Chapter 479: The Power of Two Heaven and Earth Origin Fragments

Lin Xuan swung both hands simultaneously, his right hand condensing a long sword of ice blue, while his left hand gripped a mass of flickering orange-red flame. His speed was so fast he almost left behind afterimages, and every strike was accompanied by the strange spectacle of alternating ice and fire—where the ice sword reached, enemies were instantly frozen; as the flames swept past, the frozen enemies were rapidly melted, forming a powerful chain attack.

Seeing this, two Void Venerables immediately launched a joint attack on Lin Xuan. One manipulated Void energy to form massive purple chains, attempting to restrict Lin Xuan's movements; the other condensed dozens of Void blades, slashing toward Lin Xuan in a fan shape.

Facing such a fierce offensive, Lin Xuan did not dodge or evade, but instead charged head-on. His right eye shone with a brilliant ice-blue light, and a layer of crystal-clear ice armor instantly formed around his body, blocking all the Void blades; at the same time, his left eye flashed with fire, and the Hun Dun Flame within his body erupted, transforming into countless tiny fire snakes that rapidly spread along the Void chains, striking the caster directly.

This transition between offense and defense was as smooth as flowing water, cleverly utilizing the characteristics of the two powers, which took the two Void Venerables by surprise and forced them to retreat in haste.

"How is this possible?" one Void Venerable said in shock, "He has actually mastered the power of two Heaven and Earth Origin fragments at the same time!"

Muerxiu's expression became extremely ugly: "At all costs, kill him!"

As the order was given, more Void Believers joined the battle, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Although Lin Xuan's strength had greatly increased, the number of enemies was simply too high. Xu Feng's side was also locked in a bitter struggle; several team members were already injured, and the battle line was forced to retreat continuously.

"This won't do!" Lin Xuan was burning with anxiety, trying to find a breakthrough. Just then, Xiao Yuan suddenly shouted:

"Lin Xuan, look up!"

Lin Xuan looked up and saw that above the valley, a blinding purple beam of light suddenly shot down from the clouds, accurately hitting the aircraft where Muerxiu was located. Amidst a huge explosion, the aircraft shook violently, almost losing control.

Immediately following, several uniquely shaped silver flying ships broke through the clouds, each with the gorgeous Rune for "Balance" engraved on its bow. The silver ship formation flew in a perfect offensive and defensive array, launching a fierce attack on the Void Council's aircraft from the flank.

"It's the Balance Sect!" Lin Xuan said with pleasant surprise, "Helian Zigui has come!"

Sure enough, on the deck of the silver flagship, Helian Zigui, dressed in white, was directing the Balance Sect members to launch their offensive. He noticed Lin Xuan's gaze, nodded slightly in acknowledgement, and then leaped, landing on the edge of the battlefield like a meteor.

"Sorry, I'm late." Helian Zigui came to Lin Xuan's side and scanned the battlefield, "It seems you have successfully fused the Hun Dun Flame."

Lin Xuan showed his dual-colored eyes: "Thanks to the intelligence you provided. But the situation is bad now; Muerxiu brought three Void Venerables."

Helian Zigui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I brought four."

As his words fell, four Balance Sect Elders whose auras were no less than those of the Void Venerables descended from the sky and quickly engaged the enemy's Void Venerables. The situation was instantly reversed, and the Void Council's offensive was effectively contained.

The support of the Balance Sect caused a huge change in the battlefield situation. In the air, silver flying ships and black aircraft engaged in fierce fire, with energy shells drawing brilliant arcs across the sky; on the ground, Balance Sect members coordinated with Lin Xuan's group, gradually suppressing the enemies.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Muerxiu's expression became abnormally ferocious. He suddenly took out a purple-black cube from his bosom; the surface of the cube was covered with eerie Runes, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

"Not good!" Helian Zigui's expression changed abruptly, "It's the Void World-Devouring Array! Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

Before anyone could react, Muerxiu had already thrown the cube into the center of the battlefield. The cube spun rapidly in the air, releasing countless purple-black energy threads, instantly weaving into a massive array structure. In the center of the array, a pitch-black vortex slowly formed, emitting a powerful suction force, crazily devouring all energy in the vicinity, including the spiritual power within the cultivators' bodies.

Several cultivators closer to the vortex had their spiritual power drained on the spot and collapsed to the ground. Others also felt their spiritual power rapidly draining away, their faces turning pale.

"This is a forbidden Dharma Artifact of the Awakening Sect," Helian Zigui explained while quickly directing the Balance Sect members, "It can destroy the energy balance within the area, causing large-scale energy collapse. Once fully activated, a hundred-mile radius will become a dead zone!"

Under Helian Zigui's command, the Balance Sect members quickly arranged themselves into a specific formation, joining forces to set up a defensive barrier, temporarily resisting the suction of the Void Vortex.

"Lin Xuan, you must leave immediately!" Helian Zigui said solemnly, "We will hold Muerxiu back as much as possible to buy you time to evacuate."

Lin Xuan frowned: "Then what about you? I cannot abandon you!"

"You bear the mission of collecting all the Heaven and Earth Origin fragments; you cannot fall here!" Helian Zigui said firmly, "The meaning of the Balance Sect's existence is to maintain the balance of the universe. Your mission is more important than us!"

Xu Feng also stepped forward to persuade him: "Senior Helian is right; the most important thing for us now is to preserve our strength and find the third fragment."

Lin Xuan struggled internally, but his reason told him that Helian Zigui's decision was correct. Finally, he nodded in agreement: "I promise you, I will definitely collect all the fragments and stop the Void Sovereign from awakening."

Helian Zigui nodded with satisfaction: "The Dimensional Flying Boat is on the east side of the valley; I have already ordered people to prepare it. Go quickly!"

Under the cover of the Balance Sect members, Lin Xuan led Xiao Yuan, Xu Feng, and the remaining team members to retreat quickly toward the east side of the valley. Before leaving, Lin Xuan looked back at the battlefield—the defensive line formed by Helian Zigui and the Balance Sect members was being compressed bit by bit by the Void Vortex, but they still held their ground, buying precious time for the evacuation.

"You must survive..." Lin Xuan prayed silently in his heart, then turned and led the team toward the Dimensional Flying Boat.

The Dimensional Flying Boat had already started, waiting for their arrival. Everyone quickly boarded the ship, and the flying boat immediately rose into the air, rushing toward the high sky. Looking down from the porthole, the battle in Wu Xiang Yan Gu was still continuing, and the Void Vortex was constantly expanding, devouring everything around it.

Lin Xuan stood on the deck, looking at the distant battlefield, his heart filled with guilt and gratitude. This was the second time he had been covered for an evacuation by people sacrificing their lives, first the Cultivation Science Headquarters, and now the Balance Sect. This heavy burden, this expectation, made the weight on his shoulders even heavier, but it also strengthened his resolve.

"The third fragment, the Void Heart..." Lin Xuan clenched his fists, a firm light flickering in his dual-colored eyes, "This time, I will not let anyone sacrifice themselves for me again."

The flying boat traveled through the clouds and soon disappeared above Wu Xiang Yan Gu, leaving behind a roar like a vow, echoing under the blue sky.
