Chapter 730 Burning Essence and Sacrificing Blood to Illuminate the Heroic Spirit
The chilling demonic energy seeped into Yu Jue's body through the Jingyang Bell, and a dark shadow immediately flashed across his handsome face.

The foundation of the Martial Confucian lineage lies in its righteous spirit, and the martial intent it manifests is so pure that it is almost domineering, seeking it within itself and not relying on external things.

From this perspective, Wu Ru's body is the most effective counter to the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon is formless, while the Martial Scholar has a physical form. The Heavenly Demon feeds on the desires of others, while the Martial Scholar relies on its own righteous energy to survive. These two systems are diametrically opposed.

However, Yu Jue is not a pure martial arts scholar.

From a certain perspective, he is also a "creator" similar to the "True Lord of Peace" in the past.

Compared to a pure martial arts scholar like Qingyu Shou, he has an innate deficiency.

This deficiency was once a kind of "advantage," but now it has become blatantly obvious.

Su Che, observing from the sidelines, saw everything clearly.

Unfortunately, this Yushan chief was completely unaware of the situation.

Yu Jue's cultivation in the path of spiritual ignorance is far too lacking.

He lacked that unique "distinctiveness" that belongs to humans. Just like the Jade Hand he had seen before, although the martial arts scholar from White Deer Cave was dead, his fist intent and his moves left a vivid impression on Su Che.

That is a personal "trait," a person's "true nature" that cannot be hidden.

In comparison, this headmaster is far inferior.

It was so bad that Su Che had to think twice.

This also made Su Che realize that his ultimate opponent might not be as simple as Bailudong.

Or rather, Bailudong was merely a pawn in the hands of the enemy.

As they grow stronger, their enemies are forced to reveal their true intentions, and their true forms become increasingly clear.

The demonic energy was not only eroding Yu Jue's body, but also changing everything in the Heavenly Court.

The eyes of the already formed fire gods grew increasingly dark, and their expressions became more ferocious and malevolent.

A roar.

The halberd in the hand of the Fire Goddess, trailing a crimson light, pierced through the chest of the Fire Goddess. The Fire Goddess, wielding a crimson dragon, turned and bit the Flying Smoke True Lord, who was about to bite the neck of the Fire Goddess.

The Heavenly Demon, trapped and locked in this immortal abode for countless years, had long since lost its intelligence, leaving only a fierce and savage nature.

Heaven and Hell are separated by only a moment.

At this moment, the entire Earth Official Immortal Palace was already covered by layers of demonic shadows, and the power that maintained the operation of the Immortal Palace finally revealed its true nature.

At this moment, Yu Jue was at the center of countless heavenly demons.

The raging and uncontrollable demonic intent, following the Jingyang Emperor Bell which had become the nexus of the Heavenly Court, continuously poured into his body.

In a short while, eerie green light began to wander within Yu Jue's body, and his eyes were now filled with a fierce intensity.

Possessed by the devil.

But it only lasted a moment.

"help me……"

He looked at Su Che not far away. At this moment, the only one who could save him amidst the myriad demonic lights and shadows was his enemy.

"So many disciples of White Deer Cave have now all suffered this calamity."

Su Che's voice was calm, as if White Deer Cave was no longer his enemy.

In the distance, at this moment, in every corner of the Earth Official Immortal Mansion, there were countless Heavenly Demon Realms being generated, which were the result of the Heavenly Demons hunting down the disciples of White Deer Cave.

In such a wave, even those at the Void Stepping level might not be able to escape with their lives, let alone those at the Core Formation and Divine Connection levels.
All the disciples of Bailudong who entered the Earth Official Immortal Mansion were corrupted by the Heavenly Demon. Some of them had become puppets inhabited by the Heavenly Demon, and their essence and blood were sent into the illusion created by the Heavenly Demon, becoming the Heavenly Demon's feast.

Su Che stroked the nameless longsword, his figure elusive, like a wisp of dark cloud. The sword intent of creation formed a barrier, keeping the shadows of those heavenly demons at bay.

If any demon attempts to invade, it will be crushed by the sword intent and turned into a wisp of smoke as soon as it enters within three miles of Su Che.

Three li around his body—that's the limit Su Che can reach right now.

"help me……"

Yu Jue groaned.

Over countless years, the demonic thoughts accumulated within this immortal abode poured forth like a flood towards the jade pendant.

His meticulously designed Dao foundation and near-perfect physical body have now become delicacies in the mouths of the Heavenly Demon.

The thirst that has accumulated over millennia has finally been satisfied today, so how could the endless demons possibly give up?

In this feast of the Heavenly Demon, the Jade Pendant's interior was gradually devoured by the Heavenly Demon, leaving only its "outer shell," which it was barely maintaining.

Su Che looked at the jade pendant, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.

Everything was predetermined by fate, and everything was self-inflicted.

If it weren't for the Jingyang Emperor Bell, if it weren't for this Immortal Abode, if it weren't for the Jade Jade's almost endless extraction of the Earth Official Immortal Abode's power...

He would never have fallen to such a state.

But if he abandons the Jingyang Emperor Bell, how could he possibly be his match?

Interlocking.

"You...you can't escape either."

Yu Jue was panting.

"This is a trap set for you. Don't you understand? Once you enter this immortal abode, the True Spirit Position Chart will be your eternal shackle. Once the void passage is severed, you will never be able to escape the Blood River Realm, and you will never be able to achieve anything."

In his eyes, demonic intent almost completely consumed everything, leaving only a faint trace of clarity.

At this moment, Yu Jue was almost corrupted by demonic influence. With the demonic intent pouring in, he had become a slave to the countless demons in this immortal palace.

"You, never, ever could..."

"I know."

Su Che looked at the jade pendant.

"you……"

"I do not care."

