The destructive energy storm is like a real raging sea wave, raging crazily in the sky above Sunken City. Li Wen The petite figure is like a small boat in the angry sea, flying hard towards the center of the battlefield against the storm that can tear apart steel.

Relying on the sensitivity and speed given by Witch State and "Devotion to Light and Fire", Li Wen tried its best to avoid the impact of energy escaping around it. Even so, even if she just keeps flying towards the center of the battle, the pressure she feels is still far beyond the limit she can bear at this stage.

The Twilight Erosion speed on the panel was beating crazily, silently telling the desperate situation she was facing at the moment.

From time to time, ferocious gaps were torn open on Emerald Star Cloak. The destructive energy penetrated the defense of the cloak, burning her skin and tearing apart her flesh and blood. The severe pain is like maggots in the tarsal bones, endless, but the Twilight's Eternal Power given by Witch State is running crazily at the same time. The torn wounds heal and regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the new tissues are torn open by new energy in an instant.

Collapse and regeneration formed a cruel cycle in Li Wen's body. She could smell the smell of her own burnt flesh and blood, and every breath was as sweet as hot rust.

But she couldn't stop.

In the distance, the two strong men on the verge of death have completely fallen into their final madness. Poe Derian's magic no longer pursues exquisite control, but turns into the most primitive and pure catharsis of energy. He controlled the remains of the ruins of the entire city, lifting up the 10,000-meter-high boulder the Tide, tearing apart the void and raining doomsday fire rain of destruction.

Kourt and Remnant Soul turned into a dead realm that swallowed up all light and heat. Gray Mist, which is composed of pure death energy, rolls and condenses into countless terrifying shadows of different shapes - wailing souls, skeletal giants holding scythes, huge eyeballs flowing with pus and blood... They fearlessly pounce on the magic light of Poe Drian, and erupt with more violent impacts as they annihilate each other. In his eyes composed of deathly flames, there was only a primitive hunger for freedom and a complete soul.

Of course they were aware of Li Wen's approach.

Nothing under their feet could escape their god-like perception, not to mention the tiny figure swimming upstream, as clear as a firefly in the dark night. However, neither Poe Drian nor Kourt were distracted by this.

In their eyes, a transcendent person who has not even reached Stage Three is no different from a flying insect trying to get closer to the center of the storm. Her power and existence are so insignificant that they are not worth mentioning. What they are fighting for is "Undying Flower", the only hope to transcend life and death. In front of such a great goal, crushing an ant is not even worth wasting a thousandth of a second of their time and energy.

Their "acquiescence" is not out of kindness or contempt, but a kind of indifference under absolute power. The only thing they paid attention to was to ensure that the flying insect would not accidentally touch the ripening fruit due to some stupid move and interfere with the core of the ceremony. Other than that, her life and death had nothing to do with them.

Li Wen also knows this, which is why she dares to go deep.

Her eyes penetrated the chaotic energy storm and locked on the "Undying Flower" floating in the center of the battlefield.

As Poe Drian and Kourt continued to burn their souls and powers, the translucent flower became more solid and dazzling. It greedily absorbed every trace of magic and death energy escaping from the two powerful men, and gradually transformed into some greater power and form.

The light bands flowing inside it are like miniature galaxies, and every pulse exudes a vast and ancient coercion.

This pressure is invisible and qualityless, but more terrifying than any substantive attack. It directly acted on the soul level, and Li Wen felt as if his consciousness was about to be crushed and decomposed under this pressure. If Urd's Thorn hadn't taken root deep in her soul, she might have died from the impact the moment she got close.

Even so, the suppression from high-ranking beings still made it difficult for her to move forward. The progress of Twilight Erosion began to soar at an unprecedented speed.

[Invasion of the house at dusk: 75%]

It has to be faster.

Li Wen gritted his teeth and accelerated his flight speed instead of retreating.

At this moment, the situation in the center of the battlefield changed subtly.

The offensives of Poe Drian and Kourt invariably slowed down.

They all know very well that this unreserved fight will only lead to losses for both sides in the end. No matter who can barely stand to the end, they will be in a state of exhaustion and weakness. By then, the one who will reap the benefits will only be the "Undying Flower" that was created by their own hands but has gradually escaped from their control.

They don't trust anyone.

