Fairy, help me cultivate.

Yun Jiang closed her eyes to sense the distance and pointed ahead: "It's not far."

The two rode their swords, piercing through the tsunami waves, and arrived at a giant whirlpool.

The vortex roared like thunder, and several thick black tornadoes rose from within, piercing the sky and inspiring fear in those who beheld them.

Chen Yao released his divine sense and felt that the vortex was watching them as if it were a living thing.

"Is Rahu hiding inside?"

Looking at the vortex, Chen Yao felt that even now, he wasn't confident he could break through it and go deeper inside.

Yun Jiang shook her head, avoiding the swirling tornado, her red skirt fluttering as she flew straight to the top of the vortex.

"Rahu, I have come to see you."

Her voice carried far, drowning out the roar of the vortex.

The tornado above the whirlpool suddenly stopped, then spread out horizontally and crashed into the sea, creating several smaller whirlpools.

The sea suddenly trembled.

An unknown, muffled rumble echoed from the depths of the sea.

Chen Yao looked down and saw that the sea was covered with dense bubbles, as if it were boiling.

Two of the largest bubbles suddenly shot up and burst under the pouring rain, revealing two figures.

One was exactly the same as Chen Yao's, and the other was exactly the same as Yun Jiang's.

Yun Jiang flashed to Chen Yao's side: "Turning the illusory into the real is one of Rahu's innate divine abilities."

Chen Yao summoned the Immortal Sword.

The fake Chen Yao on the other side made the same move.

"Hold my hand, and let's not let go, or we won't be able to tell each other apart," Yun Jiang solemnly instructed.

Chen Yao took Yun Jiang's hand and rode up on his sword.

He didn't believe that Rahu could transform into the same Infinite Sword.

The immortal sword flew into the rain curtain in the sky, as if a chorus of ten thousand birds had risen.

Countless immortal swords split off and quickly merged into two rivers of sword streams, shredding the raindrops into powder.

The rain curtain turned into fog.

Yun Jiang looked up at the magnificent Sword River and smiled: "I never imagined you would grow to this extent."

Chen Yaojian pointed at the two imposters opposite him.

The Sword River surged forth, suppressing the sweeping tsunami, and crashed down upon its opponent.

The two imposters were swallowed up by the Sword River before they could even utter a sound.

The sword river did not stop, but plunged straight into the vortex.

The vortex was shattered, revealing raging torrents.

Yun Jiang stared intently at the turbulent currents, her fingers forming a hand seal, and a day's worth of blood-red runes descended from the sky, poised to unleash their power.

With a resounding clang, it was like a thunderclap that struck the heavens.

Chen Yao's whole body trembled, and the Sword River, flickering with sparks, surged back.

He waved his hand, sheathed the immortal sword, his hand trembling slightly as he held it.

Upon closer inspection, a rough, bright red pillar had emerged upside down from the seawater where Jianhe had just plunged.

"The root of heaven and earth".

Yun Jiang said solemnly.

When everyone attacked this giant pillar last time, the wind and rain were dark and the world was in chaos. Only now does Chen Yao have the opportunity to see this so-called Root of Heaven and Earth up close.

The giant pillar, like a chisel driven into the sea, is the color of congealed blood, with a rough surface, giving it a sense of frenzied bloodlust.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in a light purple dress sat atop the chisel, her face as lovely as a flower, her eyes tightly closed.

Beautiful woman Rahu.

"Rahu, wake up!"

Yun Jiang's authoritative voice carried over.

Luo Hou's eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils emitted a bright orange-yellow light, as if they contained two tiny suns.

"Your Majesty, there can be no new without destruction. Why are you so obsessed?"

Her deep, feminine voice came softly, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Yun Jiang looked at Luo Hou arrogantly: "Insolence!"

"Your Majesty, the heavens and the earth are in turmoil, order has vanished, and there is no such thing as being presumptuous or not."

Yun Jiang sneered: "I will first remove the Root of Heaven and Earth from your body!"

A flash of red, and she rushed towards Rahu.

Rahu remained unmoved, and the giant pillar beneath him lit up.

