At this moment, the eyes of the Ten Thousand Fires Ancestor narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, a scorching red flame shot out from behind him, instantly enveloping Xiao Yan's body and burning wildly, as if trying to reduce Xiao Yan to ashes.
As the Sacred Spirit Fire surged, the Imperial Flame within Xiao Yan's body immediately swept out, seemingly trying to devour it. After all, Xiao Yan's body still contained the powerful and terrifying Burning Decree cultivation method. As the Burning Decree operated, the Sacred Spirit Fire did not resist as it had at the beginning but instead obediently entered Xiao Yan's body. The Imperial Flame naturally had no fear of the Sacred Spirit Fire.
The Imperial Flame spread and merged with the Sacred Spirit Fire, and the intense heat of the Sacred Spirit Fire distorted Xiao Yan's face.
He was frantically resisting the scorching flames, but he still chanted the mysterious incantation, and his body still felt the sensation of growing stronger. It seemed to be repairing his scorched flesh, a force of destruction and a force of rebirth, two forces in a wondrous standoff.
This standoff maintained a delicate balance, allowing Xiao Yan's body to continue to grow stronger. However, it was still far from the point of completely burning his body and then reshaping it.
This process was not without pain, and no one could understand it, as during the process of nirvana, one could not use spiritual energy to resist, or it would cause great damage to the body.
Seeing Xiao Yan's face contorted with intense pain, the Ten Thousand Fires Ancestor only watched quietly with narrowed eyes. No one could help with this step, as to become a true powerhouse, one had to take this step on their own!
The world only knew that the highest level of cultivation methods was the Ancient Rank, but who could know the great price that had to be paid to cultivate an Ancient Rank method?
There is no free lunch in the world. To become stronger, one must bear the cost of becoming stronger!
To step onto the path of the Holy Rank, only the bravest and most fearless can charge forward. Once the sharpness is lost, one is basically out of the Holy Rank. Therefore, Xiao Yan must charge forward bravely, even if the cost is to be shattered to pieces, he must charge toward the Holy Rank!
On a towering peak, a figure in black robes sat quietly in meditation, and a terrifying flame enveloped his body.
If one observed closely, they would see that amidst the rolling flames, a pair of magnificent wings flapped, swallowing and exhaling intense heat, continuously burning the body of the young man in black robes.
As the temperature of the flames reached an extremely terrifying level, the young man's body would be burned to ashes, leaving only a pile of bones. However, these bones were extremely peculiar, with a mysterious force entwining them. Over time, new flesh and blood would slowly grow back on the bones.
The flames burned fiercely, and as time passed, the body underwent a very slow ninefold nirvana. Once the nirvana was successful, it would be a complete transformation, and a Holy Rank Celestial Sovereign would be added to the vast world!
In the vast and boundless world, Holy Rank Celestial Sovereigns were extremely rare. These peak super-strong beings had long become giants in the vast world, and no one could shake their position!
"This boy has excellent character and talent. He will not be a mere pond fish in the future. It seems this boy will become even stronger than me, and might even reach the level of the strongest being in the vast world, the Immortal Emperor!"
The Ten Thousand Fires Ancestor looked at the young figure on the mountain peak, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, then closed his eyes and waited quietly for Xiao Yan's ninefold nirvana transformation.
And this wait lasted for ten years!
Ten years, a snap of the fingers, and the outstanding figures of the vast world have grown up. Countless heavenly geniuses have emerged, and the vast world is now filled with talent and heroes!
The Western Heaven Hall, the Hundred Battles Emperor, invincible in battle!
The Eastern Continent, the Green Robe Sword Saint, slaying demons with his sword!
The Northern Wasteland, the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, the Undying Lord ruling the land!
The Futu Ancient Clan, Qing Yanjing, dual cultivation in array formations and spiritual energy, with unparalleled talent!
Countless heavenly geniuses began to make their mark in the vast world, creating an era of their own. Countless Celestial Sovereigns are pursuing the path of the revered ruler, which is highly sought after!
The vast world is truly the domain of the young, and among the many emerging geniuses, the most outstanding is not one of the vast world's geniuses, but a young man from a lower plane.
Martial Ancestor, Lin Dong!
This young man broke through the constraints of the lower plane and descended into the vast world, subsequently displaying astonishing cultivation talent. In just a few decades, his cultivation reached the Holy Rank Celestial Sovereign, and he then established a top-tier superpower in the vast world, the Martial Realm!
The vast world faces the void, and all living beings live under the same sky. No matter where they are, they can feel the alternation of light and darkness. In this world, there exist extremely rare special regions.
These regions are creations, discoveries, and manifestations of the will of the vast world through the transmission of the vast world's spiritual energy.
To the south of the Ice Spirit Continent, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong created the Martial Realm with the "Ancestor Stone." The Martial Realm stands like a massive rock in the cloud sea, with green plants on top and steep cliffs surrounding it.
Lin Dong's character is steady and refined, with a fierce edge. The Martial Realm he created is the most dominant in the vast world.
During his time on the Heavenly玄 Continent, in the second great war between heaven and earth, Lin Dong and several other strong figures protected the living beings of the Heavenly玄 Continent by resisting the extraplanar evil races. Among these experts was his lover, "Ice Lady" Ying Huanhuan.
In this battle, Ice Lady burned her cycle to assist Lin Dong in advancing to the Ancestor Realm, slaying the Demon Emperor!
From then on, the young man who came from the Qingyang Town of the Great Yan Dynasty was revered as the "Martial Ancestor" by the entire world!
The Martial Realm, as a top-tier superpower in the vast world, has always protected the Martial Realm from external forces.
Martial Ancestor Lin Dong became the ruler of the Martial Realm and established an elder council, executive disciples, and many other super-strong figures, including Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan, Lin Jing, Lin Miao, and Lin Yan, all of whom are loyal to the Martial Realm.
Under the protection of these super-strong figures, the Martial Realm thrived and continuously expanded its powerful influence.
Most of the people in the Martial Realm are from the Heavenly玄 Continent, living on islands with a simple and hardworking culture, developing the surrounding fishing and pastoral industries.
The strength of the Martial Realm lies in the Ancestor Stone. Since the Ancestor Stone can continuously grow, the Martial Realm has a very rich production of Ancestor Spirit Stones. Apart from self-use, most of the Ancestor Spirit Stones are distributed to various parts of the vast world, making the mineral trade extremely prosperous!
Not long after the establishment of the Martial Realm, its main city, "Heavenly Capital," became the first mineral trading market in the vast world.
This achievement alone is enough to make countless heavenly geniuses in the vast world pale in comparison.
However, the achievements of this young man are not limited to these. After creating the top-tier superpower, the Martial Realm, he did not stay in the core area of the vast world but moved the Martial Realm to the extreme south of the vast world, taking on the responsibility of resisting the extraplanar evil races!
This noble act instantly stunned every corner of the vast world, earning the admiration of countless people. Many strong figures came to join the Martial Realm, making it an unshakable superpower in the vast world!
And the name of Martial Ancestor Lin Dong resounded throughout the vast world!
