Chapter 827: Abnormal Movement in the Demon Abyss, the Power of Destruction

"Precisely because of this, I must go," Lin Xuan interrupted. "If the Origin of Destruction loses control, the entire Heavens and Myriad Worlds will be affected. Furthermore..."

He paused: "Mo Wuji being injured is the best opportunity for me to subdue the Origin of Destruction."

The nine Great Empresses looked at each other, knowing they could not dissuade him, and could only urge His Majesty to be careful.

Lin Xuan comforted the women with a few words, then set off for the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss is located in the extreme west of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, a bottomless abyss. Here, demonic energy surges into the sky; it is the base camp of the Demon race.

When Lin Xuan approached the Demon Abyss, he saw a shocking scene.

The entire sky above the Demon Abyss was filled with purple-black power of destruction. These forces were like physical matter, tearing countless cracks into space. From time to time, powerful members of the Demon race would try to get close, only to be instantly annihilated by the power of destruction.

"Who goes there?"

A figure suddenly appeared before Lin Xuan; it was none other than the Great Elder of the Demon Abyss, Mo Tian.

"Emperor Lun Hui?" Mo Tian recognized Lin Xuan, his expression shifting slightly. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard the Demon Abyss was in trouble, so I came specifically to assist," Lin Xuan said calmly.

Mo Tian sneered: "Emperor Lun Hui, you have a big mouth. Even our Demon Lord cannot suppress this power of destruction; what method could you possibly have?"

"That remains to be seen," Lin Xuan said, moving to head deeper into the Demon Abyss.

"Stop!" Mo Tian blocked his path. "The Demon Abyss is a restricted area; how can an outsider enter at will?"

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold: "I am here to help, not to pick a fight. If the Origin of Destruction loses control completely because of your obstruction, can you bear that responsibility?"

Mo Tian was rendered speechless.

Just then, a weak voice came through: "Let him in."

Mo Tian's expression changed: "Demon Lord!"

"Let Emperor Lun Hui enter; perhaps he truly has a way."

Mo Tian dared not disobey and could only clear the path.

Lin Xuan flashed, entering the depths of the Demon Abyss.

At the bottom of the Demon Abyss stood a black palace. In front of the palace, a middle-aged man in black robes sat cross-legged, his face pale and blood at the corner of his mouth.

This was the Lord of the Demon Abyss, Mo Wuji, a genuine Emperor Realm powerhouse.

"Emperor Lun Hui, I have long heard of your name." Mo Wuji opened his eyes, a flicker of vigilance in them.

"You are too polite, Demon Lord." Lin Xuan scrutinized the other party. "It seems the backlash from the Origin of Destruction is not light."

Mo Wuji gave a bitter smile: "I underestimated the terror of the Origin power. I originally intended to refine it by force, but as a result..."

He pointed to the deepest part of the abyss: "The Origin of Destruction is right there, but it has completely run wild. Anyone who approaches will be annihilated by the power of destruction."

Lin Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and saw, in the deepest part of the abyss, a mass of pure purple-black energy surging wildly. That was the Core of the Origin of Destruction.

"I can try," Lin Xuan said, "but there is a condition."

"What condition?" Mo Wuji asked vigilantly.

"If I can subdue the Origin of Destruction, it shall belong to me. In exchange, I can help the Demon Abyss survive this crisis and teach you a technique to restrain the backlash of the power of destruction."

Mo Wuji fell silent. The Origin of Destruction was of great significance to the Demon race; if it were handed over to an outsider...

But looking at the still-expanding power of destruction, he knew he had no other choice. If he let it continue to develop, the entire Demon Abyss would be destroyed.

"Fine, I agree," Mo Wuji gritted his teeth. "But if you fail..."

"I never do things I am not certain of," Lin Xuan said confidently.

Having said that, he walked directly toward the Origin of Destruction.

When he reached a certain distance, the terrifying power of destruction swept over. This force sought to destroy everything, annihilate everything, and could even grind down the laws themselves.

