I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1224 - 463: Empress: I’m Not Friends With You Anymore! Breaking the Grand Formation, Absorbing the Origin! (Part 2)

Have I persisted for so long only to meet my end?

At that moment, Chen Mo, who had been in a state of meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them.

"Heaven and Earth are positioned, mountains and lakes connect energy, thunder and wind intersect, water and fire counteract... I’ve finally calculated it. It’s actually four arrays arranged in reverse of the Five Elements. No wonder I couldn’t find the life gate!"

"To bear Heaven and carry Earth, Kun Yuan establishes the ground!"

He tossed the Xuanhuang Pearl toward the northeast, and the Glazed Treasure Pearl spun rapidly in the air, unleashing an endless stream of yellow sand that transformed into towering pillars, lifting the array plate upwards.

"Evil flames return to truth, Li Fire burns the void!"

The Mystic Fire Treasure Mirror hung in the north, and fierce flames surged from the mirror, as if wanting to scorch the air dry.

"Gui Water returns to its source, Kan Water traces the path!"

The Profound Ming Jade flew toward the south, transforming into raging waves, surging like a terrifying tide!

These three forces intertwined and continuously impacted the array plate, causing the brilliance of the engraved letters to abruptly extinguish, dissipating the immense pressure along with it.

"One of the array hubs of the four features was missing, which delayed things a bit, but ultimately it was unraveled." Chen Mo glanced at the Female Demon’s tragic appearance, his brows twitching slightly, and murmured, "Qingyi, you’ve worked hard."

"Not hard at all." The Female Demon replied earnestly, "I am the essence of Heaven and Earth, I can’t die, but if you die, I will have no friends."

Upon hearing these words, Chen Mo fell silent for a while.

Moments later, his lips moved slightly, "Actually, I’m not..."

"I know." The Female Demon interrupted, "There’s residue of his aura here, it seems his luck wasn’t great enough, and he couldn’t survive after all."

Chen Mo froze upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Since you knew, why did you still help me?"

"Because you really resemble him, and the Mystic Fire Treasure Mirror has also recognized you, indicating you’ve inherited his will..." The Female Demon blinked cautiously, "We’ve made a pinky promise, you’re not thinking of going back on it, are you?"

"..."

Chen Mo seemed to comprehend her thoughts.

Compared to her eternal lifespan, the lifespan of the Human Race is truly fleeting, like a spark that vanishes in an instant.

And the name "Sikong Che" is more of a symbol to her, a motivation resisting loneliness for thousands of years. If even this attachment no longer exists, how would she endure those empty times?

"Of course not, we’re lifelong friends." Chen Mo said solemnly.

The Female Demon then breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curving into an innocent smile, nodding forcefully, "Good friends, lifelong!"

Chen Mo considered using Vitality Essence to heal the Female Demon, but realized it wasn’t necessary at all. As the Spiritual Energy from the Earth Veins surged into her body, her shattered form healed in the span of breaths.

"If I’m not mistaken, the World Gate is hidden within this Sun and Moon Array Plate."

"If we delay further, there might be changes. It’s almost time to leave, but before departing, I certainly won’t let you off easily..."

Chen Mo gazed at the phantasmal shadow within the center of the array plate, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Wu Lie has been plotting for so long, waiting for this day. The Origin Power has already outlined the pneuma, but the Root Bone and flesh are yet to be filled. He absolutely cannot leave this thing to him!

Clang—

With a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Marrow Sword landed in his palm.

Dao Power surged within, rushing into the blade, causing the surrounding void to warp and shatter.

"Vanishing into void!"

He raised his sword and struck down, an invisible wave rippling outward, the space ahead tearing like a curtain, revealing a pitch-black foundation, spreading endlessly forward, abruptly colliding with the array plate!

Slash—

As if a hot knife slicing through butter, without the slightest resistance, the "Sun and Moon" above everyone was split in two!

Deprived of Heaven and Earth’s protection, the great array crumbled and shattered, vanishing completely amidst the roar!

Radiant sunlight poured down, the sky finally returned to its true form.

Two beams of light hovered mid-air.

One, deep like a black hole, was the World Gate to Jiu Zhou.

Beside it, another human-shaped shadow composed of myriad threads pulsed with iridescent hues, resembling a shell yet to fully form.

At this moment, the shell’s form flashed instantly, darting towards the World Gate.

"Hmph, attempting to flee?"

Chen Mo had been prepared long ago, threads of green light shot from between his fingers, weaving into a vast web in the sky, enveloping the shell within.

Upon contact with the green light, the shell suffered grievous strikes, trembled violently, and its silhouette dimmed noticeably.

After all, this thing possesses only instinct, lacking spirit intelligence. Despite having Origin Power, it doesn’t know how to wield it, merely scuttling aimlessly like a headless fly, incessantly depleting its own energy.

Chen Mo’s hands closed together, the net gradually tightened, intending to utterly destroy it.

Yet, the shell seemed to sense something, suddenly "looking" toward Chen Mo, then rapidly dis assembling, transforming into countless threads, slipping through the net’s gaps, directly entering his body!

?!

Chen Mo startled, fearing it had possessed him.

At that moment, the Empress’ voice sounded, "Don’t be tense, it’s a good thing."

Chen Mo calmed down, perceiving closely and indeed found nothing amiss.

The threads danced within the Spirit Platform, attaching themselves to the Golden Body Miniature, as if draping it in a multicolored robe.

"No Desire Buddha practices the path of reincarnation, Taoist Lord concerns Cause and Effect, as for Pei Fengmian, it’s fate and fortune..."

"Among them, Cause and Effect and fate and fortune naturally resonate with me, it’s no wonder I absorbed them. My ability to see Master Pei’s Illusory Vision earlier was likely for this very reason."

"Putting it this way, including the Returning Ruins, I now possess four kinds of Origin Power within me?"
