519: Abyss Domain

The next moment, the confusion in Ye Xuan's eyes vanished.

"To protect itself is the meaning."

He spoke in a low voice, as if responding to that consciousness, and as if making a declaration to himself.

"Reincarnation is a process, not an end. The Dao I walk is to protect what I wish to protect and do what I must do within this process!"

"Even if all things return to the abyss one day, having experienced and protected them, my Chaos Dao will encompass everything. It possesses the impartiality of the Great Dao, yet it can also accommodate this path of emotion! How can I allow you to define my existence!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

His Dao Heart was firm, and the surging Chaos Qi around him suddenly calmed. That eroding consciousness was like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to shake him in the slightest.

At the same time, he also noticed Xuanji's abnormality.

He did not directly step in to help.

Regarding the Dao Heart, only by crossing it oneself can it be considered a success; if an outsider helps, it is ultimately not the righteous path.

"Xuanji, do not forget why you came! Tai Hao is not everything."

Ye Xuan's words were like the evening drum and morning bell, striking at Xuanji's heart.

She suddenly came back to her senses, recalling her original intention for coming to find Ye Xuan, and remembering the responsibility entrusted to her by her brother.

Recalling… that lonely, resolute back of Tai Hao in the depths of her memory.

The confusion in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by an even purer, clear moonlight.

"You are right."

Xuanji took a deep breath, and the moonlight stabilized once more.

"Clear radiance shines, possessing its own Dao. These words of void cannot disturb my heart."

The two looked at each other, both seeing the firm determination in the other's eyes after experiencing the impact.

They no longer passively endured but actively circulated their Cultivation Technique. Ye Xuan used Chaos to dissolve the power, while Xuanji used moonlight to purify it, resisting the abyss.

This scene seemed to enrage that existence.

The voice of that consciousness became sharper.

At the same time, the phantom of the giant claw that had just been suppressed reappeared, frantically assaulting the newly formed Seal.

"It wants to attack from both inside and outside to exhaust our power!"

Xuanji immediately understood the opponent's intention.

Two forces appeared together, wanting to make them weary of dealing with them.

Ye Xuan's gaze swept across the flickering Seal; he had to make a decision.

"Xuanji."

Ye Xuan suddenly spoke.

"Protect me; buy me thirty breaths of time."

Xuanji was startled. Seeing the determined look in Ye Xuan's eyes, she instantly understood what he was about to do.

"You want to go in? No! It's too dangerous!"

"The Seal can only treat the symptoms. If we do not sever its root, this scourge will be endless."

Ye Xuan shook his head, his eyes as sharp as blades.

"It fears my power, and it fears yours; otherwise, it would not be so eager to confront us. Leave the outside to you; I will go and meet the essence of this abyss!"

Having said that, without waiting for Xuanji to persuade him further, Ye Xuan's figure flickered. Wrapped in chaos qi, he turned into a stream of light and actively charged into the depths of the abyss, where black mist and consciousness were constantly dissipating!

"Ye Xuan!"

Xuanji cried out in shock.

In her view, that abyss was no different from a dead end!

She subconsciously wanted to follow him and help Ye Xuan fight the consciousness.

But remembering Ye Xuan's entrustment and looking at the giant claw phantom that had become violent again outside, along with the consciousness constantly assaulting the Seal, she forcibly stopped her steps.

Biting her lower lip with her crescent-like teeth, a touch of determination flashed in Xuanji's eyes.

She formed Seals with her hands at high speed, and the moonlight within her poured out without reservation, transforming into a massive moon wheel that spanned the Chaos. The clear radiance was unprecedentedly blazing, pressing down hard on the giant claw phantom.

"You must come out safely!"

She gazed at the bottomless abyss, hoping in her heart.

Ye Xuan's figure submerged into that extreme darkness.

"Roar!"

The giant claw seemed to become even more violent because Ye Xuan had intruded into the abyss. Black mist surged, and as the clear radiance flickered, it seemed as if it would shatter at any moment.

And that invisible abyss Dao erosion did not cease; like a maggot on a bone, it continuously tried to drill into her Sea of Consciousness, tempting her to give up resistance.

But at this moment, Xuanji's eyes were exceptionally firm.

Ye Xuan had handed the battlefield outside to her; she could not retreat.

"Clear radiance shines forever; moonlight suppresses the world!"

She gave a clear shout, and the surging Moon Divine Power within her was unleashed without reservation.

It transformed into a crystal-clear round mirror, suspended before the entrance of the abyss.

The mirror's surface glowed with circulating light, reflecting the hideousness of the giant claw.

Wherever the moonlight mirror's radiance reached, the violent black mist erupted with sizzling sounds of dissolution.

The momentum of the giant claw's assault was actually forcibly curbed by a few points.

Using her own power as the core, she constructed a purification barrier.

...

At the same time, inside the abyss.

Ye Xuan fell into an absolute Domain where neither time nor space could be perceived.

All around was darkness as thick as substance. Countless shattered grievances and scenes of destruction surged from all directions like a tide, impacting his Divine Soul, attempting to drag him into this eternal abyss.

"Tai Hao… traitor… why block my return path…"

"Destruction is rebirth… silence is eternity."

"Join us… merge into one…"

The chaotic thoughts were pervasive, more than a hundred times stronger than when they were outside!

chaos qi flowed autonomously around Ye Xuan, isolating most of the erosion.

He sank his mind into the chaos dao seed; the dao seed vibrated slightly, emitting a hazy, clear light, protecting the clarity of his Sea of Consciousness.

He could feel that the core of the abyss Dao erosion—which condensed the ultimate evil thoughts of countless sealed beings—was hidden somewhere in this abyss.

The deeper Ye Xuan went, the greater the pressure around him became, to the point that even Ye Xuan could barely withstand it.

And Ye Xuan's vision also seemed to become hazy.

The darkness around him began to writhe like a living thing, condensing into blurry figures.

There were majestic Heavenly Gods, charming demonesses, compassionate Buddhas, and hideous Vicious Beasts.

These were all afterimages left by powerful beings who were once sealed by Tai Hao and whose wills were eventually assimilated by the abyss.

Ye Xuan's memory even retained every moment before these powerhouses were sealed.

"Tai Hao… you have come…"

"This time, you cannot escape…"

"Stay, and witness the end of all things with us…"

These afterimages made seductive sounds while simultaneously unleashing the Divine Ability and Law they had used in life. Although their power was not even one ten-thousandth of their original bodies, when gathered together, they still formed a terrifying offensive, attacking Ye Xuan from all directions.

Ye Xuan's gaze tightened; he dared not be negligent.

He joined his fingers like a sword, and the Chaos Qi transformed into streams of Sword Qi, sweeping out.

Where the Sword Qi passed, those afterimages shattered like bubbles, turning back into black mist.

But soon, more afterimages condensed, as if they were endless.

And the consciousness all around was also constantly eroding Ye Xuan.

Wanting to drag him into the abyss of confusion.

Ye Xuan naturally would not let these negative consciousnesses consume his power.

With a thought from Ye Xuan, the Chaos Domain around him suddenly reversed, actively devouring everything that surged from all around!

The Chaos Dao encompasses all things; it can create all things, and it can also silence all things!

He would use his own Chaos power as a furnace to refine these eroding forces!
