249: Chapter 239 (Final Chapter)
Ji Yebai looked grave as he stared into the depths of the Universe with fear.
Where his gaze reached, a colossal entity was emerging.
Immense galaxies were merely ornaments on that massive figure.
It was his first time seeing such a gargantuan object.
A figure so vast it seemed it would burst the entire Universe, exceeding human imagination.
Sensing that terrifying, abnormal aura, Ji Yebai instantly knew who it was.
"The Fiend... has escaped!!!"
Ji Yebai's expression was incredibly grave.
Golden light surged from his body, turning into flames that burned the surrounding Devilish Qi.
As that colossal body emerged, waves of terrifying Devilish Qi scattered throughout the Universe.
The Devilish Qi clashed with the golden light of the Saints.
At this moment, starlight began to extinguish one by one.
Sky-filling energy, accompanied by unspeakable fear, was inhaled into the nostrils of that giant body.
With just one breath, it sucked dry the energy of entire seas of stars.
At this moment.
It was impossible to count how many intelligent lives had perished.
"Power of Yin and Yang..."
A low murmur sounded, and in the next moment, the figure that occupied the entire space of the Universe cast its gaze down.
In an instant.
Endless frenzy, havoc, and mindless slaughter surged forth, overwhelming Ji Yebai's mind.
Boom!!!
In a flash.
Ji Yebai felt as if he had fallen into Hell.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Infinite killing intent, tyranny, evil, and destruction flooded his heart.
That single glance directly clouded Ji Yebai's mind, causing him to sink forever, never to be reborn.
And just then.
A warm current suddenly exploded within Ji Yebai's mind, turning into a barrier that enveloped his mind and withstood that gaze.
"Little Friend Ji, wake up now!"
With a low shout, Ji Yebai's body jolted as he snapped awake.
Turning his head, he saw the Speaker of the Demon Suppression Division standing behind him, his body wreathed in flames.
Ji Yebai looked out and saw Saint-rank experts, each wreathed in powerful auras, constantly arriving in streaks of light.
"Little friend, take a short rest and wait for everyone to arrive!"
As soon as the Speaker finished speaking, he took a step forward and appeared at the end of the sea of stars.
Boundless flames soared into the sky, the crimson light even outshining the galaxy.
In an instant, the Speaker's body began to grow continuously.
A hundred meters, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters, a hundred thousand meters...
Finally, it even reached a million meters before stopping.
A terrifying aura emanated downward.
Directly blocking that vast Devilish Qi.
What caught Ji Yebai's attention was the long blade in the Speaker's hand.
Half black and half white, with divine light flowing through it.
That was the source of everything.
The demon slaying blade!!!
It was the greatest trump card of the Cosmic Union.
It was also an existence that shared the same Origin as the Great Barrier.
"You all recover. Today, we must risk our lives!"
The Speaker's voice echoed throughout the entire Universe.
Streaks of light cut through the dark night as countless Saints gathered.
In an instant, the sky-filling streaks of light transformed into a city wall.
No one spoke.
Everyone silently watched the Speaker ahead as he brandished his blade.
Yes.
Brandishing the blade.
Brandishing the blade toward that colossal Fiend.
Striking before the Fiend could fully emerge.
The Speaker was the top combat power of the Cosmic Union.
Holding the demon slaying blade infused with endless Divine Will, a single strike was terrifyingly powerful.
With a tearing sound, the entire sea of stars was instantly split by a massive rift.
One strike to split.
The Universe split.
The galaxy split.
The sea of stars split.
At this moment, losses no longer mattered.
Even if the Universe were to be destroyed because of it, the Speaker had to swing this blade.
If he couldn't interrupt it, everyone would die.
Boom!!!
The massive Saber Qi, wreathed in unparalleled red, black, and white colors, slammed into the emerging colossal figure.
Heaven and earth lost their color, and the Universe began to collapse.
In this instant, one-tenth of the Universe turned to dust.
Yet this terrifying strike made everyone who was still alive tremble with fear.
