Chapter 3149 Apocalyptic Flame Essence
"The collapse is starting…"
"Not really. These kinds of flames erupt everywhere. One or two volcanic ranges connected to the realm core erupting with apocalyptic flames would not end this realm even if it's like a wildfire as this realm is vast and would take years to be fully incinerated."
Fairy Thunderblaze spoke up as she watched the core region of the volcanic mountain range erupt with apocalyptic flames, only to be disproved by Myria.
"I see."
The two of them watched the apocalyptic flames rain down on the world from above. Everyone was present with them, and although they were rattled, they weren't scared as they were two hundred thousand kilometers away from that region.
From Myria's words, they understood that many places must simultaneously erupt with apocalyptic flames for a realm to end, which meant they must have a few months remaining at the very least.
This information gave them some sense of security. However, without a change in their emotions, they were all worried for one man in their own way. They kept silently looking into the distance as though waiting for him before a transmission fell on Lea's messaging talisman, which made them receive his voice that comforted them.
Soon enough, they sensed an aura approaching them at a rapid speed.
Instead of making them relieved, it suddenly made everyone tense as they started to subconsciously circulate their energies.
Fairy Aila Cherryweave and Fairy Mei Novara were severely shaken, unable to believe such a destructive aura existed. They sensed it approaching them without a single change in direction, causing them to feel like they were going to be hit by a destructive meteor.
"It can't be…"
Fairy Thunderblaze's eyes widened.
The first thought that entered her mind was that it was a stray boulder lit up with apocalyptic flames heading towards them, but why didn't it come from above and traverse straight towards them on the ground level? It instantly made her think of the person who stayed to achieve a crazy notion, the idea of absorbing apocalyptic flames and managing to incorporate it into his cultivation.
*Szzzzz!~*
Like a lightning bolt, it struck the ground once it neared them, shocking everyone as they flailed to the ground.
The destructive undulations spread, causing some of them to scream.
But after they came out of their reverie, they saw Davis pressing down on a sphere of purplish-black apocalyptic flames with his knee. He also pushed his palm down on it and kept it restricted as life energy shrouded it, causing them all to shudder.
"Disobedient child. You are not to harm anyone unless I tell you to…!"
Davis spoke with a cold voice, imbuing his harsh tone and disciplining intent towards the newborn flame essence.
Just now, he had been ecstatic that he managed to bring this Spirit Attribute Source into life and wondered how his people would react when they saw this miracle, but this lifeform upon sensing the aura of other people quickly and suddenly towards them. If it was curious, he would've enjoyed it, but instead, it directly shot towards them as though it couldn't wait to kill them.
Fortunately, Davis had already kept it shrouded in his Heart Intent, so he knew what it was brooding and quickly moved to stop it from harming his people.
Still, it was extremely fast and incredibly powerful as its prowess was now five levels higher, which left him no choice but to use Fallen Heaven's life energy to stop it in its tracks.
Life energy was the only thing that it responded to with friendly emotions other than feeding it, so it listened to him despite its initial attempt to kill him. Like a wild animal, it had submitted to him. But now that it had grown too powerful, Davis found it hard to stop it in its tracks, which made him have no choice but to use Fallen Heaven.
*Siisiii~*
Davis suddenly sensed the apocalyptic flame essence's grievance as it cried out. However, its blazing sphere body quickly stopped flickering as it seemed to turn obediently, not resisting the restraint he imposed on it while calmly looking at its surroundings.
It seemed to have understood his intent, causing Davis to heave a sigh of relief and look up.
"…"
The ladies were naturally shaken to their core while the men looked at him as though he was a monster. It wasn't anything new for them to see him overwhelm his opponents, but to overwhelm an opponent an entire stage higher and that too managing to restrain a manifestation of apocalyptic flames while berating it as though he was disciplining a child, they could not fathom if he was truly a fellow human or whether if he truly existed in this world or not.
Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn had their jaws dropped.
Even his women were no different, even though their eyes were shrouded with pride, filled with worship.
'Well, considering that they sensed my prowess that reached the very peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage… I don't blame them…'
"Ah…"
Davis acted as though he was greatly exhausted and fell down by the apocalyptic flame essence's side, holding it down with his palm while allowing it to remain calm with his life energy as it continued to observe the people looking at it.
'This won't do… I must quickly let it encounter heavenly tribulation and bring it down a notch to the initial level of the Immortal Emperor Stage…'
Davis knew that spirits, once born from the advent of heavenly tribulation, would have to start their life's journey from the beginning of the stage.
For example, Eldia became a spirit from a Spirit Attribute Source and started her cultivation from the First Stage of the Mortal Realm. However, for Immortal Grade Spirit Attribute Sources and above, they started from the beginning of the stage they were born in, which meant that this apocalyptic flame essence would restart its cultivation from Level One Immortal Emperor Stage upon becoming a spirit.
'Either this or I must tame it until it can not do anything without listening to my command first…'
Davis leaned towards the former, but if possible, he didn't want it to face its heavenly tribulation yet at the moment as he felt like it could gain one more level in prowess as it was said that Heaven-Tier Spirit Attribute Sources could go up to six levels in prowess while it was only five levels at the moment.
Therefore, it left him no choice but to tame it to the level where it shouldn't be able to move without his command. Otherwise, with the slightest spark, it may quickly incinerate someone, perhaps his close ones, not even leaving their ashes behind.
