On the day the Heaven and Earth Array took shape.
All darkness and void within the array began to be refined under the scorching sun, curling and condensing into the world's origin.
If light cannot illuminate the darkness, then use fire!
The void felt an unprecedented crisis, its voice no longer calm.
Under intense scorching, it seemed to feel a constantly burning sun wrapped inside its body!
No, there are nine of them!
"You're mad, to come up with such a method, you must be insane!"
"Mad? So what if we're mad? As long as we can bite a chunk out of you, the invader, what does it matter if we're all mad?"
"Courting death!" The void was enraged, it began to attack the nine blazing suns indiscriminately. Each sun was the array's eyes, if it could corrode any one of them, it could destroy the Heaven and Earth Array and stop it from refining and killing.
Within the array's eyes were the nine great powerhouses of the World of Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart.
Facing devouring, they remained silent, unmoved.
At the moment the array formed, they had already come to terms with the sacrifice.
Su Girl's features were devoured by the void, turning into a terrifying creature without a face.
The Immortal Emperor's head was severed, leaving only half his body still standing there, holding the Immortal Sword, refusing to retreat.
Shennong was already dying, feeling the end of his life approaching, he decisively swallowed a deadly world poison he found not long ago, Duanchang. Its toxicity was so fierce, even he, a Tier Nine powerhouse, dared not try.
Devouring works both ways, it can consume both the good and the bad.
Before Shennong was completely devoured by the void, the poison he took spread into the void's body.
In the endless darkness, the void's voice, full of shock and anger, revealed a hint of panic and frustration.
"Since I have seen the threshold, you should know I can fathom the means against the origin. Everyone chooses different ways to cross that threshold, but the essence doesn't change, with this array, I'll cut off half of your origin! Making you unable to break through Tier Nine in endless years!"
Even with half a body, the Immortal Emperor's voice sounded clear.
In the next moment, the nine suns burst out the brightest and most scorching light, burning away the darkness of the whole sky.
...
"Li Shutong, you're truly aged."
The darkness faded away, one human and three insects resumed their positions.
The voice from the endless darkness hinted at exhaustion.
The Blood Puppet Mad Beast lost an arm.
Yin's left eye was swollen shut, unable to open.
Surrounded, Li Shutong staggered slightly, silently, without uttering a word, only the indescribably rich white mist seemed to become even denser.
"You have also glimpsed that threshold."
"Truly deserving of being the greatest war genius of the Human Race for millennia, even without the Contracted Spirit, still the Great Xia's number one War God."
"So, killing you makes me more excited." Said the Mad Beast.
Though the Tier Nine Insect Emperor is a formidable ruler, it rarely allies with others, as warfare among the Insect Race is akin to that of humans.
For them to choose alliance, each had their own interests.
The Tier Nine Insect Emperor Void desired to reclaim its lost origin from the Bodhi Treasure Tree.
As for the Blood Puppet Mad Beast, its goal was Li Shutong's flesh body shell. If it could devour Li Shutong's flesh body shell, it would surely, like the void, transcend Tier Nine!
With such temptation, who wouldn't be moved?
"Yin, your payment has been made in advance, how long will you hold back?"
Called out by the void, Yin chuckled softly.
He took out a translucent Exquisite Treasure Pearl from his embrace.
The pearl radiated a faint white glow, seemingly ethereal and dream-like, both illusionary and real.
This was his agreement to act, deliberately "gifting" the Bodhi Treasure Tree to Han Zhan, the payment, the Mirage Pearl!
A top treasure matching perfectly with his Illusion Skill talent!
With this treasure, it could further elevate its Tier Nine strength, and with ongoing understanding, under the Mirage Pearl's assistance, it would surely see that threshold, embarking on its own path of transcendence!
Under Yin's urging, the Mirage Pearl levitated above the head.
Veiled and gauzy light enveloped the entire sea, illusion and reality, shape and form.
Within the range that the Mirage Pearl covered, everything Yin conjured with Illusion Skill became completely real!
In an instant, several terrifying auras emerged on the battlefield, these were recorded Tier Nine Insect Emperor auras seen by Yin before.
The original 1v3 situation suddenly turned into one versus many.
The situation was on the brink.
...
World of Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart, Celestial Palace.
Han Zhan felt like he'd watched a great movie, and in blu-ray HD.
The ending was magnificent, yet immensely satisfying.
The powerhouses of this world successfully safeguarded the World of Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart, not only preserving the origin but also cutting off half of the void's origin, greatly reducing its realm.
The void departed in disgrace, the nine blazing suns dissipated into the horizon.
Only the singular origin merged into one, transforming into a new sun high in the sky.
"So this is the world's truth, the world isn't destroyed, the powers vanished, and the formidable foes retreated. Perhaps this is the best outcome." Han Zhan murmured.
Until now, he hadn't seen the parts concerning curses and illness.
At this moment, he looked up at the sun high in the sky, squinting slightly due to being in the Celestial Palace.
Because of the circumstances, against the light, he vaguely saw a miniature Heaven and Earth Array within the sun.
"The array hasn't disappeared?" Han Zhan was bewildered, "So the Nine Yang Array continuously envelops this world! For what?"
In his musings, suddenly inspiration struck.
Simultaneously, three pill formulas he carried left his body, floating into the air.
Under the sun's radiance, three pill formulas melted, combined into one, becoming the completely new pill formula, the legendary fourth formula, "Nine Revolutions Pill"!
The heavens have nine suns, one wheel nine revolutions.
Nine Revolutions return to oneness, creating life.
"Materials for the Nine Revolutions Pill: the souls of nine Tier Nine powerhouses, and a purified world origin. Successor, this is our final gift to you."
Looking at the pill formula, Han Zhan understood thoroughly, what is "death isn't a curse, reincarnation isn't the end."
The severed void origin rose with the sun, it stemmed from the void, filled with evil and cursed aura.
With the Nine Yang as an array, refining it requires a prolonged process, to shorten this course, they chose the entire world.
Thus the world ails.
The people living in this world all bear a part of the curse.
They are born and die incessantly.
With the cycles of life and death of millions, such magnitude to cleanse the void origin.
Those ants the void wouldn't glance at, finally succeeded in purifying its origin, such ironic yet theatrical scene, is the truth behind the curse!
Han Zhan knew this truth, deeply shocked.
Now the Nine Revolutions Pill is complete, truth and secrets revealed, once the elixir is refined and taken, he can leave this world and return to reality.
Regardless if it was the Immortal Emperor or Shennong, both possessed talents pivotal for any world, standing at the pinnacle.
Their intellect, methods, talents far surpassed the ordinary.
Yet regretfully, how has heaven scorned me?
Knowing the truth, it's lamentable.
But they, successfully protected their beloved world!
