Baby with Daoist Monarch System

At the same time, the Ancient God’s Fire within her body had now fused with the flame seed of the Tomb of the Void, reaching an entirely new realm of power. She could feel her Fire was more closely connected to the Cosmic Origin, as if she could hear the rhythm of the cosmos’ vitality and sense the breath of distant stars.

The flame seed of the Tomb of the Void, though weak, contained ancient epochs of defiance against Nothingness. This deepened Xu Qinghan’s understanding of the Void and enhanced her mastery of the ”Fire Void Transformation.”

She suddenly concentrated the Power of Fire on her feet, her body transforming into a stream of golden-black light, rushing directly towards the outer space of the Tomb of the Void. She had to escape this dire territory before the Tomb of the Void completely exploded!

She moved at an extreme speed, streaking through the darkness like golden Lightning. She passed through fragmented void fissures, avoiding terrifying void torrents. Her body was battered and bruised by the impact of the void torrents, yet she gritted her teeth, determination ablaze in her eyes.

”Fire undying! Fire eternal!”

The shouts of the Fire Guardians echoed in her heart, along with the compassionate words of the elder. She knew she couldn’t let their sacrifice be in vain! She must survive, grow stronger, and turn the eternal hope of Fire into reality!

Finally, after paying a heavy price, Xu Qinghan broke through the atmosphere of the Tomb of the Void.

Just as she burst out, a thunderous roar echoed behind her!

”Boom——”

The Tomb of the Void had completely exploded!

The endless power of the void spread out like a Tsunami, devouring all matter, annihilating all Laws. It wasn’t merely a simple explosion; it resembled the collapse of the Cosmic Origin, forming a black hole of void instantly, sucking everything around into it.

Xu Qinghan only felt an irresistible force surge from behind, she spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, her body tossed into the air like a cut kite. The Fire barrier around her shattered instantly under the void torrents, her body was eroded by the horrific void power, flesh torn, bones grinding with an aching sound.

”Fire... undying...” Xu Qinghan growled amid the excruciating pain, forcing herself to activate the Ancient God’s Fire Mark at her brow.

The mark erupted with unprecedented brilliance at the critical moment, blazing gold and black flames surged from her, forming a swirling vortex that swallowed the surrounding void power and then exploded, purifying it instantly.

Simultaneously, her body was tossed millions of miles away by the terrifying shock wave, finally crashing heavily onto a desolate meteor, shattering it into pieces.

Her body lay in disarray within the remnants of the broken meteor, gasping for air, engulfed in agonizing pain. Her consciousness was fuzzy, but the Ancient God’s Fire Mark at her brow persisted in emitting a faint gold-black glow, like a guiding light in the darkness, pulsing stubbornly.

She struggled to sit up, lifting her eyes.

The position where the Tomb of the Void once stood, now left with only a pitch-black void, a vast, ever-expanding black hole, swallowing everything around. That black hole was deep and terrifying, as if it could absorb the entire cosmos into it.

Xu Qinghan’s heart tightened, she knew, the Tomb of the Void was utterly consumed by the void. The beings eroded by the void, the void wraiths, also vanished completely in the void.

”Master of Nothingness... I will stop you...” Xu Qinghan’s voice was hoarse, filled with endless fatigue and resilience. She clenched her fists tightly, nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain. All she felt was an unprecedented surge of power flowing within, the last Inheritance from the Fire Guardians, their unyielding will, their eternal Belief.

She slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears fall.

Uncertain of how long passed before she opened them again, devoid of tears, only a deep gold-black glow, with a timeless weariness and determination beyond her age.

She sensed the surging Power of Fire within her, stronger than ever, the flame seeds of the Nucleus of Annihilation and the Tomb of the Void, though passively fused in a critical moment, its ancient fire origin nourished her Ancient God’s Fire like never before.

She could clearly feel her Fire’s tighter connection with the Cosmic Origin, as if she could hear the cosmos’ vitality rhythm, sense the breath of distant stars. Her resistance to the void power greatly enhanced, even able to perceive a subtle source fluctuation within, though faint, it deepened her understanding of the void.

This might be an outcome the Master of Nothingness didn’t foresee. The birthplace of Fire and the battleground of ancient epochs against the void, the core Fire held some cryptic connections to the Void Origin.

Xu Qinghan took a deep breath, calming her agitated heart. She knew now wasn’t the time for sorrow. She had to return to the Fire Sanctuary swiftly to inform the elder about the situation of the Tomb of the Void and prepare for the upcoming trials.

She attempted to activate the Fire Mark on her brow, trying to connect with the Sanctuary via the Fire Network. This time, unlike before, the Fire Network wasn’t filled with Deathly Silence. Though still faint, she felt a subtle thread of connection, the Guardians of Fire silently supporting the network.

”Elders... I have returned...” Xu Qinghan whispered in her heart, knowing that although the Fire Network was severely damaged, she had succeeded.

She focused the power of the Ancient God’s Fire in her eyes, her gaze piercing through the endless darkness, attempting to find the direction of the Fire Sanctuary.

Uncertain of how long it took, her gaze suddenly sharpened.

In the distant depths of the starry sky, she saw a faint glimmer. Though faint, it carried a familiar pulse, it was... the aura of Fire!

Xu Qinghan’s heart lifted with joy, she knew, that must be the direction of the Fire Sanctuary!

Without a moment’s hesitation, she transformed into a golden-black stream of light, rushing straight towards that faint glow.

The long journey was filled with unknowns and dangers. She traversed star domains eroded by void power, evaded the wandering void creatures in the cosmos, even sensing the omnipresent oppression of the Master of Nothingness.

Her body gradually healed during the journey, the Fire Power within becoming more refined. She began experimenting with the newly merged flame power and discovered that the flame seeds of the Nucleus of Annihilation and the Tomb of the Void not only enhanced her Fire Power but greatly improved her resistance to void power, even able to sense a slight source fluctuation within, though faint, it deepened her understanding of the void.

This might be an unforeseen result for the Master of Nothingness. The Nucleus of Annihilation as one of the birthplaces of Fire, the Tomb of the Void as an ancient epoch battleground against the void, even eroded by the void, its core Fire contained some linkage to the Void Origin.

Finally, after several days of a lengthy journey, Xu Qinghan once again saw the familiar valley.

The Fire Sanctuary!

Her heart eased, the tense nerves finally relaxed.

However, as she approached the Sanctuary, she noticed the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

The altar’s Fire in the center of the valley was dimmer than before, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment. Around the altar, those elderly figures were more hunched, their breaths weak, like candles flickering in the wind.

Xu Qinghan’s heart sank heavily, she realized the Fire Guardians had paid an unimaginable price to suppress the explosion of the Nucleus of Annihilation and the Tomb of the Void.

She landed before the altar, her gaze sweeping over those familiar figures. She saw many Guardians, once here, were now gone. In their places, only empty cushions remained, along with the faint remnants of Fire lingering in the air.
