Prairie Fire, Sword Sings in the Nine Heavens!
Before the aftershocks of the ancient bronze sword had even dissipated, the ruins of the Primordial Origin World suddenly trembled violently.
New shoots, rooted in scorched earth, burst forth with Hundun Clear Light; within the dewdrops held aloft by tender leaves, miniature sacred trees grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Demon Leader's severed body suddenly exploded, and the splattered blood transformed into thousands of blood-eyed crows, which swooped down madly towards the new sprout.
"Don't even think about it!"
The Azure Lotus Dao Embryo transformed back into human form, and the Hundun fire at its fingertips condensed into a seven-stringed ancient zither.
The moment the strings were plucked, a clear and melodious sword cry echoed from the depths of the Bei Ming Star Region —the purifying sword intent that Bai Zhuo had sealed away years ago had finally awakened!
At the center of the charred core of the Northern Darkness, a phantom of a blue lotus suddenly bloomed, Bai Zhuo white sword intent, carrying fragments of the star core, soared into the sky.
The sword light pierced through 100,000 blood crows, writing the "Chaos Purification Scroll" in the void.
The moment the demonic blood touched the inscription, it was transformed into pure Hundun spiritual energy.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Zhuo..." A look of pity flashed in Qinglian Daotai's eyes, and the sound of her zither suddenly became urgent.
The 36,000 Hundun Stars floating in the heavens were summoned and fell like meteors towards the Blood Ravens.
Each spark that touched the Blood Raven exploded into a lotus of fire, burning the miasma of the Void into brilliant stardust.
The shattered head of the Demon King was reassembled in the stardust, and nine bone pythons emerged from his neck:
"The eternal night will never end, we..." Before he could finish speaking, the miniature divine tree in the dewdrop of the new bud suddenly shot out roots that pierced through his vertical pupil between his eyebrows!
The demon leader, pierced by the roots, convulsed violently, and thick black blood gushed from his body.
Emerging from the black blood was the true spirit of Six-Eared Macaque, bound by chains, each chain entwined with the inscriptions of the Guixu Stele.
The Azure Lotus Dao Embryo fiercely tore off its three fundamental life bones, the bone fragments transforming into a Dao Severing Guillotine that cleaved the chains.
"No way—!"
Suddenly, the void split open, revealing the Return to Nothingness Passage, and three coffins of bronze pierced through the air and arrived.
Tentacles entwined with the Eternally Silent Qi extended from the coffin, corroding the Dao Severing Guillotine into molten iron.
The Azure Lotus Dao Embryo coughed up blood from its seven orifices, but then it saw the miniature divine tree in the dewdrop of the new bud suddenly open its Reincarnation Demon Eye —it was the right eye that Six-Eared Macaque had shattered back then!
"Foolish child, watch carefully."
The voice of Six-Eared Macaque resounded throughout the starry sea, and the roots of the miniature divine tree pierced through the river of time and space.
Suddenly, the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo had an epiphany. Hundun Chaos Fire at his fingertips condensed into a phantom of the Hun Tian Cudgel and slammed down heavily towards the top of his head!
The Dao Embryo's body exploded with a roar, and the bursting Chaos Essence Blood watered the new sprout.
The seven withered leaves unfurled anew, their veins carrying the memories of Six-Eared Macaque spanning eras.
The leader of the Heavenly Demons let out a desperate roar as his Seed of Eternal Silence was being devoured by the roots of the newly grown divine tree.
The three giant bronze coffins suddenly merged, transforming into the Eternal Silence Compass that blots out the sky.
The surface of the disc revealed the corrupted roots of the Hundun Mother Tree, each growth ring etched with decadent Dao patterns.
The Six-Eared Macaque True Spirit laughed loudly amidst the sound of breaking chains, "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"
The roots of the newly grown sacred tree suddenly pierced into the Eternal Silence Compass, greedily sucking up the decaying essence left by the Mother Tree.
The remaining soul of the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo witnessed a horrifying truth: the so-called Heavenly Demon was actually a cleaner created by the Mother Tree to purify itself!
When the last trace of decay was purified, countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Eternal Silence Compass.
The Six-Eared Macaque True Spirit broke free of its shackles and perfectly merged with the newly sprouted divine tree. "This is the true cycle of Hundun."
The demon army vanished into thin air amidst wails, and the shattered stars of the Primordial Origin World began to repair themselves.
The soul of the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo transformed into Liu Guang and merged into the core of the Northern Darkness Star, where the Bai Zhuo sword intent gave birth to the innate sword embryo.
Deep within the void, the nine rifts of the Returning Ruins quietly closed.
Through the last gap, one could vaguely see Xuanji Zi controlling the new bronze coffin, inside which slept an infant with the mark of the Chaos Dao Embryo embedded between its brows.
A blinding blue light burst forth from the depths of the Northern Darkness Star Core. The moment the innate sword embryo emerged from its cocoon, all the remaining swords in the entire star field trembled simultaneously.
Bai Zhuo white phantom appeared amidst the sword light. His tattered battle robe was still stained with the blood of the Heavenly Demon, yet his fingertips were condensed with the purest Chaos Sword Qi.
"Ten thousand swords... return to their origin!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the illusory figure transformed the shattered star fragments into ten thousand sword-shaped meteors.
