Chapter 376: Battle of Dimensions

As his voice fell, a brilliant white light shot up from the center of the Array, straight into the clouds. The Five Elements Energy fused perfectly, forming a powerful force unlike any before.

The entire warship was instantly swallowed by its own energy, exploding into a ball of purple fire. Other warships were also sent flying by the shockwave of the light pillar, losing control in the air and colliding with one another.

On the ground, the extraterrestrial warriors rushing toward the platform were knocked down by the energy fluctuations emitted by the light pillar; their equipment began to malfunction, with purple energy flickering erratically.

Ga Luo stood at the edge of the platform, looking at this scene in disbelief: "Impossible... this is impossible!"

After the Tianyuan Instrument was fully activated, the Five Elements Energy, with Xuan Qingzi as the Core, formed a massive energy field. This energy field expanded rapidly, covering the entire Kunlun Mountains, and then spread across the globe.

Lin Xuan could feel this energy deeply fusing with the Spirit Energy Network of Diqiu, forming a brand-new defense system—not a simple energy barrier, but a balanced force field capable of canceling out extraterrestrial energy.

"It succeeded..." Lin Xuan muttered to himself, watching the defeated fleet in the sky.

When the Five Elements Energy fully stabilized, Xuan Qingzi's body had already turned into specks of light, leaving only an empty Daoist Robe lying in the center of the Array.

"Senior Xuan Qingzi!" Shi Qi cried out, wanting to rush toward the center, but was stopped by Xu Feng.

"He has already completed his mission," Xu Feng said in a low voice, "becoming a part of the Tianyuan Instrument."

Ling Bo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "His consciousness is still there, I can feel it... he has merged with the Tianyuan Instrument, becoming the soul of this defense system."

The five of them watched the center of the Array in silence, paying their highest respects to this great Practitioner.

The sky gradually returned to calm, and the routed extraterrestrial fleet began to flee. Ga Luo glanced at the five people on the platform, complex emotions flashing in his eyes, before turning and leaving.

Lin Xuan picked up Xuan Qingzi's Daoist Robe from the ground and folded it gently: "We won, but the price was too high... Senior Xuan Qingzi, Saide, the Green-Robed Person organization, and countless Practitioners who sacrificed themselves to protect Diqiu..."

"Their sacrifice will not be in vain," Li Yan said firmly, "Diqiu is saved."

The five of them stood on the Tianmen Platform, looking at the purple light gradually dissipating in the sky.

The Practitioners of Diqiu had finally shown a united strength in this life-and-death battle, and also proved that the life on this planet possessed a tenacious will to survive.

The activation ceremony of the Tianyuan Instrument had entered a critical stage, with the Five-Colored Light Pillar shooting into the sky, and Xuan Qingzi sitting cross-legged in the center of the Array, guiding the perfect fusion of the Five Elements Energy. Victory seemed within reach, but fate did not intend to let the guardians of Diqiu off so easily.

The sky suddenly twisted, as if space itself were being torn apart by some terrifying force. A blinding purple light spilled from the rift, illuminating the entire Tianmen Platform. Everyone felt an unprecedented, terrifying pressure, making it difficult even to breathe.

"It's Mo Rui!" Lin Xuan exclaimed, forcing himself to look up at the sky despite his discomfort.

From the space rift, a humanoid figure slowly descended. However, the outline of this "person" was rapidly disintegrating, as if it were merely a thin outer shell. Purple energy seeped out from under the skin, and soon, Mo Rui's humanoid shell completely collapsed, transforming into a massive vortex body composed of purple energy.

This was no longer a life form that humans could understand, but some kind of high-dimensional energy existence. The energy fluctuations emitted from the center of the vortex twisted the surrounding space, and even light was forcibly bent, creating strange visual effects.

"Pathetic Diqiu life," Mo Rui's voice resonated directly in everyone's minds, no longer traveling through the air, "did you think you could stop me with this?"

Having said that, a thick beam of purple energy condensed in the center of the vortex body, pointing directly at the Core of the Tianyuan Instrument. The destructive aura emitted by this energy beam caused the surrounding air to begin to burn; it clearly possessed enough terrifying power to destroy the entire platform.

"Oh no!" Xu Feng shouted, "With this kind of energy fluctuation, our defenses won't be able to block it at all!"

Just at this critical moment, Xuan Qingzi suddenly left the center of the Array and stepped forward, standing in the path of the energy beam. His body was filled with the energy of the Tianyuan Instrument, emitting five-colored light and forming a temporary barrier.

"Senior Xuan Qingzi!" Shi Qi exclaimed.

"Continue the ceremony!" Xuan Qingzi shouted in a deep voice, "I can hold on for a while, you must maintain the supply of Five Elements Energy before the Tianyuan Instrument is fully activated!"

The purple energy beam slammed into the barrier formed by Xuan Qingzi, erupting with a deafening roar. Xuan Qingzi's body trembled violently, and blood spilled from his mouth, but he remained steadfast in his position, not retreating a single step.

"Ridiculous resistance; you don't even know what you are fighting against, nor do you know the true meaning of this war."

Lin Xuan forced himself to focus on maintaining the output of Wood Element Energy, while asking in a deep voice: "Then tell us, what is the true purpose of your invasion of Diqiu?"

Mo Rui's energy vortex fluctuated slightly, as if considering whether to answer. Finally, perhaps believing that victory was in his grasp, he decided to reveal the truth:

"Diqiu is an extremely rare 'Five Elements Complete Planet' in the universe, containing a unique energy balance system. This kind of balance is almost a miracle in the universe, hard to find among billions of planets."

Mo Rui's energy attack did not diminish in the slightest, but his voice became complex, even carrying a trace of sadness:

"Our cosmic dimension is collapsing, and energy imbalance has already destroyed one-third of our galaxy. We need Diqiu's Five Elements Energy system to repair our dimensional barrier and save our remaining home."

This unexpected truth shocked all five Houxuanzhe. They had originally thought this was a simple war of conquest, never expecting such a complex story to be hidden behind it.

Mo Rui's voice was filled with both sorrow and anger: "You think this is just a conquest? This is the last hope of our civilization! The survival of billions of lives!"

In his shock, Lin Xuan suddenly understood the true reason for Saide's betrayal—Saide believed that even to save his home planet, one had no right to sacrifice another civilization. This was a tragic conflict between two civilizations, with no absolute right or wrong.

"One side must be sacrificed, and I chose my people," Mo Rui continued, his energy attack becoming even more violent, "while Saide chose betrayal!"

Under the immense pressure, Xuan Qingzi let out a muffled groan of pain; cracks appeared in his barrier, and purple energy began to seep through. The activation of the Tianyuan Instrument was forced to interrupt, and the fusion of the Five Elements Energy became unstable.

"I can't hold on..." Xuan Qingzi's voice was extremely weak, "the energy is too powerful..."

Just at this moment, the ground around Tianmen suddenly began to shake.
