"Jie jie jie, so what if you're a reborn Empress? You still can't do anything to me."

Moonwatch Peak.

In a newly carved-out cave dwelling, Xiao Ming recalled his recent battle with Feng Xianhuang, a smile appearing on his face.

This Empress junior sister of his.

She truly believed that being a reborn Empress, with a cultivation level four minor realms above his, she could easily defeat him.

Little did she know.

The technique he cultivated was a supreme one, surpassing even the emperor level in rank.

Plus, with the divine ability he had just comprehended, even though this junior sister had rich combat experience, she still couldn't handle him, her senior brother.

However.

Xiao Ming wasn't one to get carried away with arrogance.

After gaining a slight advantage, seeing Feng Xianhuang's increasingly flushed face, he didn't want to embarrass this Empress junior sister too much, so he deliberately left an opening and let her win.

This made the proud Empress almost turn from a phoenix into a little peacock.

"But Master is right, there's always someone better out there. Even though I possess the Chaos Body and cultivate supreme techniques, I can't guarantee there aren't other anomalies in this world."

"If I become arrogant and complacent, I'll surely stagnate."

"I must strive to improve myself as much as possible!"

Thinking of this.

Xiao Ming was filled with determination and immediately extracted and inherited the Human Emperor Banner from the system space.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully inheriting the Human Emperor Banner, which is now binding to the host!"

With the system's notification.

The Human Emperor Banner turned into a beam of light and entered his sea of consciousness, emanating a sinister black aura at its center.

It looked more like a demonic treasure, completely unrelated to the Human Emperor's treasure.

"Unfortunately, the Human Emperor Banner's essence is depleted now, and I haven't cultivated any soul techniques, so I can't use this supreme treasure. I can only temporarily nurture it in my sea of consciousness."

Looking at the Human Emperor Banner in his sea of consciousness, Xiao Ming showed a hint of regret.

It seemed he needed to find a soul cultivation secret technique.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Suppressing this thought.

Xiao Ming extracted another reward, the Soul Devouring Sword!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully inheriting the Soul Devouring Sword, which is now binding to the host!"

With the system's notification, the Soul Devouring Sword suddenly appeared before him.

The sword was over four feet long, its body a ghostly white like jade bones.

The hilt resembled a crystal skull, with eye sockets emitting an eerie red glow.

It looked quite sinister.

Moreover.

The blade was surrounded by a layer of strange black smoke, flickering like ghostly flames, clearly not a righteous sword.

"Even though I know this thing isn't good, how can I wield something so sinister?"

Looking at the Soul Devouring Sword's appearance, Xiao Ming's hopes were dashed.

If he wielded this sword to wreak havoc in the future, he'd definitely be seen as a villainous demon.

"Forget it, I'll be cautious in the early stages. Once I'm strong enough, whether it's demonic or righteous will be up to me!"

Shaking his head.

Xiao Ming didn't dwell on it, casually storing the Soul Devouring Sword and extracting the final reward from the system space.

The Primal Fire Seed!

A mysterious fire seed born from chaos, capable of devouring all kinds of strange fires for personal use, and a great asset for directly enhancing strength!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully inheriting the Primal Fire Seed, which is now merging with the host!"

After the system notification.

The Primal Fire Seed turned into a beam of light and entered Xiao Ming's body, unleashing a terrifying energy wave.

A flame ignited on Xiao Ming's body, and his cultivation aura began to soar wildly.

Spirit Sea Sixth Level!

Spirit Sea Seventh Level!

...

As the Primal Fire Seed fully merged, Xiao Ming's cultivation stabilized at the Spirit Sea Ninth Level.

Such an astonishing transformation.

Even Jiang Xuanying and Feng Xianhuang sensed it, both looking up towards Xiao Ming's cave dwelling.

"What a terrifying and violent flame aura, could something have happened to him?!"

With this thought.

Jiang Xuanying and Feng Xianhuang rushed out of their own dwellings, heading towards Xiao Ming's cave at top speed.

"What a wonderful feeling."

"Is this the true fire of chaos?"

Feeling the true fire surging within him, like the sovereign of all fires, Xiao Ming couldn't help but express his amazement.

But before he could marvel for long, two figures appeared in the cave.

"What do you want?!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of Jiang Xuanying and Feng Xianhuang, Xiao Ming quickly withdrew the chaotic true fire, covering his exposed body with vigilance as he looked at the two.

"We just... sensed a very violent energy fluctuation and thought you might have gone astray in your cultivation."

Hearing Xiao Ming's words and seeing that he was unharmed, Feng Xianhuang and Jiang Xuanying felt a bit awkward.

But after a pause, Feng Xianhuang was the first to ask.

"Just now... what was that flame?"

"It looked... like some kind of top-tier special flame!"

After the flame appeared, she felt her Phoenix True Fire being suppressed, and the flame had a fatal attraction to her!

It seemed.

If she could merge with this flame, her Phoenix True Fire would greatly benefit.

Therefore.

She was eager and couldn't help but want to find out what this flame was.

Jiang Xuanying didn't speak, but her eyes were also fixed on Xiao Ming, filled with intense curiosity.

This flame had a similar attraction and suppressive effect on her Desolate True Fire!

"Chaos True Fire..."

"I accidentally lost to you earlier, and when I returned, I was a bit upset."

"Unexpectedly, amidst the intense emotional fluctuation, my Chaos Body suddenly awakened for a second time, and then I gained this flame..."

Seeing the desire on their faces, Xiao Ming spoke with a straight face, making up a story.

"......"

This answer left Jiang Xuanying and Feng Xianhuang stunned, clearly unable to accept such an absurd explanation.

Because he lost in a spar, then had an emotional fluctuation, and his physique awakened a second time?

Is the Chaos Body that heaven-defying?!

If that's the case, wouldn't Xiao Ming just need to keep provoking himself to continuously transform into a god?!

"If you don't believe me, you can feel my conscience. I'm definitely not lying!"

Seeing Jiang Xuanying and Feng Xianhuang's disbelief, Xiao Ming used his true essence to form clothes over his body, then stood up and patted his chest.

"Let me see your true fire!"

After Xiao Ming's words, Jiang Xuanying spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming flipped his hand.

The Chaos True Fire, like a dancing spirit, quietly burned in Xiao Ming's hand.

"What pure and primordial flame aura, as if born from chaos itself, just like the Chaos Body..."

Feeling the characteristics of this flame, Jiang Xuanying murmured in shock.

Just as Xiao Ming had said.

This flame seemed to be one with him, indeed evolved from his body.

Unexpectedly.

The Chaos Body was so terrifying, capable of generating such a formidable true fire.

If her disciple didn't fall in the future, he would surely prove himself as a Great Emperor!

He might even surpass the Great Emperor!

"Your true fire is indeed high-level, but your current strength is too weak to unleash its true power."

"In the future, you should focus on improving your cultivation..."

"Additionally, the Chaos True Fire has a fatal attraction to some fire cultivators or fire-attributed beasts. You should use it cautiously to avoid being targeted by those with ill intentions."

After some inner reflection, Jiang Xuanying advised.

If Xiao Ming weren't her disciple, she would have wanted to devour this Chaos True Fire herself to see if she could gain any benefits.

"I understand!"

Xiao Ming nodded seriously, knowing that the world was indeed full of dangers, and being cautious was the key to a long life.

After advising Xiao Ming, Jiang Xuanying left, leaving Feng Xianhuang standing there with a complex expression.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere grew a bit awkward.