The rotten bone barrier erected by the remnants of the Heavenly Demon army was pierced by the rain of swords. The twisted demons peeled away layer by layer in the sword energy, revealing the eternally silent fragments pulsating at their core.
The remaining divine soul of the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo was attached to the Sword Embryo. He saw that every fragment reflected Xuanji Zi's sinister smile.
He caused the roots of the newly grown sacred tree to entwine around the sword hilt, and the Hundun dew on the leaves flowed along the spine of the sword. "This sword severs cause and effect!"
The moment the sword light touched the fragment of Eternal Silence, nine layers of bronze doors suddenly appeared in the void.
The black mist seeping from the crack in the door condensed into the physical form of Xuanji Zi. On the surface of the coffin he was standing on, the fist imprint left by Six-Eared Macaque Er was clearly visible.
"Whose karma do you think you've severed?"
Xuanji Zi lifted the coffin lid, and inside lay three hundred and sixty replicas of the Chaos Dao Embryo.
Each Dao Embryo has a blood-red star embedded between its eyebrows, connected to each other by the Void Chain, forming a god-slaying array that covers the heavens.
The Six-Eared Macaque True Spirit manifested from the divine tree, and the Dao patterns on its newly formed body resonated with the coffin.
He reached out to grab the nearest bronze door, but his fingertips were pierced by spikes that suddenly appeared—the surface of those doors was inlaid with the skulls of successive generations of demonic ape descendants!
"The battle begins!"
Xuanji Zi made a hand Mystic Arts, and all 360 Dao embryos opened their eyes simultaneously.
Chains wrapped in the aura of the void shot out from their palms, pinning Six-Eared Macaque to the center of the void chessboard.
The chessboard has nineteen lines, each line flowing with the sap of the corrupted Mother Tree of Hundun.
When Six-Eared Macaque was pierced through the shoulder blade by the Guixu Chain, the golden blood gushing from the wound condensed into three thousand Dao soldiers, each wielding a Hun Tian Cudgel Staff, and launched a counterattack against the core of the great formation.
The epochal Nascent Soul summoned by Xuanji Zi, the "Sky -Heaven Splitting Halberd," cleaved through a three-thousand-mile star field.
The halberd blade was bitten by Six-Eared Macaque with his teeth, chewed up and swallowed whole.
The void ignited by the Dao Fire continued to burn, and the afterimages of successive generations of Demon Ape disciples assisting in the battle were reflected in the flames.
The Dao patterns on Six-Eared Macaque suddenly ignited, shattering three stars that served as chess pieces. "Heaven and earth are the game board, and I will overturn it!"
He tore off the burning Dao patterns and threw them into the void, from which nine golden crows leaped out of the Hundun fire.
The crow's cry shattered the seven Dao embryos, Sun True Fire stirred up by its wings was instead absorbed by the chains of the Void.
The bronze doors behind Xuanji Zi opened one after another, and from behind each door emerged the most powerful weapons of different eras.
A giant axe, shrouded in the primordial chaos, cleaved toward Six-Eared Macaque Tian Ling, but he withstood it with the vine armor woven from the roots of the divine tree.
The sparks generated by the friction between the axe blade and the rattan armor ignited an inextinguishable Dao fire in the void.
The roots of the newly grown divine tree suddenly pierced through Six-Eared Macaque's chest, connecting him with the three hundred and sixty Dao embryos.
Sensing the danger, the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo automatically split into 36,000 sword shadows, each piercing a section of the root system: "Master, your disciple will help you break free of your shackles!"
The residual pollution from the Hundun Mother Tree flowed backward along the root system and condensed into a pitch-black Dao Seed in the Six-Eared Macaque Purple Mansion.
His left eye suddenly burst forth with eternal black light, while his right eye flowed with Hundun blue light. "So that's how it is..." He formed the Taichu Magic Seal with both hands and pressed the Dao Seed into his own heart!
Xuanji Zi's maniacal laughter suddenly froze, and the Coffin of Ending beneath his feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
Six-Eared Macaque's body was covered in cracked Dao patterns, each crack gushing out Chaos True Fire that purified all things. "Why do you think I allowed you to collect the source of pollution?"
The Coffin of Ending melted in the true fire, and the three hundred and sixty Dao Embryos transformed into pure Hundun spiritual energy.
Xuanji Zi tried to escape into the bronze door, but his limbs were bitten by the skull embedded in the door.
The shattered body of Six-Eared Macaque was reassembled in the firelight, and the newborn body was entwined with nine true dragons formed from the laws of different eras.
"It's time to end this."
Six-Eared Macaque creature treads on Hundun, holding up a newly born universe.
Within the universe in the palm of his hand, thirty-six bronze celestial staircases rose, each suppressing a fragment of eternal silence.
Xuanji Zi was absorbed into the core of the universe and began to be irreversibly annihilated under the laws of rebirth.
The Azure Lotus Sword Embryo flew automatically to the edge of the universe, and Hundun branches grew from its blade.
As the first rays of dawn pierced the darkness of the Ruins of Return, Chaos Green Lotus bloomed across the ruins of the Primordial Origin World, stretching for thousands of miles.
Within each lotus flower slumber countless beings from all realms, awaiting their revival...
The delicate fragrance released when the blue lotus bloomed caused the shattered Bei Ming Star Region to reform, and various Hundun spiritual herbs sprouted on the surface of the stars.
