In the bright cave, the crimson flames flickered violently. As the fire danced, the space around it began to visibly distort. 

In contrast, from Mo Yu's hand, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder crackled, releasing electric serpents that slithered out with a destructive aura, causing the very air to tremble. 

As the inner flames of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame began to grow more aggressive, She Lao was the first to sense it. His powerful soul force expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire cave, isolating the intense heat from spreading any further. 

In midair, the crimson flames expanded rapidly, growing nearly a hundred times in size. With it, the overwhelming presence of the Ten Thousand Beasts surged forth. 

However, when facing the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, the oppressive aura of the beast fire began to waver. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu felt a little more confident. 

The Vermilion Bird was one of the four divine beasts of his former world, standing alongside the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Xuanwu. Its bloodline was on par with the three great magical beast clans of the Dou Qi Continent. 

Although the Ten Thousand Beast Flame ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, its power primarily came from the accumulation of many beast bloodlines and souls. Yet, the beasts it absorbed were likely no stronger than the Dou Zong level. 

With this realization, Mo Yu felt more assured in his plan to have his thunder devour the flame. 

But, as the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had not yet reached its peak, Mo Yu's face grew more serious as he prepared for the upcoming process. 

His gaze fixed on the massive crimson flame. Taking a deep breath of the scorching air, he stretched out his hand toward the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and unleashed a powerful suction force. 

Normally, this force could easily draw a large boulder, yet when applied to the Heavenly Flame, it only managed to move it slowly. 

The short distance between them cost Mo Yu almost a fifth of his Dou Qi. The sheer amount of energy consumed was staggering. 

As the flame drew closer, the terrifying heat and the oppressive beastly aura intensified, even shocking She Lao. 

The Ten Thousand Beast Flame wasn't just any ordinary fire. Even a Dou Zun would need to approach it with caution. 

When the enormous crimson flame floated a meter before Mo Yu, its heat cracked the stone walls of the cave, despite She Lao's protective soul force. 

Sweat beaded on Mo Yu's forehead as he faced the immense fire. Even She Lao's form began to ripple, as if distorted by the heat. 

Sensing the change in his form, She Lao quickly performed a set of hand seals, and with a low chant, a purple-gold light surged forth from his body, stabilizing him once more. 

With his bloodline power activated, She Lao regained his composure. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the fierce crimson flames. 

"In the center of every Heavenly Flame is a Flame Seed, the core of its power. You must extract it!" She Lao's voice was grave. 

Hearing this, Mo Yu's brow furrowed. Sticking his hand into the flames was practically suicidal. 

But as the master of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, Mo Yu understood the importance of controlling the Flame Seed, much like mastering the core of his own thunder. Only by grasping it could he fully devour the flame. 

After a moment, Mo Yu calmed his mind. He had already paid a steep price for this opportunity, and if not for the intervention of Heavenly Serpent Mansion, he might have perished under the hands of Elder Lion or the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King. 

Now, at the critical moment, there was no turning back. 

His dark eyes reflected the crimson flames, casting a determined and solemn expression on his face. 

In the next instant, Mo Yu thrust his arm into the heart of the flame. 

As his hand entered the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder let out a sharp cry, its electric currents surging forth like serpents, wrapping around Mo Yu's arm to form a protective barrier. 

With the thunder's protection, Mo Yu managed to resist the extreme heat of the Heavenly Flame, saving his arm from being incinerated. 

As his arm delved deeper into the flame, the protective barrier began to melt at an alarming rate. One by one, the electric serpents were consumed by the fire, disappearing into nothingness. 

Yet, as fast as the serpents dissolved, the Vermilion Thunder continued to produce more, repairing the protective shield. 

In this ongoing cycle of destruction and regeneration, Mo Yu's arm finally reached deep into the core of the fire. 

At such close proximity, the heat became unbearable, and Mo Yu felt as if his entire body would melt. 

Seeing this, Mo Yu directed the Vermilion Thunder to form another protective barrier around his body, providing some relief from the searing heat. 

His eyes locked onto the churning crimson fire as his hand frantically searched within. 

Without the Vermilion Thunder's protection, this reckless act would have surely led to death. In the original story, Xiao Yan had used the Blood Lotus Pill to protect himself in a similar situation, covering his body with a blood-colored layer capable of withstanding such extreme temperatures. 

While Mo Yu wished he had both the Vermilion Thunder and the Blood Lotus Pill, he didn't have access to such a rare five-tier pill at this moment. 

With sweat pouring down his forehead, Mo Yu's hand continued to move through the fire, while the heat evaporated the sweat before it could even hit the ground. 

His focus remained unbroken as his hand ventured deeper into the raging fire. 

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame seemed to sense Mo Yu's actions. The flame violently surged, its power growing even more chaotic. 

The surrounding space began to stir, as if imbued with the roaring energy of countless beasts. The sight was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. 

With the sudden surge of the flame's power, the temperature within the cave soared once more. 

Cracks began to form in the stone walls, spreading rapidly. In mere moments, the entire cave looked as if it had been ravaged by the heat, on the verge of collapse. 

Had it not been for She Lao's support, the cave would have crumbled already. 

"No wonder the Heavenly Flame is so feared. Even this relatively low-ranking Ten Thousand Beast Flame has such power. Xiao Yan's rise to the Flame Emperor title by devouring so many Heavenly Flames now seems well-deserved." 

