With my soul, I comfort the heart of Heaven.
"Awoo—!" Little Tun Tun's body swelled up, its chaotic horn crackling with lightning. It opened its huge mouth and frantically devoured the sword energy emanating from the edge of the Judgment Sword Light!
The sword energy entered its body like a million steel needles piercing it. Countless wounds instantly appeared on its body surface, dripping with blood. However, its wide-open eyes showed no sign of retreat. It continued to devour the energy desperately, sharing the pressure with everyone!
At the eye of the storm, Fang Li's chaotic domain expanded to its limit! The hazy domain enveloped everyone around her. Within the domain, all laws returned to nothingness; the terrifying annihilation sword intent entered the domain, and although it wasn't completely neutralized, its destructive speed and power were forcibly weakened!
The five humans and one beast each displayed their unique abilities and cooperated seamlessly, actually managing to hold up a small piece of the world under the devastating Judgment Sword Light!
However, the power of the Heavenly Judgment Sword seemed inexhaustible. The annihilation sword light only paused slightly before continuing to press down with an even more magnificent momentum!
"Crack—!" Ye Wuyang's ice coffin was the first to crack and shatter! He was struck as if by a heavy blow, and a mouthful of blood containing ice crystals gushed out. His whole body was instantly frozen by a thick layer of ice, and he fell from the sky.
Shen Yunzhou's sword intent of severing fate was severely backlashed by an even greater force of cause and effect. The Frost Chant Sword cried out in anguish, his face turned pale, his soul suffered a severe injury, his sword heart was almost shattered, and he knelt on one knee, blood seeping from his seven orifices.
Ji Qianqiu's towering axe shadow shattered inch by inch the moment it collided with the sword light. The giant axe flew out of his hand, his arm bones were completely broken, and his whole body crashed into the ground like a meteorite, leaving a deep crater.
Xie Chen's star chart was completely reduced to dust. He coughed up blood, his aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and he collapsed to the ground with a dim look in his eyes.
Little Tun Tun absorbed too much sword energy beyond its limits, its body almost bursting open. It let out a painful groan, fell heavily to the ground, and fell into a coma.
Fang Li's chaotic domain twisted violently and was on the verge of collapse. She felt a sweet taste in her throat and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Just as the stalemate that everyone had created with all their might was about to be broken, the next wave of sword energy was about to annihilate everyone!
At this moment of despair!
"Li'er—! Hold on!" A heart-wrenching roar came from the outside! Space was forcibly torn apart, and Fang Qingyu, Yun Zhiruo, Fang Yan, Qingxuan Zhenren and others, covered in blood, led the main force of the allied army, which had also suffered heavy casualties, and finally broke through the last line of defense of the Celestial Court and rushed into the core battlefield!
They saw the sword of judgment hanging overhead, and they saw several people who were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"My child!" Yun Zhiruo cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"Sister! Brother's here!!" Fang Yan's eyes were bloodshot as he rushed forward without regard for anything else.
"Disciple!" Master Qingxuan unleashed a ten-thousand-foot-long bolt of lightning with his whisk, yet it appeared so insignificant before the heavenly might.
However, they arrived too late. The sword of judgment had already fallen mercilessly.
Fang Li heard the cries of her loved ones. She turned around with difficulty, glancing at the heavily injured people lying on the ground, at the unconscious Xiao Tun Tun, and then at her parents, brothers, and master who were desperately trying to rush over to save her…
She understood!
So this is my destiny... endless reincarnation.
With my chaos, I will appease the wrath of Heaven... in exchange for everything I care about.
She suddenly turned towards her loved ones and gave them a gentle smile.
Then, she turned around abruptly, facing the crushing gray tide, and completely abandoned all defense!
The chaotic domain receded into her body like a tide, and she opened her arms to actively welcome the power of the Heavenly Dao's judgment!
She ignited her chaotic foundation, all the karma accumulated over four lifetimes, all the origins of her soul, and even the traces of her own existence without reservation!
"With my own body, I will restore order to chaos!"
"With my soul, I appease the heart of Heaven!"
