The flames are still being suppressed by the power of the Nine Heavens temporarily. However, this suppression won't last much longer.
The heavenly law mastered by the Daluo Golden Immortals will soon completely collapse. By that time, the abyssal power accumulated over many cycles will erupt entirely.
Every celestial body undergoes a cycle of rebirth and destruction.
This is because the Emperor Ziwei and these Daluo Golden Immortals are too selfish, holding onto their power and refusing to let go or cycle with the heavens and earth.
The incomplete cycle of heaven and earth is completely unbalanced, allowing the abyssal power to grow stronger.
At this point, the abyssal power is already irresistible. Even if Emperor Ziwei and the others are fine, they can barely suppress it at best.
When this cycle of heaven and earth begins, the abyssal power will still devour everything.
Her actions merely accelerated the eruption of the abyss. That's all there is to it.
