At this time, Li Feng suddenly heard Jiang Cheng's voice: "I know! Back away!"
What made Li Feng feel strange was that the voice did not ring in his ears, but seemed like Jiang Cheng was speaking in his consciousness. There was no reason. Li Feng was very sure that this was Jiang Cheng's voice and it was definitely not his imagination. Hearing this sentence, Li Feng knew that there was no point in moving forward, so he immediately stepped back. The black smoke is like tarsal maggots chasing after it, seemingly unwilling to give up the prey that is about to reach its mouth. The speed of the black smoke surrounding him on both sides increased, and even from the front, black smoke billowed toward Li Feng. Li Feng wanted to run, but he felt vaguely that it was too late to escape from the siege.
"Run!" The voice sounded again, urging Li Feng. The voice in his mind seemed to be more than just urging. The moment Li Feng heard the voice, his confidence arose spontaneously. He immediately stopped hesitating and rushed towards the place where the black smoke closed with all his strength. At this time, his only thought was to run quickly, and any bad results were no longer considered.
With only a few steps away, Li Feng had already rushed to the exit. The black smoke had not yet closed, but there was only less than three inches of distance left in the middle, making it impossible for anyone to pass. Li Feng did not stop. He had no way to stop at this time. He didn't even have time to think. His body was already carried forward by the inertia and crashed into the black smoke.
A ray of clear light flashed away, and Li Feng only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the next moment he had escaped from the black smoke. At this time, he had no time to think, and he didn't dare to stay. Instead, he quickened his pace and returned to the crowd.
As soon as he walked in front of everyone, Li Feng saw Jiang Cheng let out a long breath and sat down on the ground as if he was exhausted. At this time, Li Feng still didn't know what happened.
Jiang Cheng took a few breaths and said, "This... this is the ancient god summoning ceremony! We have all become sacrifices!"
"What?" Li Feng asked in disbelief, "How could we become sacrifices?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and did not answer, but patted Xu Dingjia on the back. A ray of clear light loomed, and entered Xu Dingjia's body through the contact between the two. Soon Xu Dingjia groaned and raised his head. Li Feng saw that Xu Dingjia's complexion improved significantly, and his originally red eyes also lost some of their color.
Not only Li Feng, but also Xu Dingjia was a little surprised and murmured: "What happened? How can you heal my injury?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't cure you. I just stabilized your scattered spirit. I didn't actually change your essence."
Although the other party's words were simple, only Xu Dingjia knew that this was not an easy task. He looked at Jiangcheng in disbelief and finally discovered the Qiming Star that was flickering on and off in his hand.
"Is it this ring?" Xu Dingjia asked, "The things that appear in the Book of Prophecy are indeed not mortal things. Can you already use it?"
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and recalled, "Just now when I was trying to sense the black smoke with my mind..."
"What!" Xu Dingjia screamed, "You actually used your mental power to directly touch the black smoke! No... how can you still be alive and still... so normal?"
"When the danger occurred, I realized that such behavior was too reckless." Jiang Cheng said with a bitter smile, "If it weren't for this ring, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed up by the black smoke and become the first sacrifice. But it was also that paragraph This thrilling experience allowed me to discover the nature of this altar and the black smoke!”
"What happened?" Xu Dingjia asked eagerly, because only by knowing what happened could he find a way to escape.
Time goes back to the moment when Jiangcheng was surrounded by black smoke. The Qiming Star gave off a faint clear light, penetrating into Jiang Cheng's spirit and barely resisting the black smoke's attack. But this alone was not enough for Jiang Cheng to escape from danger. The real turning point happened when Li Feng rushed towards the black smoke.
Because the appearance of another person diverted Hei Yan's attention, causing the original siege to loosen. Jiang Cheng felt the hope of escape and was about to withdraw his mental power, but suddenly felt that the clear light did not move.
The clear light was very weak and could hardly be seen clearly among the heavy black smoke, but it was such a weak light, but it showed unusual tenacity. As if it were eternal, surrounded by the highly corrosive black smoke, the clear light did not weaken at all, nor did it grow at all.
"Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" says: neither birth nor destruction, neither dirt nor purity, neither increase nor decrease.
Jiang Cheng suddenly had an idea, and for a moment, he seemed to see the connotation of the black smoke, the context hidden in a higher dimension. Although it was only for a moment, this scene made Jiang Cheng feel very familiar. Not long ago, he saw a similar scene in the mirror world. The black smoke, the pitch-black tentacles, the indescribable terror, and the veins connected to the distant time and space of higher dimensions, all combined together, led Jiang Cheng to come to a terrifying conclusion.
They were in the middle of the summoning ceremony of the ancient gods, and they themselves were the sacrifices of this evil ceremony!
Jiang Cheng didn't have time to be shocked, because he quickly noticed Li Feng who was about to touch the black smoke. Jiang Cheng knew very well what Li Feng wanted to do. He already knew the nature of the black smoke and could not let the other party die! But Jiang Cheng's consciousness was all in his mental power, and he couldn't control his body to speak. But just when he had the desire to communicate with Li Feng, Qingguang actually guided himself to connect with Li Feng's consciousness.
Jiang Cheng felt that this was not an ordinary spiritual connection, because the moment he connected with Li Feng's consciousness, he did not feel surprised, and even felt a little natural. After receiving the warning, Li Feng did not hesitate at all. He naturally determined that the other party was Jiang Cheng and responded immediately.
And then, the most dangerous moment was when Li Feng passed through the narrow gap of black smoke.
Originally, the gap between the black smoke could no longer let Li Feng pass through, but the clear light still existed, giving Jiang Cheng the confidence and determination to escape. Just before Li Feng rushed into the gap, Jiang Cheng was determined to rely on Qingguang to confront Heiyan head-on. This move was quite dangerous, but in order to save Li Feng's life, he had no other choice.
The clear light seemed to be able to read Jiang Cheng's thoughts. At the moment when he made a decision, the clear light began to vibrate. The vibration frequency kept changing, and soon it resonated with Jiang Cheng's spirit. In this resonance, Jiang Cheng had an illusion of ascent, not an ascent in space, but a sense of ascent that broke through dimensions.
Or, you can call it - ascension.
