Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The brand's light suddenly intensified! It was no longer a flickering candlelight, but a small, rising, emerald-gold sun!

This light instantly illuminated Yu Changsheng's chaotic and violent sea of ​​consciousness!
The nascent Chaos Dao Embryo, which was originally greedily devouring and constantly clashing, seemed to be paused under the illumination of this power that originated from the same source yet was incomparably pure and gentle!
The purifying power originating from the Pure Lotus of Purity, like the gentlest stream, began to wash away the violent impurities, resentment, and the violence lured out by the fragments of the mother nest in the embryonic form of the Dao.

At the same time, fragments of the profound meaning of "Return to the Void: The Pivot of Origin," contained within Chen Xueqing's imprint, naturally flowed out. Channeling! Guiding! Opening a channel for the raging torrent of annihilation!
Yu Changsheng's shattered consciousness suddenly caught a glimmer of light under the combined attack of this "redemption" force from both inside and outside!
That was the true meaning of "flood releaser" that he briefly touched when he forcibly triggered various forces to bombard the giant monument in the Origin Monument space by self-destruction—not forcibly controlling, but guiding the flow!

“Lead...the evil...back to...the ruins…”

A hoarse, broken voice, yet carrying a strange sense of enlightenment, churned in Yu Changsheng's throat, finally managing to utter a few words with difficulty.

This is not a mantra, but an instinctive response from the depths of the soul!
It is a response to the power conveyed by that protective mark!

Boom!

Within her dantian, the heavy, chaotic, and energy-devouring nascent form of the Chaos Dao Embryo underwent a dramatic structural change under the illumination of the emerald-gold light released by Chen Xueqing's imprint and guided by the profound meaning of "Guiding Evil Back to Ruins"!

At the core of the dark vortex, a point of emerald-gold light shone!
Immediately afterwards, streaks of emerald-gold sacred patterns, like the veins of life, began to spread across the surface of the nascent Dao embryo, which was originally filled with chaotic gray and the dark color of annihilation!
These patterns are not a cover, but a clever integration and channeling! The violent and disorderly devouring power is sorted out and made controllable; the chaotic and conflicting primal energy is guided and begins to flow along a certain mysterious trajectory.

The three forces—Yu Changsheng's own annihilation origin, the purifying vitality of the Pure World Green Lotus, and the void corrosion of the Devouring Void Nest—originally fought and corrupted each other like enemies within the Dao Embryo.

At this moment, guided by the emerald and gold patterns, they did not disappear or forcibly merge. Instead, they were forcibly separated by a higher-level "guiding" force, like building a diversion dam in a raging river!
The source of annihilation returned to annihilation and was absorbed and settled by the core of the Dao Embryo; the purification of life force protected the core and calmed the restlessness; the power of void corrosion was forcibly guided to the edge of the Dao Embryo, forming a "shell" that was full of destructive power but temporarily restrained!
An unprecedented, dynamic, and fragile balance was forcibly established on the brink of destruction!

"Uhh—!!"

Yu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes!
That was no longer the pained, confused, angry, or crazed look in his eyes, but a deep, abyss-like depth. In the depths of his eyes, chaotic gray, dark gold, and a wisp of emerald gold light intertwined and swirled, as if giving birth to a miniature universe where annihilation and rebirth coexisted!

An ancient, heavy pressure, mixed with the aura of destruction and creation, emanated uncontrollably from his broken body!
The first thing he saw was Mo Yu's face above him, contorted with pain and poison, yet filled with a resolute determination to protect. Blood was dripping from Mo Yu's chest, landing on his face, warm and sticky.

"Mo... Yu..." The hoarse voice, still dazed from just waking up, transformed into a chilling killing intent that could freeze the soul!
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the chaotic energy turbulence, and saw the seal cracks where the eerie green tentacles danced wildly, the mechanical giant warrior that had been severely injured and forced to retreat, Situ Xuan, whose face was ashen as he controlled the beam of confinement, Xuan Tian Venerable, whose face was solemn as he struggled to maintain the sword lock, and also Li Wujiu, whose face still showed shock and rage at having his plans ruined, on the skeleton flying boat not far away!
Finally, his gaze settled on the figure in mid-air, appearing and disappearing amidst the emerald-gold pillar of light, majestic like a goddess—Chen Xueqing!

Although it was only in spirit form, the familiar aura and the imprint that illuminated his soul instantly filled Yu Changsheng's broken heart with immense warmth and sorrow.

Xueqing...you did it!
"Roar--!!!"

The will of the Devouring Mother Nest deep within the seal seemed to sense an even greater threat: the power within Yu Changsheng's body that had just established a balance and fused with some of its fragments, and the inheritor in the sky that could draw upon its original power!
More eerie green tentacles frantically assaulted the seal, intensifying the tremors on the isolated island, and large swathes of land began to collapse into the dark green Dead Sea!

"Kid! It's good you're awake!"

A fierce light flashed in Li Wujiu's eyes. He saw the strange aura emanating from Yu Changsheng's awakening, and his greed once again overwhelmed his fear!
"Come with me obediently!"

