Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

103: Chapter 103: The Journey of the Stars and the Return to the Source of AnnihilationThe dark purple demonic blade slashed by the Nascent Soul Demon General in his rage tore through the air, carrying a terrifying power capable of annihilating the Divine Soul and corroding all things. Like a falling nether sky, it struck down violently toward the faintly starlit ring-shaped ruins! Before the demonic blade even arrived, its fearsome pressure caused the azure light pillar rising from the altar to sway violently. Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue felt as if they had been struck by an invisible mountain; their bones felt as if they would shatter, and they found it hard to breathe!

They could not retreat! Behind them was the last fire of hope, the only map leading to a way of life!

”Roar!” Nangong Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot as he actually burned his life-source Golden Core Qi, forcibly squeezing out every last bit of his potential! The crack-covered thunder sword in his hand emitted an overwhelmed hum, and the grey-black Nirvana lightning erupted with unprecedented intensity, no longer just swirling around the blade but completely merging into his own Sword Intent!

”Nirvana Thunder—Return to the Void!!”

He transformed himself into a sword, turning into an extremely condensed bolt of grey-black lightning that seemed capable of ending all things in heaven and earth. Without dodging, he resolutely met the demonic blade that blotted out the sky! This was not an attack, but the most determined protection—the ultimate collision between Nirvana and annihilation!

Boom!!!!!!!

A terrifying explosion that defied description echoed throughout the base of the falling star monument! The energy shockwave expanded frantically in a ring, blowing away and tearing apart the low-level demon cultivators rushing nearby like straw!

The grey-black lightning and the dark purple demonic blade collided fiercely, instantly eroding and annihilating each other! Nangong Xuan’s figure appeared at the center of the collision, covered in blood. His thunder sword shattered inch by inch, but his gaze remained as sharp as an eagle’s. His Nirvana Sword Intent held firm against the demonic blade, actually managing to stall its downward momentum for a split second!

But it was only for a split second! The absolute gap in their Realms was insurmountable! The grey-black lightning quickly dimmed, and although the demonic blade had been mostly worn away, it still pressed down with its remaining terrifying power!

Just as Nangong Xuan was about to be completely consumed by the demonic blade—

”Mystic Yin Jade Soul: Star Domain Ice Seal!”

Su Muxue’s cold voice rang out. She had somehow already floated above the altar, her zhenyuan sword pointing to the sky. The Taiyin Immortal Body and the recently resonated Stellar Power within her merged and erupted in an unprecedented way! With her as the center, the frigid Taiyin power mixed with pure Starlight, expanding rapidly like a Domain and instantly enveloping the entire ring-shaped ruins!

Crack, crack, crack—!

The remaining demonic blade slashed into this suddenly appearing ice-blue Star Domain, its speed abruptly slowing down. Its surface was quickly covered in a layer of indestructible profound ice shimmering with Starlight! Its evil energy was also rapidly purified and frozen by the extreme cold and the stars!

The demonic blade finally froze completely less than three feet above Nangong Xuan’s head, then with a ”bang,” it shattered into countless ice crystals and dissipated!

Pfft—!

Su Muxue spat out a mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper and her body swaying. Forcibly deploying this Domain power that she hadn’t fully mastered had nearly drained all her strength, and her Meridians throbbed with a pain like being cut by knives. But this desperate strike had finally managed to block the Nascent Soul Demon General’s long-distance killing move!

However, the crisis was far from over!

Several Peak Golden Core Stage demonic shadows, which had quietly closed in, took this opportunity to strike!

These demonic shadows were completely different from ordinary demon cultivators. Their forms were blurred, as if composed of pure shadow and viscous miasma, lacking a fixed shape. Their attack methods were bizarre and unpredictable, directly penetrating physical defenses to corrode the Divine Soul and Golden Core. They were the true elites of Dark Flame City—the Shadow Demon Guards!