Su Che said softly. He moved and floated towards the Jingyang Emperor Bell, which was heavily tainted by demonic energy.

A surge of magical power flowed through him, and Su Che connected his own aura with the Jingyang Bell.

whimper……

The Jingyang Emperor Bell let out a mournful cry, seemingly because it had been snatched by Su Che, and also seemingly because it had been corrupted by the thousands of demons.

"What are you going to do?"

Yu Jue looked up at Su Che in the sky.

Su Che's magical power had already connected with the Jingyang Bell, and at the same time, it also attracted the vast demonic intent of countless heavenly demons.

The demonic energy entered his body, and his already injured body was now stained with a layer of demonic fire.

However, Su Che also connected to the deepest core of the Jingyang Bell.

So that's how it is. This magical artifact has lost its primordial spirit. Perhaps the ancient war was too brutal, or perhaps some unforeseen event occurred later. This magical artifact, which once gave birth to a primordial spirit, has lost its original spirituality.

Deep within this magical artifact lies nothingness.

No wonder he fell into the hands of such people. Under the influence of demonic intent, Su Che could already feel his true essence constantly draining away...

Even Su Che found it difficult to withstand the almost endless Heavenly Demons within the Earthly Official Immortal Mansion.

That ferocious, hungry demonic intent truly existed outside his own domain.

Su Che knew that the step he had taken was unwise.

The Jingyang Bell has now become the core of the Heavenly Demon's infiltration of the entire Immortal Mansion. Once it is touched, it is tantamount to giving up one's original victory and heading towards a defeat with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death.

But Su Che still took that step.

Because a thought was urging me on.

He didn't want the Jingyang Bell to fall into obscurity, so he used the invasion of the Boundless Heavenly Demon as the final act.

This idea is ridiculous.

The ancient Heavenly Court and the Five Emperors of the Five Directions were clearly irrelevant to him.

Even this small world, the entire world, has nothing to do with him.

I am just a passerby who came here by chance.

Those are not my stories.

It's not worth risking your life for a chance.

But Su Che did it anyway.

Since they were heroes, they shouldn't have ended up like this.

The magical artifacts that attained enlightenment during the final days of the ancient Heavenly Court should not have vanished into nothingness under the invasion of the Heavenly Demons.

Rise, spirit and shadow!

Su Che unfolded the True Spirit Position Diagram and ignited his own essence and blood energy.

Since it's going to be handed over to the Heavenly Demon, why not give it to this Heavenly Court instead?

"I am the True Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the Lord of the Six Heavens Cave Abyss."

Su Che swung his sword, and a bright moon appeared behind him.

"I hereby issue this decree..."

"Nine Heavens Responding to the Primordial Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, Gouchen Shangdi, Taiyi Jiuku Dadi, Antarctic Longevity True King..."

On the True Spirit Position Chart, names flashed by one by one.

As Su Che's true essence and blood energy dissipated, faint shadows gradually appeared in the world.

The Jingyang Emperor Bell emitted a mournful sound.

Deep within it, certain traces that had not yet dissipated even after turning into nothingness sensed the resolute determination displayed by Su Che.

This trace echoes something deep within it.

However, this response lasted only a moment.

Even with Ruomu as his foundation and the vast magical power as his support, Su Che's own accumulated power still has its limits.

It is simply not enough to support such a huge expenditure.

Even with the methods of preserving spirit and reflecting imagery, and the relentless attacks of heavenly demons, the essence, blood, and vital energy could only be maintained for a fleeting moment.

Just a moment.

As the Jingyang Bell gradually dimmed, the demon's corruption once again gained the upper hand.

Over millions of years of evolution and transformation, the overwhelming demonic intent accumulated between the immortal abode and the demon cave is absolutely not to be interfered with by Su Che.

Even if one burns out all their essence and blood, it won't work.

Su Che looked at his fingers; his hair had turned white, and his body was gradually withering away.

Once one's vital essence and blood are completely burned out, one will truly only be able to become a ghost.

Su Che looked at the Jingyang Bell.

But it was all worth it. Because this was my way out.

Su Che let out a long roar, suppressing everything he had.

Within the Moon Palace.

The desolate figure gazed at Su Che.

What a ridiculous child.

It's funny, but he's a good kid.

Just like they were back then, just like I was back then.

The Taiyin Emperor extended a finger, and a faint force pierced through the layers of ice and reached Su Che's side.

Let me lend you a hand.

They sensed the power emanating from the Taiyin Emperor. Although the power was weak, it carried an immense and far-reaching might.

Su Che finally took the last step.

“Lingwei Yang, Zhiguang Ji, Chibiao Nu, Bai Zhao Ju, Han Shuji…”

Adorned with crowns and robes, these figures from ancient times existed for a fleeting moment in this world.

Although only for a moment.

But it was enough to resonate throughout the entire Heavenly Court.

This is a shadow of the ancient Heavenly Court, not a deep demonic realm.

Not bad.

A demon's lair that has existed for millions of years, and also a celestial abode that has existed for millions of years

The Earthly Official Emperor remained here, and the meticulously arranged Heavenly Court system resonated with its own unique energy.

Every brick and tile, every inch and every hair.

They were all echoing Su Che, responding to the shadows he summoned.

The Jingyang Emperor Bell let out a furious roar.

Its deepest, timeless essence has finally been awakened.

A desolate shadow suddenly appeared.

It gently held up the Jingyang Emperor Bell, slowly walked towards Su Che, and solemnly handed the Jingyang Emperor Bell to Su Che.

"The Heavenly Demon has entered the Tushita Palace, but the true intention of the Supreme Dao Ancestor still remains, which shows that the Dao Ancestor has shown mercy. Our realm will certainly not be wiped out. Your Majesty, please strive harder."
