The leader of the men in black looked at Bai Yan's departing figure, his face filled with reluctance as he said, "Guard! He is able to move unhindered in the Fiery Flame Domain with the cultivation of a legendary realm; he must possess a unique treasure. I refuse to believe he can rely on Yi Bao to hide in the Fiery Flame Star Domain for an entire lifetime!"

After saying this, the leader of the men in black took his followers and retreated from the Fiery Flame Star Domain, lying in wait on a nearby desolate planet for Bai Yan to emerge.

At this moment, all the men in black were frustrated, having been so close to killing Bai Yan, yet all they could do was watch as he slipped away from their grasp.

But there was nothing they could do about it.

Even if they were given a hundred times the courage, they would not dare to enter the Fiery Flame Star Domain to capture someone.

...

Because Bai Yan was worried that the Supreme Being might pursue him, he flew at full speed along the way, without making any stops.

Not until he saw that all the surrounding planets were covered with scorching lava did he realize that the comfortable sensation had disappeared. In its place was a feeling as if his entire body were being roasted over flames.

His skin began to crack, his blood turned thick, and even his clothes and hair, or any ornaments forged from refined metal, were all burnt to ashes by the intense heat; in fact, not even ashes remained.

"It's time to leave. If I go any deeper, I'm afraid I'll be roasted into a mummy."

"No, that's not right. Why do I feel quite a bit cooler?"

Just when Bai Yan thought he could no longer endure the scorching heat and considered looking for another way out,

He felt the blistering sensation recede quite a bit, even feeling somewhat cool.

In this place where even the air was burnt clean, where even the wind was hot, where did this cool feeling come from?

As the heat dissipated, Bai Yan temporarily dismissed the idea of leaving and began to slowly contemplate.

Bai Yan suddenly discovered that the temperature around him had not decreased in the slightest. The reason he felt cool was that his body was slowly adapting to the high temperatures of the Fiery Flame Star Domain.

It was like suddenly plunging one's hand into a basin of hot water in the winter - the first reaction is a scalding heat, but after gradual adaptation, it becomes comfortably warm.

"No, it's not just simply adapting to the temperature."

While Bai Yan was contemplating the changes in his body, he also gained another insight: his body was undergoing continuous refinement.

When he had fully adapted to the current high temperature, he was as if he had been refined through the sea of fire, like fine steel, with all the impurities within completely purged.

Although there was no increase in Bai Yan's cultivation, his strength had greatly increased indeed.

The most apparent change was the addition of a brilliant red to the golden Divine Radiance. Once Bai Yan released the Divine Radiance, his body would be like a fire, with a scorching temperature and dazzling color.

With these gains, Bai Yan became even more curious about this forbidden zone of life.

He decided to continue flying towards the central area of the Fiery Flame Star Domain.

Along the way, the world composed of flames made Bai Yan feel utterly tedious.

Furthermore, with every distance he covered, the temperature of the sea of fire would rise sharply, forcing Bai Yan to stop and adapt to the intense heat.

With these intermittent pauses, Bai Yan forgot about the existence of time, and the environment around him gradually changed.

The most obvious change was that the surrounding planets went from being covered by lava to being covered by red soil. On the soil, sporadically grew plants with flames burning on their surfaces, and various fire creatures roamed the land.

Originally, Bai Yan wanted to capture one, but when he saw that the ground was scorched into a black pit wherever these fire creatures passed, he abandoned that idea.

Even the land that has been forged in the sea of fire for ten thousand years couldn't withstand the temperature of these flaming creatures, not to mention Bai Yan himself.

It is estimated that these flame beings could easily extend a hoof and cool Bai Yan to the core...

Day by day.

In this seemingly No Competition with the world sea of fire, Bai Yan again endures ten tedious days and nights of flight.

The omnipresent scorching heat provoked Bai Yan to the brink of rage.

Just as Bai Yan was about to lose control, he faced an extraordinary planet head-on.

Looking over, a majestic palace stood tall on the planet, unaffected by the constant assault of the sea of fire, standing firm and immovable.

The presence of structures suggests the existence of the Cosmic Thousands of Clans here, or that the Fiery Flame Star Domain once had the presence of the Cosmic Thousands of Clans.

"The Fiery Flame Star Domain turns out to have a hidden Grotto Heaven, not quite the forbidden zone of life as described by the Cosmic Thousands of Clans."

Bai Yan murmured softly.

With an excited heart, Bai Yan stepped through the Void, crossing dozens of miles in one step, and in no time, he stood before the palace.

What captivated Bai Yan the most was the nine sky-piercing stone pillars erected in front of the palace.

Each stone pillar was engraved with a giant dragon soaring into the sky, and when Bai Yan saw those dragons, his pupils instantly shrank to their limits!

Because on these pillars, he saw extremely familiar patterns, which matched exactly those on the doors of planes.

And they were identical to the nine pillars of the Abyss Altar!

"These patterns were left by my previous life! This place is related to my previous life!"

Bai Yan suddenly realized why there were traces of the Cosmic Thousands of Clans' presence in this life-forbidden zone – only his first life had the strength to be here.

Perhaps this palace was also left by his first life!

With curiosity in his heart, Bai Yan took big steps and entered the palace.

The temperature inside the palace greatly differed from the outside temperature of the Fiery Flame Star Domain. Suddenly escaping from the scorching heat, Bai Yan even shuddered uncomfortably from the abrupt change.

The palace was empty, with only a round jade table standing in the center, upon which two items were placed.

One was a ball of ethereal flame.

"This flame contains the inheritance of my previous life!"

After sensing the aura of the inheritance, Bai Yan confirmed that there was no danger and slowly approached the jade table.

At the same time, he also noticed the other item – it was an egg!

An egg enveloped in flames, its surface adorned with a gilt-like strange pattern.

Ignoring the origin of the egg, Bai Yan first reached out to grab the inheritance of his previous life.

Now stuck at the legendary peak, fusing with this inheritance from his previous life would allow him to borrow this opportunity to achieve Saintly breakthrough and ascend to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

However, just as Bai Yan was about to pick up the inheritance, he felt as if it was enshrouded in a Divine Radiance, which made it immovable despite his utmost effort.

And the owner of this Divine Radiance was none other than that egg!
