Chapter 83: Balance of Power
As Chu Yun's words of "judgment," calm and emotionless yet filled with supreme majesty, resounded across this blood-red world, the Grand Master Xuan Tianji, whose heart had always been aloof, filled with absolute confidence and control, for the first time, was overcome with a wave of panic. He knew he was wrong. He had been utterly wrong from the start. He shouldn't have treated a young man, possessing the "power of creation" that even he so desperately desired, as a mere "ant" to be crushed at will. He should have used all his might upon their first encounter, completely eradicating this crucial "variable." But now, it was too late. "Madman!" Xuan Tianji roared with fury and resentment. He no longer held back, nor did he hold back. He unleashed his unfathomable and boundless cultivation, along with the boundless evil energy he had drawn from the Blood Moon Formation, without reservation at this moment. “Boom!” A force of “Darkness of Order,” exponentially more terrifying than before and powerful enough to completely collapse the entire Sealed Land, surged from his body! He seemed to have transformed into an immense, all-consuming, all-absorbing energy black hole! “Even if you control the legendary ‘Power of Creation,’ so what?!” His voice was distorted by extreme anger. “Your realm is, after all, that of a humble ‘mortal’! And I am the ‘God,’ who will soon rule over everything! Today, I will show you with your own eyes the insurmountable chasm between mortal and divine!” He spoke, clasping his hands before his chest! “Heavenly Way: Annihilation!” Under his will, the vast black hole composed of the boundless “Darkness of Order” began to frantically collapse inward, shrink, and condense! Finally, it transformed into a slender strand as thin as a hair, emitting an extremely terrifying “black death light” that could completely annihilate space! Wherever that "death ray" passed, whether it was the solid, age-old glaciers or the thick earth; whether it was the light flowing in the air or the invisible laws of heaven and earth, it was mercilessly and completely "erased," as if it had never existed in this world. This was the most powerful and proud "Tao" of the Great Celestial Master Xuan Tianji. An unparalleled and domineering "Law of Ending" that completely "erased" at its root all that did not conform to his so-called "order"! Faced with this terrifying "black light" that would make any god or Buddha tremble in fear...
When Chu Yun's words of "judgment" that were so calm without a trace of emotion, yet full of supreme majesty, resounded between this bloody world, the heart of the great Taoist Xuan Tianji, which had always been high and mighty, full of absolute confidence and control, was filled with an emotion called "panic" for the first time.
He knew he was wrong.
It was terribly wrong from the start.
He shouldn't have treated a young man who possessed the "power of creation" that even he so desperately desired as an "ant" to be crushed at will. He should have used all his strength to completely eliminate this biggest "variable" when they first met.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
"madman!"
Xuan Tianji roared with fury and resentment. He no longer held back, nor did he hold back. He unleashed his unfathomable and boundless cultivation, along with the boundless demonic energy he had drawn from the Blood Moon Formation, at this moment, unleashing it all without reservation!
"boom--!"
A "Darkness of Order" several times more terrifying than before, powerful enough to completely collapse the entire sealed land, surged from his body! He seemed to have transformed into an immense, all-consuming, all-absorbing energy black hole!
"Even if you control the legendary 'Power of Creation', so what?!" His voice was distorted by extreme anger. "Your realm is, after all, only that of a lowly 'mortal'! And I am the 'God' who will soon rule over everything! Today, I will let you see with your own eyes the insurmountable chasm between mortals and gods!"
As he spoke, he suddenly clasped his hands together in front of his chest!
"Heavenly Dao: Annihilation!"
The massive black hole, formed from the boundless "Darkness of Order," began to crazily collapse inward, shrink, and condense under his will! Ultimately, it transformed into a slender hair-like ray, emitting an extremely terrifying "black death light" that was enough to completely obliterate space!
Wherever the "death ray" passed, whether it was the solid thousand-year-old glacier or the thick earth; whether it was the light flowing in the air or the invisible laws between heaven and earth, they were all ruthlessly and thoroughly "erased" by it, as if they had never existed in this world.
This was the most powerful and proudest "Tao" of the Great Celestial Master Xuan Tianji. It was an unparalleled and domineering "Law of Ending" that completely "erased" at its source all that did not conform to his so-called "order"!
Facing this terrifying "black death light" that was enough to terrify any god or Buddha, Chu Yun's face remained calm.
He just slowly raised his white and slender right hand, which seemed to contain the power of the whole world.
He summoned out the three evil-suppressing seals that had long since become one with him.
This time, they are no longer separate, broken fragments.
In his palm, they slowly pieced together and merged, and finally, they became a complete supreme jade pendant made entirely of an unknown golden divine jade that seemed to be made of light, and engraved with countless mysterious "Tao patterns" representing the origin of heaven and earth.
——The complete seal to suppress evil!
“Buzz!”
The moment the complete Evil-Suppressing Seal appeared, the entire world seemed to stand still. A vast and unrivaled divine power, capable of suppressing the ages and dominating the six realms, erupted from this small jade pendant!
