The instant Shi Feng clicked to remove the curse, the crystal hand bone suddenly bloomed with violet-gold radiance, illuminating the entire room.
The density of magic power in the surroundings began gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"So powerful! Is this truly the power of the Sage's Hand?" As Shi Feng watched mist-like magic power form around him, his mind became clearer than ever, giving him the illusion that he could do anything.
As the mist-like magic power gradually condensed into liquid form, it quickly formed a sphere of magical water before Shi Feng.
An image appeared within the sphere.
The image showed a world shrouded in flames. Heavy black clouds covered the sky, while the burning fire caused the air to erupt from time to time. At its center flowed rivers of lava, all blazing white and giving off white flames so hot that even space itself seemed distorted.
Yet, vaguely visible within those white flames stood an enormous gate towering at the center.
A huge crimson figure also moved within the white flames, holding a trident. The scorching flames around it seemed entirely subdued by that trident.
The image abruptly vanished after lasting for a minute, and the room gradually returned to normal. Only the Sage's Hand remained quietly suspended in midair, now bearing several inscribed Divine Scripts.
The attributes displayed by the Sage's Hand had also changed considerably.
Cursed Sage's Hand, Legendary Item. Because its creator's final wish had not been fulfilled, the creator's spirit had attached itself to the item after death, causing the Sage's Hand to be cursed and lose all its power. Only by removing the curse could its original abilities be restored. Because the Soul-Melding Flower had been offered, it received the guidance of a soul, weakening the curse somewhat.
