Chapter 767: The Twin Soul Fire's Counterattack
The blood-red moonlight, like a weeping blood-stained silk, stained the battlefield at the edge of the Demonic Abyss a crimson. Broken chains of spiritual energy tangled in Yun Yao's hair. The Fate-Defying Coil vibrated violently against her chest, its cracks spreading as Liu Yan'er approached. Twelve pairs of bony wings unfurled from Liu Yan'er's back, and the fragments of karma embedded in these bone spurs shimmered with an eerie, dim light, each ray a stark mockery of Yun Yao.
"Yun Yao, do you think you've won by rescuing him?" Liu Yan'er's voice was mixed with demonic energy, as sharp as a blade scraping against a stone wall. "The Lord of the Chaos Demon Sect said that as long as we use your Heaven-Defying Fate Plate to refine his Candle Dragon bloodline, we can open the door to the God Realm - and you are just a perfect vessel!" Before she finished speaking, the magic arrow shot out from her fingertips, carrying the power of "time stagnation". The space twisted and deformed around the magic arrow, and Yun Yao's Eyes of Time were completely ineffective in the face of this power.
Chu Mochen's pupils suddenly constricted, his Zhulong blood boiling within him, and dragon scales rapidly spread from his neck. He forcibly broke free from Yun Yao's support, transforming into a stream of golden light to meet the demonic arrow. However, when the demonic arrow struck the dragon scales protecting his body, a sharp corrosive sound emanated, and the golden scales peeled off piece by piece, and black blood flowed from the corner of Chu Mochen's mouth.
Yun Yao's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. She recalled the memories of seventeen reincarnations she had seen in the Divine Monarch's Palace. In each life, Chu Mochen had protected her with his own life. In this life, she could not let tragedy happen again! The Fate-Defying Disk suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light. Yun Yao bit her tongue, sprayed her blood onto the disk, and screamed, "Defy Fate, change karma!"
But strangely, the light of the Destiny Disk suddenly dimmed the moment it touched the magic arrow, and Yun Yao's meridians felt as if they were burned by a raging fire. Seeing this, Liu Yan'er laughed wildly, "Don't waste your energy! Do you think the Chaos Demon Sect's secrets are so easy to crack? Those causal fragments are the weaknesses you left in various small worlds!"
Just as Yun Yao was in despair, Chu Mochen suddenly grasped her hand and channeled her spiritual energy into his own. The co-existence contracts on their wrists shone brightly, and the Fate Star Jade Slips flew out of their arms, hovering in the air and reflecting each other. Instantly, two clusters of dark blue flames blazed in the depths of their seas of consciousness. They were the "Twin Soul Fires" that could only be awakened by a spirit that had experienced seventeen reincarnations!
Wherever the soul fire passed, Liu Yan'er's bony wings instantly shattered, and the black demonic energy receded like a tide. She was horrified to discover that her memories were being burned by the soul fire. Every image of her framing Yun Yao was transformed into a scene of Yun Yao saving Chu Mochen. "Impossible... You're clearly just a mortal traveler!" Liu Yan'er's voice was filled with fear and disbelief.
Yun Yao suddenly felt dizzy at this moment, her Destiny Disk emitting a violent backlash. It turned out that using the Twin Soul Fires consumed a vast amount of causal energy, and her previous attempts to reverse causality had already overwhelmed the Destiny Disk. The cracks on the disk expanded at a visible rate, and blood oozed from Yun Yao's mouth and nose.
Chu Mochen noticed Yun Yao's strangeness, and his eyes instantly grew fierce. The Candle Dragon bloodline circulated frantically within him, his pupils transformed into vertical lines, and behind him emerged twelve pairs of battle wings blazing with infernal flames. "Yao'er, hold on!" His voice grew deep and hoarse, carrying an undeniable strength.
Liu Yan'er seized this opportunity, condensing another, even more powerful magic arrow, aiming directly at Yun Yao's vital point. Just as the magic arrow was about to strike, Yun Yao's Heaven-Defying Fate Plate suddenly emitted a clear chime, and wisps of golden light seeped out from the cracks on the plate. These rays resonated with the twin soul flames, forming a vast cause-and-effect array in the air.
Yun Yao's consciousness suddenly cleared, and she saw a shocking truth within the formation diagram: Liu Yan'er's true identity was a "causal puppet" used by the Chaos Demon Sect to monitor her. Her true form was merely a cloud of demonic mist waiting to possess another body! This cloud of demonic mist was inextricably linked to the mysterious shadow she had encountered in the Netherworld.
"I see..." Yun Yao's lips curled into a cold smile. She seized the opportunity to unsheath the Pure World Lotus, its radiance illuminating the battlefield. In the light, Liu Yan'er's puppet body began to crumble, and the writhing black mist beneath gradually emerged. Yun Yao transformed the Fate-Defying Disk into a stream of light, using it as a guide to seal the "chaotic consciousness" within the black mist into the rift between time and space.
However, just as she thought the crisis was over, a hand covered in black lines suddenly reached out from the rift in space and time and grabbed the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. A cold voice rang out from the rift: "Yun Yao, do you think this is the end? The power of chaos is beyond your imagination!"
Yun Yao felt a powerful suction, her body uncontrollably drawn toward the rift. Chu Mochen roared, his twin soul fires surging, transforming into a massive flaming python as it charged toward the rift. The python clashed fiercely with the black hand, sending the entire Demonic Abyss trembling violently.
At this crucial moment, Yun Yao's mind suddenly rang with the system's voice: "Host, activate the hidden power within the Hongmeng Fragments!" Without hesitation, she channeled the power of the fragments into the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. Ancient Hongmeng runes emerged from the disk. Combining with the twin soul flames, the runes unleashed a devastating force. The rift in space and time instantly shattered, and the dark hand vanished in a flash of light.
The battlefield finally returned to calm. Liu Yan'er's puppet completely dissipated, leaving behind only a black crystal engraved with the word "Chaos." Yun Yao leaned weakly against Chu Mochen's chest, staring at the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk in her hand. Although the cracks on the disk were still there, it shone with an even brighter light.
"Yao'er, you scared me to death." Chu Mochen's voice was trembling. He hugged Yun Yao tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go. Yun Yao raised her head and saw the worry and heartache in his eyes. A warm current surged in her heart.
"Mo Chen, we have passed another level." Yun Yao said softly, "And, I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the truth." She held Chu Mo Chen's hand tightly, and the twin soul fires jumped gently between them, illuminating each other's determined eyes.
In the distance, deep within the Demonic Abyss, a low rumble echoed, as if foreshadowing a greater crisis to come. But Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not afraid, for they knew that as long as their twin soul flames remained extinguished, they could overcome all difficulties.
Under the blood-red moonlight, the two figures gradually faded away, leaving only the messy traces on the battlefield, telling the story of this thrilling battle. What they didn't know was that in the depths of the Chaos Demon Sect, a pair of malicious eyes were watching all this, and a greater conspiracy was quietly brewing...
