Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The eerie, cold feeling gradually disappeared, slowly becoming clear, and then, light.

An unprecedented light, a light that they had once loathed and feared, now flowed into their parched soul veins like a spring, bringing life and power.

Their soul power even becomes purer and more refined in the process.

However, at this moment, most people are not focused on them, but on another place where something unexpected seems to have happened.

Tang Ya.

When the lines representing the origin of evil were severed by the golden lightsaber, the dark blue silver grass on Tang Ya's body faded from its inky color at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to the light blue of ordinary blue silver grass, and even faint golden patterns appeared on the edges.

However, as the evil energy belonging to the Dark Blue Silver Grass was forcibly purified and stripped away more deeply by the golden light, Tang Ya's aura did not show a steady and firm increase like Yan Feng and Wang Xiaolei's; instead, it rapidly declined.

Even her life force began to slip away uncontrollably.

Tang Ya was already well-liked in the sect, and at this moment when everyone was watching, even the slightest change in her was particularly tugging at everyone's heartstrings. Nan Qiuqiu and Ye Guyi, who were standing at the front, suddenly became nervous.

Kong Tianxu's expression remained unchanged, but he quietly increased the output of the Life Gold, and the vast life force surged into Tang Ya's body, barely maintaining that delicate balance on the verge of collapse.

He had anticipated this situation. Tang Ya was different from the other five. The evil energy had poisoned her body to a greater extent than he had initially expected. It was as if the evil energy had become deeply entangled with her life essence, sharing a symbiotic relationship.

Purifying the evil energy is equivalent to purifying the very essence of her life. When the evil energy completely disappears, Tang Ya's life force will also come to an end.

Even though Kong Tianxu possessed the treasure of the Life Gold, he could not reverse this symbiotic demise at the fundamental level.

But what moved Kong Tianxu was that Tang Ya herself was clearly aware of this.

She clearly felt her life force rapidly draining away, felt the approach of death, yet her face showed no fear, no resistance, but rather a serene relief. She even actively guided that sacred power, not only purifying the evil energy, but also seemingly welcoming the end that would purify her life force along with it.

It seems that even in death, she would rather die than return to that state of a pure evil spirit master.

However, since Kong Tianxu chose her as one of the main characters to perform this great show, how could he not be confident?

During the purification process of the transformation between the holy and the evil, Tang Ya's life force will inevitably be worn down, but the evil aura that has lost its source will be consumed even faster and more fiercely.

As long as the spontaneous power of the martial soul's origin is unleashed, it is possible to truly turn the tables and reverse the trend of decline.

But this needs a trigger.

Kong Tianxu gazed into Tang Ya's eyes, which were gradually losing their luster, and slowly spoke in a strange voice that only the two of them could clearly hear:

"You asked me before if I remembered you, and now I'm answering you."

“I not only remember you, I know exactly who you are.”

"You are Tang Ya, the one who ran off to Tianling City."

Upon hearing those words, a faint blush miraculously appeared on Tang Ya's pale face. She forced a slight movement of her lips toward Kong Tianxu, and as she listened to his slightly teasing tone, she seemed to temporarily forget the approaching death and the appropriate distance between them.

Seeing that she seemed to be getting better, Nan Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but Kong Tianxu knew that this was just the last flicker before the flame of her life went out.

Her eyes, which appeared exceptionally clear under the pale golden light, began to close heavily. Tang Ya felt her consciousness sinking into an unfathomable abyss.

In her ever-descending sea of ​​consciousness, hundreds of invisible threads began to extend, reaching into the deepest, most hidden corners of her heart.

Finally, Kong Tianxu reached the bottom.

Deep in my memory, there is a fire, and two blurry middle-aged figures, a man and a woman, slumped in a pool of blood, seemingly muttering something.

The next moment, Kong Tianxu's voice rang in her ears as if carved by a knife and axe:

"Tang Ya, the leader of the Tang Clan."

Tang Ya's unfocused gaze jolted, and she began to refocus with difficulty. A glimmer of light slowly condensed in her eyes.

"You know... me...?"

In what she believed to be the final moments of her life, the identity she cherished most, and which carried the heaviest burden, was so clearly awakened, bringing her immense comfort and an indescribable sense of emotion.

Kong Tianxu remained unmoved:

"If you can survive—"

"I will tell you how to make the Tang Clan rise again, and how the Tang Clan has fallen to such a state..."

"The real reason."

Like a thunderclap!

Like the sharpest hook, it pierced and seized the soul on the verge of sinking. Tang Ya's eyes, which had been almost lifeless, were suddenly ignited by an unparalleled obsession, radiating an unimaginable brilliance.

Tang Sect! This was the core of her lingering regret, the source of her sleepless nights and agonizing pain, the very thing that sustained her as she rose from despair only to plunge back into darkness!

If I survive... I'll be able to find out how the Tang Clan rose to power, and also... the real reason for its decline?

"Guanyin's Tears".

With his last bargaining chip, Kong Tianxu completely broke through Tang Ya's defenses.

A low growl, a mixture of extreme pain and struggle, burst forth from deep within Tang Ya's throat. Her previously limp body suddenly tensed like a bow, and the Blue Silver Grass martial soul within her seemed to sense the host's extremely strong will to survive, erupting with an astonishing response!

Although Blue Silver Grass is one of the weakest of the soul beasts, its tenacity and resilience are unparalleled among all plants.

