"Hold onto your heart!" White Night bit his tongue tip sharply, spraying a mouthful of golden divine blood onto his brow, causing the light of the eternal divine seal to suddenly surge.
Within the golden light, the purified phantom remnants of the Chaos God King, the Spacetime Palace Master, and others appeared one after another. They chanted an ancient calming mantra in unison, dispelling those negative emotions bit by bit.
"Thank you, seniors." White Night thought silently to himself, seizing the opportunity to condense his divine sense into a purple-gold long blade, which he swung at those twisted human faces.
Wherever the long blade passed, the human faces shattered like bubbles, transforming into pure spiritual energy that merged into his divine sense.
This was a new method he had discovered; rather than defending passively, it was better to actively absorb these grievances and transform them into his own power.
But this method was undoubtedly walking a tightrope.
Every time he absorbed a wisp of grievance, black ripples would spread across White Night's divine body, and the aura of the Demon Lord's origin would strengthen accordingly.
Several times, half of his divine body was covered in black, and even the golden light of the eternal divine seal was nearly suppressed.
"This cannot go on." White Night looked at the still stubborn black crystal on his brow, a flash of determination in his eyes. "Since it cannot be completely suppressed, I will try to understand it, to merge with it!"
He made a bold decision.
He temporarily withdrew the golden light of the eternal divine seal, allowing the energy of the Demon Lord's origin to flow through his body.
This risky move plunged him into immediate crisis. The black filaments of light, as if finding a vent, surged frantically into his limbs and bones. Wherever they passed, the Chaos Law was tainted with an evil aura.
"Ah!"
White Night let out a painful roar as the skin on the surface of his divine body began to crack inch by inch, revealing the bones beneath, which were flowing with black energy.
His eyes turned pure black, and within his pupils, the three hideous heads of the Demon Lord could be faintly seen.
Just as he was about to be completely devoured by the Demon Lord's origin, the silver mark of the space-time anchor suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
Within the silver light, countless space-time runes streaked across like meteors, locking onto those black filaments of light one by one.
These runes were not suppressing the filaments of light, but rather analyzing their essence. This was an ability White Night had comprehended after merging with the Spacetime Law; he could trace the source of the energy to find its weaknesses.
"So that's it..." A flash of realization crossed White Night's eyes. "The Demon Lord's origin power is actually a mutated form of the Chaos Law!"
He discovered that the Demon Lord's origin and the Chaos Law shared the same root, only they had headed in completely different directions.
The Chaos Law was all-encompassing, capable of both creation and destruction, whereas the Demon Lord's origin had completely abandoned creation, retaining only the characteristics of destruction and devouring.
"Since they share the same source, they can be transformed into one another!" White Night felt a surge of joy and quickly operated the Nine Transformations of Chaos technique, guiding the Chaos Law to flow toward those black filaments of light.
A miraculous scene unfolded; the two energies, which had previously been like fire and water, began to slowly merge within his divine body.
Nourished by the Chaos Law, the black filaments of light gradually shed their evil aura, transforming into a brand-new type of energy.
This energy possessed both the devouring power of the Demon Lord's origin and the inclusiveness and creativity of the Chaos Law; its power was actually three parts stronger than the pure Chaos Law!
But the process of this fusion remained extremely dangerous.
Whenever the two energies collided, White Night's divine body would tremble violently, as if it were about to be torn apart.
Once, his left arm even turned directly into a mass of black mist, unable to re-condense no matter how he urged the laws.
"I must find a balance point." White Night gritted his teeth and added the power of the space-time anchor into the mix.
The silver Spacetime Law acted like a precise regulator, constantly adjusting the fusion ratio of the two energies.
Under the influence of the Spacetime Law, the fusion of the black filaments of light and the Chaos Law became increasingly smooth, and White Night's divine body began to undergo astonishing changes.
A layer of faint, black-and-white patterns appeared on the surface of his skin. These patterns moved like living things, sometimes transforming into chaotic air currents, sometimes into black filaments of light.
In the third month of his seclusion, when the last wisp of the black filaments was fused, White Night's divine body suddenly erupted with a brilliant light.
This light was half gold and half black, intertwining to form a peculiar yin-yang fish pattern.
The black crystal on his brow had disappeared, replaced by a black-and-white vortex that constantly inhaled and exhaled the surrounding energy.
"Success!" White Night felt the unprecedented power within his body and couldn't help but let out a long roar.
At this moment, he had not only completely mastered the Demon Lord's origin power but had also created a brand-new law!
The Chaos Devouring Law!
This law could encompass all things like the Chaos Law, and could also devour energy like the Demon Lord's origin; its power was boundless.
He attempted to activate the new law, and a black-and-white beam shot from his fingertips, landing on a nearby godfall stone.
Wherever the beam passed, the godfall stone instantly turned into powder. However, the powder did not vanish; instead, it was drawn by the beam and re-condensed into a brand-new godfall stone.
Only now, this godfall stone had an extra layer of faint chaotic patterns, and its hardness was more than ten times greater than before.
"Is this the perfect combination of creation and destruction?" White Night muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement.
He could feel that his strength had far exceeded that of an ordinary God King, and was even a few degrees stronger than the Chaos God King at his peak.
Just then, the foundation of the God Conferment Platform trembled violently, and a familiar evil aura came from the outside world.
White Night's heart tightened. He immediately reined in his aura, and his divine sense surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Eternal Continent.
He saw that a huge rift had once again opened in the sky above the Eternal Continent, and the figure of the Demon Lord slowly emerged from within the rift.
Unlike before, the Demon Lord's aura at this moment was more powerful than ever.
