The old man stood quietly to one side like an ancient guardian deity, his eyes sharp and vigilant, scanning the surroundings, not missing any corner that might be lurking with danger.
Once everything was ready, Xixi took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the spiritual spring, causing ripples to spread across the water.
Her hands moved swiftly, changing hand seals like lightning, as she began to guide the vast and boundless power of the spiritual spring, fusing and purifying it with her own and the fake S's power.
In an instant, the energy of the spiritual spring surged forth like a rushing river, converging on Xixi and tightly enveloping her body.
Her body was enveloped in a dazzling light, as bright as the blazing sun, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at her.
Xi Xi closed her eyes tightly, trying her best to control this powerful, almost out-of-control force. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her jaw was clenched, and every muscle was straining. She silently prayed that the ritual would be completed smoothly, completely eliminating the crisis brought about by the fake S and allowing the world to return to peace and tranquility.
The energy in the spiritual spring was like a raging torrent, wave after wave, relentlessly assaulting Xi Xi's body and consciousness.
Her body trembled slightly, like a leaf falling in the wind, yet she stood stubbornly in the storm of energy.
She gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead, blood vessels winding beneath her skin like small blue snakes. Each impact caused her excruciating pain, yet she steadfastly held onto her inner beliefs, doing her utmost to maintain this arduous and extraordinary process of fusion and purification.
As time slowly passed, Xi Xi gradually felt powerless. The power was too strong and violent, as if it wanted to tear her soul from her body. Her consciousness began to blur, as if she were on the edge of a dark abyss.
Chen Xiao immediately noticed Xi Xi's predicament from outside the formation. A resolute determination welled up in her heart, and she transferred her remaining power to her without hesitation.
She stretched her hands forward, her palms shimmering with a faint yet resolute light that extended towards Xixi like threads.
At the same time, she shouted, "Xixi, hang in there, we are with you!"
The sound echoed through the valley, full of power and encouragement.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, each mobilizing their own power. In an instant, multicolored light gathered around Xixi like a rainbow, weaving a magnificent and hopeful light screen to protect Xixi from the energy impact.
With everyone's concerted support, Xi Xi seemed to see a beacon of hope in the darkness and regained her composure.
Her consciousness delved into the core of the power, attempting to unravel the chaotic and tangled forces of good and evil.
The evil power of the fake S was like a black vine, winding and twisting, tightly binding her protective power. Each peeling was accompanied by excruciating pain, as if a thousand needles were piercing her soul, almost making her faint.
Suddenly, a wave of dark power surged from the bottom of the spring like a demon's giant claw, instantly transforming into a huge black vortex. The vortex seemed to be a gateway to an abyss of endless darkness, attempting to completely devour Xixi.
This is the remnant of the defiant will of the fake S, which, even in its desperate situation, is unwilling to be purified and merged, and attempts to make a final, death-defying struggle.
Xi Xi showed no sign of backing down; a firm belief burned within her.
She quickly mobilized the power of the spiritual spring, her hands moving rapidly in front of her chest to draw mysterious runes. The runes shimmered with golden light, instantly forming an indestructible light shield in front of her.
The light shield emitted a soft yet powerful glow, keeping the dark vortex at bay.
At the same time, she transformed her divine consciousness into an incomparably sharp blade, as if it could cleave the sky, and plunged into the vortex without hesitation.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Xi Xi's consciousness seemed to traverse the long river of time and space, witnessing the scene at the very beginning of the birth of the fake S.
It was a momentary lapse of judgment by the supreme deity, a slight imbalance like a scale, that led to a chaotic intertwining of good and evil, which in turn triggered a flood of subsequent calamities.
A deep sense of compassion welled up in her heart, a feeling that flowed like a warm current, making her even more determined to completely correct all of this.
After a long and arduous tug-of-war, Xi Xi finally managed to separate the last trace of evil power from her protective force through her tenacious perseverance and unwavering faith.
Then, she began the fusion process.
The light in the spiritual spring, which was initially chaotic and disordered, like the surface of the sea in a storm, gradually became pure and bright, like a dazzling star shining in the valley. The light illuminated the entire Spirit Void Valley and dispelled all the gloom and darkness.
After the fusion was completed, Xi Xi slowly rose from the spiritual spring. Her aura was like fine wine that had been aged by time, becoming more mellow and powerful. Her eyes were clear and peaceful, as if she had experienced a rebirth, washing away all the superficiality, leaving only her pure heart and belief in protecting the world.
Everyone rushed forward, their faces full of joy and concern.
Xi Xi looked at them, a slight smile playing on her lips, as warm as a spring breeze. She said softly, "It's all over. The world will no longer be in chaos, and I will protect this land with a completely new attitude."
After hearing this, Chen Xiao felt even more that something was wrong with Xi Xi.
Ever since Xixi descended from the sky in the south, she has always had a serene and otherworldly appearance, like a fairy who is untouched by worldly affairs.
During this time together, Xixi has been calm and composed, always able to remain calm and handle things on her own when faced with danger, which is truly admirable.
However, the Xi Xi she remembered was not like this.
