin Tian stood on tiptoe to take a look, then pouted, "Another little brother. Dad, when are you going to have a little sister? There are too few sisters in the family; we can't even get enough for a fight."

Lin Yue gave Lin Tian a cold look: "What are you talking about? Don't you have many younger sisters at home?"

Lin Tian quickly changed his tune: "No, no, every single one of the girls is top-notch. What I mean is... the more the better!"

Lin Long leaned closer and sniffed Lin Chi's scent. After thinking seriously for two seconds, he concluded, "This little brother smells like a roasted sweet potato. But he can't be eaten."

Lin Huang lay on Lin Xuan's arm, his eyes fixed on the bright red Chaos Crimson Lotus Fire Pearl on Lin Chi's wrist.

"Dad, that bead on my little brother's hand is so pretty, can I have it?"

Lin Xuan slapped him on the forehead: "That's your brother's innate spiritual treasure, why are you trying to steal it? Isn't your own Five-Colored Divine Light better?"

Lin Huang shrank his neck, but his eyes still kept glancing at the beads.

Lin Xuan handed the child over to Yunxiao and Wudang Shengmu, who rushed over.

The two of them held Lin Chi carefully, afraid of hurting the little guy who was full of fire.

Fortunately, Lin Chi was quite accommodating, remaining quiet in the arms of the Holy Mother Wudang, and even his temper subsided considerably.

Lin Xuan walked back to the delivery room and picked up the Fire Spirit Mother, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Her face was pale, but she had a smile on her lips.

"You've worked hard." Lin Xuan kissed her forehead.

Then they carried her into the Moon Palace Wonderland to rest.
