Chapter 36: Inheritance and New Beginning!
"The trial of the flame of inheritance... I accept!" Isaac's words revealed a resolute determination.
[Please step into the space of the Inherited Flame, host. This will be the ultimate trial. You will face peak powerhouses from the unknown realm. This battle will determine your ruling power and lay an immortal foundation for the future of all heavens.]
As the system prompted him, a portal to a mysterious realm slowly opened before Isaac, surrounded by starlight that resembled a protective flame. Without hesitation, he stepped into the portal, and in an instant, the scene before him abruptly transformed into a wasteland ablaze with crimson flames.
This desolate wasteland stretched endlessly, filled with a scorching heat. Flames surged and rolled in the air like raging waves, seemingly intent on devouring everything in their path. Isaac stood at the heart of the flames, sensing a powerful and oppressive aura. This aura, like an ancient torrent, surged forth with unshakeable force, as if originating from a slumbering being from the distant past.
Just then, a shadowy figure slowly emerged from the flames. Clad in dark red armor, radiating an intense aura, its eyes burned like flames, radiating boundless fighting spirit and killing intent. Its appearance was like the very essence of this fiery wasteland, carrying an indescribable imposing presence.
“Isaac, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” The man’s voice was deep and hoarse, containing an inexplicable power, as if the flames of the entire wasteland were dancing with his breath.
Isaac gave the other a cold look, the Blade of Destiny trembling slightly in his hand, and said warily, "Who are you? Why are you waiting for me here?"
The man gave a cold laugh, the flames burning in his eyes growing even more intense: "I am the Lord of the Burning World, the guardian of the Flame of Inheritance. Any being that dares to attempt to control the heavens must prove its right to rule before me. Otherwise, your so-called 'path to freedom' is nothing but a delusion."
The voice of the Lord of Burning Worlds was like a cold thunderclap, booming in Isaac's ears with an irresistible sense of oppression. Isaac understood that the Lord of Burning Worlds before him was no ordinary being, but perhaps an ancient will that had existed for countless eons, possessing boundless power.
“Very well. If this is the final trial, then I will show you what true freedom is!” Isaac’s eyes blazed with unwavering fighting spirit, and the Blade of Destiny in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light.
The Lord of Burning Worlds snorted coldly, and with a powerful wave of his hands, the surrounding flames surged towards Isaac like a raging dragon. The intense flames, carrying world-destroying power, instantly engulfed Isaac's figure.
Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from the flames, forcing back the scorching fire. Isaac's figure stood proudly amidst the sea of fire, radiating an unshakeable aura.
"Lord of the Burning World, how dare you presume to decide my fate!" Isaac roared, swinging the Blade of Destiny with tremendous force. The golden blade light, like lightning, cleaved towards the Lord of the Burning World, tearing apart the surrounding flames.
The Lord of Burning Worlds swiftly raised his hand, a crimson flame igniting in his palm, transforming into a towering barrier of fire that completely blocked Isaac's attack. He coldly said, "You think you can contend with me with such meager strength? The title of Lord of the Heavens is merely an empty name; without immense power, one cannot even break free from the shackles of fate!"
The Lord of Burning Worlds clasped his hands together, and a surge of scorching flames erupted from his body, instantly transforming into a massive firestorm that swept towards Isaac. The firestorm carried an absolute sense of oppression, as if it wanted to devour the entire space.
Isaac felt a powerful force rushing towards him, but he did not flinch. The power of destiny circulated rapidly within his body, and the light of the Eye of Destiny instantly shone, locking onto the core energy fluctuations of the Lord of Burning World.
"Blade of Destiny, Defy Fate Slash!" Isaac roared, and the Blade of Destiny instantly emitted an incomparably dazzling light, its blade pointing directly at the core of the Lord of Burning World's flames, cleaving the firestorm in two!
A flicker of panic flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Burning Worlds. He retreated hastily, and with a wave of his hands, the flames beside him once again coalesced into a massive blade of fire, which slashed fiercely at Isaac with an aura of destruction.
Isaac swiftly swung the Blade of Destiny, the golden light clashing violently with the fiery blade in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. Their blows were brutal, each strike drawing blood, and the entire space trembled violently under their fierce battle, as if about to be torn apart.
The battle dragged on for a long time, and Isaac's strength was gradually waning, but his resolve grew stronger than ever. The power of the Lord of Incineration was unparalleled, but Isaac's conviction had already transcended life and death, breaking through all limits.
Just then, the system notification sounded again: [The host's conviction has reached its peak; the ultimate power of the Eye of Destiny will be activated. Please use it with caution.]
Isaac's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly made his decision. He knew that this was his only chance; only by activating the ultimate power of the Eye of Destiny could he completely defeat the Lord of the Burning World and complete the final trial.
"Eye of Destiny, final awakening!" Isaac roared, and the golden light in his eyes instantly erupted, illuminating the entire space. In his vision, he saw the primordial energy of the Lord of the Burning World, and those weaknesses hidden deep within the flames seemed to have nowhere to hide.
The Lord of Burning World's expression changed drastically, clearly realizing that Isaac's power had undergone a qualitative leap. However, he did not back down. Instead, he gathered all his power into the Flame Blade and roared, "Even as the Lord of Destiny, you cannot easily break through the Flame of Inheritance!"
Isaac smiled coldly, and the Blade of Destiny in his hand transformed into absolute power, directly severing the source of the Lord of Burning Worlds. His blade was like a divine judgment, completely tearing apart the Lord of Burning Worlds' fiery power, and finally piercing straight into his opponent's chest.
The Lord of Burning Worlds let out a bloodcurdling scream as his body gradually disintegrated within the light, ultimately turning into countless fragments of flame that scattered with the wind. A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes as he whispered, "The Flame of Freedom... indeed resides within you... You are the true Lord of the Heavens..."
After saying this, his figure vanished completely, leaving only the burning wasteland of flames, which slowly died out before Isaac.
Isaac slowly sheathed the Blade of Destiny, the power within him gradually subsiding. Yet he knew he had completed his final trial. The trial of the Flame of Inheritance had truly allowed him to reach the pinnacle of the heavens, becoming an unshakeable and absolute being.
As the Lord of the Burning World vanished, the surrounding space slowly returned to calm, and the system's voice rang out once more: [Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the final trial and gaining complete control over the heavens. The power of the Inherited Flame has been integrated into your will. From this day forward, you will become the eternal Lord of the heavens, granting them true freedom and order.]
A slight smile played on Isaac's lips, his eyes brimming with confidence. He knew he had not only gained power, but also the right to true control. From this day forward, the heavens would be transformed by him; he would lead every world and every living being toward a new future.
"A new era begins at this moment," Isaac said softly, his voice filled with unparalleled power.
