Serpent Ancestor

The primitive fire spirits are akin to primitive humans, possessing only minimal intelligence. Their instinct is to devour other living beings to evolve themselves.

Upon spotting Mo Xingtian, they charged at him like tigers pouncing on a goat that had wandered into their territory, eager to consume him.

Mo Xingtian dared not be careless and once again summoned the flame gourd to absorb the fire spirits.

”Swish, swish, swish...”

A large number of approaching fire spirits were sucked into the gourd. Even a few semi-formed ones, after struggling for a moment, were also absorbed.

It seemed that Elder Mo had prepared numerous high-level magical treasures for this journey to handle various complex environments, and the Jiang family was very attentive to this matter.

However, as time passed, the gourd in his hand began to tremble.

”If this continues, the Heavenly Fire Crow Gourd will soon be unable to hold any more!”

Mo Xingtian’s expression turned grim. The fire spirits in front of him not only didn’t decrease but increased as he absorbed them. He began to suspect that Xu Hei might have some method to attract fire spirits.

The other party possessed a top-tier heavenly treasure, enabling survival in such an environment, which was not surprising. But if he could also attract fire spirits, it would continuously cause trouble for Mo Xingtian.If this continued, capturing Xu Hei in a short time would be impossible.

Although reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, Mo Xingtian took out a communication talisman and said, ”Jiang Bufan, have your Five Elemental Heavenly Capital Corpse take action.”

”Oh? Even Brother Mo can’t handle that kid?”

Soon, Jiang Bufan’s divine sense voice came through the communication talisman.

”Cut the crap, that beast has burrowed into the Sun, attracting countless primitive fire spirits. Hurry!”

Mo Xingtian urged.

They had anticipated the possibility of Xu Hei hiding in some dangerous secret realm, and they had multiple contingency plans for it.

Even if he hid inside the Sun, with its numerous dangers, they had ways to drag him out!

”Keep a close watch on him, don’t lose track.”

Jiang Bufan’s cold laughter came through.

…………

It was unclear how much time had passed.

When Xu Hei emerged from the Demon God Cauldron once again, he indeed found that the fiery threads outside had disappeared, and the semi-formed fire spirits from before were nowhere to be seen.

”There really are good people out there,” Xu Hei chuckled to himself.

He continued deeper, following the same pattern, capturing more fiery threads to let his worm fire seed refine them.

Before long, more fiery threads were attracted.

Whenever the number of fiery threads became too much, Xu Hei would hide, and once the coast was clear, he would reappear and continue capturing.

Each time, a mysterious person would secretly clear the excess, providing Xu Hei with a safe environment for capturing.

This cycle repeated for several days.

Xu Hei had already ventured deep into the Sun.

In such an environment, even with the protection of his worm fire seed, Xu Hei found it difficult to advance, feeling a burning pain on his skin and meridians.

More terrifying was that he couldn’t absorb the spiritual qi here; the flame law contained within was too powerful, and it also carried some fire poison, which required the Demon God Cauldron to refine for a long time to remove.

Xu Hei understood that this was the limit of how deep he could go.

He was well aware that the Sun’s size was thousands of times larger than the combined size of the Seven Stars, and his current position was still very far from the core.

But even at this position, it was a place countless people could never reach in their lifetime.

”Even Canglan Immortal Lord, who could create a Dark Star, couldn’t control the Sun with his power,” Xu Hei thought to himself.

The Dark Star was already terrifying enough for Xu Hei; the legendary Canglan Immortal Lord could manipulate stars with ease, yet even he would feel insignificant before the vastness of the Sun.

Ordinary stars were like grains of sand compared to the Sun.

Of course, both the Sun and Canglan Immortal Lord were beyond Xu Hei’s imagination; with his limited perspective, he couldn’t fathom the true powerhouses.

After these days of devouring, the worm fire seed in Xu Hei’s hand remained unchanged.

Its flame was just more vigorous, and its desire to devour grew stronger. Whenever it discovered fiery threads, it would shoot out on its own without Xu Hei’s control, refining them in just a few breaths.

”I don’t know how long they’ll keep chasing me. Returning now might lead to an encounter.”

”I’ll circle around and exit from the other side of the Sun.”

Xu Hei maintained his distance, skirting the side of the Sun’s core.

In this way, Xu Hei circled for another three days without being caught.

However, the fiery threads he encountered gradually decreased, giving Xu Hei a strange feeling.

The Sun was so vast, with seemingly endless fiery threads, so why were they diminishing?

Xu Hei strongly suspected that something had changed ahead.

Retreating was not an option. Out of caution, Xu Hei slowed his pace, holding the Demon God Cauldron in front of him, ready to hide inside at any moment.

The spatial distortion grew more severe, and the light became increasingly bright. Inside the Sun, the world was filled with flames, and every second, countless massive explosions occurred around Xu Hei.

Each explosion was equivalent to the self-destruction of an ordinary Divine Transformation Stage cultivator. It was these explosions that created the Sun’s terrifying energy.

Only Xu Hei’s incredibly strong physical body allowed him to endure until now.

”Hmm?”

Suddenly, Xu Hei found it hard to keep his eyes open. Ahead, about ten thousand feet away, an extremely dazzling sun seemed to have appeared.

It was as if a new sun had formed within the Sun, shining with a blinding white light.

The temperature ahead was several times higher than elsewhere.

And in this area, not a single fiery thread could be seen.

”Something’s off!” Xu Hei thought to himself.

At this moment, even his usually active worm fire seed became listless, as if encountering something terrifying, retreating back into Xu Hei’s body.

Logically, with the suppression of the laws of the mortal realm, nothing too powerful should appear here, but who could say for sure inside the Sun?

Xu Hei pondered for a moment, glanced back, and then made up his mind to continue forward.

From then on, Xu Hei advanced with extreme caution, and soon he entered the area of light.

When Xu Hei extended his divine sense forward, he was stunned.

Ahead, about ten thousand feet away, a new sun had appeared. However, this sun was only the size of a millstone, glowing bright white and spherical, slowly rotating.

It was as if the Sun had been shrunk countless times.

”This is...”

Xu Hei gasped, his heart surging with waves of shock, and he muttered to himself, ”Solar Essence Fire, in its mature form!”

Xu Hei wasn’t mistaken.

This was indeed the Solar Essence Fire recorded in ancient texts, the ultimate yang fire of the mortal realm, and it was in its mature form, the most powerful state!

However, this was an unrefined, wild Solar Essence Fire.
