Previously, they thought these True Flames originated from an unknown crimson demonic bird in the sky, a power emanating from some supreme treasure hidden within its body.
But now, sensing the inexplicable disappearance of spiritual energy in the world, as well as the Dharma power, Divine Ability, and spell within their own bodies, and even the Qi above their heads, all were inexplicably flowing into these True Flames.
"Land of Absolute Spirit."
"Person of Absolute Spirit."
In an instant, Wang Chunfeng couldn't help but tremble.
Even though he was currently in a difficult situation, unable to escape life or death, at this moment he still couldn't help but think of the Sect outside the Eight Desolations.
He wondered if those Sect Seniors and fellow Senior Brothers would be able to detect the anomaly beneath the Eight Desolations here.
"The Eight Desolations are a variable."
"But a variable, most likely, is uncontrollable."
"Alas."
He sighed deeply.
The others didn't think as deeply as he did.
The Demon Cultivators, in particular, were filled with terror and rage.
But no matter how they moved, their bodies seemed to be completely immobilized in place.
Every action, even the movements of activating spells and chanting incantations, seemed to slow down every moment in the eyes of others.
In a flash.
Several people had not even waited for the tongues of flame to lick their bodies.
In an instant, not even a speck of dust remained in place.
Not a trace of Qi existed anymore.
At this moment, these Cultivators closest to the outer flames had their True Spirits obliterated.
Time drew closer little by little.
The True Flames pressed closer little by little.
"Senior Brother?"
In a daze.
Wang Chunfeng thought he had already died.
He hadn't expected his True Spirit to remain.
He heard a familiar voice.
"Junior Brother?"
As soon as he spoke.
He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
This was the Eight Desolations, and that Junior Brother Lu had come too?
Or had he, after his death, given birth to a lingering obsession and returned to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect?
However, he couldn't care about that much.
He said anxiously in his heart, "Junior Brother, quickly report to the Sect, a great calamity has appeared in the Eight Desolations."
Lu Qing looked at this Senior Brother; the other party seemed to think he had already died.
He looked towards the True Flames, "Senior Brother, we can discuss this later, I will help you escape first."
Wang Chunfeng subconsciously nodded.
Yes, he was also confused, how could Junior Brother report to the Sect, he was already...
Then, as if a few beats slow, "Eh, no.
"He—"
Wang Chunfeng's eyes widened.
He looked left and right.
He found that some Cultivators around him were also unexpectedly looking at his side, where a white-robed figure had suddenly appeared.
Lu Qing's gaze was calm; he was now at Primordial Spirit Perfection, and only half a step away from becoming a Void Illumination Realm Cultivator.
Void Illumination Realm reality, comprehending Qi, breaking boundless delusions.
All were within this single glance.
He looked at this True Flame, and at the crimson demonic bird in the sky.
"All things in the world are brought about by karmic affinity."
He murmured softly, flicking his sleeve casually; countless illusory figures formed from Dharma power before him, each striking down.
Like Dharma power and like sword light, instantly filling the vast sky.
"Roar!"
The strange bird in the sky let out a roar like a stone beast.
But it was powerless.
Its eyes instantly turned red, its neck felt a chill, and before its large head could fall, countless feathers and its physical body were instantly destroyed within a small area by a sword light.
A sword light emerged from his palm, and the True Flames stopped their approach.
"Collect!"
Lu Qing murmured softly, waving the sleeve of his robe; it was the Universe in the Sleeve, which he had pondered and cultivated for a long time, and now this Divine Ability had reached the stage of mastery for him, and the mysteries of cultivating the heavens and earth were also reflected in the cultivation of this Divine Ability.
This also allowed Lu Qing to sustain the consumption of this Divine Ability.
In less than the blink of an eye.
Lu Qing quelled the anomaly here.
An incense stick later.
Wang Chunfeng looked at his Junior Brother in a daze.
"Junior Brother, has a century passed in the outside world?
"Or several centuries?"
The others, saved by Lu Qing, also took out some treasures to show their gratitude.
However, Lu Qing did not choose them; these treasures were imbued with the Qi of the Eight Desolations.
Lu Qing subconsciously did not want to accept such things.
Wang Chunfeng finally couldn't help but speak.
"Junior Brother, what is your cultivation level now?"
"Primordial Spirit."
Lu Qing naturally had a good impression of this Senior Brother, otherwise he would not have used this karmic affinity to help him escape.
"Primordial Spirit, what Primordial Spirit?!"
This was basically the cause of the previous conversation.
Wang Chunfeng felt somewhat struck.
He was now at Golden Core Perfection, and reaching Perfection in a few years was indeed very fast.
But compared to his little Junior Brother, there seemed to be nothing to be proud of.
"Senior Brother, I can only stay here for a few breaths for now. I will report the situation here. Senior Brother, please be extra careful in this place."
"Alright, I understand."
"But Junior Brother, you actually don't want those people's things?"
Wang Chunfeng felt a bit regretful; his Junior Brother was good in every way, but he just didn't know how to adapt flexibly.
Although some of those people were disciples of the same Immortal Sect, they happened to be Cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Court, whose relationship with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect was neither warm nor cold, and on the surface, could only be said to be passable.
Speaking of this.
Lu Qing restrained the slight smile on his face and subtly glanced at the Qi above his Senior Brother's head.
"Senior Brother, although the Qi here is good, when Heaven gives too much, it is not necessarily a good thing."
He hinted at it euphemistically.
Wang Chunfeng also nodded, and hearing this, he straightened his face; he naturally kept in mind his Junior Brother's action of coming to save him.
Moreover, given the other party's cultivation level, he might have seen something, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, after this, if there's anything important, just say the word, Junior Brother."
Lu Qing chatted with him for a while, and finally, his Dharma power dissipated, and the karmic affinity slowly disappeared.
Only then did Lu Qing retract this sliver of Divine Sense.
His face showed no joy at this moment, only solemnity.
Deep in his eyes, he looked towards the northern Eight Desolations, and a hint of solemnity appeared.
Lu Qing had heard many things about the Eight Desolations.
He had also seen that world of the Eight Desolations through shadow stones or other Spiritual Artifacts similar to mirror flowers and water moons.
But none of that compared to what he had personally witnessed in that one glance.
It was this one glance that made Lu Qing choose not to continue staying in the Eight Desolations, and he even declined to accept the treasures imbued with the omnipresent Qi of that world, directly pushing them away.
The world of the Eight Desolations was vast in land and sky.
But looking at what supported it from below, a chill appeared in Lu Qing's heart.
"How could there be a head beneath the Eight Desolations?"
...
