Chen Xuan was naturally consuming a massive amount of mana to maintain his Lightning Arc Protective Flame. However, the Bone-Melting Heart-Corroding Demonic Flame consumed mana far more rapidly than the Lightning Arc Protective Flame, even for a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. Although Qu Feishang was at the peak of the Golden Core stage and possessed a slightly deeper pool of mana than Chen Xuan, his complexion was gradually turning pale—a sign that he was nearing his limit.
Meanwhile, the two people fighting amidst the sea of clouds heard a sudden commotion erupt at the edge of the cliff. This was immediately followed by shouting, the clashing of dharma artifacts, and the explosive sounds of various spells. It seemed as if the cultivators on both sides had suddenly engaged in battle. From the intensity of the clashing and the chaotic voices, Chen Xuan quickly discerned that a group of demonic cultivators had appeared and launched a direct attack on Song Chi and the other righteous cultivators from the Southwest.
The situation turned dire in an instant. A cold light flashed in Chen Xuan’s eyes; he needed to end his battle with Qu Feishang immediately. As luck would have it, Qu Feishang’s mana was reaching its breaking point, and he could barely control the Bone-Melting Heart-Corroding Demonic Flame. Fear finally appeared on his face, yet Chen Xuan’s "Blazing Marrow-Burning Blade Qi" continued to strike wave after wave, forcing him to engage.
