Chapter 1807: The Divine Halls Seal the Sun and Moon

The Black Sun and Blood Moon hung quietly at the far end of the sky, like a frozen oil painting, motionless.

Upon them stretched the grand, mysterious cluster of divine halls, rolling on and on, inspiring awe.

And in the ten Outer Shenzhou, the blood eggs that had been fused earlier now melted away, but the living beings and strange creatures within them had all lost their vitality, turning into a ground full of foul-smelling blood.

Fear still lingered on the faces of countless living beings.

The entire Outer Shenzhou was silent; they stared in terror at the Black Sun and Blood Moon at the far end of the sky, uncertain whether the world-destroying evil light would erupt again the next moment.

Only the many Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings led by Jiang Li Tianwang could sense that the destructive power emanating from the Black Sun and Blood Moon had now been completely sealed and suppressed by the cluster of divine halls that Jiang Jiang Qinge had transformed into.

This shocked them, yet at the same time brought forth wild joy on their faces.

Could it be that the Dark Sect Master had been sealed again by Jiang Jiang Qinge?

"Jiang Qinge can only seal it for ten years. After ten years, the Dark Sect Master will reach perfection and truly step into the Ten-Rank realm." But at this moment Li Luo's low, heavy voice came through, wiping away all the joy from their faces.

"Ten years, huh..."

Jiang Li Tianwang sighed softly with a complicated expression; the other Heavenly Kings also revealed bitter looks. Ten years seemed not short, but for them it was nothing more than a snap of the fingers.

What could be done in these ten years?

It would only be a matter of lingering on in a doomed state.

"Everyone must not lose heart. These ten years were won by the Goddess burning herself out for the Outer Shenzhou world. If we abandon ourselves, we would be unworthy of her sacrifice." Jiang Li Tianwang sensed the Heavenly Kings' low spirits and immediately said in a deep voice.

Then he took the lead, facing the Black Sun and Blood Moon at the far end of the sky, and toward the grand, mysterious cluster of divine halls upon them, he cupped his fist and bent his waist, performing a great bow filled with gratitude.

The other Heavenly Kings also paid their respects one after another.

Although the "Source of All Evil" that had burst out from Jiang Jiang Qinge's body at the final moment was terrifying, her contributions to the Outer Shenzhou world were plain for all to see. In this great decisive battle, if not for Jiang Jiang Qinge's aid, the entire Outer Shenzhou would have been utterly crushed in the hands of the Dark Sect Master.

Not to mention, there were also these final ten years of buffer time.

Her merits were beyond doubt, worthy of reverence and worship by all living beings of the Outer Shenzhou.

Jiang Li Tianwang wanted to ask Li Luo more, but the latter's expression was now desolate; he merely stared blankly upward at the cluster of divine halls upon the "Black Sun and Blood Moon." That once dashing face brimming with sharpness and high spirits now revealed an unprecedented weariness and exhaustion.

In this decisive battle, Li Luo's body and mind had undoubtedly both suffered a tremendous blow.

First, Li Li Jingzhe transformed into a bamboo grove to serve as a seal; then Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan fell into spatial exile, vanishing without a trace. In this great battle, his own Phase Seeds were seized by the Dark Sect Master; he watched helplessly as Lu Qing'er perished to protect him; and finally, Jiang Jiang Qinge also transformed herself into divine halls to seal the Black Sun and Blood Moon, the two of them separated.

Every single one of these events was enough to break a person.

So in the end Jiang Li Tianwang chose not to disturb Li Luo at this moment, and instead ordered the other Heavenly Kings to clean up the aftermath of the war.

As for the matter of the ten-year seal, Jiang Li Tianwang did not conceal it from the Outer Shenzhou's living beings, but announced it directly.

This news completely shattered the silence of the Outer Shenzhou. Countless living beings first wept with joy; this war of survival had finally come to an end. Although it was only temporary, it at least gave them some breathing room.

Although many also knew clearly that this so-called breathing room was nothing but the prelude to an even greater storm of destruction.

