Within Chaos, a blurry image condensed.
It was a space wrapped in Chaos, its edges suffused with an immensely dense aura of Chaos and distorted red halos.
Deep within the image, a tall, slender figure could vaguely be seen.
That figure was entwined by Chaos aura and twisted red light.
There was no need to calculate the exact time. Xu Changqing had witnessed it with his own eyes—this was the final moment of the Cosmic Tidal Surge's eruption.
In other words, Jun Wuhuo had originally been deep within the Sea of Chaos. Then, taking advantage of the Cosmic Tidal Surge's eruption, he had escaped from within.
Yet because his entire body was tangled in the Red-Clad Lord's power, which could distort cause and effect, he had been... erased by the Great Dao Venerable!
"Th-this... isn't this what you just said?"
"So it really was Senior Brother Jun!"
"It's over. Senior Brother Jun is already gone!"
At the sight of this, both Xu Changqing and Ji Chen's expressions sank.
Xu Changqing hesitated slightly before asking, "Should we continue?"
Ji Chen froze for a moment, then nodded forcefully. "Continue!"
Since things had come to this, he had to find out what had happened to the other person.
Xu Changqing moved the jade pendant away from the Creation Mirror and picked up a fragment of Yin Wuji's soul lamp instead.
The instant his fingertips touched the fragment, a feeling completely unlike the one from the jade pendant came from within it.
The feeling was impossible to describe, yet it even seemed strangely familiar!
Xu Changqing then placed the soul lamp fragment before the Creation Mirror and activated his origin energy once more.
This time, the mirror's reaction was entirely different.
The Chaos aura on its surface seemed to be torn open from within
