The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

"After a short rest, we will enter the mysterious realm of the sealed core in half an hour!"

The sea goddess surveyed the crowd, her voice seemingly transcending the boundaries of life and death, carrying the relief of surviving a calamity, and the unwavering resolve to confront the remnant soul of the Demon Lord, echoing in their ears like a resounding bell.

Cang Yuan carefully put away the "Eternal Tide Codex". The protective shield of the Tide-Gilded Armor, like an indestructible shield, shone brightly again, tightly protecting everyone inside and creating a safe haven for everyone to heal.

Yu Shuheng then fully activated the power of the World Tree. The emerald light was like a vibrant forest, enveloping the entire area and healing everyone's injuries and purifying the residual demonic energy within their bodies. It was as if nature's grace was nourishing everyone's weary bodies.

Bai Yiyi's nine fox tails swayed gently like dancing fairies, while the foxfire, like lively sprites, dispelled the remaining demonic energy around her.

His fox-like eyes gleamed with vigilance, like the brightest star in the night sky: "The area near the core of the seal is undoubtedly where the power of the Demon Lord's remnant soul is most concentrated. This will likely be a thrilling and fierce battle."

Yuwen Zhangyu gripped the Emperor's Sword tightly, his aura flowing slowly like surging waves.

His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, seemingly able to see through everything, revealing unwavering determination: "No matter what difficulties and dangers lie ahead, we must fight to the end. The safety of Qingyuan Star depends entirely on this act of breaking the seal!"

Half an hour later, everyone's injuries healed as quickly as a spring breeze sweeping across the earth, and their spiritual power returned to its peak like a volcanic eruption.

After the Five Elements Killing Array was reduced to ruins, a passage leading directly to the depths of the Ruins of Return appeared. At the end of the passage, one could vaguely see a bronze coffin floating in the black water. The runes of the Zhou Tian Star Array on the coffin were dim, and three black cracks were clearly visible. Dense demonic energy rose into the sky like smoke, and one could feel the suffocating pressure from afar.

"We've finally arrived," the Whale King said in a deep voice, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Su Xiaoya stood up, the power of spacetime flowing through her fingertips, her expression resolute: "Everyone, the final test has arrived. Success or failure hinges on this. Join forces to break the seal, suppress the Demon Lord's remnant soul, and protect the peace of Qingyuan Star for ten thousand years!"

Although Su Xiaoya was determined to completely eliminate the Bronze Demon Lord, she didn't want to give everyone any expectations before she actually did it, lest they be disappointed if she failed.

As soon as Su Xiaoya finished speaking, the group transformed into several streaks of light and sped towards the core of the seal.

Beside the bronze coffin, countless high-ranking sea creatures controlled by the remnant soul of the Demon Lord were already on high alert.

Both sides knew that an ultimate battle concerning the survival of the stars was about to begin.

The bronze coffin floated in the endless black water, like a scar on the universe, exuding an ominous aura.

The runes of the Zhou Tian Star Array were as dim as a candle flickering in the wind. The three black cracks that ran across the coffin seemed to connect to the Netherworld. Thick, viscous demonic energy, like tangible smoke, rolled and rose, repelling the surrounding seawater and creating a vacuum-like, deathly still area.

The oppressive force surged forth in waves, layer upon layer. Before it even got close, Su Xiaoya and her group felt their spiritual energy flow blocked, and their souls felt as if they were being suppressed by an invisible boulder.

"Roar……"

Countless high-ranking sea creatures, their eyes bloodshot from being corrupted by demonic energy, let out deafening roars.

They were once the overlords of the deep sea, but now they have become puppets controlled by the remnant soul of the Demon Lord, swarming towards the intruders in droves, fearless and undaunted.

Among them were even a few ancient dragon whales and armored demonic crabs with bodies comparable to mountains, whose ferocious aura was in no way inferior to that of a Mahayana cultivator.

"Form ranks! Charge!" The Sea God closed his eyes, trying to suppress the heartache he felt at seeing these sea creature puppets. He roared first, wielding his trident and stirring up a raging torrent that transformed into countless sharp water blades, tearing forward.

The Whale King followed closely behind, revealing part of its true form. Its massive tail swept across, unleashing tremendous power, shattering the bones and tendons of the charging sea creature puppet.

The tidal gold armor surrounding Cang Yuan shone brightly, and the power of the tides formed a cyclical force field that tore and squeezed the approaching demons.

Above Yu Shuheng's head, the illusory image of the World Tree swayed, and wherever the emerald green light passed, the demonic energy melted away like snow, while continuously replenishing the life force of his companions.

Bai Yiyi's nine tails reached the heavens, and the foxfire was no longer a warm orange-red, but transformed into a pale flame that purified evil spirits. Wherever it passed, demonic energy and puppets were burned to nothingness.

Yuwen Zhangyu drew the Emperor's Sword, its brilliant light illuminating the darkness. Blessed by the emperor's fortune, the sword's momentum was majestic and righteous, each strike carrying the will to judge the world and annihilate demonic souls.

Su Xiaoya was positioned in the center of the formation. The power of spacetime formed a distorted domain around her. Any attacks or monsters that entered the domain would become slowed down, sluggish, or even banished to a brief time rift.

Her gaze was sharp as she stared intently at the constantly vibrating bronze coffin, the runes of law flickering at her fingertips.

With everyone working together, they were like a blazing blade, ruthlessly cutting into the demonized sea creature army, which was as hard as solidified grease. They carved a crimson path through the endless army, constantly approaching the core area of ​​the bronze coffin.

However, as they drew closer, the oppressive aura of the Demon Lord's remnant soul grew increasingly terrifying, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on them.

The deep, demonic sound, seemingly emanating from the abyss of eternity, echoed endlessly in everyone's consciousness, filled with boundless allure and corrosive power.

"Submission... grants eternal life..."

"Destruction...is rebirth..."

"You insignificant ants, how could you possibly comprehend the vastness of the universe, or the profound mysteries of the demonic path..."

The weaker sea monster kings, looking at their controlled kin, couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for their kind.

It was at this very moment that their minds wavered slightly. The Bronze Demon Lord's will pounced on them like a hungry wolf, and their eyes instantly became dazed. Wisps of black energy began to emanate from their bodies, and they showed signs of being assimilated.

"Keep your minds focused!" Yu Shuheng roared, his voice like thunder in everyone's ears. The glow of the World Tree grew even more dazzling, like a blazing sun, radiating a gentle vitality that soothed the restlessness in everyone's souls like a spring breeze.

Bai Yiyi's foxfire, like agile fire snakes, split into several strands, tightly coiling around the sea monster kings, burning away the invading demonic thoughts, as if trying to incinerate them completely.

Su Xiaoya also released her holy light energy, like a clear spring, continuously flowing into the bodies of these sea monster kings, beginning to purify their corrupted souls...

Finally, the sea monster kings regained their senses, each one drenched in a cold sweat from fright.
