The flames ignited, radiating endless hazy azure light.
This surge of power contained an astonishing life force that instantly enveloped Qin Chen's entire body. The corpse cloth that had bound him was suddenly stripped away, and he regained his freedom in an instant.
“What is this…?”
Qin Chen was taken aback, but quickly realized that the life force contained within the chaotic azure lotus fire had an extraordinary effect against the time-space suppression of the corpse cloth.
It was truly an unexpected joy.
Without hesitating, Qin Chen pointed forward, and with a whoosh, a blue flame shot out, landing directly onto the black corpse cloth that transformed into an expansive sky before him.
Boom!
It was as if a spark had fallen into a lake soaked with oil; in an instant, the entire void erupted into towering flames.
This single spark rapidly spread, and in a blink, the entire sky was transformed into an endless ocean of flames.
The raging flames scorched the sky, illuminating the eyes of everyone present.
“What… what’s happening?”
In the distance, everyone was stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
What kind of flame is this?
How could it instantly ignite a quasi-emperor underworld treasure, the corpse cloth?
Although this corpse cloth was merely a counterfeit, it should not be underestimated, for in the underworld, the materials used to forge a quasi-emperor level treasure must undoubtedly contain imperial power.
The term quasi-emperor is merely a simple classification of cultivation realms; in reality, there is no such thing as quasi-emperor materials in the underworld.
Imperial materials are imperial materials, transcendent materials are transcendent materials, and there is absolutely no such classification as quasi-emperor materials.
To forge a quasi-emperor treasure, the materials used must contain the aura of an emperor, such as this counterfeit corpse cloth, which likely used extremely complex materials from a special imperial wood or even the skin of a great emperor after death.
How could such a treasure be ignited?
But now…
Boom!
The azure flames burned, faintly taking the shape of a lotus flower. This flame seemed like a chaotic azure lotus growing on the corpse cloth, swaying and shocking everyone present.
“Ah!”
In the center of the formation, Kāluó Underworld Ancestor let out a painful roar. This blazing, astonishing flame contained infinite life force, and the intense aura caused his entire body to emit a hissing sound.
The most agonizing part was that as the controller of the corpse cloth, he had a fragment of his divine soul trapped within it. Now that the corpse cloth was ignited, that fragment of his divine soul felt as if it were being roasted, transmitting extreme pain.
It was as if his body was ablaze, wishing for death!
“Hehe, as expected of the master. This flame even scares the underworld insect, letting Kāluó Underworld Ancestor experience the taste of being scorched!”
In the Endless Blood Sea, the Soul-Eating Underworld Insect chuckled, looking quite relieved.
Having suffered under the chaotic azure lotus fire before, it naturally knew the power of this flame. Although it appeared ordinary at first glance, it contained a special life force that was most restraining for beings of the underworld.
It was unknown how the master controlled it without being constrained by this life force.
“Boom!”
The flames burned fiercely, quickly consuming the divine soul of Kāluó Underworld Ancestor. He frantically urged the corpse cloth, continuously releasing the endless black corpse aura within, attempting to extinguish the chaotic azure lotus fire.
Yet, he found it impossible to extinguish the surrounding flames; instead, it made the chaotic azure lotus fire burn even more brightly, soaring to an astounding height.
“Eh?”
At this moment, Qin Chen realized that the chaotic azure lotus fire wasn’t igniting the main body of the corpse cloth, but rather the black corpse aura continuously emanating from it.
This black corpse aura was extremely sinister, the remnants left after the corpse cloth had killed countless experts. Once released, it could easily corrupt a being at the third layer of transcendence, turning them into a corpse, consumed and devoured.
