"Hold on!" Pei Du's icy voice resounded like thunder in her chaotic mind! At the same time, his right hand, covered in dark gold patterns, pointed like a knife, slashing at the core of the giant mycelial tumor in mid-air!
A pitch-black blade light, condensed to the extreme and with a slight distortion of space on its edge, silently tore through the air, instantly crossed the space, and slashed towards the distorted "human face" in the center of the tumor!
This single slash embodied the purest annihilation intent of the End Star Core! Wherever it passed, the air was forcibly expelled, leaving behind a trail of vacuum! Even the surrounding mycelium spores and foul energy were instantly annihilated!
"roar--!!!"
The mycelial tumor, sensing a deadly threat, let out a deafening roar! The twisted "human face" suddenly opened its maw, spewing no more spores but a torrent of dark green energy, thick as substance and emitting a strong stench of corruption! Within this torrent, countless twisted mental spikes, composed of pure resentment and fragments of the stone tablet's cold logic, loomed! This was a double blow of physical and mental devastation!
boom--!!!
The pitch-black blade light and the dark green torrent collided fiercely in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only two diametrically opposed, equally terrifying forces frantically annihilating, colliding, and devouring each other! A blinding blast of energy instantly engulfed half the underground space! The pitch-black force of annihilation and the dark green energy of corruption tangled and ripped apart, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound! The escaping energy turbulence was like an out-of-control hurricane, tearing the surrounding mycelium pipes and instrument debris to shreds!
Pei Du's blade slashed with unparalleled sharpness, like a red-hot knife slicing through solidified grease, instantly splitting the dark green torrent in half! The power of annihilation frantically eroded the corrupted energy! However, the spiritual spikes contained in the dark green torrent pierced through the pure energy annihilation field, like maggots on the tarsal bone. Some of them followed Pei Du's blade's slash and attacked back, while others bypassed the annihilation field and once again fiercely stabbed Xu Shuangyao, who was resisting the spiritual pollution!
For the first time, a trace of solemnity flashed through Pei Du's molten gold eyes. His left hand, covered in dark gold lines, instantly withdrew, his five fingers flexed, and he grasped at the incoming spiritual spikes! The invisible force field of the end gathered once more, forcibly twisting and crushing those malicious spiritual fragments!
But on Xu Shuangyao's side, the pressure was mounting! She was mobilizing the power of the planet's will to fight the pollution invading her sea of consciousness. The spiritual spikes that bypassed the annihilation field were like the last straw that broke the camel's back!
At this critical moment!
In Xu Shuangyao's clear eyes, deep within the chaotic green light, a point of eternal golden flame suddenly burst out with unprecedented brilliance! It was like a star ignited in the filthy mud!
"I... am Gaia!" A declaration that was a mixture of her own will and the majestic voice of the planet resounded in the core of her consciousness and the entire underground space!
She abandoned her passive defense! Her hands suddenly opened wide, her fingers plucking invisible strings in the air! The golden flame mark between her eyebrows shone brightly!
Buzz——!!!
The entire underground life network of the City of Thorns was completely activated at this moment! The unimaginable amount of life energy, ignoring the barriers of space, instantly converged on her like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
Her body seemed to transform into transparent golden glass! Countless fine, vibrant golden veins emerged and extended from her surface! Her long hair danced wildly without wind, each strand like a burning golden flame! A sacred, majestic, purifying will that cleansed all filth, like the light of creation, erupted from her as the center!
"Purify the world!"
Golden light, pure to the extreme, filled with the life force that cleansed everything and reshapes order! It was no longer the gentle tide of before, but a violent purifying storm!
Wherever the light passes, the space seems to be purified and solidified!
Those spiritual spikes that pierced her were like ice spikes thrown into a blazing flame, vaporizing instantly! Not even a ripple was left behind!
The mycelial tentacles that entangled and strangled them, the moment they came into contact with the purifying storm, were like snow under the scorching sun, breaking apart and dispersing at an astonishing speed from the point of contact! They transformed into the most primitive life particles and merged into the golden light!
The massive mycelial tumor in the center bore the brunt of the impact! The dark green torrent of corruption it spewed forth, as if it had met its nemesis, was pushed back and devoured by the golden purifying storm with overwhelming force! The distorted "human face" on the tumor's surface erupted in a silent wail of utter despair! The mycelium, rotting flesh, and metal debris that comprised it crumbled and dissipated madly under the purifying light! The two dark green mycelial flames swayed violently, like candles in the wind. Within them, fragments of the tormented soul of the monument keeper and the icy will of the monument emanated a final, soul-piercing scream under the purifying light before being completely annihilated!
The entire underground space was completely engulfed by the golden purifying storm! All filth, all mycelium, all resentment, under this purifying force originating from the very essence of planetary life, were instantly incinerated like dirt thrown into a furnace! Not even a trace of residue remained! Only the ground and walls, purified to a smooth, glass-like consistency, radiating a faint vitality, remained!
The storm subsided.
The golden veins coursing through Xu Shuangyao's body slowly faded, and her flaming hair subsided. She panted slightly, the golden flame mark between her brows dimming slightly, but her eyes remained incredibly clear and bright, carrying a resoluteness that came from a tempered experience. She stared at the empty, pristine space before her. Where once a foul aggregate had lingered, now only pure life energy flowed through it.
Pei Du stood beside her, his molten-gold eyes reflecting her purified radiance, his icy features softening ever so slightly. His fingers, patterned with dark gold, unconsciously brushed against the thorn mark on the back of his hand, where Xu Shuangyao had been connected. He felt the powerful vitality transmitted from that mark in the purifying storm, blending perfectly with the power of the End.
