338: Chapter 338: A Reversal of Extremes!
Li Juexin laughed wildly, exchanging a glance with Bi Lin. No hesitation remained in their eyes, only the madness of mutual destruction and a strange touch of tenderness.
The essence blood and immortal essence within Li Juexin's body surged frantically into the dark purple demonic heart in his hand, which was pulsing more and more violently.
Bi Lin did not hesitate either. She bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of her natal essence blood, while simultaneously pouring the immortal essence she had cultivated for ten thousand years into the demonic heart without reservation.
"Bi Lin, you..." Li Juexin looked at his Dao Companion, whose aura had instantly withered and whose face had dimmed significantly, a flicker of complexity crossing his eyes.
"Juexin," Bi Lin gripped his hand tightly, her green eyes exceptionally bright. "We have been husband and wife, cultivating together for ten thousand years. Today... we shall go to the Yellow Springs together. In the next life... let us continue our bond."
These words, spoken here and now amidst the soaring devilish light and the shattering earth, sounded exceptionally eerie and mournful.
On a distant lonely peak, Su Mo shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a playful sigh. "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pair of ill-fated lovebirds."
"Awaken! Supreme Demon Venerable! With our Blood Soul as a guide, descend upon this world once more!"
Using the last of his strength, Li Juexin roared as he violently threw the demonic heart—now a solid mass of dark purple light—downwards!
The moment the demonic heart touched the ground, there was no sound, as if it had been swallowed by an invisible, giant mouth.
Immediately after—
Rumble—!!!!
The heavens collapsed and the earth split!
Countless cracks, thousands of feet wide, spread frantically. Blinding purple devilish light roared out from the fissures, dyeing the sky a heart-stopping shade of purple-black!
An irresistible aura of heaviness and violence gradually awakened!
"This aura..." From deep within Fu Tianming's brow, the Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable let out a soft exclamation of surprise. "Why is this kid here?"
"Do you see it now?! Fu Tianming!" Li Juexin screamed weakly yet excitedly, pointing at the expanding abyss. "This is the power of a Taiyi! Today, no one shall live!"
The first thing to break through the ground was a hand.
A hand with skin of a strange dark gold, long fingers, and fingernails as clear as purple crystal, yet wrapped in dense purple-black Heavenly Devilish Qi.
The palm was incredibly massive; the fingertips alone were comparable to mountain peaks.
Next came another palm, also a mix of dark gold and purple-black.
Then, a head slowly rose from the churning Devilish Qi.
The head was equally massive, its skin a dull gold covered in intricate, ancient, and sinister black demonic patterns that wriggled slowly as if they were alive.
Most striking was his brow, where a tightly closed vertical slit existed, the edges of the slit flowing with dark purple light.
As the head fully emerged, the neck, shoulders... the upper body of this demonic figure gradually became visible.
His Three Eyes slowly opened.
Two eyes were a pure, deep purple, and the vertical mark on his brow trembled slightly. Although it had not opened, it emitted a wave that made everyone's Soul feel a stinging pain.
Seeing the Devil Head's full appearance, a strange look flashed in Su Mo's eyes.
"This aura... doesn't seem like a local. Instead, it seems like a creature from the Heavenly Demon Realm. The chaotic and violent Devilish Qi contains immortal essence. It's a bit like a Fallen Immortal, but not quite. Perhaps it should be called a Fallen Demon instead."
The awakened Fallen Demon opened its mouth and took a light breath toward the remaining Inverse Immortal Alliance Cultivators who were fleeing in terror across the shattered earth below.
In an instant, centered on the Fallen Demon's giant mouth, an indescribable vortex of terrifying suction appeared out of thin air!
"Ah—!!"
"No—!"
"Alliance Leader, save...!"
Shrill, extremely brief screams rose one after another, only to be cut off by an invisible force the moment they began.
Thousands, even tens of thousands of Cultivators, with cultivations ranging from True Immortal to Profound Immortal, saw their bodies suddenly stiffen.
From their seven orifices—eyes, ears, mouth, and nose—dense, pure immortal essence mixed with the Divine Soul Origin shimmering with the light of the Soul surged uncontrollably out of their bodies, rushing toward the Fallen Demon's slightly open mouth!
Their Physical Bodies withered and weathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally turning into piles of ash devoid of all spirituality and scattering with the wind.
In just a single breath, within a radius of thousands of miles, all living beings were wiped out except for those at the Golden Immortal level or above!
The dense, inseparable life essence and Soul power were swallowed by the Fallen Demon. His dull gold skin seemed to brighten slightly, and the purple-black Devilish Qi billowing around him became even more turbulent.
He smacked his lips slightly, a hint of lingering desire showing in his pure purple eyes.
Then, that cold and lifeless gaze slowly turned, landing on Fu Tianming and the others in the field.
Feeling that gaze lock onto him, Li Juexin felt no fear. Instead, a more morbid ecstasy and a sense of vengeful pleasure surged onto his face. He gripped Bi Lin's hand tightly and laughed hoarsely:
"Haha... Do you see it?! This is the power of a Taiyi! What is the point of struggling like ants?! All of you, die! All of you, be buried with my son!!"
Just as the Fallen Demon seemed to take an interest in these main courses, lowering its head slightly with light swirling in its purple eyes, ready to open its mouth again...
A low voice suddenly came clearly from Fu Tianming's brow:
"Three Eyes... long time no see."
The Fallen Demon, about to make a move, saw its massive body suddenly shudder!
In those pure purple eyes, obvious shock, bewilderment, and a sense of unbelievable familiarity surfaced.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze focusing on Fu Tianming's brow as if it were a physical object, seemingly trying to pierce through flesh and bone to see the source of that voice.
At the same time, a point of light lit up at Fu Tianming's brow, and then, a slightly illusory figure slowly emerged.
"Brother... Dayu?"
The dark gold Fallen Demon, or Three Eyes, let out a hesitant sound from its throat.
The emotions contained in that voice were complex: shock, reminiscence, and even a hint of reliance.
The crazed joy on Li Juexin's face instantly froze, as if encased in ice.
He widened his eyes, looking at the Immortal Venerable phantom emerging from Fu Tianming's brow, then at the terrifying Fallen Demon who seemed lost in some memory and daze. His mouth opened and closed, but he found he couldn't utter a single word.
Bi Lin also froze in place, her resolve for mutual destruction replaced by immense bewilderment.
In the distance, Su Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Another reversal?!
