Burning Aether can be obtained by killing Aether Fiends and Aether Lords in the Infernal Hordes mode. These Aether enemies spawn in every wave, and you will get an audio cue whenever they appear on the map. Additionally, you can get Burning Aether by completing certain challenges or Infernal Offers.

Before entering each wave, you will be presented with various Infernal Offers. Each of these challenges you choose will make your run more difficult. The chosen Infernal Offers can stack and last throughout the run, so beware of how many you accept. However, the more Infernal Offers you take, the more Aether you will get.

After choosing your offers, continue with your run. You have to face multiple waves of enemies that spawn until you reach the final wave with the boss. Infernal Horde is a rogue-lite mode, so dying is not a big deal here. However, keep in mind that you can receive your Burning Aether and open chests using them only after you beat the final wave and defeat the boss.

The last wave will spawn a Fell Priest boss. If you manage to kill it, multiple chests will appear around you. You can open them using the Burning Aether you collected in the run. You can either open multiple chests or a single chest multiple times using your Burning Aether in Diablo 4 Season 5.
