Chapter 723: The Truth Revealed, Nothingness Descends

Just at the critical moment when the Huimie Moshen was about to be completely purified, an unexpected situation occurred.

When the light of purification touched the Core of the Huimie Moshen, the magic patterns on his body suddenly underwent a strange change.

The originally blood-red lines began to flicker, gradually transforming into complex gold and silver colors.

These lines looked neither like the symbols of the Demon race, nor like any known Immortal cultivation Rune.

Instead, they carried an ancient and mysterious aura, as if they were imprints of a civilization from the primordial era.

Even stranger was that the expression of the Huimie Moshen also underwent a fundamental change.

Anger and pain vanished from his face, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.

His blood-red eyes gradually returned to their normal color, and the evil light no longer existed in his gaze.

His entire person seemed as if he had just awakened from a long nightmare.

"This... what is going on?" The Huimie Moshen looked at his own hands, his voice no longer containing the previous evil and violence.

Instead, it carried a deep sense of confusion and remorse.

His voice became gentle, forming a sharp contrast with his previous roars.

Everyone present was stunned; this change had come too suddenly.

Lin Xuan stopped his attack, looking at everything before him in shock.

The light of purification had not destroyed the Huimie Moshen, but had instead dispelled the evil curse that had shrouded him for thousands of years.

"He is not the real Huimie Moshen." Lin Xuan perceived the truth through his Taiji Creation Bloodline.

"The existence before us is, in essence, an ancient great power controlled by an evil force."

As the curse dissipated, this great power's true memories began to revive.

He clutched his head in pain, countless images flashing through his mind.

Those memories sealed by the evil force surged back like a tide.

"I remember... I remember..." he said painfully.

"I am Tianjizi, the leader of the ancient Righteous Alliance."

This name was thunderous; everyone present had heard of it.

Tianjizi was one of the greatest heroes of the Immortal cultivation world thousands of years ago, having once saved the entire Immortal cultivation world.

But in legends, he had long since fallen; how could he appear here?

And as the Huimie Moshen, no less?

Jian Wentian said in shock: "Senior Tianjizi? The legendary Righteous Alliance leader?"

Yunyou Zhenren was also incredulous: "Impossible, didn't you long ago..."

Tianjizi nodded painfully: "Yes, I should be dead."

"But to prevent a greater crisis, I paid a price more miserable than death."

He slowly stood up; although his figure remained tall, his pressure had completely changed.

It was no longer the pressure of an evil Huimie Moshen, but the vast righteous energy of a Righteous path great power.

"Thousands of years ago, my companions and I discovered an even more terrifying existence—the Lord of Nothingness."

Tianjizi's voice was heavy, every word filled with painful memories.

"It is an existence older and more terrifying than the Huimie Moshen, coming from the Hun Dun era before the birth of the Immortal cultivation world."

"The goal of the Lord of Nothingness is to devour the life force of the entire Immortal cultivation world and turn everything into nothingness."

This shocking truth made everyone present gasp.

So the enemy they had been fighting all along was actually a hero who had sacrificed himself to save the world.

Bai Suxue asked with a trembling voice: "Then why did you become the Huimie Moshen?"

Tianjizi smiled bitterly: "To prevent the awakening of the Lord of Nothingness, we set up multiple Seals."

"But the Seals required immense power to maintain, and someone had to bear the backlash of the Lord of Nothingness."

"I volunteered to become the Core of the Seal, bearing the curse of the Lord of Nothingness, so that it could be trapped in the Seal forever."

"But the price was that I was controlled by the curse, turned into the so-called Huimie Moshen, and lost my self-awareness."

Lin Xuan understood everything: "So for these thousands of years, you have been living in pain?"

Tianjizi nodded: "Yes, I was trapped inside my own body, watching helplessly as I committed evil deeds."

"Every slaughter, every act of destruction, was tearing my soul apart."

"But I could not control myself; I was forced to become the embodiment of evil."

Only then did the crowd understand the pain Tianjizi had endured.

As the Righteous Alliance leader, being forced to commit evil acts—this pain was more terrifying than death.

Canghai Zhenlong said with admiration: "Senior's sacrifice makes us admire you."

"If not for your contribution, the Lord of Nothingness would have awakened long ago."

But Tianjizi's expression became even more solemn: "But the situation is critical now."

"Although the light of purification lifted the curse on me, it also weakened the power of the Seal."

"The true purpose of the ancient God-Destroying Restriction was not to destroy me, but to prevent the awakening of the Lord of Nothingness."

"Now the Seal is about to shatter completely, and it may descend at any moment."

As his voice fell, the entire temple began to shake violently.

But the source of this vibration was not the Restriction, but from deep underground.

It was as if some terrifying existence was breaking free from its bonds.

"Boom—"

Huge cracks appeared on the ground, and black aura surged out from the cracks.

This aura was completely different from the previous demonic aura, filled with the scent of nothingness and deathly silence.

Everywhere this aura touched, stones, steel, and even the air began to dissipate.

It was not being destroyed, but vanishing completely, as if it had never existed at all.

"This is the power of nothingness." Tianjizi's face turned pale.

"The Lord of Nothingness is awakening, and its power is beginning to leak out."

Lin Xuan felt the terror of this power; even his Taiji Genesis Bloodline was trembling.

This power of nothingness seemed capable of devouring everything, including life, souls, and even existence itself.

"What should we do?" Jian Wentian asked anxiously.

Tianjizi pondered for a moment: "There is only one way now."

"Reinforce the Seal and trap the Lord of Nothingness once again."

"But this requires immense power, and it requires someone to bear the curse once more."

He looked at Lin Xuan: "Only someone possessing the Taiji Genesis Bloodline can endure this curse without losing themselves."

Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation: "I will do it!"

But Bai Suxin hurriedly stopped him: "No! You have already endured too much!"

Nezha and Zhang Wuji also disagreed: "Lin Xuan, let us think of another way!"

Just then, the tremors from deep underground became even more violent.

A voice filled with malice came from beneath the ground:

"Tianjizi... do you think that by lifting the curse you can stop me?"

"Thousands of years of the Seal have only made me stronger; now it is time to reclaim everything that belongs to me."

No sooner had Tianjizi finished speaking than the entire Ten Thousand Demon Island began to undergo drastic changes.

The tremors inside the temple grew more intense, and larger cracks appeared on the walls.

But even more terrifying was that these tremors began to spread outward, affecting the entire island.

Even in the sea thousands of miles away, giant waves were stirred up, reaching tens of meters in height and rolling like mountain peaks.

Eerie black cracks appeared in the sky, as if the firmament itself had been torn apart.
