Chapter 592: Purifying the Demon God, Rediscovering the Original Heart

"It is the Great Primordial Lun Hui!" Ancestor Xinghe looked at the two people in the air in shock, "They actually managed to perform this legendary divine ability!"

Huiming Fangzhang pressed his palms together, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Amitabha, this great kindness is something this old monk will never forget for all eternity."

The entire battlefield was enveloped by layers of brilliant light; it was a manifestation of time and space being reshaped. Every ray of light contained the immense power to alter heaven and earth, leaving everyone feeling an unprecedented shock.

Ancestor Taixuan said with a tremble: "Is this the power of the Primordial era? Is this the divine ability of the legendary Immortal Lords and Immortal Fairies?"

Zhang Wuji was even more moved to tears: "The seniors... in order to save us, they actually paid such a huge price..."

However, the bodies of Xiao Yuan and Lin Xuan, who were performing the Great Primordial Lun Hui, were also becoming increasingly illusory in the process. While this spell reversed the outside world, it was also constantly consuming their life essence.

"Xiao Yuan... hold on..." Lin Xuan felt his life force draining away rapidly, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"I am not afraid... as long as I can be with you... even if I dissipate into the long river of time... I am willing..." Xiao Yuan's voice became ethereal, but the determination in her eyes never wavered.

Just then, Cihang Xianzi suddenly took action, injecting her own immortal power into the two of them: "Two Immortal Lords, let this humble practitioner lend you a hand! A divine ability of this magnitude cannot be completed by the two of you alone!"

It was not just Cihang Xianzi; those resurrected heroes also took action one after another, offering their own power to the two in the air. Ancestor Jianchi's sword intent, Ancestor Xinghe's star power, and Huiming Fangzhang's Buddhist light—all power converged into the Great Primordial Lun Hui.

"Since all the seniors have such resolve, how can we juniors stand by and watch!" Ancestor Taixuan also began to burn his true essence, channeling power to the two of them.

Although the rogue practitioners like Zhang Wuji had limited cultivation, they also contributed their own strength without hesitation.

The power of the Great Primordial Lun Hui swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami, and the pure light of origin illuminated every inch of space. This light had no aggression, but it contained the most primitive power of purification, capable of washing away all filth and evil in the world.

The Hun Dun Demon God began to undergo an incredible transformation in the face of this power. Its originally indestructible demonic body began to tremble, and the monstrous evil aura it emitted dissipated rapidly like snow meeting the scorching sun. Its black scales began to fall off, revealing the jade-white divine body beneath.

"This... what is this?" The Hun Dun Demon God looked at the changes happening to itself in terror, "My demonic body... my power..."

However, what shocked it even more was yet to come. As the evil aura dissipated, memories obscured by hatred and pain began to surge like a tide. Distant scenes flashed through its mind: a blue sky, white clouds, and a gentle, beautiful figure smiling at it.

"No... impossible..." The Hun Dun Demon God's voice began to tremble, and crystalline tears welled up in its three blood-red eyes, "I remember... I remember now..."

Everyone present was shocked by this scene. No one expected that this fierce Hun Dun Demon God would actually shed tears, and those tears were so pure, without a trace of evil aura.

Seeing this, a flash of realization crossed Cihang Xianzi's eyes: "So that is how it is... it was not originally an evil being..."

As the purification deepened, the changes in the Hun Dun Demon God became more and more obvious. Its ferocious face began to soften, its six thick arms began to retract, and the barbs and scales on its body fell off one after another. More importantly, the hatred and madness in its eyes were disappearing, replaced by deep pain and remorse.

"I was originally a Dharma-protecting god who guarded all living beings..." The Hun Dun Demon God's voice became choked with sobs, "Named... named Cibei Tianshen. My mission was to protect those innocent creatures, and I once swore to protect this world with my life..."

Its words shocked everyone present. A Dharma-protecting god? This fierce Demon God was once a righteous deity who guarded all living beings?

"Then why did you become like this?" Ancestor Taixuan could not help but ask.

The Hun Dun Demon God—no, it should be called Cibei Tianshen—slowly raised its head, its eyes filled with endless pain: "Because... because I lost the person I loved most... my Dao companion, Yuehua Xianzi..."

As memories returned, a sad past began to emerge. It turned out that in the Primordial era, Cibei Tianshen and Yuehua Xianzi were a loving Dao companion pair. They worked together to maintain the harmony of heaven and earth and protect countless living beings. However, in a battle against demons, Yuehua Xianzi sacrificed herself to save the world.

"She died in my arms... her blood stained my hands red..." Cibei Tianshen held its head in pain, "I swore to protect her, but I failed... I could not protect her well..."

The blow of losing its beloved twisted Cibei Tianshen's nature. It began to question the meaning of protecting living beings and began to hate those who survived because of Yuehua Xianzi's sacrifice. Gradually, its compassionate heart was replaced by hatred, its power of justice was polluted by evil, and it eventually fell into becoming the Hun Dun Demon God.

"I hate... I hate the heartlessness of the world, I hate the injustice of fate... I hate this world that made me lose everything..." Cibei Tianshen's tears fell like raindrops, "So I want to destroy everything and let everyone experience the pain of losing their beloved..."

After hearing this past, everyone present fell silent. They did not expect that this fierce Demon God had such a sad past behind it. Even Ancestor Jianchi, who hated demons the most, could not help but be moved at this moment.

Xiao Yuan and Lin Xuan looked at each other, both seeing sympathy and understanding in the other's eyes. As the Primordial Immortal Lord and the World-Purifying Fairy, they understood the pain of losing a beloved best, and they understood the importance of love to a Practitioner best.

"I understand your pain," Xiao Yuan said softly, her voice filled with tenderness and compassion, "Losing a beloved is indeed the most painful thing in the world."

"However," Lin Xuan interjected, "your Dao companion chose to sacrifice herself to save the world because she had love in her heart, and compassion for all living beings. If she knew that you had fallen into the demonic path because of her death and were harming innocent creatures, how much pain would she be in?"

This sentence struck Cibei Tianshen's heart like a bolt of lightning. Yes, the last thing Yuehua Xianzi would want to see was him becoming what he was now. Her sacrifice was to save all living beings, but he wanted to destroy them; was this not the greatest betrayal of her?

"Yuehua... I have failed you... I have failed you..." Cibei Tianshen burst into tears, the pain and remorse accumulated over a thousand years erupting at this moment.
