"Moreover, the evil energy on their bodies has been accumulating for thousands of years, and it has long been ingrained, which is why it is recognized by evil energy. Now that we have become evil cultivators, we will still be attacked by evil energy." Shen Sangruo analyzed carefully.

"Well, it seems this path is still a dead end." Song Weiyan sighed. "Let's continue searching through ancient books for a solution."

“Let me try again,” she said to the others. “You will be corrupted by the evil energy, but I can barely withstand it.”

She was trying her best to adjust her flames to match the evil energy, attempting to make them more effective at purging.

Even if it still cannot be eliminated, it can clarify the composition of the evil energy and provide more information.

Only she can do this.

On the other side, independent cultivators and ordinary people without any sect were also trying their best to help find a solution. Those who had no clue were cooperating with sect disciples and elders to retreat to the rear.

They felt a vague unease, as if an irresistible catastrophe was about to befall them.

"That dark gas looks really scary. This is the first time I've ever seen the cultivation world forced into this state."

"We've all been evacuated here, is there really no way to deal with that black energy?"

What will be the final fate of the cultivation world?

"Have faith in the Five Divine Beasts, the Ninghua Sect, the Wanling Palace, and all the cultivators who are fighting against the evil cultivators!"

"That's right! Ten thousand years ago, Immortal Lord Changli and his group finally defeated those evil cultivators. This time it will definitely be the same!"

Immortal Lord Changli and Immortal Lady Qingluan stood side by side, their faces showing signs of exhaustion from days of battle.

In many places on his body, the bone was visible, and the flesh in these areas had been corroded by the evil energy.

But his eyes remained bright and resolute as he stared at the evil cultivator ahead, his aura not faltering.

"Look at you two now, still not backing down? How long are you going to stop us?" one of the evil cultivators mocked the two. "If you continue like this, you'll only end up as skeletons."

"With the help of evil energy, you've been able to be restrained by us for so long. Do you think you're so proud of that?" Immortal Lord Changli sneered and mocked back, "What kind of near-god cultivators are you? Nothing special."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight!" Qingluan Fairy glanced at the evil cultivator, then conjured a wind blade and slammed it down!

However, compared to her initial attack, her accuracy was now far worse, and the evil cultivator easily dodged it.

Seeing that they still refused to submit, the evil cultivator's anger surged. "Fine! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup! Let's see how you manage to leave here alive today!"

No sooner had the evil cultivator finished speaking than two more near-divine evil cultivators arrived, and the three of them surrounded the two of them.

"Those damned Five Divine Beasts are already held back by the rest of us. I want to see who else can come to your rescue! Attack!"

They had tried to kill the two several times before, but the two and the five divine beasts managed to evade them, which infuriated them.

Fortunately, the five divine beasts were affected by the evil energy, which weakened their combat power considerably, allowing the seven near-divine evil cultivators to keep them occupied.

The number of phantom images of the Transitional Ancestors is decreasing, and they are now being besieged by other evil cultivators.

Immortal Lord Changli and Immortal Lady Qingluan were truly isolated and helpless at this moment, with no one able to support them.

Moreover, both of them were in extremely poor condition, and they were just barely holding on, unwilling to be outdone by the evil cultivator.

They knew they were at their last gasp.

The two exchanged a glance. Having known each other for many years, they were so in sync that they understood each other perfectly.

They locked eyes for only a brief moment before quickly looking away to prepare for battle!

Qi Yan and the others could only watch as Immortal Lord Chang Li and his companion were besieged by three evil cultivators, unable to break through the encirclement of the other evil cultivators.

Qi Chong, who was holding the furnace, was the most troublesome opponent.

"Hold on a little longer, we're on our way!"

For some reason, the sight of the two men fighting back with all their might seemed tragic to them.

The evil cultivators' attacks landed on them, leaving them in a bloody mess, yet they seemed to feel no pain.

Using all his spiritual power, he disregarded everything and was determined to unleash every ounce of it on the evil cultivator.

A completely reckless fighting style, willing to inflict 1,000 damage on oneself but also 800 on the enemy.

Because they had no defenses, they were quickly and severely suppressed by the evil cultivators.

The combined attack of the three evil cultivators pierced through the wind field of Immortal Lord Changli's Fire Phoenix and Immortal Lady Qingluan, knocking them to the ground.

Blood uncontrollably spilled from the corners of their mouths. After struggling for a long time, the two finally managed to stand up again, supporting each other.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, looked up at the three evil cultivators who were high above him, their eyes filled with disdain, and his gaze turned fierce.

Even though they were seriously injured, their backs remained straight, and their pride remained unchanged.

The next moment, he charged towards the three evil cultivators once again.

Two figures, one in white and one in green, exuded a chillingly resolute air!

"You can still stand up? You're courting death!" The three evil cultivators' eyes flashed with a venomous killing intent.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in the hearts of Qi Yan and his companions, who were struggling to break through the encirclement in the distance.

"Immortal Lord Changli, Fairy Consort Qingluan! Wait a minute, we're here..."

Their shouts rang out simultaneously with two overlapping explosions.

The deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and even the five divine beasts felt a ringing in their ears.

The moment they broke through the encirclement of Qi Chong and the others, Immortal Lord Changli and Immortal Lady Qingluan self-destructed.

Qi Yan and the others seemed frozen by the sound of the explosion, their eyes wide with shock reflecting the figures of the two who had self-destructed.

I could almost faintly hear the conversation between Immortal Lord Changli and Fairy Qingluan:

"It was my regret that I couldn't fight alongside you ten thousand years ago. This time, I, the fairy, will accompany you."

"Yes, let's do it together."

I won't let you die alone like you did ten thousand years ago.

Buzz—

The sound of the explosion subsided, leaving only a buzzing sound.

The power of the self-destruction of the two Mahayana cultivators was terrifying. The three evil cultivators never expected them to be so ruthless and determined to perish together with them.

Due to the delayed reaction, one of the evil cultivators died on the spot, while the remaining two, though not dead, were maimed and barely clinging to life.

Such intensity seems to cause not only physical explosions, but also...

Upon realizing this, Qi Yan's eyes were filled with malevolence, and it seemed as if a storm was about to break out around his body.

His figure appeared instantly in front of the two surviving evil cultivators, reaping their last breaths.

The two evil cultivators were crushed into dust by his spiritual power, which was so powerful that it even shattered their souls.

Qi Yan was not skilled in soul magic, and forcibly shattering souls consumed a great deal of his power, but he did his best to crush the souls of the two people.

He thought that if it were Shen Sangruo, she would definitely do the same.

So he did it for her.
