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

205: Chapter 205: Devouring Evil and Tracing its Origins, and the First Manifestation of the SpiritualThat roar, filled with malice and greed, did not travel through the air but exploded directly in the depths of the three’s Sea of Consciousness, shaking their Divine Souls and making their blood and Qi surge! Before them, the massive Ancestor Wood of Corruption opened countless distorted faces on its trunk simultaneously, their void-like mouths spewing thick, ink-like pitch-black evil mist that swept toward them like a tsunami!

Everywhere the evil mist passed, the already desolate ground instantly lost all life, turning into powder. Even the air was completely polluted and assimilated. The corrosive power that drained life and spiritual energy suddenly increased more than tenfold!

”Retreat!”

Nangong Xuan shouted sternly, not daring to be negligent. His Nirvana Sword Domain expanded instantly, and the greyish Sword Intent enveloped the three, forcibly Cutting through the evil mist that lunged close. However, the evil mist was endless, heavy, and viscous, frantically corroding and wearing down the power of the Sword Domain; the consumption was far greater than when dealing with those polluted ancient trees before!

Su Muxue’s moon wheel hung high, and her Taiyin Star Power transformed into layers of ice crystal veils, continuously freezing and purifying the evil mist on the flanks, but the ice crystals were quickly blackened and shattered. Zi Linger gave a soft cry, and her Life Force transformed into countless tough emerald vines that burst from the ground, attempting to construct a barrier. However, the vines withered and charred as soon as they touched the evil mist, and the backlash caused blood to overflow from the corners of her mouth again.

The power of this Ancestor Wood of Corruption far exceeded any enemy they had encountered before, likely approaching the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Even more terrifying was the pervasive corrosive and polluting nature of its power attribute!

”We can’t face it head-on! Its Core has been completely polluted; the entire Ancestral Wood has become its weapon and amplifier!” Nangong Xuan instantly judged the situation, struggling to maintain the Sword Domain while retreating rapidly.

However, the evil mist was like a living thing, pursuing them relentlessly and closing in from all directions, seemingly about to swallow the three completely!

Just then—

The chaos star core, which had been silent in Nangong Xuan’s bosom, seemed to be completely activated by this extremely dense, foul aura, suddenly erupting with an unprecedented desire and... anger?

Yes, an extremely subtle yet incredibly clear feeling of anger was transmitted from the depths of the star Core, seemingly mixed with a dissatisfied mutter from Lin Mo’s sleeping consciousness?

Buzz!!!

The chaos star core flew out of Nangong Xuan’s bosom on its own, hovering above the three’s heads. The dark gold patterns on its surface flowed frantically at an unprecedented speed, instantly forming a massive, rotating Chaos vortex!

This time, it was no longer a gentle force field or the indiscriminate devouring Domain from its previous eruption, but... a highly targeted, violent absorption!

Like a whale swallowing water, or a bottomless abyss opening its giant maw, the pitch-black evil mist sweeping across the sky was uncontrollably pulled, torn apart, and swallowed by that Chaos vortex!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

The scene was spectacular as the evil mist in the sky turned into black torrents, frantically surging into the star Core, which was only the size of a fist! The dark gold patterns on the star Core’s surface were blindingly bright, and inside, it felt as if Chaos thunder was roaring, frantically grinding and digesting that massive amount of foul energy.

The Ancestor Wood of Corruption seemed stunned by this sudden turn of events, and its terrifying roar faltered. It instinctively felt a suppression from a higher rank and... a threat like that of a natural enemy!

”Now is the time! Attack its roots! Stop it from draining the Earth Vein Spiritual Breath!” Although Nangong Xuan was also shocked by the star Core’s autonomous eruption again, his combat instincts allowed him to immediately seize this fleeting opportunity!

He no longer held back. His ancient sword unsheathed, and his Nirvana Sword Intent was raised to the limit. Mixed with the balanced power of the four keys, it transformed into a grey, desolate rainbow that tore through the gloom, fiercely slashing toward those exposed, frantically writhing pitch-black roots!

Su Muxue and Zi Linger also immediately cooperated with all their might. The moon wheel turned into a cold flash of light, and Taiyin Extinction Divine Needles shot toward the root connections like a rainstorm! Zi Linger poured her Life Force into the ground without reservation, communicating with the Earth Vein Spiritual Breath that hadn’t been fully polluted, frantically impacting and interfering with the ancestral roots’ absorption!

Crack! Boom!

Under the combined fierce attack of the three, several of the thickest pitch-black roots snapped, and a large amount of foul, black, blood-like slime gushed from the breaks! The Ancestor Wood of Corruption let out an even more painful and angry roar. Its entire trunk shook violently, and countless shadow spikes shaped like branches and leaves (though already bare) shot toward the three like a rainstorm!

But at this moment, the chaos star core’s devouring became their most solid shield! Most of the shadow spikes and the subsequent evil mist were forcibly sucked away by the star Core, and the few that slipped through were blocked by the Sword Domain and the two women’s defenses.

The star Core seemed insatiable, its devouring speed getting faster and faster, even beginning to actively extract the foul Origin hidden within the Ancestral Wood’s trunk! On that thick trunk, countless distorted faces showed expressions of terror. They struggled but could not stop the loss of their own power!

