"Grandmasters are under a lot of pressure," Feng Luoyi said. "Limited resources should be saved wherever possible."
"Limited renewable resources," Wang Qi emphasized. "But don't save them like this! If something happens to me, the Immortal Alliance will suffer enormous losses! Avoiding risk is itself a form of profit!"
"If even a holder of the Flame of Life cannot make it through, then this trial has no purpose at all. It would simply be taking lives," Feng Luoyi said. "There were test subjects before you."
At that moment, the enormous sphere of light began to shake violently. The ocean formed from gathered golden light surged, and the barrier woven from forbidden techniques rippled fiercely as even greater power leaked out. The atomic shells formed by electromagnetic force—the interaction between charges that Earthlings called the Coulomb force—were crushed. In an instant, the atmosphere turned into plasma. The charged plasma hurtled head-on like supersonic waves; even a tiny amount could melt metal. To low-level cultivators, it was like molten iron to mortals. Wang Qi hurriedly spread his Protective Astral Qi. Tian Ge Xing and Tian Shang Jue activated in response, using electromagnetic force to twist the plasma's flow while Tian Shang Jue dissipated the excess heat.
But before him, a powerful force had already blocked everything. Feng Luoyi casually waved a hand, and the plasma obediently detoured around him like subjects avoiding an emperor.
Then an even fiercer eruption appeared. Vast quantities of spiritual power sprayed out. This was the beginning of negative entropy, the symbol of true yang, active power. Wang Qi vaguely had the illusion that he was about to break through. Under such an extreme environment, his body naturally absorbed enormous amounts of spiritual energy and refined it into mana in order to balance the forces within and without.
