Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and looked away from the flame, which was still burning.
Although the Sky-devouring Elder's body had turned into ashes and would not rise again, the fire did not go out as it kept burning. Ou Yangming stared at it for a long time but could not find the fire's fuel.
Nonetheless, he now knew these secret techniques were mysterious and unpredictable. In particular, the imperceptible flame could not be treated lightly.
Ou Yangming pondered for some time before he bowed sternly at the fire and expressed with respect, "Thanks for the help, senior."
He was not a fool, so he knew someone had secretly helped him when he exchanged blows with the elder earlier.
The elder was depleted of essential Qi in the end, so much so that he could not generate interspatial shields anymore and was forced to escape by activating his mental power. This was exactly the reason Ou Yangming had the opportunity to trap him right away.
