Rex focused on the ember, extending a thread of his will toward it. The small fire didn't resist, rather it seed to welco his presence. He didn't even need to materialize his will into chains like the other two flas. Holding the ember with his ntal power/will, he looked between it and the two other flas before guiding it toward the two larger flas.
As the ember approached, both the dark fire and the golden fire flared up in warning, their energies surging with renewed aggression. Rex gritted his teeth, tightening his ntal grip on the chains.
"Stand down" he said firmly, his voice resonating in the inner world.
The flas hesitated, their movents slowing as the chains tightened on them. But it was enough for Rex to act. With painstaking consumption of ntal power, he brought the ember closer towards the dark fire.
The mont the ember touched the edge of the dark fire, a ripple of energy spread outward. The chaotic black flas recoiled slightly, their movents less wild. It wasn't that the dark fire was calming down on it's own rather, upon contact with the dark gold ember, the fla was entirely controlled. Afterwards it beca docile for the entirety of the ti in contact with the dark gold fla.
Of course this was only but a test and the mont Rex moved the dark gold ember away from the dark fla, the dark gold fla imdiately showed aggression as it tried to attack but was stopped with his control.
Next, Rex guided the ember toward the golden fire. When it made contact, the golden flas shimred, their oppressive aura softening similar to the dark fire. Rex didn't know how the dark gold ember controlled the two flas but when he let it continue to do it's work, he didn't feel painful or rather he could feel connected to the dark gold fla similar to how the dark fla was before rather the connection between it and him was even stronger.
He could feel it get stronger. He could feel the ember asking him to allow it to eat the two flas. Rex thought for a while before deciding. He positioned the ember between the two fires, its balanced energy acting as a buffer. Slowly, he began drawing the dark fire and golden fire closer, their edges now touching the ember rather than each other.
The reaction was imdiate. Instead of clashing violently, the two fires seed to ld into the dark gold ember, their energies pulled inward rather than outward.
"It's working"
The ember began to grow, feeding on the energies of the two fires. Its colour deepened, the black and gold blending into intricate patterns that danced across its surface. Black tendrils spiralled through golden streaks, forming a srizing scene.
Rex felt the strain on his will lessen as the chains dissolved, no longer needed. The dark fire and golden fire weren't fighting anymore. They were rging being used by the dark gold ember.
The ember pulsed with increasing intensity, its energy expanding to fill his inner world. Rex watched in awe as it transford, becoming a blazing inferno that burned with unparalleled beauty. The once separate flas were now indistinguishable, their energies perfectly balanced.
The new dark gold fla radiated a presence that was both familiar and foreign. It carried both the primal ferocity of the dark fire and the regal authority of the golden fire, yet it was neither. It was sothing entirely new, sothing greater.
Rex extended his hand, and the fla responded, flowing toward him like a loyal companion. When it touched his palm, warmth spread through his body not the searing heat of battle, but a comforting warmth.
His entire body in his inner world was burning with the dark gold flas. Even though he was burning, he didn't feel any pain from it rather it felt comfortable. The ntal energy he used before seed to have recovered.
"I don't even need to control it like the black fire"
It wasn't the first ti Rex had been to his inner world. He knew that his elent specifically his fire elent was special. Though cultivators had normal elents which varied from person to person for which elent they were stronger at. There were at tis variations from the normal elent types. These were very rare occurrences and at tis only known to the user itself. So show themselves while elent testing while others hide themselves.
As for Rex's own, it was the latter. He didn't know about it before he used it for the first ti when he was young. He fell unconscious at the ti after it's first appearance, arriving at the inner world where he had to battle with the fla.

{Flashback}
When Rex was just a child, after testing his talent and elent, he was very happy to have gained a good talent. His strongest elent was fire so he wanted to try it out as soon as he had the ti.
Sitting in an lotus position on his bed, Rex concentrated. The image of fire sprang into his mind, and a mont later, black flas roared to life in his palm, flickering ominously.
'It's a variation'
Rex as a child never skipped out on his ho schooled lessons and knew about these special variations that so people had.
'Fit for a person like who is going to kick the butt of that old bastard and his stupid son'
The person in question was of course the person who was always talked about whenever he was concerned. Afterall he was still his son at least in na. There was a trace of anger on his childlike face.
'This will help with my conquest'
Afterall special variations almost all of the ti gave various benefits and boosted power. But his excitent turned to alarm. The fla turned wild the next second and consuming his mana, far beyond anything he had imagined. It surged out of his control, spreading rapidly and overwhelming his senses. Before he could react, the world went dark.
When Rex opened his eyes, he was no longer in the real world. Instead, he stood in a vast, empty void illuminated by the eerie glow of the black fla. It hovered before him, crackling from ti to ti.
"Where... am I?" he murmured.
The fla gave no answer. Instead, it lunged at him. Instinctively, Rex raised his arms to shield himself, but the attack hit him with overwhelming force. Pain wracked his body as he collapsed, gasping for air.
When he woke back in the real world, drenched in sweat and with a pounding headache, he should have been terrified. But Rex wasn't afraid. Rather it ignited his sense of conquest. The stronger the fla, the stronger he would beco when he could wield it and the easier it would beco for his conquest of teaching a lesson to the son and father pair.
From that day, Rex beca fixated. Every ti he summoned the fla, it would drain his strength and force him into the strange inner world, where the fla awaited him. It could not kill him so there was nothing he needed to be afraid of it.
The battles were relentless. Rex could do little to harm the fla. His attempts to strike it were t with failure, his physical attacks did nothing against its ethereal body and chaotic energy. Each ti, the fla would overpower him with ease, and he'd wake up battered, drained, and aching. But he never gave up.
Rex already knew that brute force didn't work and this dinsion where he was in should be connected to himself but he didn't know what it was. Through countless battles, he discovered the key, his ntal power. The first ti he discovered it was from his intent to want to have a fair fight with this fla and sothing appeared on his hand before disappearing. Soon after he got killed by the fla in his inner world but it sparked a way for him.
