On Tai'a Solar Star.

Zero rampaged in anger, slaughtering several powerful Heavenly Monarchs before finally leaving.

What no one knew was that Zero had a deep desire for the Eternal Flame, one of the treasures he had been collecting.

He could have ascended to the True Spirit Realm long ago, becoming a True Monarch, but he had refrained from doing so—not because of any lack of foundation.

His strength was greater than many personal disciples of Dao Ancestors, and his potential was terrifying.

He had even ascended from the peak of the nine-star level, a true peerless heavenly genius.

Yet, he still harbored ambition, seeking to condense the most powerful True Spirit.

The next step would be to perfectly integrate the True Spirit with the physical body, officially stepping into the True Spirit Realm. This process consumed much time, especially for those with stronger bodies, as the stronger the Half-Step True Spirit, the longer the process took. However, the resulting True Spirit would also be much stronger.

Zero had not yet reached the Half-Step True Spirit stage, or else he would no longer be ranked among the Heavenly Monarchs.

But even without being a Half-Step True Spirit, the Half-Step True Spirits in the Grand Universe were no match for him.

In the chaos, True Spirits were divided into lower, middle, upper, heavenly, supreme, and ultimate True Spirits.

Most Heavenly Monarchs could, at best, only condense lower True Spirits. Yet, lower True Spirits shouldn't be underestimated, as 99% of Heavenly Monarchs had no hope of ever condensing one. To form a lower True Spirit was already quite impressive.

Some heavenly geniuses were able to condense upper True Spirits, and the personal disciples of Dao Ancestor-level powers had a chance of forming a heavenly True Spirit, though the probability was not high.

As for a supreme True Spirit, even personal disciples of Dao Ancestors had little hope, and many True Ancestors had not formed supreme True Spirits when they ascended.

Condensing a supreme True Spirit posed no difficulty for him. Zero's goal, however, was the ultimate True Spirit.

However, forming an ultimate True Spirit was far from simple. His chaotic body, chaotic divine power, and chaotic soul all needed to reach an extremely terrifying level.

Over the long years, he had already pushed his chaotic divine power and chaotic soul to their limits. Only his chaotic body remained lacking, which was related to a body-refining technique he cultivated—just one step away from perfection, and what he lacked was the Eternal Flame.

Once he obtained the Eternal Flame, he could perfect his chaotic body, thereby forming the ultimate True Spirit in one fell swoop and seamlessly integrate it with his body to step into the True Spirit Realm.

"Just one more step!!!" Zero was utterly furious.

Although there were other treasures that could substitute for the Eternal Flame, all were incredibly rare. He had searched throughout the chaos for eons and had yet to find one, which was why he came to the Grand Universe to try his luck.

After all, the Grand Universe would eventually evolve into a Dao Realm, where all kinds of rare treasures would be born. He believed he had a chance to condense the ultimate True Spirit here.

This time, the appearance of the Eternal Flame had excited him immensely. After all, in such a short time, the Grand Universe had produced the treasure he had been searching for, and he no longer had to wait for eons.

But he never imagined that, with his strength, he would fail to seize the Eternal Flame, losing it to an unknown Heavenly Monarch.

"Great World Shift, huh? Hmph, don't let me find out who you are, or you're dead!" Zero swore silently.

Ye Tian had offended Zero, but he remained unconcerned.

He knew he couldn't hide from Zero forever. Once he exposed his Great World Shift technique, his identity would naturally be revealed. But Zero was nothing more than an arrogant cultivator; he posed no real threat.

Ye Tian did not continue cultivating on Tai'a Solar Star. Instead, he returned to the Void Sky Hall to enter seclusion.

Additionally, he instructed Heavenly Monarch Sundragon to leave Tai'a, to avoid perishing on Tai'a Solar Star.

This time, Heavenly Monarch Sundragon had obtained the Supreme Yang Celestial Flower. As long as he entered seclusion to refine it, his lifespan would greatly increase, so there was no need to continue risking his life on Tai'a Solar Star.

Moreover, Ye Tian had already obtained the Eternal Flame and temporarily lacked resources.

In the following days, Ye Tian diligently studied and cultivated the Eternal Immortal Fire.

Once he mastered the Eternal Immortal Fire, ranked 25th among Chaos Divine Abilities, his strength would increase dramatically.