Such a terrifying blow, an attack that would kill even a Saint on contact, only managed to carve a huge wound on the chest of that colossal entity.
It couldn't even cut through the figure.
Seeing this, the Speaker fell silent.
After a moment, his massive body suddenly shrank.
He transformed into a rainbow of light and instantly appeared beside Ji Yebai, leaving only the demon slaying blade to resist the Devilish Qi.
"Things have reached this point; what should we do!?"
The Speaker of Alliance Law Enforcement asked in a cold voice.
Over twenty thousand Saints from the Cosmic Union were now present.
"Wasn't this upheaval known long ago!?"
Purple light surged from the Chairman of the Cosmic Union as he stared at the Fiend and said solemnly, "This was calculated over three hundred years ago. What's there to discuss? Just follow the prophecy!"
The prophecy of the Fiend destroying the world had always existed, and the Cosmic Union had never given up on finding a solution.
Such mystical things as prophecies had never ceased.
Hundreds of years ago, the prophecy of the Fiend's descent was unclear.
They only knew it would come, but not how or in what way.
Back then, they couldn't even find a shred of hope.
In the prophecy, everyone would die.
The entire Universe would fall into silence.
But this situation changed three hundred years ago.
The prophecy became clear.
After sacrificing a Saint of the Prophecy Path, the Cosmic Union grasped the general circumstances of the Fiend's appearance and, more fortunately, saw a glimmer of hope.
"Don't hesitate anymore, start! Otherwise, when the Fiend fully emerges, everyone will die, and even the Universe will be destroyed."
"So be it. We're going to die anyway; we might as well die for this grand era."
After a moment of silence, the Speaker sighed softly.
The next moment, he looked at Ji Yebai.
Not just him, but even the Chairman and the Speaker of the Law Enforcement Hall all looked at him.
The Cosmic Union had nine major halls, with nine Speakers and one Chairman.
And these ten individuals all had cultivation bases where the Laws were 100% imprinted.
Only such strength could suppress the Universe.
"Little friend, please save this Universe!!!"
The Speaker of the Demon Suppression Division, standing beside Ji Yebai, spoke in a low voice.
As the voice carried, everyone turned their eyes toward Ji Yebai.
This left Ji Yebai stunned.
"Me!?"
Ji Yebai was dumbfounded.
"Is it because of the Power of Yin and Yang!?"
Ji Yebai replied with a frown.
Although he was confident, he was not conceited.
His small amount of the Power of Yin and Yang was far too little.
This big fellow in front of him was simply not something he could handle.
Looking at Ji Yebai's expression, the Speaker smiled slightly.
"It is, and it isn't."
While Ji Yebai was confused, the Speaker spoke again.
"Your strength is still thin, little friend, and you cannot withstand such a catastrophe alone. But we are all here now, and naturally, we won't let you face it by yourself."
As the Speaker spoke, he pointed his finger, and a streak of light appeared.
"This is a secret technique that must be activated by a Saint-rank physical body to accommodate everything and reach the ultimate sublimation!"
The light entered Ji Yebai's mind.
Suddenly, a surge of information appeared.
The moment he saw this information, Ji Yebai's eyes widened.
"This..."
Ji Yebai looked at the Speaker in shock.
This secret technique was actually a top-tier Cultivation Technique for refining Laws.
Of course, if it were just about refining Laws, Ji Yebai wouldn't be so shocked.
What truly shocked him was the method the Speaker proposed.
With Ji Yebai activating the secret technique as the foundation, over twenty thousand Saints would all merge into his body.
Every Saint was an embodiment of a Law.
If a Saint were willing, Ji Yebai could instantly refine a Law, greatly increasing his strength.
Rumble!!!
The Universe shook.
Sheets of Devilish Qi fell, and the light of the Saints burned even more fiercely.
The Fiend's figure solidified again, about to emerge completely.
The terrifying Devilish Qi weighed down on the entire Universe, making it roar.
"Don't delay any longer, quickly activate the secret technique!!!"
