Chapter 85: Fall of the False God
A resounding, crisp, shattering sound echoed through the heavens and earth. Like a death knell, it struck the self-important heart of Grand Celestial Master Xuan Tianji. The "False Heart of Heaven," upon which he had placed all his ambitions and hopes, the core of the "Blood Moon Transformation" ritual, shattered into a shower of glittering crystal fragments under Leng Mei's all-consuming blow. "Puff!" The Grand Celestial Master's seemingly assured body trembled violently! He spurted out a mouthful of blood, several times thicker than the one he had spat out during Chu Yun's counterattack, and even began to turn black. With this fatal blow, the once-strong energy connection between him and the towering Blood Moon formation was abruptly severed! His "black death light," which had once held Chu Yun in check, instantly dimmed as it lost its most crucial energy source. The "power of closure" within the light began to destabilize dramatically, a situation never before experienced! "No... no! This is impossible!" Xuan Tianji stared at the black power in his hand, rapidly becoming ethereal. For the first time, true terror crossed his face, a face long stoic after countless years. He had calculated everything: the destruction of the Evil Suppression Division, the fall of the Underworld, and even the greed of the Shadow Pavilion. He even factored in Chu Yun, the ultimate uncertainty, into his plans. In his eyes, everyone and everything were mere pawns on the chessboard of "becoming a god," to be discarded and manipulated at will. But for all his calculations, he hadn't anticipated that a tiny demon, someone he had never taken seriously, would dare to leap from the board and overturn his entire plan! This was the biggest, and only, flaw in his perfect plan. And in a duel of the magnitude of a battle between gods, even a tiny flaw could prove fatal. "Right now!" In the brief moment Xuan Tianji's mind was in turmoil over his plan's ruin, Chu Yun, whose dark golden eyes had been suppressed to the point of collapse, suddenly shone with an unprecedented light, blazing to the utmost! He knew that this was the only and final chance that the mysterious demon woman had created for him at a tragic cost! He must not let this heavy trust down! "Ah—!!!!" Chu Yun roared with fighting spirit! At this moment, he once again unreservedly burned his already exhausted, shattered body and soul! He concentrated all his newly awakened "creative power," the power that had merged with the heavens and the earth...
A crisp cracking sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
This voice was like a death knell, striking hard at the heart of the great Taoist Xuan Tianji, who thought he was a god.
The "Fake Heart of Heaven" on which he had placed all his ambitions and hopes, and which was the core of the "Blood Moon Changing the Sky" ritual, was shattered into sparkling crystal fragments all over the sky by Leng Mei's all-out attack.
"puff--!"
The Great Heavenly Master's body, which seemed to be sure of victory, suddenly trembled!
He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood. This blood was several times thicker than the one he spat out when Chu Yun counterattacked him before, and it had even begun to turn black.
With this fatal blow, the previously strong energy connection between him and the Sky-piercing Blood Moon Formation was abruptly severed! His "black death light" that had been suppressing Chu Yun also dimmed instantly due to the loss of its most crucial energy source. The "end" power contained in the light began to become violently unstable, which was unprecedented!
"No... No! This is impossible!"
Xuan Tianji looked at the black power in his hand that was rapidly becoming illusory, and for the first time, his face, which had lived for countless years and had long been calm, showed real fear!
He calculated everything: the destruction of the Evil Suppression Division, the fall of the Underworld, and even the greed of the Shadow Pavilion. He even factored Chu Yun, the biggest variable, into his plans. In his eyes, everyone and everything were mere pawns on the chessboard of "becoming a god," to be discarded and manipulated at will.
But he had planned everything, but he had never expected that a tiny demon tribe, whom he had never taken seriously, would dare to jump out from outside the chessboard and overturn his entire game!
This was the biggest and only loophole in his perfect plan.
And in a battle of this level, like a fight between gods, a tiny loophole is enough to be fatal.
"Right... now!"
In the brief moment when Xuan Tianji was in great confusion because his plan was ruined, Chu Yun, who was originally suppressed to the point of collapse, suddenly burst out with unprecedented light in his dim golden eyes, which was bright to the extreme!
He knew that this was the only and last chance that the mysterious demon woman had created for him at a terrible price!
He must not let down this heavy trust!
"ah--!!!!!"
Chu Yun roared with fighting spirit! At this moment, he once again burned his body and soul, which had long been exhausted and on the verge of breaking, without reservation!
He concentrated all of his newly awakened "creative power" that had become one with the heaven and earth into his right fist, which was already covered with cracks!
"Great Heavenly Master!"
He looked at the old monster with a face full of fear and unwillingness, and a resolute smile appeared on his face.
"The era of your so-called 'gods'... will be ended by me, personally!"
He put all his hopes, anger, and everything he wanted to protect into this final and strongest punch!
