Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 189 Karmic Fire

Then Nuwa and the others stood in the room, releasing their divine souls. Although there was no danger in the Taihao Realm and no one came here, Pingxin and the others still looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, ready for battle!

Taihao ignored Nuwa and the others; he was suffering unprecedented pain, and even with Taihao's willpower, he was barely able to hold on!

The dantian is the most important part of everyone's body, but Taihao is attacking it himself, which is extremely dangerous!

One wrong move and he could kill himself. Although Taihao was formed from the auspicious clouds of the heavens, he has now cultivated into human form and is already a human. If his dantian is shattered, even if Taihao survives, he will only be a mortal for the rest of his life and will never be able to recover!

"puff!"

As the golden needles, condensed from divine soul power, continued to thrust forward, a faint sound rang out. Just after Taihao had pierced through all the meridians, a weak fluctuation of magical power appeared in his dantian. This fluctuation of magical power was very weak, but within this weak energy was something extremely powerful!

As this energy surged forth from his dantian, it freely circulated throughout all the meridians of Taihao's body!

Each time this energy travels around the meridians, the meridians, which were originally broken, begin to slowly come together and repair themselves little by little!

After Taihao sensed the effect of this energy, he carefully felt it, and a smile appeared on his face when he did!

The power surging from his dantian was the power of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree root that was already inside him. Although only a little bit remained, this energy was enough to repair Taihao's meridians!

Once his meridians are repaired, Taihao is confident that he can quickly regain his strength!

Two years passed quickly, but for them, it was only a blink of an eye. Taihao's broken meridians had been repaired by the power of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree roots!

Moreover, his meridians were even stronger and thicker than before, which brought a smile to Taihao's face. It seems that fortune and misfortune are truly intertwined!

"Alright, come here!" Taihao said weakly to Pingxin and the others who were standing not far away. Taihao's meridians had recovered, but his body was still somewhat weak, after all, he had just endured inhuman pain.

He currently has no magical power whatsoever. If it weren't for his exceptionally strong physical body and soul, he wouldn't have been able to persevere for the past two years!

"Master, you're awake?" Nuwa was the first to come to Taihao's side, asking with concern!

"What exactly happened to me?" Taihao still doesn't know what happened to him!

"Master, you encountered an accident while fusing with the Nine Netherworld Flame, and your consciousness completely disappeared. We waited for you for a long time but you didn't come back, and our messages went unanswered, so we returned to the Taihao Realm. When we arrived, the Heavenly Dao suddenly sent us a message saying that something had happened to you, so we brought you back!"

"After we brought you back, you fell into a deep sleep, without any consciousness. If it weren't for the strong life force still emanating from you, we would have thought you were already..." Nuwa suddenly convulsed as she spoke, tears streaming down her face!

"We don't know the specifics either. You might have to ask the Heavenly Dao; it should know everything that happened back then!" Pingxin continued as Nuwa wept.

"Nuwa, it's alright, I'm fine, aren't I?" Taihao said gently, stroking Nuwa's hair affectionately.

After listening to what the others said, Taihao slowly recalled everything that had happened back then. He remembered that he had absorbed the Nine Netherworld Fire into his body. The Nine Netherworld Fire was extremely domineering, constantly destroying his meridians and internal organs, while the power of the Nine-Bend Heavenly Tree roots was constantly repairing his injuries!

But in the end, the power of the world that had been fused into Taihao's body suddenly appeared, and a powerful energy enveloped the Nine Netherworld Flames within it.

Then, the Nine Netherworld Flame enveloped the flame and headed towards the dantian. Just as the power of the world sent the Nine Netherworld Flame into the dantian, and just as Taihao was about to refine the original flame of the Nine Netherworld Flame, a flame even more powerful than the Nine Netherworld Flame suddenly appeared deep within his body!

Moreover, Taihao's consciousness began to dissipate as soon as it appeared. Taihao tried hard to regain his senses, but all his efforts were in vain under the power of the flame that had just appeared!

Finally, his consciousness simply drifted into a deep sleep. When his consciousness finally came to its senses, he was already in that dark space, and this is where he ended up!

Did Taihao not know what the flames that appeared at the end were?

Then Taihao's divine soul power surged forth, directly reaching the Heavenly Dao, and he asked bluntly, "Tell me what happened back then?"

When the Heavenly Dao saw the phantom Taihao had condensed using his divine soul power, it was astonished, as if it had witnessed something unbelievable! After observing Taihao for a while, it leisurely said, "You can actually wake up?"

Taihao was at a loss for words after hearing what the Heavenly Dao said, so he simply remained silent and waited for the Heavenly Dao to continue.

The Heavenly Dao didn't keep Taihao waiting long, and directly said, "Why didn't you tell me you had karmic fire within you? And since you already had karmic fire within you, why did you still try to fuse with the Nine Netherworld Flame?"

The Heavenly Dao asked a series of questions that left Taihao completely stunned. Taihao himself was unaware that karmic fire still existed within his body!

Furthermore, Taihao didn't even know what karmic fire was, although he knew about karma, but this was the first time he had ever heard of karmic fire!

"Tell me first what exactly is karmic fire, and what is its relationship with karma?" Although Taihao didn't know what karmic fire was, he felt from the name that it must be related to karma!

"Karmic Fire is the fourth most powerful flame on the list of god-killing flames. It is invisible, colorless, and ethereal. Legend has it that it was born in the boundless ocean of karma and possesses supreme power. Even the most powerful beings in the universe are quite wary of it!" The Heavenly Dao looked at Taihao and said solemnly.

"Are you saying that karmic fire already existed within me when I was fusing with the Nine Netherworld Flames?" Taihao was horrified after hearing the Heavenly Dao's words!

It's truly a miracle that I survived. I actually managed to survive by fusing with the twentieth flame on the list of the fourth flames that kills gods!

The flames on the God-Slaying Flame Ranking are both coveted and feared even by the strongest beings in the top worlds!

Even if you can fuse with just one, it's still a very powerful technique. But even the lowest-ranked flame is incredibly powerful!

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to fuse, only someone like Taihao, a fearless newborn calf, dared to fuse at the Great Dao realm, and even succeeded!

Although he had made a mess of things, the benefits he gained were enormous! After understanding everything, Taihao breathed a sigh of relief. Before he understood everything, Taihao's heart had been in suspense!

Although his meridians have recovered, his strength has not fully recovered. Moreover, since the Heavenly Dao said that he has successfully fused the fourth-ranked Karmic Fire and the Nine Netherworld Fire, his divine soul power cannot sense their existence. Could it be because his strength has not recovered?

After Taihao withdrew his divine soul power, he immediately announced that he would go into seclusion, allowing Pingxin and the others to cultivate on their own!

Taihao had a deep-seated feeling that it might take him a long time to recover his strength!
