The Final Curtain Falls

"Human, I want you dead!"

No longer referring to herself as "I," but as "me," it's clear that Taotie has placed Fu Hua on an equal footing.

The Dark Radiance contracted violently, and the powerful energy reaction became slightly disordered. Fu Hua frowned, wanting to repel the Taotie and get away, but how could the Taotie let her have her way?

Continuing to stay close, their fists and feet seemed glued to the Fu Hua sword. If you pushed away, I would stick to you. There was also a faint suction force, as the Taotie was absorbing the power of heaven and earth from the Fu Hua sword.

A self-destruction using the power of heaven and earth could completely kill Fu Hua; she currently has no means of defending against such an explosion.

Fu Hua understood, but she couldn't get rid of Taotie now either. Before, Fu Hua was chasing after Taotie, but now Taotie was sticking to her.

"Hahahaha! Human, this is your final fate!"

The dark light began to dazzle. Taotie reached out and grabbed the illusory sword in Fu Hua's hand. It was illusory but not illusory, just like a real sword. The sound of metal and stone clashing between the palm and the blade was heard, and sparks flew.

Unable to draw her sword, Fu Hua wanted to dispel the illusory sword, but without it, Taotie would be much less wary of her, and perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way, with them both perishing.

Moreover, this cannot be called mutual destruction. The Taotie still has a chance to survive after its self-destruction, but Fu Hua is in extreme danger.

The illusory sword flashed again, and heavenly fire flowed along its blade towards the Taotie, where it was absorbed as expected. Fu Hua's eyes darkened.

"I told you, your flames are no longer effective against me."

Fu Hua pressed her lips together tightly and remained silent.

However, the energy on the illusory sword remained surging and continuous.

"Hahaha! Are you replenishing my energy? Such pure energy is enough to heal 30% of my injuries!"

Visibly, the wounds on the Taotie's body showed signs of healing, just as it had said, as it absorbed this pure energy and was constantly regaining its strength.

As its strength recovered, the dark light gradually weakened.

The gluttonous beast has now decided not to destroy itself; instead, it will devour all of Fu Hua's energy to atone for the sins she has committed.

"I don't intend to let you die so easily now. I want to drain you dry, bit by bit, and watch your eyes turn from hope to despair. That must taste delicious!"

Fu Hua "..."

Taotie continued speaking arrogantly, completely unaware that along with the energy absorbed into its body by the Heavenly Fire, there was also an imperceptible Black Energy.

Very little, each output is controlled to a tiny fraction.

But even such a tiny amount, slowly accumulating, can instantly kill or kill a person.

That wisp of Black Energy represents the energy of death.

The black mist of the Herrscher of Death was transformed into energy by Fu Hua, merging into the Heavenly Fire and continuously flowing into the body of the Taotie.

Since the other party wants her energy so much, then let's just give it to it, as long as it can handle it.

Being able to eat is one thing, but being able to digest it is another.

The illusory sword began to truly become illusory, seemingly unable to maintain its form due to insufficient energy. Upon seeing this, the Taotie was overjoyed and devoured it without any restraint, again and again, bite after bite.

As the gluttonous beast devoured it, the illusory sword was almost completely obscured from its original form, leaving only a sword shape made of energy.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

With only three more seconds to hold on, the illusory sword completely collapsed, and a victorious smile appeared on Taotie's face.

At the same time, the dark light surrounding the two was completely absorbed into the Taotie's body. Fu Hua glanced sideways, her expression slightly shifting.

"Human, do you think you can still escape!"

A hint of crimson flashed in Fu Hua's red eyes, her expression tense.

"Xiao Xuan!"

"Here you are, Immortal! Hey!"

Spatial transfer, activation

Whoosh!

"Um?"

Taotie looked at its palm in confusion. The tangible sensation disappeared, and Fu Hua's figure vanished from its sight. Just as it was wondering where Fu Hua had gone, a heavy, unassuming aura came from behind it, carrying a familiar feeling to Taotie.

