Chapter 368 The Nine-Tailed King!
As the stars illuminate, the cards are no longer five separate fortunes, but rather like a warm and powerful river.
The rosewood tree "saw" something in the river—
Countless causal lines centered around the cards are spreading out into the endless void.
Each line connects to a vibrant life and carries a unique cause and effect.
There is Xiao Bao's 83 years of unwavering waiting, and the soldiers' final shouts on the battlefield. There is the smile of a mother holding her newborn, and the grass sprouts that tenaciously push through the cracks in the rocks of the Gobi Desert.
Joy, sorrow, regret, hope... all the myriad aspects of life, the sacred chants of life, all transform into the primordial power of destiny in this instant, resonating and merging with her five cards.
At this moment, Karin finally understood—
When strength is no longer a cold concept, it becomes the weight of life itself.
"Host--!"
"Rosewood!"
Two familiar calls, like winds piercing through endless void, suddenly crashed into Huali's sea of consciousness.
It's Ao Bai and Xiao Ta!
The next second, the dormant Reincarnation Sundial within Huali suddenly awakened! It resonated simultaneously with the Luoshen Book, the Blessing Lamp, and the Burning Heaven Tower above her head!
The four divine artifacts lead to a clear coordinate system.
It's finally come to the final moment!
Huali suppressed the turmoil in her heart and bent down to look at the old man in front of her.
"Xiao Bao," she gently stroked the old man's full head of silver hair as she had when they were children, and smiled with clear eyes, "The River of Oblivion is not scary, and we will definitely meet again."
As soon as she finished speaking, the power of the artifact automatically cleared a path, and the girl's figure slowly disappeared like mist.

At the same time, at the Boundary Abyss Sealing Point, the black energy completely spiraled out of control.
The agreed-upon hundred-year period has now reached its end, with only ten years remaining, but the dark energy is worse than they anticipated.
The moment Yan Xi and Xia Ge turned their heads, the black column of energy on Luo Chuan's side completely went out of control!
The thick, viscous black energy churned and roared, causing everything to wither and die in its wake. Even the connections between the other sealing points weakened one by one, like candles flickering in the wind.
Yan Xi's spiritual power shattered, and he knelt on the ground, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his lips.
He and Luo Chuan were the most powerful among the ten chosen ones, so they were the ones who suppressed the two largest sources of black energy, Jieyuan and Cangming Sea.
Once the Demon King's Abyss Formation Eye is broken, the Cangming Sea alone will be unable to hold on, and the other eight locations will also collapse like a broken bridge, completely swallowed by the black energy.
Yan Xi swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth and tried to speak again, but could only manage broken, breathy sounds.
There are too many.
There's too much black energy.
Even at the peak of his tribulation-crossing stage, he couldn't withstand such intense exertion.
"Demon King!!!" Shrimp Bro shouted hoarsely, "Little Bird, hurry, hurry, the Demon King is about to give up!"
Above the Abyss, the black mist has transformed into a ferocious behemoth, frantically attacking the light barrier that flashes with demonic patterns.
Luo Chuan's enormous eight-tailed true form stood at the forefront, its snow-white fur completely stained with blood and black filth, and its eight towering tails were covered with terrifying cracks.
The key point of this formation has been out of control for twenty years, and it was only by Luo Chuan suppressing it with his true form that it was able to continue to be sealed.
"Your Majesty, the three outer auxiliary formations have been lost, and the black energy is eroding the earth's veins," Bi Fang rushed in, covered in blood, to report.
The Demon King, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the churning black energy, his voice hoarse and distorted from extreme exhaustion: "Hold the seven core nodes at all costs! Die if you have to, inside!"
The next second, the other sect elders and sect leaders guarding the area immediately poured their spiritual power into the area.
But after a full ninety-two years, they were already at their limit.
Before long, they all vomited blood and collapsed at the forefront!
Rong Xing and Yu Ling pressed forward without stopping. Rong Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and said sharply, "Luo Chuan, the three nodes at Section C need reinforcements. They're about to collapse!"
Everyone looked on in despair, only to see that the elders at the three nodes were already teetering on the brink of collapse, and there was no one else nearby to send!
"I'll do it!" Shao Siming spat out a mouthful of blood and rushed towards one of them without saying a word.
The Chaos Beast roared and charged toward another node.
Everyone who could use it had been used, but it was still lacking in one area, and just as its brilliance was about to completely dim—
A white figure suddenly pounced!
The moment Bingyue stepped into the third node of the Bing trigram, the violent backlash immediately caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and she swayed precariously, but she managed to hold on!
Without the slightest hesitation, Bingyue burned her primal power while her ten fingers flew, transforming into clear and melodious sound waves that were frantically injected into the critically broken nodes.
