All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Golden holy light crashed down like a meteorite, striking the capital city with a deafening roar.

The shockwave swept in all directions, sending the fighting demon soldiers and defenders flying. As the dust settled, a towering figure stood amidst the holy light, its six wings spread wide, each feather gleaming with a shimmering white holy light. Its divine pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, enveloping the entire area.

Divine messenger!

He was clad in gilded holy armor, intricate goddess runes engraved on it, and the holy sword in his hand was crystal clear, its blade flowing with liquid holy light. His mere presence caused the surrounding demonic energy to tremble.

"Demon King Yue Gui, how dare you defy the decree of Goddess Xue Ji and slaughter living beings! Today, I will rid the goddess of you of this heretic!"

The divine messenger's voice was loud and clear, carrying an undeniable sacred majesty. His holy sword pointed directly at Yuegui, and holy light spread along the blade, carving a deep trench in the ground.

Yue Gui hovered in the air, his black robes fluttering under the pressure of the holy might, but there was no fear in his eyes, only boundless hatred.

"Yukihime's dog dares to bark at me?"

He slowly gripped the divine spear on his back, and the black and red demonic patterns instantly lit up. The demonic energy surged like a tsunami, colliding with the holy light of the divine messenger and forming a clear black and white dividing line.

At the dividing line, space distorted and vibrated, emitting a piercing shriek. Karen and the others on the city wall turned pale, forced to circulate their magic to resist the aftershocks, even their breathing became difficult.

"kill!"

The divine messenger launched the first attack, flapping his six wings and rushing towards Yue Gui like lightning. He raised his holy sword high above his head, and holy light condensed into a giant sword shadow, which slashed down towards Yue Gui with earth-shattering power.

Wherever the sword's shadow passed, the air was scorched and distorted, the ground cracked, and the rubble instantly turned to ashes in the holy light.

Yue Gui's eyes narrowed, and his divine spear was instantly drawn. Black and red demonic energy swirled around the spear tip. He leaped up, aimed the spear tip at the sword shadow, and thrust it out fiercely.

"clang!"

The deafening clang of metal clashing was deafening, the sound waves spreading outwards and shattering windows in houses within a radius of several miles. At the point of impact between the holy sword and the divine spear, holy light and demonic energy intertwined and annihilated each other, erupting in a dazzling burst of light.

The divine messenger's arm went slightly numb, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly by the violent power of the demonic energy. He managed to steady himself by flapping his six wings, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that Yue Gui's demonic energy would be so powerful, even the holy light blessed by the goddess was blocked by it.

Yue Gui then used the recoil to flip in mid-air and land steadily. His divine spear was planted firmly on the ground, and the demonic energy spread from the spear shaft to the ground, corroding large areas of dark marks.

"Is this all the skill you've got? You dare to come and die for Xue Ji?" Yue Gui sneered, his tone full of mockery.

The divine messenger's face turned ashen, and the holy light around him grew even stronger. The runes on his six wings lit up, and he swung his holy sword once more. This time, countless holy light slashes shot towards Yue Gui, densely packed, sealing off all space for evasion.

The Holy Light Slash was extremely fast; wherever it passed, the demonic energy was purified, leaving deep trenches in the ground.

Yue Gui's eyes were sharp, and the divine spear spun rapidly in his hand, forming a black magic wall.

"Jingle bells!"

The holy light struck the demonic wall, producing a series of loud clashing sounds and scattering sparks. The demonic wall trembled violently, yet remained unbroken, with fragments of demonic energy and holy light flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the moment when the divine messenger was gathering his strength, Yue Gui's demonic energy surged beneath his feet, and his figure rushed towards the divine messenger like a ghost. His divine spear, carrying black and red demonic flames, pierced straight into the divine messenger's heart.

Before the spear tip even got close, the raging demonic energy had already corroded the divine messenger's holy armor, making a "sizzling" sound.

The divine messenger reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and swinging his holy sword to block the divine spear.

"clang!"