Mo Yu glanced around the cave, which had drastically transformed in just a few moments, and a flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes. He murmured to himself before shifting his gaze to She Lao. 

At this moment, She Lao's face was stern as he fixed his eyes on the movements of the crimson flames. Noticing Mo Yu's gaze, the sinister yet charming face softened slightly, and he nodded, giving Mo Yu a reassuring smile. 

Mo Yu smiled back at him, but suddenly, his brows twitched as something crossed his mind. He quickly turned back and focused intently on the scarlet flames. 

His arm, protected by a thunder shield, reached into the crimson fire, grasping wildly for a moment. Suddenly, his arm stilled, and a smirk slowly crept across Mo Yu's lips. 

She Lao, watching from the side, raised an eyebrow in surprise. 

Back when he had searched for this Flame Seed, it had taken him immense effort. Yet this boy had found it within mere moments—quite the stroke of luck. 

Clenching tightly onto something that felt almost solid, Mo Yu gritted his teeth, enduring the searing pain that surged through his hand as he slowly withdrew his arm from the crimson flames. 

As his arm emerged, a wisp of red, liquid-like substance that resembled the brain fluid of a magical beast wriggled in Mo Yu's palm. 

"This is the seed of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame?" Mo Yu whispered as he stared at the terrifyingly hot red flame in his hand, blinking in disbelief. 

With the Flame Seed drawn out, the massive scarlet flame in front of him rapidly began to shrink. 

Moments later, it condensed into a tiny wisp of scarlet flame that burrowed into the red Flame Seed in Mo Yu's palm. 

"This is the original Flame Seed of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Don't be fooled by its size. When it first formed, it was as large as half a mountain. However, after millennia of refinement, it has been compressed to this small size. Only when it reaches the size of a palm can it form a fire spirit. It is at this point that it can truly be considered a Heavenly Flame..." She Lao explained, his tongue flicking out to lick his lips as he stared at the wriggling red Flame Seed in Mo Yu's palm. 

Mo Yu nodded in understanding. Though this was the first Heavenly Flame he had ever encountered, he had an extensive knowledge of such flames. 

"What's your next move? Are you planning to have your Thunder Soul devour the Heavenly Flame directly?" She Lao's eyes glinted with curiosity as he looked at Mo Yu. 

"The next move?" Mo Yu frowned, glancing between the red Flame Seed in his left hand and the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder in his right. He murmured, "Swallow it!" 

His expression grew firm as he made his decision. To directly have the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame would be an immense risk. As two of the most volatile elements in existence, thunder and fire were naturally incompatible. If he recklessly allowed the Thunder Soul to devour the Heavenly Flame, success would be a fortunate outcome. But if he failed, it would all go up in smoke—literally. His life would be in peril. 

In such a scenario, not only would both the Heavenly Flame and the Thunder Soul dissipate, but the explosion resulting from their destruction could potentially level the entire mountain range, leaving Mo Yu with no chance of survival. 

Mo Yu had no intention of leaving his fate to chance. Instead, he decided to personally intervene. 

As the master of the Thunder Soul, the thunder was essentially a part of him. Therefore, Mo Yu chose to first devour the Heavenly Flame himself, becoming its master. Afterward, he would control the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. 

By that point, the process would no longer be a devouring but rather a fusion. The Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder was undoubtedly superior to the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. Even after the fusion, the resulting entity would still be thunder-based, with the Heavenly Flame serving merely as nourishment. 

Once the fusion succeeded, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder would undoubtedly return to its peak state! 

Upon hearing Mo Yu's plan, She Lao clearly understood the youth's thought process. The purple-golden light surrounding his body trembled slightly, and a hint of unease flashed across his otherwise sinister and charming face. 

Devouring a Flame Seed was a perilous task. Even as a peak Dou Huang back in the day, She Lao had barely survived the ordeal. 

No matter how tough the human body might be, the internal organs were always vulnerable. Inside the body, even a small foreign object could cause unbearable suffering to a strong fighter, let alone a Heavenly Flame capable of destruction. 

She Lao's astonishment was palpable. Yet, after the shock, he couldn't help but admire Mo Yu's courage. 

Mo Yu's approach to handling the risk was indeed clever. However, it was contingent on his ability to actually devour the Flame Seed. Otherwise, it would only bring a quicker death! 

Mo Yu was well aware of this and a trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes. 

The atmosphere in the cave grew increasingly tense. The stifling air lingered, flowing out slowly through the cracks in the walls. 

Watching the hesitation in Mo Yu's expression, She Lao let out a soft sigh. His face didn't show any disappointment. Having experienced the devouring of a Heavenly Flame himself, he understood all too well how one's heart could waver in such a crucial moment. 

Several minutes later, Mo Yu exhaled softly, a wry smile tugging at his lips. 

"I've seen enough storms in my past life, yet here I am hesitating like this. It seems that after a few years of peace, my courage has shrunk quite a bit." 

With a playful grin, he raised the Flame Seed in his hand toward She Lao and said, "She Lao, let's begin!" 

Seeing Mo Yu's light-hearted demeanor, a glint of surprise flashed in She Lao's eyes. He nodded slightly, a strange smile crossing his sinister face. "You really are a unique human boy. My hopes lie with you. You must succeed…"
