Chapter 884: Liu Yan'er's End: Obsession Becomes Devil
A thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the Demonic Realm's abyss. Yun Yao stood at the edge of a black cliff studded with spikes, her clothes rustling in the whistling demonic energy. At the bottom of the abyss, thick, inky fog swirled, occasionally piercing the darkness with crimson rays, as if countless eyes were peering from the shadows. Her palms felt slightly hot, a warning from the Chaos Dao Foundation as it sensed the encroaching demonic energy.
"I finally found you, Liu Yan'er," Yun Yao whispered softly, a wisp of chaotic spiritual energy condensing from her fingertips. Her gaze pierced through the dense demonic energy and locked onto the massive altar at the bottom of the abyss. At the center of the altar, a figure was entangled in countless chains, which glowed with an eerie purple light and pierced deeply into her body.
Liu Yan'er's hair had long since turned gray, her face twisted, her eyes filled with madness and resentment. A thick demonic aura swirled around her, making her look less than human. When she sensed Yun Yao's presence, she suddenly raised her head and let out a sharp roar, "Yun Yao! You're finally here! I've waited so long for this day!"
Yun Yao frowned. She could sense that Liu Yan'er's aura was completely out of control. The once proud genius of the Blood Demon Sect was now reduced to a puppet of demonic energy. "Liu Yan'er, let go of your obsession. You've gone astray. If you continue like this, you'll only end up in ruins."
"Let go of your obsession?" Liu Yan'er laughed wildly, her laughter filled with irony and despair. "Why have I come to this point? It's all because of you! You took away everything that should have belonged to me! Chu Mochen, my supreme cultivation, everyone's admiration... Why? Why do you have everything, but I have nothing!"
As Liu Yan'er roared, the demonic energy surrounding the altar suddenly surged, and countless black tentacles emerged from the mist, sweeping towards Yun Yao. Yun Yao's eyes glared, and with a wave of her hand, the chaotic spiritual energy transformed into a barrier, blocking all the tentacles. However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed something unusual—a mysterious mark flickered faintly in the depths of the altar behind Liu Yan'er.
It was a dark red mark, shaped like a twisted eye, emitting a terrifying pressure. Yun Yao was shocked. She had never seen such a strange mark before. Her intuition told her that this mark was inextricably linked to the divine realm.
"Is this... the mark of original sin from the divine realm?" Yun Yao muttered to herself, her Chaos Dao foundation vibrating violently within her, as if warning her of the dangers of this mark. Her gaze returned to Liu Yan'er, and a sudden surge of pity welled up in her heart. Perhaps Liu Yan'er was merely a pawn in the divine realm's conspiracy.
"Liu Yan'er, you've been used! There's something wrong with the demonic energy in you. Someone is controlling all this behind the scenes!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, trying to wake up the crazy Liu Yan'er.
However, Liu Yan'er refused to listen. Her eyes were filled with hatred. "So what if I'm being used? As long as I can kill you, I'll be willing to sacrifice my entire soul!" She formed hand seals, and the chains on the altar suddenly tightened, pulling her body high. Liu Yan'er's skin began to crack, and blood gushed out, merging into the surrounding demonic energy.
"Blood Demonic Art, Ultimate Sacrifice!" Liu Yan'er let out a shrill cry, and the entire abyss trembled. Her body began to rapidly expand, and demonic energy condensed around her into a huge demonic shadow, holding a giant axe emitting a faint glow in its hand.
Yun Yao's face was solemn. She knew this was Liu Yan'er's final act of madness. The Chaos Dao Foundation was fully operational within her body, and the surrounding space began to distort. Countless chaotic spiritual energy gathered in her hand, forming a long sword that shone with a rainbow of light. "I'm sorry, Liu Yan'er, I can only see you off."
The axe slashed down with devastating force. Yun Yao vanished in a flash. The next moment, she appeared above the demonic figure, swinging her sword. A burst of multicolored light collided with the axe. A violent energy surge swept across the abyss, and the black cliff began to crumble, sending rubble raining down.
Liu Yan'er controlled the demonic shadow to attack continuously, but every attack was easily neutralized by Yun Yao. Yun Yao's eyes were full of helplessness. She didn't want to kill Liu Yan'er, but now there was no turning back for Liu Yan'er.
