Chapter 152 Chaotic Fire Zone And Chaotic Fire Skill

Thanks to the shield covering his body which had been generated by the Flame Zone, Ricky could bear the high temperature and so he could swim his way to go deeper and deeper under the lava pool. However, controlled and guided by the Flame Zone, Ricky couldn't find any signs that he was going to be allowed to resurface anytime soon. The Flame Zone kept pushing him to go down, as if the bottom of this lava pool would soon be reached. Despite his belief in its mighty power to protect him, this growing depth in the lava pool made it impossible not to worry about his own safety. "How far down does the Flame Zone intend to lead me? It has been quite a while since it pulled me into the molten lava from the surface of the pool," Ricky asked himself as he began to feel panic. The high temperature around him was reaching an extreme.

Despite the protection from the Flame Zone, Ricky had to admit the truth that no matter how powerful the Flame Zone was, sooner or later, he might not survive from the extremely high heat.

To his amazement, he finally was allowed to stop after half an hour of diving.

Looking at his surroundings, Ricky could at first find nothing but the molten lava everywhere. It seemed boundless.

Then he took a close look towards a particular direction. He found a huge cave was there, several meters in front of him. Around the huge cave, mysterious fire was burning. Even if he was some distance from the cave, Ricky could still feel the high temperature, which he speculated might be even higher than the temperature of the lava he was in.

He immediately got cold feet and couldn't help but tremble at this. However, unlike Ricky, the Flame Zone seemed to want to approach the cave fire. In Ricky's mind, the Flame Zone expressed a sense of excitement, stirring restlessly.

Feeling this, Ricky finally realized why the Flame Zone guided him so hastily deep down here.

'So interesting! It looks like the cave fire attracts the Flame Zone. But what about the inside? Will there be something even more unexpected if I enter the cave?' Ricky thought, broadening the possibilites. By the time Ricky snapped back to reality from the Flame Zone, he found that he already stood in front of the entrance into the cave.

At the moment, the fire surrounding the entrance burned fiercely, preventing anyone from entering the cave.

However, Ricky's curiosity got the best of him and he decided to move forward regardless of the fire. Before he could have a chance to embark on his exploration of the cave's interior, the fire at the entrance turned even more intense. Other than that, the fire even started to spread its range toward Ricky's direction, as if it were alive and would soon morph into a living creature!

Meanwhile, a supernatural phenomenon took place. Between Ricky and the entrance, a large empty space came into sight, as the large amount of lava moved its way out of the space that it used to occupy.

"Roar!!!"

The fire rose higher and higher, and then ten giant fiery dragons flew out from the fire and charged toward Ricky.

Seeing such an ominous attack, Ricky's heart began to thump faster as he felt the danger coming his way. 'Damn it!!! I should have been careful about the fire. It seems that the fire is alive and I have just angered it unintentionally. Am I simply going to die here?' That was the first thought that crossed his mind.

However, the Flame Zone created by his regained spiritual meridian was capable of far more than Ricky could imagine! Right before the terrifying fiery dragons reached Ricky, the protective flame shield

abruptly engaged itself around Ricky. This shield, which was originally released from the Flame Zone to guard Ricky from the extremely hot environment, functioned again for a higher purpose!

Centered on Ricky's body, countless lines of bright lights containing great energy and power, burst out like millions of sharp sparks. In the face of such a powerful attack, those fiery dragons could do nothing but turn back into their original form—the intense fire!

Ricky heaved a deep sigh at the result. But before he could express his relief, the protective flame seemed to have no intention of giving up. To take advantage of the weakness of its enemies, the protective flame gathered strong power provided by the Flame Zone and transformed itself into an invisible but huge net. All of the fire around the entrance of the cave was all wrapped under this.

As a consequence, the fire became weaker and weaker until it totally disappeared.

The huge cave finally exposed itself without anything but a barrier remaining at the entrance. That barrier prevented the lava from entering the inside.

Ricky was stupefied to see how the raging fire around the cave now had all been absorbed by the Flame Zone.

In other words, it had been totally devoured by the Flame Zone.

After that, both the Flame Zone and the Devourer Zone began to change at the same time.

The Devouring Fire seemed to lose control and flooded out of the Devourer Zone, and then flowed into the Flame Zone through Ricky's regained spiritual meridian. Then, the process of merging began to take place!

The process lasted for quite some time, until there was no more Devouring Fire left in both the Devourer Zone and the Flame Zone.

But even if he suffered the loss of the Devouring Fire, Ricky gained something even better. Right now, he could feel the flame in the Flame Zone grew more strong and powerful than ever. It was as if with the combination of the two different types of fire, a whole new powerful fire was born in the Flame Zone.

When the Flame Zone absorbed the fire from the cave, it analyzed and recognized the cave fire and sent feedback to Ricky's mind.

