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

Chapter 2260

The group dived into the sea. The entrance to the secret realm was shrouded in a thick black light curtain, which was covered with void runes and exuded a chilling aura.

Kong Xuan unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light, with five rays of light—red, yellow, blue, black, and white—intertwining into a net that slammed into the light barrier: "Break!"

With a deafening roar, the light screen trembled violently, and countless black runes turned to ashes under the scorching divine light.

The gate to the secret realm slowly opened, revealing a vibrant underwater paradise—

Exotic flowers and rare herbs abound, and a clear spring flows gently, creating a stark contrast to the darkness outside.

In the center of the cave, a verdant vine twined around the jade stone, with a small golden flower blooming at its tip—the Zhenxu Vine!
"We've finally found it!"

Nezha was overjoyed and was about to go forward to pick it when Kong Xuan stopped him:

"Be careful, there are void restrictions around us."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless cracks suddenly appeared in the ground, and black void power surged out, transforming into several void sea monsters that rushed towards the group.

These sea monsters are enormous, covered in hard shells, and spew black venom from their mouths.

Li Jing threw the exquisite pagoda into the air, and the pagoda magnified several times, casting down countless golden rays that trapped the sea monster.

Yang Jian, wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword, leaped into the air. With a flash of light, the sea monster's shell shattered.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kong Xuan activated the Five-Colored Divine Light, which swept up the Zhenxu Vine along with the jade below.

Just then, a chilling laugh echoed from the depths of the secret realm: "Kong Xuan, do you think you can easily take away the Zhenxu Vine?"

A black figure slowly emerged, dressed in a black robe with fish scales, with a ferocious face, and exuding an aura of the same origin as the Left Envoy of the Void.

"The Right Envoy of the Void!"

Yang Jian's eyes narrowed. "I never expected you to be hiding here guarding the Zhenxu Vine."

The Void Envoy sneered, conjuring a black trident in his hand: "The Void-Suppressing Vine is the nemesis of my race, how can you take it away? Today, you will all stay in this seabed!"

The trident, carrying earth-shattering power, pierced towards Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan, protected by five-colored divine light, engaged in a fierce battle with the Right Envoy of the Void.

The five-colored divine light swept away everything, and the power of the void was devoured when it encountered the divine light. However, the right envoy of the void was more powerful than the left envoy, and the power of the void on the trident was inexhaustible. For a time, it was difficult to determine the winner.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingyu had already arrived at Haoran Academy, a sacred site of Confucianism and Taoism in the Southern Continent.

Incense smoke filled the academy, where countless cultivators were diligently practicing. Sage Meng stood atop the highest altar in the academy, his white hair flowing and his gaze profound.

Upon seeing Ye Qingyu's return, a trace of sorrow flashed in Meng Shengren's eyes: "Yan Hui..."

Ye Qingyu knelt on one knee, presenting Yan Hui's last wish and the golden jade slip: "Sage Meng, Yan Hui tragically sacrificed himself to protect me in obtaining the Heaven-Mending Stone. This is the jade slip he gave me, containing a technique to restrain the origin of the void." Sage Meng took the jade slip, his divine sense sinking into it. After a moment, he sighed: "Yan Hui truly deserves to be called the pinnacle of Confucianism and Taoism. This technique is called the 'Righteous Qi Returning to Origin Technique.' It requires the Heaven-Mending Stone as a guide to gather the righteous qi of the three realms in order to completely purify the origin of the void. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to gather the power of the five realms—Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, demons, and humans—to jointly activate the technique."

Ye Qingyu stood up, his eyes filled with determination: "I am willing to go to the holy lands of all sides and persuade all races to join forces."

Sage Meng nodded: "Now that Kong Xuan and others on the shore of the East Sea have found the Zhenxu Vine, with the Heaven-Mending Stone and the Zhenxu Vine, plus the 'True Qi Returning to Origin Technique', we are seventy percent confident of defeating the Void Emperor. But the Void Emperor has probably already noticed our actions, and his main force may attack the Three Realms at any time."

The voice just fell,

A deafening roar suddenly erupted outside the academy. Ye Qingyu rushed out of the academy and saw a huge black vortex appear in the sky. Countless void warships sailed out of the vortex, and on the warships, void soldiers held black weapons, exuding murderous intent.

The voice of the Void Emperor resounded throughout heaven and earth: "Sage Meng, Ye Qingyu, hand over the Heaven-Mending Stone and the Void-Suppressing Vine, and I may spare the lives of the cultivators of the Three Realms; otherwise, today will be the day the Three Realms are destroyed!"

Ye Qingyu gripped the Azure Edge Sword tightly, and the Heaven-Mending Stone in his arms shone brightly. Sage Meng walked to his side, followed by countless Confucian and Taoist cultivators: "Void Emperor, you dare to attempt to devour the origins of the Three Realms and dominate the world! How can we tolerate you?"

In the distance, streaks of light appeared on the horizon, representing the Buddha of Buddhism, Lao Tzu of Taoism, Donghuang Taiyi of the demon race, and various leaders of human cultivators.

Kong Xuan and the others also arrived with the Zhenxu Vine, and the five-colored divine light drew a magnificent arc in the sky.

Cultivators from the three realms gathered together, their righteous spirit, Buddhist radiance, Taoist mysticism, and the original power of the demon race intertwining to form an indestructible barrier, confronting the void army.

Ye Qingyu stood at the forefront of the barrier, holding the Qingfeng Sword. The Heaven-Mending Stone in his arms and the Zhenxu Vine in his hand resonated with each other, radiating a powerful force.

He gazed at the black vortex in the sky, silently reciting Yan Hui's name, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Void Emperor, today is your end!"

A black vortex continued to expand above the Southern Continent, with void warships blotting out the sky. The black cannons on the sides of the ships were filled with the power of the void, their muzzles aimed at the Haoran Academy below, exuding an aura of world destruction.

The Void Emperor's figure hovered in the center of the vortex. He was clad in a black robe shrouded in stars, his face shrouded in a layer of black mist, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes. His gaze swept over the cultivators of the Three Realms with an indifferent disdain for the world.

"Stubborn and obstinate".

The Void Emperor's voice, like ten thousand years of ice, pierced the heart.
"Since you are unwilling to hand over the Zhenxu Vine and the Mending Stone, then let the Three Realms turn into scorched earth and become nourishment for my Void Clan!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and countless void warships opened fire at the same time. Black energy shells poured down like a torrential rain, with sharp whistles that tore through space, crashing towards the barrier of the cultivators of the Three Realms.

The sage Meng formed a mudra with his hands and chanted the Confucian and Taoist mantra: "Righteous spirit protects all living beings!"

In an instant, countless golden light spots surged from the bodies of the Confucian and Taoist cultivators, converging into a huge golden barrier. The five ancient seal characters "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" appeared on the barrier, exuding a powerful aura of righteousness.

The black cannonballs crashed into the barrier with a deafening roar, causing the golden barrier to tremble violently, yet it remained standing.

"Buddha-nature is boundless, purifying all evil!"

The Buddha clasped his hands together, and a radiant light appeared behind him. Wherever the light passed, the power of the void melted away like ice and snow.

The Taoist master Laozi summoned the Taiji diagram, and the black and white energies circulated, forming a huge Taiji vortex that swept in some of the black cannonballs and instantly shredded them.
