The nine-tiered altar spun faster and faster until it finally lost its original form, transforming into nine indistinct layers of silver light. The speed of these lights was too fast for the naked eye to perceive. Huge silver runes and patterns flew out of the altar one after another, swirling around it like divine musical scores. There were human figures, birds and beasts, the sun and moon, stars, mountains, rivers, oceans, lightning, weapons, buildings... everything that existed in the universe seemed to turn into flames and flicker. Then, images like those from a projector continuously flew out of the altar, sometimes overlapping and sometimes disappearing.
Sun Fei even saw his own reflection in a few fleeting fragments, but he couldn't figure out what they meant.
This strange situation has been ongoing.
The rumbling sound of friction echoed throughout the entire mountainside, and sparks even flew from between the silvery-white boulders due to their violent rotation.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the giant pillar that had been inserted into the ninth-level altar within the closed structure.
When Sun Fei moved the half-pillar up, he spilled countless drops of blood on the altar. Now, the blood had even seeped into the subtle array patterns of each layer of the [ God and Demon Altar ]. The two joined sections of the broken pillar were also covered in Sun Fei's blood, which was now being absorbed in a strange way. The countless magical runes flying from the altar began to resonate with Sun Fei, who was sitting on the stone seat. It was a very strange feeling, like a relative was being affectionate with you, or like lovers gradually becoming intimate as they went from acquaintance to love.
The altar spun faster and faster, constantly emitting a continuous stream of white, holy light. This light surged wildly into the giant pillar at the very top, which was about three meters tall when combined. The pillar itself shimmered with silver and blood-red flames, like two armies locked in battle, tearing at each other, fighting and devouring one another, each trying to completely overwhelm the other.
At this moment, Sun Fei gradually began to understand.
The silvery-white flames are clearly the energy of the altar and the converging pillars themselves, representing light and holiness, while the crimson flames are the evil forces of Hell, the Diablo, that have corrupted the Worldstone. The two forces are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and are engaged in a life-or-death struggle on the pillars themselves. If the silvery-white flames prevail, it will mean that the Worldstone has been successfully Cleansing.
Realizing this, Sun Fei also became anxious.
If the crimson flames ultimately prevail and fail to Cleansing the Worldstone, then the two most important women in King Angela's life, Angela and Elena, will truly fall into eternal slumber.
Time passed slowly.
The nine-tiered altar of God and Demon Altar seemed to sense Sun Fei's anxiety, gradually spinning more and more violently, like a super spinning top a thousand meters high, threatening to break free of the ground and soar into the sky. Its rotation brought with it terrifying Whirlwind, each Whirlwind comparable to a strike from a peerless expert, tearing black void cracks in the mountain's interior. Fortunately, the silver-white material that made up the altar and the mountain walls was of unknown Rock type, and this terrifying spatial hurricane storm could not leave the slightest mark on it, its sturdiness surpassing any other Rock in this world.
As the rotation accelerated, the silvery-white flames surging wildly from each layer of the altar became increasingly intense. Terrifyingly powerful energy filled the entire mountain's interior, filling the air with sacred elements of heaven and earth. The air became viscous, almost crystallizing. If it weren't for the protective shield of light and flame released by the mysterious stone seat, Sun Fei would likely have been sealed away like an unfortunate spider encased in resin, turning into amber.
As the [ God and Demon Altar ] went mad, the blood-red, evil Hell power contained within the [ Worldstone ] was gradually weakening, and the holy power began to gain the upper hand. The situation finally began to develop in the direction that Sun Fei had hoped for.
Whether it was a misperception or not, His Majesty the King vaguely sensed that he could clearly feel every subtle change in the altar. He had the illusion that he was gradually becoming one with the [ God and Demon Altar ], able to command and control this altar that was thousands of meters high. The altar was like a child who was extremely affectionate towards him, sensing his feelings and helping him without reservation.
It's a very magical feeling of being connected by blood.
Cleansing [ Worldstone ] was clearly an extremely difficult and slow process. However, for Sun Fei, this process was more like a gradual adaptation to and mastery of the [ God and Demon Altar ]. From the moment that strange feeling of blood connection appeared, Sun Fei gradually discovered that the [ God and Demon Altar ] seemed to possess life and intelligence, like a newly born animal with a blank mind, very innocent and naive, and extremely dependent on Sun Fei, just like a child depends on its parents, unconditionally cooperating with and obeying his wishes.
