Seeing Fang Chen like this, Fire Origin Glazed Saint felt helpless too. When Fang Chen had undergone his tribulation, even the Tribulation Clouds had fled around him. If he rushed over now, these clouds might flee at once as well.
Fire Origin Glazed Saint wanted to let Fang Chen try, but he would not gamble with Ye Qingci's safety.
Just then, the Tribulation Clouds seemed to finish gathering their strength.
Boom!
A bolt of azure Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning descended and struck Ye Qingci. Her body trembled slightly as the lightning burst apart, wrapping her in countless arcs of electricity.
A faint glow appeared over Ye Qingci's skin. Her body steadily absorbed the lightning's power, and her aura grew stronger with every moment.
Fang Chen and the others were astonished. The Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning seemed unable to harm Ye Qingci at all.
Fire Origin Glazed Saint stared at the faint glow surrounding her. "That glow around Qingci is extraordinary. It can completely withstand the force of Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning, then help her absorb its power!"
Fang Chen stared at the glow as well, shaken. He could absorb Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning because of his physique and the Devouring God Imprint. Ye Qingci had no such imprint, yet she could absorb its power too.
His surprise soon settled. There were ten thousand paths to the Great Dao, and countless ways to devour energy beneath the heavens. The Devouring God Art was only one of them.

That was where the Devouring God Art's true strength lay.
For instance, Fang Chen's Heaven Refining Furnace and life-bound Flying Sword
