Li Qingyue's heart pounded with dread.
Those flames were far too terrifying.
Countless flames intertwined, forming Dao patterns, each like a world of fire cycling through birth and destruction, gathering into a saint tree.
Like a living being, it rooted itself in the nothingness of heaven and earth, eternal and undying.
Even more, it resembled an Immortal looking down upon the ages.
Not only could it burn divine power, it could scorch consciousness and the soul, as though capable of destroying all things.
Even with the system's power of Dao transformation, she could not approach it.
This exceeded anything she had imagined.
For a time, she did not even know where to begin comprehending it.
Without approaching the Flame Saint Tree, she could not perceive the Dao principles within it.
Naturally, she could not draw any closer, either.
Her hope of using the Fire Domain to forge an immortal gold treasure seemed to have become an illusion as well.
"I must forge an immortal gold treasure!"
Sensing all this, Li Qingyue gritted her teeth slightly. Her will shone with brilliant divine radiance as she continued approaching the Flame Saint Tree.
Yet no matter how hard she tried, her will, which had undergone several transformations, still could not draw near.
The moment it approached, it was melted into nothingness.
It was far too terrifying.
After only a moment, she could already feel weakness setting in.
Her will had been drained so heavily that she felt drowsy, as though she were about to fall asleep.
"Without an immortal gold treasure to protect me, the road ahead is all but severed!"
"I cannot give up!"
Her stubbornness ran to the bone, leaving Li Qingyue without the slightest thought of admitting defeat.
"Since I cannot comprehend it directly, I'll comprehend it layer by layer!"
