Like ink dripping into water, the Great Chaos continuously spread through the Desire Crocodile's divine nature, immediately triggering violent fluctuations. Its outward form underwent all manner of transformations; this was the result of its divine nature being disturbed.
Jin Zhixing could clearly sense emotions akin to resistance and terror emanating from this foreign god, which was also trying to tear away its tainted divine nature.
Because the Great Chaos had not been actively absorbed by this foreign god, if it were given enough opportunity, it might well be able to expel it.
But Jin Zhixing had been waiting for precisely such an opportunity. How could he let this foreign god break free so easily? Thus, atop the Heartlight Seal he had originally pressed forward, he urged forth another layer, while intermittently bombarding it with divine powers and Daoist arts, giving it no chance at all to reconcile itself.
After resisting for a while, the Desire Crocodile seemed to realize that it could neither escape nor shake off the Great Chaos's contamination. It then made a startling move.

It had judged correctly: the Great Chaos had been lured into the world by these lifefires, so the lifefires should be the only thing capable of resisting the Great Chaos.
Yet these smoke-and-fire manifestations, as though painted in ink, were no harmless things. They possessed the power to scorch divine nature and dissolve all things. Even so, this deity persisted in doing so, making it seem as though it was willingly seeking death.
Jin Zhixing knew this foreign god would not do anything pointless. His expression grew slightly grave as he reminded, "Fellow Daoist Ying?"
