Luo Ping and Can Wuming's emotions were the exact opposite. When he saw that Huo Qing had withstood the power of the flame, he was slightly relieved. However, in a short period of time, Huo Qing's body underwent another change, causing his expression to become serious again.
The originally small flame on Huo Qing's body suddenly rose up and became a vigorous flame, completely enveloping Huo Qing's figure.
At the same time, the Demonic Stone was like a torrential rain. The red light had become extremely dense and turned into a stream of rain that poured onto Huo Qing's body.
Under the pouring of the red rain, Huo Qing's body was like adding oil to the fire. The originally vigorous flame danced with a sizzling sound, forming a huge sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, Huo Qing's figure could no longer be seen clearly. Luo Ping and the rest could only see the continuous pouring of the red rain. If it weren't for the fact that they could still feel Huo Qing's aura, they might have thought that Huo Qing had already perished in the sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, Huo Qing's condition was very bad. His entire body had become extremely black. Although it wasn't to the extent of being burned, once he couldn't withstand the continuous attack of the flame, it was only a matter of time before his body was completely destroyed.
What's more, even his Demon Infant wouldn't be able to escape. In the end, it would only be reduced to ashes. At this moment, the surrounding space had been completely sealed by the power released by the Demonic Stone. Even if he wanted to give up on the process of the Demonic Light Infusion, it would be very difficult for him to leave.
In fact, even if the space wasn't sealed, Huo Qing wouldn't give up on the Demonic Light Infusion. After all, this was the dream of all the members of the Demons sect. Since he had obtained it, he had to persevere.
With a thought, Huo Qing's body released a surge of Sword Intent. This Sword Intent turned into a defensive boundary, replacing the previous layer of murderous aura and firmly protecting his body.
Under the protection of the Sword Intent's defensive boundary, although it couldn't completely withstand the invasion of the sea of fire, it greatly reduced the damage of the flame to his body.
At the same time, Huo Qing activated the ten thousand strands of Ghost Ice that had been completely refined in his body. In an instant, they merged into his meridians. Relying on the tenacity of his tendons, they supported the normal operation of his meridians, preventing them from being completely burned by the flame.
Moreover, the Ghost Ice's body's extremely cold Qi shuttled through his body, resisting the Fire's Sword Intent's body, from the inside his body to the outside for the Demonic Light Infusion of Sword, forming two indestructible barriers.
Under such a defense, Huo Qing felt the pain he had to endure lessen a little. Although it prevented his body from collapsing and prevented him from being burned by the flame, he still had to endure the red light that was constantly pouring into his body with all his strength.
Previously, when the red light slowly seeped into his body, it didn't have much impact. But now, the red light was pouring in like a storm. It was a serious test for his meridians.
As a large amount of red light shuttled through Huo Qing's meridians and acupoints, it was like a mouse forcibly burrowing a hole. Not only were his meridians and acupoints about to burst, but it also brought him great pain. The pain was no less than the pain of being burned.
Under such circumstances, Huo Qing could only endure it secretly. After all, this was a test for his body. He could defend against the flame, but he couldn't continue to defend against the impact of the red light.
Only through the transformation of the red light could his body become stronger. Under Huo Qing's strenuous efforts, his meridians and acupoints persisted for a long time before they finally couldn't hold on any longer and burst open one after another.
Fortunately, with the help of the Ghost Ice, his meridians didn't break to the point where they were out of control. At the same time that his meridians and acupoints burst open, Huo Qing immediately used the tendons in the Ghost Ice to connect the broken meridians together and repair the exploded acupoints.
Under such continuous bursting and repair, Huo Qing's meridians and acupoints gradually became stronger. Coupled with the need to resist the burning power of the Fire, the toughness of his meridians and acupoints had increased by nearly ten times compared to before.
Even though Huo Qing had personally experienced such a terrifying rate of improvement, he still found it rather hard to believe. However, when he sensed that his body was no longer in as much pain from the sea of fire as before, he completely accepted the truth.
Fifteen minutes later, Huo Qing successfully fended off the threat of the sea of fire with the help of the powerful Decimation Sword Intent that he had refined in the Slaughter Cave and the strands of Ghost Ice. He no longer felt the power of the fire at all.
Huo Qing's meridians and acupoints no longer burst open. Instead, they became abnormally tough and wide. Even without the protection of the Ghost Ice, he could still resist the burning of the Fire.
At this moment, all the flames around Huo Qing immediately stopped leaping and dancing. They became extremely docile and actually retreated from Huo Qing, forming a circular barrier of fire around him.
