Li Luo’s gaze was fixed intently on the \"Lamp-Bearer\" ahead. The latter maintained a slow pace, moving forward through the dilapidated corridor. The illusory figure seemed not to truly exist, and in its hand, an ancient bronze lamp swayed slightly; the flame within had long since extinguished, as if having endured the passage of ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo took a deep breath. Without too much hesitation, he forcibly endured the warning signals of stinging pain from his physical body, then cautiously approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, he was standing beside the \"Lamp-Bearer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewing it up close now, Li Luo discovered that the \"Lamp-Bearer’s\" face was somewhat blurred, though judging by the physique, it appeared to be a tall, upright man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gritted his teeth and reached out his palm, attempting to touch the \"Lamp-Bearer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as expected, his palm passed right through the \"Lamp-Bearer,\" and the latter showed no movement at all, still maintaining the posture of walking slowly, showing no reaction to Li Luo’s intrusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo withdrew his palm; it seemed that ordinary methods truly could not activate this \"Lamp-Bearer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned toward the mottled, ancient bronze lamp in the \"Lamp-Bearer’s\" hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lamp is out... the lamp is out...\" A vague, murmuring sound faintly emerged from the Lamp-Bearer’s mouth. The voice seemed to travel from ancient times, giving one a sense of vicissitudes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lamp-Bearer, don't be anxious. This little brother will light it for you; I only hope you can give me some kind of reaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo pressed his hands together in a prayer-like gesture, then extended his palm, circulating the \"Small Formless Divine Forging Art.\" A cluster of transparent \"Small Formless Fire\" immediately appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the very moment Li Luo condensed the \"Small Formless Fire,\" he felt—perhaps it was an illusion—that the illusory figure of the Lamp-Bearer before him seemed to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a chance?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s spirits lifted. He flicked his finger, and the Small Formless Fire drifted out, landing precisely toward the ancient bronze lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched the trajectory of the falling flame, his eyes wide open, not daring to blink even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Li Luo’s near-breathless gaze, the Small Formless Fire drifted into the ancient bronze lamp. Then, a scene that made Li Luo’s heart race wildly occurred: the flame did not pass through it, but instead hovered steadily within the ancient bronze lamp. The next instant, the wick inside went *pop* and was actually lit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint flame rose slowly from within the ancient bronze lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ancient bronze lamp was lit, the Lamp-Bearer’s aimless footsteps finally came to a halt at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked at 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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was ultimately much better than the previous state of being like a phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo could even feel the Lamp-Bearer’s muddled gaze slowly turning toward him with extreme sluggishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Who... are... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Cultivated... Small... Formless Fire... yet failed to fuse fire into phase...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Stu... stupid... dull.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo was stunned, piecing these intermittent words together in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are you? Cultivated Small Formless Fire, yet failed to fuse fire into phase, stupid and dull?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s face darkened. This senior, back in the Formless Sacred Sect, must have had the personality of a strict teacher, right? This remnant spirit, as broken as it could possibly be, was actually scolding him for being dull in its very first sentence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what on earth was \"fusing fire into phase\"? No one had ever taught him that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt aggrieved, but the current matter was urgent, so he said cautiously, \"Senior, an Other has invaded my Formless Sacred Sect. I ask that you step forward to destroy the demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Li Luo’s words fell, he discovered that the \"Lamp-Bearer’s\" illusory figure began to ripple violently, and at the same time, a flash of fury and resentment seemed to appear in those muddled eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",684,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a237fbe30fac911051f979646835a7d019a580c90ec48675ed0b94df697aa7fe","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-976","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-974",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
