Chapter 525: Three Heroes Meet, The Space-Time Turbulence

~7 min read 1,299 words

This style of combat made Mo Qianji difficult to adapt to for a moment. He was accustomed to cold and ruthless slaughter, yet he had never encountered an attack so full of warmth.

"Void Heart Resonance!"

Muerxiu unleashed a Void mystery never seen before. This was not an attack skill, but a form of communication on a spiritual level. Through the medium of Void Power, he transmitted his own emotions and memories to his master.

Mo Qianji felt the pain and struggle within Muerxiu's heart, and felt his attachment to the sect and his devotion to his master. These pure emotions struck his heart, which had been twisted by Hun Dun Power, like a clear spring.

"No... impossible..." Mo Qianji's attacks began to turn chaotic, and the purple-black light in his eyes began to flicker unsteadily.

Just at this moment, the Core Control Crystal of the teleportation array was exposed before Muerxiu. He knew this was his only chance.

"Master, I am sorry!"

Muerxiu rushed toward the Control Crystal without hesitation, unleashing Void Cutting with all his might. However, Mo Qianji regained his reason at the final moment and lunged at Muerxiu, attempting to stop him from destroying the teleportation array.

The two forces collided violently, and the energy of the teleportation array began to spiral out of control. In a massive explosion, the Control Crystal was completely shattered, and the entire Dharma Array instantly ceased to function.

However, this impact also left both Muerxiu and Mo Qianji severely wounded. Muerxiu's meridians were ruptured in several places, his cultivation regressed significantly, and Mo Qianji was even more gravely injured, his life hanging by a thread.

"Master!" Muerxiu endured the intense pain and crawled toward his master.

Mo Qianji lay in a pool of blood, the purple-black in his eyes slowly fading, returning to their original clarity. He used his final ounce of strength to grasp Muerxiu's hand: "Xiuer... Master... is sorry to you..."

"Master, do not speak, I will heal your wounds immediately!" Muerxiu's eyes filled with tears as he desperately channeled his remaining spiritual power to try and save his master.

"It is useless... Master knows his own condition..." Mo Qianji smiled weakly, "Xiuer, you did the right thing... Master was blinded by hatred and nearly committed a grave error... That you could hold to your original intent, Master... is very gratified..."

As he spoke, Mo Qianji stuffed a storage ring into Muerxiu's hand: "Inside this... is Master's life's worth of insights... I hope it can be of some help to you... Remember, a cultivator's original intent... must never be forgotten..."

"Master..." Muerxiu's tears dripped onto his master's face.

Mo Qianji used his final strength to stroke Muerxiu's head, just as he had when he was a child: "Good child... Master is leaving... you must live well..."

As the words fell, Mo Qianji closed his eyes peacefully, a smile of relief on his face.

A cyan streak of light cut through the sky like lightning, stopping abruptly above Hunyuan Valley. Xiao Yuan hovered in mid-air, gasping at the scene below.

The entire valley was unrecognizable; the once-towering peaks had been sheared away, and the deep valley floor had been blasted with countless giant craters. Most shocking of all, golden and purple-black energy ripples were constantly colliding and exploding in the air, each impact as deafening as thunder, as if the heavens and earth were trembling for this battle.

"Brother Lin Xuan!" Xiao Yuan spotted the figure in the center of the battlefield at a glance.

The golden Taiji Diagram beside Lin Xuan had expanded to several hundred zhang, its light as scorching as the sun, forming a stark contrast with the Hun Dun Vortex emitting an eerie purple-black glow beneath the feet of Helian Chen opposite him. The two diametrically opposed forces clashed fiercely in the air, the resulting energy fluctuations causing the entire space to tremble violently.

Just as Xiao Yuan prepared to rush down to help, a silver light flashed behind her. The injured Muerxiu endured his intense pain and channeled Void Power to perform Instant Teleportation to the edge of the battlefield.

"Muerxiu! Your wounds..." Xiao Yuan hurried over, unable to help but feel worried upon seeing Muerxiu's pale complexion.

"I am fine." Muerxiu shook his head, his gaze fixed intently on the center of the battlefield, "Now is not the time for this; Brother Lin Xuan needs our help."

Indeed, Lin Xuan's situation at this moment was not optimistic. Although he had grasped the Taiji True Intent that encompasses all, Helian Chen's strength was truly too terrifying. That Hun Dun Power was not only immense in might, but more frighteningly, it could erode and twist everything; even Lin Xuan's Taiji Power was gradually being affected.

"Let us attack together!" Xiao Yuan rushed toward the battlefield without hesitation, the Nature power in her hands beginning to merge with the Pure Soul Power obtained from Wangling Ta, releasing a warm golden glow.

The moment she neared Lin Xuan, a marvelous thing happened. The golden light on Xiao Yuan's body resonated strongly with Lin Xuan's Taiji Power, and the two pure forces of similar essence began to echo one another, forming an even more massive energy field.

"This is..." Lin Xuan felt the familiar aura coming from behind him, and a wave of warmth surged in his heart, "Xiao Yuan, you have come."

"Brother Lin Xuan, I have brought the spiritual heritage of Wangling Ta from ten million years!" Xiao Yuan reached out and took Lin Xuan's hand; in an instant, their powers merged completely.

The golden light became even more brilliant, and the edges of the Taiji Diagram began to sprout the green of life—it was the perfect combination of Nature power and Taiji True Intent. This fusion was not merely an accumulation of power, but a unification of ideals—the cherishing of life, the longing for peace, and the persistence for beauty.

Although Muerxiu was severely wounded, he did not retreat at this critical moment. He gritted his teeth and channeled Void Power, constructing a complex Space Protective Net around the three of them, buying time for the fusion of Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan's powers.

Facing the joint effort of the three, Helian Chen not only showed no signs of panic, but instead revealed a satisfied smile.

"Very good, very good indeed!" He clapped slowly, his voice carrying a sickly excitement, "Only when facing truly powerful opponents can I display the ultimate mystery of Hun Dun Power. Let me show you what true power is!"

As he spoke, Helian Chen raised his arms high, and the Hun Dun Power on his body began to expand crazily. That purple-black energy was no longer confined to his body, but began to spread infinitely toward the surroundings, as if it intended to swallow the entire world.

Even more terrifyingly, as the Hun Dun Power was released, the entire Hunyuan Valley began to undergo eerie changes. Space began to twist, time began to disorder, and the boundaries between reality and illusion became blurred.

Lin Xuan and the others discovered with shock that the scenes before their eyes began to overlap and change. One moment it was the intense battlefield of the present, the next it transformed into an ancient battlefield from a thousand years ago, with the shadows of countless ancient cultivators slaughtering one another in the air; one moment it was the icy world of the Snowy Immortal Mountain, the next it was a doomsday scene of raging fire burning the heavens.

"What kind of magic is this?" Xiao Yuan asked in shock.

"This is not magic," Muerxiu said with a grave expression, "This is direct manipulation of the essence of time and space! He is actually able to disrupt the timelines of the past, present, and future!"