Chu Yun held the complete Evil-Suppressing Seal in his hand. He could clearly feel the surging Taiyi Qi within him resonating perfectly with the ancient jade pendant. He felt as if he had become one with the entire world at that moment.
He is the sky, he is the earth, he is everything in this world.
He looked at the "black death light" that was shooting towards him, carrying an endless breath of destruction, and gently pushed forward the complete evil-suppressing seal in his hand.
"guard."
He still only uttered two words.
But this time, what he mobilized was no longer any single power, but a "Guardian Divine Light" that was more vast, more compassionate, and filled with endless will of "life"!
A golden, soft yet indestructible huge light curtain appeared in front of him, as if it was condensed from all the beautiful, kind, and hopeful "will" between heaven and earth!
Above that light curtain, the sun, moon, and stars are slowly moving, the mountains, rivers, and grass are growing vigorously, the birds, beasts, fish, and insects are running freely, and all living beings are living peacefully.
It is a picture of "the coexistence of all things" full of endless vitality and vigor!
That was the true "Dao" that Chu Yun had realized after experiencing all the pain and suffering. A "Law of Creation" that was completely opposite to the Great Heavenly Master's "Law of Ending" that wiped out everything!
"boom--!!!!!"
There are no fancy techniques and no room for dodging or evasion.
The black death light representing absolute "dead silence" and the golden light curtain representing endless "vitality" collided fiercely in this bloody sky and earth!
This is a fierce collision at the highest level and at the law level!
It's a showdown between "End" and "Creation"!
It is the collision of "Darkness of Order" and "Glory of the Guardian God"!
It is a fundamental battle of ideologies between a madman who dreams of becoming a "new god" and a "guardian" who has just awakened!
“Sizzle! Sizzle!”
A harsh sound, as if space was being constantly torn and rubbed, resounded throughout the entire sealed area!
The golden light and the black darkness eroded and devoured each other madly.
Every collision caused large areas of the surrounding thousand-year-old glaciers to collapse and shatter!
Every time they clashed, the huge seal suppressing the demon king beneath their feet would tremble and wail violently!
The entire world seemed to change color under the collision of these two terrifying forces that were enough to reshape everything!
"This...this...is this still a power that a human can possess?"
At the edge of the battlefield, Li Ge and Mo Li, who had already retreated hundreds of feet away, were so shocked by the devastating scene before them that they were completely numb.
They couldn't find any words to describe the horror of the battle before them. They only knew that if they were swept by even a trace of the golden or black light's aftermath, they would be instantly annihilated, leaving not even a trace of their existence.
"Break it for me...!"
At the center of the battlefield, Grand Master Xuan Tianji roared with resentment and madness. He couldn't accept that his proud "Law of Ending" could be so abruptly blocked by a mere "mortal" in his eyes!
He poured all his strength into that "black death light" without reservation!
The black death light grew more solid and terrifying! It began to suppress the golden light curtain bit by bit! The "symbiotic picture of all things" full of vitality began to show tiny cracks under the erosion of the ultimate "death silence" power!
"It's useless." Chu Yun looked at the crazy-looking Great Heavenly Master, his face still calm, "Your 'Tao' has been wrong from the beginning."
"What you call 'order' is nothing more than a 'grave' built on 'destruction'. And my 'Way' is 'hope' built on 'protection'."
"Perhaps, hope is fragile. Perhaps, hope can be easily swallowed by darkness."
In his eyes, there flashed a light that was extremely bright, extremely gentle, yet extremely determined.
"...But as long as there is one person willing to believe in it, it will never be extinguished."
As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his other hand and gently pressed it on the golden light curtain that was already covered with cracks.
"Everything... coexists."
"Taiyi...Return to Origin."
A more vast and pure Taiyi Qi, filled with endless power of "creation" and "harmony", burst out from his body!
The cracks on the golden light curtain, nourished by this power, healed and repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye! In fact, it became stronger and more brilliant than before!
balance of power!
After an earth-shattering collision, the awakened Chu Yun and the great Taoist priest with unfathomable strength actually formed a brief balance!
No one can do anything to anyone!
The battle instantly descended into a strange stalemate. Both sides frantically exerted all their might, attempting to completely overwhelm the other. But they also knew that without external intervention, this "confrontation" based on the laws of nature might continue forever.
Or, it will continue until the huge seal beneath their feet, which has long been unable to bear the burden and is suppressing the Demon King, completely collapses!
And in this earth-shaking confrontation, it fell into the most tense and critical stalemate moment.
"boom!!!!!"
A loud noise, duller and more terrifying than any previous collision, suddenly came from the deepest part of the glacier beneath their feet!
The entire sealed area seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible giant hand!
The huge seal that had suppressed the Demon King for thousands of years was finally completely...broken under the continuous impact of two creation-level forces!
"roar--!!!!!!!!!"
A terrifying roar filled with endless violence, endless madness, and endless desire for destruction, which did not belong to any living being in this world, rose into the sky from the depths of the broken seal!
The ancient demon king who had been sleeping for thousands of years woke up at this moment!
