Chapter 720: The Hero Awakens, A New Beginning

The golden light flowing inside the Heart of Purification became even purer, and the energy fluctuations it emitted left everyone present in shock.

Lin Xuan was stunned; he could feel the divine artifact actively responding to his own bloodline power.

The Taiji Creation Bloodline resonated intensely with the Heart of Purification, as if the two were originally one.

Suddenly, he understood.

As it turned out, the Taiji Creation Bloodline itself possessed the ability to activate the divine artifact.

There was no need to sacrifice a life; one only needed to inject all the bloodline power into the divine artifact.

Although doing this would cause him to lose his bloodline power and become an ordinary person from then on, at least he would not die.

"So that's how it is." A look of relief appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

He turned to look at Bai Suxin, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Suxin, I won't die."

"But I will lose all my power and become an ordinary person from now on."

"Are you still willing to be with an ordinary person?"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope reignited in Bai Suxin's eyes.

She nodded with all her might, tears welling up again: "I am willing... of course I am willing..."

"As long as you are still alive... nothing else matters..."

Lin Xuan pressed his hands onto the Heart of Purification without hesitation.

The power of the Taiji Creation Bloodline began to flow into the divine artifact in a steady stream.

Silver-white light surged from his body, flowing into the Heart of Purification like a tide.

As the bloodline power was injected, Lin Xuan could feel himself losing his extraordinary abilities.

The power of time and space was dissipating, and the inheritance of the Nine-Tailed Bloodline was vanishing.

Yet there was no regret in his heart, only satisfaction and peace.

To be able to save this world, what did losing his power matter?

After the Heart of Purification was activated, it erupted with an unprecedented holy light.

The pure white light surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire temple.

This light was more dazzling than the sun, yet it would not harm any kind-hearted life.

On the contrary, it made everyone feel warm and healed, and the injuries on their bodies recovered rapidly under the illumination of the light.

But for evil existences, this light was the most terrifying poison.

The Demon God let out a painful roar under the illumination of this light.

"Ah! What is this light! Why is it so blinding!"

The evil energy on his body began to dissipate rapidly, melting like ice and snow encountering a scorching sun.

The massive demonic body became increasingly transparent, and those eerie demonic patterns disappeared one by one.

The Demon God struggled desperately to resist, but the power of the Light of Purification far exceeded his imagination.

This was a divine artifact born specifically to target evil; no evil could exist before it.

"No! This seat is an existence that cannot die or be destroyed!"

"This seat is not reconciled! Not reconciled!"

The Demon God's consciousness struggled within the Light of Purification, attempting a final resistance.

He burned his remaining origin, wanting to rush out of the light's coverage.

But the power of the Heart of Purification was too great, trapping him firmly like a net cast from heaven.

No matter how he struggled, he could not escape the fate of being purified.

Even more miraculously, the Light of Purification was not only destroying the Demon God but also repairing the damaged Seal.

The Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction at the bottom of the blood pool sensed the power of purification, and those evil Runes that were about to erupt began to gradually extinguish.

The entire Restriction system seemed to have been repaired, returning to a stable state.

The tremors of the temple slowly subsided, and the cracks on the walls also healed under the illumination of the light.

The final layer of the Seal on the Nine Nether Demon Scripture completely dissipated under the illumination of the Light of Purification.

This evil tome let out a final wail, then turned into fly ash, disappearing from the world completely.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the tension they had felt for so long was finally eased.

The crisis was resolved, the Demon God was about to be completely purified, and the world was saved.

Jian Wentian said excitedly: "It worked! We succeeded!"

The Canghai True Dragon also wore a look of relief: "Little friend Lin Xuan is truly our savior."

But just at this moment, the Demon God made a final, insane move before his death.

Knowing he could no longer escape the fate of being purified, he simply chose to perish together with everyone.

"Since this seat is going to die, then let everyone be buried with me!"

The Demon God gathered all his remaining Demon God origin together, forming a massive black energy ball.

The energy ball emitted a destructive pressure, and the power contained within it was enough to blow the entire temple into dust.

Once it exploded, the power would be no less than the Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction, and everyone present would be unable to escape death.

"Careful!" Yunyou Zhenren warned loudly.

But the black energy ball condensed too quickly, and the group had no time to react at all.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan burned his final bloodline power without hesitation.

Although most of his power had already been injected into the Heart of Purification, he still retained a sliver of Taiji Power.

"Taiji Protection—Ten Thousand Dharmas Cannot Invade!"

A golden protective barrier instantly expanded, shielding everyone inside.

The protective barrier emitted a gentle yet resilient glow, surrounding everyone like an eggshell.

But Lin Xuan fainted on the ground due to exhaustion, no longer able to support his body.

"Boom!"

The Demon God's energy sphere exploded, and a terrifying shockwave swept through the entire temple.

"Boom!"

The Demon God's self-destruction attack was successfully resisted by the Taiji protective barrier, and the massive explosion echoed through the clouds.

The entire temple shook violently in this shockwave, and new cracks appeared on the walls.

But the protective barrier set up by Lin Xuan was incomparably resilient, firmly protecting everyone inside.

The black energy surged against the golden barrier like a tide, emitting a harsh, grating sound.

But the protective barrier never shattered, successfully withstanding the Demon God's final frantic attack.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the Demon God had completely vanished, leaving only black ashes on the ground.

Under the illumination of the Heart of Purification, these ashes dissipated rapidly, disappearing from the world entirely.

The terrifying existence from the ancient era was finally completely eliminated, and would never threaten this world again.

After completing its mission, the Heart of Purification also lost its radiance, turning back into an ordinary crystal-like object.

It floated quietly in the air, its surface devoid of the holy light it had before.

But it had already left a significant mark in the history of the cultivation world, becoming a divine artifact that saved the world.

"It's over... it's finally over." The Vast Sea True Dragon let out a long sigh.

Yunyou Zhenren also slumped onto the ground: "The three-thousand-year Seal has finally been completely resolved today."

Jian Wentian looked at the black ash covering the ground, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "It was close; the entire cultivation world was nearly destroyed."

Everyone was celebrating this hard-won victory, but there was even more concern for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan lay on the ground, his face pale as paper, his breathing weak.

There was no longer any fluctuation of bloodline power on his body, and that transcendent aura had completely vanished.

The power of the Taiji Creation Bloodline had been completely exhausted, and he had transformed from a genius cultivator possessing a mysterious bloodline into a completely ordinary person.
