The faint golden light surrounding Ren Xiaoyao now resembled a fluttering golden battle banner engraved with High Antiquity and mysterious incantations. Each rune emanated an ancient and powerful aura, appearing and disappearing within the light, emitting a mysterious, distant, and stirring hum. This hum pierced through the thick darkness, like a resounding bell, awakening the power slumbering deep within the light, and playing for him a magnificent and stirring Battle Song.
His eyes were like the sharpest blade of Mysterious Iron in the cold night, not only firmly locking onto the direction where the Evil Emperor had disappeared, but also trying to penetrate the thick, inky darkness that seemed to possess its own consciousness and churn, to discern the evil conspiracy hidden within. This darkness was like a Primordial Chaos beast that had broken free of High Antiquity forbidden seal, surging and roaring wildly, each violent surge causing a violent distortion of space.
The dull rumble was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, or a deafening roar that shook the earth, trembling the entire world and causing all things to shiver under the pressure of this force.
In the depths of darkness, pairs of blood-red eyes, like Curse Nether Ghost Fire, flickered with an eerie light, slowly approaching in a strange yet orderly rhythm. As they drew near, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a layer of frost emitting a ghostly blue light condensed in the air. This frost seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly devouring the surrounding light, making it difficult to breathe. Every trace of cold felt as if it could freeze the soul, leaving icy marks on the skin.
At the same time, the eerie chanting grew increasingly urgent, as if countless vengeful spirits were breaking free from their restraints at the very bottom of the Nine Nether Hell. Their roars were intensely corrosive, piercing directly into Ren Xiaoyao's soul, causing his body to tremble slightly. The surrounding air seemed to be completely frozen by this evil power, emitting a faint but dense "crackling" sound. Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly through the air, and eerie purple arcs of electricity flickered within these cracks from time to time. These arcs, like nimble venomous snakes, meandered and writhed, seemingly about to tear the entire world apart and drag it into an endless Dark Abyss.
Suddenly, a blinding purple light, like Primordial Chaos sword that split the World Creation, tore through the thick, Dark Sky Curtain without warning.
The figure of the Evil Emperor suddenly appeared in the light. The moment he appeared, the surrounding space was as if it were violently distorted by an invisible demonic giant hand, and a deafening roar erupted. The sound seemed to shatter people's eardrums, and the resulting sonic shock caused the surrounding dark demonic energy to ripple.
Where space distorts, Black Cracks resemble the hideous wounds of a demon, constantly gushing out Black Demonic Qi carrying a strong, putrid stench.
These demonic energies roamed wildly as if they were alive, instantly swallowing up light wherever they went, turning everything into an eerie, pitch-black color. Even the flow of time seemed to be distorted by this evil power, becoming slow and chaotic. Small Black Hole appeared in the surrounding spacetime, from Black Hole came eerie roars, as if countless terrifying creatures were trapped inside, yearning to break free.
Ren Xiaoyao's pupils contracted sharply. With his rich combat experience and keen senses, he instantly detected the strange change in the aura emanating from the Evil Emperor.
The arrogant and domineering aura of the past No Existence, replaced by a rigid, mechanical feeling of being forcibly controlled by external forces.
The Evil Emperor's eyes were empty and lifeless, like two still, No Life pools. The eerie black patterns that roamed his body were like evil serpents, writhing and slithering beneath his skin. Each flash was accompanied by a faint hissing sound, as if telling an ancient and evil Curse. These patterns became clearer as the Evil Emperor's body swelled, and the Evil Aura he emitted became more and more intense.
The demonic energy around the Evil Emperor surged wildly, forming huge Black Vortex. Painful groans and desperate cries could be heard from within the vortexes, as if countless souls were being tortured inside.
" Ren Xiaoyao, prepare to die!" The Evil Emperor's voice seemed to pierce through layers of darkness from the deepest depths of the Nine Nether Hell, harsh and distorted, the final note carrying the shrieks of countless evil ghosts. This voice, as if possessing Demonic Power, caused the surrounding dark demonic energy to boil even more, forming huge Black Vortex that frantically devoured everything around them. From the center of the vortexes came bursts of shrill screams, as if countless trapped souls were suffering torture within them.
Before the words had completely faded, the Evil Emperor's body began to expand at an astonishing speed that was difficult to perceive with the naked eye. The demonic energy around him, like a completely enraged black tide, frantically gathered and swirled, forming enormous Black Vortex.
Purple arcs of electricity flickered at the edge of the vortex, like venomous snakes with bared fangs, roaming freely. Wherever they went, space was torn apart, and Black Flames with strong corrosive properties spewed out from the cracks. These flames carried an aura of destruction, seemingly dragging the entire world into an endless Dark Abyss.
