Chapter 916: Refining

Within the collapsing world, Lingyun stood alone in the Void.

The terrifying space storm caused by the world's collapse surged toward him with a lethal aura, but the Tree of Life of Kabbalah behind Lingyun expanded to form a world, blocking all such dangerous spatial fluctuations on the outside.

"Sigh—" Lingyun gazed at this collapsing world and let out a soft sigh.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Ruoxi jumped out from the Cloud Realm and hung directly onto Lingyun.

"Nothing, I just feel that worldly affairs are impermanent. Who could have imagined that the Underworld King of the End, who once traversed the River of Time and Space, would end up like this," Lingyun said.

"If the Underworld King of the End hadn't assaulted the Sea of Origin, this situation would never have occurred. And even if he had been severely wounded by the backlash of the Sea of Origin, he only needed to hide and recuperate for a period of time to recover. It is precisely because he adopted methods that the various World Consciousnesses could least tolerate that this current situation was caused. In the final analysis, he brought this upon himself," Ruoxi said.

"Forget it, forget it. There is no meaning in talking about such things now. The space-time storm caused by the total collapse of the Underworld King Absolute Domain will have an inestimable impact on the entire God-Given Continent; after all, there are still many dangerous things within this world. Let the two of us join forces to refine this broken world, and then use it to replenish the World Essence extracted from the continent." Lingyun quickly cast such matters to the back of his mind.

Lingyun could perceive that the fragment of the Underworld King Absolute Domain beneath his feet was likely created at the very beginning from a small piece of the God-Given Continent's world, which was then fused with the God-Given Continent's World Essence. It was precisely by relying on this Small World that Moqi was not rejected by the world when he infiltrated the God-Given Continent, and even caused the God-Given Continent to acknowledge him as a part of the world.

"Okay!" Ruoxi nodded, floated up from Lingyun's body, and released powerful World Power.

"World's End!" Lingyun grabbed the Sword of Destruction and, without the slightest hesitation, slashed a sword toward the world in front of him.

The terrifying Destruction Power instantly destroyed everything in front of him; even the space-time storm appeared so vulnerable before Lingyun. Under the bombardment of this move, the Underworld King Absolute Domain, which had become extremely fragile due to Moqi's actions, shattered on the spot, turning into countless tiny world fragments.

Although these world fragments were small, each one contained a terrifying aura. If hit head-on by such fragments, even gods would be unable to endure it.

"Swallow Heaven Devour Earth!" A small black hole appeared between Ruoxi's hands. The black hole released powerful might, sucking all the fragments of the Underworld King Absolute Domain into her hands.

The world fragments absorbed into her hands began to constantly transform under her World Power, and specks of light escaped from the fragments. After the light dissipated, the world fragments began to slowly vanish, eventually turning completely into nothingness.

Not long after, the Underworld King Absolute Domain in front of Lingyun had completely disappeared, and they were now standing in a chaotic space-time. If one wanted to initiate a Space Transmission in this chaotic space-time, one might deviate by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

The Tree of Life of Kabbalah exerted its power once again at this moment, blocking all the space-time turbulence on the periphery, without a single bit reaching Lingyun.

This was actually one of Moqi's schemes; if he could not kill Lingyun, he would banish him to the endless Void, so that he would never return to the God-Given Continent. Even if Lingyun could eventually break through this space-time turbulence and return to the God-Given Continent, who knew when that would be, and this period of time was enough for him to complete what he needed to do.

"This method is indeed quite effective for others, but for us, it doesn't seem to have much effect!"

Ruoxi held a small grayish-white Light Ball in her hand; this Light Ball was the World Essence she had extracted from the fragments of the Underworld King Absolute Domain. However, this World Essence contained a thick brand of the Underworld King Absolute Domain, and it still needed to be refined before it could be returned to the God-Given Continent.

Seeing Ruoxi's small hand beckon, a Space-Time Coordinate appeared in her hand, which she then handed to Lingyun.

Just at this moment, the entire chaotic space-time suddenly began to fluctuate, and an incomparably terrifying dimensional storm appeared in this space-time, sweeping toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun held the Space-Time Coordinate in one hand, grabbed the Creation Sword with the other, and slashed forward with one sword.

"Heaven Opening Earth Splitting!"

The dazzling sword light illuminated this chaotic space-time and collided heavily with the dimensional storm, instantly forming an incomparably terrifying vortex. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lingyun crushed the Space-Time Coordinate in his hand and instantly disappeared into the Void.

The moment Lingyun disappeared, the dimensional storm crushed the sword light and roared toward Lingyun's direction. But Lingyun's figure had already vanished from this chaotic space-time, and the dimensional storm could not cause him any impact.

Above the Wanggu Shanmai, a flash of dazzling silver light passed, and Lingyun's figure stepped out from the Void.

Ruoxi handed the Light Ball in her hand to Lingyun: "Brother, leave the matter of purifying the World Essence to you. There is no one in this world more skilled at this than you!"

After saying this, Ruoxi waved her hand at Lingyun with a grin, and then disappeared into the Void.

Looking at the Light Ball in his hand, Lingyun shook his head slightly, then found a place to sit down casually, holding the Light Ball in his hands.

Immediately, terrifying power surged from his hands, turning into a vast Purification Light that enveloped the Light Ball.

The moment the Purification Light came into contact with the Light Ball, a strong reaction occurred. The brand belonging to Moqi struggled and resisted constantly, wanting to fend off the dissolution of the Purification Light. But this resistance appeared so fragile before Lingyun; in just a moment's time, Moqi's mark was completely dissolved.

After Moqi's mark was erased, the originally grayish-white Light Ball in Lingyun's hand had become transparent. If not for the faint traces of Void distortion around the Light Ball, ordinary people would likely not be able to tell that Lingyun was still holding a Light Ball in his hand.

Lingyun separated his hands, and the Light Ball in his hands divided into one large and one small. Lingyun stored the smaller one into the Cloud Realm, then his right hand shook gently, and the Light Ball in his hand instantly disintegrated, turning into countless rays of light that rushed toward all parts of the God-Given Continent.

After the World Essence returned to its place, Lingyun could feel that the God-Given Continent seemed to have become increasingly active.

"It looks like the World Consciousness of this continent will be able to recover very soon." A smile appeared on Lingyun's face.
