Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2253

"Trying to self-destruct? Not so easy!"

Ye Qingyu and Di Xin attacked simultaneously, their golden sword light intertwining with the Human Emperor Sword to form a massive cage of light that trapped the Void General.

"Purification of the Humanistic Sword Technique's Origin!"

"Human Emperor's Sword Technique: Annihilation of All Spirits!"

Two sword beams struck the general simultaneously, forcibly suppressing his self-destructive power. His body was rapidly purified in the golden light, eventually turning into ashes.

The remaining Void Warriors, leaderless, were quickly slaughtered by the others.

Di Xin and his men dared not delay and quickly rushed into the Temple of Humanity.

The hall suddenly opened up, with a long passageway in the center. On both sides of the passageway stood countless statues of ancient gods and demons, each holding a different weapon and with a majestic gaze, as if watching over every intruder.

At the end of the passageway was a huge hall. On the high platform in the center of the hall, a golden sphere of light floated, radiating a rich power of humanity's origin, which was the humanistic legacy left behind by the ancient gods and demons!
Below the high platform,

Countless ancient weapons and elixirs were also displayed, exuding an alluring aura.

"That is the inheritance of humanity!"

Excitement flashed in Ye Qingyu's eyes. As long as they obtained the inheritance, they would have the strength to fight against the Void Emperor.

Just at this time,

A low laugh suddenly came from the depths of the hall, and a black figure slowly walked out, exuding an aura that was the same as that of the Void Emperor, but more solid than the projection of the Void Emperor's will.

"Congratulations everyone, after overcoming many hardships, you have finally arrived here."

The figure turned around, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to Emperor Xin, with black light gleaming in its eyes.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the dark side of Di Xin, and also the Void Seed that was sealed in the Holy Temple by the ancient gods and demons—Xuan Ye."

Di Xin's expression changed drastically, and the essence of the human emperor within his body began to stir, as if it resonated with the figure named Xuan Ye.

"Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"

Xuan Ye chuckled softly, and the black void power around him surged:

“I am you, the deepest desire for power within you, the suppressed darkness. When the ancient gods and demons sealed the Void Emperor, they infused a wisp of his essence into your bloodline, which became me. Now, you have awakened the Temple, and you have awakened me as well.”

He raised his hand and waved it, sending the black void power reaching towards the golden sphere of light on the platform.

"This legacy of humanity will ultimately be mine!"

The black void power, like a black dragon's claws, lunged towards the golden orb on the high platform.

Xuan Ye's movements were extremely fast, and the black mist around him surged, repelling the golden human power within the temple and forming distorted energy ripples.

Di Xin's pupils shrank suddenly, and the essence of the human emperor within his body boiled uncontrollably, as if another soul was roaring in his blood, wanting to resonate and merge with Xuan Ye.

"Don't think about it!"

He roared, and the Emperor's Sword was suddenly drawn, its golden light tearing through the air and piercing straight for Xuan Ye's back.

Xuan Ye curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, without turning his head, he casually waved his left arm, and the power of black void condensed into a shield, blocking the Emperor's Sword with a "clang".

The golden sword light collided with the black shield wall, bursting out a piercing metallic roar. Di Xin felt an overwhelming force coming from the sword, which caused his tiger's mouth to split open and his body to retreat repeatedly.

"Di Xin, we are of the same origin, why must we kill each other?"

Xuan Ye slowly turned around, the black light in his eyes growing even stronger.
"If you are willing to accept me, we can merge into a perfect being, the Human Emperor and the Void. At that time, not only the Void Emperor, but the entire Three Realms will grovel at your feet." "Nonsense!"

Di Xin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the Human Emperor's essence burned even brighter, golden human destiny transforming into flames that surrounded his body.

"My path is to protect all living beings, not to succumb to darkness! You are nothing but a remnant of the void; do not try to bewitch me with words!"

He leaped into the air once more, and the Emperor's Sword unleashed a dazzling golden light.

"The Emperor's Sword Technique is for the sake of all living beings!"

The golden sword light, carrying the prayers of countless beings, swept towards Xuan Ye, causing the black void power to retreat wherever it passed.

Xuan Ye's smile faded, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes:
"Stubborn fool! Since you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for disregarding our shared origins!"

The black void power around him surged, transforming into a huge black shadow that collided with Di Xin's golden sword light.

"boom!"

The entire hall trembled violently, the ancient god and demon statues shook, and the weapons on both sides of the passageway emitted a mournful buzzing sound.

Golden and black energies intertwined and collided wildly in the air, sometimes bursting out with golden light that purified everything, and sometimes spreading out black mist that corroded everything.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyu's golden flames surged on his Qingfeng Sword, unleashing the power of the late-stage Transcendent Realm without reservation: "Di Xin, I'm here to help you!"

He leaped into the air, his humanity and righteous energy merging within him.
"The Humane Sword Technique, Righteous and Powerful, Subdues Evil!"

The golden sword light, imbued with pure, righteous energy, slashed towards Xuan Ye's flank.

Not to be outdone, Meng Shengren unfurled his ink-black scroll, and countless golden runes surged forth like a tide, transforming into a solid barrier that blocked the spreading power of the void. At the same time, he chanted the "Ode to Righteousness," and pure righteous energy continuously flowed into Di Xin's body, stabilizing his restless imperial origin.

Kong Xuan's body swirled with seven-colored divine light, transforming into a colorful light curtain that protected Yan Hui and the other surviving disciples behind him. At the same time, he also diverted some of his divine light to entwine around Xuan Ye.

"How dare you act so presumptuously here, such a monstrous creature of the void!"

The seven-colored divine light contained multiple powers such as purification, binding, and attack, instantly binding Xuan Ye's limbs and attempting to imprison him.

Yuan Futong and the Sword Master exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously. Their saber energy and sword intent intertwined to form a net, targeting Xuan Ye's vital points. Together with Di Xin and Ye Qingyu's attacks, they formed an encirclement.

A look of horror flashed in Xuan Ye's eyes, which then turned into a ferocious grin: "You think you can trap me?"

He suddenly activated the Void Origin within his body, and the black mist surged instantly, actually breaking free from the restraints of the Seven-Colored Divine Light.

"Void Secret Technique: Black Abyss Devouring!"

He opened his mouth wide, and a huge suction force burst out from it. The golden human power in the hall was frantically devoured by him, and the light of the golden sphere on the high platform dimmed a little.

"Oh no! He's absorbing the power of humanity to strengthen himself!"

Sage Meng's expression changed drastically. He unfurled the ink-black scroll at full power, and golden runes formed a barrier to block the suction force.

"Ye Qingyu, quickly find a way to stop him! Otherwise, if he absorbs enough of the humanistic inheritance, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ye Qingyu's eyes were solemn. He could feel that Xuan Ye's power was rapidly increasing. If this continued, even Di Xin would probably find it difficult to resist.

His mind raced, and he suddenly recalled the Heavenly Elder's previous deductions: the core of the barrier lay in the balance of power.

As a seed of the void, Xuan Ye can devour the power of humanity, but its essence is still the power of the void. Perhaps it can be countered with extreme purification power.
