Chapter 578: Battle of the Rift
Yun Yao's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the space-time rift. It was a chaotic darkness, like an endless abyss, emitting a frightening breath. Chu Mochen, who was beside her, held the Dragon Roar Sword, standing tall like a pine tree. The cold light on the sword and the determination in his eyes reflected each other. The two knew that they would face unprecedented difficulties and obstacles, which not only concerned their own life and death, but also the fate of the two worlds.
"Yun Yao, we must win this battle." Chu Mochen turned his head and fixed his eyes deeply on Yun Yao. His voice was low but firm, echoing in her ears like a huge bell.
Yun Yao nodded slightly, holding the newly fused core component tightly in her hand. It exuded a faint and mysterious light, as if it contained the most powerful force in the universe, and seemed to be whispering about the vicissitudes of the past. "I know, for everyone, and for our persistence along the way." Her eyes were full of determination, and past memories surged in her mind like a tide. From the ordinary but dream-filled laboratory on Earth to the countless tests of life and death, love and hate experienced in the world of cultivation, every step was as deep as a brand, and she could not retreat.
At this moment, a sinister laugh came out of the crack like a cold wind, which instantly alerted the two. The leader of the Fallen Church appeared with a group of believers. He was wearing a black robe with strange dark red runes embroidered on it. The runes twisted and flickered like living things, exuding a strong evil aura. His face was cold, his eyes were narrow and deep, and his dark eyes were filled with endless greed and madness, as if everything in the world was just an ant in his eyes and could be swallowed.
"Yun Yao, do you think that the fusion core can control time and space?" The voice of the sect leader seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, icy and chilling, with a hint of mocking laughter. Behind him, countless phantoms of swallowed worlds slowly emerged. Those worlds were originally full of vitality, but now they have become desolate and dead under the erosion of the dark power. The broken continents, dried up oceans, and dissipated spiritual energy all tell of the pain of being swallowed. "Back then, your father was killed by the Administration because he tried to create a new world! Now, you will follow in his footsteps."
Yun Yao felt a pain in her heart, and her father's figure became clearer in her memory. She remembered the few words her mother left behind, and the fragments of truth that she pieced together from the information of the Spacetime Administration Bureau. She knew her father's ambition and tragedy. But at this moment, the anger in her heart was completely ignited, and the core component in her hand glowed brightly, as if responding to her grief and anger. "You evildoer, today is the day of your destruction!"
Chu Mochen's Dragon Roar Sword seemed to sense the master's fighting spirit, and suddenly made a clear sound, and the runes on the sword accelerated, shining brightly. At this moment, the inheritance of the Untreasured Sword Cultivator was fully awakened in his body like a volcanic eruption, and a majestic and pure power rushed along his meridians to the sword body, and the sword condensed into twin sword patterns of "Heavenly Way" and "Human Way", one gold and one silver, shining against each other, as if containing the most fair judgment and the most compassionate protection between heaven and earth.
"Hmph, how shameless!" The leader of the Fallen Angel Cult snorted coldly and quickly formed seals with his hands. The dark shadow behind him roared and pounced forward, transforming into black chains with the power to corrode everything, and entangled towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao's eyes condensed, and the core component in her hand burst into colorful light. The data spiritual root was instantly activated, turning into a stream of smart data, circling around her, forming a defensive light curtain. Each data stream seemed to contain endless wisdom, accurately resisting the invasion of the black chain. At the same time, she muttered something, and a series of ancient spells and modern codes intertwined and attacked the Fallen Angels. The spiritual power fluctuations caused by the spells were like surging waves, and the codes were like sharp arrows hidden in the dark, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against them.
Chu Mochen flashed and rushed into the enemy camp like a ghost. As the Dragon Roar Sword was swung, the sword energy was everywhere. Wherever it went, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. The "Heavenly Way" sword pattern gave the sword energy a fair and strict power. Any fallen cultist touched by the sword energy would be instantly branded with a golden mark of punishment, and their cultivation would drop sharply as if they were sealed; the "Humanity" sword pattern carried a sense of compassion. While hurting the enemy, it protected those ordinary cultists whose minds were confused by the dark power and gave them a glimmer of clarity.
Seeing Chu Mochen going deep into the cave alone, Yun Yao was extremely worried. She changed the spell in her hand, and the data root separated a part of the data flow, which snaked towards Chu Mochen like a spirit snake, forming a layer of auxiliary shield around him. On the shield, the code flickered and jumped, constantly analyzing the enemy's attack moves, providing early warning for Chu Mochen.
"Want to save him? That's not that easy!" Seeing this, the leader of the Fallen Cult had a fierce look in his eyes and took out an evil weapon in his hand - the Soul Devouring Banner. On the banner, countless wronged souls screamed miserably and rushed towards Yun Yao with their fangs and claws bared. These wronged souls were all creatures killed by the Fallen Cult. At this moment, driven by the evil power, their full of resentment turned into actual attacks.
