Perhaps Lu Ning used the power of the evil god, because the dim yellow mist surging around the one-horned, one-eyed giant began to fluctuate strangely.

Amidst the violent fluctuations, the turbidity in the Cyclops's eyes also fluctuated wildly, and a glimmer of clarity seemed to flash within them.

However, the next moment, the dim yellow mist surged, and the corpse of the one-horned cyclops roared and howled, emanating a violent power from its body.

Saint Qinglan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly threw the one-horned, one-eyed giant away.

The one-horned, one-eyed giant was flying in mid-air when it suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

A violent surge of power erupted, and a dim yellow halo of light scattered in all directions.

Saint Qinglan frowned and immediately condensed layers of wind shields to block the dim yellow light waves.

The light wave struck the wind shield, and the wind shield dissipated layer by layer at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, An Lan immediately said, "Let's help!"

An Lan stepped forward, her armor shimmering with blue light, forming blue light shields that blocked everyone's path.

Gina then conjured a fire shield to defend herself.

As for Steve, Jerry, and Yang Yin, they are not awakened beings of energy or elemental types and do not possess similar abilities.

The light waves distorted and shattered a large portion of the light shield, eventually disappearing completely.

This shocked everyone.

Even as a saint, Qinglan Saint was unable to easily withstand this wave of light!

Gina exclaimed in horror, "That light wave just now seemed to have directly killed my energy. It was terrifying."

An Lan said calmly, "This must be the power of death. This wilderness... is probably related to death."

Saint Qinglan remained silent. Then he looked at Lu Ning, frowned, and asked, "Lu Ning, what power did you just use?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lu Ning, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

An Lan also asked, "That just now... seemed to be some kind of divine language?"

His eyes held a distant look as he slowly said, "A friend of mine studies creatures in the mist. He heard this sound, and later he fell ill."

Upon hearing this, Jerry and the others' expressions immediately changed.

Lu Ning said calmly, "Your friend must have heard the whispers of the evil god."

Everyone: Σ(っ°Д°；)っ

The air fell silent for a moment, then An Lan's lips twitched: "...Whispers of an evil god?"

Lu Ning nodded and said, "I just used the charm power of the Fallen Angel."

Even the Azure Mist Saint was somewhat unsettled this time, and the long-handled scythe he had used when facing the Blood Source clone appeared in his hand.

His aura suddenly surged, increasing several times over. He looked at Lu Ning with some wariness, frowning as he asked, "Fallen Angel... seems to be the evil god behind the Kingdom of Joy, right?"

An Lan's expression changed, and she asked with surprise and doubt, "I remember... Base City 116 was attacked by a God of Grace from the Kingdom of Joy more than a year ago? I remember that you were the one who turned the tide and handled the matter, right?"

The others looked at Lu Ning with some wariness.

The God-givers of Joyful Heaven attacked the base city. After Lu Ning turned the tide, he actually used the power of the evil god behind Joyful Heaven?!

Honestly, who wouldn't be alarmed by this?

Lu Ning did not react to the wariness of the crowd.

He calmly said, "That's right. I absorbed the spiritual pollution of that God's Grace, and then I was able to use a bit of the power of the Fallen Angel."

Jerry was filled with questions: "Huh? You can use the power of an evil god after absorbing the spiritual pollution of a God-giver?! Are you kidding me? The power of an evil god is that easy to use? And spiritual pollution is that easy to absorb?"

The others also looked incredulous.

However, An Lan and Qinglan Saintess exchanged a glance and saw a look of surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

After all, they knew Lu Ning's information.

Lu Ning does indeed possess the ability to absorb mental pollution.

Whether it was absorbing Li Mu's mental pollution at number 116, or absorbing Nan Yu and Eileen's mental pollution at number 121 later.

Lu Ning's ability is indeed correct.

But what they didn't know was...

Lu Ning can even absorb the mental pollution of evil gods, and can even gain the power of evil gods by absorbing their mental pollution!

If this is true, wouldn't that be terrifying?

Hearing Jerry and the others' doubts, the Sage Qinglan said, "Lu Ning does indeed have the ability to absorb mental pollution."

The air fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Jerry and the others stared wide-eyed at Lu Ning.

"If it's really possible... then if our mental pollution level gets too high, Lu Ning can absorb our mental pollution?" Steve murmured in shock.

An Lan nodded: "Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible. In fact, Nan Yu has been sucked by Lu Ning several times."

"Hiss..." Jerry and the other three gasped.

Gina smiled broadly and said, "Lu Ning! If my mental pollution gets too high, I'll be counting on you!"

"Brother Lu! Please accept my bow!" Jerry bowed deeply, his head almost touching the ground.

Seeing their expressions, Saint Qinglan was exasperated and said, "What are you doing? Be serious!"

Steve, who was about to imitate Jerry, froze and silently withdrew his action.

Qinglan Saint and Anlan looked at Lu Ning.

An Lan frowned and asked, "Lu Ning, according to our investigation, the spiritual pollution within a Divine Grace should contain some kind of spiritual imprint of an evil god. If you can really absorb the spiritual pollution bestowed by an evil god, how could the evil god remain completely unaffected? How do you explain this?"
