World-Destroying Demon Cauldron

【Killed 1 late-stage Immortal Venerable Realm Demon Lord, obtained 1 Demon Lord Origin, Chaos Star Realm Magic Law fusion rate +20%】

【Demon Abyss entrance opened, Demon Realm map exploration progress increased to 50%】

Having dealt with the Black Wind Demon Lord, White Night mounted the Silver Wolf and flew toward the entrance of the Demon Abyss.

The aura within the Demon Abyss grew increasingly powerful. The devouring force of the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron constantly struck against the barrier of the Chaos Star Realm; if not for the continuous purification of the Star Origin, the Chaos Star Realm would likely have collapsed long ago.

Upon entering the Demon Abyss, White Night discovered that this was a vast space.

In the center of the space stood a black cauldron, engraved with countless hideous demonic patterns. From within the cauldron, the screams of cultivators could be heard incessantly—this was none other than the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron!

Standing around the cauldron was a figure clad in golden demonic armor; it was the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm!

The Demon Emperor's face was handsome yet carried an evil aura. His body was surrounded by golden demonic energy, which was even purer than that of the Black Wind Demon Lord, capable of even resisting the purifying power of the Star Origin.

In his hand, he held a golden magic staff embedded with a massive demonic crystal, emitting the pressure of the peak Immortal Venerable Realm.

"You are White Night?" the Demon Emperor spoke slowly, his voice carrying majesty. "To be able to destroy this Emperor's vanguard camp and slay four Demon Lords, you are indeed a rare talent. Unfortunately, you should not have stepped into the Demon Abyss; this place will be your burial ground."

White Night gripped his iron sword tightly, a flash of determination in his eyes.

He knew this battle would be the most difficult one in his journey through the Nine Heavens Realm, and it was also the battle that would decide the fate of the Nine Heavens Realm.

He had to give his all; even if it cost him his life, he had to defeat the Demon Emperor and destroy the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron!

"Demon Emperor, today is your death day!"

White Night's voice echoed throughout the Demon Abyss. The Chaos Star Realm suddenly unfurled, with cyan and black energy currents intertwining with golden Star Power to form a massive network of laws, shrouding the entire Demon Abyss.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf was also prepared for battle, its body surging with silver light as it readied its void-traveling divine ability.

Watching White Night's actions, the Demon Emperor curled his lips into a sneer: "Overestimating yourself! Today, this Emperor will let you witness the true power of the peak Immortal Venerable Realm!"

He raised the magic staff in his hand, and golden demonic energy poured crazily into the cauldron.

The World-Destroying Demon Cauldron suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. The screams from within the cauldron grew increasingly intense, and a powerful devouring force spread from the cauldron, attacking White Night.

An ultimate battle deciding the fate of the Nine Heavens Realm and the Outer-Domain Demon Realm had thus begun!

...

The golden light erupted from the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron, as if casting the entire Demon Abyss into a furnace.

The golden demonic energy was no longer in its previous loose state, but had condensed into tangible chains. Each chain was wrapped in three twisted demonic patterns—corresponding to the three laws of "Devouring," "Corrosion," and "Enslavement." This was the "Three Absolute Demonic Patterns" that the Demon Emperor had spent one hundred thousand years researching, capable of simultaneously acting upon a cultivator's physical body, immortal soul, and laws. Even a late-stage Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator would be reduced to a puppet in an instant once entangled by these chains.

"White Night, this Emperor will give you one last chance." The Demon Emperor leaned on his golden magic staff, standing beside the Demon Cauldron. The patterns on his golden demonic armor resonated with the demonic patterns of the cauldron, forming a golden light screen covering the entire Demon Abyss. "Submit to the Demon Realm, and this Emperor will appoint you as the 'Chaos Demon General,' commanding a million demon troops and sharing the power of the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron. Otherwise, today you shall become the most noble nourishment within the Demon Cauldron."

White Night did not respond, only driving the energy of his Chaos Star Realm to the extreme.

