Faced with this sudden change, Tianjun Rongyi looked solemn but did not show the slightest panic.
He moved slightly, and a faint golden light suddenly surrounded his body. It was a symbol of the purest power of heaven, forming a sharp contrast with Lu Chenguang's demonic energy.
The golden light gradually condensed into an invisible shield, blocking the whistling black blades one by one, and bursts of roars erupted, shaking the space.
"Lu Chenguang, you have gone astray. Today I will eliminate you and restore justice to the world!" Rong Yi's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the noise of demonic energy and striking deep into Lu Chenguang's soul.
The long sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword body flashed with dazzling golden light, as if it could cut off all the darkness in the world.
Seeing this, Lu Chenguang curled his lips into a cold sneer, his demonic energy surging even more fiercely. "Heaven's Way? That's just your self-righteous standard! Today, I will use this boundless demonic power to challenge your so-called justice!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and turned into a black lightning, rushing straight towards Rong Yi. Wherever he passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind shocking cracks.
The battle between the two instantly escalated to an unprecedented level of intensity. Rong Yi swung his sword, each strike imbued with the power to create the universe. Wherever the sword pointed, demonic energy emanated.
But Lu Chenguang's magic power is equally unfathomable. He seems to be able to control all the dark forces in the world. The demonic energy continues to condense, forming various monsters and weapons, fighting endlessly with Rong Yi.
"The universe is reversed, and the devil flames are burning the sky!" Lu Chenguang shouted loudly, and the devil energy in his body was boiling, and he actually constructed a huge black vortex in the void. In the center of the vortex, a devil flame that was enough to burn everything was burning fiercely, heading straight for Rong Yi.
Seeing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Rong Yi's eyes, but he did not retreat. Instead, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the golden light all over his body suddenly became stronger, as if all the power of the heaven was gathered on him.
"The light shines everywhere, and all evil is immune!" With a clear whistle, Rong Yi swung his sword forward. The golden sword light was as dazzling as the scorching sun, piercing through the black vortex and piercing the center of the devil flame.
The two collided, erupting with a deafening roar. Light and darkness intertwined, and the entire world changed color. Under the impact of this force, Lu Chenguang's demonic flame finally began to waver, and the black vortex gradually disintegrated. However, Rong Yi's figure, like a god of war, stood firm.
"Lu Chenguang, your end has come!" Rong Yi's voice was cold and firm. He swung the sword again. This time, wherever the sword passed, the demonic energy was swept away. Even Lu Chenguang's huge body began to crack, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Haha... Rong Yi, do you think you win like this?" Lu Chenguang's laughter was full of madness and unwillingness, but he also knew that he had reached the end of the road.
At the last moment, he tried his best to gather all the demonic energy into one point, forming a pitch-black demonic bead, and threw it towards Rong Yi.
However, Rong Yi was prepared. He waved his sleeve lightly, and the golden light enveloped the magic bead, slowly dissipating into nothingness: "Lu Chenguang, only by letting go of your obsession can you be free."
As the magic bead disappeared, the demonic energy in Lu Chenguang's body also quickly dissipated. He staggered and finally knelt on the ground powerlessly. There was no longer hatred and madness in his eyes, but unprecedented calmness and relief.
"So this is... the taste of failure..."
Rong Yi slowly stepped forward, saying nothing more. He simply raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted Lu Chenguang up, slowly carrying him away. He knew that for Lu Chenguang, the true punishment was not death, but endless reflection and redemption.
This earth-shaking battle gradually calmed down with Lu Chenguang's departure, leaving only the mess on the ground and the gradually dissipating golden and black light in the sky, witnessing this battle between good and evil.
Chuchu watched Lu Chenguang gradually disappear before her eyes, as if the entire world had lost its color in that moment. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, filled with an indescribable heartache and despair. She couldn't help but scream out, her voice filled with endless sorrow and unwillingness: "Lu Chenguang—!" Those three words, like a complete release of all her emotions, echoed in the empty sky, but she could never bring that man back.
The Heavenly Lord stood atop the clouds, aura of majesty and justice surrounding him. He spoke slowly, his voice piercing the clouds and resounding through the heavens: "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. This is the way of heaven. Princess Qingming, as the god of the underworld, you should understand this principle even more clearly. Demon Lord Lu Chenguang has reaped the fruits of his own evil deeds and fallen into the purgatory of the underworld. That is his deserved punishment. There he will endure endless suffering for ten thousand years, perhaps even tens of thousands of years, until he truly recognizes his mistakes."
All around, the heavenly soldiers and generals shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth. Their voices were filled with reverence for the Heavenly Sovereign and faith in justice: "The Heavenly Sovereign is mighty! Good will prevail over evil! The Heavenly Sovereign is mighty..."
Chu Chu's heart was hit hard, but she did not give up. She turned around resolutely, transformed into a red shadow, and rushed straight into the underworld. Returning to the familiar Pluto's Palace, she almost stumbled into the palace, anxiously looking for Pluto - her father.
"Father! Please save Lu Chenguang! He has fallen into the purgatory of the underworld. It is so cruel there, how can he bear it?" Chuchu's voice was filled with tears. She knelt in front of the King of Hell, clasped her hands together, and prayed to the only person who could change her fate.
The King of Hell felt a mixture of emotions as he watched his daughter in this state. He sighed and said earnestly, "Chu Chu, you're always like this, acting impulsively and without regard for the consequences. Lu Chenguang's challenge to the Heavenly Monarch is a blasphemous act, and he's courting his own death. Purgatory in the Underworld is his inevitable punishment. I cannot, and will not, easily change this decision."
There was a determined light in Chu's eyes. She knew Lu Chenguang's nature very well. His persistence and indomitable spirit for justice made her unable to believe that he would be a real villain.
"Father, listen to me. Lu Chenguang is innocent! He was once the Heavenly Sovereign Rong Lin, a revered hero from ten thousand years ago. But he fell into the devil's way because of Rong Yi's scheme. This time, he came here injured and was already at a disadvantage, but Rong Yi took advantage of the opportunity and cast him into purgatory. How could this be a fair fight? This is clearly a frame-up!"
Chuchu's emotions were a little agitated, but she tried to control them, hoping her father would understand her position. "Father, you are always perceptive and would not judge a person based solely on appearances. You must also know that Lu Chenguang is not a true demon. There is light in his heart, but it is temporarily obscured by darkness. So, when you proposed a marriage alliance with him, it was not because you truly wanted me to marry him, but because you wanted to use this opportunity to find a way to save me, correct?"
