My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1742

On the way to the Ancient Demon Ruins, Ditto briefed Nash all about the Nirvana Fire.

In ancient times, Kolruk was a Divine Beast that took a physical form after successful cultivation. He was honored as Patriarch Kolruk by the demon clan.

After Kolruk unified the demon clan, he declared himself the ancestor of all demons.

Kolruk had the body of Lunar Black Ice and Solar Black Flame. One day, Kolruk had a whim and merged both bodies together.

The essence of Lunar Black Ice was water, after all. Incompatibility between water and flame was an eternal rule.

However, Kolruk decided to break this rule. After trial and error for thousands of years, he finally cultivated a flame with the properties of black ice. Kolruk named the flame he created the Nirvana Fire.

In the following hundreds of years, he dueled with many powerful Fire Espers. The Nirvana Fire suppressed all the Fire Espers and ranked top five on the list of divine fires.

More than 1,600 years ago, the gods of the West fought against the Ancient Immortals of the East.

Kolruk led the demon clan to join the war, and the Nirvana Fire burned countless high-level gods of the West.

Alas, Kolruk was seriously injured because the Nirvana Fire consumed a huge amount of energy. He was later defeated by the Supreme Western God.

Kolruk died, and his spirit disappeared. Meanwhile, the Nirvana Fire was left with only a wisp of fire seed.

Nash stood there for a moment and then walked toward the pillar in the stone chamber.

The biting cold hit his face. The ice crystals on the ground crawled up his legs like vines on a tree. His blood flow slowed down.

Nash released the power of black ice and absorbed all the ice crystals on his legs back into his body. The black ice of the seed was equivalent to the power of thousand-year black ice.

In this realm, Nash had only reached the area of thousand-year black ice, and he had already mastered the control of thousand-year black ice.

As he released the power of black ice, the thousand-year black ice inside his body could absorb the thousand-year black ice from the outside world.

Nash came to the pillar without any obstruction.

The seed of the Nirvana Fire in the middle of the pillar was only the size of a little finger.

Husky stood up and stared at Nash with its huge, round eyes. The chances of it leaving this wretched place depended on whether its new master could successfully conquer the Nirvana Fire.

Nash's eyes were focused. He raised

his arm and released the blue flames. The blue flames instantly turned his sleeves into dust. As the blue flames trailed along Nash's long, defined fingers, he caught the fire seed.

The Nirvana Fire released bright white light and swallowed Nash.

Husky gripped its claws abruptly, causing cracks to appear on the rock-hard ground.

Blinded by the white light, Husky was unsure whether its new master had been burned to ashes. It thought, I've been waiting for more than 1,600 years to replace such a

person. If this is the case, I might

hard

to stay here for the rest of my

life.'

Spiritual powers were limited, so Husky would usually lay at the entrance of the cave. It would not dare to run around.

The white light enveloped Nash like a silkworm in its cocoon. The coldness disappeared and was replaced by the warmth of a hot spring. Nash's consciousness came to nothingness.

A huge looming, illusory Ruk, a creature that was a cross between a whale and a bird, came into view.

Nash stood before the huge creature and felt that he was smaller than an ant.

A thought came to mind 'The size of a Ruk might just be thousands of miles from end to end.'

Although Ruk was not as exaggerated as thousands of miles wide, it was still enough to shock Nash deeply.

Ruk was a creature from Eastern mythology. Despite its huge size, it could not escape the fate of returning to dust upon its demise.

Nash was

awe as he looked at

·e

Rukce. He clasped his

fists

and said, "Greetings

Kolrak. I'm Nash, your humble junior!"

"Are you here to take the Nirvana Fire?" An old, weary voice sounded in Nash's ears.

Nash said firmly, "Yes!"

The mist surged. A pair of clear eyes the size of a house appeared. There were runes flowing in the eyes, mysterious and majestic.

After a moment, the old voice said lightly, "I can't see through your future. I can't give you the Nirvana Fire!"

The Nirvana Fire was extremely powerful. It would only bring disaster to the world if it fell into the hands of people with evil intentions. Nash felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He also knew that Kolruk was worried that the Nirvana Fire would fall into the wrong hands. However, he was curious about why even Kolruk could not see through his future.
