Chapter 786: 786

His word filled Jiang Chen with anticipation . However, later, when he had heard the way the Flame Emperor had been talking, he said disappointedly, “So, I still have to count on myself . “

The Flame Emperor before him was only a projected image that couldn’t be of any actual help . That being said, he could still take advantage of the Divine Fire Ring, powered by the Fire Meteorite and aided by Jiang Chen’s Sky-burning Evil Flame and Divine Fire Scripture .

Lifting his chin, the Flame Emperor said confidently, “My Divine Fire Ring isn’t only used for us to talk . It can empower you to defeat great Venerables . “

Jiang Chen nodded . Without the Divine Fire Ring, even though he had the Sky-burning Evil Flame and the Fire Meteorite, he wouldn’t be able to achieve what the Flame Emperor had promised him .

“Let’s start,” Jiang Chen said .

Then immediately, the Divine Fire Ring smoked, the ring burnt red . Jiang Chen’s fingers were hurt, too .

Fortunately, I have the divine body . Otherwise, my fingers would have been burnt up . Jiang Chen felt lucky .

Soon, as the burning flames went back into the Divine Fire Ring, the red ring also went back to normal . Jiang Chen saw the ring was carved with a line of runes that wasn’t easy to notice .

“The Divine Fire Ring is ready . I’ll teach you how to connect to yourself through the Fire Meteorite . ” The flames had vanished, and Flame Emperor was also gone, but his voice came from the Divine Fire Ring . Jiang Chen listened to him wholeheartedly .

After a long while, he looked at the Fire Meteorite in his hand in a complicated way, as if he was struggling . As the Flame Emperor said, the Divine Fire Ring could use the Fire Meteorite as fuel . He would have strong power, but it was only temporary . He would lose this strong power after a single use .

And what he consumed was the Fire Meteorite .

“What a waste!” Jiang Chen didn’t like the ungrateful Xiahous at all, but he also didn’t want a lose-lose situation . It was stupid to kill a thousand enemies by losing eight hundred men . The Fire Meteorite would be of great help if he kept it .

“It’s up to you . I’ve kept my promise! Remember . Don’t call me out unless something important arises . “

Then he could no longer perceive any of Flame Emperor’s energy from the Divine Fire Ring . Why can’t I have it both ways? Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up after a short hesitation .

He had read numerous mysterious ancient books and records . It was natural that he would come up with such an idea . In his opinion, the Flame Emperor’s method was a great waste, as it was quite unnecessary . Since he could take advantage of the Divine Fire Scripture, there was actually a lot that he could do .

“The Divine Fire Scripture is the energy source of the Divine Fire Ring . I can exert the Divine Fire Scripture to drive the Sky-burning Evil Flame . “

After thinking it over, Jiang Chen started to work on it . The goal was to put the Fire Meteorite into good use .

An idea occurred to him a day later . “The Fire Meteorite is the most important since it’s irreplaceable . If I use the Flame Emperor’s way, it’s inevitable that I’ll consume it .

“However, I won’t just use it as fuel . I’ll also use it as a practice resource . “

This was Jiang Chen’s method . That was to say, he could absorb the energy of the Fire Meteorite when he had the strong power from the Fire Meteorite . After he lost the strong power, he would still be improved .

Jiang Chen tried to figure out the principle of the Flame Emperor’s way first . Then he thought there was a good chance he could do it .

The Divine Fire Ring was the key—he was going to change the ring .

Time flew by with Jiang Chen immersed in his own world . He neither ate nor drank . He had thousands of ideas in his head .

“Dude, what are you doing?! The Divine Fire Ring means you’re qualified for the inheritance . Things will go wrong if you keep destroying its interior structure!” The Flame Emperor was awoken again suddenly, seething with rage .

The flame in the shape of a human body soared to 15 feet high . It was so overwhelming that even the wind and clouds were disturbed .

