Chapter 386: The Dark Abyss Society's Demise

##

At the moment the golden Sword Qi pierced the Dark Abyss Society leader, Gui Xu's dimensional structure suddenly solidified. His body did not split in two as expected, but burst like a shattered glass lantern into three hundred sixty quantum streams of light. Within each stream curled the phantom of a black‑haired infant, screaming as they lunged toward the Bronze Coffins scattered across the battlefield, gnawing the posthumous incantation on the Coffin Lid into twisted mycelium Zhengtong.

"Cognitive Anchor Point Transfer!" Lín Jìn's Star Sand right hand suddenly surged, the Vermilion Bird veil entwining Nirvana Fire to weave a heavenly net. Yet the moment the flux light touched the Bronze Coffin, the entire battlefield collapsed into a Möbius Strip—cheers of the allied soldiers rose from behind, while the sword tip pierced the back of their own comrade.

Ao Li's World‑cutting Blade drove into a bronze floor tile, the radiance of chaotic spirit marrow forcibly straightening the spatial curvature. The Dark Abyss Society leader's Residual Body reassembled in the real dimension, his left half streaming with the primordial creation light of a silver‑haired infant, his right half steaming with the world‑ending entropy flow of a black‑haired infant: "What you destroy is merely a skin‑bound vessel..."

Xuan Yuan Hao's bronze raging dragon lunged, but upon contacting the leader's Residual Body it mutated into a docile pet. Lingxiao Pavilion's Taiyi Sword Formation cloaked the dome, yet the sword rain froze mid‑air into Twin Children's toy wind chimes. When the allied forces realized the crisis, their triumphant shouts had already become prayers birthing a new deity.

"Cognition is nourishment." The leader's vocal cords vibrated with Gui Xu Pinqü, and the chaotic spirit marrow in his chest suddenly swelled into a jade basin phantom. The allied soldiers' pupils collectively lost focus, their triumphant memories being extracted and injected into the floating cosmic embryos within the jade basin.

Ao Li's dragon horns snapped at the root in unison, the spouting jadeite at the fracture drawing the Star Chart of the time whale's remains in the air. Lín Jìn's Star Sand right hand completely fell apart, and Nirvana Fire surged upstream along the Star Chart's pattern: "In the name of the Vermilion Bird, burn all cause and effect!"

The burning Star Chart suddenly materialized into a tangible time whale's remains, its dying wail shattering the jade basin phantom. The Dark Abyss Society leader's Residual Body began Quantum Evaporation, each fundamental particle replaying the humiliating memory of the Dragon Clan ancestors' Burial Coffin Sacrifice holy remains. The silver‑haired infant's phantom leapt from the spirit marrow, angrily tearing the time whale's nerve cords: "Detestable informant!"

The allied soldiers suddenly vomited black spores en masse, those spores coalescing in the air into a chain of posthumous incantations. Xuan Yuan Hao's third eye burst forth with pure light: "Now!" One hundred thousand incantation chains pierced the leader's Residual Body, nailing him between Gui Xu and the mortal world.

Ao Li's World‑cutting Blade suddenly softened, transforming into a coiled snake‑shaped Gui Xu Ruler. She leapt, stepping on the time whale's wail; the ruler's edge did not slash the leader, but pierced her own forehead: "The Dragon Clan's sins, I shall end!"

The chaotic spirit marrow exploded with a thunderous blast, unleashing not destructive energy but all the cognitive truths that the Dark Abyss Society had altered. The soldiers saw images of ancestors voluntarily forging holy remains into god‑slaying weapons, glimpsed the lingering scene of Lingxiao Pavilion's First Generation headmaster signing a pact with the Twin Children, and witnessed the Mo Family giants' incriminating evidence of using living subjects to test reverse‑meme weapons.

The Dark Abyss Society leader let out a final roar amid the real storm: "You... are all accomplices!" His body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into Stardust that nourished Gui Xu. Three hundred sixty Bronze Coffins simultaneously opened, spewing out the allied spirits imprisoned within.

When the last strand of darkness faded, the surviving soldiers fell to their knees. Their victorious cheers lodged in their throats—each fallen comrade's face floated across the heavens, being molded by the silver‑haired infant with creation power into new toy soldiers. The black‑haired infant sat at the edge of the jade basin, projecting the withered universe onto the scarred earth.

"Cognition forever~" The Twin Children's laughter pierced the dimension. Ao Li's World‑cutting Blade was reduced to a half‑broken fragment, Lín Jìn's Star Sand had already spread to his heart. Lingxiao Pavilion's Taiyi Sword Formation was collapsing, and the Purple Void Immortal within the Array Eye ascended into light: "Remember... this is not an ending..."

Three months later, the rebuilt Dragon Clan sanctuary. Ao Li's dragon horns still had not regenerated, the Gui Xu scar on her forehead burned day and night. As she performed rites for the spirits at the posthumous pool, the water's surface suddenly reflected the black‑haired infant's image. The infant was gnawing at fragments of her memory, each bite splashing crimson ripples.

"Sister's sorrow is truly delicious." The pool water coalesced into the shape of the silver‑haired infant, "Next time I'll design an even more cruel game~"

Ao Li thrust the broken blade into the pool, only shattering her own reflection. Behind her, Lín Jìn's Star Sand right hand was silently reassembling, a bizarre totem of Vermilion Bird and mycelium symbiosis emerging beneath his skin. Above the rebuilt God‑slaying Crossbow Array, the Mo craftsmen failed to notice the pulsing cognitive spores deep within the crossbow mechanisms.

And in the bronze sea at the deepest part of Gui Xu, three hundred sixty cosmic embryos quietly rotated within the jade basin. The patterns on their surfaces matched Ao Li's newly formed Inverse Scale perfectly.