Another deafening roar shook the divine envoy, causing his blood to surge and a trickle of golden divine blood to spill from the corner of his mouth. He quickly retreated, flapping his six wings and sending countless holy feathers hurtling towards Yue Gui.

The feathers may appear soft, but they actually contain extremely strong purifying power. When they come into contact with demonic energy, they will erupt with a violent burst of holy light.

Yue Gui snorted coldly, his divine spear sweeping across, demonic energy condensing into a giant spear shadow that shattered all the holy light feathers. The shockwave from the explosion swept in all directions, obliterating the surrounding demon soldiers and guards to nothingness.

Karen and the others on the city wall watched with trepidation.

This is a battle between high-level combatants!

Every move and every strike can easily reap countless lives; its destructive power is terrifying.

"Sabera, come back! It's too dangerous here!" Karen shouted down, her eyes filled with worry. Sabella was standing at the edge of the battlefield, caught in the aftershocks of the battle, her body swaying precariously.

Sabella, however, seemed not to hear, her gaze fixed on the battle between Yue Gui and the divine messenger, Yue Gui's words echoing repeatedly in her mind.

Luo, the mother, was not involved in the betrayal, and Yue Gui is also searching for his mother's whereabouts.

Countless questions flooded her mind, making it impossible for her to look away.

In the center of the battlefield, seeing that the ranged attack was ineffective, the divine messenger's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. Holy light surged around him, and his six wings closed, enveloping him within them.

"The Goddess's Mystic Art: Holy Flame Incinerates Demons!"

With a loud shout, the divine messenger unfurled his six wings, and blazing holy flames erupted from them. These holy flames were not ordinary flames, but purifying flames imbued with the divine power of the Snow Maiden. Wherever they passed, the demonic energy was instantly incinerated.

The divine messenger transformed into a fiery meteor, rushing towards Yue Gui. The holy flames on the holy sword grew even more intense, as if they wanted to burn Yue Gui along with the surrounding demonic energy.

Yue Gui's eyes revealed a murderous intent, and the black and red demonic flames on his divine spear surged. He stopped defending and took the initiative to meet the attack.

A human and a demon, a saint and an evil, collided violently in mid-air.

Holy flames and demonic flames intertwined, forming a massive energy sphere. The energy sphere continued to expand, causing the surrounding space to collapse and creating countless tiny spatial cracks.

"Bang!"

The energy sphere exploded with a deafening roar, its dazzling light illuminating the entire capital, making even the sun appear dim. The shockwave from the explosion blasted a large section of the capital's walls down, sending debris and blood flying everywhere, accompanied by screams and wails.

Karen and the others quickly cast defensive spells to protect the guards around them. Even so, they were still forced back by the shockwave, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Yue Gui and the divine messenger reappeared in mid-air.

Yue Gui's dark robe was tattered by the holy flames, and his skin was burned in many places. Black and red blood flowed from the wounds, but he still held the divine spear in his hand, his eyes were firm, and his demonic aura was not diminished in the slightest.

The divine messenger was in no better condition; his gilded holy armor was riddled with cracks, his six wings were corroded and incomplete by demonic energy, the holy flames on his holy sword had dimmed considerably, and his aura had become weak.

"I never expected you, Demon King, to possess such power." The divine envoy panted heavily, his eyes filled with apprehension. "But do you think you can win like this? The goddess's power is far beyond your imagination!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the divine messenger formed hand seals and chanted ancient and obscure incantations. Holy light began to surge wildly around him, and his body gradually became transparent. He was obviously burning his divine core in exchange for a temporary surge in divine power.

"The goddess has granted me power to purify all heresy in the world!"

With a roar, the divine messenger transformed into a giant pillar of holy light that shot straight into the sky, connecting with the divine realm. An even more terrifying divine power erupted from the pillar.

Around the pillar of light, space completely collapsed, forming a huge spatial black hole. The black hole continuously devoured everything around it—demonic soldiers, guards, and rubble—all were sucked into it, and even sound could not escape.

Yue Gui's expression was solemn. He could clearly sense that this power far exceeded that of the divine messenger himself; it was a projection of Xue Ji's divine power.

