305: Lin Yuan's parents

"Silent——!!!" Lin Yuan roared at the sky, the hatred contained within his voice enough to freeze the galaxy!

He understood, everything was clear now!

The suffering his parents endured, the catastrophe facing Blue Star, the root cause lay with him!

It lay in the deadly feud he had forged with the master of the Dark Abyss in the Hongmeng Divine Domain!

The pain and self-reproach brought by this realization almost tore him apart!

But at the same time, it ignited the most violent, most resolute fire of vengeance deep within his Soul!

"The pain you have inflicted upon my parents... I will make you pay it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

Lin Yuan's eyes completely transformed into burning blood-colored Chaos Return to Ruin, and the dark golden light and Primordial Purple Qi around his body intertwined and boiled frantically; his aura was violent to the extreme, yet carried a cold, resolute determination to perish together!

He no longer attempted to "strip away" that pollution core!

Because that would be equivalent to forcibly tearing out his parents' fragile Souls as well; during the stripping process, their Souls, which were polluted and deeply entangled with the saint soul, would very likely be annihilated instantly!

He needed... to enter that pollution core!

To enter the consciousness space of that eroded saint soul—the core Origin land of the Burial God Abyss!

There, he would find the Soul imprints of his parents that were imprisoned and polluted, and rescue them from the filth!

At the same time, he would completely destroy this remnant of the saint soul that served as the source of the pollution!

"Burial God Abyss... saint soul consciousness space..." Lin Yuan's Divine Thought was like lightning, instantly locking onto the pulsating filthy embryo deep within the core of Blue Star.

"Open—for me!"

He abandoned maintaining the precarious Chaos Seal light membrane and paused the stripping power.

All his strength instantly retracted and condensed!

"hong meng green lotus · Protect my true Soul!"

The huge green lotus phantom behind him suddenly contracted, transforming into a streak of nine-colored radiance condensed to the extreme, like the sturdiest armor, instantly covering Lin Yuan's entire body, especially protecting his Sea of Consciousness between his brows!

"Chaos Void Return Creation Seal — Soul Crossing the Boundless!"

Lin Yuan's hands formed a Dharma Seal so mysterious it was beyond words, and his entire aura instantly became ethereal and illusory, as if transcending beyond the material Universe!

He transformed into a streak of light purely condensed from Chaos Soul power and Grandmist creation radiance, ignoring the barriers of space, ignoring the barriers of matter and energy, like an arrow returning to its nest, charging fiercely toward the depths of Blue Star's core, toward that saint soul polluted by the Dark Abyss—the true core of the Burial God Abyss!

Swish——!

The speed of that streak of light transcended the boundaries of time and space, instantly penetrating the thick crust and the boiling mantle, plunging directly into that violently pulsating, purple-black embryo exuding endless malice!

Boom!!!

The moment the streak of light transformed from Lin Yuan's Soul plunged into the pollution core, the eye of the abyss sealed within the spatial bubble suddenly stopped attacking, emitting a shriek mixed with shock, fury, and a trace of... dread!

The dark power of the entire Burial God Abyss violently stalled because of it!

And the half of Blue Star that had been sealed, its spatial structure on the verge of collapse, seemed to have temporarily stopped disintegrating due to this violent change in the core, falling into an eerie state of solidification.

Only the pollution core—the saint soul embryo—pulsated crazily like a boiling heart, its purple-black surface light flickering on and off, as if something were stirring up monstrous waves inside it!

...

Cold, dead silent, and thick like a congealed ten-thousand-year-old blood pool.

Lin Yuan's "consciousness" "awakened" in a boundless darkness.

There was no up, down, left, or right here, no passage of time, only eternal nothingness and despair that seeped into the marrow.

The thick Dark Abyss filth wrapped around and eroded his Soul armor generated by the hong meng green lotus radiance like a living creature, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound, attempting to pollute his Dao Heart.

This was the consciousness space of that eroded saint soul—the core Origin land of the Burial God Abyss!

A cage of despair formed after the fragmented memories and boundless resentment of a fallen saint-level being were thoroughly polluted and twisted by the will of the Dark Abyss!