As for the rain of red light from the Empyrean Demonic Stones, it continued. However, the rain of red light landed on the barrier of fire, gradually increasing its power.
Huo Qing was rather puzzled by this. He had originally thought that the infusion of the demonic light had ended, but he had never thought that it would continue. He had no idea what was going to happen next, so he became even more uneasy and worried.
The process from before was already so painful. Perhaps it would be even more unbearable in the future. Huo Qing could only take deep breaths and cheer himself on.
In the distance, Luo Ping and the others all watched without blinking. At this moment, even Feng Yiming had finished healing and joined the group of spectators.
However, he didn't know what was going on because after he finished healing, he saw that Luo Ping and the others were all in a state of concentration.
He asked several times, but he didn't get an answer. Because he blocked the line of sight of several magical beasts, he was mercilessly pushed away by them.
Feng Yiming, who didn't know what was going on, could only join the group of spectators. Although he didn't know what was going on, the scene in the distance still shocked him.
When the flames around Huo Qing's body retreated, everyone was like Huo Qing. They thought that the infusion of the demonic light was about to end. However, when they saw that the Empyrean Demonic Stones were still raining down red light, everyone's spirits were lifted once again.
As the rain of red light fell, the power of the Barrier of Fire below had reached an extremely terrifying level. Even Can Wuming and the others, who were far away, could feel the palpitations brought about by this power.
Looking from the outside, the Barrier of Fire looked like a round sphere, and Huo Qing was standing in the center of the sphere. What was strange was that Huo Qing's expression was as usual. He wasn't suppressed by the Barrier of Fire's power at all.
"Strange, why did the flames completely lose their power?"
Huo Qing was puzzled. He couldn't feel any power from within the Barrier of Fire. If it wasn't for the fact that he could see that the Barrier of Fire was right beside him, he would've thought that the Barrier of Fire had disappeared.
Just as he was puzzled, another change occurred. A thick red pillar of light came down from the Empyrean Demonic Stones. It connected with the Barrier of Fire below, and the two formed a perfect whole.
At the same time, the power of the Barrier of Fire was released all at once. It rushed towards Huo Qing's body. Feeling this change, Huo Qing's face suddenly turned pale. Once this terrifying power entered his body, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Even if his body had been strengthened before, it wouldn't be enough to withstand the invasion of this power. Huo Qing made a prompt decision. With a thought, he once again tried to release the powerful Slaughter Sword Intent.
However, he didn't succeed this time. The moment the Barrier of Fire's power was released, it sealed up all of Huo Qing's power.
Huo Qing was still a step too slow. He no longer had the ability to stop the invasion of the power. He could only watch as the power swallowed him up.
Outside the Barrier of Fire, Luo Ping and the others could feel an extremely powerful presence being released from the barrier, but they couldn't see what was going on inside.
This was because the moment the red pillar of light from the Empyrean Demonic Stones came into contact with the Barrier of Fire, the entire Barrier of Fire became completely red. It completely blocked everyone's vision.
Luo Ping had a bad feeling when he sensed how powerful the power within the Barrier of Fire was. However, he couldn't interfere so easily. If he did, he might ruin Huo Qing's process of forging the Empyrean Demonic Body.
"Whether or not you can last until the end will depend on your fortune," thought Jian Chen.
Right now, Huo Qing could only rely on his own strength to survive this crisis and last until the end.
Can Wuming and the others smiled again. After all, the power within the Barrier of Fire this time was much stronger than before. In their opinion, Huo Qing wouldn't be able to withstand it.
At this moment, seeing that everyone's attitude had changed, Feng Yiming began to ask what was going on. Therefore, Luo Ping told Feng Yiming about the situation here. When the latter heard this, he was extremely shocked.
"So, I also have a chance to try?"
Feng Yiming asked excitedly.
"You can't because you don't have the body of the Demons sect. You don't have a trace of demonic yuan in your body. It's impossible for you to activate the Empyrean Demonic Stone."
Without waiting for Luo Ping to speak, Xiao Zhi interrupted. Even though she was a demonic beast, she was very clear about this.
Feng Yiming looked at Luo Ping in disbelief after hearing this. Luo Ping nodded and agreed with Xiao Zhi. At this moment, Feng Yiming completely gave up on the idea.
"Nothing can be forced. As long as Brother Luo can accept the demonic light and forge the Empyrean Demonic Body, I will be very happy."
Feng Yiming said from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't have the opportunity, he still hoped that Luo Ping could successfully forge the Empyrean Demonic Body.
"This kind of thing can't be done just because I want to. I can only let nature take its course."
