Without further ado, Xuan signaled that he was ready for the next level. The 'V' roman numeral sigil above the door in front of him faded away for a brief moment before switching to 'VI', representing the sixth layer. Now, it was time to turn serious. Xuan knew this because he was well aware what the sixth layer of the Law of Fire was—if the fifth was healing, then the sixth was raw destruction—flames of pure, raw corruption, black and laced with poison.
Yes—they were known as 'Dark Flames'. From here on out, every layer that Xuan moved up from would be a new type of fire he could master, and each one would be harder than the last. Simply sitting in fire? That wasn't going to work this time around.
And just as Xuan was pondering what this next trial was going to be, he received his answer in the form of a dark figure that suddenly manifested and charged straight towards him, evil and with the intent to kill.
"—!"
