Chapter 973: Activating the Lamp-Bearer

Li Luo took a deep breath, did not hesitate too much, forcibly endured the warning of stinging pain from his physical body, and then carefully approached.

Very quickly, he was standing at the side of the "Lamp-Bearer."

Now viewing it up close, Li Luo discovered that the "Lamp-Bearer's" face was somewhat blurry, but judging from its figure, it should be a tall and straight man.

Li Luo gritted his teeth and stretched out his palm, trying to touch the "Lamp-Bearer."

But as expected, his palm passed right through the "Lamp-Bearer's" body, and the latter did not make any movement, still maintaining its posture of walking slowly, showing no reaction to Li Luo's trespass.

Li Luo withdrew his palm. It seemed ordinary methods truly could not activate this "Lamp-Bearer."

His gaze shifted to the mottled, ancient bronze lamp in the "Lamp-Bearer's" hand.

"The lamp is out, the lamp is out." From the Lamp-Bearer's mouth, a faint, blurry muttering still drifted out. That voice seemed to come from ancient ages, giving one a sense of vicissitude.

"Brother Lamp-Bearer, don't rush. This little brother will light it for you. I only hope you can give me some reaction."

Li Luo pressed his palms together in a prayer-like gesture, then stretched out his palm and circulated the "Minor Form Divine Forging Art." A transparent "Minor Form Fire" immediately appeared in his palm.

And at the very instant Li Luo condensed the "Minor Form Fire," whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the illusory figure of the Lamp-Bearer before him seemed to ripple.

"There's hope?!"

Li Luo's spirit was lifted. Then with a flick of his finger, the Minor Form Fire shot out, precisely landing toward the ancient bronze lamp.

He stared at the trajectory of the falling flame, his eyes wide open, not daring to blink even once.

Under Li Luo's nearly breath-held gaze, the Minor Form Fire drifted into the ancient bronze lamp, and then a scene that made Li Luo's heart pound wildly appeared. The flame did not pass through it, but instead steadily hovered within the ancient bronze lamp. The next instant, the wick inside went "poof" and was actually ignited!

A faint flame rose slowly from within the ancient bronze lamp.

When the ancient bronze lamp was lit, the Lamp-Bearer's aimless footsteps finally paused at this moment.

Li Luo watched the Lamp-Bearer with immense excitement. In the latter's hollow eyes, a subtle ripple seemed to emerge at this moment, though that ripple still appeared extremely muddled.

But after all, it was much better than the previous state like a mere phantom.

Even Li Luo could feel the Lamp-Bearer's muddled gaze, under an extreme sluggishness, slowly turning toward him.

". Who. are. you."

"You. cultivated. the. Minor. Form. Fire. but. have. not. fused. fire. into. phase."

"Foolish. dull."

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, connecting these broken sentences in his mind.

Who are you? You cultivated the Minor Form Fire but have not fused fire into phase, foolish and dull?

Li Luo's face darkened. This senior, when he was in the Formless Holy Sect, must have had a strict-teacher personality, right? This remnant spirit, broken beyond repair, actually started its first words by scolding him as foolish and dull?

However, what exactly is fusing fire into phase? No one ever taught me that!

Li Luo felt wronged, but the matter at hand was urgent, so he carefully said: "This senior, there are aberrations invading my Formless Holy Sect. Please step forward and vanquish the demons!"

And just as Li Luo's words had just fallen, he discovered that the illusory figure of the "Lamp-Bearer" before him rippled violently. At the same time, within those muddled eyes, a hint of rage and resentment seemed to appear.
