Di Jun merged his primordial spirit and physical body into the Hetu Luoshu, becoming one with his body, spirit, and spiritual treasure. His cultivation and power surged intensely as he launched a desperate, all-or-nothing attack on Hu Le.
Even though Di Jun had already given his all and was fighting desperately, Hu Le did not retreat an inch. He merely smiled and threw out the Chaos Bell.
Boom!
The Chaos Bell and the Hetu Luoshu collided violently, producing a deafening explosion, and chaotic energy and white light shot out in all directions.
Centered on the two magical treasures, the void first shattered, and then turned into chaos.
The commotion was so great that it drew the attention of the various immortals and gods engaged in magical battles, who all turned their gazes toward this scene.
In an instant, the outcome was decided.
The Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell were each thrown out.
Hu Le reached out and beckoned, and the Chaos Bell obediently fell into his hand.
The Hetu and Luoshu, however, lost their spiritual light and tumbled backwards.
Halfway there, Di Jun flew out from the Hetu Luoshu, grabbed it, and turned to flee towards the outer heavens.
Hu Le frowned upon seeing this and wanted to chase after her, but Houtu Niangniang had already pounced in front of him.
He raised his bamboo staff, deflecting the sword thrust by Houtu Niangniang. At the same time, with a sway of his shoulder, an incarnation of a Dao Fruit emerged from his body, carrying a Starry Sky Sword and chasing after Di Jun.
After the previous impact, Di Jun's primordial spirit was almost collapsing, and his physical body was on the verge of destruction. At this moment, he barely managed to fuse his primordial spirit and physical body into one, and hurriedly rushed towards the heavens.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived outside the Sun Palace. Looking at the familiar scenery, he was filled with emotion.
He had just entered the palace when Lu Liu rushed out and saw that Di Jun's face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were in tatters.
"Father! What's wrong with you?"
Lu Liu stepped forward to support Di Jun, asking with concern and worry.
Di Jun shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm not going to make it. Go to Taiyin Star to see your aunt, Lady Wangshu, and beg for her protection. Then, no matter what happens, don't come back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Liu immediately understood what had happened, and his face was instantly filled with fear.
"Father..."
"Go on your own!"
With his last ounce of strength, Di Jun pushed Lu Liu on the back.
Lu Liu was immediately thrown out involuntarily, streaking across the sky like a shooting star until he left the Solar Star Region, where he finally came to a stop.
After he regained his balance, he unconsciously took a few steps toward the Sun Palace, and then stopped.
His expression shifted for a moment, but in the end he did not continue forward. Instead, he knelt down in the void and bowed three times in the direction of the Sun Palace.
When he looked up again, a resolute expression had appeared on his face.
Then, he stood up and flew towards the direction of the Moon Star without looking back.
The instant he left, a rainbow of light shot out from the depths of the starry sky. As it passed this spot, the rainbow of light suddenly scattered, and a female immortal emerged from it—it was Xihe.
Standing in the starry sky, she glanced in the direction Lu Liu had left, hesitated for a moment, and did not chase after him. Instead, she leaped up again, transforming into a streak of rainbow light and shooting towards the direction of the Sun Star.
A moment later, she had arrived outside the Sun Palace, reappeared, and looked at the Sun Palace with a cold smile on her face.
She waited outside the palace for a few moments, and then a figure carrying a sword walked over from the horizon.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Xihe Chaohu Le's incarnation bowed.
“Good! You’ve come at the right time. Come with me to see Di Jun off on his final journey.”
"That's excellent."
Xihe responded with a smile, her tone filled with boundless joy.
A short while later, the two entered the Sun Palace.
At this moment, the Sun Palace had become completely empty. The two of them had not seen a single person along the way, as if it had become desolate in an instant.
Although the various wondrous sights and phenomena of immortals along the way still remained, radiating boundless brilliance, they now appeared exceptionally lonely and desolate...
The two quickly arrived at the main hall.
Di Jun was currently seated high on the Demon Emperor's throne, his appearance tidied up, and he had regained his usual solemn and dignified demeanor.
To his right sat a lady with a graceful appearance and luxurious attire; judging from her appearance, she was none other than the Demon Queen Chang Xi.
Of course, Chang Xi had just been killed by Hu Le using the Chaos Bell, and the woman who appeared at this moment was just a phantom of Chang Xi.
She looked so lifelike, as if she were a living person, but ultimately she couldn't be considered a real life.
Di Jun sat there, watching the two arrive, his expression unmoved.
Even though he knew his time was up, he still maintained the composure of an emperor.
"Xihe! I never expected that you would be the one to see me off in the end. Speaking of which..."
Just as Di Jun was about to speak eloquently and give his final words, Xi He suddenly appeared in front of the throne. A cold light suddenly flashed in her hand, transforming into a long sword that slashed across Di Jun's neck.
"Well……"
Di Jun's voice abruptly stopped. He made two "uh-uh" sounds, then with a gurgle, his head fell off his neck and rolled down the high jade steps like a ball.
Only then did Xihe let out a disdainful sneer: "You wretched child! At this point, who still wants to listen to your incessant chatter!"
Di Jun's primordial spirit immediately escaped, hovering in the void and glaring angrily at Xi He, about to open his mouth to shout a few words of curse.
At this moment, Hu Le threw the Starry Sky Sword in his hand, which transformed into a streak of sword light that soared into the sky, circled around Di Jun's primordial spirit, and only then did Di Jun completely turn to ashes.
The Demon Emperor has thus fallen completely!
After he died, the Hetu Luoshu and the Demon Emperor Sword circled above his body once, let out a mournful cry, and then transformed into light and flew out of the hall, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Changxi's phantom also vanished into nothingness.
Hu Le came only to send Di Jun to face his tribulation, and did not stop Ling Bao from escaping.
Given his status, if he were to take the spiritual treasure for himself, wouldn't he be branded as a murderer who stole the treasure, giving others ammunition for criticism?
Moreover, he has no shortage of spiritual treasures. In addition, both of those treasures are items used to suppress the fortune of the demon race. After he takes them in, he will need to use human fortune to refine them before he can use them...
Xihe swept her sleeve and collected Dijun's corpse.
In the past, Di Jun stole her innate essence. Now she wants to take the corpse back and refine it. Not only can she take back her original essence, but she can also devour Di Jun's essence as well.
Seeing this, Hu Le could only say that it was karma and retribution, and did not say anything to stop it.
"Fellow Daoist, the primordial world is currently facing a calamity. Why don't you come with me to the mortal realm and lend me a hand?"
Hu Le extended an invitation.
Having avenged her great grudge, Xihe was quite pleased with herself. Upon hearing Hu Le's invitation, she did not refuse and replied with a smile, "Since you have spoken, how could I dare not accept? Let's go down to the mortal realm now."
The two then left the Sun Palace side by side, without disturbing a single blade of grass or tree within its walls...
