Under the dim candlelight, Chuchu, Feng Wuhen, Yun Yi and Yuewu sat around an old wooden table, on which were scattered various fragments of ancient books, each page carrying traces of time and unknown mysteries.
Their faces were filled with exhaustion and anticipation. After countless readings and discussions of ancient books over the past few days, they finally discovered the secret method called "Stop Devil Technique" in a yellowed and almost forgotten scroll.
"The art of stopping gods is said to have been created by a powerful person in ancient times. It can temporarily stop everything in the world, making time seem to freeze at an instant." Lan Ying gently stroked the cover of the ancient book, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Chu Chu clenched her fists, her eyes showing determination: "No matter how difficult this secret technique is, no matter if he is Rong Lin or Lu Chenguang, I will give it a try." She
Everyone nodded, and the four decided to start preparing immediately, using this rare secret technique to break through the numerous blockades of Purgatory and rescue Lu Chenguang.
They studied every detail of the art of pacifying the gods, from ancient spells to complex formations, requiring meticulous care and precision in every step. Chuchu, relying on her keen sense of spiritual power, repeatedly pondered the mysteries of the art, striving for absolute certainty when performing it.
On a full-moon night, four people stood outside Purgatory in the underworld, surrounded by the swirling Netherworld air, as if it was the door to another world.
Lan Ying, Qingtian and Tianyi set up a complicated magic circle according to the guidance of the secret technique, while Chuchu stood in the center of the magic circle, closed her eyes and concentrated, ready to activate the legendary magic of stopping the gods.
As a low and long spell slowly came out of Chu Chu's mouth, the air around her began to tremble, as if even time itself had lost its fluidity at this moment.
Lan Ying and the other two immediately activated the magic circle, and saw a bright light. A huge light shield enveloped the four of them. At the same time, everything around them seemed to be paused, the Netherworld energy stopped flowing, and even the ghost fire in the distant underworld was frozen in mid-air.
Chu Chu took advantage of this brief crack in time, flashed, and turned into a stream of light and rushed into purgatory.
Inside the purgatory, flames were raging and wailing was everywhere, but at this moment, everything was still. Only Chuchu was wandering in this still world, searching for Lu Chenguang's whereabouts.
After a difficult search, Chuchu finally found the unconscious Lu Chenguang in a dark corner.
Delighted, she hurried forward, carefully carrying Lu Chenguang on her back, and prepared to return. However, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly broke the restraints of the spell, time began to flow again, and the terrifying scene of purgatory reappeared.
"Oh no, the Emperor has discovered it!" Tian Yi shouted anxiously outside the magic circle.
Chuchu's heart tightened, but she didn't hesitate. She gritted her teeth and, with all her strength, rushed towards the magic circle with Lu Chenguang. Lan Ying, Qingtian, and Tianyi also quickly adjusted the magic circle and prepared to support Chuchu.
Just when Chuchu was about to break out of purgatory, a majestic figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Tianjun.
Tianjun's face turned pale as he glared at Chuchu. His voice was as cold as ice. "How dare you enter Purgatory privately and use forbidden techniques? Do you know your crime?"
Chu Chu knew she had no way out and could only bite the bullet. She looked back at the Lord of Heaven: "Lord of Heaven, Lu Chenguang is innocent. I cannot bear to see him suffer. I am willing to bear all the consequences. I only ask that you let him live."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, "Forbidden techniques should not be used lightly. Since you have violated the Heavenly Rules, you must accept your punishment. Come, take Chu Chu back to the Underworld to await your fate."
Following the order from the Heavenly Lord, several Heavenly Lords immediately stepped forward and surrounded Chu Chu.
Seeing this, Chu Chu felt unwilling, but she also knew that she was powerless to resist at the moment and could only pin her hopes on a turnaround in the future.
On the way back to heaven, Chuchu took the opportunity to entrust Lu Chenguang to Qingtian and Tianyi, and asked them to send Lu Chenguang back to the human world safely first.
Qingtian and others nodded with tears in their eyes, watching Chuchu being taken away, suppressing their anger in their hearts.
As the Heavenly Lord's unquestionable order fell, the air around them seemed to freeze. Several Heavenly Soldiers in gorgeous armor quickly surrounded Chuchu. Their eyes showed both strict execution of the order and a hint of mixed emotions towards Chuchu, the former imperial princess.
Chuchu was quickly taken to heaven by the group.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, there was a sudden roar from the horizon, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.
Everyone looked up and saw an army formed by the energy of the underworld breaking through the air. Leading them was Hades, who was wearing a black robe, with a stern face and a look in his eyes that said no one should be violated.
"Lord of Heaven, how dare you touch my daughter!" The voice of the Hades was as cold as ice, instantly making the entire space tremble. He waved his hand, and the Netherworld army quickly dispersed, surrounding the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, forming a standoff.
The Heavenly Lord's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, but he quickly regained his composure. "Pluto, what are you trying to do by leading your troops into the Heaven Realm without permission?"
Hades sneered and looked at Chu Chu with a sharp gaze, "I came to save my daughter, do I need to ask your permission?"
Chuchu looked at her father, feeling a mixture of emotions. She had never imagined that her identity would bring about so much conflict and sacrifice. But at this moment, she was more worried about Lu Chenguang's safety and the greater disaster that this conflict might cause.
"Father, please take Lu Chenguang away first and leave this to me." Chu Chu said anxiously. She tried to calm down this meaningless fight in her own way.
Upon hearing this, Hades turned his gaze to Lan Ying, Qingtian and Tianyi, who were carefully guarding the unconscious Lu Chenguang.
"You, take him away." Hades ordered briefly.
Qingtian, Tianyi and Lanying immediately accepted the order. They looked at Chuchu with gratitude, then quickly activated the flying magic weapon, preparing to evacuate with Lu Chenguang.
However, the heavenly soldiers and generals would not let them leave easily. For a moment, the two sides were on the verge of a fight and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"King of Hell, if you insist on doing so, don't blame me for being rude!" The voice of the Lord of Heaven was full of threats.
The Hades snorted coldly, his form flashing as he charged directly at the Celestial Monarch. The two instantly engaged in a fierce mid-air battle. With a wave of his hands, the Hades' netherworld energy transformed into countless sharp blades, striking the Celestial Monarch. The Celestial Monarch, in turn, swung his longsword, its gleaming blades like dragons, shattering each one. Their speed was immense, their moves fierce, and each collision was accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the entire Celestial Realm.
Chuchu stood aside, extremely anxious. She knew that she could not intervene in this battle, and could only pray that her father could end it quickly. At the same time, she was also worried about Lu Chenguang's safety.
At this moment, an opportunity presented itself. Taking advantage of the Heavenly Monarch's unpreparedness, Hades suddenly unleashed a powerful Netherworld Palm, striking directly at the Heavenly Monarch's vital points. Though the Heavenly Monarch reacted quickly, he was still knocked back several steps by the force, his face pale.
Chu Chu took the opportunity to use her magic power to send Qingtian, Lan Ying, Tian Yi and Lu Chenguang into the human world.
And she began to flee towards Jiayang Mountain.
