The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

It resembled a demonic entity, radiating an unbearable heat.

"This is... a man-made collapse?"

"Clatter!!!"

Kiana quickly retrieved her sword, drew it out, and threw it to the ground. Then, she flipped over and leaped onto Qianjie's back.

At this moment, Qianjie stretched out a palm and slapped Kiana hard on the back, trying to knock her off.

"boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and Kiana's body was sent flying by Qian Jie. She had no choice but to flip over and land on the ruins of a building in the distance.

"call..."

Kiana took a deep breath to regulate her breathing.

Seeing this, Qian Jie revealed a wicked smile: "Heh, you're quite formidable, but too bad for you, your opponent is me!!!"

As Qianjie spoke, he stomped his feet on the ground and then his body soared into the air, pouncing towards Kiana once again.

Seeing that Qianjie was about to gain the upper hand, almost all the heroes watching from afar showed expressions of surprise.

However, the next second...

"Get out!"

Kiana suddenly flicked her hand, and a wave of fire rose upwards from her, directly lifting Thousand Calamity from mid-air into the sky.

"If you insist on fighting, then I can't hold back anymore!"

As she spoke, Kiana slowly raised her hand, creating an incredibly hot black hole high in the sky.

This black hole is much larger than any black hole created before, so large that it seems to block out the sun's afterglow like a solar eclipse.

Qianjie, lifted high into the sky, was powerless to resist and was pulled away by the black hole through anti-gravity.

Alicia and Kevin, who remained rooted to the earth, each used their unique abilities to avoid being pulled away.

Unfortunately, those buildings that had been reduced to ruins by the battle were not so lucky; they were forcibly pulled toward the scorching center of the black hole.

In an instant, this small area presented a terrifying, apocalyptic scene...

It's normal for there to be fourteen heroes out of the thirteen, right? (Previous Civilization): Chapter Sixteen: After her arrival, everyone... might die.

Seeing this, Kiana didn't let the black hole last long before detonating it.

'boom!'

The loud noise echoed throughout the city, making the entire city seem to tremble, and the pedestrians on the streets were all in a panic.

However, they did not flee in panic.

In the face of absolute power, even running away becomes a foolish act.

In an instant, countless people knelt on the ground, praying that fate would spare them.

However, fate did not favor them...

Kiana can!

The explosion did not cause any serious damage, so it only caused some tremors within the city and did not cause any harm to other areas of the city, which was Kiana's intention.

After the explosion, Kiana emerged from the void and landed in the very center of the city. At the same time, the black hole in the sky disappeared.

The city was now a scene of utter devastation, charred and blackened.

The streets were filled with an unpleasant odor, along with a hint of burnt barbecue smell.

The buildings along the street were covered in a layer of dust, and there were many shards of glass on the walls.

It looked like a disaster had struck.

However, there were no casualties in the city at this time, and not even a single body could be found in the entire city.

This was Kiana's decision to hold back, and it was also the fundamental reason why the city's residents were able to escape disaster.

However, the threat of annihilation was so terrifying that even after the battle ended and the crisis was averted.

The entire city was filled with a deathly silence; no one dared to step out of the specially built air-raid shelters, as if the city had never existed.

Kiana stood in the city center, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, her expression cold and indifferent.

Her eyes held a coldness and solemnity, like a deity from the upper realm proclaiming the end, devoid of any vitality.

She looked at everything before her and fell silent.

“Traces of civilization...are easily erased.”

She murmured, a hint of sorrow in her voice: "If I hadn't held back, perhaps a city would have been destroyed like this."

Building a city may take one or two years, ten or twenty years, or even longer.

However, destroying it only takes a fleeting moment.

"Sometimes, everything that humans build... seems so fragile."

Kiana shook her head, filled with emotion.

'Om! '

Just as I was thinking this, a buzzing sound suddenly came from high in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a strange, crimson object plummeted from the sky.

The gray light it emitted streaked across the sky, creating a striking sight...

Kiana heard the sound and looked up.

The unidentified object falling from the sky was plummeting toward the earth at an unstoppable speed.

And the destination... is actually our own side?

"This is... a thousand tribulations?"

If nothing unexpected happens, he is the only one who can escape from the center of the black hole and survive.

Kiana was certain that Thousand Calamities had not died.

Moreover, they have the strength to fight!

"Phew~~~" Kiana let out a long sigh of relief, patted her chest lightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although what she did just now was correct, it was still a bit dangerous.

But it's all right now.

'Boom! B ...

With a loud bang, Qianjie crashed into an abandoned building in the battlefield.

In an instant, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and the building collapsed.

Everything seemed so astonishing.

It makes one wonder, that thing was torn apart by a black hole, then scorched by blazing flames, and now it's being smashed down from the sky.

Is he still alive?

Kiana? Are you alright?

Seeing that Kiana was safe and sound, Alicia and the others in the distance also showed joy, and their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Kiana. They knew that Kiana was a true heroine.

However, Kiana wasn't doing it for those reasons; she simply wanted to buy some time for her friend, because in her mind, this matter had to be resolved.

Kiana's gaze fell on Qianjie, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips as she looked at his disheveled appearance.

Kiana just showed off her skills; this move is extremely powerful and can burn everything in existence, even turning this area into ashes.

However, this Qianjie was no ordinary opponent. Although he was burned by the black hole, his clothes were not damaged. However, his body was subjected to intense friction during the burning process, which caused his skin to turn red and his blood to flow continuously, making him look quite miserable.

"Wow, Qianjie is pretty amazing, he can still stand up!"

Alicia found it unbelievable and said with some surprise.

Upon hearing Alicia's words, Qianjie's expression turned extremely ugly. Well, at this moment, for him, whose face had already changed due to the artificial collapse, it seemed that he had no expression to speak of.

The only certainty is that he was on the verge of exhaustion after taking Kiana's serious blow.

"cough!"

Qianjie coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How are you? You're not going to die, are you?" Kiana asked.

Although the injury from this attack was severe, Kiana could still sense that Qianjie had not suffered fatal damage.

"Don't look down on me, Herrscher! I'm just a little injured, and this injury won't kill me."

Qian Jie said, a hint of relief in his voice, "I didn't expect that this matter would actually yield results. I thought you could let me leave this boring world. Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean? You can still fight?"

It's unbelievable, is this a human or a monster?

After suffering such a terrible blow, how can he still stand here and shout at himself?

Can this man named Qianjie truly be called a human being?

Is he human? Or a Herrscher? Or...?

What could be even more incredible?

Kiana stared intently at Qian Jie before her, ready to fight again at any moment.

However, the Thousand Tribulations, having endured countless traumas, grinned.

His twisted face, resembling that of a demon, exudes an undeniable air of madness...

"This time, you've won, Herrscher!"

"Mm." Kiana nodded.

"In that case, I'll be leaving now." Qianjie nodded to Kiana and turned to leave.

But just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at Kiana, his eyes flashing with a burning light: "Speaking of which, Herrscher, aren't you going to say something to me?"
