In the blink of an eye, the two had already collided, and the power of the Shadow Control was seemingly beyond Li Rui's expectations. The two flames continued to bite at each other, and for some reason, the black flame seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, Li Rui was overjoyed. Little did they know that in that brief moment, a surge of madness erupted.
"Black Flame? What is happening?" Li Rui murmured.
Unbeknownst to him, with a loud roar, the red flames that spread throughout the entire Mica Stone were completely devoured by the black flames! This scene was truly spectacular.
Li Rui instinctively swallowed his saliva, never having imagined such a turn of events.
Suddenly, the black flame let out a deafening roar and charged towards Li Rui.
Even the latter didn't know what was happening; it was simply a life-or-death rhythm.
One zhang, five meters... one meter. Li Rui thought that this mass of black flame would completely engulf him.
Then suddenly! A mighty roar erupted from his Dantian, leaving Li Rui stunned once again.
His mouth unexpectedly expanded dozens of times and directly swallowed the entire mass of black flame into his abdomen. At that moment, his Dantian felt a wave of heat!
As if that wasn't enough, his body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had done something extremely reckless. Even Li Rui himself couldn't comprehend what was happening.
The black flame had already vanished within the Mica Sea. Li Rui held his breath and stepped back! Unbeknownst to him, something in his stomach seemed to be going wild, as if it could break through his navel at any second.
At this moment, Li Rui was incredibly frustrated and had no idea what to do. All he could do was wait and endure.
The latter hugged his stomach, gathering energy in his Dantian. It seemed as though the meridians in his body had been nearly burned out by this black flame. To compensate for this situation, Li Rui continuously gathered True Qi into his Spiritual Nexus; if he ran out of True Qi, everything would be over.
As he pondered what methods he could use, it suddenly seemed like he discovered something.
"That Nameless Technique... could it be..."
Li Rui had placed all his hopes on the Nameless Technique he obtained during his first entry into Shouyang Mountain. He dared not expect much from it but knew he had to take a desperate gamble!
"With the wind in mind, with the wind in breath..." Li Rui recited the so-called mental method repeatedly. However, its effects were minimal. He understood that he had to persevere; otherwise, he would be the only one to die.
At this moment, he appeared completely shattered, his bald head shining under the light, and his dark face was twisted in agony, completely unaware of what would happen next.
Li Rui did not know how much time had passed; he only knew that he was holding on for his life, uncertain if he would survive... but he was aware that there was a glimmer of hope for him to continue living.
Just like that, one, two... Li Rui had not closed his eyes! On the tenth night, the impact of the black flames seemed to weaken slightly, which made him incredibly happy. Could this really be happening?
Li Rui repeatedly held onto his Dantian, hoping to feel more comfortable, but he did not realize that the sudden chill was now accompanied by a surge of heat raging within him, leaving him feeling extremely frustrated and hungry.
Sometimes he was drenched in sweat, other times his lips turned purple from the cold. At this moment, Li Rui wanted nothing more than to escape this unbearable sensation, yet he felt utterly powerless.
Li Rui felt so exhausted in his current state! He had to seek revenge, protect those he wanted to safeguard, and... suddenly he felt that he was living more painfully than anyone else.
Deep within his heart, it seemed there was a voice telling him: "If you're tired, take a break! When you wake up, everything will be fine." But was that really true? Li Rui understood that once he closed his eyes...
"Sleep! Everything will be fine; just leave it to others..."
At this moment, it seemed as if Li Rui wanted to close his eyes. They fluttered for a moment before finally shutting completely and not opening again. However, at that instant, it seemed he thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes wide!
"I can't die; I still have so much to do! They are all waiting for me!"
With a desperate roar, Li Rui disregarded everything else and aimed to quickly swallow the mass of black flames into his Dantian for his own use.
Faced with this intense momentum, the black flames suddenly shrank back as if they had never anticipated such an outcome.
During this time, Li Rui seized the opportunity to extract all the True Qi hidden in his Spiritual Nexus, Door Aperture, Yang Aperture, and Yin Aperture.
He directly repaired his meridians! The black flames seemed to sense something and attempted to compensate but found themselves powerless to do so.
Time passed slowly; even Li Rui did not know what had happened. When he next woke up, he discovered that the entire mass of black flames had been digested by him.
Moreover, his strength had surged directly from True Eight Layers to Transformation. If he were to step outside now, many would be left speechless; it would completely refresh their understanding of martial arts—how could this be possible?
Yet they had not considered how Li Rui had undergone such a transformation; wanting to die would lead him to become mere flames. To live meant battling against this mass of black flames; its power could not simply be measured by strength.
"Could this be the end?" Li Rui murmured.
No, no, no, the real show is just beginning! As the black flames dissipated, something else emerged from the Mica Sea, and it was certainly not just anything.
"Warrior, come here!" It was a voice.
Li Rui frowned slightly; what was this nonsense?
The voice seemed to be calling out to him, could there really be such a strange occurrence?
Li Rui felt a bit conflicted inside, should he go or not? But since things had already come to this point, he had no choice but to proceed!
He then searched for the direction of the voice, which was getting louder and louder with each "Warrior, come here!" Li Rui instinctively swallowed his saliva, never expecting such a situation.
It really was...
He didn't know how much time had passed when a red glow gradually appeared before Li Rui; this must be the direction he was being called to!