That was called the Heaven Melting Fire, a very sacred sort of flame whose appearance coincided with the birth of the heaven and the earth. It was almost as strong and powerful as any other peculiar fires in this world.

Besides, the Heaven Melting Fire was also regarded as a symbol of a sort of Great Dragon, the Heaven Melting Dragon, which always surrounded by such fire.

"Heaven Melting Fire? And Heaven Melting Dragon? It appears that the dragon blood in the lava pool probably belongs to the Heaven Melting Dragon," Ricky whispered to himself.

As for the force of the Heaven Melting Fire, Ricky didn't cast a shadow of doubt at all. The words in its name—Heaven Melting—were substantial enough to tell him of its power and significance.

The only shadow inside Ricky's mind right now was whether he was going to be strong enough to wield the true power of that scared flame. Because to his knowledge, he knew he was far from strong enough to exert the Devouring Fire while battling, and the Heaven Melting Fire might be just as formidable as the Devouring Fire in being controlled.

'Well then, I suppose that the fire in the Flame Zone is the combination of the Devouring Fire and the Heaven Melting Fire, '

Ricky thought to himself, feeling the Flame Zone still changing and adjusting itself.

After a while, the Devouring Fire and the Heaven Melting Fire merged with each other completely, with many scarlet runes appearing again.

Shortly after, some of the runes transformed themselves into information and emerged in Ricky's consciousness.

Processing this information, Ricky eventually came to know what the real identity of the Flame Zone was.

"Chaotic Fire Zone! Is that your real name?" Ricky whispered to himself, full of surprise and excitement. His eyes shone as if he discovered a whole-new world.

Chaotic Fire Zone was a place the Chaotic Fire could inhabit. The Chaotic Fire dated back to the very beginning of the world, and was the most ancient kind of flame in history.

However, there were no traces of the Chaotic Fire in the Chaotic Fire Zone right now. Ricky learnt from the information provided by the runes that only when the Chaotic Fire Zone devoured peculiar fire or sacred fire from among the one hundred and eight variants, the true Chaotic Fire would probably spring forth in that zone.

Why were there still odds instead of certainty for the Chaotic Fire to be formed? Because as it was told by the runes, another condition was as important as the first. Ricky had to comprehend the Truth of Chaos. Only by achieving these two conditions could the true Chaotic Fire be in the right hands.

"Truth of Chaos? Combination of two conditions? What a bother!" Ricky whined, as he completely had no idea about what those were about.

Considering his current cultivation base, he was still not qualified enough yet to learn about forming the Chaotic Fire in the Chaotic Fire Zone.

"To find more kinds of sacred fire or peculiar fire, I have to build my strength first! Right at the moment, it's too early for me to tap the power of the Chaotic Fire. Besides, I have two kinds of fire now. It's enough for me to live a safe life in this difficult world."

But now, Ricky's attention turned back to the scarlet runes.

Those mysterious runes turned out to be the chaotic runes, which contained the Chaotic Fire Skill—one of the Supreme Skills.

Ricky always had a gift for learning new knowledge, and it did not take him too long to know the cultivation method of Chaotic Fire Skill by heart.

During the process of the memory storage, Ricky found out that if he wanted to put the cultivation method into practice, he had to look for more kinds of peculiar and sacred fire. The core power of Chaotic Fire Skill depended on its cultivator's manipulation of these fires. There were thousands of patterns that could be learnt as tactics. Once put into battle, they could inflict a great damage on the enemies.

Undeniably, when it came to weapon casting, Chaotic Fire Skill was much more useful than Devouring Skill!

"Looks like I still have to look for more peculiar fires and sacred fires in order to finally bring forth the Chaotic Fire Skill," Ricky whispered determinedly, despite his initial unwillingness to go through the trouble of finding them.

The Flame Zone continued to guide Ricky to move forward and enter the cave's entrance.

Despite the barrier, the protective shield assisted Ricky in overcoming any obstacles in his path.

Inside the cave, Ricky's first impression was its spaciousness. He felt as if he had arrived in another new world!

However, apart from the spacious cavern, nothing else remarkable could be found. There were only red-hot, wet surroundings everywhere.

If it weren't for the protection shield around his skin formed by the flame from the Flame Zone, Ricky would find it impossible to stay here even for one second!

The moment Ricky's feet stepped on the floor, a strong smell of blood assaulted his nose at once. If this had happened before, Ricky would definitely have vomited with disgust. But now, his sense of disgust was overcome by another feeling. Beyond the bloody smell, there was a stench of death in the air. Without the flame light, Ricky anticipated that he would be burnt into ash once he was exposed into such a horrible environment. With such a useful shield, Ricky could not only move forward safely, but also breath normally like he was above on the ground.

"Such a strong smell of blood and death! What exactly had happened here in this cave before I came in!?" he wondered, bewildered. The more closely he gauged and thought of the cave, the more curious and terrified he grew in his mind.
