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

134: Chapter 134: The Evil Array Core and the Star Key’s LamentNirvana Dao Rhyme and Taiyin Starlight were like two sturdy ships breaking through turbid waves, violently crashing into the frantic tide of mars’s chaotic energy!

Nangong Xuan’s objective was clear, ignoring the controlled, demon-like Cultivators pouncing from below the platform. His figure was like lightning, heading straight for Qian Duobao on the high platform! A grey-black finger force shot out, containing the Nirvana True Intent that ends all things, instantly piercing through the chaotic evil light emitted by that evil-eye bronze mirror!

Crack! The bronze mirror let out a wail as countless cracks appeared on its surface, and the evil light abruptly scattered. Qian Duobao’s obese body shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror and disbelief. The Magic Treasure he relied on to show off his power was actually so vulnerable under the opponent’s single finger!

”You... who exactly are you people?!” Qian Duobao screamed and retreated, attempting to close that metal door again.

”The ones who stop you!” Nangong Xuan’s voice was icy, his offensive like a tide. A second finger followed closely, pointing straight at Qian Duobao’s brow, intending to annihilate his Divine Soul along with him!

However, just as the finger force was about to hit his body, a flash of resoluteness and madness suddenly shot through Qian Duobao’s eyes. He slammed his hand against his chest, and a crimson jade pendant hidden at his heart suddenly exploded!

Boom! A burst of mars Power, far more pure and violent than before, suddenly erupted, transforming into a crimson light cocoon that enveloped Qian Duobao. Nangong Xuan’s Impermanence Finger Force struck the cocoon, actually producing the sound of clashing metal; the cocoon fluctuated violently and cracks appeared, but it did not shatter immediately.

”Jie jie... the life-saving power bestowed by the Master, is it something you can easily break?!” Qian Duobao’s distorted, frantic laughter came from within the light cocoon. ”Since you’ve delivered yourselves to my door, then become the nourishment for the Master’s revival together!”

His hands formed a bizarre evil seal and slammed it onto the ground.

Countless blood-colored patterns instantly lit up on the entire palace floor, connecting with the evil Formation in the depths! Those Cultivators controlled by the power of Chaos who were pouncing toward Nangong Xuan’s duo suddenly stiffened, the crimson light in their eyes flaring up. The blood-qi and spiritual energy throughout their bodies actually began to burn frantically and uncontrollably, turning into streams of blood-colored energy that left their bodies. Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they accelerated toward the evil Formation behind the metal door!

”Aaaah!” Piercing screams rose and fell as those Cultivators withered at a visible speed, instantly reduced to dry bones, falling to the ground and crumbling!

And having received this supplement of massive blood-qi energy, the blood light of the evil Formation behind the metal door soared into the sky. The floating mars key’s rotation speed increased explosively, and the chaotic power it emitted suddenly strengthened by several times! The trace of icy grey-black color within it also clearly expanded, like ink dropped into clear water, accelerating the pollution of the star key!

Even more terrifying was that the evil Formation’s extraction speed from those imprisoned, unconscious Cultivators below also suddenly quickened, looking as if it would suck them completely dry in an instant!

”Mu Xue! Stop the evil Formation! I’ll deal with him!” Nangong Xuan shouted sternly, his offensive becoming even more urgent. His nirvana golden core operated at full power, and one after another, grey-black Dao patterns surfaced on his body as he pointed a finger at that crimson light cocoon once more!

Su Muxue had already taken action. Her movement was ethereal as she avoided several stray energy ripples. Her jade-like hands waved, and the Taiyin Moon-Edge Blades were like cold moonlight, precisely slashing toward the blood-colored energy chains connected to those unconscious Cultivators!

Chiii! The extreme yin and extreme cold of the Taiyin Star Power indeed had a restraining effect on that filthy blood-qi, and several chains snapped at the sound. But there were too many chains, and new blood-qi immediately gushed from the breaks, attempting to reconnect. As the entire evil Formation was strengthened, its operation became increasingly violent; simply slashing the chains was no longer enough to completely block the extraction!

She had to destroy the Core of the Formation eye!

Su Muxue’s beautiful eyes swept over the violent evil Formation, her gaze finally locking onto a dark red crystal directly beneath the mars key that was constantly gushing with vast blood-qi! That was the energy center of the entire Formation!

Without hesitation, her hands formed a seal, and the starlight imprint on her brow became as brilliant as the moon, channeling the power of the chaos star core in her bosom!

”Taiyin Silent Core, Ice-Sealing the Universe!”