One Shadow Demon Guard transformed into an invisible spike, piercing toward Su Muxue’s brow! Another merged into the shadows, coiling toward the exhausted Nangong Xuan! Two others lunged directly at the altar itself, attempting to interrupt the condensation of the Starlight map!

If the altar were destroyed, all their efforts would be in vain!

In that split second—

Lin Mo, who had been floating above the altar, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented light from his ball of light! It was no longer a simple grey-blue, but a strange color that seemed to contain the birth and death of ten thousand stars within, eventually returning to the Nirvana of Chaos!

The remnant thoughts of Ling Xu Sword Venerable, the glow of the nirvana star core, and even the massive pollution and death Aura of this place that he had previously devoured and merged were forcibly unified and refined by the nirvana star core at this moment, transforming into a brand-new power that transcended simple devouring—the Source Flame of Return to Ruin!

It was a fire of Nirvana that seemed weak but could decompose all things back to their most original state!

”Nirvana... World Purification.”

A cold and vast intent swept across the battlefield.

The Shadow Demon Guard lunging at Su Muxue, when just three inches from her brow, seemed to hit an invisible wall of burning Chaos flames. Before it could even scream, the shadows and miasma that formed its Origin were instantly ”decomposed” by those flames, turning into the most primitive energy particles and vanishing without a trace!

The Shadow Demon Guard coiling toward Nangong Xuan was touched by a wisp of Source Flame of Return to Ruin that suddenly leaped from the Void Realm. Like a spark falling into an oil depot, it was instantly ignited from head to toe, and in a silent, violent distortion, it was completely reduced to nothingness!

The two Shadow Demon Guards lunging at the altar met an even stranger fate. The space around the altar seemed to be endowed with the attribute of ”Nirvana.” As soon as they approached, their bodies began to spontaneously disintegrate and dissipate, as if their very existence was being ”denied” and ”erased” by this space!

Lin Mo’s star Core revealed its truly terrifying side at this moment—defining an area and setting the rules: within this Domain, Nirvana is supreme, and all laws return to the source!

In an instant, the four Peak Golden Core Stage Shadow Demon Guards were completely wiped out!

This shocking scene not only caused the other demon cultivators rushing in from a distance to stop in horror, but even the Nascent Soul Demon General in the Bone Tower let out a low growl of uncertainty. That kind of power had already exceeded his understanding, carrying a fearsome Aura that touched the world’s Origin!

Taking advantage of this brief deterrent, the Starlight map on the altar completely solidified. The ”rainbow path” consisting of Starlight points was incredibly clear, and one could even see the energy strength markings of several key nodes along the path.

At the same time, on the body of the falling star monument, the pure Starlight echoing the altar also stabilized. Although still surrounded by filthy blood vessels, it stubbornly shot down a soft pillar of Starlight only wide enough for one person to pass through, perfectly enveloping the center of the altar!

The reverse flow rainbow path... has opened an entrance! Though tiny and extremely unstable, it had truly opened!

”Go!” Lin Mo’s intent came through, carrying an unmistakable exhaustion. His ball of light had dimmed by more than half; clearly, that last move had consumed far more than imagined.

The gate of hope was right before their eyes!

But it was also the most dangerous moment! The Nascent Soul Demon General would never allow them to leave!

”Ants! Don’t even think about it!” The tower exploded, and a tall demonic shadow wearing hideous Purple-black Bone Armor and holding a giant axe burning with Nether Fire finally appeared in person! With one step, he crossed hundreds of yards, his terrifying Aura pressing down like a tsunami. He raised his giant axe, vowing to smash the entire altar along with the people inside into fragments!

It was a true race between life and death!

”Senior Brother Nangong! Take everyone and go!” Su Muxue forced out her last bit of strength. The zhenyuan sword let out a mournful hum, as she was about to forcibly burn her Origin again to deploy the ice-sealed Star Domain to stop him!

”No!” Nangong Xuan grabbed her, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. ”Let’s go together!”