Yun Yao's face was solemn, knowing the power of the Soul Devouring Banner. She took a deep breath and increased the power of the core components again. The data spirit root worked frantically, constructing a complex code matrix in front of her. The matrix contained the power of purification and salvation. Once the wronged souls approached, they were enveloped by the soft light, and the resentment in their eyes gradually dissipated, turning into tiny dots of light and blending into the matrix.
"Hmph, you have some skills!" The sect leader was furious and yanked the Soul-Devouring Banner with both hands. The runes on the banner pole shone brightly and a black tornado whizzed out from the bottom of the banner, carrying a large amount of dark fragments and sharp evil power, sweeping towards Yun Yao.
Chu Mochen sensed Yun Yao's danger and was extremely anxious. He ignored his own safety and forcibly broke through the siege of several believers, turning back like lightning. The Wujie Sword drew a dazzling arc in the air and collided head-on with the tornado. The "Heavenly Way" sword pattern released a brilliant golden light, trying to dispel the darkness; the "Human Way" sword pattern emitted a soft silver light, soothing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disturbed by the evil force. Under the combined force of the two sword patterns, the momentum of the tornado was finally curbed and slowly dissipated.
Yun Yao was moved, and looked at Chu Mochen. Their eyes were full of trust and tacit understanding. At this moment, the space-time storm beside them became more violent, as if it was completely enraged by the battle between good and evil. The lightning in the storm was like a dragon, and the thunder was deafening. Every lightning strike left a bottomless gully on the ground.
"This storm may be useful to us!" Yun Yao suddenly had an idea, and a gleam of intelligence flashed in her eyes. She and Chu Mochen were in tune with each other, and they took action at the same time without saying anything.
Yun Yao extended her data spiritual root into the storm, and used the precise control of the code to guide the direction of the lightning, making it strike towards the members of the Fallen Angel Cult. Each guided lightning carried the spiritual power and data power injected by Yun Yao, doubling its power. Wherever the lightning went, the Fallen Angel Cult members were terrified and fled in all directions, but many were still hit and turned into ashes in an instant.
Chu Mochen took advantage of the enemy's panic and used his sword to display the peerless swordsmanship of the Undisaster Sword Cultivator. His figure seemed to be integrated with the sword, and he shuttled freely in the air. Every swing of the sword carried the momentum of destroying the world. The "Heavenly Way" sword pattern locked the masters of the Fallen Heaven Cult, making their evil magic fail frequently under the power of justice; the "Human Way" sword pattern protected Yun Yao and defended her from the sneak attacks of those who slipped through the net.
With the close cooperation of the two, the members of the Fallen Cult gradually lost and suffered heavy casualties. But how could the leader of the Fallen Cult easily admit defeat? A flash of madness flashed in his eyes, and he bit his tongue hard, spurting out a mouthful of blood on the Soul Devouring Banner. The banner instantly expanded several times, and the evil aura it exuded made the surrounding space seem distorted.
"You all must die today!" The sect master roared, and drove the Soul Devouring Banner to smash Yun Yao and Chu Mochen fiercely. Wherever the banner passed, black cracks were torn in the space, and the whispers of the devil could be heard faintly in the cracks.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew the power of this attack and dared not slack off. They stood side by side, gathering all their strength. Yun Yao's core component was suspended above their heads, emitting unprecedented light, and the data spiritual root and spiritual power blended together to form an indestructible shield; Chu Mochen's Wujie Sword stood in front of him, and the twin sword patterns shone brightly, echoing with the shield to form a perfect defense system.
The Soul Devouring Banner smashed heavily on the defense, making a deafening sound. For a moment, light and darkness collided violently, and the overflowing energy waves spread in all directions like a tsunami. Wherever it went, mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and time and space seemed to fall into endless chaos.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gritted their teeth and held on. Their clothes were already torn and bloodstained, but the determination in their eyes never wavered.
"Yun Yao, we will definitely win!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, his voice penetrating through layers of energy waves and reaching Yun Yao's ears.
"Well, I will never give up!" Yun Yao responded, the spells in his hands kept changing, constantly strengthening his defense.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, Yun Yao suddenly realized that there was a subtle resonance between the core component and the space-time storm. She was moved and followed this resonance, trying to mobilize more storm power.
In an instant, the space-time storm seemed to be summoned and gathered towards them frantically. The originally violent and disorderly storm, under Yun Yao's control, turned into an orderly and powerful force, like a galloping dragon, sweeping towards the Fallen Cult.
The leader of the Fallen Angel Cult widened his eyes in horror. He tried to resist with the Soul-Devouring Banner, but everything was in vain in the face of this attack that was a fusion of the power of the storm, Yun Yao, and Chu Mochen.
"No——" Following the sect leader's scream, all the members of the Fallen Angel Cult were completely swallowed up by the storm and disappeared without a trace.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies slowly relaxed. They looked at each other's embarrassed but resolute faces and smiled at each other.
"Let's go to the Administration." Yun Yao said softly, her voice was tired but also full of hope.
Chu Mochen nodded, held her hand, and the two of them stepped into the depths of the space-time rift hand in hand, continuing to move forward towards the unknown challenge...
