Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Among the cultivators who came to the earth's center, many extraordinary figures cultivated the flaming Great Path. They stood before the storm and perceived the power inside, trembled before such aura. It was the source of the flaming Great Path, every strand of flowing current contained divine prowess.

Dared they explore?

Many people thought of the same thing, but they quickly dismissed it. They realized that it was almost impossible to accomplish the task. After all, the Solar Divine Palace had been here for years, and even the cultivator that came to the Lower Worlds from Sun God Mountain was unable to get to the divine item inside, despite having opened up this channel. If the cultivator from Sun God Mountain couldn't do it, how could they?

Of course, divine item aside, could they enter and use its power to cultivate just like that cultivator from the Solar Divine Palace?

While the cultivators were considering the consequences of going inside, some were already on the move. A major figurehead, bathed in the divine light of flames, walked directly into the storm. He was instantly obscured by the moving storm, but his vague outline could still be seen in the flaming storm. He was moving towards the core, the eye of the storm.

This cause some uneasiness in other cultivators; did they even want to try?

There might be danger in the storm.

Among those from the Heavenly Mandate Academy, everyone's eyes were on Ye Futian. Renhuang Chen asked, "Are you going in?"

"Mmm," Ye Futian nodded.

"It's too dangerous," said Renhuang Chen. "This storm is powerful. The strength of the flaming Great Path on the outer rim may equal the Great Path's strength of some of these top cultivators. If we insist on getting deeper inside the core, even I may not survive it. This must be the reason why that cultivator from Solar Divine Palace failed."

"Among the Nine Supreme Regions of the Original Realm, there are two realms that complemented each other: the Shadow Realm and Solar Realm. These two realms are somewhat similar in nature. I have entered the core area of ​​the Shadow Realm before," Ye Futian said to Renhuang Chen. Traces of currents flowed about him, producing a chilling sensation. When Renhuang Chen perceived this aura, his eyes sharpened a bit as he glanced at Ye Futian.

It seemed that Ye Futian had a great many opportunities before he received the inheritance of Ziwei the Great. If so, he might be overthinking the whole thing, as Ye Futian himself should know his own limits much better.

"Since the palace lord has had a similar experience before, I won't say anything more. However, please be careful. After all, there are still some risks; allow me to go in with you. If there is an emergency, I can be of assistance," said Renhuang Chen.

"Sure." Ye Futian nodded and did not reject Renhuang Chen's thoughtfulness. He then walked forward, with Renhuang Chen and others in tow. Renhuang Chen, especially, was sticking to him closely.

Before they had entered into the storm, Renhuang Chen vaguely detected an unusual current flowing above the surface of Ye Futian's body. This current spread towards the surroundings and seemed to turn into invisible branches and leaves of a tree. When these currents met with the invading flaming currents, they actually swallowed them up.

This made Renhuang Chen feel even more unsettled. He looked at the white-haired man in front of him and felt that Ye Futian was more unfathomable than ever before.

Boom… A violent aura of the Great Path erupted from Ye Futian's body. As his body was a body of the Way, the sound of the Great Path roared from it. The divine light hovered on the surface of his body as he walked into the storm, just like that. Amazingly, even at his realm, he was not burned up by that fervently fiery flaming power of the Great Path.

With him as the center, a strange phenomenon was taking place. Flames that flowed freely inside the storm now turned into a cyclone surrounding him. Gradually, it infiltrated into his body little by little until it was completely swallowed by his body.

At this moment, Renhuang Chen realized that Ye Futian had secrets that no one knew.

Perhaps, the will of Ziwei the Great chose him for a reason, and it had something to do with this.

Some people who had entered chose to stop here, quietly perceiving the power of the Great Path or trying to use it to cultivate. Occasionally, some of them would continue moving forward tentatively to see where their limits might allow them to proceed.

Others were moving forward persistently as well, wanting to enter deeper into the area.

Ye Futian and Renhuang Chen kept moving. In this terrifying storm, the deeper they got, the darker the color of the flames. In the most inner area of the core, the color was red as blood, shocking to behold.

And all the flame's energy seemed to diffuse out from that central region.

As they continued moving, Ye Futian gradually slowed down as well, and more cultivators had stopped, find it difficult to move forward. They had entered an area even deeper, where it was difficult for the strongest among them to move any further. Only those who had passed the test of the Great Path Divine Tribulation dared to venture deeper.

Renhuang Chen, who was following Ye Futian, felt it as well. If he went any deeper, perhaps he, too, would not be able to continue walking.

Faint traces of Imperial Glory hovered around Ye Futian and upon that body of immortal Great Path. There was also the terrifying divine light of flames that flowed about him, and his body seemed gradually being eaten away by the power of the flames.

He paused briefly. Although his realm was not as strong as he was now, he remembered when he was frozen and almost lost his life in the Shadow Realm. At present, his realm had much improved, but the power of Sun God Fire was definitely no less menacing than the power of shadow. If he couldn't bear it, the result would not be just being frozen but being burned to cinders with no hope of ever returning.

There were some unusual movements in his life palace, and the Ancient Tree of the World kept swaying, moving toward his limbs and muscles, protecting his indestructible physical body in case of unforeseeable circumstances. At the same time, those ancient branches turned into an invisible power that spread towards the surrounding area, as the Ancient Tree of the World stirred again in his life palace.

At this time, Ye Futian's body seemed to have been transformed into a sacred tree. He lifted his foot and continued forward.

Renhuang Chen looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then followed him forward, continuing to venture deeper into an area even closer to the core.

At this time, Ye Futian's body acted like a monster. Under the gaze of Renhuang Chen, he was madly devouring the flaming currents. As they poured into his body, they seemed to be swallowed into a bottomless pit.

"What kind of ability is this?" Renhuang Chen exclaimed secretly after witnessing this spectacular sight. It seemed that his worries were unwarranted. Inside this place, he might not be stronger than Ye Futian after all. At the moment, he was already experiencing a strong pressure, and the starry defense had begun to show signs of weakness. If he went any further, he might not be able to make it.

"Palace Lord!" Renhuang Chen called out when he thought about this, and Ye Futian turned his head to look at him. He heard Renhuang Chen say, "I can only walk to this point."

"Mmm," Ye Futian merely nodded but continued to walk deeper to the core inside. When he saw this, Renhuang Chen didn't know what else to say.

Not only him, but the other top figures behind them sharpened their eyes as well. How was Ye Futian able to achieve this?

It didn't take long before Ye Futian entered into the area around the core. The crimson flames were dark and terrifying; it was as if they could swallow people up in an instant. Under the shower of the divine light, everything in this area was on the verge of being burnt up, except for the place where Ye Futian was standing, in a small area of ​​vacuum.

Ye Futian saw the eye of the storm ahead; it looked like a crystal. One glance would make the beholder's eyes sting.

"Is this the Solar Divine Stone?" Ye Futian marveled secretly. This power was not any lesser than the original power of Yin. The ultimate solar fire was pure to the extreme!