"Chaos Purification!" Yun Yao suddenly shouted, piercing the demon's brow with her longsword. A burst of colorful light erupted, and the demon roared in pain before rapidly dissipating. Liu Yan'er's body plummeted from the air, landing heavily on the altar.
Yun Yao landed beside Liu Yan'er, looking at her former rival with a mixture of emotions. The madness on Liu Yan'er's face had vanished, replaced by a sense of relief and reassurance. "So... this is what death feels like..." she said weakly, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Yun Yao squatted down and said softly, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let your sacrifice be in vain."
Liu Yan'er forced a smile and said with her last bit of strength: "Actually... I've been tired for a long time... Thank you, Yun Yao..." Before she finished her words, her body turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.
Yun Yao stood up, her gaze once again fixed on the Mark of Original Sin deep within the altar. She knew this was only the beginning; the divine world's conspiracy had only just begun to surface. The Chaos Dao Foundation slowly circulated within her, and she could sense a powerful force watching her from the shadows.
At that moment, a violent tremor erupted from the depths of the abyss, and the Mark of Original Sin blazed with dazzling light. Yun Yao's heart rang with alarm, and just as she was about to leave, she saw a figure emerge from the light. It was a man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to discern his features.
"I didn't expect you to be able to kill Liu Yan'er." The black-robed man's voice was low and oppressive. "However, this is just a small test. Next, you will face a more powerful enemy."
Yun Yao gripped the sword tightly in her hand and looked at the black-robed man warily. "Who are you? What's your relationship with the God Realm?"
The man in black robe let out a sinister laugh: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have been involved in a conspiracy that can destroy the entire world. Enjoy the rest of the game, Yun Yao, we will see each other again soon." After saying that, the man in black robe turned into a black stream of light and disappeared.
Yun Yao stood still, her eyes determined. She knew the road ahead was filled with unknowns and dangers, but she would never retreat. Whether it was a conspiracy from the divine realm or a powerful enemy, she would face them one by one. Because she was Yun Yao, a person who defied fate and a guardian of the astral realm.
After leaving the Demonic Abyss, Yun Yao immediately contacted Chu Mochen. When she told Chu Mochen about the Mark of Original Sin and the black-robed man, Chu Mochen's face became very solemn.
"The mark of original sin from the divine realm has appeared in the world of cultivation. This is definitely not a good sign." Chu Mochen said, "It seems that we must speed up our cultivation."
Yun Yao nodded, a plan already in mind. "I plan to return to Earth and use its technology to unravel the secrets of the Mark of Original Sin. At the same time, I also need to establish a defense line on Earth to prevent an invasion from the divine realm."
Chu Mochen held Yun Yao's hand, his eyes gentle but firm: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you. But promise me that you must be careful."
Yun Yao smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I will. Besides, we have the support of the Star Realm Center and the power of the entire Star Realm. This time, we will definitely be able to break the conspiracy of the God Realm."
On the way back to Earth, Yun Yao pondered the black-robed figure's words. What was this conspiracy, so powerful it could destroy the entire world? What was the divine realm plotting? These questions swirled endlessly in her mind, yet she remained unanswered. But she knew time was running out; she had to uncover the truth quickly, or face disastrous consequences.
When Yun Yao returned to Earth, the members of the Xu Ling Office were busy and frantic. The beast swarms brought on by the resurgent spiritual energy were becoming more frequent, and mysterious events were also beginning to occur across the land. Yun Yao told everyone about the Mark of Original Sin, and their faces turned grave.
"Sister Su, what should we do?" Lu Ming asked, his eyes full of worry.
Yun Yao looked at everyone and said firmly, "We must establish a dedicated research team to utilize Earth's technology to analyze the secrets of the Mark of Original Sin. At the same time, we must strengthen our defenses and train more Awakeners. This time, the enemy we face is stronger than ever before, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulty we cannot overcome."
Under Yun Yao's leadership, the Xu Ling Office sprang into action. The research team began studying the Mark of Original Sin day and night, and the defense system was constantly being refined. Yun Yao herself directed various tasks while continuing her cultivation. She could sense that an unprecedented war was approaching, and she must be fully prepared.
Meanwhile, in a mysterious corner of the cultivation world, a black-robed figure stood before an ancient altar, a sinister smile on his face. "The game has officially begun. Yun Yao, let's see how long you can hold your own against this conspiracy." With that, he formed hand seals, and the runes on the altar lit up, sending a mysterious force flying towards the divine realm...
