Chapter 819: Illusion Collapse
In the illusory world of the Guixu Remnant, clouds and mist surged like a simmering cloud. The embrace of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen was swallowed by a pitch-black rift that suddenly ripped through space. The Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion descended, swirling with a shroud of chaotic energy. Twelve pairs of black wings unfurled behind him, each flap stirring a storm powerful enough to shatter the stars.
"Hidden in the illusory world of the fragments, barely surviving?" The Pavilion Master's voice seemed to echo from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds. His fingertips slashed across the barrier of the illusory world, and the entire space suddenly cracked. Yun Yao's pupils suddenly shrank. She clearly saw that on the chessboard of Heaven's Path floating behind the Pavilion Master, the chess pieces representing herself and Chu Mochen were entangled in blood-colored threads. The end of those threads connected to the direction of the God Realm.
Chu Mochen unsheathed his Cold Abyss Sword, its piercing blade colliding with the Pavilion Master's chaotic power, unleashing a dazzling burst of lightning in mid-air. Yun Yao could feel his hand trembling as he grasped the sword—not only because of the opponent's unfathomable strength, but also because the aura emanating from the Pavilion Master at that moment was identical to the "Guardian of Heaven" they had seen on the stone statue in the Taixu Ancient Temple.
"The passage to the Three Thousand God Realms is about to open!" The Pavilion Master laughed crazily, and his black wings of light suddenly tripled in size. "A world without the constraints of the Heavenly Dao will only fall into eternal chaos! And I will become the new Heavenly Dao!" Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a giant chaotic claw grabbed directly at the broken mark on Yun Yao's forehead.
Yun Yao instinctively activated her Chaos Dao Body, and the Jinghong Sword and Hanyuan Sword suddenly trembled violently, forming a shadowy image of a Yin-Yang fish between her and Chu Mochen. Just as the giant claws touched the Yin-Yang fish, the survivors of the fishing village suddenly broke through the illusionary restrictions. The old village chief led the others, condensing their spiritual energy into beams of light and infusing them into the twin swords.
"Fairy lady!" The old village chief's voice was filled with determination. "You saved us with the Tears of Life back then. Even if my soul were to scatter today, I will repay you for this kindness!"
The Chaos Claw began to disintegrate under the impact of the beam of light, but Yun Yao was struck by a terrifying sight: the fragment of the Heavenly Dao that had slipped from the Pavilion Master's sleeve was inscribed with the birth dates of the villagers in the fishing village! It turned out that these cultivators whose memories had been erased had been the sacrifices in the Tianji Pavilion's plan from the very beginning!
"So that's how it is..." Yun Yao suddenly chuckled, with a cold light in her eyes. "You said that the absence of heaven's way will lead to chaos, but you yourself are the source of chaos!" She swung her sword violently, and the Jinghong Sword turned into a giant chaos dragon, going straight for the Pavilion Master's vital point.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. The Heavenly Dao chessboard behind the Pavilion Master suddenly emitted a blinding golden light, and twelve golden chains flew out from it, instantly entangling Yun Yao's limbs. The ancient runes emerging from the chains burned her skin, and even more terrifyingly, the three tears within her body began to boil uncontrollably!
"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen tried to rush over, but was trapped by the chaotic vortex that the Pavilion Master casually swung out. He could only watch as Yun Yao's face paled at a visible speed, and the aura of her chaotic body rapidly weakened.
"Three drops of Yunhua Tears, finally gathered." The Pavilion Master's voice was filled with greed, and he reached out to extract the tears from Yun Yao's body. "With these, let alone becoming the New Heavenly Dao, even if I control the entire God Realm..."
"Don't even think about it!" Yun Yao suddenly shouted, forcing herself to activate the "Nine Transformations of the Great Void," burning her lifespan to trigger a causal reversal. In an instant, she saw the truth of a thousand years ago: the so-called collapse of the Heavenly Dao was nothing more than a deliberate conspiracy by the Pavilion Master to seize Fairy Yunhua's Chaos Dao Body and the Taichu Divine Monarch's Taichu Sword Art!
This discovery caused Yun Yao's chaotic body to erupt again, and the golden chain broke inch by inch. But she also paid a painful price - a large number of memory fragments exploded in her sea of consciousness, and Su Yao's modern memories and Yun Hua Fairy's past life memories began to collide wildly.
"So... it was all a scam from the beginning..." Yun Yao muttered to herself, her eyes flickering with a mixture of madness and clarity. She turned to look at Chu Mochen, trapped in the vortex of chaos, and suddenly understood why he always stood before her at critical moments—because a thousand years ago, it was she who, in order to protect the Heavenly Dao, single-handedly bore the Pavilion Master's fatal blow.
"Taichu, this time it's my turn," Yun Yao whispered, pouring all three tears into the Jinghong Sword. The sword suddenly erupted with a devastating light. The Chaos Dragon and the Taichu Phoenix simultaneously flew out of the sword, transforming into a yin-yang fish pattern in mid-air.
The Pavilion Master finally showed a look of fear and tried to escape, but found that the surrounding space had already been blocked by the Yin-Yang Fish. "Impossible! How could you master the full power of the Chaos Dao Body in the Cave Void Realm!"
"Because I was never the reincarnation of Fairy Yunhua." Yun Yao's voice was eerily calm. "I am Fairy Yunhua. It was I who foresaw the fragmentation of her soul a thousand years ago."
This statement was like a thunderclap, not only leaving the Pavilion Master frozen in place, but also causing the trapped Chu Mochen to widen his eyes in shock. Yun Yao, however, gave up explaining and wielded the Jinghong Sword. The Yin and Yang fish instantly merged into one, transforming into a chaotic sword energy that pierced through heaven and earth.
The illusion collapsed under the sword energy, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were transported to the real world. However, what awaited them was not the peace of surviving a catastrophe, but a huge crack in the sky of the cultivation world - chaotic energy continuously surged from it, annihilating everything in its path.
"The Pavilion Master's words are half true and half false." The System Lord's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. "The collapse of the Heavenly Dao will indeed trigger chaos, but he wants to take this opportunity to devour the power of chaos and become the new Heavenly Dao! And now, the real crisis has just begun..."
Yun Yao held Chu Mochen's hand tightly, looking at the mountains in the distance that were eroded by chaos, and suddenly remembered the prophecy on the stone wall of the ancient temple: "When the two chapters are combined, chaos will come to the world, and only the 'Yunhua Tears' can restore the way of heaven." She looked down at her still glowing fingertips, and finally understood that the difficulties and obstacles along the way were just a trap she set for herself - in order to completely end this conspiracy that lasted for a thousand years at the most critical moment.
"Let's go." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen, a determined light flashing in her eyes, "This time, we won't run away anymore."
Chu Mochen held her hand tightly, and the Hanyuan Sword was unsheathed again: "No matter what lies ahead, I will face it with you."
The two stood side by side, ready to face the impending ultimate challenge. Behind them, the world of cultivation, ravaged by chaos, groaned in pain, as if awaiting the arrival of a new Heavenly Dao...
