Chapter 1239: 1239
The lava giant took a huge step forward and clapped its hands in Yin Tianjiao direction . Yin Tianjiao was unfazed and charged at the hand . Her body dazzled with glittering light, power bursting from her body . She threw forward her hand . Though slender, it still contained the might of the great path . Rumbling noises were heard and the world around her resonated with her being . She thrust and an enormous, fiery handprint appeared .

Boom! A loud rumble was heard and the lava giant’s hand cracked, but quickly mended . The fires melted her great handprint . She frowned slightly at fire spirit’s insane healing powers .
Sword wills howled around Ye Futian . Swords of Kasyapa zipped past and arrived right before the lava giant, which roared as the swords came near . They were engulfed in the fires right away and melted into nothingness . Level superiority was at play in this fight .
Yin Tianjiao’s aura became even stronger at that moment . A tall, imposing figure like an empress seemed to have appeared behind her . A towering aura swept all around her body as her might burst in a frenzy . The will of the great path circled about her . Thousands of wills of the great path coursed and the area surrounding her seemed to have become a world of destruction .
Many wills of the great path of flames all gushed into her body at that moment, and it felt as if her body was burning . The will of the great path around her was furiously absorbed into her body . Ye Futian took a look at her and conjured the Halberd of Time and Space into his hand .
Ye Futian burst into the air with a flash, disappearing right away and appearing right before the lava giant, bringing down the weapon like a bolt of lightning .
The lava giant blocked with its hand, clashing with the Halberd of Time and Space . Rumbling noises were heard as the hand crumbled, inch by inch . The fires exploded at the weapon and Ye Futian himself . Still, the giant absorbed the power of lava without pause to reconstruct its broken arm .
Yin Tianjiao stepped out and attacked as well . Her great handprint resonated with the great path around her as she brought her attack down on the fire spirit . The lava giant attempted a block, which caused its arm to quickly crumble inch by inch . Both Ye Futian and Yin Tianjiao continued to press on their attacks until they pierced the lava giant’s body . Yin Tianjiao’s rules within her handprint cracked open the fire spirit .
A sliver of lavcolored will of the great path intended to flee, but Yin Tianjiao grabbed and pinned it down . Towering fires burst, intending to consume Yin Tianjiao . As holy light dazzled, her body almost burned, devouring the fire bit by bit .

“You could have the next one,” Yin Tianjiao said to Ye Futian, who nodded without saying anything .
The mighty one of the Zhu clan added, “Why not internalize the will of the great path inside you to a certain level of strength first?”
“Doesn’t matter,” Yin Tianjiao replied plainly .
Ye Futian took a look at the mighty one . Since entering the ruins, the Zhu mighty one spoke his mind without reservation .
The ruins had boundless wills all around . The numbers were astronomical . To people who trained in fire-based powers, the ruins were like a holy land all its own . The reason why the nine tribes supported their candidates was to allow them to internalize their will of the great path and increasing their strength . But what was their ultimate goal?
Ye Futian and Yin Tianjiao continued moving forward without thought . The lava area was incredibly vast and looked endless as well . Both of them plundered as much as they were able to, having no idea how many fire spirits they had destroyed and stripped of their will . They weren’t the only ones . Mighty ones from the other seven tribes did the same in other areas, too .
A short time later, they entered a territory filled with demonic fire beasts . A city seemed to have appeared right before them—a City of Fire . They stopped and stared at it . The city had many steps leading to the top, and the entire place looked like it was basking in fire . The phenomenon made it seem like a City of the Sun .
“It is best to internalize the will of the great path of flames within your bodies . You might run into greater challenges ahead,” a mighty one from the Zhu clan said .

