"Fire Virtue Star Lord, do you have any Strange Black Mist left here?" Li Qingshan suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Fire Virtue Star Lord nodded at once.
He beckoned, and a Crimson Jade Bottle sealed beneath Ninefold Star Runes flew over from the distance.
"Over the years, Strange Black Mist from the Heavenly Ruins has invaded the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Palace several times. I suppressed it with the Heaven-Refining Gourd and kept some, intending to study the power within it."
"But the Strange Black Mist is too dangerous. Even a single wisp can corrode an Immortal King's Primordial Spirit. I studied it for countless years without learning a thing."
As he spoke, Fire Virtue Star Lord carefully undid the outermost seal on the Crimson Jade Bottle.
Hiss!
A wisp of black mist, thin as a strand of hair, slowly slipped from the bottle's mouth.
Wherever it passed, immortal energy withered and the void decayed. Even the starlight that filled the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Palace took on a deathly gray hue.
Chu Yingluo's gaze sharpened. The Heaven-Burying Sword was already in her hand, and her eyes were full of vigilance.
She was no stranger to this strange power.
When Li Qingshan had faced his Immortal King Tribulation, this very Strange Black Mist had descended from the depths of chaos, seeking to corrupt his Chaos Dao Fruit completely.
"Go!"
Li Qingshan flicked a finger, sending the Chaos Heaven-Refining Divine Fire drifting from his palm.
When the crimson-gold flame met the Strange Black Mist, no earth-shaking collision followed.
Sizzle!
There was only a faint sound. The wisp of Strange Black Mist, enough to make Immortal Kings blanch at its mention, vanished in an instant like snow beneath a blazing sun.
No!
It had not vanished. It had been refined!
The most evil and uncanny power