That sword strike once again drew upon the power of heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to collapse instantly—heavy yet without edge.

The Taotie's spirit throbbed with pain; there... the marks of that Sword Slash still remained, and even its healed body throbbed with tearing pain.

Fu Hua still wielded the illusory sword, its power vast and boundless. Countless fiery feathers spontaneously ignited from the void, their myriad forms pointing directly at the Taotie.

Fire Feather Sword Forest

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ten thousand swords erupted, and heavenly fire completely dyed half the universe crimson.

Black and red, death and life, prey and hunter

Sometimes, it just happens that suddenly.

The Taotie was terrified, turned around and gathered its power, forming a shield of dark light in front of it.

The swords struck the shield, producing a clear, melodious sound, yet it made the Taotie feel as if it were standing in a freezing pool.

A thousand swords, ten thousand swords—these are just figurative numbers. Even Fu Hua doesn't know the actual number. She simply unleashed her full power with all her might, holding nothing back and going all out.

After being bombarded for a full minute, the dark light dimmed, as if it might dissipate at any moment. The sword forest covering half the sky had completed its mission, and the crimson light fell.

Taotie thought it was the end, only to discover that it was just the beginning.

Beginning and End

Following the Fire Feather Sword Forest was the sword strike that truly terrified the Gluttonous Beast.

Taixu Sword God

A sword descended from the void, its tip aimed at the top of the Taotie's head.

Fu Hua's crimson eyes burned with fire, and she raised the illusory sword high above her head. As she moved, the sword in the void began to move.

The true Taixu Sword God, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, delivers a fatal blow.

Undefendable, unstoppable

With a single sword strike, nothing can stand in its way.

Boom!

There was a sound, yet it seemed to be silent.

The Taotie maintained its upward gaze, and the light in its dark golden eyes gradually dimmed. As the ethereal spiritual fire flickered, a sudden gust of wind blew by, extinguishing the spiritual fire.

Externally, the Taotie's body began to collapse, from the inside out; the groundwork laid earlier was starting to take effect.

The power of death, the power of heavenly fire

The body dies and decays, heavenly fire scorches the bones and muscles.

The raging Lie Yan completely enveloped the Taotie's body, crackling continuously. A tempting aroma of meat seemed to waft from the tip of the nose; the Taotie's meat was indeed quite delicious.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The flames burned for a full ten minutes before completely turning into an unrecognizable mass, covered in streaks of death, a truly horrifying sight.

Before Fu Hua could react, the mass enveloped in heavenly fire and death flew straight into her body.

In an instant, the energy began to rage, and Fu Hua's face contorted in pain.

The Book of Cang Xuan appeared.

While Fu Hua and Taotie were locked in a tug-of-war, the Book of Cang Xuan had already arrived nearby. It secretly contacted Fu Hua, which led to the scene described earlier.

"Don't come any closer!"

Fu Hua gritted his teeth and suppressed the surging energy within his body. The Source Power in his dantian began to flow, and the pure and clean Source Power continuously devoured this suddenly increased energy.

While absorbing, it also regulates the meridians.

Fu Hua's injured internal organs also instantly recovered under the influence of this energy.

—What terrifying energy!

This is probably the energy refined from that Taotie clone, and because of the burning of heavenly fire, the purity of the energy is a hundred times that of ordinary energy.

Such pure energy eventually condensed into a shape the size of an egg.

The sudden influx of so much energy into her body caught Fu Hua completely off guard, and her meridians became clogged with this unclaimed energy.

Fortunately, the Source Power was there, rapidly devouring and absorbing this pure energy.

A tug-of-war raged between the Source Power within her body and the unclaimed energy, causing Fu Hua's face to flush red, turn pale, and then turn black in turns.

The colors shimmered continuously, like a palette, coloring Fu Hua's face with different hues.

Her body swelled continuously due to the blockage of energy, her skin cracked like metal, and countless capillaries burst with blood. In no time, Fu Hua was transformed into a blood-soaked figure.