At this moment, driven by Tang Ya's fully aroused will to survive, the primal power deep within her martial soul, containing a trace of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, erupted completely. The life flame that was about to be extinguished seemed to be fueled by the most intense fuel, bursting into flames!

The lush green grass grew wildly, wrapping around and enveloping Tang Ya, its pale golden veins becoming increasingly clear, as if the veins of life were being illuminated.

A faint yet exceptionally tenacious life force struggled to emerge from the life essence that had been almost assimilated by the power of purification, desperately resisting the momentum of life force loss.

But that wasn't enough. This outburst actually consumed Tang Ya's already limited life essence.

Kong Tianxu's eyes narrowed, and a point of bluish-gold light appeared at his fingertips.

Long Xiaoyao, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly contracted his pupils.

This is……?!

Everything before Tang Ya's eyes seemed to have vanished, leaving only a desolate wasteland. Yet, within this wasteland, a faint indigo halo appeared.

That was a seed.

Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life. The new shoots that sprout from the dead find refuge with the deity that gave them new life.

Time, frozen in a sense of solemnity where the sacred, the evil, and life and death intertwine, flows slowly and steadily.

finally--

The dazzling holy light that enveloped the six people slowly receded like a tide. The phantom of the Holy Spirit Puppet returned to its balanced state of black and white, quietly retracted its wings, and hovered silently behind Kong Tianxu.

The figures of the six people reappeared clearly in the shocked gaze of the crowd.

The dark soul fire in the eye sockets of the bone dragon behind Yan Feng had now turned into a bright gold, filled with a pure aura of light. The bone dragon raised its ferocious head and let out a silent yet soul-shaking roar. Golden light streamed down its cheekbones like tears, a mixture of holiness and eeriness.

The snake scales covering the three Zhongli brothers were no longer just a deathly gray; clear golden patterns appeared at the edges. Even their faces seemed to have become ten years younger, their sinister aura gone, replaced by a healthy rosy glow.

The most astonishing change was in Wang Xiaolei.

He was no longer that terrifying, pale skeleton. Under the combined effects of Kong Tianxu's final infusion of pure life force and divine purification, he truly achieved the shocking effect of flesh and bone healing, with flesh and skin regenerating.

Although still thin, he now looked like a normal young man with a pale face, his eyes filled with unbelievable excitement and tears.

The lich phantom behind him still retained some undead characteristics, but the swirling black mist had transformed into pale golden holy flames, its aura bright and clear.

Even their soul power fluctuations were not weakened by the purification; on the contrary, they were subtly improved.

The group exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes they saw unbelievable ecstasy and excitement. Unable to contain their emotions any longer, they all looked up to the sky and roared in unison.

There was no trace of evil, only surging light and passion!

In the center of them, Tang Ya was gently lifted by countless blue silver grass vines covered with pale gold sacred patterns, and slowly opened her eyes.

The dark aura around her had vanished without a trace, replaced by a peaceful yet resilient fluctuation of light.

The soul power emanating from these six people at this moment was unmistakably pure—

Light attribute!

"Purified, it really is purified..."

"The Evil Martial Soul has transformed into a Light Martial Soul?!"

"How is this possible... This is a miracle! A true miracle!"

Yes, it's a miracle, a feat that overturns all common sense in the world of Soul Masters! No one has ever heard of an evil Martial Soul being able to have its attributes completely reversed and purified!

After a brief silence, a deafening roar of exclamations and discussions erupted! All the evil spirit masters, especially the newly awakened ones who had not yet begun to fall, had an almost frenzied fervor and desire bursting from their eyes.

Kong Tianxu did not stop.

He closed his eyes slightly, because of this purification, he could clearly feel the six souls of complete conversion and gratitude connected with him, and six tiny golden lights appeared out of thin air within his body.

That was pure and devout mental power.

So this is the power of faith.

Instead of absorbing this power of faith to strengthen the two divine positions within him or himself, he casually pointed a finger in the air.

Six golden rays, like fireflies with sentience, flew lightly toward the six people who had just completed their purification and disappeared into their brows.

"Welcome to your new life, and with my blessing."

All six people shuddered simultaneously.

Immediately, the ecstasy on their faces turned into utter shock.

As they were experiencing their newfound power of light, they instantly felt a boundless power that transcended the light, like a seed planted deep within their martial spirit essence.

In Yan Feng's hands, he held up a cluster of bone dragon fire with a pale golden, holy halo around its edges. His voice was completely distorted with excitement:

"This...this is...?!"

The moment the flame appeared, even someone with Feng Ling's cultivation level involuntarily took a half-step back. All the other evil soul masters also instinctively revealed a complex expression of fear and longing, subconsciously moving away from the golden light.

"Divine attribute..."

Ye Guyi's delicate body trembled violently, and she took a step back, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at the holy aura emanating from the six people.

Although faint, like water without a source, the essence of that aura was indeed no different from her proud Holy Angel Martial Soul!

Yes, this is the Divine attribute, one of the strongest attributes that transcends light!

It is naturally able to suppress all evil spirits, has absolute power to suppress attributes such as darkness, evil, and the undead, and has almost no natural enemies.

This is also the foundation upon which her Sacred Angel Martial Soul was able to surpass ordinary ultimate Martial Souls and become one of the most top Martial Souls in the world.

Even if the divine power within those six people was weak and unable to regenerate itself, it was still genuine divine attribute!

This means that at crucial moments, they can briefly unleash powerful combat strength comparable to that of a Divine Martial Soul Master, instantly boosting their overall strength by one level.
