Ye Xuan's voice exploded in the empty space like thunder, her eyes flashing with anxiety and determination: "Brother, stop! You can't destroy this formation impulsively like this! Once you do this, the balance of the six realms will completely collapse. We may not care about our own life and death, but have you ever thought that it will mean that the princess may also die, and everything we have done will come to nothing!" Her tone was full of fear of unknown consequences and deep concern for her loved ones.
Qingtian then stepped forward, his voice steady and powerful, "Demon Lord, please reconsider. The Princess is now closely connected to the Qiankun Liuhe Formation. Her aura has been completely absorbed into the formation, as if she has become part of this immense force. Not only is she the Spirit Lord of the Chongming Bird Clan, she also carries the dual bloodlines of the Demon Clan and the Underworld. Add to this her millennia of cultivation in the Underworld and the physical body she used to endure tribulations in the human world. All of this makes her situation extremely complex and delicate. Any rash action could lead to unpredictable consequences, or even the complete disappearance of the Princess."
Tian Yi nodded in agreement, his tone filled with worry, "Yes, Demon Lord. We must analyze this calmly and find a more reliable solution. The safety of the princess is of paramount importance. We cannot put her in greater danger due to a momentary impulse."
Yan Lie also seemed a little at a loss at this moment. He had never expected that things would develop to this point.
Unexpectedly, the princess had become part of the formation. Holding back his grief, he said solemnly, "Demon Lord, perhaps we can temporarily put aside our current predicament and head to Jiayang Mountain to investigate. The Chongming Bird Clan has a long history and a rich collection of books. Perhaps there we can find the key to solving this mystery and a way to save the princess."
Lu Chenguang's face, shrouded in the dim light, seemed even darker, as if a thick, dark cloud obscured the sky. The black, demonic energy surrounding him surged like a violent storm beneath the deep night sky, silently revealing the turmoil and struggle within him. Rage and resentment mingled in his eyes, as if a destructive storm could ignite at any moment.
"If it's ruined, it's ruined!" He suddenly erupted in a deep and powerful voice, with unquestionable determination, "These insignificant ants are nothing but fleeting dust. Do you think I would hesitate because of this? Humph, you underestimate me too much. Just because you can't sense her presence doesn't mean I can't!"
Upon hearing this, Qingtian's eyes flashed with hope, and he hurriedly asked: "Demon Lord, can you really sense the breath of the Princess? This is simply..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden bird song.
A dazzling array of lights poured down from the sky like a meteor shower. They were the Chongming birds, gathering at astonishing speed, their wings flapping the air with a deafening roar, instantly filling the air above the Qiankun Liuhe Formation. These beautiful creatures, now filled with unprecedented resolve and fury, circled and chirped, as if challenging the formation in this most primitive of ways.
The blue shadow fluttered its gorgeous wings and slowly landed in front of Lu Chenguang, with determination and loyalty flashing in its eyes.
Lan Ying lightly touched the ground with his wings, expressing his respect and request in a gesture that was almost kneeling. "Demon Lord, we, the Chongming Bird Clan, are willing to cooperate with you! We possess the ancient soul-binding technique, capable of gathering the fragments of the Spirit Lord's soul, even within this Qiankun Liuhe Formation. As long as we can safely bring her soul to Jiayang Mountain, where the spiritual energy is abundant, it will be enough for the Spirit Lord to recuperate for ten thousand years, eventually returning to her original divine form and being reborn!"
Lu Chenguang's eyes were like an icy abyss, without the slightest fluctuation. His already handsome face looked even more sinister under the influence of anger, as if even the air around him had solidified.
Deep within his eyes, a purple light shone as bright and dazzling as stars, a light imbued with ancient power and boundless rage. He slowly spread his arms, his fingers trembling as if summoning some unspeakable power, and he muttered an ancient spell, each syllable carrying the power to annihilate the world.
At this critical moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and auspicious clouds swirled. Emperor Xuanyu stepped on the auspicious clouds, like a god descending from heaven. Behind him followed countless heavenly soldiers and generals. The scene was magnificent and shocking.
Emperor Xuanyu's voice pierced through the clouds and resounded throughout the sky, carrying an irresistible majesty: "Stop, you can't make any more mistakes!"
He waved his long sleeves, and a tremendous amount of immortal power surged. The hole in the Qiankun Liuhe Formation that had just been forcibly torn open by Lu Chenguang miraculously healed again, as if it had never been touched.
Lu Chenguang turned around suddenly, his anger sweeping over him like a storm, his eyes were already scarlet, like the fire of hell burning.
"Why are you stopping me!" His voice was hoarse and low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Emperor Xuanyu's face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a deep sorrow. Emperor Xuanyu said, "How could I not stop you? You have fallen into the devil's way, and now you have no remorse! You destroyed this formation today just to save one person. What will become of the people of this world?"
Lu Chenguang laughed wildly, his eyes bloodshot as he asked in deep sorrow, "I am only fighting for one person. What do the people of the world have to do with me? I can't even protect one person, so how can I protect the people of the world? Where were you when the people forced me to join the devil's way? Where were you when I was wronged? The people! Why don't you sacrifice yourself for the people of the world!"
"Although she is the Spirit Lord of the Chongming Bird Clan, she is also a member of the Guardians of the Six Realms. She descended to the mortal world due to personal feelings and was reborn after experiencing tribulations. This is already against the will of Heaven. Now, she should return to her original position instead of being forcibly interfered with by you."
Hearing this, Lu Chenguang curled his lips into a cold smile, filled with bitterness and sarcasm. "You said she should abide by the Way of Heaven, but who will uphold the injustices I've suffered all these years? I was forced into the devil's way and lost everything. Now she's all I have left, and you want me to give up? Humph, the Way of Heaven you speak of is nothing but shackles used by you high-ranking gods to bind others!"
"You sanctimonious hypocrite! Now you're using the common people as an excuse! Where were you when the common people forced me into the devil's way? Where were you when I was wrongly accused and fell into the devil's lair?"
Emperor Xuanyu shook his head, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness: "You are wrong. Heaven is ruthless, but it also has compassion. It does not favor anyone, nor will it abandon any living being. The reason she is where she is today is because she has love, righteousness, and responsibility in her heart. If you insist on having your own way, you will only lead yourself into an irretrievable situation."
Lu Chenguang's laughter suddenly became wild and piercing. "Eternal damnation? So what! As long as I can save her, even if it means becoming an enemy of the six realms, I will do it! As for you, Emperor Xuanyu, if you try to stop me today, I will drag you down with me to my grave!"
As he spoke, his entire body transformed into a thick black mist, losing his physical form. He was like the god of death from the underworld, walking among the crowd. His voice pierced the heavens and the earth, filling people with fear, as if the entire world was shrouded in deathly silence and despair.
Emperor Xuanyu said angrily, "Then don't blame me for being merciless! Today, I will eliminate the demons for the six realms!"
