Chapter 707: Space-Time Reversal, A Choice of Life and Death
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands.
The power of space-time gathered at his fingertips, and subtle ripples appeared in the air.
"Time Deceleration Art—tenfold delay!"
In an instant, the flow of time throughout the entire temple dropped sharply.
The Demon God consciousness's movement to launch an attack became extremely slow, as if trapped in thick glue.
The churning blood waves in the blood pool also turned into slow motion, and the splashing of every single drop of blood was clearly visible.
Even the dust dancing in the air seemed to have come to a standstill.
"Is this the power of space-time?" Bai Suxin looked at the scene before her in shock.
She discovered that she and Lin Xuan were unaffected, still maintaining a normal flow of time.
Lin Xuan nodded: "I can control the range of influence. Now the Demon God's movements are only one-tenth of their normal speed; we have enough time to act."
But he soon discovered a problem.
Maintaining such a large-scale time deceleration required consuming immense mental energy, and beads of sweat were already seeping from his forehead.
More importantly, this ability was only a temporary suppression and could not fundamentally solve the problem.
"I need to foresee the Demon God's complete plan." Lin Xuan closed his eyes and cast his consciousness toward the future.
Countless images flashed through his mind, switching rapidly like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, a terrifying scene made his heart turn cold.
He saw that after the Demon God was resurrected, it did not immediately attack the Immortal Realm, but instead opened a massive portal in the center of the blood pool.
That gate radiated profound darkness, connecting to an Otherworldly Space filled with an evil aura.
Countless demon warriors surged out from the gate, each possessing strength comparable to a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Tens of thousands of demon legions poured into the Immortal Realm like a tide, leaving nothing alive in their wake.
The sky was blotted out, and the earth turned into scorched soil.
The human race and the demon race joined forces to resist, but facing such a massive enemy army, they soon collapsed.
In the end, the entire Immortal Realm was reduced to a colony of the demon race.
"So that's how it is." Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his expression grave.
"The Demon God's goal is not just to resurrect, but to open a planar portal and summon the entire demon legion!"
Bai Suxin gasped: "If that is true, the power of the Immortal Realm alone cannot resist it."
"Everything must be stopped before it is fully resurrected." Lin Xuan looked at the Nine Nether Demon Scripture in the blood pool.
"I must attempt a more dangerous operation—reversing the evil power accumulated in the blood pool."
Nezha and Zhang Wuji exchanged a glance, both seeing the risks involved.
"Lin Xuan, this ability to defy the heavens and change fate must come with a huge price," Zhang Wuji said worriedly.
"Let us think of other ways."
Lin Xuan shook his head: "There is no time. The war outside is still ongoing; for every person who dies, the Demon God's power grows stronger."
"His source of power must be cut off."
He used his precognition ability again, this time seeing the specific method to reverse the blood pool.
It required injecting the power of creation into the Core Dharma Array at the bottom of the blood pool, then reversing the entire evil cycle.
But this process would consume most of his life essence and could even lead to death.
"I have decided." Lin Xuan walked toward the edge of the blood pool.
"Nezha, Zhang Wuji, you must immediately set up a protective Array around the temple to prevent negative energy from continuing to pour in."
Although the two were worried, they knew this was not the time for hesitation.
Nezha took out the Fire-Tipped Spear and the Red Armillary Sash: "No problem, we will guard the perimeter."
Zhang Wuji also drew his Long Sword: "Lin Xuan, you must come out alive."
The two quickly rushed out of the temple and began setting up the protective Array on the outside.
Lin Xuan turned to Bai Suxin: "Suxin, it will be very dangerous next; you should retreat to a safe distance first."
Bai Suxin, however, shook her head: "I will not leave you."
A determined light burned in her eyes: "And I have a way to help you."
No sooner had she spoken than the remaining three tails behind her began to burn.
The brilliant flames were not scorching; instead, they radiated a warm aura of life.
"Suxin, what are you doing?" Lin Xuan looked at her in shock.
"Burning my final demon core and tails to Zhuanghua all my demon power into pure Life Energy." Bai Suxin's voice was weak, but her tone was resolute.
"I can feel the bloodline resonance between you and me; I can transmit this energy directly to you."
As the tails burned, her cultivation level dropped rapidly, but the Life Energy being converted was extremely pure.
Through some mysterious connection, these energies began to flow into Lin Xuan's body.
Lin Xuan felt his life force recovering rapidly, and his nearly exhausted creation bloodline regained its vitality.
"Thank you, Suxin." He looked at her deeply.
"I will definitely not let your sacrifice be in vain."
Having said that, Lin Xuan leaped into the blood pool.
The protective shield formed by the power of creation protected him, but the corrosiveness of the blood was stronger than he had imagined.
The shield was being consumed rapidly; he had to complete the task as soon as possible.
He dove into the depths of the blood pool and found the Core Dharma Array at the bottom.
It was a massive hexagram pattern composed of countless evil Runes.
Every Rune was absorbing the resentment of the dead, Zhuanghua-ing it into the power of the Demon God.
"Begin." Lin Xuan pressed both hands into the center of the Dharma Array.
"Space-Time Reversal—Causality Reshaping!"
This was the most dangerous ability within the Creation Bloodline, capable of correcting causal relationships within a limited range.
Powerful space-time force surged out from his body, beginning to reverse the evil cycle of the entire blood pool.
In an instant, intense pain swept through his entire body.
Fine cracks began to appear on his skin, just like the crazing on the surface of porcelain.
Fresh blood seeped out from the fissures, spreading into the bloody water.
This was the damage caused by space-time tearing; for every bit of evil power he reversed, his body had to endure the corresponding backlash.
"Ah!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, struggling to endure this heart-rending, lung-splitting pain.
But he did not stop; instead, he increased his power output.
The Dharma Array in the blood pool began to change.
The originally evil Runes were purified by the power of creation, one by one Zhuanghua-ing into sacred symbols of light.
The negative energy accumulated over a thousand years began to dissipate, and the color of the bloody water gradually faded.
The Demon God consciousness felt the loss of power and let out an angry roar.
Although bound by time deceleration, he was still struggling desperately.
"Brat, you dare to destroy this seat's foundation!"
His voice became distorted, filled with madness and despair.
"Even if you destroy the blood pool, this seat will drag you down to die together!"
The Demon God consciousness burned its own existence, attempting to launch a final attack.
But just at this moment, a strong energy fluctuation came from outside the temple.
The defensive Array set up by Nezha and Zhang Wuji was finally completed.
A massive curtain of light surrounded the entire temple, and negative energy from the outside could no longer enter.
At the same time, the Life Energy being burned by Bai Suxin was also continuously supporting Lin Xuan.
