Chapter 1522 569: Final Battle (Part 6)

"Puh!"

Jiang Changge spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood, utterly depleted, unable to barely sustain against the Chaos Immortal Emperor formed by the trinity, as the control of the restriction gradually slipped away.

The Demon Seed lost control and fully awakened.

"Through the ages, the Heavenly Dao has flaws; all beings are ignorant, sinking into the sea of suffering!!!"

Ding Xiu chanted spells: "Today, in the name of the primordial, I pursue the pure and tranquil. All spirits return to silence, reborn in earth, wind, water, and fire!"

The celestial vault shattered, the heavens lamented.

The sacred tree throbbed like a black evil sun, its sound roaring, resembling the heartbeat of the Abyss of Ancient Demons, echoing to every corner of the heavens and myriad realms.

It swayed slightly, and billions of miles of firmament dimmed instantly, as the light of the stars in circulation was forcibly extracted, transformed into gray tassels that fell into the tree crown, while the stars themselves withered and perished at a visible speed!

The sun and moon lost their light, plunging the earth into an eerie dusk.

Upon the land, rivers, lakes, and seas surged backward, as the essence of their waters was forcibly drawn away by the roots, drying up rivers, exhausting the four seas, revealing the cracked abyssal floor. The Spirit Veins of famed mountains and great rivers shattered, as Earth Vein Dragon Qi wailed and was devoured, mountains turned to dust, and the earth collapsed.

Spirits of grass and trees, birds and beasts, and even ordinary mortals, regardless of their virtue, strength, or weakness, felt the life source within them swiftly dissipating.

Their bodies did not decay, yet like wind-dried sand sculptures, they lost color and vitality bit by bit, eventually turning into the purest points of vital energy, wailing as they were absorbed into the Heavenly Tree's phantom in the sky!

Cultivators were not spared either! Golden Cores shattered, Nascent Souls cried, years of cultivation efforts pouring out like floodwaters, forcibly seized!

Countless cultivators attempted to use their powers to resist, only to find their techniques fragile before the Primordial Demon Qi, accelerating their own disintegration instead.

"It's over!"

"It's all over!"

"The refining has begun, those bastards from Luoxiao Sect really plan to refine us all!"

"Ding Xiu, I'm going to kill you!"

"..."

The world turned into a scene straight from hell.

The Demon Seed sacred tree grew increasingly large, emitting an ever more terrifying aura as it greedily devoured everything, intending to completely "purify" this realm into the most primordial "Egg of Chaos," then using its supreme demonic might to recreate heaven and earth and shape a cold new world!

"Cough, cough..."

Jiang Changge collapsed on the branches, stretching out his hand with difficulty, attempting to halt the sacred tree.

A boot stomped down heavily.

Ding Xiu's voice, manic yet excited, rang out: "Jiang Changge, you lost, you all lost! The final victor is me!"

"Animal..."

Jiang Changge cursed with difficulty: "You, you have shamed Elder Mei, shamed Luoxiao Sect!"

"It's clearly Mei Xiao who shamed us!"

Ding Xiu's tone turned venomous: "We followed him, fought across the seas and battled the wasteland, achieving countless merits, yet when we reached the peak, he actually wanted to use mortals to restrain us! Is that not the most ridiculous thing under heaven?!"

"Scoundrel!"

Jiang Changge spat insults: "Don't forget, you were once a mortal too, it was Elder Mei who gave you your Spirit Root..."

"Shut up!"

Ding Xiu stomped on Jiang Changge's face, just a bit more force and he could crush his entire skull!

"Kill me!"

Jiang Changge remained unafraid: "Short Ding, go ahead and kill me!"

Ding Xiu's eyes glinted fiercely, originally about to kill, but then recalled something and laughed coldly instead: "Just killing you like this is too cheap, I want you to watch as the Heavenly Dao resets, and I become the sole Immortal Emperor of the Cultivation World, ruling over heaven and earth for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, a million years!"

"Woom boom boom——"

In the midst of their conversation.

The sacred tree suddenly trembled violently, releasing a supreme clean energy from within, causing the entire towering giant tree to wail, and clearly slowing its pace of refining the realm.

"Haha..."

Jiang Changge laughed miserably: "Short Ding, did you forget, Chen Sansi isn't dead yet, isn't it a bit too early to celebrate?!"

Ding Xiu paused, furrowing his brows.

...

Inside the Demon Seed.

Chen Sansi slowly awoke from the chaos.

"What is this?"

"Hiss..."

The previous memories from the Heart Demon Domain surged into his mind like tides.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Looks like he successfully brought people out from the heart demons.

Where is Xin Ye?

Chen Sansi found himself amidst nothingness, sensing a massive fluctuation, he drifted toward its source, quickly finding the origin of the disturbance.

It was indeed Xin Ye herself!

In the chaos, Xin Ye floated, the scarlet hostility in her eyes gradually faded, revealing a trace of an ancient clarity and compassion. The demonized mark at her brow fell away like ice cracking, revealing beneath it a point of pure white, flawless, life-creating light abruptly appearing!

A surge of mighty, unstoppable, utterly pure energy burst forth from her body!

Its color was neither blue nor white, akin to the light of the primordial, its essence clean and exalted, far surpassing all worldly spiritual energy, it was that innate creation and source of the sacred tree — Primordial Clean Energy!

Once this energy emerged, though initially as subtle as a brook, it was akin to boiling water melting snow, causing the surrounding surging Demonic Qi to disperse and dissolve!

"This is..."

Chen Sansi was somewhat surprised but not overly shocked.

The essence of the sacred tree, born of pure spirit, guided by innate righteous energy, carrying creation's merit, though beset by trials and tribulations through the ages, marred by countless impurities, its core remained bright and pure, never diminished in the slightest!

Like a beautiful jade trapped in the mire, a pearl covered in dust and dirt, its essence unchanged in its purity.

Now.

The Heart Demon broken, some of its pure energy restored!

"Buzz——"

A cool breath appeared behind him.

Chen Sansi turned to see, there was Xin Ye.

Her pupils returned to scarlet, her hair still frosty white, yet deep within her eyes, within the coldness emerged a clear spring: "Oh, isn't this Brother Shitou?"
