Many challengers attempted to subdue the Spiritual Fire and were burned. A figure in black explained that it was 'rootless fire.' As people searched fruitlessly, Chen Yang observed the mysterious figure. When the crowd grew impatient and disrespectful, Chen Yang defended the late Fire Sun True Monarch, drawing their ire. Suddenly, the Fire Sun True Monarch manifested as a phantom, terrifying the disrespectful challengers into begging for mercy. Chen Yang and the figure in black paid their respects, and the phantom revealed that all opportunities lay within the Skyflame Tower, which it then produced.

Then it heavily fell in the center of the great hall.

The tower stood, about over two meters high.

Only about a meter wide, roughly similar to a tall human body.

The crowd was excited, yet puzzled.

Such a small tower, what opportunity could it hold?

And there didn’t seem to be any strong spiritual energy fluctuations felt either.

Everyone was puzzled, but no one spoke to ask; it was the spectral vision of Fire Sun True Monarch in the great hall who explained himself.

"People of later generations, this tower is the Legacy Tower of my true self. Whoever can pass through the nine floors of the tower can obtain my legacy and inherit my mantle."

"The tower is extremely dangerous... Be cautious in deciding whether to enter."

Fire Sun True Monarch gave a rough explanation of the function of the Skyflame Tower.

This Skyflame Tower, each floor contains its own opportunities.

And after passing through, one can gain according to their own luck.

The higher the level, the more precious the opportunities.

The opportunity at the highest level is the direct acquisition of Fire Sun True Monarch’s mantle.

This is a heavenly opportunity.

Everyone on the scene was moved after hearing it.

But they were also worried.

The legacy of Fire Sun True Monarch is not so easily obtained.

This Skyflame Tower must be extremely perilous, definitely not simple.

A moment of carelessness, one’s life could be forfeited within it.

"Thank you True Monarch for the guidance, this junior is willing to enter the tower for a try."

After listening to Fire Sun True Monarch’s phantom introduce it, the man in black had no hesitation and decided to enter first.

"Good."

Fire Sun True Monarch nodded slightly, and then with a sword gesture, sent the man in black into the tower.

"Senior, this junior is also willing to give it a try." Chen Yang saw this and quickly clasped his fists in declaration.

The phantom didn’t say much, directly sending Chen Yang inside too.

After he went in, the others were not willing to lag behind, expressing their desire to enter too.

Although most people were apprehensive inside.

Afraid of the complex situations inside the tower.

But having not tried, their hearts were not content, so everyone entered the first level.

The inside of the tower was a completely enclosed space.

The walls of the space were all piled with hard stones.

Except for the flames burning on the walls and a closed stone door in the distance, there was nothing else.

"Is this the interior of the tower? It’s much larger."

"Where’s the opportunity?"

"True Monarch, please bestow the opportunity."

Most people entered here with a look of confusion and their hearts pounding.

Fear of such unknown horror was quite normal.

"Very well, you’ve all entered. What follows is the beginning of the trial of the first level,"

Just when everyone was bewildered, the phantom of Fire Sun True Monarch reappeared before everyone.

"The first level of Skyflame Tower, engulfed in flames, everyone only needs to endure for two quarters of an hour to proceed to the second level," said Fire Sun True Monarch.

As his words fell, the flames that were slowly burning on the stone wall suddenly surged.

The temperature within the whole space quickly rose at the same time.

The moment the flames ignited, Fire Sun True Monarch’s phantom also disappeared from everyone’s view.

"Is this the first level? Getting roasted by fire?"

Old Li spoke up again.

He wore a face of disdain, completely disregarding the surrounding flames.

There were people who thought like him too, truly believing the first level of Fire Sun True Monarch’s Skyflame Tower was this easy to pass through.

"Haha, this is too easy, it seems like the opportunity of the first level will basically be handed to us for free."

"The intensity of the flames isn’t great; enduring for two quarters shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s take some time to prepare for the second level."

...

Most of them had some trepidation when they entered the first level.

But now having entered, finding it too easy, they all became interested in the second level, ready to move on.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile as he watched their arrogant demeanor.

So foolish.

If Fire Sun True Monarch’s opportunity were really so easy to obtain, then why bother setting up checkpoints?

Naively foolish.

But he didn’t say anything, found a quiet spot and sat down cross-legged, patiently waiting for changes, and for the time to pass.

Old Li and the others were talking energetically.

After about ten minutes, things started to feel increasingly wrong.

The temperature inside was constantly rising.

After such a lengthy time, the temperature had already risen to a terrifying degree.

They were being roasted, drenched in sweat and deeply anxious.

"How is the temperature constantly rising? It won’t continue to rise indefinitely, will it?" Old Li’s face no longer bore an expression of disdain.

Instead, it was replaced by a face of tension.

If it continued to rise like this, he absolutely couldn’t withstand it.

Not only him, most people couldn’t resist this wave of high temperatures.

No one answered his question, as many were currently struggling to cope themselves.

Those of higher realm were better.

As long as one had the power of mid-stage Condensation, the roasting degree of these flames wasn’t that high.

Barely manageable.

Chen Yang opened his eyes and glanced at Old Li.

Found that old fellow like an ant on a hot pan now, desperately pacing in circles.

Evidently somewhat unable to bear the high temperature.

Chen Yang saw his embarrassed state, naturally smiled lightly, and then said no more.

Closed his eyes again, began to circulate spiritual energy.

Although the current heat could not yet threaten him, the temperature was continuously rising.

It’s always good to be prepared, as it will reach a point when it becomes unbearable, so why not start circulating spiritual energy to resist the heat earlier?

"Enough, Old Li, shut up quickly. These flames aren’t ordinary flames, they’re Spiritual Fire. If you don’t use spiritual energy to resist, you’ll be burned alive,"

City Lord Jin, being knowledgeable, realized the extraordinariness of this first level, reproached Old Li as he himself hurriedly sat like Chen Yang and the man in black.

Circulating spiritual power to resist the heat.

Old Li and the others did the same.

After starting to use spiritual energy to resist the heat, it did prove somewhat relieving.

But this relieved state didn’t last long.

Because at this time, the flames had already flared up even more.

The room’s temperature also skyrocketed.

Exactly how high it was, Chen Yang didn’t know.

But the sensation was extremely uncomfortable.

Suffocating, skin being scorched by flames, the burning pain...

Just couldn’t be described.

In a blink, it had been an hour since the start.

An hour had allowed the room’s temperature to escalate to an extremely daunting level.

At this moment, everyone felt it was no longer mere roasting.

But as if being engulfed in magma.

Fiery magma enveloped the whole body, scorching pain permeated everywhere.

As if the body’s moisture was on the verge of being entirely evaporated...

This level of temperature made Chen Yang, City Lord Jin, and others very uncomfortable.

Even when operating their spiritual energy to the fullest to resist, they still felt whole body pain.

As though about to be evaporated.

But Chen Yang could still endure this painful sensation for the time being.

No matter how painful.

But if the temperature inside continued to ascend, it might not remain that way.

At this time, Old Li and others had already been unable to withstand such high temperatures.

Directly roasted to an unbearable degree, rolling in agony, letting out harrowing wails.
