Chapter 902: The Heaven Flame that Ranks First

A space crack opened. Shi Yan jumped in immediately, disappearing in just a blink of an eye.
Ouyang Luo Shuang gawked, dropping her jaw.
Na Xin was astounded.
Too direct and resolute, wasn't it?
The Origin was the most magical and incredible inner core of the ancient continents. It was priceless to any warriors. Ouyang Luo Shuang knew it and so did Na Xin.
Previously, Shi Yan had shown that he wasn't interested in that thing. After the other two had explained its key features, he took action immediately. His change of mind was so fast it surprised the others a lot.
Shi Yan left right after he finished speaking. When the others had finally processed what he said, he had already disappeared
"Precursor, don't you want to have it?" Ouyang Luo Shuang frowned, looking at Na Xin of the Giant Clan. "At your realm, although you don't need to merge the Origin with your soul, it still brings you great benefits. You really don't want to take it?"
Na Xin beamed a faint smile. "As I said, if he gets it and uses it in the future, he can revive Grace Mainland. In my hands, it will only be a normal treasure. Of course, it will provide significant support, but I can't make Grace Mainland energetic once again to gather more earth and heaven energy. Thus, I'm willing to let him have it."
Na Xin was calm and tender. He smiled warmly without any gleam of discontent. He seemed to be very happy with this situation.
However, Ouyang Luo Shuang was unfulfilled and she gritted her teeth. Unclear light sparkled in her clear but cold eyes.
"First, you can't locate the Origin fast enough. Second, even if you can find the Origin, you aren't strong enough to be Shi Yan's rival." Na Xin smiled, speaking deliberately. "So you shouldn't think about it anymore. You've received the inheritance and the Incipient Extent. You're very lucky already. You also have an extraordinary innate endowment. Once you've entered the Original God Realm, you will have admirable attainments."
"I don't want to lose," Ouyang Luo Shuang's eyes became complex all of a sudden. "When I first knew him, he... he wasn't worth mentioning. His realm was too low that it was funny to me. However, after just ten years, he has surpassed me..."
Pausing for a while, her face became bitter. "I used to think that... after I got out of my seal of one thousand years, I would be able to step on the highest summit and become the new outstanding talent of Grace Mainland. Unexpectedly, he has towered over us all. When I got the inheritance from the Incipient Extent and combined it with my power Upanishad, I thought I could surpass and leave him far behind. I never expected that when we met again, he would also be at the Peak of King God Realm. I... I'm always lowered by him."
She had been sealed for one thousand years. During that time, she had accumulated energy of the moonlight. She was a special talent that arrogantly topped people in the world. It was unexpected that Shi Yan had always been more prominent than her since his debut. He had solved the issues between the forces himself. He had changed the overall situation of Endless Sea and Divine Great Land. She didn't know what she should comment about his attainments.
It was because of her natural arrogance that she couldn't accept that such a character had always been stronger than her. While Shi Yan didn't notice her much, she had considered him her most challenging rival.
"You're a good girl," Na Xin looked at her deeply. "Your starting point isn't bad, and your innate endowment is also of high-quality. However, you lack experience. If you fight him in the given circumstances that your realms and powers are equal, you will lose quickly. Regarding bloody practical battles, you can't compete against him. That kid has a brutal, murderous aura. I don't know how many people he has killed. Can you be his rival?" said Na Xin seriously.
Ouyang Luo Shuang was dispirited as if she got hit at her weakest point.
Indeed, talking about ruthless deeds, she could never compare to Shi Yan. Shi Yan's progress was built off of bloody battles. He had tried his best in each battle. Afterward, he had accumulated many experiences.
"Honestly, I think you guys would be a perfect match," Na Xin said all of a sudden, laughing loudly. "You both have outstanding innate talents, your realms aren't too different, and your fortunes aren't bad. If you can be together..."
Ouyang Luo Shuang blushed, rolling her eyes at Na Xin. "I didn't think that you Giants will also babble about this."
Na Xin chuckled naturally.
"Forget it. I won't compete against him this time... Just let him get the Origin. Harrumph, I will depend on my power. I will not lag behind him!" Ouyang Luo Shuang mumbled.
----------------------
Deep in earth's inner core of Grace Mainland.
Shi Yan frowned, standing upright by the Origin. Electric-like light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know how to take the Origin.
The Origin looked like a chaotic globe, spinning between the crystals. It was covered by tens of thousands of gray air layers. Each air layer had an intimidating energy fluctuation that frightened him. He didn't dare to act rashly.
He was told about the magical features of the Origin, but no one had explained to him how to take it.
Billions of years have passed and Grace Mainland had given birth to countless geniuses, and none of them knew how to take this marvelous Origin?
If someone did know, why was the Origin still here?
Did it hide any perilous traps which prevented people from touching the Origin even though they all knew how precious it was?
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Still, he didn't dare to do anything recklessly.
Pondering for a while, he tried to connect the Blood Vein Ring's Ring Spirit.