Shao Siming and Rongxing exchanged a glance.
"Senior Sister! What are you doing?" Qingnuo whispered, "That Demon King is clearly finished. Huali made things difficult for you before because she had these people backing her up. Why don't you take this opportunity to weaken her..."
Before he could finish speaking, the condensed sonic blade had already slit Qingnuo's throat!
"Idiots!" Bingyue gritted her teeth and swallowed the blood in her throat, but blood continued to seep from her cracked fingertips. "The reason I can never beat Huali is because I have a bunch of stupid, pig-like creatures like you by my side!"
"I want Karin dead! But that's contingent on the world surviving first! How can I take revenge if she's dead?!"
A flash of hatred crossed Bingyue's eyes. She certainly wouldn't let Huali off easily; she would retaliate a thousandfold for those insults, but only if the world survived could she achieve that!
Now! At this moment! The Demon King is the only one who can stabilize the situation! She must listen to him!
"Lingyin Sect members, what are you standing there for?!" Bingyue's eyes were bloodshot. "Anyone who dares to disobey will suffer the same fate as Biyao!!"
"Hold on, even if it kills you!!!"
*
All the power converged without reservation at this moment, surging wildly into Luo Chuan's body through the node.
The light shield on the demon king's enormous eight-tailed body trembled violently, firmly holding back the black energy!
However, the next second—
boom--
At the core of the black energy, a destructive energy far exceeding the previous ones, seemingly condensing the malice of the entire universe, erupted like a dormant volcano!
The protective barrier, which had gathered the strength of many, finally shattered like paper after nearly a century of perseverance!
The black energy completely broke through the defenses, like a raging torrent that had burst its banks, and devoured Luo Chuan, who had almost exhausted all his demonic power at the core!
It's over.
At this moment, endless despair was reflected in the eyes of Rongxing, Yuling, Shaosiming, Bingyue... everyone.
Rong Xing spat out a mouthful of blood, "...In the end...it's just an ant trying to shake a tree..."
But in this final moment, when all things are ending and consciousness is about to be frozen by darkness—
At the core, the King of the Holy City Demon Realm, almost soaked in blood, slowly raised his head.
Every bone in Luo Chuan's massive body groaned under the strain, and even his vision began to blur...
But at this critical juncture, a clear and suddenly intense thought, like a shooting star piercing through the eternal night, entered the Demon King's sea of consciousness—
He had made a promise to her.
If he dies here, what will happen to the little girl trapped in cause and effect?
We already made a promise... to be together forever, so... he absolutely cannot break his promise!
no way! !
This thought, like the most violent thunder, erupted with unprecedented resentment!
Deep within Luo Chuan's bloodline, the pride and power belonging to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox were fully ignited!
So what if it's the universe? So what if it's a half-demon?!
He is the King of All Demons, the Lord of the Demon Realm of the Holy Capital! How could this filth possibly devour his power?!
"How could I, the King, be defeated here?!"
"roar--!!!"
A roar, seemingly from the very source of the primordial chaos, resounded. It was no longer a painful howl, but a declaration of supreme authority and unwavering resolve!
Yan Xi, Lian Zhuo, Wen Jin, Shen Yu, Wen Tingyun, Fu Yan, Zhan Li, Li Yuan, Mu Feng and others seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up!
Above the Abyss, as the Eight-Tailed Demon King unleashed its primal light, its eight giant tails, like eight fuses, frantically absorbed the remaining spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and even began to devour the nearby black energy in reverse!
At the base of the Eight-Tails, the space was no longer distorted, but a chaotic vortex that appeared after the space completely collapsed!
"Snap—"
With the first thunderclap, to everyone's disbelief, a brand new giant tail, carrying the divine power to crush the laws, emerged unstoppably from the vortex!
Nine tails appear, and the world falls silent!
The rampant black energy was instantly suppressed back to its original position!
A powerful spiritual force, capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, emanated from the Nine-Tailed Demon King's body, and everyone felt the awe emanating from this top-tier bloodline.
Luo Chuan slowly raised his enormous head, his heterochromatic eyes filled with a cold, domineering light, and—an obsession for only one person.
However, the shock went far beyond that—
The moment the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared, in the void above everyone's heads, which had been torn apart by demonic power, an aura far purer than the black energy and more ancient, warm, and powerful than Luo Chuan's demonic power, silently seeped in, like a sleeping galaxy awakening.
Time stretched out infinitely at this moment.
The Nine-Tailed King seemed to sense something and looked up.
A thin yet clear golden crack, like the first melting line on a spring ice river, appeared silently in the sky.
This is......