Without further hesitation, taking advantage of the fact that Situ Xuan and Venerable Xuantian were both restrained by the sealing up of the great change, he once again aimed the Azure Gourd at Yu Changsheng, and an invisible suction force that was even more insidious than before and specifically targeted the origin of the soul fiercely descended!

At the same time, the remaining Poison Cloud Ghost Claw bypassed the area where the eerie green tentacles intertwined and grabbed at Yu Changsheng from the side!
Xuan Tian Zun Zhe's eyes were sharp as swords. He glanced at Yu Changsheng, then looked at Chen Xueqing at the core, his brows furrowed.

He sensed the change in the strange power emanating from Yu Changsheng and also saw the authority that Chen Xueqing was wielding.

Both of these individuals seem to harbor enormous unpredictable changes.

"Lord Situ! Deal with this monster first! Otherwise, the inheritance will be in vain!"

He shouted again, his sword techniques shifting, and more chains of sword intent coiled around the core crack.

Yu Changsheng opened his eyes amidst the desolate storm, his Chaotic Dao Embryo resonating and intertwining with Chen Xueqing's Pure World Green Lotus.

Mo Yu, on the verge of death, used himself as a shield to protect the three giants, who were eyeing him covetously. The ghostly green tentacles of the Devouring Sky Mother Nest, having broken free of their seal, tore through the sky!
"Draw the evil back to the void!" Yu Changsheng's low roar triggered the source of the Burial Star Sea, and the dark green Dead Sea transformed into a roaring dragon.

Situ Xuan's colossus was torn apart by the tentacles of the mother nest, Xuan Tian Venerable's sword qi river severed space, and Li Wujiu's poisonous miasma clung to his bones like a maggot.

In the eye of the storm, Yu Changsheng, cradling the mangled body of Mo Yu, faced the gaping, eerie green maw that seemed to tear the sky apart—

"Want some? Pay with your life!"

Yu Changsheng's low growl was not a roar, but it was like a thunderclap from the heavens exploding in the heart of the chaotic battlefield!
"Draw back the evil spirits—return to the void!"

The four words, hoarse and broken, carried a dignified majesty that seemed to reach the very rules of the universe, like an ancient judgment.

hum!
The nascent Chaos Dao Embryo within his body, which had just established a fragile balance, suddenly erupted with unprecedented light! It was no longer a simple destruction or life force, but rather a three-colored radiance of Chaos Gray, Dark Gold Emperor Blood, and Emerald Gold Purification, flowing like a boiling nebula within his shattered body!
The three-colored patterns under the cracked skin instantly came to life!

They are no longer chaotic tattoos, but have transformed into intricate energy circuits, flashing, extending, and connecting wildly!
An overwhelming and irresistible force of devouring and guiding burst forth from every pore of his body!
The target is Li Wujiu's insidious, invisible soul-drawing force and foul-smelling poisonous cloud!
Rumble—!
An unbelievable scene unfolded!

The eternally still, viscous, black-jade-like seawater of the Burial Star Sea was suddenly stirred violently as if by an invisible giant hand!
Centered on the floating black reef beneath Yu Changsheng's feet, the sea surface within a radius of a thousand feet suddenly collapsed downwards! A massive, suffocating dark green vortex instantly formed!

At the edge of the whirlpool are towering walls of seawater, hundreds of feet high!

The stagnant, dark green water, carrying the dust of decaying stars and fragments of metal debris, emitted a dull roar like that of an ancient behemoth awakening!
Li Wujiu, using the vicious suction force emanating from the Azure Gourd—enough to extract the very essence of a cultivator's primordial spirit—collided with the massive vortex formed by the deathly essence of the Burial Star Sea, only to be utterly thwarted! Not only did he fail to shake Yu Changsheng in the slightest, but the azure light emanating from the gourd's mouth was instead entangled and pulled back by the viscous deathly energy rising from the vortex!
Li Wujiu let out a muffled groan, and for the first time, horror appeared on his withered face. The Azure Gourd trembled violently, as if it were about to fly out of his hand!
At the same time, the miasma cloud containing hundreds of kinds of bone-corroding and soul-destroying poisons became the best bait for the vortex!

The foul-smelling poisonous cloud seemed to have met its nemesis, and was torn apart, swallowed up, and assimilated by the violently swirling dark green seawater!
Amidst the hissing sounds, the poisonous gas was rapidly decomposed and dissolved by the stagnant water containing the essence of annihilation, transforming into wisps of even more turbid and heavy gray-black malevolent energy that merged into the vortex, further amplifying its power!
"What...what kind of evil magic is this?!"

Situ Xuan cried out in shock inside the command cabin of the Sky Patrol, his eyes filled with horror replacing the greed he had previously shown.

He could clearly "see" on the energy scanning spiritual pivot diagram that the energy level erupting at the center of the vortex was rising exponentially, and the source was the young man with the broken body who had just awakened!
This is by no means a simple power of annihilation, but a kind of... rule and authority that can control, guide, and even transform the sea of ​​death!

This is beyond his understanding of power!
"Return to the Void... Dao Embryo..."