Twenty thousand years later.

From the secluded chamber came the sound of Ye Tian's laughter.

He had finally mastered the Eternal Immortal Fire.

"Eternal Immortal Fire, come forth!"

A wisp of flame appeared in front of him, radiating a faint blue glow.

It looked like an ordinary flame, seemingly devoid of any power, but Ye Tian knew all too well the terrifying nature of the Eternal Immortal Fire. The surrounding laws gradually collapsed under its scorching heat.

Moreover, the Eternal Immortal Fire could ignite anything, and was incredibly difficult to extinguish.

"The Eternal Immortal Fire is only at the entry-level stage, but it already rivals the major accomplishment realm of the Extreme Saber Divine Ability. In fact, in some respects, it's several times more terrifying than the Extreme Saber Divine Ability." Ye Tian muttered to himself.

He did not leave seclusion, instead continuing his cultivation, determined to comprehend the Eternal Immortal Fire to the minor accomplishment realm, or even the major accomplishment realm, before leaving.

This seclusion lasted for five hundred thousand years.

After five hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation, Ye Tian finally pushed the Eternal Immortal Fire to the peak of the minor accomplishment realm, just one step away from the major accomplishment realm, but he had hit a bottleneck.

There was no helping it. The Eternal Immortal Fire was too powerful, and comprehending it was extraordinarily difficult. Even with his god-level Super Enlightenment Talent and terrifying comprehension abilities, it was impossible to reach the major accomplishment realm in a short time.

For a chaotic divine ability of this level, the difficulty of reaching the major accomplishment realm was immense. It was normal for those with insufficient talent to remain stuck in the minor accomplishment realm for their entire lives.

After all, once he reached the major accomplishment realm, as long as he collected enough materials, he could forge a legacy of the Eternal Immortal Fire, allowing others to inherit this divine ability.

"Sigh.

Forget it. I'll leave seclusion for now. If I continue, I might need another million years just to push the Eternal Immortal Fire to the major accomplishment realm.

The Eternal Immortal Fire, ranked 25th on the Chaos Divine Ability List, is indeed not so easy to master. My talent is still lacking!" Ye Tian sighed.

If others heard his words, they would probably die of frustration.

If Ye Tian's talent was considered lacking, then no one in the chaos could claim to have high talent.

For chaotic divine abilities like the Eternal Immortal Fire, even if others met all the necessary conditions, reaching the minor accomplishment realm would take them billions, perhaps tens or hundreds of billions of years.

The fact that Ye Tian had managed to cultivate it to the peak of the minor accomplishment realm in just five hundred thousand years was already incredibly exaggerated.

After leaving seclusion, Ye Tian checked his ranking on the Heavenly Monarch Rankings and found that, as expected, his rank had improved significantly.

Previously, he was ranked 102nd on the Heavenly Monarch Rankings, but now he had risen to 46th, directly entering the top fifty, even surpassing Heavenly Monarch Pengyu.

Ye Tian's rapid rise had already shocked the entire Grand Universe, and countless Heavenly Monarchs were discussing him, though he had been in seclusion and unaware of it all.

"Greetings, Dao Child!"

One by one, the Heavenly Monarchs of the Void Sky Hall greeted Ye Tian with respect as he emerged from seclusion.

Many Heavenly Monarchs even showed expressions of admiration. After all, Ye Tian's speed of improvement was simply unimaginable.

Among the Heavenly Monarchs, even Heavenly Monarch Pengyu had completely submitted. In the past, his strength had surpassed Ye Tian's, and he had dared to call himself Ye Tian's senior brother, but now he no longer dared.

Before long, Ye Tian sent the Heavenly Monarchs of the Void Sky Hall away.

Ye Tian then returned to the human race and spent some time with his family. Afterward, he contacted Heavenly Monarch Sundragon to catch up on recent events.

In the past five hundred thousand years, nothing major had happened in the Grand Universe. The only notable event was that… Zero, the top-ranked Heavenly Monarch, had attacked the Dark God Society, slaying three of their Heavenly Monarchs.

"It seems that after investigating, Zero concluded that the Heavenly Monarch who acted that day must have been from the Dark God Society. The Dark God Society has taken the fall for me this time!" Ye Tian said with a smile.
