Chapter 1524 The Power of Darkness

The sky was as dark as ink, and the stars and moon were without light.

The once beautiful and ethereal Xiaoyao Sect is now shrouded in a suffocating darkness.

The enormous shadow did not originate from celestial phenomena, but from a colossal figure hovering high in the sky, its aura as deep as an abyss…

Daytime flight!

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a jet-black robe, his face handsome yet exuding a chillingly sinister aura.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it was as if countless stars were dying and being reborn within them, ultimately transforming into a cold abyss that devoured everything.

Just by standing there, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire main peak of the Xiaoyao Sect. The air stagnated, all was silent, and even the mountain wind held its breath. Only heavy dark energy, like a viscous tide, washed over the mountains in waves, corroding the golden glazed tiles of the palace!

Bai Tianji was not alone.

Behind him, a dark power gradually condensed, and this dark power also transformed into shadowy figures invisibly!

What's most striking is the figure standing in the shadows behind Bai Tianji, his back slightly hunched, his eyes darting away yet resolute!

Once, he was a highly respected elder of the Xiaoyao Sect!

His signature cloud-patterned Taoist robe from the Xiaoyao Sect stood out starkly against the backdrop of the dense darkness around him, yet it was also incredibly jarring!

Below, on the Xiaoyao Sect's plaza, the remaining elders and core disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect gathered, all with pale faces and fine beads of cold sweat on their foreheads.

The oppressive aura of Bai Tianji washed over their mental barriers like a tsunami. Many disciples with weaker cultivation levels felt their legs go weak and their eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

Some people even trembled, their knees went weak, and they almost knelt down. This was not due to a weak will, but rather an instinctive surrender brought about by the crushing power of life!

Bai Tianji looked down at the ant-like crowd below, a half-smile playing on his lips. His voice, though not loud, resonated clearly in the depths of everyone's soul, carrying an undeniable chill: "Those who submit to me prosper, those who defy me perish. Submit to darkness and gain eternal power; cling to the light and you will be annihilated, body and soul. The choice is yours!"

His words fell like cold water thrown into a pot of boiling oil.

Accompanied by a few suppressed sobs and the soft sound of bones hitting the ground, some disciples and deacons who could not withstand the pressure or who had long harbored disloyalty finally knelt down and chose to submit, placing themselves under that chilling shadow.

Their psychological defenses crumbled instantly, and the last glimmer of light in their eyes was quickly replaced by fear and a thirst for power.

This kneeling gesture, though a complete loss of dignity, also bought him a sliver of breathing room.

However, amidst this gloom of submission, two upright figures, like sturdy bamboos in a storm, stood firm and radiated entirely different lights:

A man in a blue robe stood out, none other than Yu Xiaoyao, the sect leader of the Xiaoyao Sect! His handsome face and the carefree smile he always wore were now gone, replaced by a chilling and murderous aura.

He pursed his lips, straightened his back, and stared intently at the obsequious figure behind Bai Tianji, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing through the pervasive darkness.

He trusted the most, the Grand Elder!

In those eyes, there surged boundless anger and heart-wrenching disappointment, but in the end, it turned into a faint sigh, into an extreme sense of helplessness and sorrow!

"Everyone has their own ambitions..."

Yu Xiaoyao's voice was deep, yet it clearly reached the ears of the few remaining steadfast individuals beside him, and seemed to drift into the shadows as if they were not there at all!

"Since you insist on bowing down as a slave and becoming my lackey, I, Yu Xiaoyao..."

He paused slightly, then a resolute determination suddenly erupted within him: "Even if it can temporarily stop them, what use is it? It's all in vain!"

Every word was powerful and resounding, expressing utter contempt and disdain for the traitors, and also declaring their unwavering belief in never conforming to the crowd!

The other person had snow-white hair and his robe sleeves fluttered even without wind. He was the only remaining pillar of the Xiaoyao Sect, a man of high moral standing and great prestige!

Second Elder!

His eyes widened in fury, his hair and beard bristled, and he roared, “You fiend, how dare you be so arrogant! Since the founding patriarch of my Xiaoyao Sect, we have always acted uprightly and sat in the right place. We cultivate the Way of Freedom and uphold the heart of enlightenment! How can we allow such an evil spirit as you to defile our sect and turn the world upside down! Even if I die in battle and my soul is annihilated, I will never bow down to you!”

A powerful righteous energy burst forth from his aged body. Though not as overwhelmingly dark as Bai Tianji's, it was like a sharp sword piercing through the thick clouds, causing the surrounding dark energy to surge and infusing the crowd below with a faint sense of courage.

He sighed inwardly, feeling quite fortunate that the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder were not around, so that there was still a possibility that his lineage could continue to exist while he was at peace!

Just as tragedy and despair intertwined, a louder and more unified voice, like a beam of light, suddenly pierced the silence of the Free and Unfettered Sect!

"well said!"

On the opposite side, a group of figures dressed in the light blue sect robes of the Xuanqing Sect, led by Sect Master Xuanzhen, stepped forward with their heads held high!