"Xue Ji, you really are hiding in the shadows, too afraid to show yourself!" Yue Gui roared angrily, his divine spear spinning in his hand, black and red demonic energy condensing into a giant demonic spear, its tip aimed at the pillar of holy light. "Today, I will shatter even your divine power projection!"

Yue Gui leaped into the air, pouring all his demonic energy into the divine spear. The black and red patterns on the spear lit up, radiating a world-destroying power.

"Secret Technique: Heaven-Splitting!"

With a low shout, Yue Gui thrust the giant demonic spear fiercely towards the pillar of holy light. Wherever the demonic spear passed, space was torn apart, and even the suction force of the black hole was forcefully resisted.

"boom!"

The demonic spear and the pillar of holy light collided violently. The clash of these two extreme powers caused the entire royal capital to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. The pillar of light and the demonic spear were locked in a stalemate, constantly absorbing each other's power and erupting with even more dazzling light.

The soldiers guarding the city walls were terrified and fled in droves towards the capital. The Demon King's army officers watched the battlefield with grim expressions, not daring to advance.

Karen gripped his knight's sword tightly, his eyes fixed sharply on the center of the battlefield. He knew that the outcome of this duel would determine the fate of the capital and the course of the entire world.

Sabella stood there, her heart filled with complex emotions. She hoped that Yuegui would win, expose the goddess's conspiracy, and find her mother's whereabouts; yet she also worried that if Yuegui won, she would harm the innocent people of the capital.

The stalemate continued in mid-air.

Yue Gui's aura gradually weakened. The divine messenger burning his divine core, combined with Xue Ji's divine power projection, was too terrifying. The demonic energy within his body was being rapidly depleted.

The divine messenger's voice came from the pillar of light, tinged with madness: "Yue Gui, surrender! Submit to the goddess, and perhaps you'll be spared a complete corpse!"

"Surrender?" Yue Gui sneered, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I, Yue Gui, would rather die than surrender! What you owed me back then, I will collect today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Gui suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. The blood landed on the divine spear, and the demonic spear instantly swelled several times over, its power increasing once again.

This is his trump card, which he used to burn his own life essence to obtain ultimate power!

"Smash it!"

With a roar, Yue Gui exerted force in his arm, and the demonic spear surged forward. The black and red demonic energy instantly suppressed the holy light and pierced into the pillar of light.

"No!"

The divine messenger let out a piercing scream, and the pillar of light began to tremble violently, its radiance gradually dimming. The demonic spear pierced through the pillar of light and through the divine messenger's body, and black and red demonic energy instantly surged into the divine messenger's body, frantically corroding his divine core.

The pillar of holy light collapsed with a deafening roar, and the divine envoy's body plummeted from mid-air to the ground, barely clinging to life. His divine core had been completely corroded by demonic energy, his six wings were broken, his holy armor shattered, and he was no longer the divine and majestic figure he once was.

Yue Gui also fell from mid-air, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily. His wounds continued to bleed, and his breath was extremely weak. Burning his essence blood had taken a heavy toll on him, and at this moment, even standing was difficult for him.

But his eyes remained sharp, still filled with boundless hatred and determination.

"Snow Princess, this is just the beginning." Yue Gui whispered, her voice weak yet filled with unwavering determination. "I will find you, and I will personally drag you down from your pedestal, to avenge the betrayal of that year, to avenge Ella, and to avenge all those who have died!"

Just then, the divine messenger suddenly moved.

He struggled to his feet, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes. He concentrated the last bit of divine power into the holy sword and thrust it toward Yue Gui's back.

"Demon King, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Karen and the others on the city wall paled. They wanted to warn Yue Gui, but it was too late.

Sabella's eyes narrowed, and holy light surged around her, transforming into a white lightning bolt as she charged towards Yue Gui, using her broken holy sword to block the divine messenger's attack.

"clang!"

The holy sword clashed with the broken holy sword, and Sabella was forced back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she still stood in front of Yuegui, her eyes fixed firmly on the divine messenger.