They don't trust this flower even more.

Between eternal temptation and complete destruction, the two old enemies who had been fighting for hundreds of years reached a strange and tacit understanding at the last moment.

Poe Drian's skinny body began to become translucent, as if it was about to turn into pure etheric magic. He condensed all his remaining strength and will into an invisible shackle made of magic runes. Instead of attacking Kourt, he branded it fiercely on the perfect Undying Flower. He wanted to carve his own right of ownership into the core of its "concept" before the flower completely backfired on him.

At the same time, Kourt's Remnant Soul, which was composed of death energy, also suddenly shrank, turning into an extremely condensed darkness exuding absolute deathly silence. This darkness also did not attack Poe Drian, but turned into another chain full of decay and finality, entangling towards Undying Flower with the same unquestionable attitude.

They gave up on mutual destruction and instead began the final and most critical fight - the fight for the final ownership of this miracle flower!

That's it now!

The moment Poe Drian and Kourt stopped at the same time and used all their strength to restrain the flowers, there was a tiny, almost negligible stasis on the entire battlefield. For others, this may be just an ordinary gap between two attacks, but for Li Wen who focuses all his attention on this, this is the only fleeting flaw on the entire chessboard!

She didn't hesitate at all.

The moment she realized this opportunity, her body had already reacted.

Lost Moth!

A glimmer of determination ignited in Li Wen's pupils, and she activated the magical trait she gained after being promoted to Candle Holder.

Without burning life, under Witch State, all consumption is converted into Twilight Erosion.

[Twilight Erosion: 81%]

Her figure disappeared on the spot and appeared thirty meters away in an instant, one step closer to the center of the storm. All that was left was an afterimage made of embers that was about to dissipate.

The terrifying energy pressure came in an instant and poured heavily on her body. Emerald Star Cloak let out an overwhelmed whine, and Twilight Erosion's progress bar jumped again.

But Li Wen did not pause.

Lost Moth!

[Twilight Erosion: 88%]

The figure flickered again. She had crossed over the outermost energy area composed of magic and death, and came to Undying Flower. The divine radiance emitted by the flower was so bright that she could hardly look directly at it. Every slight opening and closing of the petals seemed to be breathing, inhaling the soul essence of the two powerful men, and spitting out ripples of rules that distorted the space.

Two consecutive high-intensity teleportations had brought her Twilight Erosion speed to the limit. Her body became increasingly sluggish in the cycle of collapse and rebirth, and her consciousness began to experience bouts of dizziness.

But there is still a little distance to go.

Poe Derian and Kourt had noticed her overestimating behavior, but at the moment all their strength was used to check and balance each other and compete for the ownership of the flowers, and they were unable to be distracted at all. They just glanced at her with a mixture of surprise and contempt, as if they were looking at a madman who threw himself into the fire.

They didn't believe that this ant, who couldn't even bear the aftermath of their power, could do anything else.

There was no expression on Li Wen's face, and the huge, perfect crystal flower was reflected in the amber pupils. She could clearly see that in the deepest part of the flower, the stamen that was about to solidify was located at the core of the petals.

That's her goal.

"Do it again!"

Li Wen's will has exceeded the limit that the body can bear.

She launched Lost Moth for the third time.

[Twilight Erosion: 96%]

The consumption this time was far greater than before. She felt that her soul seemed to be Ignite, and Emerald Star Cloak completely shattered into countless points of light the moment the teleportation was completed. Her figure finally appeared under the huge petals of Undying Flower.

The last thirty meters were now only a stone's throw away.

But she has reached her limit. The progress bar of Twilight Erosion is flashing crazily, as if it will break through the final hurdle at any time.

"Not enough..."

She used her last bit of strength to overdraw the future and her own existence, and performed the fourth and final teleportation.

There was no shouting, no hesitation, just a cold, terminal awareness.

[Twilight Erosion: 100%]

The moment the erosion reached its limit, Li Wen's figure finally disappeared. This time, no embers were left in place, as if her existence had been completely wiped out in this last burning.

The next moment, under the unbelievable gazes of Poe Drian and Kourt, in the deepest part of the flawless Undying Flower, which was about to bloom completely, at the core wrapped in layers of gleaming crystal petals, a small but decisive figure quietly appeared.