The cyan and black energy currents flowed rapidly within the domain, intertwining with golden Star Power to form a massive network of laws. Each node in the network corresponded to a star in the Nine Heavens Realm; even while in the Demon Abyss, the resonance of the Star Origin could still provide him with an endless supply of energy.

The iron sword in his hand shimmered with a cyan-gold radiance, its runic array operating frantically, slicing tiny rifts into the surrounding space.

"Stubborn fool!" The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and struck the ground fiercely with his magic staff. "Since you wish to die, this Emperor will grant your wish!"

The chains within the golden light screen suddenly surged, rushing toward White Night like a tidal wave.

The speed of these chains was even faster than the Black Wind Demon Lord's wind blades. The space along their path was forcibly torn apart, and even the law network of the Chaos Star Realm began to show signs of distortion.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf saw this, its body erupting with silver light, fully unleashing its void-traveling divine ability. It transformed into a streak of silver light, bypassing to the front of White Night, its wolf claws gathering the sharpness of spatial rifts as it attempted to tear the chains apart.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The moment the wolf claws collided with the chains, a deafening metallic clashing sound erupted.

The Silver Wolf was shaken, retreating repeatedly, the starlight on its claws dimming slightly; it was clear there was a gap in strength compared to the Demon Emperor.

And those attacked chains only showed a few tiny scratches, recovering to their original state quickly as they continued to surge toward White Night.

"Silver Wolf, back down!"

White Night gave a low shout, thoroughly fusing the Chaos Law with the Star Origin. The cyan-gold radiance on the iron sword surged, condensing into a sword shadow a zhang high in front of him.

The sword shadow contained the dual power of destruction and purification; every swing could invoke the Space Law within the Demon Abyss, forming countless cyan-gold spatial blades.

"Chaos Star Extinction · Space Rift!"

The moment the sword shadow slashed down, countless spatial blades collided with the golden chains.

Although the golden chains were tough, they could not withstand the cutting of the spatial blades, and were slashed into several segments one after another. Black demonic blood oozed from the fractures, turning into sizzling demonic mist in the void.

However, the Demon Emperor's power far exceeded imagination; those severed chains quickly re-condensed under the nourishment of the golden light screen, continuing to surge toward White Night as if they could never be cut through entirely.

"It's useless!" the Demon Emperor's voice carried mockery. "The World-Destroying Demon Cauldron can absorb the energy of the entire Demon Realm. As long as the Demon Realm still exists, these chains will never disappear! You think you can contend against the power of this Emperor and the Demon Cauldron on your own? That is simply a fool's dream!"

He raised his hand and waved it toward the Demon Cauldron. The screams within the cauldron suddenly became intense, and a devouring force several times stronger than before spread from the cauldron, attacking White Night's Chaos Star Realm.

Under the influence of the devouring force, the law network of the Star Realm began to develop cracks. The flow of the cyan and black energy currents became sluggish, and even the resonance of the Star Origin was affected; those beams of Star Power from the Nine Heavens Realm dimmed slightly.

White Night's expression turned grave; he could feel that the power of the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron was increasing rapidly.

The more immortal souls of cultivators were devoured within the cauldron, the stronger the Demon Cauldron's power became. If this continued, his Chaos Star Realm would sooner or later be destroyed by the power of the Demon Cauldron.

"Must destroy the Demon Cauldron as soon as possible!" White Night thought to himself. He suddenly injected all the energy of the Chaos Star Realm into the iron sword, while simultaneously invoking his own Immortal Venerable Origin.

The cyan and black energy currents and the golden Star Power intertwined crazily on the sword, forming a miniature Chaos Star. The surface of the star constantly flickered with law runes, each rune containing power sufficient to destroy an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator.

"Chaos Star Extinction · Origin!"

White Night's figure vanished into the void, appearing again directly above the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron.

He raised his iron sword and slashed toward the top of the cauldron. This strike fused his Immortal Venerable Origin with the Star Origin; it was the strongest killing move he could currently unleash, one that even the Demon Emperor had to take seriously.

"Want to destroy the Demon Cauldron? Not that easy!" the Demon Emperor roared, his entire body's golden demonic energy pouring crazily into the Demon Cauldron.