"Why...why are you helping him?" The messenger's eyes were full of doubt. He hadn't expected that the daughter of the Goddess of Light would help the Demon King.

Sabella remained silent, only gripping the broken holy sword tightly, her holy light intensifying. She didn't know why she was helping Yuegui; perhaps it was for her mother, perhaps for Ella, perhaps for those innocent people deceived by the goddess.

Yue Gui slowly turned around, looking at Sabella who was blocking his way. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by coldness. He raised his hand, aiming the divine spear at the divine messenger, and black and red demonic energy condensed once more.

"You don't need to lift a finger." Yue Gui's voice was hoarse, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The divine messenger looked at Yue Gui with fear in his eyes. He wanted to run away, but found that his body was already bound by demonic energy and he could not move.

"Yue Gui, you can't kill me! I am the messenger of the goddess Xue Ji. If you kill me, the goddess will not let you off!" the messenger shouted in terror, his voice full of pleading.

"Snow Princess?" Yue Gui sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "I can't wait for her to come to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the divine spear shot out a black and red demonic flame, piercing straight into the heart of the divine messenger.

The demonic flames pierced through the divine messenger's body, completely incinerating his divine core. The divine messenger's body gradually turned to ashes, leaving only a piercing scream before dissipating into the air.

After defeating the divine messenger, Yue Gui could no longer hold on, staggered, and almost fell.

"Your Majesty!" The three chief ministers—Arrogance, Lust, and Death—rushed forward to support Yue Gui, their voices filled with worry, "How are you?"

"I'm fine, just severely damaged." Yue Gui shook his head, his gaze fixed on the capital's walls. "Send the order down, take advantage of the defenders' low morale, and launch a full-scale attack! We must breach the capital before Xue Ji sends a new divine envoy!"

"Yes!" the three leaders responded in unison, immediately turning around to issue orders to the Demon King's army.

"kill!"

The Demon King's army roared once more, their morale soaring, and launched an even fiercer attack on the capital's walls. Without the divine messenger to restrain them, the demon soldiers became even more fearless. One siege ladder after another was erected on the walls, and the demon soldiers frantically climbed up them.

The defenders on the city wall were already terrified by the battle just now, their morale was low, and they were powerless to resist the fierce attack of the Demon King's army, and they all retreated in disarray.

Karen and the others looked grave and immediately threw themselves into the battle.

Karen, wielding a knight's sword bathed in holy light, slashed down the demon soldiers climbing the city walls; Doron swung his giant axe, knocking down siege ladders and smashing demon soldiers off the walls; Leah fired a barrage of arrows, accurately killing demon archers in the distance; while Allen cast wide-area magic to block the demon soldiers' advance.

Sabella also joined the battle. Her holy light had a strong restraining effect on the demon soldiers. With each swing, she could purify the demonic energy of a demon soldier and kill him.

However, the number of demon soldiers was too great, and they kept coming. Even though the defenders fought hard, the city walls were gradually breached by the demon soldiers. More and more demon soldiers climbed the city walls and frantically hacked at the defenders. The defenders suffered increasing casualties, and the city walls were gradually occupied by the demon soldiers.

Protected by the three cadres, Yue Gui leaned against a boulder, his eyes closed as he regulated his breathing, the demonic energy within him slowly recovering. He opened his eyes, looked at the city wall, and a cold smile flashed in them.

The capital of the Holy Empire will soon be flattened by him.

Nobles, goddesses, are you ready to face his revenge?

Just then, a strong wave of holy light suddenly emanated from the depths of the capital.

This surge was even stronger and more sacred than the power of the divine messenger just now, clearly indicating that a higher level of power from the goddess's camp had intervened in the battle.

Yue Gui's expression changed, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Is Yukihime finally going to take action herself?

Karen and the others also sensed the powerful fluctuations of holy light, and they all stopped fighting, looking towards the depths of the royal capital with solemn expressions.

They knew that an even more terrifying battle was about to begin.

