Chapter 5470

The voice continued, each word laced with timeless wisdom and contempt:
“Remember this—there’s always a higher mountain, always someone stronger. Don’t mistake a spark for the sun.”

“The true path of flame is deeper and vaster than your minds can grasp.”

As the final words echoed, the golden phoenix let out one last cry, its radiant wings sweeping across the sky.
Then it burst into a stream of divine fire and vanished into the horizon.

Silence fell.

Fire Demon Lord and Fire Spirit Lord stood frozen, staring at the empty sky, their hearts pounding with awe and humiliation.

“Who… was that?” Fire Demon Lord muttered, his voice shaking.
If that being had wanted to kill them, he could’ve done it with a thought.

Fire Spirit Lord’s expression was solemn. He inhaled deeply, his voice steady but reverent.
“I don’t know. But whoever he was… he’s an existence beyond anything we can comprehend. His command over flame is absolute—something neither of us will ever reach.”