On his three heads, flames of three different colors—red, black, and white—burned respectively. Countless chains of laws circled his body, the ends of which were connected to dead stars.
"White Night, come out and die!" The Demon Lord's voice exploded like thunder, shaking the entire Eternal Continent. "I have fused the origin of the three realms; today shall be your death day!"
Lieyang, Kāśyapa Buddha, Chaos Old Monster, and others rose into the air one after another to confront the Demon Lord.
Their faces were filled with gravity, as they had clearly also felt the Demon Lord's terrifying aura.
"Activate the eternal great array!" Lieyang roared, and the nine divine mountains of the Eternal Continent lit up simultaneously. The golden array unfolded once more, firmly blocking the Demon Lord outside.
But this time, the light of the golden array appeared somewhat dim; it was clearly struggling to withstand the Demon Lord's attack.
"It's useless!" The Demon Lord sneered, and his three heads simultaneously spewed out flames of three different colors. The flames intertwined in the air into a huge tri-colored beam of light, smashing fiercely against the eternal great array.
"Boom—!"
The golden array trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on its surface, as if it were about to shatter. Lieyang and the others simultaneously sprayed a mouthful of divine blood, injecting their divine power into the array, only then barely managing to stabilize it.
Just at this critical moment, a black-and-white beam of light suddenly shot out from the foundation of the God Conferment Platform, like a meteor piercing through the darkness, and accurately struck the Demon Lord's tri-colored beam.
"Puff—!"
The tri-colored beam shattered like paper, and the Demon Lord let out a shrill scream. He was actually forced back repeatedly by this black-and-white beam, and the flames on his three heads dimmed significantly.
"Who?!" The Demon Lord was both shocked and furious, his gaze locked tightly onto the direction of the God Conferment Platform.
A figure slowly rose from the foundation of the God Conferment Platform; it was none other than White Night, who had finished his seclusion.
At this moment, he was wearing a black-and-white chaotic divine armor. The patterns on the divine armor sometimes transformed into chaotic air currents, and sometimes into black filaments of light, exuding a heart-palpitating pressure.
His eyes were still black, but there was now a hint of golden light in his pupils, making him appear mysterious and majestic.
"Demon Lord, long time no see." White Night's voice was calm and waveless, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"It's you?!" The Demon Lord looked at the aura on White Night that was both familiar and strange, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You actually fused with my origin power? This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." White Night smiled slightly, his figure flickering as he appeared before the Demon Lord, the Eternal Demon Blade already in his hand, though no one knew when it had appeared.
The blade was wrapped in the black-and-white Chaos Devouring Law. "Now, it is time to settle our final account."
"Arrogant!" The Demon Lord roared, his three heads opening their huge mouths simultaneously to spew countless chains of laws toward White Night.
These chains were burning with tri-colored flames, more than a hundred times stronger than the previous black filaments of light; this was clearly a new ability after fusing the origin of the three realms.
White Night's eyes narrowed, and the Chaos Devouring Law was suddenly activated.
With a light wave of the Eternal Demon Blade, a black-and-white blade light slashed out. Wherever the blade light passed, those chains of laws were devoured one by one, transforming into pure energy that merged into the blade light.
The power of the blade light grew stronger and stronger, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it slashed toward the Demon Lord's three heads.
"Not good!" The Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, and he quickly merged his three heads together to form a huge defensive barrier.
But this barrier was like nothing before the black-and-white blade light, and it was shattered instantly.
"Psh—!"
The blade light slashed onto the Demon Lord's true form, cutting the mass of chaotic mist composed of countless law fragments in two.
The Demon Lord let out a shrill scream, his aura instantly wilting.
"This... how can this be?!" The Demon Lord's voice was filled with fear and unwillingness. He could not understand, no matter how he tried, how he could still be so easily defeated by White Night after fusing the origin of the three realms.
White Night did not give the Demon Lord a chance to react; his figure flickered as he appeared before his true form, and the Eternal Demon Blade slashed out again.
This time, he used the full power of the Chaos Devouring Law, and the black-and-white light erupting from the blade almost dyed the entire sky black and white.
"No—!"
The Demon Lord let out a desperate roar, attempting to burn his own origin for a final struggle.
But his origin power was no match at all before White Night's Chaos Devouring Law, and it was instantly devoured completely.
When the black-and-white blade light dissipated, the Demon Lord's true form had completely vanished, leaving only a dim black godhead floating in the air.
White Night reached out and grabbed the godhead, holding it in his hand. The final wail of the Demon Lord came from the godhead, but it was soon completely purified by the Chaos Devouring Law.
High above the Eternal Continent, the huge rift slowly closed.
When the last trace of the evil aura vanished, the entire Eternal Continent erupted in thunderous cheers.
Lieyang, Kāśyapa Buddha, Chaos Old Monster, and others came to White Night's side one after another, looking at the mysterious and powerful aura on him, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.
"White Night, you have completely eliminated the Demon Lord!" Lieyang said excitedly.
White Night shook his head and tucked the purified black godhead into his body: "Although the Demon Lord has been eliminated, his origin power has already merged into the laws of the Eternal God Realm. We will need a long time to completely clear away these influences."
Everyone followed White Night's gaze toward the depths of the universe, where it was pitch black.
But there was no fear in their eyes, only firm conviction.
...
Deep within the foundation of the God Conferment Platform, White Night sat cross-legged once again, beginning to study the purified black godhead.
The godhead contained the Demon Lord's understanding of the origin of the three realms, which was of great help for him to perfect the Chaos Devouring Law.
When he opened his eyes again, a flash of realization crossed them.
"Next, it is time to end this trial..."
"Blue Star... wait for me."