But Lin Xuan did not dodge or evade; his Dao Fruit of Lun Hui emerged, and he mobilized the power of the Origin of Life and Death.

"The end of destruction is rebirth, and after rebirth comes destruction once more," Lin Xuan said softly. "This is, by nature, a part of Lun Hui."

He reached out his hand, the power of life and death flowing in his palm. When the power of destruction touched the power of life and death, it miraculously calmed down.

Mo Wuji's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

Lin Xuan did not answer, but continued forward. He already understood that there was a connection between the nine Origins. The more Origins one mastered, the easier it was to subdue a new one.

Finally, he arrived before the Core of the Origin of Destruction.

It was a pitch-black crystal, containing power sufficient to destroy the world.

"Come," Lin Xuan reached out. "Become a part of my power."

The Origin of Destruction seemed to feel the attraction of the Dao Fruit of Lun Hui and actually flew toward Lin Xuan of its own accord. The moment it merged into the Dao Fruit of Lun Hui, Lin Xuan felt his power increase once again.

The three Origins echoed each other within the Dao Fruit of Lun Hui, forming a perfect balance.

"He succeeded..." Mo Wuji muttered, his eyes filled with both reluctance and admiration.

Lin Xuan put away the Origin and turned to look at Mo Wuji: "As agreed, here is the technique."

He flicked his finger, and a stream of light entered the center of Mo Wuji's brow. It was a method specifically for restraining Origin backlash, which he had comprehended from the *Eternal Heavenly Book*.

After receiving the information, Mo Wuji's eyes revealed surprise: "What a profound technique! Many thanks, Emperor Lun Hui."

"No need for thanks," Lin Xuan said calmly. "The Great Calamity is approaching; the Heavens and Myriad Worlds need to be united. If the Demon Abyss is willing, you may consider joining the alliance."

Mo Wuji pondered: "I need to consider it."

Lin Xuan nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.

He had already obtained what he wanted. As for whether the Demon Abyss joined, it was not important.

Not long after Lin Xuan left the Demon Abyss, Sanskrit sounds suddenly erupted in the Void, and golden light shone everywhere.

A giant golden lotus descended from the sky, and an old monk sat atop it. The old monk had a kind face, wore a kasaya, and was surrounded by Buddha light.

"Amitabha, please stay, Benefactor Lun Hui." The old monk pressed his palms together.

Lin Xuan stopped and turned to look: "Someone from the Buddha Sect?"

"This humble monk is Du'e, acting on the orders of the Buddha Lord to specifically meet Benefactor Lun Hui," the old monk smiled.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly. The Buddha Sect had always been reclusive and rarely took the initiative to contact the outside world. Sending someone to find him now must mean they had an ulterior motive.

"I wonder what business the Great Master has with me?"

Monk Du'e stood up from the golden lotus: "The Buddha Lord says that Benefactor Lun Hui has a predestined affinity with our Buddha Sect, and specifically invites the Benefactor to visit the Buddha Sect for a talk."

"A predestined affinity?" Lin Xuan sneered, "I'm afraid you've set your sights on the Origin Power in my hands."

Monk Du'e was noncommittal: "The Benefactor's eyes are like torches. Indeed, the Origin of Karma has appeared in the world, right here in Mount Sumeru of our Buddha Sect. But this origin is deeply intertwined with the Buddha Dharma and cannot be obtained by anyone who lacks a predestined affinity."

"So you want me to go and retrieve it?"

"Not so." Du'e shook his head, "The Buddha Lord wishes to make a trade with the Benefactor."

Lin Xuan became interested: "Let's hear it."

"The Buddha Lord knows that the Benefactor is collecting the Nine Great Origins and is willing to help the Benefactor obtain the Origin of Karma," Monk Du'e said, "but in exchange, the Benefactor needs to help our Buddha Sect resolve a trouble."

"What trouble?"
