Xu Nian's fire clone is left alone in the desolate Fallen God Realm, a place where powerful cultivators are suppressed and ancient wills linger. The Beiming God King departs to attend to other matters, leaving Xu Nian to search for the rare Red Divine Stone, which is said to aid in cultivating the Chaos Fire. While exploring, Xu Nian narrowly escapes an attack from a God King level expert guarding a golden star.

In a flash, three years had passed, and during these three years, Xu Nian was completely immersed in the devouring of the pill’s power.

He almost pushed his cultivation technique to its limits, taking advantage of Fire Spirit Mountain’s properties to madly devour the pill’s strength.

Finally, his cultivation broke through from the early-stage Divine to the mid-stage Divine.

"Alas, without the Chaos Divine Palace, this cultivation speed is really slow," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

In the Chaos Divine Palace, three years would be like three thousand years.

This thousandfold difference is not something that can be compensated for.

Now, to advance from early-stage Divine to mid-stage in three years is already considered miraculous.

"I’ve exhausted all my pills, and now to break through to the late-stage Divine would take at least a few hundred years. It seems that conventional cultivation methods won’t work; I need to think of other ways," Xu Nian mused to himself.

The pills he held in his hands were almost entirely consumed. It was nearly impossible to forcefully advance with pills alone.

He now had to find other methods.

So Xu Nian began to leave the cave he had been cultivating in and roamed the surroundings.

When Xu Nian arrived at a shattered constant star, his face showed a look of surprise.

This star was already in the last stage of its life, reduced to only a quarter of its original size, yet its form was still immensely large.

It was imaginable how grand its scale was when fully intact, being one of the largest stars Xu Nian had ever seen.

However, it wasn’t the star’s size that truly attracted him, but rather its temperature.

"The temperature of this star is tens of thousands of times higher than ordinary stars. Even standing hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, I feel my skin burning," Xu Nian muttered in surprise.

He was of the Divine level, and even a unique exotic beast like Fire Spirit Mountain.

Logically, a star’s flames shouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest.

But the temperature radiating from this star could scorch him—this was clearly abnormal.

"It seems the flames of this star are somewhat special, as if something is inside them, like there’s something in the star’s core," Xu Nian tried to probe but could only reach the surface of the star with his Divine Soul, unable to bear any more, he had to give up.

But he still sensed that something was driving the star to burn and accelerate inside.

"Perhaps it’s worth exploring," Xu Nian thought to himself.

He then flew towards the star.

Now, he needed to seek his opportunity, and this star was very strange; perhaps it could offer an unexpected chance.

Of course, Xu Nian did not want to miss this opportunity.

As Xu Nian reached the star’s surface, he felt an overwhelming heat wave hit him.

The terrifying heat wave instantly incinerated his robe.

Xu Nian could only use his divine power to conjure a new robe, feeling the terrible temperature, Xu Nian couldn’t help but marvel internally.

"Merely the surface temperature can scorch those of Divine level, and if not for my body being Fire Spirit Mountain, it couldn’t withstand this horrifying temperature." Xu Nian sighed inwardly.

One must understand that those of Divine level can long ignore the temperature of a star’s core, let alone the surface of such a star.

This star was clearly unusual.

Xu Nian attempted to activate the cultivation technique "Chaos Fire Technique" and tried to absorb the flame divine power within this star.

As Xu Nian absorbed, he was astonished to discover that his own divine power was surging.

"Eh? The flame divine power contained in this star is so intense, even stronger than when I consumed the Daluo Shendan?" Xu Nian was shocked internally.

Doesn’t that mean this star itself is a huge treasure?

Setting aside the star’s secrets, just cultivating here was proving highly beneficial.

"Good, in that case, I’ll cultivate here. It seems the flame divine power within this star also aids my condensation of Chaos Fire," Xu Nian said and began to operate the cultivation technique to the fullest.

Massive divine flame power surged into Xu Nian’s body, causing his dantian to continuously grow.

With the influx of this divine power, Xu Nian’s cultivation rapidly advanced.

This cultivation speed left Xu Nian extremely satisfied.

Meanwhile, as he cultivated, he was also moving towards the interior of the star.

As Xu Nian delved deeper, the flame divine power he absorbed became increasingly terrifying.

When Xu Nian was thirty kilometers deep, the fearful flame divine power was something he could barely withstand.

Thus, he had to stop and cultivate on the spot.

This cultivation lasted half a year, and by the end of it, his cultivation had reached the limit of mid-stage Divine, just a step away from breaking through to the late-stage Divine.

Thus, Xu Nian decided once again to get up and continue inward.

This time, the terrifying flame divine power around him burned him a little less, but it still caused significant pain.

However, Xu Nian still endured the pain and continued to absorb madly.

After advancing about another three kilometers, the terrifying flame divine power was drilling into his body like a giant dragon.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the terrifying flame divine power exploded.

Xu Nian’s cultivation directly broke through to the late-stage Divine level.

"Damn, it took me five years to go from early-stage Divine to mid-stage Divine, yet from mid-stage to late-stage Divine, it took less than two years. This cultivation speed is terrifying." Feeling the change in his cultivation, Xu Nian’s face showed a look of ecstatic joy.

This constant star is definitely a treasure for fire attribute cultivators.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a terrifying flame light suddenly rushed towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was shocked and hurriedly summoned a shield he crafted of Daluo God Middle Stage level.

"Clang!"

The flame light collided with the shield, emitting a buzzing sound like a copper bell.

Then Xu Nian felt an unparalleled force emanating from the shield.

He was then directly blown away by this terrifying force, retreating to the star’s edge.

"What was that? That attack’s power must have been equivalent to a Peak of God level expert’s strike," Xu Nian thought to himself in astonishment.

Looking at the shield in his hand, he saw that a dent had appeared on its surface.

This made Xu Nian even more shocked.

The flame light was clearly a tangible object, but its speed was so fast that Xu Nian couldn’t see what it was.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the flame light approached again.

Xu Nian immediately felt as if faced with a formidable enemy, quickly retreated, exiting the star’s edge.

However, as Xu Nian exited the star’s range, the flame light unexpectedly stopped.

With it stopped, Xu Nian finally saw the true identity of this flame light.

It was actually a Divine Fire Worm!

"Why is this thing here?" Xu Nian thought in shock.

He seemed to guess what was inside the star.