"In my name... Liuli... I wish to merge with chaos, to forever imprison this sword, in exchange for... a glimmer of hope for all the heavens!"
Boom—!!!
A burst of chaotic divine light suddenly erupted from Fang Li's body! Its radiance even briefly overwhelmed the gray light of the Heavenly Judgment Sword!
This chaotic divine light, like the gentlest mother, softly enveloped the raging Heavenly Judgment Sword. The gray tide, capable of annihilating everything, was soothed and embraced by this chaotic primordial light that it calmed down like a tamed raging wave.
A massive chaotic rune condensed in the light and was deeply imprinted on the blade of the Judgment Sword!
The trembling of the sword stopped, and the terrifying aura of annihilation receded like a tide.
The signs of the chaotic catastrophe that swept across the heavens came to an abrupt end.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that only chaotic light remained.
In the light, Fang Li's figure became more and more transparent, more and more faint... like a dewdrop in the morning light, quietly evaporating and returning to the world.
The light faded.
The Heavenly Judgment Sword floated silently, a chaotic seal appearing on its surface.
Fang Li... has already disappeared.
It's as if it never existed.
The reinforcements that had just arrived were all frozen in place, as if petrified.
"Li'er—! No! Don't go!" The ice on Ye Wuyang's body shattered with a deafening roar, and the Ice Glass Sword crumbled inch by inch! He frantically lunged towards the spot where Fang Li had vanished, reaching out his hand, but only grasped at empty air and a few rapidly dimming specks of light. For the second time, he watched Fang Li disappear into the world…
Shen Yunzhou abruptly looked up at the empty sky. His sword heart shattered completely, and a mouthful of blood mixed with tears gushed out. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling violently, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "You said...you would wait for me..."
"Junior sister! Ah—!!!" Ji Qianqiu struggled to get up, but failed because both of his arms were shattered. He could only frantically bang his head against the ground, his tears mixed with blood staining the soil red.
Xie Chen stared at his empty, blood-stained hands. Fragments of the Star Compass pierced his palms, yet he felt nothing. He murmured absently, "I calculated everything... why... couldn't I foresee this calamity...? Why... couldn't I keep her..."
The unconscious little Tun Tun seemed to sense something, letting out a heart-wrenching whimper, and gently nuzzled the spot where Fang Li had just stood with its wounded head…
“Li’er…my daughter…” Fang Qingyu, the iron-blooded patriarch, was as if all his backbone had been removed. He knelt down on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten thousand years, tears streaming down his face.
Yun Zhiruo collapsed to the ground, her eyes completely empty. She stared at the spot where her daughter had disappeared, her tears long since dried up. Her lips trembled, but she could not utter a sound, only despair remained.
"Ah—! Sister!!" Fang Yan frantically pounded the ground, his fists a bloody mess, his voice hoarse as if he were weeping blood.
"Heaven is unjust! Give me back my disciple!!" Master Qingxuan cried out in anguish, his white hair disheveled, his Dao heart almost collapsing.
All was silent, except for endless sorrow that enveloped the surrounding area.
Just as Fang Li's last trace was about to be completely erased by the Heavenly Dao, and her chaotic glass heart was about to dim completely.
A faint, azure light suddenly shone from the void! It carefully enveloped the spark of divine soul fire, protecting it firmly!
A child's voice, trembling with sobs and still sweet, softly broke through the deathly silence that only sorrow remained:
"Master... Little Liuli won't let you leave..."
A faint light flickered, and in the dim light, one could vaguely see the phantom of a small, crystal-clear Qilin, carved from glass, with a tiny, crystalline horn on its head, affectionately and sadly nuzzling the weak flame.
The phantom of the little Qilin became increasingly transparent, as it burned its last primordial spirit:
"Little Liuli... I'll stay by your side... Sleep now... I'll take you... home..."
Finally, the faint, glassy light receded completely within the glass heart, hovering quietly as if asleep.
The battlefield was deathly silent, and sorrow was frozen in place.
Unbeknownst to anyone, within that seemingly broken heart, the last ember of life was being protected.
