Crimson Jiang Chen?

The entire realm trembled as the transformation began.

Thousands of roots extended from the pink lotus at Jiang Chen's forehead, piercing deep into the realm's surface. These roots, seemingly endless, stretched out like a web of crimson veins, reaching every corner of the fiery realm. The only area untouched was the central tower, which stood resolutely against the growing network of roots.

From the depths of the realm, the roots began to draw out the Origin Fire Essence, an ancient and pure energy that had slumbered for eons. The fire essence materialized as pulsating clusters of deep crimson-red photons. Each cluster of photons converged into a glowing orb, flickering like a living flame, before being absorbed by the roots. The process was mesmerizing yet terrifying—like an infinite army of fiery spirits marching toward the lotus.

For every root transferring an orb of Origin Fire Essence, countless more followed, creating a river of blazing energy that surged toward the lotus. This torrent of power caused the crimson veins within the petals of the lotus to come alive, glowing and pulsating with a rhythm akin to a heartbeat. Each petal became a canvas for intricate crimson circuits, their designs as ancient and profound as the realm itself. The burning aura emanating from the lotus grew stronger, spreading across the entire realm and raising the ambient temperature to unbearable levels.

Jiang Chen, seated in the lotus, was the center of this phenomenon. His body began to undergo an extraordinary transformation. The pulsating circuits on the petals extended toward him, connecting to his skin and seeping into his body. As the circuits fused with him, his flesh slowly turned a deep crimson red, radiating waves of fiery energy. His aura intensified, becoming so oppressive that even the surrounding flames seemed to bow in submission.

Zi Xia, standing at a distance, was awestruck by the sight. She muttered to herself, Pink lotus ,sign of First stage of enlightenment,is it really that easy to gain the recognition of Heaven ,Thousands of thousands of cultivators across all the realms dream to get recognised by heaven and reach this stage of enlightenment but that's only a dream ,even I only reached this stage one time ,with all my talent and treasures,...haahhh.....is this the difference between us....

Hmm all the roots are sending the essence energy to the lotus,maybe helping in cultivating the Fire dao or aspect??

Despite her composure, Zi Xia felt a twinge of unease. The Origin Fire Essence being drawn from the realm was unlike anything she had encountered, and Jiang Chen's transformation was pushing the realm to its limits. She couldn't help but wonder if this would lead to a catastrophe or the birth of something extraordinary.

The process continued for what felt like days, each moment more intense than the last. The crimson circuits in Jiang Chen's body grew brighter, pulsating in harmony with the circuits on the lotus petals. His internal organs, muscles, and bones all underwent a fiery baptism, being reforged into something far beyond human limits. The deep crimson energy merged with his very essence, making him an embodiment of the fire itself.

As the transformation reached its climax, golden characters began to appear between Jiang Chen's eyebrows, emerging from the very core of his being. These characters were ancient and profound, each glowing with divine radiance. One by one, they floated out, forming a circular orbit around his body. The characters shimmered like stars, their golden light contrasting beautifully against the crimson aura emanating from Jiang Chen.

The golden writings continued to emerge, forming intricate patterns that spiraled around both Jiang Chen and the lotus. The sight was both divine and otherworldly, as if the realm itself had begun to pay homage to him. Zi Xia, witnessing this, felt a mix of awe and trepidation. "Those writings… they are the same as in the manual. Could it be that he understood the body Cultivation manual,this easily ,this early ,its...its

impossible right ,there is no one in the world who can do this,and it's not just he understood it ,he comprehended it too.."

The manual of the Asura's War Body Codex, which had been lying discarded on the ground, suddenly came to life. It floated into the air, drawn toward the lotus by an invisible force. The book hovered above the pointed tip of the lotus, its pages flipping rapidly as if being consumed by the lotus's fiery aura.

The crimson circuits within the lotus intensified, radiating a heat so extreme that the very air seemed to distort. As the manual floated higher, it began to disintegrate, its pages burning away into golden-red embers. These embers coalesced into a single drop of glowing, golden-red liquid—a drop of blood imbued with the essence of the codex.

The drop of blood descended toward the center of the lotus, merging with the golden characters that surrounded it. The writings began to revolve around the blood at an unimaginable speed, creating a vortex of energy that engulfed the entire realm. The intensity of the phenomenon caused massive typhoons of fire to erupt across the realm, their winds carrying the heat of a thousand suns.

Jiang Chen, still in a trance state, felt the golden-red energy entering his body. The characters, the blood, and the essence of the codex all merged with him, becoming a part of his very soul. The circuits on his body grew more intricate, forming golden veins that intertwined with the crimson ones. His body now radiated an aura of both destruction and divinity, a perfect balance of chaos and order.

Zi Xia could barely contain her amazement. "This is… impossible. The codex not only acknowledged him but willingly sacrificed itself to become one with him. Jiang Chen, just what kind of monster are you?"

The transformation continued as the golden veins spread across Jiang Chen's body. Starting from his feet, they moved upward, branching out like rivers of molten gold. His legs, torso, arms, and finally his neck and face were all covered in pulsating golden circuits. Even his hair, once dark, was now a radiant mix of crimson and gold, each strand glowing as if forged from fire itself.

The lotus beneath him underwent a similar transformation. The golden-red energy spread through its petals, forming intricate veins that pulsated with life. The entire structure seemed to breathe, its aura growing so intense that the very fabric of the realm began to distort. The once stable realm was now on the verge of collapse, its fiery essence being drawn entirely into the lotus and Jiang Chen.

The heat radiating from Jiang Chen was overwhelming. Zi Xia, despite her immense cultivation, was forced to retreat further to avoid being incinerated. She couldn't help but marvel at the sight. "He's no longer just a human. He's becoming something far greater—an entity that transcends mortal limits. If he can fully harness this power, there's no telling what heights he'll reach."

As the transformation reached its peak, the lotus released a final surge of energy. A golden light erupted from it, illuminating the entire realm. The crimson and golden circuits on Jiang Chen's body pulsated violently, as if syncing with the very heartbeat of the universe. The golden veins, now fully formed, stretched across his entire body, merging seamlessly with his crimson-red flesh.

The realm itself seemed to bow before Jiang Chen. The flames that had once burned fiercely now flickered weakly, their essence absorbed into the lotus. The fiery winds subsided, replaced by a calm yet oppressive silence. The entire realm was now a part of Jiang Chen, its energy fueling his transformation.

As the golden veins spread to every corner of his body, they finally reached his forehead. The golden writings, which had been revolving around him, now began to converge, forming a symbol between his eyebrows. This symbol radiated divine energy, its light piercing through the fabric of the realm.