A golden demonic shield suddenly condensed on top of the cauldron, engraved with countless Three Absolute Demonic Patterns, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure—this was a defense condensed by the Demon Emperor using his own origin demonic essence, capable of withstanding the full-force strike of a peak Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator.

"Clang—!" The moment the iron sword collided with the demonic shield, the entire Demon Abyss shook violently.

The cyan-gold sword light and the golden demonic shield intertwined, forming a massive energy vortex. Within the vortex, the Chaos Law and the Three Absolute Demonic Patterns clashed crazily; the golden Star Power constantly purified the black demonic energy, while the black demonic patterns constantly corroded the golden Star Power, the two stalemated.

White Night's arm began to tremble slightly; the consumption of his Immortal Venerable Origin made him feel a wave of weakness, and a trace of golden immortal blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not give up, instead injecting more Star Origin into the iron sword. The cyan-gold radiance on the sword became even more dazzling, gradually suppressing the golden demonic shield.

The Demon Emperor's expression became ugly; he had not expected White Night's power to be so formidable.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly pressed his left hand onto the Demon Cauldron. Black demonic blood flowed along the patterns of the cauldron, and the screams within the cauldron instantly reached a peak. A devouring force ten times stronger than before erupted from the cauldron, attacking White Night.

"Even if this Emperor has to risk depleting my origin, I will devour you!"

The Demon Emperor's voice carried madness, and the patterns on his golden demonic armor began to dim, clearly as he burned his own origin demonic essence.

The devouring force, like a black tsunami, instantly submerged White Night's Chaos Star Realm.

The law network of the Star Realm began to collapse rapidly, the flow of cyan and black energy currents became stagnant, and even the cyan-gold radiance on the iron sword began to dim.

White Night could feel his immortal soul being forcibly pulled, flying toward the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron; had it not been for the protection of the Star Origin, his immortal soul would likely have been devoured by the Demon Cauldron long ago.

"My Lord!" the Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out an anxious roar, its body erupting with dazzling silver light as it rushed toward White Night regardless of the cost.

Its wolf claws gathered all the power of the Space Law, fiercely clawing toward the source of the devouring force—the mouth of the World-Destroying Demon Cauldron.

"Pfft!"

The Silver Wolf's claws pierced into the mouth of the cauldron, but were instantly corroded by the demonic energy within, its Silver Wolf fur beginning to fall off, revealing the bloody, mangled wounds underneath.

Yet it did not retreat, instead continuing to inject the Space Law into the cauldron, attempting to destroy the internal structure of the Demon Cauldron.

"How dare a vile beast act so presumptuously!" the Demon Emperor snorted coldly, raising his hand to strike a palm toward the Silver Wolf.

The golden demonic palm, carrying powerful pressure, instantly sent the Silver Wolf flying, silver blood tracing a graceful arc in the air.

"Wind Howling Silver Wolf!" A flash of madness crossed White Night's eyes. He suddenly concentrated all his Chaos Law and Star Origin into his iron sword; the cyan-gold light on the blade surged violently, forming a pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth. This pillar of light contained all his power, even including his life origin—this was a killer move meant for mutual destruction!

"Demon Emperor, even if I die today, I will drag you down with me to the grave!"

White Night's voice echoed in the Demon Abyss, carrying resolute killing intent. He raised his iron sword and slashed simultaneously toward the Demon Emperor and the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron. The speed of the light pillar was as fast as lightning; the space along its path was completely torn apart, and even the golden light curtain could not block its trajectory.

The Demon Emperor's face turned pale for the first time. He could feel that the power contained in this pillar of light was enough to destroy both him and the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron. He wanted to flee, but discovered that his body was firmly locked by the laws within the light pillar, making even movement difficult.

"No! This Emperor is not resigned to this!" The Demon Emperor let out a desperate roar, frantically burning his own source demonic energy in an attempt to condense one last defense before him. But it was all too late; the cyan-gold pillar of light instantly engulfed him and the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron.