This turn of events shocked everyone.
The Chairman of the Cosmic Union roared, waving his hand to scatter sky-filling golden light that entered the minds of all the Saints.
In an instant, all the Saints knew about the secret technique plan.
Saints used Laws as a foundation to condense their illusory bodies.
This was the basis upon which they could be refined.
"Little friend, if you don't start now, then when!?"
A low shout from the Speaker instantly brought Ji Yebai back to his senses.
He scanned the area, looking at the twenty thousand-plus Saints; everyone's gaze was focused on him.
Those gazes held attachment, reluctance, unwillingness, anger, and even hatred, but they gradually all turned into acceptance.
"Fine!!!"
Ji Yebai took a deep breath, suppressed the trepidation in his heart, and suddenly roared: "Everyone, please assist me!!!"
Boom!!!
Spiritual Qi rioted!
In an instant, Ji Yebai's body jolted, and his flesh and acupoints burst open.
"I'll go first!!!"
The Chairman shouted.
Light and shadow erupted from his body as purple light filled the air.
"I shall enter your sea of consciousness and grant you the Spirit Law!!!"
In an instant, he turned into a streak of light and dove directly into Ji Yebai's mind.
In a flash.
Infinite Spirit Law information flooded his mind.
Ji Yebai instantly felt as if he had studied the Spirit Law for thousands of years.
He himself.
Had become a veteran.
"Spirit clears the path to stabilize your Divine Soul. Next, I shall enter your heart fire and ignite your organs!!!"
Boom!!!
A streak of flaming light appeared, and Ji Yebai saw from the corner of his eye the Speaker instantly sink into his body, turning into a flame that merged directly into his heart.
This Speaker, whom he had met before, was now merging with him.
But before Ji Yebai could feel any sorrow, four explosive shouts rang out.
"...Granting you the Water Law!"
"...Granting you the Earth Law!"
"...Granting you the Metal Law!"
"...Granting you the Wood Law!"
In an instant.
Ji Yebai felt his five organs become harmonious as unparalleled energy erupted.
Even more so, billions upon billions of pieces of information emerged in an instant.
It was the Five Elements Law he had studied for many years.
And at this moment.
His original comprehension of just over 20% began to grow rapidly.
30%,
50%,
70%,
90%,
...
Turning into Laws and actively merging into Ji Yebai's body meant giving up their own lives and handing over the Laws they had cultivated for many years to someone else.
But at this moment, these top figures in high positions didn't hesitate at all, directly erupting their Laws to merge into Ji Yebai's body.
Their resolute will thundered in everyone's minds, uniting the twenty thousand-plus Saints as one.
The remaining four Speakers laughed freely: "Everyone, let's go!!!"
With those words, they suddenly turned into streaks of light and entered the acupoints of Ji Yebai's body.
Buzz!!!
In an instant, the ten major Laws intertwined, and a faint pressure appeared. This pressure was just barely able to withstand the descent of the Devilish Qi.
Unfortunately, the pressure was still weak.
Sensing this pressure, the twenty thousand-plus Saints jolted slightly. They looked at each other, smiled naturally, and turned into streaks of light that surged forward.
In an instant.
Streaks of light filled the sky.
It was like an endless meteor shower.
Ji Yebai's heart trembled violently as he caught a glimpse of this scene.
He almost couldn't maintain his sense of self.
However, in the next moment, sky-filling information flooded in, infinite and endless, as if all the information generated by the entire Universe was being stuffed into his head in an instant.
He had no time for anything else.
Everything went exactly according to the Speakers' plan: first, strengthen Ji Yebai's Divine Soul, then reach Perfection in the Five Elements Law to build a solid foundation, and finally accommodate everyone's Laws.
"There are 129,600 acupoints in the human body. Over twenty thousand Saints only fill twenty thousand-plus acupoints. It's not enough..."
Quietly, a figure walked up to Ji Yebai.
Ji Yebai, lost in the flow of information, didn't notice.
The newcomer was the Secretary-General.