The earth trembled violently under the impact of this powerful force, and distant mountains began to collapse. Huge rocks tumbled down like raindrops, stirring up clouds of dust that blotted out the sky. Amidst the billowing dust, rocks collided with each other, producing a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth themselves were trembling at this terrifying confrontation. The collapsing mountains triggered a series of chain reactions, and the river at the Foot of the Mountain was blocked by boulders, forming a huge barrier lake.
Corroded by dark demonic energy, the lake water turned pitch black, exuding a nauseating stench. Eerie bubbles rose to the surface, their bursts producing chilling sounds, as if countless evil creatures were struggling within. The dammed lake began to overflow, the black water flowing like black pythons, spreading towards the surrounding towns and villages. Wherever it went, everything was corroded, and life vanished in an instant.
The houses collapsed under the impact of the black water, and a pungent smell filled the streets. The once bustling town was instantly turned into a desolate ruin.
Ren Xiaoyao's mind went on high alert, knowing that the situation was extremely critical. Without hesitation, he instantly circulated his spiritual power, and in a flash, Golden Light Sword condensed in his hand.
On the sword's blade, ancient runes shone with dazzling light, radiating a sacred and fervent aura. Each rune seemed to proclaim the majesty and power of light, and they intertwined to form a mysterious and powerful array of light.
Golden light flowed ceaselessly between the runes like a nimble dragon, filling the air with a refreshing scent that seemed to purify all evil. At the hilt of the sword was a gem that emitted a soft glow, its light like warm sunlight, continuously providing Ren Xiaoyao with immense power, allowing him to feel the protection of ancient forces, as if countless heroic spirits of his ancestors were silently supporting him.
Just then, a sinister, piercing laugh echoed from the deepest part of the darkness, " Ren Xiaoyao, today is your day of reckoning! The Evil Emperor is nothing but a puppet manipulated by me. Now, let him and you vanish into nothingness together!"
With that chilling laughter, a gaunt, dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness. He wore a long black robe that seemed to devour all light; the robe fluttered in the darkness without wind, like an eerie black mist that constantly shifted into various grotesque faces.
These grotesque faces emitted shrill screams, as if cheering for the impending slaughter. The sounds were sharp and piercing, sending chills down one's spine. Each scream seemed to pierce the soul, leaving Dao Wound.
The hideous Bronze Mask on his face was carved with Demonic Runes, each Dao Patterns exuding a chilling aura, as if countless evil souls were trapped within it, trying to break free and letting out painful roars.
Only a pair of eerie green eyes were visible, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps, revealing endless evil and gloom. Deep within the pupils, countless Black Vortex spun rapidly, as if they could suck a person's soul into an endless Dark Abyss, subjecting them to endless torment.
This is the Dark Puppet, a Terrifying Existence that has lain dormant in the darkness for a thousand years, constantly absorbing countless evil powers.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding dark demonic energy seemed to find its home, frantically converging on him to form a massive black Demonic Clouds. From within the Demonic Clouds came intermittent wails and howls, as if countless wronged souls were suffering inhuman torment.
The Demonic Clouds churned and surged, from which countless Black Tentacles extended and spread in all directions.
Wherever these tentacles reach, everything is corroded into Void, and the space they touch ripples, like a canvas corroded by acid, constantly breaking and dissipating.
Below the Demonic Clouds, black demonic spheres were also forming, their interiors shimmering with an eerie purple light. If they were to explode, they would trigger a massive catastrophe.
The magic sphere was surrounded by rings of black energy, which contained powerful dark Demonic Power that stripped away all life wherever it went.
Dark Puppet's hands moved rapidly through the air, his ten fingers like nimble serpents, flying up and down at a speed that was dazzling to behold.
Black runes, carrying a nauseating stench, pierced the darkness like sharp arrows, heading straight for the Evil Emperor.
As the black runes eroded his body, the Evil Emperor's body swelled to an astonishing degree, and demonic energy, like a supervolcano about to erupt, spewed out from every pore of his body.
The surrounding space was twisted into a pretzel shape by this powerful Dark Power, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it would be completely torn apart at any moment and fall into the endless void.
Under the impact of this force, huge cracks appeared on the earth, from which Black Lava spewed out. Wherever the magma went, everything was corroded and destroyed. The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur mixed with a putrid stench, making it almost suffocating.
At the same time, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Black lightning bolts, like giant pythons, darted through the clouds, striking the ground from time to time and causing violent explosions.
The shockwave from the explosion hurled away boulders and dust, forming massive mushroom clouds. These clouds were mixed with Black Demonic Qi, which spread outwards. Wherever the demonic energy reached, plants withered instantly, and the land became barren, as if mercilessly swept by the scythe of Death God, its Breath of Life completely stripped away.