"Father... Mother..." Lin Yuan's Soul emitted a silent call, his Divine Thought like invisible tentacles, struggling to spread and search through this filthy darkness.

The clear radiance of the hong meng green lotus tenaciously resisted the erosion, holding up a small patch of pure land for him.

Countless broken, twisted images floated and flashed in the darkness like shards of a shattered mirror:

Fragments of a terrifying battlefield where stars collapsed and divine blood stained the Void Realm red;

Desperate scenes of countless beings wailing, twisting, and turning into dry bones in the filthy flames;

Cold, slick whispers filled with endless malice echoed deep within his Soul, tempting him to give up resistance and merge into the eternal darkness;

And... wisps of weak, intermittent Soul fluctuations filled with pain, longing, and endless sorrow, like a candle in the wind, scattered in every corner of this cage of despair!

Lin Yuan's heart tightened abruptly!

He had caught it!

That familiar Soul fluctuation, although weak, although wrapped and twisted by thick filth, the connection stemming from the depths of his Bloodline could not be wrong!

"There!"

Lin Yuan's Soul locked onto a direction, where the sorrow and longing were the most intense!

He drove his Soul power, like a traveler struggling through a filthy quagmire, and "charged" toward that direction!

Along the way, the filthy darkness obstructed him frantically, condensing into countless twisted, hideous monster forms—terrifying existences combined from the resentment of a saint and the filth of the Dark Abyss.

They roared and pounced toward Lin Yuan's Soul light mass, their sharp claws and fangs biting at the radiance shield of the hong meng green lotus.

"Get lost!"

Lin Yuan's Soul let out an angry shout, his consciousness invoking the power of the Chaos Void Return Creation Seal!

Although in this pure consciousness space, he could not use the vast primordial power of the material Universe, the true intent of the Dao still remained!

A spiritual blade condensed from pure Soul power, containing the dual true intents of Chaos annihilation and creation purification, was instantly slashed out!

Puchi!

Several of the filthy monsters that pounced were instantly slashed and purified!

He cut through thorns and thistles along the way, slashing away countless filthy phantoms, and finally broke through layers of obstacles, arriving at a relatively "empty" dark area.

The scene before his eyes made Lin Yuan's Soul tremble violently, almost to the point of collapse!

At the core of this filthy space stood two huge, filthy crystal pillars flowing with dark purple slime!

The crystal pillars were not solid, but composed of the purest pollution power of the Dark Abyss Origin, wrapped in countless pitch-black chains condensed from negative emotions such as pain, despair, and fear!

And upon those two filthy crystal pillars were shockingly imprisoned two illusory, dim, almost transparent Soul phantoms!

On the left crystal pillar was imprisoned the phantom of a middle-aged man with a firm but weathered face.

His eyes were tightly closed, his brows tightly locked, his face etched with pain that went deep into his Soul.

His Soul had been pierced through his limbs and chest by the pitch-black chains, and wisps of dark purple filth were continuously injected from the chains into his Soul body, eroding his originally gentle Soul light until it was riddled with holes.

He trembled slightly and unconsciously, each tremor accompanied by the pain of his Soul being torn apart.

On the right crystal pillar was imprisoned the phantom of a gentle and beautiful woman, though at this moment her face was twisted and full of despair.

Her Soul was likewise cruelly pierced and bound by the filthy chains.

Tears of the Soul had turned into dark purple crystals, solidified on her illusory cheeks.

She seemed to be screaming silently, her lips moving, but she could not make a sound, only endless sorrow and despair permeated the air.

They were none other than Lin Yuan's parents—Lin Zhengnan, Su Wanqing!

The two Souls tainted with the Grandmist aura were being used as "batteries" and "converters"!

Through the chains, the filthy crystal pillars forcibly injected the Blue Star life force and the desperate resentment of billions of beings devoured by the Burial God Abyss into their Souls, using the longing and persistence for their son within their Souls as a "catalyst" to convert these energies and negative emotions into the purest, most vicious power of the Dark Abyss Origin, nourishing the entire core of the Burial God Abyss!

At the same time, the pain and despair of their Souls, in turn, became the sweetest food for the will of the Dark Abyss!

"Dad! Mom——!!!"