He had intentionally stayed until the end.
Glancing at the Fiend about to emerge on the horizon, the Secretary-General waved his hand, and dozens of spatial rings appeared.
With a thought.
They all shattered.
In the next moment.
Streaks of light appeared one after another.
They were actually dense and infinite Sacred Artifacts.
"The essence of the entire Universe over countless years has barely managed to gather this number. I hope you don't fail our expectations and can win a place for this Universe to reside."
With that, the Secretary-General's surrounding light and flames surged, directly driving the eighty thousand-plus Sacred Artifacts into Ji Yebai's empty acupoints.
Then, he himself directly entered an acupoint, filling it in an instant.
Not long after.
Ji Yebai woke up.
"Ah!!!"
Ji Yebai roared.
He felt like his whole body was about to explode.
Not just from the power, but also his heart.
When all the Laws filled his acupoints and he mastered them all.
An unspeakable realization surfaced in his heart.
Boundless light erupted from him, sweeping through the Universe.
Infinite white light illuminated the entire Universe, and the Devilish Qi vanished in an instant.
Wherever the radiance reached, the Devilish Qi ceased to exist.
Like the rising sun melting snow.
Clad in white light, Ji Yebai became the only radiance in the Universe, a white hole emitting energy that broke through and pierced all obstructing Devilish Qi.
Rumble!!!
The Universe resonated.
The collapse of heaven was violent.
A boundless, pitch-black figure slowly stood up.
He was so large that heaven and earth could not contain him.
His head touched the sky, and his feet trod on the earth.
As he slowly rose, the entire Universe began to deform, like a water bag being stretched open.
"It began with me, and it shall end with me!!!"
Suddenly, a roar rang out.
From within the sky-piercing white light, a giant hand suddenly reached out.
The demon slaying blade suspended in the distance flashed with divine light and instantly appeared in the giant hand.
In the next moment, its size skyrocketed.
"Reverse the Innate, and re-evolve Chaos!!!"
The demon slaying blade swept down.
Accompanied by a mysterious charm, it struck with the power to create heaven and earth.
With one strike, the Five Elements ceased to exist, and Yin and Yang were no more.
Everything merged into one, returning to Chaos.
Boom!!!
The Universe disintegrated.
The entire Universe shattered into pieces in an instant.
Heaven and earth lost their color, sinking into silence.
...
Within the shattered Universe.
Eyes slowly opened.
Boundless nothingness; nothing remained.
Chaos.
Chaos.
Chaos.
Everything in sight was Chaos.
Such desolation made one's heart tremble.
The eyes remained silent.
He sat blankly in the nothingness, day after day.
No time, no space; within Chaos, there wasn't even up or down.
He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps a day, a year, or an eon.
One day.
He suddenly moved.
As if he had thought of something.
He abruptly stood up.
He muttered to himself, murmuring incessantly.
Finally, he laughed suddenly and held out his hand.
The sky-filling Chaos converged.
His palm was like a black hole, drawing in infinite Chaos energy, condensing and compressing it, finally turning it into a point of infinite energy.
He smiled gently at the tiny point.
"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!!!"
Boom!
The energy point exploded.
White light filled the air, and time rippled.
The vast river of time emerged, and the Universe restarted.
It was still that Universe, still that Milky Way.
Seeing this, he laughed heartily.
His Divine Soul took a leap, plunging into the newborn Universe, leaving his body standing still.
Thoughts flickered, and mental shadows passed.
Civilizations and figures emerged from his Divine Soul.
The Divine Soul exploded, bursting with billions of rays of light, and billions of figures appeared along with them.
In this way, the Divine Soul erupted again and again, and figures appeared one after another.
Using the Divine Soul's Origin to recreate living beings.
Finally, the Divine Soul dissolved, turning into countless illusory lines imprinted within the Universe.
The Universe became lively once again.
Constantly absorbing Chaos power and continuously expanding.
Until one day, the expanding Universe incorporated that body within the Chaos into itself.
The body was undying, immortal and eternal.