Nangong Xuan keenly noticed that as the star Core frantically devoured the foul Origin, a faint, withered yellow but pure woody luster began to occasionally flicker on the surface of the pitch-black, writhing trunk. Though it vanished in a flash, it truly existed!

”This Ancestral Wood isn’t completely dead! A trace of spirituality in its Core is still struggling!” Nangong Xuan’s heart stirred, and he immediately changed his strategy. ”Mu Xue, Linger, help me! Don’t destroy it completely; try to purify it! Help it regain control!”

He once again activated his Nirvana Sword Intent, but this time, it was no longer pure destruction. Instead, he integrated a trace of the nourishing power of the water star key and the void-encompassing intent of the phantom star key into it, transforming it into streaks of grey-blue Sword Gang containing the Concept of ”Nirvana Rebirth.” He precisely slashed toward the Core pollution nodes of the roots and trunk, attempting to sever the evil connections rather than destroying the body itself.

Hearing this, Su Muxue immediately transformed her Taiyin Star Power into a cooler moonlight with greater purification efficacy, sprinkling it down like sweet dew. Zi Linger bit her fingertip and used her Wood Spirit essence blood as a medium, transforming her purest Life Force into countless fine green light threads. Like a surgical procedure, they probed into the Ancestral Wood’s wounds, struggling to dispel the stubborn filth.

The chaos star core also seemed to understand Nangong Xuan’s intention. Its devouring became more selective, mainly targeting the densest and most active foul power. For the Ancestral Wood’s own weak Origin spirituality, it instead showed a hint of protection.

Under the combined efforts of the three parties (attack, purification, and devouring), the Ancestor Wood of Corruption’s resistance began to gradually weaken. The pitch-black color on the trunk seemed to fade slightly, and the roars of those distorted faces turned into powerless wails. The frantic extraction of Earth Vein Spiritual Breath slowed down significantly.

Just as the situation was gradually improving, another change occurred!

Perhaps sensing that the ”stronghold” it had cultivated was being taken back, the ”dark side” will lurking in the deepest part of the Ancestral Wood’s Core, which shared the same source as the Northern Dark Abyss, launched a final counterattack!

An extremely cold, deathly, and absolutely malicious intent, like an invisible spike, suddenly erupted from the Ancestral Wood’s Core. Ignoring all physical defenses, it stabbed directly into the three’s Sea of Consciousness! Simultaneously, all the foul power that had not yet been purified began to compress inward frantically, preparing for a final self-destruction in an attempt to completely annihilate the entire Ancestral Wood Forest along with Nangong Xuan and the others!

”Watch out for the Divine Soul attack!” The phantom star key and the nirvana true seal fragment in Nangong Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness automatically protected their master, erupting with silver-grey light and barely withstanding the terrifying mental impact, but he still felt a splitting headache.

Su Muxue and Zi Linger cried out, their faces turning pale instantly and their eyes becoming vacant; they had clearly suffered heavy blows!

And the foul energy ball compressing inward emitted a suffocating wave of destruction!

At the critical moment—

The chaos star core suddenly stopped devouring. At its center, a point of spiritual light suddenly lit up—it was Lin Mo’s sleeping consciousness, completely startled by this extreme malice and crisis!

A cold snort, youthful yet containing supreme majesty, resounded through the void once again!

Along with this cold snort, all the dark gold patterns on the star Core’s surface instantly collapsed and reorganized, transforming into a complex Chaos Rune that seemed to contain the principles of the Universe’s birth and death!

The rune flashed, and a grey, seemingly unremarkable beam of light arrived first, precisely shooting into the Core of the about-to-explode foul energy ball!

There was no explosion, no loud noise.

The terrifying foul energy, compressed to its limit, was silently... annihilated the moment it was struck by the grey light, like a bubble being pricked.

Along with it, that trace of the ”dark side” will contained within also turned into nothingness.

It was as if it had never existed.

Everything settled.

The Ancestor Wood of Corruption stopped trembling, and the pitch-black color on the trunk faded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although it was still full of scars and withered, that writhing and the evil whispers completely disappeared. A faint but incredibly pure sprout struggled to emerge from a wound near the top of the main trunk, emitting a dim, life-filled spiritual light.

The drainage of the Primal Spiritual Breath stopped. Even a few faint, pure wisps of spiritual breath began to emanate from the Ancestral Wood once again.

The chaos star core’s light dimmed, and it slowly fell back into Nangong Xuan’s hand, becoming silent once more. However, the storm brewing inside it seemed to have calmed down significantly, and it fed back a pure, gentle, special energy with the fragrance of vegetation, quickly nourishing the three’s damaged Divine Souls and bodies.

Nangong Xuan panted heavily, looking at the peaceful star Core in his hand, then at the Ancestral Wood that had survived the disaster and begun to show a faint sign of life, his heart surging with waves of emotion.

What exactly was Lin Mo’s cold snort? And what level of power was that Chaos Rune that the star Core erupted with at the end?

Did ”the dark side” seem to pay special ”attention” to them, or rather, to Lin Mo and the star Core?