Under the corrosive influence of demonic energy, the once vibrant forest instantly transformed into a desolate, withered woodland, its branches twisted and deformed, as if telling tales of pain and despair.
The surrounding animals, shrouded in dark demonic energy, cried out in terror and fled in all directions, but were ultimately swallowed up by the Dark Power, leaving only mournful cries echoing in the darkness.
Ren Xiaoyao knew that the situation had reached a critical point. Once the Evil Emperor self-destructed, the destructive power generated would be enough to turn the entire battlefield into ruins, and countless innocent people in the surrounding area would be slaughtered in this disaster.
Without hesitation, he used his movement Movement Method, his entire body moving like a golden lightning bolt, rushing towards the Evil Emperor.
The Golden Light Sword streaked through the air, leaving a dazzling trail. Wherever the light touched, the dark demonic energy dissipated like snow meeting the blazing sun, and the surrounding space experienced a brief moment of calm under the pressure of his powerful aura.
However, just as he was about to approach the Evil Emperor, a powerful resistance rushed towards him, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall formed by Dark Power.
This resistance contained powerful dark Demonic Power, attempting to tear Ren Xiaoyao's body apart. Tiny wounds appeared on his skin, from which blood seeped out. The dark Demonic Power, like countless tiny insects, burrowed into his body along the wounds, corroding his meridians and internal organs, causing him excruciating pain.
The Dark Puppet would not easily let Ren Xiaoyao get what he wanted. He muttered incantations, obscure spells echoing in the darkness, as if summoning an even more powerful and terrifying evil force.
As the incantation rang out, the Evil Emperor's body instantly erupted with an incomparably powerful repulsive force, like a surging black storm, rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao with overwhelming force. Ren Xiaoyao felt an irresistible force crash heavily into him, and his whole body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.
As he flew backward, the space around him was severely distorted by this powerful force, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if space itself was wailing in pain.
Ren Xiaoyao traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the cracked ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. He groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, staining his chest red. Wisps of black smoke emanated from his wounds, as if Dark Power were trying to erode his body.
At the same time, the Dark Puppet's hands moved continuously, manipulating the surrounding Dark Power. Streaks of black lightning struck down from the void, instantly scorching the ground wherever they went, leaving behind large craters emitting black smoke. Black Flames also spewed out from the craters from time to time, spreading in all directions.
Wherever the Black Flames touched, the rocks on the ground instantly melted, forming a black lava lake. Bubbles rose from the lava lake from time to time, making gurgling sounds, as if countless evil creatures were struggling within it.
The edge of the lava lake continues to expand outward, rapidly eroding the land it touches and forming bottomless Black Hole. Faint, eerie howls emanate from these Black Hole, as if they connect to another terrifying world, sending chills down one's spine.
Around the Black Hole, distorted human faces appeared, uttering desperate cries as they tried to Black Hole, but were ultimately swallowed up by the Dark Power.
Dark Power ravaged the land, turning the once azure sky into an eerie dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
"Hahahaha! Ren Xiaoyao, you are nothing but an insignificant ant, yet you dare to try and stop a chariot with your bare hands? Today, you are doomed!"
The Dark Puppet's laughter echoed in the darkness, filled with mockery and madness, like sharp steel needles piercing Ren Xiaoyao's eardrums and causing a sharp pain in his head. Amidst the laughter, the dark demonic energy around the Dark Puppet grew even denser, forming enormous black Demon Hand that reached out to grab Ren Xiaoyao.
Wherever the Demon Hand went, space was severely distorted and deformed, emitting a low groan, as if space itself was groaning in pain.
The fingertips of the Demon Hand flickered with eerie purple arcs of electricity, which leaped and instantly corroded everything they touched.
Evil runes also appeared on the surface of the Demon Hand, shimmering with an eerie light that enhanced Demon Hand power.
As the Demon Hand approached Ren Xiaoyao, it released a powerful suction force, attempting to pull him into its Demon Hand and crush him completely.
Ren Xiaoyao endured the excruciating pain that felt like a thousand arrows piercing his body and slowly stood up.
He knew that to defeat the Dark Puppet, he had to find its fatal weakness.
Just then, his mind flashed back to his experience of obtaining mysterious power in the Ancient Ruins, a power that might be the key to turning the tide of the battle.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, unleashing all the mysterious power hidden within his body. In an instant, golden light, like a dazzling sun, illuminated the entire dark battlefield.
Within the light, ancient runes appeared and disappeared, intertwining to form a huge Golden Array Diagram that hovered above Ren Xiaoyao's head, constantly rotating and emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
Each rune in the array shone with a unique light, echoing each other to form an indestructible protective net, tightly guarding Ren Xiaoyao within it.