His thought traveled like beams of light, entering the Blood Vein Ring. He extended his Soul Consciousness to find the aura of the Ring Spirit.
"Are you here?" He sent his Soul Consciousness.
There was no response.
The Blood Vein Ring had exhausted its energy to help him get rid of the restriction of God Perishing Land, which helped him summon the Divine Sword from Grace Mainland to the forbidden land in Raging Flame Star Area. Afterward, it went dormant.
It hadn't woken up yet.
The Ring Spirit didn't answer him. Shi Yan frowned, looking at that Origin. He didn't dare to act rashly without having a clear solution.
At the same time, his Soul Consciousness, which connected to the Heaven Flame, showed him that the situation was getting worse.
Seven out of ten known heaven flame of the Grace Mainland had connected and was interlinked to him. However, in this battle, even when his seven heaven flame had joined hands, they seemed to not be getting the upper hand.
The Immemorial Demonic Flame had merged with the Purgatory True Flame, advancing its level to level 8. The Primal Chaos Sacred Flame had been dormant for so many years in the earth's inner core. It also took the Origin. Shi Yan didn't know its real level. He closed his eyes, trying to sense with a grimace.
The Primal Chaos Sacred Flame in that magical, unknown area was even more intimidating than the Immemorial Demonic Flame, pressing its seven flames.
The last flame that had entered this place took the biggest initiative that it even made the Immemorial Demonic Flame confused. At this moment, the Immemorial Demonic Flame seemed to have a tacit agreement with the other seven heaven flames. They had joined hands and attacked the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame together.
Shi Yan was stern, suddenly recognizing that the Prima Chaos Sacred Flame was the most dangerous flame among the heaven flames. It was worth its status as the highest rank.
Shi Yan suddenly remembered the legends of this heaven flame...
The Primal Chaos Sacred Flame was a flame that was formed naturally when earth and heaven began. Just like strong living beings in the Immemorial Era, it could cultivate and create life. It could resurrect the dead and reignite the flame of life one more time. This heaven flame ranked first.
It could cultivate by itself and it could even create lives by kindling the flame of life!
Shi Yan was shocked.
The heaven flame did deserve its first place rank!
The Immemorial Demonic Flame and the other heaven flames had joined hands to deal with the Prima Chaos Sacred Flame in that magical land. Although they were fighting under the rules of heaven flames, they couldn't gain the upper hand.
Not only that, within one hour, he continually received the soul message from the Corpse Vanishing Flame. "I can't resist it. Please help. Give me your life energy..."
The Corpse Vanishing Flame flashed on and off. It sounded like a heavily wounded warrior who couldn't even breathe.
The needed support that it called 'help' for was Shi Yan's life energy, the pure energy of his soul!
Shi Yan didn't hesitate. He darkened his face silently in front of the Origin. His consciousness hovered when the soul altar released his soul energy, seeping into the unknown, magical area...
His life energy slid fast. The Corpse Vanishing Flame's aura was condensed slowly as if it had actually restored most of its power.
"I need power!"
"More power!"
"Power!"
"I want power!"
For the time being, disorderly soul fluctuation like silver needles stabbed his head. The soul messages from the heaven flames were rushed and chaotic. Shi Yan felt pain in his soul. He tried to press down the uncomfortable feelings. He released his soul energy, turning it into pure soul energy and pouring them towards the heaven flames.
His life energy was drifting away. His God Body was shrouded in light, but he was exhausted.
What was being consumed wasn't the Essence Qi, negative energy, or star energy. It was the pure soul energy of the God Soul in his Sea of Consciousness, which was responsible for the God Soul's functions and its very existence.
To a warrior, more Blood Qi strengthened his power, not the size or intimidating presence of the God Soul. When the warrior died, as long as his soul altar wasn't broken and his God Soul was still there, he would still have a chance to restore or even revive.
However, if the God Soul died, the power of the warrior's flesh body would vanish into earth and heaven. It was the rules of Nature. The warrior would then die completely.
As his pure soul energy was given away, Shi Yan became exhausted, his eyes empty. Eventually, his consciousness started to blur.
He didn't have more energy to give to the heaven flames which had a connection with his soul. The rest had to be used to support his soul. The Primal Chaos Sacred Flame that appeared the last couldn't swallow them.
However, it was still struggling.
Shi Yan still gave more of his soul energy was. He knew that his heaven flames were in a bad situation in the battle between the heaven flames. And it was getting worse!
The advantage of bigger numbers wasn't effective in this battle.
The seven heaven flames couldn't rival the Primal Chaos Sacred Flame by themselves. With the Immemorial Demonic Flame and Shi Yan's continual supply of soul energy, they could maintain an equal force against the opponent. Before they got the final result, Shi Yan would still need to give more soul energy.
However, he knew his limitations. He couldn't endure for a long time.
He became exhausted and his consciousness started to blur again. He couldn't help but look at the spinning Origin next to him.
