Chapter 6: ??The Seal Breaks, The Inferno Awakens??
---
A Silent Night… Before the Storm
The night was deep, the moon casting a pale glow over the dense forest. Shadows flickered as the wind stirred, carrying an eerie silence.
But something unnatural had begun to take shape.
The air grew heavy, as if weighed down by an invisible force. Trees trembled. Birds screeched in panic before taking flight.
At the center of it all, Ji Yang stood motionless—but inside, something was breaking free.
?? A strange, unseen energy rippled around him, radiating from his very core. ??
His breaths were slow, deep—but every fiber of his being felt like it was burning from the inside out. The energy coursing through his veins had changed.
It had mutated.
> "This flame… this is no ordinary fire!"
The Assassin felt a chill crawl down his spine. At first, he had assumed Ji Yang was experiencing an energy backlash.
But now—he saw the truth.
?? This was no backlash. ??
This was destruction in its purest form.
A rare emotion stirred in the Assassin’s heart—
FEAR.
> "If I don’t end this now… this fire might consume me too."
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
His grip on his sword tightened. His instincts screamed at him.
Kill Ji Yang. NOW.

??Death and Destruction Begin??
The Assassin leaped into the air, sword raised high, moving with blinding speed.
?? His killing intent surged. ??
> "Shadow Breaker Slash!"
A jet-black arc of energy tore through the air, slicing through the wind itself. It shot toward Ji Yang’s heart—
BOOM! ??
A deafening explosion erupted as the ground split apart. Trees shattered. The shockwave flattened everything in its path.
The Assassin landed gracefully, exhaling cold breath.
> "It’s over."
But then… through the settling dust—
Two burning eyes emerged.
---
??Ji Yang—The Avatar of Flames??
As the dust cleared, what emerged was something beyond comprehension.
?? Ji Yang stood amidst the destruction, wreathed in unearthly flames. ??
His tattered robes had burned away, yet his body was unharmed. The heat around him was so intense, it looked as though his very soul had become fire.
His eyes no longer held any traces of humanity—only FLAMES.
> "What… what the hell is this?!"
The Assassin staggered backward.
?? His instincts screamed—this was NOT human. ??
For the first time in his life… he truly felt terror.
---
??The Seal Shatters—Yin-Yang Flame Unleashed??
A deep, resounding voice echoed within Ji Yang's consciousness.
> "The seal… is broken…"
?? The earth trembled. ??
Cracks snaked across the scorched ground. The very air vibrated with power.
Ji Yang’s flames shifted—from red-orange… to ominous blue-black.
The Assassin’s blood ran cold.
> "No… this isn’t just fire. This is something far worse!"
Ji Yang’s body convulsed violently, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
> "ARRRGHHH!!" ??
Behind him, a massive ethereal flame beast began to materialize—
?? A towering entity of blue-black fire. ??
It had no face—only a churning vortex of flames, pulsating with immeasurable power.
The Assassin’s mind blanked.
> "I HAVE TO RUN!"
But before he could move—
---
??Infernal Devastation—The Assassin’s Demise??
Ji Yang raised his hand.
?? A wave of pure, formless fire erupted from his fingertips. ??
?? WHOOOOOSH!! ??
The flames surged forward at impossible speed, silent yet absolute.
The Assassin barely had time to react—
> "Qi Armor—Defensive Mode!"
A translucent Qi barrier formed around him.
?? It melted instantly. ??
The flames didn’t just burn through his body…
?? They devoured his very existence. ??
> "This is impossible—" ??
His scream was cut short as his soul was incinerated.
In mere seconds, the once-feared Assassin was reduced to nothing but ashes.
??? The wind carried his remains away. ???
Only silence remained.
---
??The Forest Burns, Chaos Unleashed??
But the flames did not stop.
?? Like a monstrous storm, the inferno spread outward. ??
Birds screeched, animals scattered, trees collapsed into embers.
The sky—once serene—was now bathed in a hellish glow.
?? The fire was no longer just Ji Yang’s. ??
It was UNSTOPPABLE.
---
??Ji Yang—Losing Control???
Ji Yang stood motionless.
> "... "
His body trembled as he stared at his own hands.
?? The flames licking at his fingertips felt… unfamiliar. Untamed. ??
For the first time, he questioned—
> "Can I stop this?"
A flicker of his human consciousness resurfaced.
But…
Was it too late?
?? The fire had already claimed everything. ??
?? Would Ji Yang regain control…? ??
Or…
?? Had he already stepped onto a path of unstoppable destruction? ??
