War God Supreme

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The bottomless flaming abyss was like a Fire Dragon devouring all living things. The last thing Li Lingtian saw was a taunting face and scornful eyes.

With Li Lingtian’s hands still tightly gripped onto Yang Xiangguang, they were soon devoured in the bottomless flaming abyss and they burned in endless raging flames. Even a Fire-path Warrior Soul such as he was a withered leaf against this bottomless flaming abyss.

Suddenly, Li Lingtian’s hands felt empty, followed by the sensation of his hands on fire. When he turned to Yang Xiangguang, his eyes read filled with bitter despair.

The flames had vaporized Yang Xiangguang into thin air. If the powerful Tier Three Warrior could not survive in this heat, let alone himself.

“I once heard that the most painful death is being burnt to death while the easiest death is dying in one’s sleep. Now I, too…”

Li Lingtian empathized with the vaporized Yang Xiangguang whom he dragged down with him. He was also being burned to death, but at the thought of being burnt alive, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

Yang Xiangguang was vaporized into thin air, yet he as a Warrior Apprentice had survived longer than Yang Xiangguang?

More shockingly, he did not feel any burning sensations. Aghast, he turned his gaze onto himself and was completely blown over.

All he saw was a deep blue glow that was wrapped around him, blocking the endless flames on the outside. This glow was coming from within his body.

“Could it be the ice from my Dantian?”

He was right. The knuckle-sized piece of ice was continuously spinning in his Dantian, releasing a chilly glow that resisted against the heat. At this very moment, he felt no chills nor scorching heat.

His body continued to fall further and further, and the more he fell the more powerful the flames were. The flames went from red to white. The white flames were in itself signs of abnormality as its force had far exceeded the imagination of any regular Warrior.

‘I guess I’ll live a little longer.’

Li Lingtian thought to himself. The piece of hail within him probably would not last long in this bottomless flaming abyss. Even if he could make it through, he could not possibly make it back up there.

He was anguished. He was knocked out of his consciousness by hail only to transmigrate to the Sky Cloud Sect, which turned a genius Fire-path Warrior Soul into a good-for-nothing. He came here to cultivate in order to suppress the hail yet they would only kill him.

Time went on until he was struck by pain, a scorching pain. The chilly gleam was still intact but the peculiar flames had corroded his body.

“Psst.”

Following a faint noise, His body stopped and was suspended amid the flames. The chilly gleam had formed a ten-foot ring around him. Underneath him was a mystical flame of magenta. As if the flame had a mind of its own, it formed a shimmer to resist the chilly glow.

With the extreme chilly gleam and extreme raging flame coming to blows, Li Lingtian was caught and crushed between these two extremes.

“This is… This is the Fire Dragon’s Heart, the real Fire Dragon’s Heart!”

Terrified, he took a look down. Within the flame, he saw a knuckle-sized pattern in the core of the flame. Right in the middle was a small version of the Fire Dragon.

Since he knew a thing or two about the Fire Dragon, he realized that this knuckle-sized flame’s core was the Fire Dragon’s Heart. It was no wonder this bottom flaming abyss was called Fire Dragon Cave. There really was a Fire Dragon in eternal rest here.

“Pu Chi!” He spewed a mouthful of blood.

The piece of hail inside his body hastened its spinning, emitting ring after ring of horrifying chilly gleams. It seemed as if these chilly gleams were set out to turn the flaming abyss into glaciers.

However, as Li Lingtian’s fragile body could not withstand this monstrous energy, he spat out more blood.

“Rumble.”

Something strange then unfolded. The moment the fresh blood trickled over the Fire Dragon’s Heart, it started to vibrate which consequently prompted the chilly gleam and Fire Dragon’s Heart to violently clash against one another.

Li Lingtian lost his consciousness from the impact of the two omnipotent forces, leaving him unaware of what was to come.

…

Shhh.

As time passed, Li Lingtian opened his eyes in a daze but soon his face turned pale with fear.

The flame was still present but the chilly gleam had disappeared!

However, this flame began to weaken significantly and did him no harm while the chilly gleam was nowhere to be seen.

He was confused by the fact that he was still alive. So, he tapped into his?Divine Mindfulness

to look through his body and he was shocked by his discovery.

“Tier Two Warrior! I’ve become a Warrior!”

“How did the Fire Dragon’s Fire end up in my Dantian? The hail is in here too?”

Realizing that he had gone from a Tier Ten Warrior Apprentice to a Tier Two Warrior, he was lost in his thoughts for a moment at this peculiar change. He had failed in his advancement to Warriorhood yet emerged as a Tier Two Warrior.

Before he was over his shock, a mysterious message entered into his mind. As though as it was engraved in his Divine Mindfulness, it was stuck in his memory and was impossible to forget.

Unable to endure the powerful message that jumped into his?Knowledge Sea

, his face grimaced with pain. Soon, the message sending was complete.

Rows and rows of rune-like golden words swiveled in his mind.

“Immemorial Ice Crystal!

“Heaven and Earth Reincarnation!

“Huh? My soul has perfectly integrated.”

Upon realizing his current situation, Li Lingtian cried out in alarm with a strange look on his face.

