Led by Cangsong and the others, the three quickly arrived at the Demon Emperor's palace. Inside, a faint scent of herbs filled the air. The Demon Emperor Hong lay quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, with a wisp of black energy lingering between his brows, and his breathing was weak.

Seeing his father like this, Di Lin's eyes immediately reddened. He quickly walked to the bedside, his voice choked with emotion, "Father..."

Lu Lingxi walked to the other side of the bed, gently placed her jade fingers on Di Hong's wrist, and a wisp of pure spiritual energy probed into his body. After a moment, she withdrew her hand, her expression solemn.

"Yaoyao, how are you?" Nalan Rongzhi asked softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and slowly said, "The power of the curse has already become connected with His Majesty the Demon Emperor's origin, and it is difficult to completely remove it using ordinary methods. However..." She changed the subject, a confident glint flashing in her clear eyes.

Lu Lingxi said firmly, "Now that we have retrieved the Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Disc, it is not difficult. If we can activate the power of the Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Disc, and supplement it with my purification technique and His Highness Emperor Lin's royal blood as a catalyst, we may be able to completely purify the curse in His Majesty the Demon Emperor's body."

Di Lin's eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, "Master, really?"

“Hmm!” Lu Lingxi nodded with a smile. “However, this method is extremely taxing on the caster, and it requires a perfect resonance between the powers of His Majesty the Demon Emperor, His Highness Emperor Lin, and the Nine Luminaries Star Plate. There can be no mistakes along the way.”

"We must try anything to save Father Emperor," Di Lin said without hesitation.

Since Di Lin had said so, under Lu Lingxi Yao's arrangement, everyone began to prepare for the purification ceremony. They dismissed all irrelevant people from the palace, leaving only Lu Lingxi Yao, Nalan Rongzhi, Di Lin, and the two old ministers Cangsong and Xiong Yuan to protect the outer perimeter.

Lu Lingxi Yao had Di Lin take out the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Star Plate and place it flat in front of the Demon Emperor Hong's chest. As soon as the star plate touched Di Hong's body, it emitted a soft nine-colored halo.

“Nine-Tailed Fox, I will guide you in a moment to drip your royal blood essence onto the ‘Celestial Pivot’ star position in the center of the star chart. At the same time, you must also circulate your demonic power to resonate with the star chart,” Lu Lingxi Yao instructed. “Although His Majesty the Demon Emperor is unconscious, his essence still exists. The power of the star chart will naturally resonate with him. What I need to do is to use this power to separate the curse from his essence and completely purify it.”

Di Lin nodded heavily, his expression solemn.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and slowly circulated the ten elements of spiritual power, eventually gathering at her fingertips. Among them, the spiritual power of the light and wood elements was particularly active, exuding a vibrant aura.

"It begins!" she uttered softly, her hands forming a seal, and mysterious runes flew from her fingertips, disappearing into the Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc.

"Om-"

The Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc trembled violently, and its nine main stars suddenly lit up, with nine-colored light shooting into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire palace. Then, a vast and powerful stellar force spread out.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, now!" Lu Lingxi and Yao Qing shouted.

Di Lin did not immediately bite his fingertip, but dripped a drop of blood onto the "Tian Shu" star position in the center of the star chart. At the same time, he fully circulated his demonic power and, following Lu Lingxi Yao's guidance, slowly injected it into the star chart.

In an instant, the Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc shone brightly, its nine-colored radiance transforming into vibrant ribbons of light that tightly connected Emperor Hong, Emperor Lin, and the celestial disc.

Lu Lingxi closed her eyes slightly, her powerful spiritual energy spreading out to accurately sense the movement of the curse power within Di Hong's body. With a gentle wave of her jade hand, soft yet irresistible milky-white light surged from her palm and covered Di Hong's body.

"Purify!"

With a low shout, the milky white light surged into Di Hong's body like a tide, intertwining with the star power emanating from the Nine Luminaries Star Plate.

"Oh no, the curse is backfiring!" Cangsong exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this.

Nalan Rongzhi's eyes sharpened, and his demonic energy and spiritual power surged instantly, spreading a powerful pressure that firmly locked down every inch of the palace to prevent any accidents from happening.

Lu Lingxi remained unfazed. With a thought, the fragments of divine power within her body trembled slightly, and a pure and sacred power merged into her purifying light.

"Radiance shines upon heaven and earth, cleanses filth, break!"

The light of purification was like a miniature sun, radiating endless light and heat. Under the illumination of the holy light, those hideous demonic runes crumbled inch by inch.

Time passed second by second. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Lingxi Yao's forehead, and her face was slightly pale. Clearly, controlling such a huge amount of energy at the same time and fighting against the powerful curse was taking a huge toll on her.

Di Lin's situation was not easy either. The continuous output of royal blood essence and demonic power made his aura somewhat unstable, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Finally, the last wisp of black energy lingering between Di Hong's brows completely dissipated under the light of purification.

"puff--"

Di Hong suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. The blood fell to the ground and emitted a pungent, burnt smell, quickly corroding a small pit.

As he spat out the blood, Di Hong's originally pale face gradually regained some color, and his breathing became steady and powerful.

Lu Lingxi slowly withdrew her spiritual power, and the light of the Nine Luminaries Star Disc gradually dimmed. She breathed slightly, her pretty face showing a hint of fatigue, but her eyes remained bright.

"It's a success," she said softly, her tone filled with a sense of relief and satisfaction.

"Father!" Upon seeing this, Di Lin couldn't help but rush to the bedside, tightly grasping Di Hong's hand, tears streaming down his face.

Just then, Di Hong, lying on the bed, trembled slightly with his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Di Lin by the bedside and Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rongzhi standing not far away, his eyes gradually regained their luster.

"Lin'er...you all..." Di Hong's voice was still a little hoarse and weak.

"Father, you're awake! You're finally awake!" Di Lin cried with joy, his voice choked with emotion.

Di Hong felt a long-lost sense of ease within his body. Although he was still weak, he struggled to sit up, and Di Lin quickly helped him up.

“Miss Lu Ling… Lord Demon Lord…” Di Hong’s gaze turned to Lu Ling Xi Yao and Nalan Rong Zhi, his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude, “This great kindness, I… I and the entire demon realm will never forget!”

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, stepped forward, and handed over a pill that had been prepared beforehand: "Your Majesty is too kind. Please take this pill first to recuperate. Although the curse has been removed, your essence has been severely damaged, and you still need to rest and recuperate properly."