Yin Tianjiao and Ye Futian nodded, then found a spot to sit cross-legged . Ye Futian closed his eyes and dazzling light appeared around his body . Swishing sounds were heard in his Life Palace . At that moment, his Life Palace turned into a world of flames . Flames of the Way circled about endlessly .
Ye Futian knew that those powers were not his . They were simply things taken by force . Even if he were to be able to internalize and use them for battle, they could be destroyed . That would be the end of it . Essentially, he was only using external powers instead of relying on his own skills . It was something he would not have done in his usual training . Those flames could only be used as trump cards, akin to convenient devices .
That was unless his plane could reach the required level . Then he could truly make those flames his own . If at Proving Saint level, he could really enhance his own powers . Of course, there would have been no way for him to finish internalizing those flames in such a short period of time . The greater the flames’ intensity, the harder it would have been for him to make them his own .
There seemed to be another silhouette of his in his Life Palace, who sat cross-legged and holy light burst from it . The Deed of Thorough Comprehension flowed about in a frenzy within him . His body was now like a furnace, melting and internalizing the wills of the great path .
The World Tree swished about . Powers of all elements been turned into auras of flames, enveloping his body . Auras of the world around him flowed into his body, entering his Life Palace through his veins . The first of his flames were completed a while later . Flames of increasingly greater numbers melted to become one with him . Fiery auras of the boundless great path flowed into his Life Palace .
Not far away from where Ye Futian was, Yin Tianjiao was also training with her eyes closed . They sat that way for a long time . When they completed their training, they opened their eyes . Together, they began ascending steps before them, moving towards the City of the Sun .
With every step they took, the heat of the staircase grew increasingly intense . Like they were walking on the flames of the great path .
The sun hung high above with countless Golden Ravens circling around it . The birds dove towards them with great force, as if they viewed the group as intruders . Everyone feared they were on the verge of destruction .

Ye Futian sensed the birds’ auras and found many of them to be at Saint of True Self levels . Fiery auras of the great path flowed around the sun, coalescing into dazzling beams of light . The beams shot forth like divine fire . The Golden Raves were engulfed by them, and they exploded into flaming auras of the great path .
What transpired had caught the attention of the mighty ones from both the Zhu and Wu clans . Ye Futian’s fire ability did not seem weak at all . His own powers combined with what had been absorbed were like rays of the sun, capable of melting anything . It even seemed to contain will of the sword, which gave the beams devastating shredding power .
He conjured the Halberd of Time and Space, grabbing the will of the great path . He charged at the flock of Golden Ravens that blocked out the sky . Yin Tianjiao’s attacks were just as powerful . Her entire body was bathed in the dazzling, holy light of flames . It was apparent that, like Ye Futian, she had also internalized the flames . She melded them with her own attacks and crushed everything before her .
Humanoid spirits appeared amidst the great number of Golden Ravens . A silhouette dove straight for Ye Futian . Its eyes emanated an extremely terrifying demonic aura .
Ye Futian sensed the aura as the fire of the sun rained down, intending to penetrate the creature’s body . However, it suddenly became a sea of flames, engulfing the area Ye Futian was in . A terrifying head appeared, intending to devour him .
The grey-robed mighty one of the Wu clan came behind him . “Be careful, that thing is out to take your spirit!”
The people of the nine tribes would not have let anything happen to their candidates, not before they reached their destination . The journey was meant to strengthen their powers and familiarize them with the way of the flames of the nine tribes’ ancestral land .
The mighty one lashed out with his hand and dazzling, golden flames fired at the being coming at Ye Futian . It let loose a harrowing roar as it was turned into will of the great path .
“Thank you, senior,” Ye Futian said before continuing on .
The rest of the mighty ones arrived soon as well, moving up the steps towards the Sun Castle .
Upright figures stood guard at the gates of the city . They cast their glances forward and a frightening and immensely profound aura swept over the field, turning into terrifying storms that resonated with the sun in the sky .
“It has been years since you last came . Is there one worthy of entering this time?”
The nine tribes had been trying for many years . They had toiled for ages, bud had never succeeded . As such, they were forced to begin borrowing external powers . The intent was to unravel the secrets of their ancestral land through the hands of ingenuous outsiders . Even so, not one in all those generations had succeeded . The guards wondered how these new chosen ones would fare . They hoped that the clans would not let them down again .
