Chapter 721: Dual Mechanisms, Bloodline Resonance

The automatic unsealing of the Heart of Purification shocked everyone present.

Golden light surged out like a tide, illuminating the entire secret chamber as brightly as day.

Lin Xuan was surprised to discover that the divine artifact did not require him to sacrifice his life; instead, it resonated strongly with the Taiji Creation Bloodline within his body.

"What is happening?" Lin Xuan looked at his hands in confusion.

The Taiji Creation Bloodline fluctuated violently within him, and silver-white light surged from his body, reflecting and shining with the golden light of the Heart of Purification.

Bai Suxue suddenly remembered something, an excited expression appearing on her face.

"I understand!" she said eagerly.

"The ancient records of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan indeed mention this secret!"

"The Heart of Purification has a dual activation mechanism!"

Everyone turned to look at her, their eyes filled with doubt.

Bai Suxue explained quickly: "One is the emergency mode of sacrificing life, and the other is the perfect mode of bloodline resonance."

"The latter requires the cultivator to possess both the power of creation and the Nine-Tailed inheritance!"

"And the bloodline fusion of Lin Xuan and Bai Suxin happens to satisfy this harsh condition!"

The crowd suddenly realized that the righteous experts who designed this ancient divine artifact had long foreseen this situation.

They had set the perfect solution within the divine artifact, but the condition was so harsh that it was treated as a legend.

Lin Xuan felt the changes in his bloodline, and a surge of immense joy rose in his heart.

Without needing to die, he could save the entire Immortal Realm!

The Heart of Purification began to emit an even more dazzling light.

These rays of light were no longer purely golden, but fused with silver and white, corresponding exactly to the characteristics of the Taiji Creation Bloodline.

Lin Xuan could clearly feel the divine artifact beating in synchronization with his own heart, as if it were a part of his own body.

"Great! Lin Xuan doesn't have to die!" Nezha shouted excitedly.

Zhang Wuji also revealed a relieved smile: "I knew there wouldn't be a dead end!"

Although Bai Suxin was weak, happy tears also appeared on her face.

Her biggest worry was that Lin Xuan would sacrifice himself to save the world, and now this nightmare could finally end.

But the Demon God would clearly not sit and wait for death.

Sensing this unprecedented threat, the demon markings on his body began to flicker violently, emitting an angry roar.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" the Demon God shrieked madly.

"How could mere humans master such power!"

He could feel that the power released by the Heart of Purification was disintegrating his Demon God origin bit by bit.

This feeling was more terrifying than death, because it meant he would completely lose everything he was as a Demon God.

Power, memories, and even existence itself would dissipate under the Light of Purification.

The Demon God began to resist desperately, burning all of his Demon God origin.

The entire temple began to shake violently under his frantic counterattack, and the cracks on the walls grew larger and larger.

"Everyone, be careful!" Jian Wentian warned loudly.

"This madman is making his final struggle!"

Blood-red demonic energy surged from the Demon God, forming a fierce confrontation with the holy light of the Heart of Purification.

Inside the entire temple, half was blood-red and half was gold-white, with two completely different energies colliding fiercely in the air.

Every collision produced astonishing energy fluctuations, forcing everyone to retreat repeatedly.

At the same time, the red light at the bottom of the blood pool began to clash fiercely with the golden light.

The Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction experienced unstable fluctuations under the impact of the two forces.

The red light flickered on and off, as if making a final struggle.

"The operation of the Restriction has become chaotic!" Yunyou Zhenren observed the changes in the blood pool.

"The power of the Heart of Purification is reversing the operation of the Restriction!"

This was good news, indicating that the power of the divine artifact could indeed stop the eruption of the Restriction.

But it also brought new dangers; the confrontation between two massive forces could produce even more unpredictable consequences.

Lin Xuan knew the opportunity had arrived; he had to completely purify the Demon God and seal the Core before the divine artifact was fully activated.

"Everyone, buy me time!" Lin Xuan said loudly.

"I need to concentrate on guiding the power of the Heart of Purification!"

Canghai Zhenlong nodded: "Leave it to us!"

"We will never let this Demon God disturb you!"

Jin Mao Hou also roared: "All demon clans, listen to my command!"

"Protect Lin Xuan even if it costs your lives!"

The experts of the human and demon clans joined forces once again, forming a solid defensive line.

Jian Wentian deployed the protective formation of the Heaven Sword Sect: "Nine Heavens Protective Barrier!"

Countless sword lights intertwined in the air, forming a massive protective shield that completely enveloped Lin Xuan.

Yunyou Zhenren also began to chant an incantation: "Taiqing Purification Barrier!"

Pure white light surged from his body, further strengthening the protection.

The Demon Kings also displayed their unique skills, pouring their own power into the defensive system.

The dragon scale barrier of Canghai Zhenlong, the sonic shield of Jin Mao Hou, and the wind-element barrier of Yin Yi—the multiple layers of protection made it impossible for the Demon God to break through for the time being.

Lin Xuan began to focus intently on performing the bloodline fusion with the Heart of Purification.

The Taiji Creation bloodline circulated rapidly within Lin Xuan, synchronizing perfectly with the rhythm of the divine artifact.

He could feel the will and power of countless righteous experts from the past thousands of years contained within the divine artifact.

These powers had once sealed the Demon God, and now they were to completely purify this evil existence.

"With the Taiji Power as the guide, and the Creation bloodline as the medium." Lin Xuan silently recited the guiding incantation.

"Purify all evil, protect the light of the world."

The radiance of the Heart of Purification grew brighter and brighter, beginning to spread throughout the entire temple.

Wherever the light shone, the evil aura immediately began to dissipate.

The black blood in the blood pool began to turn clear, and the demonic patterns on the walls gradually dimmed.

Most importantly, the divine stone at the Core of the Restriction also underwent a change under the illumination of the light.

The divine stone, originally contaminated by evil power, began to bloom with pure light once again.

The operation of the Ancient God-Extinguishing Restriction began to reverse, shifting from destruction mode to sealing mode.

The red light at the bottom of the blood pool faded rapidly, replaced by a gentle white light.

"It worked!" Bai Suxue said excitedly.

"The Restriction has begun to reverse!"

But the Demon God clearly would not admit defeat so easily.

Sensing a threat to his survival, he began to burn his own Demon God origin, preparing for a final, frantic counterattack.

"Since this seat cannot escape, then let everyone be buried with me!"

The Demon God roared madly, his body beginning to swell rapidly.

This was the forbidden self-detonation secret art of the Demon race; once completed, the destructive power generated would exceed the Restriction itself.

"Not good! He is going to self-detonate!" Jian Wentian's expression changed drastically.

"This madman wants to perish together with us!"

At this life-or-death moment, Lin Xuan made his final decision.

He no longer held back any power, fully stimulating the Taiji Creation bloodline.

Silver and white light surged from his body like a tsunami, merging completely with the power of the Heart of Purification.

"Light of Purification—Illuminating All Things!"
