413: The intractable power of the demon

The light of the Kongtong Seal spread like a tide, dispelling all Devilish Qi in its path.

The ethereal forms of the Xuanyuan Sword and the Shennong Cauldron intertwined in the air, forming a perfectly vast Formation.

Ye Xuan slowly raised his hand, lifting the Xuanyuan Sword high.

The patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers on the sword's body detached from it and merged with the light of the Kongtong Seal.

In an instant, they transformed into the purest and most potent power.

Even more astonishingly, the Shennong Cauldron, which had been corrupted by Devilish Qi, suddenly trembled violently, and the purplish-black Texture on its surface began to slowly peel off!

The Shennong Cauldron, originally tainted by Devilish Qi, now burst forth with a verdant green life force.

That power was slowly dispelling the Devilish Qi.

"No! This is impossible!"

Purple Moon's remaining black Qi shrieked.

"How could the Three Divine Artifacts..."

Her voice abruptly cut off.

Because the Devil God's heart within the Cauldron was now being simultaneously pierced by three beams of light!

"So that's how it is..."

Purple Moon suddenly understood.

"The Shennong Cauldron alone couldn't refine the Devil God's heart; only the combination of the Three Divine Artifacts possesses that power!"

Ten thousand years ago, what Tai Hao and Nv Xi set up was not merely a simple Seal, but a peerless grand Formation designed to continuously refine the Devil God's heart.

The Xuanyuan Sword governs slaughter, the Kongtong Seal suppresses Luck, and the Shennong Cauldron refines all things; when the three merge, they become the ultimate Divine Artifact for refining Chaos!

Coupled with the Nuwa Stone's power of dissolution and rebirth, even if the Devil God's power were to revive, it would be purified immediately.

This was fundamentally a trap set by the former Tai Hao.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst earth-shattering explosions, the Devil God's heart completely shattered.

Countless black Qi tried to escape but were firmly trapped by the light net formed by the Three Divine Artifacts, dissolving bit by bit.

The power of the Devil God's heart involved was constantly surging.

It seemed to want to escape.

"Refine."

The life force of the Shennong Cauldron suddenly surged madly at that moment.

Then, in the next instant, it exploded with a roar.

At that moment, Ye Xuan activated the Array Secret of the Nine Secrets, and instantly, the surrounding spatial Formation patterns erupted.

The Array Secret, combined with the power of the stars from the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, constructed an absolute net within this space.

No matter how the Devil God's power impacted it, it could never escape.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the Devil God's power, seemingly realizing it could no longer escape, directly turned and charged towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan seemed not to have expected the Devil God's power to charge at him.

It was too late to redirect the Formation patterns to block it.

Thus, the Devil God's power, at that moment, directly rushed into Ye Xuan's Physical Body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At that moment, Ye Xuan's eyes turned crimson, and his entire being seemed to be contaminated by Devilish Qi.

"Husband! Are you alright?"

Tang Linglong tightly held Ye Xuan's hand and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Ye Xuan felt the Devilish Qi constantly impacting his Physical Body, gritting his teeth as he sealed the Devilish Qi within his Physical Body.

This Devil God's power was too strong; Ye Xuan couldn't refine it in a short period.

The surrounding space also began to collapse at this moment, and Fire Linger weakly grasped Ye Xuan's arm: "Husband... we need to leave here."

Ye Xuan, however, shook his head, looking towards the edge of the platform.

Suspended there was a crystal, clear as day, with Yue Xuan's last remnant soul sealed inside!

"There's still a chance!"

He rushed over and held the crystal in his hand.

"The Three Divine Artifacts are already in hand, Yue Xuan will revive, and we just need to..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire world within the Cauldron vibrated violently.

From outside came Elder Golden Flame's final shout: "Lord Ye Xuan, go!"

Blinding golden light penetrated the Cauldron wall, and Ye Xuan instantly understood what had happened.

Elder Golden Flame had self-destructed his Origin to open a path to survival for them!

"Hold onto me!"

He embraced Tang Linglong with one arm and pulled Fire Linger with the other.

The light of the Three Divine Artifacts enveloped the three of them, soaring upwards along the golden light passage.

The moment they rushed out of the Shennong Cauldron, the Eternal Day Valley behind them had already turned into a golden sea of fire.

Hundreds of demonized Golden Crows wailed in the fire, ultimately turning to ashes.

That was the choice made by the Golden Crow Clan's Grand Elder at the last moment.

Even if the entire Golden Crow Clan perished, they would absolutely not allow these demonized Golden Crows to be released to wreak havoc on the world.

"Golden Flame."

Ye Xuan watched this scene, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Ye Xuan tightened his grip on the crystal in his hand; Yue Xuan's remnant soul within it flickered slightly, seemingly responding to his call.

Fire Linger suddenly pointed into the distance: "Husband, look!"

Only to see a perfectly intact bronze Cauldron slowly rising from the center of the explosion.

There was no trace of Devilish Qi on the Cauldron's body, emitting a pure life force—this was the true Shennong Cauldron!

That verdant green life force enveloped the Shennong Cauldron, and at that moment, the surrounding mountains, which had been demonized, were gradually recovering under the power of the Shennong Cauldron.

Ye Xuan raised his hand and collected the Shennong Cauldron.

The next moment, a purple moonlight descended from the sky, and Purple Moon's figure reappeared!

"Brother Tai Hao, do you think... this is the end?"

Her voice was weak yet venomous.

"The Devil God is immortal, and I am also indestructible, Brother Tai Hao, thank you for absorbing the Devil God's power; this way, even if the Devil God cannot revive, he can still survive."

Even more terrifying, she held a wisp of golden soul in her hand—that was Elder Golden Flame's last Origin!

"Do you want to save him?"

Purple Moon cackled sinisterly: "Then come to the Immortal Realm to find me; I'll be waiting for you in the Immortal Palace."

Before her words finished, her figure dissipated into the Void Realm.

And Ye Xuan, at that moment, was completely engulfed by the Devilish Qi's backlash.

"Husband!"

Tang Linglong's cry of alarm exploded in his ears, muffled and distant.

Ye Xuan's vision was filled only with blood, his ears filled with the Devil God's whispers, the sound like millions of ants crawling within his skull.

"I'm fine."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words, veins bulging on his forehead.

He sat cross-legged, forming hand Seals, his spiritual Qi circulating wildly within his Physical Body, engaging in a tug-of-war with the invading Devil God's power.

The Xuanyuan Sword and the Kongtong Seal, at this moment, appeared on their own, floating above Ye Xuan's head, emitting a soft light, forming a golden light shield that enveloped him.

"Ling'er, help me as Protector."

Ye Xuan's voice was hoarse.

"This Devil God's power is more troublesome than imagined."

Fire Linger nodded; although she was also very weak, Ye Xuan at this moment clearly could not be disturbed.

Ye Xuan looked inward, only to see the black and red intertwined Devil God's power flowing like venomous snakes through his Meridians, causing his spiritual Qi to boil wherever it passed.

Even more terrifying, this power was attempting to corrode his Divine Sense; this kind of power, Ye Xuan was all too familiar with—it was clearly trying to take Possession of his Physical Body.

"Trying to Possess me?"

Ye Xuan sneered, activating the Fore Secret among the Nine Secrets, and his Divine Sense instantly became as firm as a rock.

At the same time, he mobilized the imprints of the Three Divine Artifacts within his Physical Body, constructing a triple line of defense within his Meridians.
