After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 122 The Divine Fire of the Black God
"In that case, let's begin."

As Xiao Ru spoke, she used the tip of her sword to pry open the box.

The box was made of some unknown material, with a metallic sheen, and looked very heavy.

After the box was unlocked, with a click, the wisp of spiritual fire inside was revealed.

In everyone's mind, spirit fire is red or yellow, and there is also blue spirit fire. The most special kind is a white spirit fire with a chilling aura, which is almost invisible.

However, the spiritual fire here is black.

It was as black as ink, like a thick fog rolling around, giving off an ominous feeling.

Some people's first reaction was, "Is the Yue family bluffing them?"

How could this be spirit fire!
But soon, a wave of unbearable heat slowly emerged, giving everyone the feeling of being in an alchemy room.

Now no one doubted that it was a spirit fire. Although it was only a small wisp, it was moving, the flames were rolling, and its heat was slowly engulfing the entire room.

"Why... is it black?"

"There's even black spirit fire?"

"What a cool spirit fire... I must get it!"

"I've heard that the more unique the color, the stronger the power of the spirit fire. This spirit fire must be extraordinary!"

After everyone realized what was happening, they all became excited.

This is genuine spiritual fire, and just by looking at its color, you can tell it's extraordinary and incredibly powerful!

"Please don't be impatient, everyone. Let's wait and see."

Xiao Ru seemed to smile, and then threw the prepared items one by one into the spirit fire.

There were swords, ores, magical artifacts, and a withered giant tree trunk that would take ten days and ten nights of ordinary fire to even show a slight sign of melting.

But all of these things, upon touching the spiritual fire, were either instantly burned away or visibly melted.

Even the withered giant tree was slowly melting away; though slow, it was truly melting.

"Heavens, it really is a spirit fire!"

"What a powerful spiritual fire! The Qi family's Myriad Jade Spiritual Fire is nothing compared to it."

"That's a giant, dead tree! My God, how could it burn so quickly?"

"I must have it, it's mine... I want to be the first one!" One of the male cultivators finally couldn't bear it any longer. His eyes burned with an excitement that was even more intense and fiery than the spiritual fire. "Let me have it!"

Having already proven the power of the spirit fire, Xiao Ruo didn't waste anyone's time any longer. She took a few steps back and gestured for them to come forward. "Alright, everyone, come one by one. Anyone who wants to try can go up on stage. I won't be polite to anyone who makes a fuss, grabs things, or wastes time."

As she spoke, she had already drawn her sword, standing to the side with a cold face, waiting for anyone who broke the rules to come over so she could kill them with a single stroke.

The excited male cultivator was the first to go up. Once up, he excitedly reached out and touched it, chanting, "Spirit Fire, quickly acknowledge me as your master, I—ah!"

Suddenly he screamed, his face changing drastically as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.

Then, before anyone could react, he collapsed to the ground.

"What's going on?" "Why isn't there any fire?"

"You're going to die now?"

As everyone stared in disbelief, a wisp of black flame slowly spread across his entire body, and soon his figure disappeared.

And the aroma of burnt meat slowly wafted out.

The first person suffered a crushing defeat, and in such an incomprehensible way that it dampened the enthusiasm of many, cooled them down from their excitement, and brought them back to their senses.

"What happened? That person's hand didn't even touch the spirit fire, so how did he suddenly collapse?" Du Yue asked, puzzled. "And why did he only catch fire after he collapsed?"

No one could understand this problem, including Liu Feng.

They came from the Immortal Sect; though they didn't want to admit it, it was indeed the case.

They hadn't seen many things, especially spiritual fire, which was something far removed from them. This was, in fact, the first time they had ever seen it up close.

Unlike disciples from prominent families or major sects, who might have already seen one or two kinds of spiritual flames and have some understanding of them.

Because this is the most special kind of divine fire.

The word "god" here doesn't refer to its divine nature, but rather to the fact that its initial attack on approaching cultivators isn't external fire, but rather its internal divine consciousness.

[If you approach its range and harbor evil thoughts towards it, it will trigger its spiritual attack; you will die even without touching it.]

[This person's consciousness was attacked first, causing their mind to die first, and their body was burned only afterward.]

If one couldn't feel the intense heat of the Black God's Fire, one might not even realize it was fire.

It was pitch black, like ink or mist, like poisonous smoke.

But in fact, its most powerful attack is on the divine sense. Not to mention the cultivators who are generally at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage, even some powerful beings may fall for it!

The members of the Immortal Sect couldn't help but change their expressions, exchanging a knowing glance.

This is truly such a powerful spiritual fire!

Before this, they had been thinking about Mo Jiuwei's words. Because they knew it was a trap, Liu Feng and the others wondered if the matter of the spirit fire was a hoax and that the Yue family had only brought them here for some other reason.

Even though they had thrown a lot of things into the spirit fire and burned them, they were still wondering if it was some kind of illusion.

Only then did they confirm from Mo Jiuwei's words that this thing was indeed a spirit fire, and a super powerful and special one at that—the Black God Spirit Fire!
So, the Yue family really does possess a spirit fire, and they've even generously shared it with so many people to try it out?

But why did they do that? The young master's injury was clearly a lie, so why did they hand over the spirit fire so easily?
Liu Feng's gaze swept across the stage. The woman named Xiao Ru had witnessed the male cultivator's death, but remained unmoved, not even raising an eyebrow.

She was naturally not surprised by this, because long ago, after using her sword to pry open the box and reveal the spirit fire, she had quietly retreated, cleverly maintaining a distance from the spirit fire.

This is probably the safe distance. Only outside this distance will you avoid angering the spirit fire and being attacked by it.

Liu Feng then looked at the couch behind Xiao Ruo. The man was still acting, looking half-dead, while the maid was still sitting by the couch, looking at him with concern.

But...that's not right!
Even though someone had died right in front of them, the two of them remained completely unmoved. In fact, the maid even frowned, looking somewhat disgusted!

Liu Feng couldn't help but think about a question—

If it's fake, then why are these two people on stage instead of staying far away?