A violent explosion resounded in the Demon Abyss. Golden demonic energy and cyan-black Chaos airflow clashed frantically, and the space of the entire Demon Abyss began to collapse rapidly. White Night was sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, slamming heavily against the wall of the Demon Abyss. He spat out a large mouthful of golden immortal blood, and his consciousness began to blur.

Before losing consciousness, he saw the Wind Howling Silver Wolf flying toward him, its eyes filled with worry. He also saw the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron gradually dissipating under the purification of the light pillar, and the Demon Emperor's screams slowly disappearing into the roar of the explosion.

He did not know how much time had passed when White Night slowly opened his eyes. He found himself lying in a sea of golden light, with countless golden specks of light floating around him; these specks of light were the immortal souls of the cultivators swallowed by the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron. The Wind Howling Silver Wolf lay beside him, and although the starlight on its fur was dim, it was still guarding him.

"Where is this..." White Night tried to get up, but found his body exceptionally weak. The depletion of his Immortal Venerable Realm origin had caused his cultivation to temporarily drop to the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Child, you succeeded." A familiar voice rang out in the sea of light, and the figure of Old Man Wind slowly condensed. His figure was clearer than before; one could even see the detailed texture on his clothing. "You not only defeated the Demon Emperor, but also destroyed the World-Extinguishing Demon Cauldron, saving all the swallowed immortal souls of the cultivators."

"Old Man Wind..." A flash of pleasant surprise crossed White Night's eyes. "How are you here?"

Old Man Wind smiled slightly. "Before these immortal souls were swallowed by the Demon Cauldron, they had all been nourished by the Star Origin and had a weak connection with me. After the Demon Cauldron was destroyed, I used the power of these immortal souls to temporarily condense a physical body." He raised his hand and waved it toward White Night, and a golden stream of light merged into his body. "This is the power of gratitude from all the immortal souls. It can quickly restore your Immortal Venerable Realm origin and also raise the fusion degree of your Chaos Law and Star Law to the ultimate level."

The moment the stream of light merged into his body, a warm and gentle energy spread through his blood vessels to his whole body. White Night could feel that his Immortal Venerable Realm origin was rapidly recovering, and the law network of the Chaos Star Realm began to re-condense, becoming even more stable than before. The Wind Howling Silver Wolf was also nourished by the stream of light; the starlight on its fur became more brilliant, and its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three days later, White Night's cultivation not only recovered to the late stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm, but also broke through to the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm! The scope of the Chaos Star Realm expanded several times over, capable of covering the entire Outer Demon Realm. The law network within the domain was also more complex, containing various laws such as Chaos, Star, Space, and Wind, forming a perfect closed-loop of laws.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm." Old Man Wind's voice carried a sense of gratification. "Now, you have the ability to protect the entire Nine Heavens Realm and the Outer Demon Realm. But you must remember, the universe is vast, and there are countless unknown star regions and threats; your journey is not yet over."

White Night nodded, a firm light flashing in his eyes. "I know. But before that, I must first thoroughly purify the demons in the Outer Demon Realm and make this a peaceful star region."

Over the next hundred years, White Night began to set about purifying the Outer Demon Realm. He covered the entire Demon Realm with the law network of the Chaos Star Realm, and the cyan-black airflow constantly purified the demonic energy in the air. Under the influence of the purification power, those low-level demons gradually lost their aggression and turned into docile creatures. As for those stubborn high-level demons, White Night took action personally, defeating them one by one, either completely annihilating them or sealing them in the depths of the Demon Realm.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf became the King of Star Beasts of the Demon Realm, commanding all the purified demonic beasts and guarding the order of the Demon Realm. Its void traversal divine ability became increasingly refined, and it could even open a stable passage between the Nine Heavens Realm and the Demon Realm, facilitating communication between the cultivators of the two places.

A hundred years later, the Outer Demon Realm completely shed the title of "Demon Nest" and became a vibrant star region. The black celestial bodies here radiated green light once again, the air was filled with a fresh scent, and countless new creatures were born here, forming a unique landscape.

