Chapter 1077: Chapter 162: Heaven and Earth Phenomena Create Two Extremes (4th Update)

The man’s eyes were wide and bulging, almost ready to pop out.

On his face was an expression of death’s disbelief, and on his back, Mu Qingge had stomped a dent into it. His previous pride, arrogance, and plans for revenge against Mu Qingge had all vanished.

The surrounding people were stunned.

None of them had expected Mu Qingge to actually kill the man just like that.

Just when they thought the man’s death would anger the Abnormal Fire, threatening to bury everyone here, the blistering heat suddenly subsided, and the aura of the Abnormal Fire rapidly retreated.

"Yuanyuan!" Mu Qingge immediately called out upon sensing the change.

"Received!" Yuanyuan responded, discerning the departure of the Abnormal Fire and reporting to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, and she immediately rushed forward.

She was puzzled, and Tong Teng and the others found it difficult to keep up. Yin Chen followed closely behind Mu Qingge, leaving Qian Shui and Tong Teng on the spot.

"Boss—! Wait for me!" Tong Teng shouted anxiously.

Just as he was about to chase after Mu Qingge, Qian Shui held him back.

Tong Teng turned his gaze, looking at Qian Shui with confusion, seemingly asking why he was stopped. Qian Shui shook his head slowly, explaining to him, "We need to stay here to prevent these people from plotting anything."

"But my boss..." Tong Teng understood Qian Shui’s reminder but was still worried about his boss’s safety, his eyes full of concern.

Qian Shui said, "Don’t worry, with Yin Chen following, your boss won’t be in any trouble."

...

Mu Qingge’s red robe fluttered like a flying flame as she leaped forward. The silver light transformed by Yin Chen followed closely, without a hint of slack.

The two ventured farther, gradually deviating from the nameless land.

Passing through a small grove, Mu Qingge stopped.

Before her appeared a somewhat peculiar scene.

She paused, and naturally, Yin Chen stopped as well.

"Yuanyuan, are you sure it’s here?" Mu Qingge stood in place, her gaze circled, asking internally.

Suddenly, a golden-silver light shot out from her brow, landing in front of the two.

The Linglong Spear transformed into Yuanyuan, appearing before Mu Qingge and Yin Chen.

"Boss, it’s right here," Yuanyuan affirmed upon appearing.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, searching again with her eyes.

Yuanyuan confidently said, "Though I’m not an Abnormal Fire now, I used to be. I will never forget the taste of the Abnormal Fire."

Indeed, Yuanyuan’s perception of the Abnormal Fire hadn’t changed despite the difference in identity, something even she with her Fire Spirit Root couldn’t match.

Yuanyuan stood in place, carefully sensing the existence of the Abnormal Fire.

Mu Qingge was not idle either; while using her Divine Sense to search for Abnormal Fire waves, she observed the uncanny scene before her.

A sea of grass stretched before her.

However, one half thrived with vitality, while the other withered and lifeless.

This wasn’t just a feeling; it was real.

The vibrant half was lush and luxuriant, while the lifeless half had grass in gray-white, curling in decay.

Mu Qingge was puzzled as to why the same piece of land exhibited two distinct phenomena.

Moreover, she had a feeling that this phenomenon was related to the Abnormal Fire.

"Yuanyuan, have you heard of any Abnormal Fire that causes such phenomena?" Mu Qingge suddenly asked Yuanyuan, pointing towards the eerie grassland.

Yuanyuan looked at the grassland, his beautiful brows furrowing.

After a long look, Yuanyuan shook his head, saying, "I’m not sure."

Yuanyuan’s answer left Mu Qingge a bit disappointed. Yet, she thought it over, realizing that Yuanyuan had been with her since birth, interacting with the Abnormal Fire only for absorbing them, so not knowing every ability of the Abnormal Fires was understandable.

"Don’t worry, maybe I’m overthinking," Mu Qingge saw Yuanyuan’s frustrated look and offered comfort.

Just as her words fell, the sky suddenly darkened.

The sudden darkening was abrupt, prompting Mu Qingge, Yin Chen, and Yuanyuan to look up.

"It was clear daylight just now; why did it suddenly turn dark?" Yin Chen frowned, vigilant against ambush or traps.

The anomaly not only startled Mu Qingge’s trio but also shocked those in the Treasure Basin, their eyes wide at the sudden dark sky.

Qian Shui and Tong Teng stared up at the sky, puzzled.

Other people, however, showed even more terror after the sky darkened and fled quickly.

"Hey...!" Tong Teng tried to call out to them, but as soon as he spoke, they ran faster.

Tong Teng baffledly watched them, asking Qian Shui, "What’s up with them? It’s just the sky suddenly turned black, why run so fast, as if the sky is falling."

Qian Shui shook his head, his gaze solemn, saying, "Something’s wrong. They often move around here, familiar with the situation. If they’re fleeing scared, it must be extremely dangerous."

"What about boss and them?" Tong Teng’s face changed and asked.

Qian Shui said gravely, "Let’s go, we need to find them."

The sudden change forced them to leave the subdued ones, rushing towards where Mu Qingge and Yin Chen left.

...

On the other side, Mu Qingge’s trio stood outside the eerie grassland, drawn by the abrupt dark sky.

They didn’t feel anything wrong, just that the darkening was peculiar, and didn’t sense danger.

Yin Chen, part of the Beast Clan, had an equally sensitive perception, especially for danger, it’s an innate instinct.

Yet, even with heightened alertness, he found nothing amiss, confirming no current threat.

Boom—!

Suddenly, thunder echoed in the sky.

Mu Qingge’s eyes widened, hearing the thunder without seeing lightning.

"There’s something up there!" Yin Chen pointed at the sky.

Mu Qingge squinted, looking at the swirling gray-black clouds, indeed seeing something moving within.

It seemed the clouds darkened because of the disturbance.

"I felt the Abnormal Fire’s aura again," Yuanyuan suddenly said.

By now, Yuanyuan’s reminder was unnecessary, as Mu Qingge sensed the intense aura of the Abnormal Fire herself. Additionally, she could feel its source was behind the clouds above.

Boom—!

Another thunder sounded, but after it ceased, the eerie grassland before them suddenly burst into flames, black and white.

"Yin-Yang two elements..." Mu Qingge gazed at the flames, murmuring.
