Chapter 813 - 304: The Empress’s Confession! Chen Mo, I Miss You! (Part 2)
In the darkness, a pair of jade-like green eyes emerged, gazing down at them indifferently like a Heavenly God.
"After all this time, it turns out what you cultivate is the Chaos Origin?"
"Nothing more than that."
Boom—
The space in sight was filled with web-like cracks, faint gleams emerging from them, and a desolate, extinguishing aura spread out.
As if something terrifying was about to burst forth!
"How is this possible?!"
Zhu Wujiang couldn’t believe it.
She had clearly stripped away the other’s emotions and polluted their thoughts with the Chaos Law, supposedly leaving them lost in the void!
But in just a moment, they found themselves again?!
This couldn’t be explained merely by a resolute Dao Heart...
It’s simply incredible!
What exactly happened?
"Do you think such petty tricks can destroy my Dao Heart?" The green eyes flickered with light, speaking softly, "The bond between us is far deeper than you imagine."
Zhu Wujiang asked in confusion, "You? Bond? What do you mean..."
"I’m eager to return, so let’s end this here."
With Yu Youhan’s cold voice, the terrifying object finally revealed its full appearance.
At the center was an immensely deep black sphere, surrounded by twisted, colorful light bands, emitting a dead silent aura. Just a glance seemed to freeze one’s Divine Soul!
Zhu Wujiang’s face grew exceedingly solemn, yet she whispered ancient spells.
Below, Red Blood Peak rotated with a rumble, and dazzling red light shot from the summit, enveloping her.
It turned out this mountain range had long been refined into a Magic Artifact!
As the red light permeated every inch of skin, blood-red scales spread across her body, her eyes turned to vertical pupils, a single horn grew on her forehead, and her figure rose swiftly, almost levelling with the mountain peak!
Between the scales, magma flowed, and her breath carried fierce flames!
"Is this your true form?"
"No, it seems incomplete..."
Yu Youhan raised an eyebrow, "It seems you hide quite a few secrets too... but it’s irrelevant, you’re doomed to die."
Dao Fall grew rapidly in size, stretching beyond eyesight, nearly covering the entire sky!
Under its enormous gravitational pull, all the Demon Clan were uncontrollably lifted off the ground, even the mountain trembled. Without the Array’s support, it would soon be devoured!
Even so, it likely won’t hold for long!
"Roar—"
Zhu Wujiang let out a low growl, wielding the Red Scale Saber, leaping towards it!
...
...
Tianlan Mountain.
Chen Mo stood in the courtyard, gazing at the surging sea of clouds with furrowed brows.
He knew Ji Hongxiu was strong, but still felt uncertain, as the strength and origin of the Demon Lord remained a mystery, no one knew what Realm she had reached.
"Earlier, the Daoist Venerable mentioned the Empress should have gone to the Desolate Domain..."
"No wonder I haven’t seen her these past few days, so she switched tactics?"
At that moment, Chen Mo faintly sensed something.
His mind sank into the Spirit Platform, seeing the Seven Dragon Constellations flickering uncertainly, azure dust swirling, and Dao Power stirring restlessly within.
"Hmm? What’s going on?"
His Dao Power came from the Empress, and now suddenly stirring, it was likely related to her...
Could something have gone wrong?
Thinking this, the feeling of unease grew stronger.
In the past, with Hong Xiu’s help, he entered the Dao Domain and established a connection with the Empress’s Spiritual Body. To learn of the Empress’s situation, he first had to enter the Dao Domain.
Yet he hadn’t aligned with the Dao, and didn’t even know where the Dao Domain’s door opened...
Swoosh—
Just then, the wind howled.
Ji Hongxiu’s figure descended from the sky.
She appeared unharmed, though her complexion was slightly pale and her breath a bit uneven.
"It’s over?" Chen Mo quickly stood up, walking briskly to her, "How is the situation? Are you hurt?"
Seeing his concerned demeanor, Ji Hongxiu’s expression softened a bit, she shook her head and said, "It was just a manifestation, can’t hurt me, it’s just unlucky timing, with the Dao Pattern acting up..."
Chen Mo naturally understood the severity of that cost, he said, "Take it easy, I’ll use Dragon Qi to help suppress it later."
Thinking of the reckless act last time, Ji Hongxiu couldn’t help but blush, yet still gently nodded, "Alright."
"What about the Demon Lord?" Chen Mo asked.
"I cut her down."
Ji Hongxiu’s brows furrowed slightly, hesitating, "But come to think of it, I couldn’t sense any Cause and Effect from her at all, quite odd, could she have burst from a stone..."
This action was planned in advance.
Last time, Yu Youhan noticed the opponent was extremely adept at the art of external manifestations during her battle with the Demon Lord.
To truly uproot her, it was decided to join forces with Ji Hongxiu.
According to the original plan, upon detecting movements of the Demon Clan, Yu Youhan would go alone to the Desolate Domain, using the threat of annihilation to force the true Demon Lord to reveal herself.
Meanwhile, Ji Hongxiu had two tasks.
First, to protect Chen Mo’s safety, and second, to trace the Cause and Effect, confirming the true Demon Lord was slain.
Though the plan wasn’t flawless, it was highly feasible. But as luck would have it, on the day of the grand ritual, the Dao Pattern suddenly acted up, and she barely suppressed it by burning her essence.
If not for Chen Mo buying enough time, an accident might have truly occurred.
"By the timeline, Yu Youhan’s side should be wrapping up too..."
"Oh, there’s one more thing I wanted to trouble the Daoist Venerable with."
"Speak."
"Can you send me into the Dao Domain?"
"Hmm?"
Ji Hongxiu was taken aback, "What do you want to do in the Dao Domain?"
Chen Mo opened his palm, a spiral of azure dust swirling in his palm, Ji Hongxiu’s pupils contracted in surprise, "Returning Ruins?! You’ve comprehended the Returning Ruins Origin?!"
