Lu Ning felt himself enveloped in a pale light, which he initially thought was normal.
But soon, Lu Ning realized something was wrong.
Because he saw a phantom gradually appearing in front of him.
Lu Ning recognized the illusory figure; it was himself, wearing the same clothes he wore while walking in the mist.
A time illusion?
Lu Ning raised an eyebrow, feeling that this was somewhat similar to the time illusion he had seen on the road earlier.
However, Lu Ning soon realized that something was wrong.
This phantom is not stationary, but rather slowly moves forward step by step.
He can move.
Just as Lu Ning was feeling somewhat confused, the phantom figure that had been walking forward suddenly stopped.
Just as Lu Ning was wondering why he had stopped, the illusory figure suddenly turned around.
The time-illusory figure's eyes were calm, but not numb.
This surprised Lu Ning.
He had been walking in the fog for many years, and had long since become emotionally numb, even losing the ability to think.
Now that he has emerged from the fog, he has gradually recovered.
However, the gaze of this phantom seemed different from his state after years of walking in the mist.
Was it shortly after entering the fog?
At that time, Lu Ning was not yet numb.
Just then, the illusory figure that had turned around suddenly looked up and its eyes were fixed on Lu Ning's direction.
He seemed to see Lu Ning.
The illusory figure and Lu Ning's eyes met, and Lu Ning was momentarily stunned.
You saw me?
Did the phantom of time see me?
Does this mean that the past self is actually seeing the present self?
How is that possible?
Lu Ning carefully recalled her memories before she became completely numb.
He didn't remember this part. At that time, he was just an ordinary person, not even an awakened one. How could he have seen his future self?
Let alone him back then, even he now wouldn't be able to do that, right?
Just as Lu Ning was puzzled, the illusory figure withdrew its gaze and turned to walk forward again.
As I walked, the fleeting shadow of time vanished like bubbles.
Lu Ning frowned as he looked at the light, which had turned pale again.
Is it an illusion?
Lu Ning guessed that this might be different from the previous time illusions, and was simply a hallucination.
He simply didn't understand why such an illusion would appear within that pale light.
And...shouldn't I be entering the Tower of Ruins?
Just as Lu Ning was feeling extremely confused, the phantom image appeared again in front of him.
This time, the phantom made Lu Ning's eyes widen in astonishment.
Within the illusory image of time, Lu Ning was also walking.
But this time, there were a large number of corpses around Lu Ning.
The bodies were twisted in shape, some even consisting of fragments.
Lu Ning's time-manipulated figure walked step by step over the corpses, his expression calm, even somewhat numb.
Just then, the time-illusory figure suddenly stopped and looked up ahead.
Ahead, the pale light twisted, and a distorted black phantom appeared before Lu Ning's time phantom.
As the illusory image of time appeared, Lu Ning's eyes widened slightly.
He seemed to have seen this scene before?
He had seen this scene before, deep underground in Base City 65 of the Mist 101, when he saw the true form of the Disordered Time Worm through a crack in the barrier.
At the time, Lu Ning was confused as to when he had encountered such a thing before.
I never expected to see him again.
Could it be that I really encountered these monsters before?
How exactly did these monsters die?
And what exactly was that distorted phantom in front of him?
Just as Lu Ning was puzzled, the time illusion suddenly vanished again like a bubble.
After it dissipated, a wisp of pale light drifted out and entered Lu Ning's body.
Lu Ning felt his body become much warmer, and his mental energy was also unusually active.
At the same time, in Lu Ning's mental sea, the mental pollution sources of the disordered time worm, the mental pollution source of the Yellow Spring Hand, and the mental pollution source of the Lord of Radiant Ember, which were originally fighting fiercely, let out a shrill scream.
When Lu Ning looked at his mental sea, he discovered that the three clumps of mental pollution that he would normally need to spend a long time refining and absorbing had melted away and transformed into the purest mental energy, which Lu Ning then absorbed.
As Lu Ning absorbed this pure spiritual energy, his mental fluctuations surged at an extremely rapid pace.
This rate of improvement was something Lu Ning had never experienced before.
Originally, Lu Ning was still a long way from the eighth rank, but in just a few breaths, with the support of pure spiritual power, Lu Ning broke through to the eighth rank. His spiritual sea expanded again, becoming vast and boundless, just like a real ocean.
Moreover, Lu Ning discovered that his mental sea was different from before, now glowing with a pale light.
Even after reaching the eighth rank, a large amount of spiritual energy still remained in those three sources of spiritual pollution from the evil gods.
His mental strength increased rapidly once again.
It wasn't until it reached nearly the ninth level that the spiritual energy was completely digested and absorbed.
Lu Ning took a deep breath, feeling the powerful spiritual energy surging in his spiritual sea. He was a little surprised and a little happy.
To his surprise, he didn't understand what that pale light was. Just a wisp of it was enough to melt away the three powerful sources of evil god spiritual pollution within his body.
After melting, it can even transform into the purest spiritual energy, which he can quickly absorb.
Lu Ning could clearly feel his own condition; he felt no discomfort whatsoever.
This ability was something he had never encountered before, and it was extremely powerful.
He didn't know what was behind that pale light, or why it was helping him absorb and refine these sources of spiritual pollution.
What's good is that after these three sources of mental pollution were absorbed, Lu Ning saved at least one or two years of time to temper his mental power.
Given the current situation, time is extremely precious, which is naturally a good thing for him.
Given his current situation, it might not be long before he can directly advance to the ninth rank.
Moreover, after these sources of spiritual pollution were absorbed, the power of the evil god did not appear.
There's no need to elaborate on the Hand of the Underworld; Lu Ning had already absorbed its divine power before, so logically, it should have attacked him again this time, but it didn't.
As for the Time-Disordered Worm and the Lord of Embers, although this was Lu Ning's first time absorbing their divinity, he should have been attacked during his first absorption.
Previously, Lu Ning was attacked after absorbing the divinity of other evil gods.
But this time, after absorbing three evil gods, none of them attacked him.
Even though he had already mastered the power of these three evil gods, why weren't they angry?
But most importantly, there was that pale light.
Looking at the pale light in his own spiritual sea, Lu Ning remained silent for a moment, then looked at the pale light screen in front of him and calmly said, "Open."
The light curtain shattered the next moment, revealing the environment inside the Tower of Ruins.