At the same time, a huge Golden Phantom appeared behind Ren Xiaoyao. The phantom held Golden Long Sword and exuded a sacred and majestic aura, as if it were the Incarnation of an ancient hero, cheering on Ren Xiaoyao.
The presence of the phantom made the surrounding light power even more intense, and the dark demonic energy retreated continuously under the pressure of this light, emitting mournful howls.
The Golden Phantom roared, its voice booming like a bell, shaking the surrounding darkness and causing the dark demonic energy to falter.
With the illusory figure's roar, a powerful wave of light spread outwards from Ren Xiaoyao, dissipating the dark demonic energy wherever it reached, and gradually restoring peace to the space.
" Dark Puppet, do you think your conspiracy will succeed? Today, I will definitely annihilate you completely and dispel the darkness from this land!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, his voice booming like a bell, echoing for a long time in the darkness, his voice filled with firm and Unbending Will.
Then, he charged toward the Dark Puppet once more like a golden meteor, faster and more powerful than before. Wherever he went, the dark demonic energy dissipated like melting snow, and the surrounding space gradually returned to calm under the pressure of his powerful aura.
However, Dark Puppet was not willing to accept defeat. He quickly formed hand seals and summoned a group of demons formed from dark demonic energy.
These demons came in various forms. Some had enormous wings covered in sharp barbs, each flap creating a black whirlwind filled with countless sharp fragments of demonic energy that shot towards Ren Xiaoyao like Hidden Weapon. Others were covered in spikes dripping black venom, which corroded deep pits into the ground upon impact and evaporated into a poisonous mist that filled the air, making it difficult to breathe. They roared as they pounced on Ren Xiaoyao, their roars causing the surrounding air to tremble.
One of the demons opened its gaping maw and spewed out a pillar of Black Flames, scorching and distorting the space around it. Other demons were surrounded by halos of black light, which contained powerful dark Demonic Power that could weaken the light around them.
Undeterred, Ren Xiaoyao wielded his Golden Light Sword and engaged in fierce combat with the demons. Wherever the Light Sword struck, the demons vanished into nothingness, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air. However, the Demonic Source, making it difficult for Ren Xiaoyao to break through their defenses.
Just then, Ren Xiaoyao noticed a slight flaw in the Dark Puppet's hand movements as it summoned the demon. A thought struck him, and he immediately seized the opportunity, unleashing his full power to charge towards the Dark Puppet.
Seeing this, Dark Puppet was terrified. He hurriedly manipulated Evil Emperor to try to stop Ren Xiaoyao. Evil Emperor's body expanded again, and demonic energy surged towards Ren Xiaoyao like a raging black tide. With his agile Movement Method, Ren Xiaoyao skillfully avoided the attack of demonic energy and continued to approach Dark Puppet.
As Ren Xiaoyao approached the Dark Puppet, he constantly resisted the attacks of the Evil Emperor and the demons. Each dodge and counterattack caused violent fluctuations in the surrounding space. Golden light and Black Demonic Qi collided fiercely in the air, emitting Dazzling Light and deafening roars.
Light and roar intertwined, as if to dispel the darkness of the entire world. During the battle, Ren Xiaoyao also continuously mobilized the mysterious power within his body. The runes on the Golden Light Sword shone even brighter, and golden flames even appeared on the blade. These flames carried a powerful Purifying Power, rapidly devouring the surrounding dark demonic energy.
As he fought, he silently chanted Ancient Incantations, stimulating the potential of the light power within him. The golden light around his body grew increasingly intense, forming a golden protective shield to resist the erosion of the Dark Power.
Finally, Ren Xiaoyao arrived in front of the Dark Puppet, his Golden Light Sword carrying World-Ending Aura, and fiercely stabbed at the Dark Puppet.
"No!" Dark Puppet let out a desperate scream. The Golden Light Sword pierced through his body in an instant, and in the light, Dark Puppet's body began to gradually dissipate, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing into the air.
As it dissipated, the Dark Puppet let out a series of unwilling roars. His voice echoed in the darkness, gradually fading, as if telling of his defeat and resentment.
As the Dark Puppet dissipated, the Dark Power he summoned also began to collapse rapidly. The Black Demonic Qi receded like a tide, and the demons vanished into nothingness.
As the dark demonic energy receded, it triggered a series of explosions, with black shockwaves surging through the surrounding space in a final struggle.
As the Dark Puppet disappeared, the Evil Emperor's body stopped expanding, and the surging demonic energy gradually dissipated. A sliver of clarity returned to the Evil Emperor's eyes, and he looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Thank you, Ren Xiaoyao..." Before he could finish speaking, the Evil Emperor's body slowly collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