Although they were not the largest in number, they showed unimaginable unity in times of crisis.

Sect Master Ye Zhen had a solemn expression, his eyes showing no fear. The elders he was accompanied by stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Bai Tianji in the sky!

"My Xuanqing Sect will not stoop to being a dog!"

Xuanzhen's voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the silent world, carrying an unwavering resolve: "Xiaoyao Sect, today my Xuanqing Sect will stand with Sect Master Yu in this matter! Our light will never be extinguished, and our Dao heart will never falter!"

This action at this moment is not merely about providing support, but also a silent yet powerful contrast and irony.

It was a declaration to Yu Xiaoyao, to the entire Xiaoyao Sect, and especially to the Grand Elder who chose to kneel: Look! Your sect's closest elders are cowards who are afraid of death and are lackeys, but in my Xuanqing Sect, there is not a single coward! They are all heroes who die standing.

Yu Xiaoyao's body trembled violently, and the embarrassment and awkwardness on his face reached their peak instantly.

Xuanqing Sect's move was undoubtedly putting his and the Grand Elder's betrayal on the spot and trampling the face of Xiaoyao Sect underfoot!

An indescribable sense of shame and indignation welled up in his heart, almost suffocating him.

This "righteousness" and "contrast" from the opposing sect caused him a hundred times more pain than Bai Tianji's oppressive aura.

His reputation as a carefree young man, and the ten-thousand-year-old honor of the Xiaoyao Sect, were utterly shattered in that instant!

"Very well! Very well! Very well! Since you are all eager to die, then I will grant your wish!"

The mockery on Bai Tianji's face instantly turned into endless coldness and murderous intent.

He was thoroughly enraged, especially by the Xuanqing Sect's collective resistance and righteous declaration, which felt like a resounding slap in the face to his victorious posture.

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide. The movement seemed gentle and slow, but it carried a terrifying dark power that could influence the rules of heaven and earth!

In an instant, with him at the center, the void seemed to be torn open with a giant gap!

The boundless, viscous, ink-like power of darkness surged forth as if from the deepest abyss of the universe!

These dark energies contain extreme negative energy, filled with a strong corrosive and devouring nature towards light, vitality, and the soul, far surpassing simple elemental energies.

They transformed into a tangible black storm, instantly sweeping across the entire square, blotting out the sun and causing everything to wither!

"No—!" A desperate scream rang out.

"Protect your mind!"

Yu Xiaoyao and the Second Elder simultaneously let out a fierce roar, their bodies bursting with dazzling divine light as they forcefully created a domain of light, attempting to protect the remaining disciples behind them!

However, the gap was too great! After all, they were only at the level of Chaos God Emperor. Facing the full power of the Dark Origin Force unleashed by Bai Tianji, who had stepped into the level of Creation God, was like a firefly facing a raging inferno!

A dark storm surged down, ignoring all obstacles!

The light barrier erected by Yu Xiaoyao and the Second Elder lasted only a breath before being torn apart and devoured like thin paper! The violent and domineering dark power, like billions of greedy venomous snakes, frantically coiled around the bodies of all those who refused to submit in the square!

Sizzle!!

A series of sickening corrosive sounds rang out!

The disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect were the first to be affected. The radiance of their formation dimmed the moment it touched the darkness. Then came their protective divine light, followed by their robes, skin, and so on. Visibly, their pure and vibrant life essence was rapidly stripped away, disintegrated, and dissolved under the erosion of the darkness!

Countless people watched in horror as their arms and bodies began to turn gray and white, transforming into tiny black specks of light!

This process is not instantaneous, but is accompanied by unimaginable pain—the pain of having one's soul torn apart and devoured! The vivid, unavoidable process of watching oneself being completely erased, both physically and mentally, is incredibly terrifying, driving one to madness, yet leaving one utterly powerless!

An elder of the Xuanqing Sect, his eyes bloodshot with rage, roared as he burned his life essence and charged toward Bai Tianji, attempting to self-destruct. However, before he could reach halfway, his body crumbled in the darkness like a weathered stone sculpture, turning into a cloud of black dust. In the end, only a mournful cry remained before he vanished completely as specks of light.

Yu Xiaoyao's body trembled violently, and blood began to seep from his seven orifices. He desperately circulated the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, pushing the Xiaoyao Law to its limit, transforming into a drifting, uncertain light and shadow in an attempt to struggle.

But the dark power, like a leech, quickly coiled around him. He saw his left arm begin to fade... A bone-chilling cold and a feeling of being ripped away made his face turn deathly pale!

The Second Elder's white hair danced wildly, and the ancient sword in his hand instantly shone with its last brilliance, slicing away countless black wisps. But soon, the sword shattered, and darkness rapidly climbed onto his aged body.

His eyes were filled with grief and resentment as he stared intently at Bai Tianji, who stood high above, and the traitorous Elder.

The passage of time becomes blurred and incredibly cruel here.

Desperate cries rose and fell, only to quickly fade into silence in the darkness.

Darkness covered the void, and all things were submerged in this darkness... The surging power covered everything, causing everything to be annihilated.
