Shi Feiyang used the Seven Absolute Divine Shuttle from the Heavenly Stars' Secret Demon technique to absorb the omnipresent Poison Fire and Evil Spirit. By spinning at high velocity, alternating absorption and release, he rapidly stratified various material energies.
This method was a thousandfold more efficient than previous techniques, quickly separating out the dark purple Ancient Poison Flame.