Yun Jiang flew just as she reached Luo Hou, but her figure faltered, unable to advance even an inch.

Chen Yao immediately swung his sword and slashed across the area, the sword energy sweeping across.

The sky and earth seemed to brighten a little more.

The two were simultaneously thrown backwards for over a hundred miles before their momentum came to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, a massive wave crashed down on us.

Yun Jiang opened her arms and pushed against it.

The giant wave turned to dust, becoming a salty, white mist.

She took Chen Yao's hand and flew back to Luo Hou, making a hand seal and pressing down.

A day later, crimson runes pressed down.

The entire sea surface rumbled and sank dozens of feet deep.

The giant pillar trembled.

Luo Hou, whose expression had been calm, frowned and stretched out a hand.

Amidst the surging waves of the sea, dozens of towering arms converged, pressing down on the runes.

But the runes flowed rapidly and were still unstoppable. The dozen or so giant arms shattered and turned into waterfalls that crashed back into the sea.

Rahu stretched out his other hand.

Dozens more giant sea arms emerged from the sea, but they still couldn't stop the downward-pressing runes.

"Luo Hou, hold fast to your will and resist the erosion," Yun Jiang said coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with concern as she stared at Luo Hou.

A moment of confusion flashed across Luo Hou's face.

But it was quickly enveloped by the light emanating from the giant red pillar beneath her, and the giant arm on the sea surface turned crimson, finally managing to withstand the runes.

Yun Jiang's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 318 The Final Battle

"Are you okay?"

Chen Yao helped Yun Jiang up.

Yun Jiang shook her head: "But if this stalemate continues, I'm afraid the demonic energy within me will actually nourish this thing."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yao simply took out the Qiankun Bottomless Plate and the Emerald Green Gourd.

Yun Jiang asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Call someone."

"No, we must preserve the flame! Wait a little longer. If I really can't go on, you take the Qiankun Wudi Pan into the gourd. Use your supernatural powers to lead everyone to create another world."

Chen Yao looked at Yun Jiang's determined expression: "So that's what you were planning!"

Yun Jiang hugged Chen Yao's waist and kissed him: "I'm so glad I didn't lay a hand on you. I'm also so glad that I was able to spend those wonderful days with you in my final moments. Chen Yao, you are the hope of the world. For my sake, you must live on."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao pulled Yun Jiang behind him and said, "Don't give me that useless nonsense!"

"How can this be nonsense!" Yun Jiang said anxiously.

Ignoring her, Chen Yao summoned the Universe Without Territory and the Emerald Gourd, declaring, "I've never been some great man with a heart for the common people, nor do I aspire to be that kind of person. My heart is small, only big enough to hold my own woman. If I can't protect my woman, then I won't care about the world! Dying together is cleaner!"

He pointed his sword at the floating Qiankun Wudi Pan and the emerald gourd, and slowly untied them.

Yun Jiang tried to stop him, but couldn't break free from his grip: "Chen Yao! You bastard!"

I don't think so!

“You…” Yun Jiang’s expression was complicated, a mixture of emotion, sadness, and love, as she watched as half of the cultivation world emerged from the two magical artifacts.

"What's going on?" Hui Bai, Xu Junyu, and the others rushed to Chen Yao's side.

Chen Yao briefly explained the situation: "Everyone, this concerns the survival of the world. You have all witnessed the immense power of the demonic pillar before you. Whether you fight yourselves and perish together, or join forces to fight for a brighter future, the decision is yours!"

These people had experienced the power of the demonic pillar before even entering the magical artifact, so they naturally knew what choice to make.

So everyone, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, launched an attack on the giant pillar.

Although these people's cultivation levels varied, their sheer numbers immediately relieved much of the pressure on Yun Jiang.

Chen Yao was finally able to unleash his sword freely.

The Sword River returned, rushing straight towards the top of Rahu's head.

Blood seeped from Rahu's eyes, but he still slightly raised his hand to block the surging river of swords.

Strands of blood energy rose upwards, slowly permeating every immortal sword in Chen Yao's Sword River.

Chen Yao felt the immortal sword gradually slipping out of his control, so he freed his hands and summoned every magical treasure he possessed.