“Both the design of the Divine Fire Ring and the Divine Fire Scripture have traps in them . Once I get caught in the trap, you’ll be the one that decides my life or death . If you disqualify anyone, is spontaneous combustion will occur,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone .

He had had the feeling that there was something odd about the Divine Fire Ring . After investigating, he had found out this was true .

“I certainly need some tricks in this competition of inheritance!” the Flame Emperor said with great confidence . He didn’t think it was a big deal .

“What I hate the most is to be calculated and have my life decided by others . “

“You’re disqualified!”

Flame Emperor flew into a rage . He couldn’t stand Jiang Chen anymore . He said in anger, “You can’t use the Divine Fire Scripture and the Divine Fire Ring from now on . “

“If I insist on using them, what can you do?” Jiang Chen said, smiling .

The burning flames on the Flame Emperor’s body soared again . It looked like a god of fire had appeared, churning up the wind and clouds .

Jiang Chen stayed calm . These flames couldn’t hurt him at all .

Clatter!

Suddenly, all of the burning flames were sucked back at once . The Flame Emperor went back to his normal size of a human being . The overwhelming and oppressive feeling that had existed in the surroundings also disappeared .

“Great . Great . You just passed another test . ” The Flame Emperor looked kind and satisfied, like a different person from just now .

Squinting, Jiang Chen wasn’t sure whether it was true or only the Flame Emperor’s trick to calm him down .

“I know what you’re doing, but it’s impossible . There’s no such thing as having it both ways in the world . ” The Flame Emperor didn’t care whether Jiang Chen believed him or not .

Looking at the Divine Fire Ring and shaking his head, he said, “One way out and one way in, everything in the universe is conserved . You get the strong power from the Divine Fire Ring . This is the way out . At the same time, you want to strengthen yourself . The way out and the way in contradict each other . You’ll just be upset for nothing .

“That’s exactly what human beings use their wisdom for—to resolve these problems . I don’t expect the Fire Meteorite to bring me huge improvements . I only expect it to function as a practice resource to the fullest,” Jiang Chen said .

“Good luck then, but don’t act recklessly . Once the Divine Fire Ring is damaged, you might not die, but you’ll be disqualified for real,” the Flame Emperor said .

“I won’t . ” Jiang Chen didn’t want to dissociate himself from the Flame Emperor so quickly, either . After all, he was a Martial Sovereign . Even though it was only normal communication between them, Jiang Chen still felt hugely benefited .

Four days later, the Divine Fire Ring kept shining . When Jiang Chen’s palm faced up, the ring created a small swirl there . He put the Fire Meteorite on his palm, and it was absorbed in an instant .

The swirl disappeared . The Divine Fire Ring became extremely brilliant . Jiang Chen was caught unprepared by severe pain .

Gnashing his teeth and enduring the pain, he started to read the Divine Fire Scripture to himself . Starting from the finger with the Divine Fire Ring on, his blood vessels turned all kinds of flame colors .

It was his entire arms that changed its color first . Then it was his neck, and then it was his face . In the end, the color of his entire body changed .

When even the tiny blood vessels around his pupils had been affected as well, Jiang Chen opened his eyes . His black eyes were the eyes of fire . There were two flames emitting from them .

The stone mountain before him was burnt up right away, its interior melted . The mountain collapsed, and the whole world was shaking .

Jiang Chen’s facial expression changed . He hurried to close his eyes and fly into the air . By then, the blood vessels in his body had also gone back to normal . He beamed when he perceived the warm current flowing in his body .

“I did it!”

The Flame Emperor, who had been observing him, exclaimed, “Dude, you’re really something . “

What was amazing about Jiang Chen wasn’t only that he had done it, but that he had created an unprecedented practice method .

The Fire Meteorite was a rare resource, but it wasn’t easy to melt it and absorb its energy . Since this way would help Jiang Chen achieve success in any fight he was involved in, it was almost a way to cheat during fights!