"You blockhead, what are you doing..."

Fu Hua bit her lower lip tightly, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth, a metallic taste filling her mouth. But she had no time to care about that now; if she couldn't digest this energy, she would burst from its saturation.

At this moment, the power of heaven and earth can no longer be mobilized. It is likely that the Spirit of Dimensions, seeing that the dust has settled, dispersed the power of heaven and earth and coldly watched Fu Hua suffer at this moment.

Perhaps there was also a selfish motive: to let Fu Hua be stuffed to death, which would not only solve the problem of the Taotie's invasion, but also prevent Fu Hua from returning to its world after she grew up.

Spirit of Dimensions always consider their own world, since if the world is destroyed, it will also be devoured, so it's better to go all the way and eliminate the threat completely!

Fu Hua probably understood their current predicament. Just as Taotie said, once these outsiders were discovered by the Spirit of Dimensions, they would either be banished or annihilated.

After Taotie, it was her.

Fu Hua was well aware of this, but she never expected that this Spirit of Dimensions would do such a thing.

If you really want to kill her, don't remember any past kindness whatsoever!

If that's the case, then really don't blame her...

The pure energy that couldn't be channeled flowed through the meridians across the arm, then burst forth from the palm, instantly forming a sword.

Unlike the illusory sword, this sword was much more solid, its sharpness fully exposed, its blade piercing the skin. With a single strike, it cleaved through the surrounding vacuum.

At this moment, even the Spirit of Dimensions who were watching coldly could no longer sit idly by and wait for their doom. If things continued like this, Fu Hua would sever this universe with Sword Slash.

As she thought this, a wave surged through the air, and space began to undulate like waves. A mysterious force acted on Fu Hua, as if trying to imprison her. Suddenly, a crack opened in front of Fu Hua, revealing endless turbulent currents carrying fragments of time and space.

Space-Time Turbulence

Anyone who is not of great power will surely die once they enter.

The spirit of the Spirit of Dimensions remains ruthless; it doesn't want its world to be destroyed, yet it still desires to kill Fu Hua.

The Space-Time Turbulence was opened, and a suction force comparable to that of the Taotie immediately came. Fu Hua and the Book of Cang Xuan were inevitably sucked into it, and then the rift quickly closed.

The universe is calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

In the vacuum, another inexplicable wave spread out, continuously expanding until it enveloped the entire universe. The mysterious wave swept across the bodies of every living being.

Eventually, all was calm again.

Inside the Merlo Heavenly Court, Hexi gazed aimlessly at the starry sky, his expression suddenly turning solemn.

Behind him, Yan, dressed in a formal suit, walked slowly towards him.

"Heavenly Base King, what are you looking at?"

"What am I looking at? I don't know what I'm looking at either, it seems... I'm saying goodbye to someone."

"Saying goodbye to someone? Who is it?"

"Have no idea"

Hexi remained silent, and Yan was also at a loss for words.

However, just like Hexi, Yan also seemed to feel that she should bid farewell to someone, but the image of that person was gradually becoming blurred in her memory.

Ambiguous, dreamlike

In an unknown land, amidst the darkness, a tremendous sound resounded, like the breath of some creature. In the midst of this stillness, a pair of dark golden beast eyes suddenly opened.

The darkness was pierced, and if Fu Hua were here, she would definitely recognize it as the Taotie, only this one had an even more oppressive aura than the previous one.

"The spirit I placed on my clone has been destroyed. Who was it? Whoever it was, I will make them pay the price."

Accompanied by a dull thud, a cry of pain rang out; a wisp of spirit was extinguished, ultimately harming its true form.

As darkness fell silent, the dark golden beast eyes closed. What it needed to do most now was to stabilize the spirit of its main body. Because the spirit of its clone had been destroyed, it was in turmoil, and if it was not stabilized in time, it might affect its main body.

PS: Tsk tsk! It's finally over. Time to get ready for the final chapters of the Douluo Continent!