Deep within the royal capital, the holy light grew increasingly intense, and a colossal phantom of a goddess slowly emerged, enveloping the entire capital. The phantom wore a magnificent star-studded gown, possessed an exquisitely beautiful face, and icy eyes—it was none other than the goddess Xue Ji.

Xue Ji's gaze fell upon Yue Gui, filled with boundless rage and majesty: "Yue Gui, how dare you kill my divine messenger! Today, I will make your soul vanish!"

Yue Gui slowly stood up, gripped the divine spear in his hand, and his demonic energy surged again. Even when facing Xue Ji's phantom, he did not flinch in the slightest.

"Yukihime, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Demonic energy and holy light clashed once again; this time, it was a direct confrontation between the Demon King and the Goddess.

The sky above the capital was completely covered in black and white. Gale-force winds howled, the earth trembled, and countless spatial cracks spread across the sky, as if the entire world was about to collapse in this duel.

Karen and the others quickly retreated to a safe area, their eyes fixed intently on the battle in the sky. They knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of the entire world.

The phantom of the goddess Xue Ji slowly raised her hand, and countless giant holy light slashes shot towards Yue Gui. Each holy light slash contained the power to destroy the world.

Yue Gui's eyes were sharp, and the divine spear spun rapidly in his hand. Demonic energy condensed into a huge demonic wall. At the same time, demonic energy surged beneath his feet, and his figure dodged the Holy Light Slash attack like a ghost.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The holy light slashed down on the demonic wall, creating a violent explosion that trembled the wall, threatening to collapse at any moment. Yue Gui weaved through the gaps in the holy light slashes, his divine spear thrusting out repeatedly, black and red demonic flames shooting towards Xue Ji's illusory figure.

The phantom of Yuki gently raised her hand, and a shield of holy light blocked the attack of the demonic flames. The demonic flames landed on the shield and were instantly purified.

"It's all in vain." Xue Ji's voice was cold, tinged with mockery. "Yue Gui, do you think you can shake me with your current strength?"

Yue Gui didn't speak, but increased the speed of his attack. His divine spear thrust out like a storm, and countless attacks, including demonic flames, demonic spear shadows, and demonic energy slashes, bombarded Xue Ji's phantom.

Xue Ji's phantom calmly responded, with countless holy skills such as Holy Light Shield, Holy Light Slash, and Holy Light Pillar colliding with Yue Gui's attacks. The entire capital was enveloped by the aftershocks of this battle, with houses collapsing, the earth cracking, and rivers of blood flowing.

Sabella gazed at the phantom of Yukihime in the sky, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The battle in the sky intensified. Yue Gui's aura grew weaker and weaker, and although Xue Ji's phantom was powerful, it was also constantly consuming divine power, and its light gradually dimmed.

Neither of them backed down. One sought revenge, the other sought to maintain his rule. The two engaged in a fierce battle to the death in the sky.

Beneath the walls of the royal capital, the battle between the demon army and the defenders continued. The demon soldiers had already occupied most of the city walls and were advancing into the capital. The defenders suffered heavy casualties and were in retreat. The royal capital was about to be completely breached by the demon army.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Demon King and the Goddess in the sky reached its climax. Yue Gui burned even more of his life essence, and the demonic flames on his divine spear grew ever stronger, while Xue Ji's phantom gathered even more divine power, and holy light enveloped the heavens and earth.

The next strike may be the one that decides the outcome.

Karen and the others stared intently at the sky, their hearts filled with tension. They didn't know how this battle would end. But they knew that, whatever the outcome, this war would not end easily.

The phantom of Yukihime slowly raised her hand, and all the holy light around her gathered in her palm, forming a huge sphere of holy light. The sphere of holy light continued to expand, containing enough power to destroy the entire royal capital.

Yue Gui also felt this terrifying power. His eyes were resolute. He poured all the remaining demonic energy and essence in his body into the divine spear. The divine spear transformed into a black and red meteor and thrust it out fiercely at the holy light sphere.

"Demon Spear Ultimate Technique - Annihilation!"

"The Witch's Mystic Art: Divine Judgment!"

Two extreme forces collided violently in the sky.
