Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

"I'll wait until I obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."

Xiao Jue told Xuan Yi a story.

"Do you know the origins, or rather, the identity of Tuoshegudi?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi was taken aback. As a figure from ten thousand years ago, she had only seen the name Tuoshe Ancient Emperor in ancient books, and knew nothing about his origins or identity.

Xuan Yi recalled the ancient books he had read and said, "As far as I know, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is extremely mysterious. No one knows his origin. Back then, the continent was full of heroes. Many people who stood at the peak were trying their best to break through to the Dou Di level, but in the end, no one succeeded. It was at that time that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, who had always been unknown, suddenly appeared."

"It is said that when the ancient emperor Tuoshe advanced to the Dou Di realm, two suns appeared in the sky, the heavens and earth collapsed, and an endless sea of ​​fire descended from the sky, covering nearly half of the Dou Qi Continent. This alarmed all the powerful figures at the time."

"After experiencing the earth-shattering scene of advancing to the Dou Di level, the ancient emperor Na Tuoshe disappeared again. Moreover, in theory, since he has advanced to the Dou Di level, his family members who share the same bloodline as him should also activate their bloodline power instantly, and their strength should surge to a terrifying level in a very short time."

"Those who enjoy the bloodline of the first generation of Dou Di benefit the most, so if a new ancient race were to appear, it would inevitably cause a stir on the Dou Qi Continent, but this has not happened."

The Dou Di Continent has always placed great importance on the continuation of bloodlines, especially for such peerless powerhouses, who need bloodlines to pass on their legacy. But why is this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor all alone?

Xiao Jue's expression was enigmatic as he smiled and said, "There are twenty-three different kinds of strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking, which are the most powerful flames in the world. But does Teacher know the name of the strange flame ranked first on the Strange Flame Ranking?"

Xuan Yi's heart trembled. The number one strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking was unknown to everyone, not to mention others. Even she, the shortest-serving master of the Pill Tower and now the number one alchemist in the Central Continent, had no idea about it, because the number one strange fire had no name!

There are twenty-three strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking, but the first place is completely blank!

No one knows what the number one ranked strange fire is, but strangely enough, many alchemists have a kind of intuition that there should indeed be something above that Void Devouring Flame, but they don't know it.

The first strange fire was like a mystery, mysterious and unpredictable, and no one could see it.

The man in black asked, "Do you know what the number one strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking is?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue's face broke into a strange smile, and he said, "In this world, what is there such a thing as the number one strange fire?"

This answer stunned Xuan Yi. She frowned, wanting to refute it, but suddenly realized that she really didn't know what the number one strange fire was. Could it be that the so-called number one strange fire was just a legend?

Her delicate foot landed on Xiao Jue's chest, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Stop keeping me in suspense."

Xiao Jue reached out and began to play with it, saying, "All things in nature have their own spirit, even strange fire is no exception."

"As far as I know, there was once a strange fire that was born between heaven and earth. It took a thousand years to take shape, ten thousand years to gather spiritual energy, and ten thousand years to cultivate in seclusion, which caused it to undergo some slight mutations in the dark."

"As we all know, once a strange fire is formed, it rarely leaves its birthplace on its own initiative. But this fire is different. After it gained sentience, it traveled along the underground magma and wandered there for thousands of years, living by consuming other fires."

"And the flames it devoured were all ranked on the list of strange flames. All twenty-one of them had been consumed by it."

Xuan Yi asked in surprise, "The ability to devour seems to be something only the Void Devouring Flame can accomplish, right?"

"Within the strange fire, it is like a miniature human empire. Even if you are born into wealth and hold a high position, you may still be overthrown and devour each other. This is an instinct for the strange fire, but generally speaking, it is mostly the strong devouring the weak."

"And this is what makes this fire unique. It knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune when devouring fire, and it prioritizes the weak. After it has spent thousands of years devouring twenty different strange fires, even the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which are natural overlords among strange fires, can only grovel and submit before it."

"The so-called number one on the Strange Flame Ranking has no specific name. Whoever can break free from the constraints and emerge victorious from the cruel devouring of strange flames will become the number one on the Strange Flame Ranking."

"However, the consumption of a different flame also has a very high probability of causing the two flames to clash, thus triggering a self-destruction. Therefore, only by successfully consuming the other twenty-one different flames and still surviving can one be qualified to become the so-called number one different flame."

"After achieving its goal, that strange fire named itself the Emperor Flame, and then cultivated for another thousand years before breaking out of the world."

"After Emperor Yan emerged from the world, he also acquired another title on the Dou Qi Continent."

"People at that time called him... Tuoshegudi!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Xuan Yi stood upright on Xiao Jue, her expression fervent as she exclaimed, "So you're saying that possessing all the strange flames of the Dou Qi Continent is enough to become a Dou Di!"

"No." Xiao Jue shook his head. "I only told you about the origins of Emperor Tuoshe."

"The ancient emperor Tuoshe was able to devour the other twenty-one kinds of strange fire by relying on a cultivation technique called the Burning Technique."

Xuan Yi was stunned. Burning Technique... wasn't that the nameless technique that Yao Chen obtained in the Light and Shadow Space, a relic left by the ancient Dou Di?

"The reason why Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was able to become a Dou Di is that after he became Di Yan, he entered the sealed land of the ancient Dou Di, killed the powerful beings left behind by the dark race, who were similar to the level of Dou Di, and absorbed the source energy to break through to Dou Di."

"In the current Dou Qi Continent, there are only two Origin Qi left in the Ancient Emperor's Cave, both left behind by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe."

"Now that I have devoured the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the strange fire within my body can transform into the complete Emperor Flame. When that time comes, I can give you the sub-flame of the Emperor Flame to devour."

Xiao Jue hugged Xuan Yi with both hands, in a posture like a child urinating.

"Even if it is just a wisp of Emperor Flame, it is a powerful strange fire second only to the complete Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, and it possesses the characteristics of all strange fires."

Xuan Yi couldn't help but ask, "So you gave up the Yin-Yang Technique and cultivated the Burning Technique instead?"

"Of course not." Xiao Jue, holding the black-clad figure, rose and fell slowly, saying, "I was just lucky enough to absorb almost all the strange flames in turn." (End of Chapter)