With the perfect blend and merging of two souls, as well as the wisdom from his twenty-first century past, he could finally make sense out of everything.

The hail from his past life was triggered by that Immemorial Ice Crystal. He was naturally akin to water, and water and ice were from the same origin. Who would have thought that the Immemorial Ice Crystal would bring his soul to Sky Cloud Sect to take possession of a Fire-path genius? As ice and fire were conflicting elements, a genius ended up a good-for-nothing.

The Heaven and Earth Reincarnation was sealed inside the Immemorial Ice Crystal. His fall into the bottomless flaming abyss inadvertently triggered the Fire Dragon’s Heart, leading it to enter his Dantian and work against the Immemorial Ice Crystal.

Then, the immemorial Ice Crystal’s Heaven and Earth Reincarnation was activated, balancing the flame from the Fire Dragon’s Heart and cold from the Immemorial Ice Crystal. As this flesh was a Blazing Sacred Body, the integration of souls in the raging flames had pushed his cultivation level to Tier Two Warrior.

“Haha, Haha!

“I can’t believe I have a Blazing Sacred Body. With this body and the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation, I’ll be able to cause havoc in this life.”

As he came to grips with the situation, Li Lingtian could not hold in his laughter any longer. His eyes held a fearsome glint; he finally saw light at the end of the tunnel after two deaths.

“Ice Vitality Warrior Soul! The Immemorial Ice Crystal has become an Ice Vitality Warrior Soul!”

Overjoyed, he carefully examined the Immemorial Ice Crystals and realized that apart from the Fire-path Warrior Soul, there was another Warrior Soul in existence — the Ice Vitality Warrior Soul.

The integration of souls and past life’s wisdom gave him an insight that it was all due to the Immemorial Ice Crystal for he, who was akin to water had attained an Ice Vitality Warrior Soul.

It was unheard of for a person to possess two Warrior Souls, and of conflicting elements too.

“Ice Vitality Warrior Soul, come!”

At that thought, he circulated his Warrior body’s True Qi and released an extreme chill from his body to form a deep blue knuckle-sized ray. The Immemorial Ice Crystal continued to spin in providing this cold pressure.

Without warning, the endless flames transformed into glaciers but the Flaming True Qi in his body quietly remained, unaffected by the conflict.

“Fuh.”

He slowly let out a breath. This Ice Vitality Warrior Soul was simply revering.

A mere single strand of Ice True Qi was capable of unleashing such a powerful force within him. In this case, a Warrior could be frozen to an ice sculpture.

“With my cultivation level still low, I can’t unleash the Ice Vitality Warrior Soul’s full potential. I’ll have to build my strength and bring this Ice Vitality Warrior Soul to full play but first, I must find a way to refine the Immemorial Ice Crystal.”

Li Lingtian exhaled slowly and plopped his butt onto the ground. Although the Ice Vitality Warrior Soul carried a shocking force, he was not in full control even when he forcefully unleashed it a little. Moreover, his Ice Vitality Warrior Soul was still fully dependent on the Immemorial Ice Crystal.

He had to figure out a way to fortify the Ice Vitality Warrior Soul. The taste of being omnipotent was capable of making one lose their mind.

After that, Li Lingtian swiftly stabilized his state and sustained his Tier Two Warrior cultivation, which included the activated Blazing Sacred Body and extreme Ice Vitality Warrior Warrior Soul.

…

“Flaming True Qi, return!

“Allow me to breakthrough.”

Two days later, Li Lingtian’s bodily state was stabilized. He used to cultivate Flaming Divine Fits daily and although it was only an Amber level inferior skill, it proved capable.

Besides, tempering the Blazing Sacred Body in the flames during cultivation was the goal. In two days, there were already signs of breakthrough in his Tier Two peak Warrior state.

“Haha, Tier Three Warrior, Tier Three Warrior! I can be lost in this feeling of omnipotence.”

His Flaming True Qi burst through the Tier Two boundary and landed him completely within the Tier Three stage. With the Fire Dragon’s Heart in Fire Dragon Cave taken away, the flames were not that strong to begin with. After playing a hand in it, the flames here had begun to weaken immensely.

“Yang Tianfeng, just you wait.

“I will retrieve the glory that is mine. Wait for me, the world, wait to tremble at my feet!

“Oh bugger, how do I get out of here?”

Li Lingtian grew confident with his Tier Three Warrior’s ability. A flame of destruction brewed within him at the thought of the month-long taunts and Yang Tianfeng’s dirty tricks.

His eyes moved upwards as he looked at the endless flames spiraling to the top, but he could not gauge the height. If he wished for glory and honor, he had to first get out of here.

Li Lingtian then began to search around for a way to leave this place.

Finally, a bending passageway was presented before him. With one look, he knew that this sixteen-feet long passageway was the Fire Dragon’s entrance path.

Li Lingtian did not hesitate upon finding this passageway. Very quickly, he walked out. The further outwards he moved, the lower the scorching temperature was until he could no longer feel the heat.

After having walked several feet, he came to a waterhole but there was no pathway ahead. With slight hesitation, he jumped and vanished in the waterhole.