Time passed slowly.
The crimson flames flickering within the mountain's interior grew weaker and weaker, and the evil aura was being devoured and disintegrated.
Four hours later.
"Puff--!"
Like an oil lamp suddenly blown out, the slight sound masked the deafening roar of the nine-tiered [ God and Demon Altar ] spinning wildly. The last wisp of blood-red flame was melted into the silver light filling the sky, and the power of the Hell demon within the [ Worldstone ] was completely dispelled; it was finally Cleansing.
The frantically spinning [ God and Demon Altar ] finally began to slow down, and the rumbling sound gradually subsided. The terrifying black spatial rifts in the void finally disappeared, and Sun Fei was finally able to move freely on the stone seat again. The light shield that had been protecting His King also disappeared completely with a 'pop'.
Like the beautiful tranquility after a storm, everything in the mountain's interior space came to a standstill.
The countless flashing magical runes and image fragments transformed into streaks of silvery-white light that surged into every layer of stone in the [ God and Demon Altar ]. The extremely fine magical array patterns on the stone walls, which pulsated and shimmered like capillaries, began to dim and eventually stopped flashing, completely concealing their presence.
Everything has returned to its original state.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, the strange feeling of blood connection between His King and the [ God and Demon Altar ] had not disappeared. Sun Fei could clearly feel that after the earth-shattering operation of his energy just now, the [ God and Demon Altar ] was showing a strong sense of fatigue, like a spoiled little pet waiting for his comfort.
Sun Fei tried telepathic communication, releasing his Spiritual Power. The effect was much better than he had imagined. After a few minutes, the [ God and Demon Altar ] gave a clear response and then began to fall into a 'sleep'.
call out!
Amidst a sharp whistling sound, a silver-white streak of light shot out from the [ God and Demon Altar ]. Like a flying sword, it circled the [ God and Demon Altar ] for a while before finally heading straight for Sun Fei. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and Sun Fei had no time to react. The streak of light instantly struck Sun Fei's forehead and pierced through it.
Sun Fei was taken aback.
The expected excruciating pain or skull explosion did not occur. The dazzling silver-white light merged into Sun Fei's body without causing any injury. It was a very strange feeling. Sun Fei clearly felt that something had suddenly appeared in his body, but he couldn't find anything when he tried to examine it closely.
When Sun Fei looked up again, he was horrified to find that the 30-meter-long giant pillar that had been stuck on the ninth-floor [ Demon God Altar ] had disappeared. He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that if he was not mistaken, the dazzling silver light that had entered his brow should have been this giant pillar that had been broken into two pieces but which he had put back together.
"There's actually such a huge pillar inside my body. This feeling... sigh, it's even more awkward than being pregnant..." After guessing the truth, Sun Fei felt awkward and uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. This magical pillar seemed to have a special fondness for him. After hiding inside his body, no matter how Sun Fei called out to it, he couldn't get any response, as if it had completely disappeared.
"Perhaps this is similar to how Dou Weapon on the Azeroth Continent can store Dou Weapon within their bodies. Unfortunately, my strength and Dou Qi have nothing to do with it, so mastering the technique of storing and fusing Dou Weapon within my body is almost impossible. Otherwise, I could try to cultivate and master this method, and maybe I could Summon the giant pillar directly."
Sun Fei's mind wandered for a while, and his gaze suddenly focused on something on the ninth floor of the [ God and Demon Altar ] that was shimmering with a faint sky-blue light.
"This is... a pure [ Worldstone ]?"
Sun Fei jumped down from the stone seat, picked up the glowing object, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an oval gem the size of a fingertip, shining with a mesmerizing glow like the bluest sky and ocean in the world. It contained a pure and intoxicating energy, as if it were the origin of the entire world. The shape of this gem was exactly the same as the [ Worldstone ] that had been corrupted before. The only difference was that its size had shrunk considerably, to less than one-thirtieth of its original size.
"That's right, this is the pure [ Worldstone ], hahaha. Although it's much smaller and its power has been greatly reduced, it's still more than enough to save Angela and Elena, just like Aunt Akara and Uncle Cain said. Great, I did it, hahaha, I finally did it."
