Chapter 123 You must act on behalf of Heaven with your own heart!
When the old man's eerie figure appeared, when that aura mixed with death and decay swept over everything.
The intense battlefield came to a momentary standstill.
The attack of the Three Saints of Kunlun came to an abrupt halt, and all three of them shuddered.
"It's him!"
The Taoist priest, the monk, and the swordsman—three powerful figures who had once stood at the pinnacle of humanity—all wore expressions of disbelief and horror on their faces.
The Taoist's lips moved slightly, each word he uttered carrying a heavy weight: "It was him! The Immortal Venerable of Penglai, Xu Fu."
Upon hearing this, not only they, but also the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom watching the battle from afar via tactical screens, fell into a deathly silence.
Xu Fu!
This name, which only existed in ancient legends and fragments of historical records, actually appeared vividly before them in such a way.
"In his quest for immortality, he sought the legendary Penglai Island and the elixir of life, and then vanished without a trace."
The Taoist's words were filled with bitterness: "Everyone thought he had long since perished at sea, but unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he also turned into this inhuman monster."
The sword cultivator's body surged with sword intent, and an unprecedented sense of gravity weighed on his heart:
"Xu Fu's power has completely transcended common sense. It combines Taoist magic, demonic energy, and the laws of death, making it extremely bizarre."
"Especially that kind of death energy that can directly strip away life force, it's almost impossible to deal with. Now that he's been awakened, he's even more troublesome than an ordinary demon king."
Xu Fu's empty eye sockets slowly turned, looking down at the battlefield below, finally settling on the Three Sages of Kunlun.
He let out a dry, cold laugh, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
"So it's you three longest-living ants. Since you're here, let's all die together!"
He clearly still retained memories from hundreds of years ago, recognizing these younger generations from Kunlun Mountain.
But he felt no affection whatsoever for his former acquaintances, as he was a demon slave forcibly awakened by the Demon Emperor Kui Si.
His only mission was to kill all the humans in front of him.
boom!
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Fu raised his hand and waved.
A visible grayish-white wave of energy, like the overflowing Styx River, swept towards the ranks of the human powerhouses.
That was not a simple energy impact, but a manifestation of the pure law of death!
Wherever the shockwave passed, whether it was solid rock or surviving metal structures, they instantly lost all vitality and turned to ashes.
Even the light and air seemed to stagnate and decay in that area.
"Be careful! Don't come into contact with that deathly aura!"
The Taoist priest shouted loudly and wildly brandished his whisk.
Streams of pure yang energy transformed into a golden barrier, attempting to resist.
The monks chanted mantras, and the majestic Vajra image appeared, radiating Buddha's light and purifying evil spirits.
The sword cultivator went even further, unleashing a sword light that pierced the heavens and earth, soaring into the sky and slashing towards the gray-white wave of death.
However, a horrifying scene unfolded.
No matter what kind of power it was, it quickly dissolved the moment it came into contact with that deathly aura!
Xu Fu's power transcended their simple energy attributes; it was a crushing force at the level of laws!
It’s over.
A severely injured Demon Emperor has already brought the world to the brink of destruction, and now there is another Xu Fu with bizarre strength.
Humanity has no chance of winning.
If the Demon Emperor truly seizes the core of the world, this world will become fertile ground for demonic energy, and all living beings will fall into an abyss of no return.
The Taoist priest suddenly turned his head and exchanged a glance with the monk and the swordsman.
In an instant, the three reached a consensus.
Rather than let the core of the world fall into the hands of the Demon Emperor, we might as well take a gamble!
The Taoist priest flashed, breaking through the seal of death energy, and appeared beside Su Chen.
He took something out of his pocket; it was the core of the world.
The moment the core appeared, all the elements of the world cheered with joy.
"My lord! This is the core of the world! Please refine it as soon as possible! Only you can save this world!"
The Taoist priest solemnly handed the item to Su Chen, his hand trembling slightly, his face full of solemnity and entrustment.
In the distance, the Demon Emperor Kui Si, who was rapidly recovering from his injuries, suddenly narrowed his enormous demonic eyes upon seeing that thing!
"The core of the world!"
He let out a deafening roar and, disregarding his severe injuries, charged madly toward Su Chen.
Give it to me!
If he could get this, he wouldn't need to fight so troublesomely.
With just a single thought, one can completely transform this world into their own demonic realm!
"dream!"
Su Chen retaliated by throwing a chaotic sword light at them.
His gaze swept across the entire battlefield.
Lin Xue and Liu Yiyi are struggling against the monster. Even though Lin Xue has broken through, she can only maintain her strength.
The Three Saints of Kunlun and the SS-class mech pilots were forced into retreat by Xu Fu's eerie death pressure.
Externally, there are powerful figures from the demon realm eyeing them covetously; internally, there are various forces and reborn individuals eager to make their move; and who knows if even more terrifying beings are lurking in the shadows.
The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed.
He must immediately seize control of the world's core power; he needs even greater power to end all of this!
"My lord! The three of us will buy you a moment; please complete the refining process as soon as possible!"
The Three Sages of Kunlun roared and stopped fighting Xu Fu. Instead, they turned around and gathered all their strength to meet the Demon Emperor Kui Si, who was charging towards them recklessly.
They unleashed their most powerful and secretive moves, determined to buy Su Chen this precious time.
Almost simultaneously, a thought entered Su Chen's mind—the refining method left behind by the sword cultivator.
"The core of the world, also known as the seal of the world, bears the weight of an entire realm."
"To refine it is to breathe the same air as this world and share its fate."
"You must interpret Heaven's will with your own."
Without further hesitation, Su Chen sat down cross-legged and pressed the warm, smooth stone seal against his brow.
His mind was instantly and completely absorbed in that small mark.
boom!
In an instant, Su Chen's consciousness was stretched and elevated infinitely.
He seemed to have become the world itself.
etc.
I could feel the pulse of the earth beneath my feet; every slight movement of the earth's crust was crystal clear.
etc.
I could feel the breath of the ocean thousands of miles away, and every rise and fall of the tide felt like my own heartbeat.
etc.
I heard the whisper of the wind sweeping across the mountaintop, and the murmur of the leaves deep in the forest.
And...the most primal thoughts in the hearts of countless living beings.
An unimaginable torrent of emotions and karmic forces swept over him once again.
Despair, hope, greed, anger, love, hatred...
The emotions of billions of living beings converge into a sea, enough to overwhelm any powerful will.
But this time, Su Chen did not resist.
He opened his mind, allowing the chaotic will to encompass, understand, and bear everything.
His consciousness transcended time and space.
Good and evil, light and darkness, greatness and baseness, were intertwined wildly in his heart.
His consciousness rose continuously in an endless ocean of emotions.
Ultimately, he transcended all conventional standards of judgment.
It turns out that the world itself is neither good nor bad.
It is merely a container, equally holding all good and all evil.
It neither judges nor shows favoritism; it simply exists silently.
What he needs to do is neither to judge the evils of the world, nor to praise the brilliance of humanity.
What he needs to do is protect this "bearing" itself.
As this realization arose in his heart, the World Seal he pressed between his eyebrows suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
It was no longer an external object, but began to truly merge with his soul.
