Chapter 773: The Demon Cultivator's Raid Outside the Trial Field
Inside the Void Realm Trial Field, Yun Yao's fingertips brushed the mottled cover of the "Defying Heaven's Fate Codex," and the blood-red seal emitted an eerie humming sound the moment she touched it. Chu Mochen stood warily behind her, his Candle Dragon blood churning restlessly within him. His golden vertical pupils reflected the ancient tomes floating around him, their shimmering pages seemingly poised to transform into sharp blades at any moment.
Suddenly, the entire library trembled violently, and the ground cracked into spiderweb-like cracks, and inky black demonic energy gushed out through the cracks. Yun Yao's pupils shrank sharply, and the Fate-Defying Disk spun rapidly across her chest, emitting a dazzling golden light, attempting to resist the encroaching demonic energy. "Not good!" she whispered in shock. "It's the Chaos Demon Sect's aura. How did they find this place?"
Before he could finish his words, a scarlet figure burst through the wall, the God-Slaying Halberd in hand slashing a long, bloody streak through the air. It was none other than the Chaos Demon Sect's "Bloodhand Shura." His black robe was embroidered with twisted demonic totems, and with every step he took, a smoky footprint was left on the ground. "Defying the Fate Disk, today is your day!" Shura's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, filled with greed and brutality.
Chu Mochen instinctively stepped in front of Yun Yao, his Candle Dragon bloodline erupting completely. Twelve pairs of battle wings unfurled behind him, blazing with infernal flames. However, when he swung his halberd to meet the attack, he was horrified to find his attack was like a drop in the ocean. The strange power emanating from the God-Slaying Halberd devoured all of his Candle Dragon power, only to intensify Shura's attacks. Each halberd's impact tore a wound in his soul, the excruciating pain nearly unsteadying him.
Yun Yao saw this, her heart aching with anxiety. She knew that while Chu Mochen's Candle Dragon bloodline was powerful, it was effectively neutralized by Shura's God-Slaying Halberd. Without further ado, she resolutely transformed the Heaven-Defying Fate Plate into a golden shield, blocking Chu Mochen. The God-Slaying Halberd slammed heavily into the shield, the powerful impact severing her meridians and sending blood gushing from the corners of her mouth.
At this crucial moment, the "Defying Heaven's Fate Codex" suddenly flew from Yun Yao's arms, hovering above her head, emitting a dazzling light. The power contained within the codex flowed through her meridians like a pure spring, healing the broken meridians at a speed visible to the naked eye. Behind her, the shadowy figure of the "Saintess of Heaven" slowly emerged. In her hand, she grasped a longsword condensed from the power of cause and effect, emanating a sacred and majestic aura.
"Judgment by the Law of Karma!" Yun Yao gritted her teeth and growled. The shadowy figure of the Heavenly Saint swung her sword, and a beam of light, imbued with the karma of seventeen generations, shot forth. Shura's God-Slaying Halberd crumbled beneath the light. He was horrified to discover that the demonic energy within him was being purified into the purest spiritual energy, and his body gradually became transparent, as if it were about to dissipate in the light.
However, just when Yun Yao thought victory was assured, Shura suddenly burst into a wild laugh. "You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" His body suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive black mist. Countless tentacles extended from the mist, wrapping around Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Wherever the tentacles passed, space distorted, and even the light of the Heavenly Saint's shadow was dimmed.
Yun Yao's heart sank, knowing this was Shura's final, dying struggle. At that moment, she suddenly remembered the time-space spiritual herb she had brought back from the Divine Medicine Garden. She quickly extracted the herb and, using the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk as a guide, refined it into a "Cause-Retracing Pill" that emanated a strange light. She tossed the pill, and it exploded in mid-air, transforming into a torrent of time that enveloped the entire library.
Amidst the torrent of time, Shura's attack trajectory was forcibly altered, his tentacles entwining and binding him. His memories, too, were altered by the torrent. The hatred and obsession implanted by the Chaos Demon Sect were gradually replaced by fond memories of his mortal past. When the torrent dissipated, the violence and madness in Shura's eyes vanished, replaced by confusion and bewilderment.
"Passing the Void Realm Trial: Transforming Negative Consequences with Good Causes." The system's notification chimed in, officially advancing Yun Yao to the early stages of the Void Realm. She looked at Shura, who had regained his composure, and whispered, "Let go of your hatred and seek your new life." Shura paused for a moment before vanishing in a streak of light.
However, before Yun Yao and Chu Mochen could breathe a sigh of relief, the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. Liu Yan'er's presence reappeared on the disk, several times more powerful than before. "Oh no! Liu Yan'er's Demonic Mist has merged with the Chaos Demon Sect's leader!" Yun Yao's face was grim. "They won't give up. We must be prepared."
Chu Mochen held Yun Yao's hand, a determined light flashing in his eyes: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Although his Zhulong bloodline had been greatly consumed in the previous battle, it was still circulating slowly in his body at this moment, ready to meet new challenges at any time.
Yun Yao nodded. She knew this was only the Chaos Demon Sect's first step, and greater dangers lay ahead. But she was no longer afraid, for she was no longer the newly arrived traveler, and Chu Mochen would always be her strongest support. The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding and trust. They walked out of the library hand in hand, bracing themselves for the coming storm.
