Chapter 1523 Divine Ability of Flames!
Chapter 1523 Divine Ability of Flames!
Max instinctively lowered his gaze, and at that moment, he felt an intense warmth forming in the palm of his right hand. The warmth quickly turned into heat, and then into a burning sensation that was not painful but impossible to ignore.
As he raised his hand, he saw a faint crimson glow emerging from the center of his palm. The glow grew stronger, and soon thin lines of light began to carve themselves into his skin, moving and twisting like living flames.
These lines intertwined with each other, forming an intricate and mesmerizing pattern that resembled a blazing fire frozen in motion. Within moments, the mark was complete.
A flaming symbol now rested in the center of his palm, radiating a subtle heat that felt completely natural, as if it had always belonged there.
As the mark settled, a wave of understanding appeared in Max's mind without any effort on his part. It was not something he had learned or comprehended through practice. It was knowledge that simply existed within him now.
The knowledge of the Divine Ability.
"Let me try this Divine Ability of mine," Max muttered softly as curiosity flickered in his eyes.
He focused his will.
Almost instantly, the flaming mark in the center of his right palm responded.
The faint glow that had remained dormant beneath his skin suddenly burst into life, shining with a deep crimson brilliance. The light did not remain confined to his palm. It began spreading outward, flowing along his skin like liquid fire.
In just a few moments, the entire palm of his hand was covered in that radiant glow, and the spreading did not stop there. The crimson light continued moving upward, covering his wrist and then creeping further until it reached halfway up his forearm, stopping just below his elbow.
Max raised his hand slightly and examined it.
The glow was intense, yet it did not burn him. Instead, it felt completely natural, as if his arm had always possessed this power. The energy contained within the mark felt stable and under his absolute control.
Without wasting time, Max lifted his left hand.
A thought crossed his mind, and black flames instantly ignited in his palm. The flames burned quietly, dense and heavy with destructive power. He had used these flames countless times before, and they had always been dominant, consuming and suppressing everything they came into contact with.
Slowly, Max brought his left hand closer to his right.
The black flames flickered as they approached the crimson glow.
Then, the moment the flames touched his right palm, something unexpected happened.
The black flames did not clash with the red glow.
They scattered.
It was as if they had lost all cohesion in an instant. The moment they made contact with the crimson light, the flames broke apart and dissipated, vanishing as if they had never existed.
Max's eyes widened in shock.
"Even my black flames are no exception," he said quietly, disbelief evident in his voice.
He stared at his right hand again, watching the steady crimson glow that still covered it.
His black flames were not ordinary fire. They were born from his bloodline and had always possessed overwhelming devouring and suppressive properties. Until now, he had never encountered anything that could so easily disrupt them.
Yet this Divine Ability had done exactly that.
Max's expression slowly turned serious as he began analyzing what he had just witnessed.
The knowledge that came with the ability surfaced clearly in his mind.
This power was not simply an enhancement.
It was something far more fundamental.
At its core, this Divine Ability allowed him to nullify flame based attacks within a certain range determined by his strength. Any flame that entered that range would lose its structure and be rendered useless unless it exceeded his control.

Not only that, but the ability also granted him the power to dominate flame based constructs.
As long as the flames were within his control range, he could manipulate them at will, override their original owner's control, and even turn them against their source.
Max slowly clenched his right hand.
The crimson glow flickered slightly as it responded to his movement.
"This is⦠far more powerful than I expected," he muttered.
At present, the ability did not have a name, but its nature was already clear to him.
It was not just a flame ability.
It was authority over flames.
Max looked at his glowing arm once more, his gaze deepening as he began to understand the true value of what he had just obtained.
Just then, a thought suddenly crossed Max's mind, causing his expression to shift slightly as a spark of curiosity rose within him. His attention turned inward toward the flaming branch of his Chaos Tree where four identical fruits still hung quietly, radiating a faint and mysterious glow.
If consuming one fruit had granted him a Divine Ability, then what about the remaining four? Would eating each of them grant him additional Divine Abilities as well?
The idea itself felt absurd even to him, almost too good to be true, and yet the temptation to test it was impossible to ignore.
Max understood that opportunities like this rarely appeared twice, and if there was even the slightest chance that he could gain more power, he had to confirm it for himself.
After a brief moment of thought, Max decided not to leave it to speculation. With a single intent, he reached toward the Chaos Tree within his body and plucked another fruit from the flaming branch.
Just as before, the fruit responded to his will and appeared in his hand outside his body. He held it in his palm and examined it carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly as he focused on its properties. Soon, the familiar information surfaced in his mind.
[Chaos Flame Fruit]
β Description: [A product of the Chaos Tree born from the essence of world laws.]
β Effect: [Eating this fruit grants the birth of a divine body of flames.]
β Note: [No effect to Host.]
Max read the information silently, and this time, his reaction was much calmer. A look of understanding appeared on his face as he slowly nodded to himself.
"I see," he murmured softly. "So only the first fruit grants a Divine Ability."
The realization settled naturally in his mind, and it immediately made sense to him. If every fruit could grant a separate Divine Ability, then that would be far too overwhelming, even for something as extraordinary as the Chaos Tree.
There had to be a limit, and now he understood what that limit was.
Even though the remaining fruits would not grant him additional Divine Abilities, Max did not feel disappointed in the slightest. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the fruit in his hand. These fruits still possessed immense value.
The ability to grant a divine body of flames to others was something that could not be measured with simple standards.
In the Divine Realm, such an opportunity could change the fate of an individual completely, turning an ordinary genius into someone capable of standing at the peak.
"These will definitely come in handy in the future," Max muttered with a satisfied expression as he stored the fruit away.
He already had a clear idea of how he wanted to use them. Whether it was to strengthen allies, build his own force, or create loyal subordinates with immense potential, these fruits would play a crucial role in his plans moving forward.
