Chapter 1516: Chapter 1515: Four Symbols Fire Ancestor, Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining

The gigantic altar stood like the Pillar of Heaven-reaching.

All around, multicolored lights flickered.

On the altar, all the power transformed into a torrent, sweeping through the void.

The focus of this torrent was the four crystals not far away.

These four crystals, like the power of the Four Symbols, represented the azure of the Azure Dragon, the white of the White Tiger, the red of the Vermilion Bird, and the blue of the Black Tortoise.

The power of the four crystals converged, forming a figure that resisted the torrent of the altar.

At this moment, Tie Men saw the figure condensed by the Four Symbols Flame Crystal and exclaimed, “Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.”

Only then did everyone focus their gaze on the figure.

The vision of the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor had left a great shock on everyone, so they were curious about what kind of person it was.

His appearance seemed to be around thirty years old.

He wore a green robe imprinted with the Four Symbol Beasts.

With an extraordinary temperament, overturning heaven and earth, never falling from the azure sky.

His stance was upright, his face full of concealed vicissitudes, his eyes as ferocious as a Monster Beast.

One could only imagine how frenzied he must have been in life.

His nose was high and straight, with long hair that was half red and half black.

He stood there, surrounded by flames that completely submitted to him.

“Remarkable, as a person of the Fire Tribe, he separated himself from the flames.

He has already surpassed the limits of this race,” Xu Zimei marveled.

The Fire Tribe cannot exist without flames.

Or, looking at the Blazing Flame Realm,

The places they live must be hot.

But the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor was different; he separated himself from the flames, becoming both a member of the Fire Tribe, mastering all fires,

and an independent existence, unrestrained by flames.

“If that’s the case, does that mean the flaws of the Fire Tribe can’t affect him?” Xu Zimei thought in astonishment.

Back then, the Water God Gong Tu, with absolute power, tried to fix the flaws of the Fire Tribe and ultimately created the Myriad Water Streams.

But now it also showed Xu Zimei a second method.

By breaking free from the Fire Tribe’s constraints, he could avoid its flaws.

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

The method of the Water God Gong Tu is a one-and-done solution that can solve all Fire Tribe problems.

But the method of the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor seems to only work for individuals and cannot be widely applied.

Nevertheless, to reach this step, describing it as unparalleled through the ages is not an exaggeration.

……

“Resembling yet not quite capturing the essence,” Tie Men sighed upon seeing this.

The last master of the Four Symbols Flame Crystal was the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.

So when they encountered danger, they condensed the image of the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor to deal with enemies.

However, they could never mimic the unmatched aura of the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.

That aura belonged to a strong individual.

Some are dominantly unparalleled, while others are ethereal and transcendent.

Four Pillars of Heaven-reaching fused together, standing against the altar’s power.

But if you look closely, you’ll find that the altar’s true purpose is not to destroy the Four Symbols Flame Crystal.

Instead, it is to hold them in place or keep them from being free, resulting in a stalemate.

Beside the Four Symbols Flame Crystal, something was gradually consuming their power.

This thing, black and pipe-like, was unrecognizable to everyone.

Because of the altar’s presence, the Four Symbols Flame Crystal had no time to care for the black pipe, allowing it to consume freely.

In the short term, it’s not a problem.

But in the long run, as the power of the Four Symbols Flame Crystal is continuously consumed, they might not be able to withstand the altar.

By then, it will be their moment of breaking.

“Damn, it’s a good thing we came early, otherwise they’d have succeeded,” Tie Men said angrily.

“Weren’t you just about to run away?” Xu Zimei asked with a half-smile.

“That was a strategic retreat, planning to seek reinforcements, okay?” Tie Men argued.

“Otherwise, it would have been a needless sacrifice.”

“Do you recognize this thing?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I don’t,” Tie Men shook his head.

“I don’t even know when this thing came in.”

Xu Zimei first walked up to the altar.

He closely examined it.

The altar was tall, radiating strong power, carrying an ancient aura.

Because of how long it had been around, the surface of the altar was pitted and worn.

However, in the lower right corner, Xu Zimei could faintly make out two words.

“Heaven Refining.”

He murmured softly.

The others were unaware, but Tie Men seemed to recall something.

He asked in amazement, “Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining?

How is this possible, impossible, impossible.”

Tie Men’s words were inexplicable, retreating several steps.

Moreover, the sentences were disjointed.

“The Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining is clearly dead, it makes no sense.

Besides, what would he want with the Four Symbols Flame Crystal?”

“Not really, this isn’t the Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining, it’s just the Heaven Refining Cauldron.

No wonder it slipped in unnoticed.”

“What are you talking about?” Xiao Anshan asked curiously.

“The true name of this altar should be the Heaven Refining Cauldron.

It’s an object owned by one of the oldest Fire Ancestors of the Fire Tribe.

This Fire Ancestor is called the Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining.

When tracing its origins and history, it predates even the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor.

It was an ancient ancestor existing in the Primordial Era.”

Tie Men, recovering from his shock, began to explain.

“It was only later that the Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining was killed.

Since then, the Heaven Refining Cauldron disappeared.

Now it seems someone has obtained the Heaven Refining Cauldron, intending to steal the Four Symbols Flame Crystal.

This Heaven Refining Cauldron existed only in legends, I’ve never seen it before.

It’s said that there’s nothing it can’t refine.

It seems the Heaven Refining Cauldron refined this land, which is why I wasn’t aware.”

“How could the Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining, being so powerful, be killed?” Xiao Anshan asked, puzzled.

“Actually, I’ve heard, the Four Symbols Fire Ancestor mentioned it by chance.

In the Primordial Era, a great battle occurred.

The Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining chose the wrong side and was torn to pieces by the opposition, dying a tragic death,” Tie Men sighed.

“You mean Demon’s Advent?” Xiao Anshan quickly responded.

He was the next generation Fire Ancestor of the Chaos Fire Realm.

So he was somewhat familiar with ancient history.

Some say that after the Primordial Era ended, the Ancient Era began.

But the truth is, the true prominent figures knew that after the Primordial, came the era of Demon’s Advent.

The Demon Race ended the Primordial.

The Fire Ancestor of Heaven Refining probably sided with the Primordial faction, and in the end, the Primordial was disastrously defeated, and he perished.

However, the era of Demon’s Advent was not very long.

With the Demon Lord launching the third Heaven Challenge War.

After its failure, the entire Nine Domains began a counterattack, leading to the great defeat of the Demon Race, and their exile marked the beginning of the Ancient Era.

“These are all ancient matters, who can truly know the truth?” Tie Men replied helplessly.
