Chapter 1576: Chapter 816: An Unexpected Delight

At the same time, beneath Lin Tianming’s position, two Exotic Flames frantically intertwined, continually clashing against each other.

In an instant, the entire underground sea of fire descended into chaos, waves of air carrying terrifying firepower, wildly spreading in all directions.

Thus, such frenzied collisions continued for a long duration.

During this period, both Exotic Flames wielded significant power, seeming from the overall situation that neither had gained much advantage.

However, as the clash persisted, the Earth Core Source Fire, being on home ground, seized the benefits of the timing and geography.

Plus, given its inherent terror, it clearly held absolute dominion in momentum and the tenacity of its origin power.

Looking at the Blue Heart True Flame, although it underwent a mutation, significantly augmenting its power.

Yet its opponent was a terrifying existence ranked in the top twenty on the Exotic Fire Ranking.

Although the disparity in rankings isn’t the absolute factor determining the strength of Exotic Flames.

There’s still such a notable difference between them, enough for the cultivation world’s cultivators to recognize it for tens of thousands of years, surely relying on certain factors.

After all, cultivators with abilities to traverse skies and earth, move mountains and fill seas, are definitely not fools, able to clearly discern who is stronger.

Moreover, even Nascent Soul Stage experts do not deny the existence of the Exotic Fire Ranking, and they covet these Exotic Flames, further illustrating the strength of the Earth Core Source Fire.

Additionally, strange objects like the Earth Core Source Fire absorbed a vast amount of heaven and earth essence during its growth period, ultimately evolving to this current stage after a lengthy period of sedimentation and evolution.

Under such circumstances, although the Earth Core Source Fire is an ownerless entity, its Spirit Wisdom is inherently high.

Especially when facing an external enemy invasion, the Earth Core Source Fire’s power erupted with purity.

Because it knows that if it cannot repel the invading Blue Heart True Flame, no matter how powerful it is, it could very well vanish from between heaven and earth.

Given these various factors, the Earth Core Source Fire’s power is exceedingly strong at this moment.

Over at the Blue Heart True Flame’s side, it only deployed part of its Origin Fire Seed, whereas its remaining power was within Lin Tianming.

Thus, under such disparity, the Blue Heart True Flame quickly fell into a disadvantage.

At this moment, Lin Tianming witnessed this and could sense the feedback from the Blue Heart True Flame.

Seeing the Blue Heart True Flame subdued, Lin Tianming felt anxious.

Because he knew the importance of the Blue Heart True Flame to him, and understood its specific role.

Now, facing the Earth Core Source Fire’s frenzied counterattack, the Blue Heart True Flame’s situation was very precarious.

Upon witnessing this, Lin Tianming felt a mixture of shock and anger.

Nonetheless, he knew that at this point, the Blue Heart True Flame must not be defeated.

If this portion of the Blue Heart True Flame were to be devoured by the Earth Core Source Fire, it’s not impossible that, as its host, he would suffer severe injuries or even lose his life.

Conversely, if the Blue Heart True Flame could indeed devour the Earth Core Source Fire, as its host, he would reap immense benefits.

These benefits would not only potentially prompt another mutation in the Blue Heart True Flame, strengthening his offensive capabilities.

In addition, his cultivation level and physical strength could also be elevated.

And this is exactly what he needs most at the moment.

Therefore, from any angle, he must obtain the Earth Core Source Fire and refine it.

Aware of this, Lin Tianming decisively took action.

So in the next instant, despite the severe pain in his body, he activated all the Blue Heart True Flame’s Origin Fire Seed within him.

At once, Lin Tianming, with a grand wave of his hand, unleashed an enormous scarlet-blue flame, directly darting down through the flame eye before him.

The flame sped rapidly, and in an instant, had dived over a hundred yards.

Swiftly, more Blue Heart True Flames combined with the prior portion of the flame.

This time, with the addition of these Blue Heart True Flame origins, the flames previously at an absolute disadvantage suddenly began to swell.

Hence, the Blue Heart True Flame, previously suppressed by the Earth Core Source Fire, regained stability over the situation.

Yet, even so, the Blue Heart True Flame merely stabilized the situation, battling the Earth Core Source Fire to a draw.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming, without the protective Blue Heart True Flame fire seed, had to rely on his physical strength to withstand the terrifying power of the fire here.

Under such conditions, Lin Tianming faced greater challenges.

For this was the core of the Earth Fire Vein, nearly at the deepest point.

In such a harsh environment, if one were a regular Late Stage Golden Core cultivator trying to rely solely on personal strength to endure, they’d likely not withstand more than a few breaths before being roasted alive by the terrifying heat.

But Lin Tianming’s physical strength was sufficiently robust, allowing him survivability far beyond that of average cultivators.

Even so, Lin Tianming’s situation remained perilous.

Due to the high temperature deep within the Earth Fire, compounded by the Blue Heart True Flame and Earth Core Source Fire’s frenzied collision, even more fearsome temperatures were unleashed.