He fiercely blasted towards the black death light that was rapidly fading due to loss of energy!
This is the final counterattack from the abyss of despair!
"No--!"
Xuan Tianji looked at the golden fist that was moving forward unstoppably, as if carrying the vitality of the entire world. For the first time, his empty eyes revealed the fear and despair that only mortals could have!
He wants to hide and escape!
But he was locked down by Chu Yun's power which had been elevated to the level of law, and he could not move at all!
He could only watch as the dazzling golden fist, full of infinite vitality, heavily slammed into his "black death light" that had lost its foundation and was fragile!
"boom--!!!!!"
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a "hissing" sound like the sound of solid ice being melted by fire!
The power of "end" that was once unstoppable and capable of obliterating everything was unable to offer even the slightest resistance in front of the golden fist filled with the original "power of creation". It was completely shattered, purified, and finally turned into nothing!
After shattering the "black death light", the golden fist's power did not decrease at all, and it slammed heavily into Xuan Tianji's chest, which was filled with horror and disbelief!
"Bang--!"
There was a dull thud.
Xuan Tianji's body, which had lived for countless years, was directly knocked back by this punch! The purple star-shaped Taoist robe he had worn for countless years shattered inch by inch! His body, which was dry like tree bark, was covered with hideous golden cracks!
Golden blood continued to gush out of his mouth and those cracks crazily, making the bloody sky even more eerie!
He lost.
This old monster who had calculated the three realms and six paths and wanted to become a "new god" was ultimately defeated by a young guardian whom he had never taken seriously.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Xuan Tianji fell heavily onto the altar, which had long ceased to function. His eyes were filled with endless resentment and hatred. He looked at the equally shaky Chu Yun and roared with a vicious curse:
"You... you think... you won?! I am unkillable! As long as this world exists! I will never truly die! I will come back! When I come back, I will completely crush you and everything you hold dear! Tear it apart!"
After he finished speaking, his body, which was about to break apart, suddenly exploded with a "bang"!
He turned into countless black blood mists filled with vicious curses and resentment, and fled madly in all directions!
At the last moment, he actually chose to self-destruct his body so that his soul could escape!
As long as a trace of his soul can escape, he will have a chance to make a comeback!
"Want to leave?"
Chu Yun looked at the overwhelming black blood mist, and a cold smile appeared on his pale face.
"Did I allow it?"
He slowly raised the complete evil-suppressing seal that had long been in tune with his mind.
"In the name of 'Daoshu'."
"Command this world."
"--seal up!"
As this command filled with supreme majesty came down, this land that had long been sealed was as if it had heard the instructions of its true master!
Invisible golden chains of law emerged from the void! They intertwined with each other, instantly forming an impenetrable giant net that enveloped the entire altar!
The skynet trapped all the black blood mist that tried to escape within this small world!
The situation was completely reversed at this moment!
Chu Yun, with an absolute advantage, controlled the entire battle situation!
"No! This is impossible!"
Amidst the countless black blood mists, came Xuan Tianji's crazy roar filled with horror and disbelief.
"You...how could you possibly manipulate the laws of this world?! You're clearly not even an immortal!"
He couldn't understand, absolutely couldn't understand! Why did he, who had painstakingly planned for countless years and was only one step away from becoming a "new god", be completely crushed by a "mortal" in his own field?
Chu Yun didn't answer him.
He just used his golden eyes to look indifferently at the black blood mist that was being continuously compressed and purified by the chains of law.
He slowly raised his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and then gently clenched them.
"Refine."
“Aa ...
Accompanied by bursts of extremely shrill screams, the black blood mist trapped by the chains of law began to be forcibly refined and purified by an invisible force!
Xuan Tianji's immortal soul is being completely wiped out bit by bit!
"Chu Yun! You will not die well!"
At the last moment before being completely refined, Xuan Tianji used up his last spiritual power and uttered the most vicious curse!
"Did you think you saved everyone?! You're wrong! Look at that baby! Look at the baby born from the 'Heart of Heaven'! Hahaha! He was nurtured by me using your father's flesh and blood, the remaining soul of the Evil Suppression Division, and my own divinity... the most perfect 'vessel'! He's also the final escape route I prepared for myself!"
"He was born bearing all the karma between you and your father! He is you, and you are him! If you kill me, he will inherit all my 'evil'! Hahaha! You will personally create a true 'devil' more terrifying than me! You will live forever in the pain of loss and betrayal! This is my most vicious curse on you! Hahahaha——!"
Along with that crazy and vicious laughter, the last bit of Xuan Tianji's soul was finally completely refined and erased by the golden chain of law, and dissipated between heaven and earth.
And at this moment, the sleeping baby who had been quietly floating in the air, wrapped in a ball of soft golden light.
Slowly... he opened his eyes.
Those were a pair of...pure, impurity-free, obsidian-like... eyes.