Xuan Tian Venerable's white hair flew wildly, his sharp, sword-like eyes fixed on Yu Changsheng at the center of the vortex. He sensed the ancient Daoist charm emanating from the embryonic form, which resonated faintly with the origin of the Burial Star Sea, as well as a trace of sharp energy that was held back but not released, which could subtly echo his own supreme sword intent.

He saw hope, but also a deeper, turbulent storm. "Hold the seal! This child... might be the turning point!"

"You little beast! How dare you destroy my magic treasure?!" Li Wujiu was shocked and furious. The Azure Gourd was his most precious treasure, which he had cultivated with his life, but now it was being eroded and devoured by that strange vortex power.

His withered fingers frantically made hand seals, and the remaining vengeful spirits on the Ten Thousand Poison Banner emitted a shrill and distorted shriek. The banner surface spewed out an even denser, ghastly green poisonous light, trying to stabilize the gourd, while at the same time rushing towards Yu Changsheng more fiercely, wanting to completely corrupt him into a poison puppet!

However, at this moment, Yu Changsheng seemed to have become part of the storm in the Burial Star Sea.

He knelt on one knee on the reef, with Mo Yu's heavy and burning body leaning against his arm.

Mo Yu's body was ice-cold, his life force like a flickering candle in a storm. Only an indomitable sword intent made a final, weak resistance deep within his consciousness against the corrosive power of the Myriad Poison Soul-Devouring Needles.

Yu Changsheng looked down at Mo Yu's ashen face, his once sharp, star-like eyes now tightly closed.

An indescribable sense of sorrow and despair exploded in his heart, like cold magma pouring into his limbs and bones.

"Senior Brother Moyu... hang in there!"

He uttered muffled syllables from his throat.

With her left hand tightly embracing Mo Yu, she suddenly raised her right hand, fingers spread wide, and grabbed fiercely towards the direction of Li Wujiu's skeleton flying boat!
"The Raging Tide of Return to Nothingness—rises!"

roar--!!!
The enormous vortex, which was activated by his Dao Embryo, devoured all the poisonous miasma, and assimilated the deathly origin of the Burial Star Sea, suddenly let out a soul-shaking roar!

At the center of the vortex, an enormous, viscous, dark green column of water, carrying countless fragments of decaying stars and metal skeletons, shot into the sky like a monstrous dragon breaking free from its restraints!

The water jet didn't shoot straight at us, but rather carried a destructive spiraling force, its target precise—Li Wujiu's skeleton flying boat!
Wherever the water jet passed, the space groaned under the strain, and the remaining poisonous cloud claws were instantly crushed and devoured!
The annihilating power contained in the dead seawater, mixed with the transformed poisonous energy, formed a terrifying torrent capable of eroding spiritual treasures and defiling the primordial spirit!
"The Myriad Poisons Profound Yin Wall!"

Li Wujiu screamed shrilly, making even the dead tremble.

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Ten Thousand Poison Banner!

The banner instantly expanded, and countless agonizing, wailing faces of vengeful spirits coalesced into a massive, ghastly green shield, several feet thick and flowing with viscous venom, which stood in front of the airship!

Boom! ...
The dark green Guixu Water Dragon crashed violently into the Wandu Xuanyin Wall!

No stalemate!

Only utter and devastating annihilation!
The viscous venom barrier, like snow hitting boiling water, hissed and eroded at a visible speed by the dark green dead water!
That formidable defense, forged from countless vengeful spirits, proved laughably fragile under the dual attack containing the essence of annihilation and the transforming poison!

The stalemate lasted less than half a breath!
Snap! Boom—!!!
The Myriad Poisons Profound Yin Wall shattered with a deafening roar! Countless vengeful spirits and phantoms screamed as they turned into wisps of smoke!

The remaining dark green tide surged forward with undiminished force, like the River Styx bursting its banks, crashing heavily against the bow of the skeletal flying boat!

Sizzle—!
The grating sound of metal corroding and rotten wood snapping is enough to make your teeth ache!

The prow of the flying boat, crafted from the bones of an unknown behemoth, rapidly turned black, softened, and disintegrated under the scorching water, which contained both annihilation and deadly poison. It was like rotten wood doused with aqua regia!
The pale green defensive shield flickered violently a few times, then went out completely with a pop, like a bubble!
"puff--!"

Li Wujiu felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. The magic treasure that connected his mind and body was destroyed, and the backlash from the breaking of the Myriad Poisons Profound Yin Wall caused him to spit out a mouthful of pitch-black poisonous blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. His aura instantly weakened, and he staggered backward, crashing into the cabin wall. His eyes were filled with disbelief, fear, and resentment.

"Uncle-Master!" Li Wujiu exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward to help him up.

The skeleton flying boat shook violently, its hull cracked in many places, and poisonous clouds dissipated. It was in a panic and wanted to retreat, no longer showing the ferocious and overwhelming power it had shown before.

"Roar--!!!"

Just as Yu Changsheng dealt Li Wujiu a severe blow, an even more violent and painful roar came from the core of the isolated island!

The voice acted directly on the soul level, carrying with it billions of years of resentment and the extreme greed of someone about to break free! (End of Chapter)
