Demonic thoughts dissipate
When Yu Jinli's confident and flamboyant declaration rang out atop Kunlun Mountain, the entire battlefield fell silent.
All eyes were fixed in disbelief on the petite figure bathed in endless golden light. She floated silently in mid-air, behind her a vast, boundless sea of golden merit formed from countless points of goodwill. Her small face, which always carried a hint of cunning and playfulness, was now filled with holiness and solemnity, like a Valkyrie descended to earth to act on behalf of heaven.
"Playing tricks!" The tall, black demonic figure, formed from the demonic thoughts of the first sect leader, looked at her and let out its first roar, filled with savagery and disdain. He clearly couldn't understand how this girl, who seemed as weak as an ant to him, could possess such a pure and terrifying power that made his heart tremble.
Without further hesitation, he suddenly raised his hand! A demonic aura, even larger and more malevolent than before, surged from his body into the sky, transforming into a gigantic ghostly claw in mid-air, capable of blotting out the sun and earth, carrying world-destroying power, and fiercely grabbed at Yu Jinli!
"Koi! Watch out!" Yuehua and Yu Zhengdao below were shocked to see this.
However, facing this terrifying attack that could crush a mountain with a single claw, Yu Jinli showed no fear. She slowly raised her hand and gently pointed at the gigantic ghostly claw that was hurtling towards her: "Disperse."
The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a divine oracle, its words carrying weight and impossible to defy.
The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded. The vast golden sea of merit behind her instantly split into a golden torrent, which did not appear particularly powerful. It lacked earth-shattering momentum and world-destroying power, but simply and gently met the hideous and terrifying giant ghost claw.
The two met in mid-air, but there was no earth-shattering explosion or fierce clash as expected. The ghostly claw, formed from pure demonic energy and brimming with destructive power, vanished the moment it touched the golden torrent, as if it had met its nemesis. Like snow under the blazing sun, it sizzled and disintegrated, ultimately turning into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
The entire battlefield fell silent once more. Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, a spectacle completely beyond their comprehension.
"This...this is..." Yu Zhengdao stared at his daughter, bathed in golden light and seemingly inviolable, in mid-air, his voice trembling. "The power of merit...it's...it's actually this powerful?"
“So…” Gu Yanzhi looked at her, and for the first time, a genuine, bitter smile of self-reproach appeared in his usually gentle and clear eyes. “This is the true… power of the Koi Body?”
On the other side, Feng Jinxuan simply stared at her, captivated by the girl who had become so powerful and radiant because of him. She was holy and solemn, like a Valkyrie descended to earth to uphold justice. His heart, usually cold and dormant, long corrupted by darkness, began to pound uncontrollably. He knew that from this moment on, this girl would no longer need his protection; she possessed the power to contend with the most powerful darkness in the world.
"No! Impossible!" The first sect leader's demonic thoughts roared a second time, filled with disbelief, as he watched his attack being so easily neutralized. "How could the kindness of a mere mortal possibly withstand the resentment I've accumulated over a thousand years!"
He refused to believe in evil and once again unleashed his demonic energy! This time, he released all his power without reservation! The entire forbidden area of the Kunlun Mountains trembled violently beneath his feet, and terrifying resentment filled with despair and unwillingness, powerful enough to change the color of heaven and earth, was forcibly drawn from the depths of the earth!
Those resentments merged with his own demonic energy, transforming into a ferocious, pitch-black dragon that was hundreds of feet long!
"Roar—" The demonic dragon roared, its voice shaking the heavens! The entire Tianyan Pavilion trembled under its terrifying pressure!
"Die!" The black dragon, with its world-destroying power, opened its blood-red maw and lunged to devour Yu Jinli!
However, even facing this final blow that could level the entire Tianyan Pavilion, Yu Jinli's face remained expressionless. She slowly closed her eyes and opened her arms, as if embracing something.
The next second, the vast and boundless golden sea of merit behind her completely boiled over! It was a magnificent golden scroll, formed by billions of faint yet incredibly pure specks of benevolent light, brimming with the warmth of human life. These were no longer chaotic energies, but under Yu Jinli's guidance, they began to condense and take shape, transforming into a majestic Thousand-Armed Guanyin, also hundreds of feet tall, composed entirely of pure golden light!
Guanyin lowered her brows, compassionate yet majestic. She slowly raised a palm formed from pure merit and gently slapped it down at the ferocious dragon that roared towards her. The movement was slow and light, as if brushing away dust from a work of art.
"boom--"
A deep, resounding boom, seemingly from the very beginning of the universe, exploded deep within everyone's soul! There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any cataclysmic shockwave. The once invincible black dragon, upon contact with the golden palm, shattered like a burst bubble, disintegrating inch by inch from head to tail, transforming into the purest, most primordial demonic energy. This energy was then completely purified and dissolved by the golden palm, ultimately returning to nothingness!
"Pfft—" The first sect leader's demonic thoughts were struck as if by a heavy blow, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His tall figure, which was formed from pure demonic energy, also became illusory in an instant, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
He lost, utterly and inexplicably. He raised his head, his eyes, filled with savagery and resentment, fixed on the girl bathed in golden light in mid-air. He roared hoarsely, asking his last and most bitter question: "Why...why? Why...why would my resentment accumulated over a thousand years...be defeated by your mere few decades of...goodwill?"
Yu Jinli slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. In those clear peach blossom eyes, there was no joy of victory, nor any mockery of the loser, only a compassionate, almost pitying indifference: "Because," she said softly, her voice not loud, but like a divine oracle, it clearly spread throughout the world, "a single spark can start a prairie fire. And darkness can never defeat dawn."
Having said that, she stopped looking at him and slowly raised her hand. The enormous Thousand-Armed Guanyin behind her also raised countless golden hands, formed from pure merit and filled with protection and hope, and slowly covered the black demonic shadow that had long since lost all power to resist.
"No--!"
In a mournful roar filled with resentment and despair, the first sect master of the Shadow Devouring Sect, who had plagued the Xuanmen sect for a thousand years and brought endless pain and disaster to countless people, was finally reduced to ashes and his soul scattered in the millions of tiny yet great lights of kindness belonging to mortals.