She fused the Taiyin Star Power with the tranquil power of the jiyun star key and the extreme cold power of the xuanming true water star key from within the star Core, turning it into a grey-blue torrent of extreme cold that seemed capable of freezing time and space. Like the Silver River of the Nine Heavens pouring down, it went straight for that dark red Formation eye crystal!

Wherever it passed, the surging blood-qi energy was instantly frozen and solidified!

Boom! The extreme cold torrent slammed heavily into the dark red crystal!

The entire underground palace shook violently, and the light of the evil Formation suddenly dimmed! The surface of that dark red crystal was instantly covered in a thick layer of profound ice, and the blood-qi it gushed out was forcibly interrupted for a moment!

It was precisely this moment of interruption! The extraction force on those imprisoned Cultivators suddenly vanished. On the high platform, the crimson light cocoon enveloping Qian Duobao also dimmed abruptly because the energy supply had become unstable!

”Now!” A sharp glint flashed in Nangong Xuan’s eyes. The power of his Impermanence Finger Force increased by another thirty percent, and like piercing through a layer of window paper, it instantly poked through the dimmed light cocoon!

”No—!” Qian Duobao let out a desperate roar. His brow was instantly pierced, and his Divine Soul, along with that bit of mars’s protection power, was completely annihilated under the Nirvana Dao Rhyme! His obese body crashed to the ground.

On the other side, that dark red crystal was only temporarily frozen, not completely destroyed. Su Muxue’s full-strength strike had almost drained more than half of her Taiyin Star Power, and her face was as pale as paper.

The profound ice on the crystal’s surface was rapidly cracking under the impact of the evil Formation’s remaining power!

Even worse, the mars key, whose energy supply had been forcibly interrupted, seemed to be enraged! It shook violently, its crimson light flashing frantically, and that trace of grey-black qi suddenly expanded, dyeing nearly half of the star key black!

An even more terrifying will, a mixture of pure Chaos and icy devouring, erupted from the star key like a sleeping Vicious Beast being completely startled awake!

”Ants... how dare you... stop me...”

An icy, raspy thought, filled with endless malice and greed, did not come through sound but resounded directly in the depths of Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue’s Sea of Consciousness!

This wasn’t Qian Duobao, nor was it a simple star key instinct! This was... a twisted evil spirit produced after the erosion of the dark side! Or rather, it was a Clone manifested by the will of the dark side using the power of the mars key!

Buzz—!

The metal door was completely blown open! A storm of energy interwoven with crimson and black swept out, instantly forcing Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue at the doorway back several steps!

That mars key slowly floated out from the cave, suspending in the air of the great hall. Beneath it, the profound ice on the surface of the dark red crystal exploded, and even more surging blood-qi poured into the star key, causing the pressure it emitted to climb steadily, almost reaching the threshold of the Nascent Soul Stage!

And those unconscious Cultivators who had not yet been sucked dry withered even faster, looking as if they would lose their lives completely!

”The Formation eye must be destroyed!” Su Muxue said urgently.

Nangong Xuan’s gaze was as cold as iron. He glanced at the rampaging crimson-black star key, then at the Formation eye crystal that was constantly providing energy.

Suddenly, he made a decision.

He did not attack the star key, nor did he attack the Formation eye; instead, he suddenly sacrificed the chaos star core in his hand!

”Lin Mo! Help me! Devour that Formation eye’s power!”

The chaos star core received the command and suddenly erupted with an unprecedented devouring power! That trace of ’Return to the Void’ true intent rotated at an unprecedented speed, transforming into a miniature black hole. It did not charge at the mars key but instead violently covered the dark red Formation eye crystal!

The star Core’s purpose was actually to forcibly devour the energy source of the entire evil Formation!

”Seeking death!” The evil spirit within the mars key let out an angry roar, and a crimson-black pillar of destruction light blasted directly toward the chaos star core!

Nangong Xuan was already prepared. His figure flashed, blocking the front of the star Core! The power of the zhenyu star key erupted at full strength, mixing with the Nirvana Dao Rhyme to transform into a heavy, dark-gold shield!

Boom!!! The destruction light pillar slammed heavily into the shield! Nangong Xuan’s whole body shook violently, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. The shield distorted intensely, but it stubbornly withstood this strike comparable to a Nascent Soul!

And in this brief interval! The black hole formed by the chaos star core had already successfully enveloped the dark red crystal!

Buzz—! The incomparably vast, filthy, and violent blood-qi energy was forcibly pulled into the star Core like a bursting dam! The light on the star Core’s surface flashed frantically, six colors circulating, and it vibrated violently as if it could not bear such a massive and evil energy impact!

