Chapter 1301

"Success!"

Lin Yan exhaled softly.

Yes, he had successfully left his mark under the Flame Principle!

That mark was a symbol shaped like flame.

The flame symbol quickly faded, making it imperceptible to other Principle Lords.

But Lin Yan could use it to achieve "partial mastery" of the Flame Principle, greatly multiplying his ability to harness its power!

Leaving a Principle mark was much simpler than leaving a soul imprint.

In fact, with Lin Yan's current soul strength, even without sufficient accumulation, he could forcibly imprint his soul onto the Flame Principle.

However, Lin Yan did not choose to do so.

The Flame Form was already strong enough; there was no need to rush the Divine Body Form.

He could wait until it was safer.

"Will the backlash come now?"

Lin Yan murmured.

Then, he retracted all his will.

Instantly, the tremors on the Principle level—whether in the Heavenly Realm, the Abyss, or the Gods' Continent—came to a complete stop.

"What happened?"

As soon as the Principle-level tremors ceased, the watching Heavenly Realm gods sensed it.

"The Principle-level tremors have stopped—does that mean the Flame Lord has succeeded in the first step?"

One god exclaimed in disbelief.

"It's not yet final success; I heard there's still backlash on the Principle level."

Another god said.

No sooner had the god finished speaking than Lin Yan felt it—the backlash from the Flame Principle had arrived.

This backlash was not from the material level, nor the energy level, nor the soul level.

It instantly passed through all barriers and struck Lin Yan directly.

Yet, the Flame Principle's backlash was not particularly severe.

Lin Yan's Divine Body Form could withstand it by expending energy, let alone his Flame Form.

"The energy point consumption is astonishing!"

Lin Yan did not retract his Flame Form; instead, he chose to endure it, wanting to see just how strong the Flame Principle's backlash truly was.

Soon, he found out.

Even though it wasn't especially severe, enduring it still consumed a great deal.

The energy point drain was especially massive.

More than an hour later, the Flame Principle's backlash finally ceased.

But as if unwilling to let Lin Yan catch his breath,

the moment the Flame Principle's backlash ended, a greater, more terrifying backlash arrived.

It was the Balance Principle's backlash!

As soon as the Balance Principle's backlash came, Lin Yan felt it.

Some of the surrounding Principle Lords felt it too.

"The Balance Principle's backlash has finally come—hope you can survive it!"

In the empty space around, Venerable Tianlan's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of concern.

At that moment, she sensed something and suddenly changed expression.

Not just her.

All other Principle Lords changed expression at once.

"Such terrifying will—chaotic, evil—is this the will of the Abyssal Primordial God? Hahaha, fortune favors me!"

A Principle Lord preparing to seize control of the Flame Principle laughed aloud.

For at the edge of the Heavenly Realm, a terrifying will was slowly rising.

This will was utterly alien to the Heavenly Realm—which was precisely why the Principle Lords sensed it.

Immediately, that terrifying will surged toward the Dark Starry Void at an unstoppable speed.

Wherever the will passed, nearby shattered stars exploded into fragments; no existence could block its advance!
