C1029 The Palace Change

After a few struggles, the Earth Heart Spirit Flame seemed to know that it couldn't break free. It had no choice but to give up resisting and let the seals merge into it. Its flames immediately dimmed. The heat and power that it released immediately withdrew, and following Du Qi's soft call... It condensed into a flame the size of a thumb and slowly floated onto Du Qi's palm.

Looking at the little flame that was floating above his palm and emitting a blue light, Du Qi could not help but be wild with joy. He suddenly felt the pressure around him disappear. The heat energy melted. He hurriedly turned around and stood up. With a thought, he wanted to put the Earth Heart Spirit Flame into his Dantian.

"Boom!" Du Qi's thought had just moved when a strange change occurred. The Earth Heart Spirit Flame, which had already condensed into a small flame, suddenly let out a dull sound. It suddenly exploded, and the terrifying blue flame suddenly blazed. It instantly engulfed Du Qi. Du Qi's fear was still lingering in his heart. The blue flame drilled into Du Qi's body without any explanation and finally gathered in his Dantian. It condensed into a small blue flame and floated above the stalactite spirit stone.

The blue flame came from outside and gathered in his dantian. Although it was only for a moment, however, Du Qi felt as if several lifetimes had passed. Wherever the blue flame passed... His blood evaporated without any reservation. The true essence in his body immediately dissipated. Even the Nascent Soul in his dantian was not spared. Currently, Du Qi only had a trace of consciousness. He was now a piece of charcoal. It was imaginable how much pain he was suffering, but what made him feel the most pain was his current condition.

The Earth Heart Spirit Flame seemed to have sensed Du Qi's suffering, and it was extremely pleased with itself. It floated above the stalactite spirit stone and flashed. Violent heat and power filled its already withered dantian. The stalactite spirit stone seemed to be unable to endure the intense heat and pressure as it suddenly unleashed a wave of stalactite spirit marrow.

The moment this wave of stalactite spirit marrow was released, it was instantly vaporized by the terrifying high temperature emitted by the Earth Heart Spirit Flame, turning into a dense white fog that filled Du Qi's Dantian.

The Earth Heart Spirit Flame flashed once again, and the white fog suddenly exploded. The huge force caused Du Qi's body, which had turned into a charred piece, to tremble continuously. The energy contained within the white fog had forcefully broken through the restraints of Du Qi's Dantian. It violently surged to every part of his body.

Wherever this energy passed, the cells that had been burnt to ashes by the Earth Heart Spirit Flame immediately regained their vitality. Du Qi's body also recovered to its former state, and even the fur on the surface of his body gradually grew. It was just that he was currently covered by a layer of black substance, and Du Qi had yet to discover it.

The impact that it gave Du Qi at this moment did not make him feel any pain. Instead, he felt very satisfied. However, this was an experience of being reborn as soon as it was destroyed. It made him feel incredulous. The changes in his body also made him feel nervous and surprised.

What made Du Qi nervous was that he had absorbed and refined the stalactite spirit marrow qi earlier. He already had the ability to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It was just that he had deliberately suppressed his breakthrough. Later on, when he fought with the Earth Heart Spirit Flame, he used the Supreme Divine Dao to absorb a large amount of heat. It had made his strength even more solid, and was more than enough for his breakthrough. However, at this moment, he had completely recovered his strength. However, he discovered that his realm was actually showing signs of decline.

What surprised Du Qi was that the space in his meridians and dantian had actually expanded by two or three times, and had become even tougher. Obviously, it could accommodate more true essence, and the explosive force and endurance of true essence would also increase by many times.

Seeing the layer of black substance on the surface of his body, Du Qi was also a little surprised. When he had first absorbed and refined the stalactite spirit marrow qi, a large amount of waste had been discharged from his body. And now, after being tormented by the Earth Heart Spirit Flame, so many impurities had been expelled from his body. He did not know why there were so many impurities in his body, and how many impurities were left in his body.

At this moment, the Earth Heart Spirit Flame was quietly floating above the stalactite spirit stone. Du Qi could no longer feel the threatening heat. He only felt refreshed. His entire body was filled with energy. Obviously, refining the Earth Heart Spirit Flame had brought him great benefits.

Du Qi tidied up his incomparably joyful emotions and circulated his energy to remove the dirt on the surface of his body. When he discovered that his skin was sparkling and translucent, he couldn't help but admire it. Because he remembered Yuwen Qianmo's words that he had to leave immediately after subduing the Earth Heart Spirit Flame, he reluctantly took out a set of clothes from the Illusion Heaven Bracelet and put them on. He quickly tidied his hair, and just as he was about to turn around and look for Yuwen Qianmo, when he suddenly saw the stone table that the Earth Heart Spirit Flame resided in, he could not help but have a thought. He hurriedly circulated the Profound Arts, uprooted the stone table, and threw it into a cave in the dream-like world.

"Kacha!" Just as Du Qi pulled the stone table out, a loud sound was heard from the stone wall. Suddenly, a bottomless crack appeared, followed by a loud sound. The crack continued to expand and spread to both ends, creating new cracks around it. These cracks were as dense as spider webs, quickly spreading out in all directions. Then, more cracks appeared.

For a moment, the entire karst cave was filled with cracks, creating a rumbling sound. There were also countless amounts of sand and stalactite stones continuously falling from above, adding an even more shocking momentum. Du Qi could not help but be shocked when he saw this. He could only cry out in his heart, "Not good!" He hurriedly dodged and summoned the Waterdrop Sword at the same time, instantly arriving in front of Yuwen Qianmo.

If Yuwen Qianmo had known earlier that the Earth Heart Spirit Flame would be kept, this place would have collapsed. He had already noticed that something was amiss, but he had not seen Du Qi come. He did not dare to move at all, and could only stay where he was. However, he did not panic in his heart, because he was already prepared. Even if Du Qi did not have time to rescue him, his life would not be in danger. It was just that it would be troublesome to go out in the future.

Seeing Du Qi coming over on his sword, Yuwen Qianmo could not help but be overjoyed. He borrowed Du Qi's pulling force to jump onto the Waterdrop Sword.

Du Qi skillfully controlled the Waterdrop Sword. As he moved forward at a rapid speed, he dodged the falling rocks and dirt above his head. Even though he was busy, he did not forget to put the few stalactite Stones that were about to become spirits into his dream-like world.

As he was moving forward, Du Qi suddenly felt darkness in front of him. It was a huge, boundless rock. It was like a huge mountain pressing down on his head. Du Qi did not dare to be neglectful. He summoned the Flowing Cloud Blade without any hesitation and slashed with all his might. Who knew that this blade would not be able to split the huge rock apart? It only created a crack, but one could vaguely see the light from the sky outside.

Du Qi did not dare to stop for a moment. He hurriedly released his true essence and instantly formed a light barrier to protect Yuwen Qianmo and himself. After that, he controlled the Waterdrop Sword to fly out of the crack and float in the sky.

As soon as the Waterdrop Sword passed through the crack, the mountain suddenly collapsed with a loud rumbling sound. Rocks flew in all directions, and dust filled the sky.

Du Qi and Yuwen Qianmo lowered their heads to look. They saw a ten-miles-long deep gully in the middle of the dust fog. It looked like several mountains had been cut open by Du Qi's blade.