White Night stood in the center of the Demon Realm, overlooking this star region he had purified, his eyes filled with gratification. The figure of Old Man Wind slowly condensed; his physical form was more stable than before, clearly having borrowed the energy of the Demon Realm. "Child, your mission has been completed. But there are countless star regions in the universe that need protection, and countless secrets waiting for you to explore. Now, it is time to start a new journey."

White Night nodded and turned to look in the direction of the Nine Heavens Realm. There were the cultivators he was familiar with, the Star Academy he had established, and the home he had protected. But he knew that his Dao was not just about protection, but also about exploration and inheritance.

"Old Man Wind, are you willing to go explore the universe with me?" White Night asked.

Old Man Wind smiled slightly. "My mission has been completed; the road ahead is one you need to walk yourself. But I will merge my consciousness into the Star Origin, forever guarding the Nine Heavens Realm and the Demon Realm. Whenever you need it, I will provide you with help at any time."

As his voice fell, the figure of Old Man Wind turned into countless golden specks of light, merging into the Star Origin. The golden sphere flickered with a soft light, and the patterns on its surface became more complex, as if telling a new story.

White Night mounted the Wind Howling Silver Wolf and flew toward the depths of the universe. The Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out a long, drawn-out howl, the silver light around its body surging violently, opening a passage in the void leading to an unknown star region. At the other end of the passage was a brilliant starry sky, where countless strange stars twinkled, as if waiting for their arrival.

"Let's go!" White Night's voice echoed in the starry sky, carrying anticipation for the future.

He knew that his journey was not yet over. In the depths of the universe, there might be even stronger enemies, even more ancient secrets, and star regions that needed his protection. But he would not retreat, because his sword had long since merged with the laws of the universe.

His Dao was the eternal path of protection and exploration!

...

The moment they passed through the void passage, White Night and the Wind Howling Silver Wolf were shocked by the scene before them.

Unlike the brilliant galaxy of the Nine Heavens Realm and the deathly silence and desolation of the Demon Realm, this unknown star region presented a strange "two-color structure"—on the left was a "Life Star Belt" glowing with a pale blue color, where countless planets covered with green vegetation revolved slowly in the star belt, and the air was filled with life energy purer than the Star Origin; on the right was a deep purple "Void Turbulence Zone," where black fissures spread across the area like spider webs, and purple light streams containing Destruction Law occasionally gushed out from the fissures, even corroding the space into irregular holes.

"The laws here... are very strange." White Night expanded his Chaos Star Domain. The moment the cyan-black airflow touched the boundary of the two-color star region, abnormal fluctuations appeared—the life energy of the blue star belt actually actively merged into the domain, while the Destruction Law of the purple turbulence zone frantically impacted the domain barriers, and the two diametrically opposed laws formed an eerie balance within the domain. "It is neither the Star Law of the Nine Heavens Realm nor the magic law of the Demon Realm; it is more like a symbiosis of two extreme laws."

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf lowered its body, its wolf eyes flashing with a vigilant light. It could feel that several powerful auras were hidden in the purple turbulence zone, each aura not weaker than the early stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm, and containing energy highly compatible with the Destruction Law; they were clearly the native creatures of this star region.

The two flew along the edge of the Life Star Belt. The planets along the way were covered with plants they had never seen before. The leaves of these plants appeared semi-transparent blue, and golden liquid like Star Origin flowed in the veins of the leaves. When White Night approached, the leaves would automatically unfurl, releasing gentle life energy, as if welcoming outsiders.

"Awoo—" The Silver Wolf suddenly stopped and growled at a blue planet with a diameter of ten thousand miles ahead. The surface of this planet was covered with a huge crystal forest, and in the center of the forest stood a city built of transparent crystals. At the top of the city floated a blue crystal the size of a basketball, emitting energy of the same origin as the Life Star Belt; it was clearly the core of this planet.

White Night's Heavenly Heart Imprint penetrated the atmosphere and probed into the crystal city. A type of humanoid creature lived in the city; their skin was pale blue, they had two pairs of transparent wings on their backs, held staffs made of crystal in their hands, and were surrounded by pure Life Law—this was the "Crystal Clan," a native race that fed on life energy.
