The demonic energy was so dense it resembled a solidified black fog, completely enveloping Si Mingye. His body trembled involuntarily under the impact of this surging demonic energy, as if he were enduring immense pain.
Chu Wanwan was extremely anxious. She knew that if this situation continued, Si Mingye would inevitably become a demon.
She gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted an ancient and mysterious incantation.
As the incantation was chanted, a soft white light emanated from her body, containing her life force.
"Power of life, purify the evil of the world!" Chu Wanwan shouted, her body rushing towards Si Mingye.
A huge shield of white light formed in front of her, resisting the dense demonic energy around her.
When Chu Wanwan approached Si Mingye, she reached out her hands and tried to grab Si Mingye's arms.
However, Si Mingye had already lost his mind due to the corruption of demonic energy. He subconsciously swung his arm, and a powerful force rushed towards Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the force, her body flying backward.
"Wanwan!" Upon seeing this, Tiannvba hurriedly used her divine power, and a golden light shot out to catch Chu Wanwan.
"This won't do; we must find a way to disperse this demonic energy," Yun Che said, frowning.
“But how can we disperse it? This demonic energy is so dense, and Si Mingye’s innate demonic body is constantly absorbing it.” Luo Chenzi shook his head helplessly.
The four divine beasts exchanged glances, and the Azure Dragon said, "We can try to use the power of the divine beasts to construct a sealing formation to temporarily seal away some of this demonic energy. This might alleviate the pressure on Si Mingye."
The other three mythical beasts nodded in agreement.
Thus, the four divine beasts flew into the air, each occupying one of the four cardinal directions. They began to unleash their divine beast powers: the Azure Dragon spewed out azure dragon breath, the White Tiger shot out white tiger rays, the Vermilion Bird showered down blazing flames, and the Black Tortoise released a thick, earthen-yellow light.
These forces of different attributes converged and merged in mid-air, gradually forming a massive sealing formation. The formation shimmered with multicolored light, enveloping the demonic energy surrounding Si Mingye.
When the formation came into contact with the demonic energy, it emitted a sizzling sound, like oil on a hot pan meeting water.
However, this demonic energy was far too powerful. Although the sealing formation temporarily blocked some of the spread of the demonic energy, it could not stop Si Mingye from continuing to absorb it.
At this moment, black lightning began to gather in the sky, a sign that a demon god had been born.
Si Mingye slowly opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils gleaming with a sinister light.
He glanced up at the lightning tribulation, then impatiently waved his hand. The thick, gathered thunderclouds were instantly dispersed!
"The Demon God is indeed powerful, so powerful that he even surpasses the Heavenly Dao," Luo Chenzi murmured softly.
Si Mingye glanced at Chu Wanwan and the others below, his eyes filled with coldness and unfamiliarity, as if all the past affection had been erased the moment he became a demon.
Chu Wanwan felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow. She couldn't accept that Si Mingye had become like this, but she knew that now was not the time to be sad; she had to find a way to save him.
"Si Mingye! Don't become a demon, come back quickly! You can still come back, right?" Chu Wanwan flew to Si Mingye's side, her eyes gradually becoming misty.
Although she knew that someone with an innate demonic body would eventually become a demon, she really didn't expect it to happen so quickly. What should she do with him?
Si Mingye looked at Chu Wanwan, his brows furrowed. "Chu Wanwan?"
Chu Wanwan was overjoyed to hear Si Mingye call her name. It seemed that even though Si Mingye had become a demon, he had not forgotten her.
However, Chu Wanwan did not notice that Si Mingye's voice had lost its usual gentleness and instead carried a mechanical coldness.
"Si Mingye, you haven't lost your mind, have you?" Chu Wanwan tried to get closer to him, her eyes full of expectation.
Si Mingye frowned and waved his hand, creating an invisible barrier between them. No matter how hard Chu Wanwan tried, she could not get any closer to Si Mingye!
"Si Mingye?" A sense of panic rose in Chu Wanwan's heart.
"I'll give you two choices!"
"First, if you become a demon like me, I won't mind if you continue to be my partner!"
"Two, die!"
Si Mingye's voice was icy, his eyes contemptuous, as if he were looking at Chu Wanwan as if she were an ant.
Chu Wanwan stared wide-eyed in shock at his words. She simply couldn't believe that the cold and ruthless person in front of her was the same Si Mingye she loved so deeply.
"Si Mingye, how could you say such a thing? You're not like that! You're being controlled by demonic energy! Wake up!" Chu Wanwan shouted, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Si Mingye remained unmoved, simply watching her coldly, as if waiting for her to make a choice.
Tiannvba said angrily from the side, "Simingye, you've gone too far! You'll regret treating Wanwan like this!"
Yun Che clenched his fists. "We can't let him continue like this. We must find a way to save him."
Luo Chenzi frowned. "But his power is too great now. We are no match for him at all."
The four divine beasts also showed worried expressions. They surrounded Chu Wanwan, constantly on guard against any possible attack from Si Mingye.
"I don't have time to wait for you to make a choice. I'll count to three, and you give me the answer!"
Si Mingye coldly began to count: "One!"
Chu Wanwan was extremely anxious. She knew she couldn't let Si Mingye continue to sink deeper into despair, but she couldn't think of a better solution for the moment. Her mind raced, trying to find any remaining humanity deep within Si Mingye's heart.
"Si Mingye, do you still remember our promise? We said we'd travel all over the three thousand minor worlds together. You said you'd protect me forever, are you just going to abandon all those beautiful memories like this?"
Chu Wanwan tried to evoke his memory, her voice trembling slightly.
Si Mingye's eyes flickered slightly, but quickly returned to their icy expression as he continued shouting:
"two!"
"Si Mingye, wake up! Wake up right now!" Chu Wanwan shouted anxiously as she watched energy slowly gathering in Si Mingye's hand.
"three!"
As soon as Si Mingye finished speaking, the magic ball was thrown directly towards Chu Wanwan and the others.
The ball of magic contained world-destroying power, and with a whooshing sound, it fell like a black meteor.
Chu Wanwan was the first to be hit. She had no time to dodge and could only gather all the remaining divine power in front of her to form a thin shield.
Tiannvba, Yunche, Luochenzi, and the four divine beasts also unleashed their strongest defensive moves, working together to withstand this fatal blow.
