The darkness that had consumed Asgard and Lin Feng's sect began to dissipate, revealing a landscape forever changed. The land was scarred, the trees blackened and the rivers dry. The cultivators of Asgard and Lin Feng's sect emerged from their hiding places, surveying the damage.
Lin Feng stood at the center of the destruction, his eyes still blazing with fury. But as he looked around, he saw the devastation he had caused, and his expression began to change. He looked... different. Haunted.
The cultivators approached him cautiously, unsure of what to expect. Lin Feng's dark qi had changed him, had brought out a side of him that they had never seen before.
"Lin Feng," one of the cultivators said, trying to reach out to him. "It's over. The darkness has passed."
Lin Feng turned to them, his eyes slowly focusing. He looked... lost. "What happened?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
The cultivators exchanged nervous glances. "You lost control," one of them said gently. "Your dark qi consumed everything."
Lin Feng's eyes widened as he remembered the events that had led to the destruction. He had been so consumed by his anger and determination to save Freya that he had lost control.
He looked around at the devastation, feeling a wave of guilt wash over him. He had never meant for this to happen. He had never meant to hurt anyone.
The cultivators watched him, unsure of what to expect. Would Lin Feng be able to come to terms with what he had done, or would the darkness consume him forever?
As they stood there, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Helga, her eyes gleaming with malevolence.
"Well done, Lin Feng," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You've done exactly what I wanted you to do. You've unleashed your dark qi, and now Asgard and your sect are vulnerable."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, his anger and determination sparking once again. "You're behind this," he growled, his voice low and menacing.
Helga smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Of course I am," she said. "I've been manipulating events from behind the scenes, using Freya to get to you."
Lin Feng's eyes blazed with fury, and he took a step forward. "You'll pay for what you've done," he snarled.
Helga laughed, her voice echoing through the desolate landscape. "I'm not afraid of you, Lin Feng," she said. "You may have unleashed your dark qi, but I have the power of the ancient ones on my side."
The cultivators watched in horror as Helga revealed her true power. They knew that they were no match for her, not in their current state.
Lin Feng, however, seemed undaunted. His eyes burned with determination, and he took another step forward. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice low and menacing.
The battle between Lin Feng and Helga was about to begin, a battle that would determine the fate of Asgard and Lin Feng's sect.
