Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 523
“Fire Fire?”
Kurumi looked confused. What was that supposed to be? Feeling the agitation of the sub-flame within her, Kurumi quickly pushed Xun’er away.
Xun’er was still trembling, seemingly quite frightened by the sub-flame.
“Xun’er, bring out the sub-flame. Let big sister teach it a lesson for you!”
“Re… really? It’s inside me, and I’m so scared!”
Kurumi gently patted the girl’s hair. “Don’t worry, Xun’er. Focus your mind and imagine bringing that nasty flame out.”
Xun’er stopped crying, nodded her little head, and said, “I’ll do what sister says.”
With a small, white hand extended, Xun’er concentrated, and a tiny flame appeared in her palm.
“Sister, quick! The bad flame is out! Help me punish it!”
“Relax~” Kurumi’s words seemed to have a magical effect, calming Xun’er down as she watched her sister with wide eyes.
“Boom~”
A golden flame ignited in Kurumi’s palm, much larger than Xun’er’s small flame!
As Kurumi’s bloodline power surged, the flame mark on Xun’er’s arm began to fade. The small flame left Xun’er’s palm and floated toward Kurumi’s hand.
The golden flame merged with Kurumi’s, flaring up even higher! The flame mark on Kurumi’s arm combined, revealing a powerful presence!
The golden flame, distorting space, was reflected in Kurumi’s eyes. This was the true sub-flame!
Standing before Kurumi, Xun’er clasped her small fists together, her eyes sparkling with admiration and joy at seeing her sister’s accomplishment.
“Sister, sister, you’re amazing!”
Kurumi shifted her gaze from the sub-flame. “Would you like a toy like this too?”
The sub-flame moved from Kurumi’s right hand to her left, transforming into a golden dragon and wrapping around her, creating a dazzling display!
Xun’er nodded, then quickly shook her head. Seeing Kurumi frown, Xun’er whispered, “The flame bullies me. It… it burned a small part of the pretty dress sister gave me.”
Xun’er looked down, her enthusiasm dampened, muttering, “I love that dress the most, but it got burned by the flame. It’s the biggest bully ever!”
Kurumi glanced and saw a small scorched mark on the left side of Xun’er’s skirt.
Silently, Kurumi thought, ‘Children’s minds really can’t be understood with common sense. A normal person would be ecstatic to control such a powerful flame, even if all their clothes were burned.’
In the Dou Qi Continent, what’s more important than strength?
Kurumi sighed, realizing that the sub-flame was no longer agitated. She guessed that the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame had split into four sub-flames, all now in her possession. Should she aimlessly search for the main flame next?
“Hey, little Xun’er~”
“Sister…” The girl spoke weakly.
“When we get out, sister will get you another cute dress, okay?”
Xun’er pouted, “Okay, but I like this one the most~”
Kurumi shrugged. “When we get out, I’ll ask Father to fix it for you.”
“Really?”
“Would sister lie to you?”
Xun’er shook her head vigorously, like a bobblehead.
“Now, do you want this flame?”
Kurumi’s eyes narrowed, her burgundy irises shining with laughter, making her look even more charming despite her young age!
She extended her hand, and the golden flame bloomed like a flower in her palm, layer upon layer, continuously unfolding!
With sparkling star-like light, Xun’er looked on with envy!
But the girl was still hesitant. “If I take the flame, won’t sister be left without one?”
Kurumi blinked at her, then split the flame into two, smiling. “How about now?”
“Yes, yes! I want a flame-like sister!”
Kurumi brought her hands together, and the flames coiled around her jade-like fingers, disappearing after distorting the space.
‘Finally got this little one settled!’
Kurumi almost wanted to shout. Giving away a heavenly flame, and no one wanted it! She closed her eyes, feeling the power that could burn space!
The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame was in the center of the flame space, not too far away. To share the flame’s origin with Xun’er, Kurumi had to calm Xun’er and ensure she had no resistance.
Otherwise, who knows what might happen!
Holding Xun’er’s small hand, the two girls ran through the flame space. With the sub-flame protecting them, Kurumi didn’t notice the rising temperature at all!
At the center of the space was a sea of golden flames! Kurumi wrapped them both tightly in the sub-flame. Upon entering, she felt as if she was back in a spatial storm!
Here, the concept of ‘space’ existed, but it was constantly distorting! Even a Dou Zun proficient in space would lose their way in an instant!
Following the sub-frame’s guidance, Kurumi arrived at the location of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame!
The golden flame burned quietly in mid-air, burning space into nothingness, immovable and noble.
Nothing seemed able to shake this flame. Each change in its position easily tore away space fragments.
Those space fragments, usually unstoppable, were drawn into the flame and burned to nothing before completing a single rotation!
The sub-flame wrapped around Kurumi and Xun’er, becoming more excited at the sight of the main flame, its fire rising and swaying continuously.
Gathering her bloodline power, Kurumi was extremely cautious, holding onto Xun’er tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
Seeing the legendary flame in person, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List, was a testament to its terrifying power!
In the original story, even Xun’er, upon reaching the Dou Saint level, couldn’t fully utilize the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame’s power!
It was born from space itself, a flame that devoured space!
Giving it to a Dou Qi Continent expert was a waste!
They only knew the most superficial space knowledge! Kurumi’s eyes gleamed with excitement. If she had the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame during a spatial storm, it would be a breeze!
Once she left this plane, if the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame complemented her spatial knowledge, it could easily tear apart small world barriers!
Sticking out her pink tongue, she licked her dry lips. After a few more transfers of original power, she had a high chance of cultivating the Divine Flame again!
Combining the growth potential of the Divine Flame with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame…
Kurumi gathered all her bloodline power, her entire arm shining like golden jade! Veins of fresh blood coursed through it.
Her arm pierced through the sub-flame barrier, reaching for the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame. The terrifying flame, previously still, erupted with an overwhelming fiery wave!
In the golden sea of flames, there was an indescribable longing.
