Shortly after Vaan reached a 5% comprehension of the Fire Law, he felt like he had struck a bottleneck.
Even if he could continue to increase his comprehension, he wouldn’t be able to draw more power from the Fire Law in his current state.
In other words, 5% law was the power limit for Peak Demigods.
As such, he decided to end his law-perceiving session and test the power of his current Fire Authority.
The moment Vaan opened his eyes, they flickered with a fiery glow.
In that instant, a large wave of golden flames burst into being, completely replacing Flamewing’s golden flames in the area.
However, Vaan’s flames only retained their golden color for a brief moment before turning azure blue.
Ding!
<You have comprehended Golden Flames>
<You have comprehended Azure Flames>
…
Meanwhile, Flamewing had observed Vaan for three whole days.
Although he still didn’t believe Vaan could learn much by perceiving his golden flames, he had to give Vaan credit for being persistent and diligent.
When Vaan’s golden flames erupted with power not inferior to his own, Flamewing’s eyes widened in shock.
Then shortly after Vaan’s golden flames turned azure blue, Flamewing became even more shocked that he stumbled to get up for a better look and almost fell off the top of the black pyramid.
[What the fuck!]
Flamewing cussed.
Three days!
It took three days for Vaan to comprehend the secrets of his golden flames and also came up with his own interpretation of the Fire Law!
Not even the most monstrous genius of Chaos could have achieved that feat in such little time—at least during Flamewing’s time in Chaos; he had not heard such things were possible.
[Perhaps, this is the real reason everyone wants to leave Chaos when a new Chaosverse enters its destruction cycle and begins to merge with Chaos… It’s a place that gives birth to true monsters.]
Flamewing guessed, feeling helpless and envious.
What took others centuries to achieve only took Vaan days to do the same.
Flamewing did not know if there was any Soul Master in Chaos who could even compare to Vaan in sheer talent.
Soul Masters were impressive in their own way, but not like this.
Flamewing did not know that Vaan’s ungodly learning speed had nothing to do with Soul Masters. Instead, it was all credited to his Heaven-Swallowing Physique—or, more precisely, his heaven-rank ability, Wisdom from the Void.
…
Meanwhile, Vaan quickly adapted to his Fire Authority and began to control his blue flames skillfully, forming various animals and weapons with just his mind.
Using the power of the Fire Law was as easy as breathing.
Vaan only needed to maintain three aspects to control the power of the Fire Law: visualization, concentration, and intent.
It just so happens that he excelled in these aspects.
‘With this, my soul combat prowess, being at the Peak-level Demigod rank, has far outstripped my physical combat prowess. Truly worthy of being the Fire Dragon God’s inheritance,’ Vaan thought.
He wondered if he should go on a hunt for more divine-level inheritances.
That said, how could such opportunities be so easy to come by?
These divine-level inheritances weren’t just cabbages lying on the road for him to pick up. He was unlikely to find another inheritance of such level in their world.
He could only take his chances in Chaos.
After Vaan finished testing his Fire Authority, Flamewing immediately took the chance to speak with him.
[You never cease to amaze me, Vahn. Always exceeding my expectations. Now that you have the power to defend yourself, I guess you will be leaving the Red Dragon Clan and returning to human society?]
Flamewing guessed.
“Soon, but not quite yet,” Vaan replied after shaking his head. “I still have a bit more training to do and a few things to settle in the Red Dragon Clan.”
Vaan was aware of his strength and weakness.
Although he could use Peak Demigod-rank fire attacks by commanding the Fire Law, it won’t be as effective against a strong opponent with high fire affinity or well-equipped with fire-resisting magic tools.
As such, he was prepared to use the Red Dragon Clan’s large reserve of mana stones to raise his Aura Cultivation.
Once his Aura Cultivation was raised to an adequate level, it would make up for his lacking speed and allow him to become more rounded.
[I see. Well, then. Go and do what you need to do.]
Flamewing didn’t waste any more of Vaan’s time and sent him out of the Trial by Fire without waiting for him to make the request.
After returning to the surface, Vaan shook his head. The Quasi-Divine Fire Spirit could have at least waited for him to put on some clothes.
He wasn’t embarrassed to be seen butt-naked, but he wasn’t exactly an exhibitionist either.
Vaan took out a fresh set of clothes from his Heaven-Swallowing Space and wore them. Afterward, he borrowed the power of fire to fly back to Ninth Peak.
Along the way, every dragon he encountered made gestures of respect and worship as they acknowledged his presence and authority.
They did not dare to neglect the new sky.
Nevertheless, upon reaching Ninth Peak, Vaan noticed an unfamiliar dragon flying towards him from Eighth Peak’s direction.
It did not show any sign of respect like the other dragons, nor did it seem to be slowing down, almost as if it intended to crash into him.
Vaan furrowed his brows as he observed the incoming dragon while standing firm on the spot. He did not intend to move.
Right at the last moment, the dragon swerved to the left and crashlanded into the ground beside him with a boom, kicking a cloud of dust and soil.
A woman’s coughing was heard shortly within the cloud of dust and soil before it eventually dispersed, revealing Eniwse’s figure in place of the dragon.
Without a doubt, the dragon earlier was Eniwse after using Dragonification.
That said, her Dragonification appeared much more complete, as she did not look much different from any other red dragon in the Red Dragon Clan.
It no longer resembled her wyvern-type abomination state.
“It seems your Dragonification is almost perfected. Though, you still need to work on your control by the looks of it, Eniwse,” Vaan commented with a smile while extending a hand to help her up.
“Haha… That much is obvious, huh?” Eniwse chuckled with some embarrassment as she accepted Vaan’s support.
