From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 480 The Storm Subsides
Under the intense heat, the Starfire Chessboard continued to crack, and countless chess pieces fell from the void like meteors.

Lin Yunxiao's expression kept changing, sometimes dark and sometimes solemn. If we're talking about killing moves, he naturally has one, named [Starfire Creation and Extinction].

The ability to return the entire universe and spacetime to a state of utter stillness in an instant is a state of absolute chaos and primordial chaos.

However, this move will also cause him severe backlash.

For him, this was just a fight, and he naturally didn't want to put himself in a seriously injured state for the sake of a fight.

Lin Yunxiao couldn't understand why Chen Xiujie would risk his life so much, burning his own life force and essence to obtain this invincible move.

Are you not planning to live like this from now on?

Upon witnessing the devastating power of the opponent's attack, Lin Yunxiao finally made up his mind and hurled a chess piece.

He conceded defeat by throwing the pieces.

It's just a temporary victory or defeat. Life is long, and only by living on can one be qualified to pursue the final victory.

This is a principle that Lin Yunxiao has always believed in.

But at this moment, Chen Xiujie's move carried a resolute determination that showed no turning back.

The enormous furnace outside his body vibrated incessantly, spewing flames, like a living sun.

Blood surged through his body like magma, his bones cracked with a low, popping sound in the fire, and even the air turned white from the heat.

The colors of heaven and earth were swallowed up by that ball of fire.

The intense and domineering heat caused the air to boil, the clouds to ignite, and a narrow streak of light torn through the void.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Yunxiao suddenly realized a problem that made him extremely embarrassed.

This thing's attacks can only be launched, not retracted.

Once he finishes the game, the opponent's flames will instantly spread in all directions. With the strength of a peak [Dharma Aspect] being, this full-force attack is enough to destroy the entire Yuanling County.

"This reckless man!"

"You've really ruined my life!"

Although he did not directly cause the deaths of these people, he could not bear the consequences of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, even if he did so indirectly.

Especially since he is about to reach the crucial moment of his tribulation, once his mind is clouded, he may be stuck in this quagmire for the rest of his life.

"Depend on!"

Lin Yunxiao, who always presented himself as having a good temper, couldn't help but curse at this moment.

He just had an itch to fight someone, and now he's going to ruin his cultivation path? That's such a loss!
Qi Tianjie quickly realized that something was wrong. He moved like lightning, his hands clasped together, his ten fingers reversed, and in an instant, light and shadow intertwined.

This is his way of illusion.

The illusion is so convincing that it is indistinguishable from the real thing; each layer of illusion is an imitation and superposition of the real world.

In the void, one after another mirror-like illusions rose up, the folded world as if it had been "woven" out by him.

However, he acted hastily, and Chen Xiujie's momentum was already established. The flames burned not only his source but also his unyielding belief.

The intense firelight illuminated all directions, including the faces of Qi Tianjie and Lin Yunxiao.
Despair will be burned to ashes, and life will be brought forth in the light.

"boom."

"It's over."

Lin Yunxiao felt a tremor in his heart, and all he could see was crimson.

He now regrets it somewhat. If he had known that he could have stopped it by directly using [Starfire Creation and Destruction], even if he had been injured, he wouldn't have ruined his path.

Now, it's really too late for anything.

But in that final moment, a figure slowly appeared.

There was no oppressive aura, no divine light. It just appeared like that.

Then an invisible force enveloped the entire Dharma realm, gentle and continuous.

But the raging flames, along with the anger, murderous intent, despair, and obsession within them, were all swallowed up by that extremely calm power.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth naturally circulates, transforming into countless ripples, each circle converging and compressing the flames inward.

Finally, Chen Xiujie's violent temper transformed into a fireball the size of a mung bean, which hovered in front of him.

You Ming gently stretched out his hand, and the fire danced lightly in his palm, but no longer had any of its fierceness.

docile like a child.

The wind began to blow again, and the clouds gathered once more.

Everything has returned to calm.

"You madman! You madman, do you know what a stupid thing you've done?"

"You nearly killed hundreds of thousands of people!"

Lin Yunxiao finally snapped out of his shock. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Chen Xiujie by the collar, and shoved him forward forcefully.

Chen Xiujie was exhausted and completely drained, so he was no match for Lin Yunxiao.

But he was smiling, with a bright, childlike smile on his face.

"Hahaha, I did it!"

"From now on, this move will be called [Nirvana]!"

But Chen Xiujie was very happy. He had been tormented by the Seven Killings power and was on the verge of death. He had not even given up hope of living. But at the last moment, You Ming removed the Seven Killings power from him and made it slowly recover.

Therefore, when he was at a disadvantage, he forcibly ignited all his pain and fear, turning them into a life-giving fire that broke through all despair.

That power, which symbolizes the ultimate desire for life, possesses a terrifying strength.

"Chen Xiujie".

"The section of the Feng River in Yuanling County, as well as several nearby waterways, need to be dredged. I'm entrusting this task to you."

"You are ordered to complete this within three months. You are not allowed to use any magical powers or supernatural abilities, and you may only rely on your own physical strength. If there is any delay, there will be further punishment."

You Ming looked at Chen Xiujie, then flicked his finger, and an invisible force instantly fell like a spider web, covering Chen Xiujie's dantian and sealing all his magical power.

"no problem."

Chen Xiujie's face lit up with a bright smile, completely unconcerned about the punishment.

In his view, this Yuanling Dharma Realm was bound by You Ming's power, so it was impossible for his attack to break through it. In his heart, he had a strong trust and admiration for You Ming.

In You Ming's eyes, Chen Xiujie's temperament was, to put it nicely, innocent and pure, but to put it bluntly, he was unable to control himself.

Like a child who stomps on insects one by one, or scalds ants and frogs with boiling water, there is a kind of innocent cruelty.

"Xiu Jie's recklessness has startled you two."

You Ming slowly revealed himself and nodded to the two of them.

Before this, the two of them had been thinking of challenging You Ming, but now they just wanted to get as far away from this wretched place as possible.

The sight of Chen Xiujie, who was like a mad dog, and You Ming, who owned a mad dog, left them with lingering fear.

"No...it's okay."

Lin Yunxiao waved his hand. His magical power had not yet recovered, and his spiritual form had been torn apart, leaving him somewhat listless.
