Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Thus, the old Priest concluded that Ye Chen possessed a Chaos Bloodline!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to awaken the tribe’s fire seed.

The four divine beasts were born from the primordial chaos between heaven and earth. Only someone with a Chaos Bloodline could reawaken the residual power within the tribe’s totems.

Ye Chen neither confirmed nor denied this.

He had the Chaos Five Elements Body, so it wasn’t wrong to say he had a Chaos Bloodline.

Besides, it was indeed because of his innate ability, the Chaos Divine Fire, that he had reignited the tribe’s fire seed and lit the Vermilion Bird totem.

However, Ye Chen still posed his question.

What was the Xuanwu Tribe’s purpose in borrowing the other three fire seeds?

”Young friend, there is something you do not know.”

The old Priest’s voice was grave as he said, ”Legend has it that if the fire seeds left behind by the four divine beasts are gathered, they can be condensed into the strongest fire seed to ever exist, one that will dominate all ages—the Creation Holy Fire!”

”The Creation Holy Fire?!”

A flicker of emotion crossed Ye Chen’s face.

It was the first time he had ever heard that name.

”That’s right!”

The old Priest continued to explain, ”The ancient divine beasts were themselves born from the world’s creation. The so-called Creation Holy Fire is the supreme divine fire condensed from the fire seeds of the four beasts.”

”The Creation Holy Fire contains a supreme, formative power, enough to reverse yin and yang, to subvert life and death!”

”According to the ancient texts, possessing the Creation Holy Fire is equivalent to gaining an undying body. Things like being reborn from a single drop of blood, becoming immortal and indestructible, are all simple matters!”

”The power of creation can easily reconstruct one’s Dao body, refine the Divine Soul, and replenish life force!”

”No matter how severe your injuries, the Creation Holy Fire can pull you back from death’s door. It is a one-of-a-kind, miraculous fire of heaven and earth!”

’The effects of this Creation Holy Fire… are they really that miraculous?’ Even Ye Chen was stunned by the old Priest’s words.

Without a doubt, the Creation Holy Fire was a supreme divine fire on the same level as the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

If the Red Lotus Karma Fire was like a cancer clinging to the bone, capable of igniting the power of sin on a person and nearly impossible to extinguish once it touched a Cultivator, making it an excellent tool for sneak attacks and ambushes...

...then the Creation Holy Fire was a healing flame capable of bringing the dead back to life and growing flesh on bare bones!

According to the old Priest, with the Creation Holy Fire, any injury, no matter how severe, could be easily healed. If developed to its full potential, one could even achieve true immortality!

That was a bit of an exaggeration.

’Not even a Void Realm Great Power who has mastered the Space Law can achieve immortality, right?’

At the same time, Ye Chen finally understood why obtaining the Vermilion Bird’s fire seed was still not enough to trigger his Chaos Divine Fire.

It seemed the Vermilion Bird’s fire seed had not yet reached the level of a heavenly divine fire like the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Only by gathering the fire seeds of all four divine beasts and refining the Creation Holy Fire could Ye Chen get one step closer to awakening his innate ability, the Chaos Divine Fire!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask, ”Since the Xuanwu Tribe gathered the fire seeds from all four tribes long ago, have they already refined the Creation Holy Fire?”

”No.”

The old Priest denied it without the slightest hesitation. ”In fact, it’s impossible for them to have achieved that.”

”If the Creation Holy Fire could be refined so easily, it wouldn’t have vanished from the world after the fall of the four divine beasts.”

”It is for this very reason that the Xuanwu Tribe has delayed returning our tribes’ fire seeds... By the time we realized their wolfish ambitions, it was already too late.”

”By gathering the fire seeds of the four divine beasts, the Xuanwu Tribe grew to a level of power far beyond the imagination of our three tribes. They flourished day by day until they became the overlords of this land.”

”As for our three tribes, we gradually declined, melting into the masses, no longer able to make any waves.”

”...”

The old Priest’s words made Ye Chen furrow his brow.

He couldn’t help but sigh. ”It seems obtaining this Creation Holy Fire is no easy task.”

”That may be true for us, but for you, young friend, it might be a different story.”

The old Priest’s eyes glinted. ”The reason the Xuanwu Tribe has been unable to refine the Creation Holy Fire is because they don’t have a single tribesman with a Chaos Bloodline!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes lit up. ”Are you saying that only someone with a Chaos Bloodline can refine the Creation Holy Fire?”

”Precisely!”

The old Priest said resolutely, ”Chaos is the very birthplace of the ancient divine beasts. To fuse the powers of the four beasts, the power of chaos is naturally indispensable!”

”Unfortunately, a Chaos Bloodline is exceedingly rare, with perhaps not a single case appearing in tens of thousands of years! This holds true even for the prosperous Xuanwu Tribe!”

At this point, the old Priest gave Ye Chen a complicated look. ”And you are the first case I have ever seen!”

”’The first?’” Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked the old Priest, ”Have you ever heard of the Chaos Five Elements Body?”

”The Chaos Five Elements Body? What’s that?” To his surprise, the old Priest shook his head in confusion. ”Is it a type of Chaos Bloodline?”

Seeing this, Ye Chen froze.

’The Chaos Five Elements Body is truly mysterious.’ Based on what the old Priest said, Ye Chen guessed, ’It’s likely a top-tier constitution among Chaos Bloodlines.’

Even Ye Chen himself didn’t know how many more secrets his constitution held, waiting to be discovered.

In all his time as a Cultivator, Ye Chen had not yet been able to fully unleash the potential of his Chaos Five Elements Body.

’I now have the fire seed from the Vermilion Bird totem. As long as I can obtain the other three tribes’ fire seeds, I can try to refine the Creation Holy Fire!’

’By then, I’ll be another step closer to awakening the Chaos Divine Fire.’

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered as he pondered.

The tribe’s Imperial Physician had declared that Ye Chen’s injuries were too severe—his meridians were severed and his foundation was destroyed. He would never be able to walk the path of cultivation again in this life.

With the Vermilion Bird Tribe’s Imperial Physician’s skills, his words might not have been entirely accurate, but they weren’t baseless either.

To completely heal these injuries, and to do so without leaving any hidden detriments, the best way was to obtain the Creation Holy Fire!

A fervent heat filled Ye Chen’s heart. He realized that drifting to the Black Triangle Region through the spatial turbulence was likely no accident.

Everything might have been arranged in advance by Fairy Luoxia!

Ye Chen remembered very clearly what Fairy Luoxia had said before sending him into the spatial turbulence.

”In fact, I have some understanding of the Chaos Five Elements Body, and I have a rough idea of how to unleash its potential.”

”It’s all up to you whether or not you can seize the opportunity.”