But after enduring the boundless terror brought by this decisive battle, this respite appeared especially precious.

Therefore countless living beings all prostrated themselves and knelt in worship toward the grand cluster of divine halls upon the Black Sun and Blood Moon. In their eyes, Jiang Jiang Qinge's actions were no different from those of a guardian deity of the world.

They hoped this prayer could win more peaceful time for the world.

While the Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings led by Jiang Li Tianwang were gathering up the war's aftermath, the Dark World's Great Demon King Ming Hou cast his vicious gaze toward Yin Li Tianwang and the others of the Guiyi Hui.

The Dark Sect Master's descent this time also caused the Dark World severe damage: not only were many Great Demon Kings driven by him to self-destruct, even the Dark World's "Sea of Malice" was devoured by him. Although as long as living beings' negative emotions continued to be born, the Sea of Malice would gradually recover, this still severely affected the Dark World's rate of birthing strange creatures.

So the degree of damage suffered by the Dark World this time was actually even more grievous than when that Sect Master had invaded the Dark World back then.

And all of this was because of the Guiyi Hui!

At this moment, Great Demon King Ming Hou wished he could devour Yin Li Tianwang and the others alive.

But Yin Li Tianwang clearly understood that with the Black Sun and Blood Moon formed by the Dark Sect Master being sealed, their Guiyi Hui would surely face reckoning from both the Outer Shenzhou world and the Dark World. So before Great Demon King Ming Hou could strike, he swept his sleeves, shattered space, and the power of the Divine Fruit Rank swept up the Guiyi Hui's Heavenly Kings, plunging straight into the depths of the void.

The plan had already been pushed to completion; whether the Guiyi Hui existed or not no longer mattered, and for the next ten years they had no need to appear in the world.

They only needed to wait until the ten-year deadline arrived; when the Dark Sect Master descended again, everything would be reset.

A new world would give birth to a new Wuxiang Holy Sect, and its brilliance would surely reach an unprecedented dazzling height.

Yin Li Tianwang escaped quickly, causing Great Demon King Ming Hou's plan for revenge to fall through, but over the next ten years the Dark World would spare no effort in hunting them down!

And as for the war of unification with the Outer Shenzhou world...

Great Demon King Ming Hou stared with cold, greedy eyes at the living beings of the Outer Shenzhou. Although at present the Dark Sect Master was the most terrifying enemy, in a certain sense the Dark World should join hands with the Outer Shenzhou world to resist him.

But this was ultimately impossible.

Fundamentally speaking, the two sides were also locked in a fight to the death.

The "evil" contained within malice made the Dark World constantly desire to occupy the Outer Shenzhou world, to enslave and pen up its living beings.

For Great Demon King Ming Hou to be able to restrain the impulse to continue launching the war of unification at present was already the greatest forbearance.

"Retreat!"

In the end, Great Demon King Ming Hou let out a low, guttural roar, and led the many Great Demon Kings of the Dark World to withdraw back into the Dark World through the increasingly fractured rifts in the boundary wall, to lick their wounds.

The Outer Shenzhou's living beings watched the tide of strange creatures from the Dark World retreat entirely, yet did not show much joy. After all, compared to the "Black Sun and Blood Moon" at the far end of the sky, the Dark World no longer seemed so terrifying.

Nevertheless, no matter how one looked at it, a rare period of calm had once again appeared within the Outer Shenzhou.

The world rejoiced.

And Li Luo sat quietly atop a desolate mountain peak, like a withered stone, neither eating nor speaking, his eyes dim, wearily gazing at the cluster of divine halls upon the Black Sun and Blood Moon.

Li Luo had once fallen into a low point before, but even then he had still been full of drive, because by his side there had always been that figure accompanying him and giving him encouragement.

But now, she too was gone.

Li Luo had lost his Phase Seeds, lost his parents, and lost her.

Li Luo's aura grew fainter day by day.

Before he knew it, the desolate mountain peak was already overgrown with weeds.

A year had passed.
