“I had no idea you possessed the Power of Three. You should know, in the vast multitude of realms, those who possess the Power of Three are rare. It seems you indeed have remarkable talent, young man. With this, I can confidently entrust my legacy to you!”
The elder’s face was filled with joy.
“Sir, who are you?” Jared asked.
“I am Fire Spirit Lord, who has spent a lifetime cultivating various supreme fires. You’re fortunate to encounter me. I etched my understanding of martial arts techniques into the inner wall of the bronze cauldron, seeking the most fated individual. I can’t believe the one fated to find it would be a young Draconian!” Fire Spirit Lord spoke slowly.
“Fire Spirit Lord?”
Jared’s brow furrowed slightly. He had never heard this name before. Subsequently, he asked, “Since you also manipulate fire, who is more powerful, you or Inferno Devil?”
“Inferno Devil? Is that the one who imbued you with the demonic fire within?” Fire Spirit Lord asked. If Jared had a demonic fire, it must be from the Inferno Devil’s teachings.
Jared shook his head. “Although my ultimate fire originated from him, it wasn’t something he taught me…”
“Have you not noticed that when your demonic fire encounters my flames, it’s like a grandson meeting his grandfather? That Inferno Devil of yours is nothing. The most formidable demonic fire in the demon clan is the Fire Demon Lord. Unfortunately, I haven’t encountered him on this battlefield. Otherwise, I would have sparred with him.” Fire Spirit Lord appeared disappointed.
Listening to the words of Fire Spirit Lord, Jared felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. In the eyes of the Fire Spirit Lord, the Inferno Devil seemed insignificant. Jared couldn’t fathom how formidable his future enemies might become.
“Sir, how exactly did the Celestial Battle start? Many cultivators were killed or injured, and several demon leaders were suppressed. Did you die here and leave behind your soul remnant?”
Jared wanted to learn more about the Celestial Battle from Fire Spirit Lord.
“Nonsense, how could such a trivial battlefield possibly lead to my downfall? I merely came to the Ethereal Realm to halt the battle and leave this legacy here. As a descendant of the Golden Dragon lineage, how could your vision be so limited? This Ethereal Realm is merely a lower plane of existence. Even the Celestial Battle of the past was nothing more than a skirmish between insignificant beings.”
“The immortals, demons, or even those from the beast race, including Draconians, all have participated in this. The Ethereal Realm is in utter chaos, with lives being devastated. I came here to put a stop to it. If someone like me had participated in the war, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even see the existence of the Ethereal Realm by now. It would have collapsed long ago. The Celestial Battle led to the collapse of over three thousand planes. Even the celestial realm was not spared, with hundreds of worlds fragmenting and disintegrating, completely vanishing into the annals of history. As for the cause of the Celestial Battle, it remains a mystery to this day,” the Fire Spirit Lord explained.
The words of the Fire Spirit Lord deeply shook Jared, and he felt ignorant. Initially, when he encountered the major demon overlords, he thought they were at the pinnacle.
But now, it seemed that these demon overlords were outstanding only in the Ethereal Realm. In other planes, they might be insignificant.
Jared fell into silent contemplation. He had worked so hard in the Ethereal Realm, striving to excel and fear nothing.
Yet, he had not reached the point of dominating the Ethereal Realm when he discovered that it was just a small, low-level plane.
Beyond the Ethereal Realm, there were countless other worlds.
It was like a diligent student in a school who studied hard, wanting to be the top student in the entire school.
In his eyes, being number one in school was the ultimate achievement!