He suddenly looked at the Crystal Cluster Remnants by the altar who had resolute gazes and shouted, ”Inject all your power into the altar! Stabilize the passage! Buy us three breaths of time!”

The remnants did not hesitate. All the survivors, young and old, pressed their palms firmly against the altar, even biting their tongues to spit out Essence Blood containing their Stellar Bloodline! A faint Starlight lit up once more, flowing into the altar, and the descending Starlight pillar seemed to solidify by a microscopic amount.

”Lin Mo!” Nangong Xuan shouted.

Without needing words, Lin Mo’s ball of light plunged into the altar’s Core. The power of the Source Flame of Return to Ruin was not for attacking but for frantically ”devouring” the unstable, chaotic energy within the light pillar passage—especially the filthy power trying to erode its way in—forcibly ”purifying” and ”stabilizing” this fragile path!

”Go!” Nangong Xuan pushed the weakened Su Muxue into the Starlight pillar and followed immediately after!

Just as their figures were swallowed by the light pillar—

The Nascent Soul Demon General’s world-splitting giant axe had already struck! Before the terrifying blade even landed, its fearsome sharp Qi caused the altar to shake violently, and cracks appeared on its surface!

It was a critical moment!

All the remnants closed their eyes, preparing to meet death.

However, the expected destruction did not come.

The giant axe was seen just an instant before striking the altar; the Nether Fire burning on the blade weirdly... went out! No, it didn’t just go out; it was as if the very essence of its combustion was instantly ”decomposed” by some power! Even the terrifying physical force capable of splitting mountains was rapidly ”dissipated” and ”returned to the void” as it neared a certain range around the altar!

It was Lin Mo! At the final moment of entering the passage, he had left his last bit of power around the altar, forming a brief ”Absolute Nirvana Domain”!

Though it could only be maintained for an instant, it was enough!

The power of the giant axe was greatly weakened, and finally, with a ”bang,” it only caused the altar to shake violently and break off a corner, failing to completely destroy it!

By now, Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue’s figures had already blurred within the Starlight pillar, about to be teleported away!

”Dammit!!!” The Nascent Soul Demon General was beyond furious, raising his giant axe again and gathering even more terrifying power!

But just then—

Rumble!!!

The entire falling star monument underwent an unprecedentedly violent tremor! The dark purple blood vessels on the monument’s body writhed frantically, their brightness surging as if they had reached a critical point! A chaotic, violent, and destruction-filled terrifying will completely awakened, sweeping across the entire base like a tide!

The monument’s pollution... was completely out of control! It was no longer controlled by the Dark Flame City Formation, becoming a terrifying source that indiscriminately emitted pollution and destruction!

”No—!” This time, it was the Nascent Soul Demon General’s turn to let out a roar of shock and anger. He could no longer bother with chasing Nangong Xuan and the others, hurriedly turning back to try and stabilize the Formation; otherwise, the first to suffer would be Dark Flame City itself!

Amidst this extreme Chaos, the Starlight pillar flashed brightly, and the figures of Nangong Xuan, Su Muxue, Lin Mo, and the last few Crystal Cluster Remnants clinging to the altar completely disappeared!

The next moment, a torrent of terrifyingly filthy energy erupted from within the monument, like a black tsunami, instantly swallowing everything on the base!

The altar shattered inch by inch within the filthy torrent, turning into dust.

The Nascent Soul Demon General’s roars and the screams of the Dark Flame City demon cultivators were all drowned out by the roar of destruction.

Inside the reverse flow rainbow path, Nangong Xuan held the weakened Su Muxue tightly, and Lin Mo’s ball of light floated dimly by his shoulder. They were being enveloped by a powerful, distorted Stellar Power, rushing upward against a bizarre and kaleidoscopic passage filled with spatial turbulence!

Behind them was the monument’s out-of-control eruption and the chaotic Dark Flame City army.

Ahead of them was the unknown surface world and the still-perilous rainbow path journey.

The star fire has been lit, and the rainbow path has opened, but the true test may have only just begun.