”...Hold on... purify...” Lin Mo’s pained yet determined thought came from within. Inside the star Core, the trace of balance power from the newly integrated twin glazed lamp, the life-and-death intent of the Netherworld Balsa, and the Origin of the Nirvana Dao Rhyme were all operating frantically, attempting to transform and purify this massive amount of filthy blood-qi!

The Formation eye was forcibly devoured, the light of the evil Formation rapidly dimmed, and the extraction of the unconscious Cultivators stopped completely. That mars key lost the support of the ground energy, and the pressure it erupted suddenly dropped by a notch!

Now! Su Muxue forced out her last bit of strength. Her Taiyin Star Power turned into a pure stream, not to attack, but to entwine around the mars key, attempting to temporarily isolate its connection with the outside world and purify that dense chaotic power.

Nangong Xuan also lunged forward again, his Impermanence Finger Force pointing directly at the star key’s body!

However, the evil spirit within the star key let out a sharp sneer.

”Foolish! How could you know the great power of ’Darkness’!”

The grey-black color on the star key’s surface suddenly surged, instantly overwhelming the crimson light! A cold, deathly, all-devouring power of ”nothingness” erupted, easily tearing apart Su Muxue’s Taiyin Star Power entanglement, and then violently met Nangong Xuan’s Impermanence Finger Force!

Two forces, both representing ”the end,” slammed together!

Chiii—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a heart-palpitating annihilation, as if all things were returning to nothingness!

Nangong Xuan’s Impermanence Finger Force was actually being devoured and dissolved bit by bit by that icy ”nothingness” power!

The power of the dark side, in terms of level, actually seemed to be above his Nirvana Dao Rhyme!

Nangong Xuan groaned, his figure flying backward. His fingertips became pitch black, and that icy nothingness power even tried to erode into his body along his arm!

”Senior Brother!” Su Muxue cried out in alarm.

The mars key suspended in the air, its entire body turned grey-black, with only a single point of crimson at the Core still stubbornly flashing, as if the star key itself was also resisting that complete erosion. That evil spirit let out a triumphant roar, about to launch another attack.

Just then—

The chaos star core, which had been frantically devouring the evil Formation’s energy, suddenly went still for an instant.

Immediately following, it erupted with an unprecedented, Chaos-colored radiance!

It had actually really forcibly digested that massive amount of filthy blood-qi and transformed the essence within into a vast, upright, and peaceful energy feedback. Most of it was injected into the bodies of those dying, unconscious Cultivators below, stabilizing their life force; a small portion surged toward Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue, restoring their consumption!

And the star Core itself, after undergoing this extreme devouring and purification, seemed to have its ’Return to the Void’ true intent grow by a trace, the aura it emitted becoming even more ancient and profound.

It wobbled as it flew up, blocking the space between Nangong Xuan’s duo and that mars key dominated by the dark side.

On the surface of the star Core, Lin Mo’s phantom appeared with difficulty, his thought incomparably firm:

”Its power... originates from devouring and Chaos... do not compete with it in ’ending’... use ’order’... use ’suppression’!”

Nangong Xuan understood instantly!

Nirvana is an ending, a form of nothingness. And the dark side is a more pure, more original nothingness and devouring! To clash head-on with it using his not-yet-majorly-achieved Nirvana Dao Rhyme was like a stream flowing into the ocean!

Only the ”suppression,” ”stabilization,” and ”order” of the zhenyu star key were the more effective powers to counter this ”Chaos” and ”nothingness”!

He immediately withdrew his Nirvana Dao Rhyme and fully communicated with the zhenyu star key within his Dantian!

A heavy, earthy-yellow radiance erupted from his body, as condensed and stable as the earth! One after another, invisible chains of Law surfaced around him, emitting a vast will that suppressed all Chaos and stabilized the order of heaven and earth!

The icy nothingness power that had been trying to erode his arm, under this earth-sealing power, was like meeting its nemesis, being rapidly forced out and dissipated!

Nangong Xuan stepped forward, standing side-by-side with the chaos star core. His gaze locked onto that grey-black star key, and his hands slowly rose as if lifting the entire earth.

”Zhen—Yu—!”

His low voice was like a decree from the ancient earth.

Rumble! The entire underground palace, and even the Duobao Pavilion above, began to shake violently! Endless earth power was channeled, penetrating through layers of space and converging in front of Nangong Xuan, transforming into an incomparably huge phantom of a divine mountain inscribed with countless mountain runes!

The divine mountain phantom, carrying an irresistible heaviness and stability, slowly pressed down toward that rampaging mars key!
