Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 252 Netherworld Purifying Fire
As the last wisp of karmic fire was consumed, the Eye of the Void appeared between her brows.

The moment the Eye of the Void pierced through, Liu Sijun's consciousness was as if it were being swept into a cosmic vortex, with countless images exploding on his retina.

She saw the last moment before the Creator God fell: a giant with a chaotic blue lotus burning all over his body split the Primordial Origin in his hand in two, one half turning into the Netherworld Fire, and the other half merging into herself who was still in swaddling clothes.

The voice of the Creator God boomed like a meteorite striking: "Child, you must remember, gods and demons are one. What is sealed is not the demon god, but myself."

Liu Sijun's Taixu Spiritual Meridian awakened amidst excruciating pain, and the karmic fire of the Nine Netherworld Crystal Stone poured into her dantian like a cascading silver river.

She saw the scene of the Ji clan's ancestor making a blood oath with the demon god: the first Ji Feng Marquis voluntarily became the vessel for the demon god's reincarnation, using the power of his bloodline to divide the demon god's power into two parts: good (the Ji clan) and evil (the Heavenly Ruins Palace).

Liu Sijun's voice carried the majesty of the creator god: "So what we have been protecting all along is the karma sown by the creator god himself."

The Taixu Spirit Vein erupted with a world-destroying golden light, turning the entire spatial rift into a chaotic color.

The demonic phantom let out a resentful roar, but was forcibly absorbed into her dantian by the Origin of the Void.

Gu Changzhou's star power was completely dissipated under the backlash of the karmic fire.

He watched as translucent divine patterns appeared around Liu Sijun's body; they were the imprint of the creator god.

"Jun'er!"

Gu Changzhou's roar was torn apart by the gale.

He saw Liu Sijun's skin begin to peel away, revealing the chaotic blue lotus flowing beneath.

Her pupils were completely filled with dark gold, and the Eye of the Void reflected countless parallel universes: in one universe, Ji Qiyuan was flying kites with the children; in another universe, Xu Hechen was on the ruins of the Heavenly Ruins Palace, holding the burning heart of the Demon God in his hand.

Liu Sijun felt the Netherworld Fire raging within his body, each flame carrying the memories of the Ji family ancestors.

She saw Ji Su setting up a seal before the Nine Netherworld Spring, saw Ji Qiyuan's resolute decision when he opened the Eye of Wind and Thunder, and even saw the scene of the Ji clan's ancestor kneeling at the feet of the demon god, drawing karmic fire into his own heart.

"Why?" Liu Sijun's voice choked with emotion. "Why do you have to endure so much pain for me?"

The Taixu Spiritual Vein suddenly contracted, compressing the Nine Netherworld Fire into a pulsating core of karmic fire.

Liu Sijun felt his five spiritual roots being reforged in the karmic fire, and five-colored light intertwined within his body, eventually condensing into a semi-transparent chaotic blue lotus.

"Because you are the only chaotic spiritual root in the world, only you can break this endless cycle of reincarnation."

The voice of the legendary god echoed in her mind.

"Because you are the only primordial spirit root in the world." The voice of the creator god echoed in her mind, "Only you can break this endless cycle of reincarnation."

Gu Changzhou's star power dissipated completely, and his protective aura was extinguished entirely.

When the Taixu Sword transformed into a stream of light and pierced his heart, he felt a cool power coursing through his body, and his broken meridians began to heal, but his dantian felt empty.

He became a mortal without spiritual power!

He looked up at Liu Sijun, who was floating in the primordial void, and found that her body was becoming ethereal.

Her skin became transparent, revealing the burning Chaos Lotus within her body, and her consciousness was merging with the remnant soul of the Creator God.

"Jun'er, come back!"

Gu Changzhou's call was torn apart by the gale, and he saw countless parallel universes reflected in Liu Sijun's Eye of the Void.

In each timeline, there are different versions of yourself and her repeating the cycle of sealing and awakening.

In the dust formed from the Netherworld Crystal Stone, Ji Qiyuan's jade pendant fragment suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

It took flight automatically and merged into Liu Sijun's primordial essence.

Liu Sijun felt a surge of cleansing power coursing through his body—it was Ji Qiyuan's wind and thunder power. "General Ji..."

Liu Sijun murmured to herself, her Void Eye suddenly piercing through to a certain time and space: Ji Qiyuan's reincarnation was rebuilding the capital of Fenglei Kingdom, and the same chaotic mark as her appeared between his brows.

"General Ji, so you foresaw all of this!"

Liu Sijun murmured to herself, feeling Ji Qiyuan's wind and thunder power resonating with the Taixu Fire Seed within her body, forming a barrier against the erosion of darkness.

Gu Changzhou knelt on the beach, the hilt of the Mo Lin sword deeply embedded in the sand.

His fingertips touched the Ink Scale mark on his chest, the symbol of the Ink Scale sword sheath.

When he uses his mortal power, the mark emits a faint blue light, guiding him to sense the fluctuations of karmic fire within a radius of a hundred miles.

At this moment, Liu Sijun's body was still suspended in the Origin of the Great Void.

Enveloped in the light of the Chaos Green Lotus, he was deeply integrated with the remnant soul of the Creator God, making his perception of the outside world extremely weak.

Meanwhile, on the far northern ice plains, Li Qing is facing an unprecedented crisis.

He was thrown to this place by the shock and initially fell into a coma.

When he woke up, he found himself in a frozen wasteland, surrounded by a biting cold, and countless ice beasts had become extremely violent due to the fluctuations of the demon god's remnant soul's power.

Despite the pain in her body, Li Qing struggled to stand up.

On his forehead, the flame mark of the Phoenix Clan flickered erratically, and the Fire Phoenix behind him also appeared somewhat listless.

"where is this place?"

Li Qing muttered to herself, her expression one of confusion.

Just then, a pack of snow wolves caught his scent and howled as they pounced on him.

Li Qing quickly circulated his spiritual power, attempting to summon the Phoenix True Fire to defend against the Ice Wolf's attack, but found that the spiritual power within his body had become extremely chaotic in the frigid land.

"hateful!"

Li Qing gritted his teeth, drew the broken blade from his waist, and engaged in close combat with the Ice Wolf.

In the fierce battle with the snow wolves, Li Qing suffered many new wounds, and the blood dripped onto the snow, instantly freezing into ice beads.

However, just as he was about to exhaust himself, the Ice Phoenix suddenly let out a clear cry, and flames burst forth around him.

The flames resonated with Li Qing's Phoenix True Fire, instantly restoring some of his spiritual power.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Qing unleashed a powerful Phoenix True Fire, forcing the Ice Wolf back.

Li Qing stroked the head of the phantom of the Fire Phoenix and said gratefully, "Fire Phoenix, thank you!"

The phantom of the fire phoenix nuzzled his hand affectionately.

After a short rest, Li Qing began searching for a way to leave the far north ice plains.

He traveled along the edge of the ice field, encountering some cultivators who had also been driven mad by the afterimage of the demon god.

Li Qing engaged in battle with them, and during the battle, he gradually discovered that his mutated fire spirit root had undergone new changes in the extremely cold land, becoming the Netherworld Purifying Fire.

The Netherworld Purifying Flame became increasingly condensed through its collision with the icy air.

The color of the flames gradually changed from the original orange-red to a deep purple.

Li Qing tried to incorporate the Netherworld Purifying Flame into his attacks and found that its power was much stronger than before.
