Godslayer: You get two at the start, Supreme Divine Ruins.

Chapter 349 Fuxi's Death

As the power of the Candle Dragon gradually diminished, its flames grew weaker and weaker until they finally went out completely. Its body was corroded by the black rain, its scales peeling away one by one, revealing its stark white bones.

A resolute glint flashed in its eyes, and it suddenly charged toward the crack in the sky, attempting to block the gap with its body.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the Candle Dragon's body exploded before the crack, dissipating into countless specks of light that vanished into the heavens and earth. Its sacrifice temporarily slowed the onslaught of the black rain, but the crack remained, and the black rain continued to gush forth.

Not only mythical beasts, but all living beings in the primordial world were struggling in the black rain.

Human cultivators formed a large array in an attempt to resist the invasion of the black rain, but their spiritual power seemed so insignificant in the face of the black rain.

The great formation was corroded by the black rain, and the cultivators fell one after another. Their bodies were eroded by the black rain and turned into puddles of black liquid.

The demons howled in the mountains and forests, their fur corroded by the black rain, their flesh eroded, and they eventually turned into skeletons. Spiritual plants withered, spiritual veins broke, and the life force of the entire primordial world was being devoured bit by bit.

Lin Xiao withdrew his divine sense, his eyes filled with pain and anger. Lin Wan'er gripped his hand tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "Gu, what should we do? Are we just going to watch the primordial world be destroyed?"

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We are trapped inside the Chaos Pearl and cannot interfere with the outside world. But... we are not without options."

His gaze fell upon the depths of the Chaos Pearl, where a faint light flickered. That was the core of the Chaos Pearl, his last connection to the primordial world.

"I need your help." Lin Xiao's voice carried a hint of determination. "We can use the core of the Chaos Pearl to transmit our power to the Primordial World. Although we can't completely stop the Black Rain, at least... we can give all living beings a glimmer of hope."

Lin Wan'er nodded without hesitation: "Okay, no matter what the cost, I will be with you."

The two exchanged a smile, then simultaneously placed their palms on the core of the Chaos Pearl. Their power transformed into a dazzling beam of light, piercing through the barrier of the Chaos Pearl and shooting straight towards the primordial world.

In the sky of the primordial world, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, like a shooting star piercing the darkness.

As light fell upon the earth, the encroachment of the black rain was temporarily slowed, and the creatures raised their heads, their eyes rekindling with hope.

"That is... the power of Lord Pangu!" a human cultivator exclaimed.

"There is hope! We still have hope!" The demons roared to the sky.

Though the light was faint, it was like a beacon, illuminating the darkness of the primordial world. The creatures regrouped, attempting to find hope within this dim light.

Inside the Chaos Pearl, Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er's figures gradually blurred. Their power was being exhausted bit by bit, but they showed no remorse.

Deep within the Heavenly Dao Space of the Primordial World, Fuxi's figure was bound by countless pitch-black chains. These chains writhed like living things, emanating a suffocatingly evil aura.

His eyes were tightly closed, and the power of the Heavenly Dao around him was suppressed to the limit, making even breathing difficult.

"Fuxi, why struggle?" Azathoth's voice echoed in the void, deep and distorted, as if countless voices overlapped together. "Your power of the Heavenly Dao has been eroded by me, and the destruction of the primordial world is inevitable."

Fuxi did not respond; his consciousness was struggling against the corrosive power of Azathoth.

He could feel the collapse of the primordial world, the wailing of countless creatures in the black rain, and the fall of Yinglong, Qilin, and Zhulong.

His heart was filled with anger and resentment, as well as deep guilt. He felt ashamed for betraying Pangu's trust in entrusting him with the primordial world, yet he could not break free from Azathoth's shackles.

Just when he was almost in despair, a familiar force suddenly pierced through the barrier of the Heavenly Dao space, like a dazzling light illuminating this dark void.

"This is... the power of Pangu and Nuwa!" A hint of surprise flashed in Fuxi's eyes. He sensed the determination and hope contained within that power; it was Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er's last struggle.

"Foolish!" Azathoth's voice was laced with sarcasm. "A mere remnant soul dares to presume to reverse the course of events?"

Fuxi's lips curled into a faint smile: "Azathoth, you underestimated their determination, and you also underestimated... my determination."

Before he finished speaking, the power of the Heavenly Dao around him suddenly erupted, and the dark chains shattered inch by inch in the light. Fuxi slowly stood up, his eyes opened, and his pupils reflected the endless Milky Way.

"You... how is this possible!" Azathoth's voice was filled with shock.

Fuxi did not answer. His hands formed a seal, and the power of the Heavenly Dao transformed into countless runes, temporarily suppressing Azathoth's corrupting power. His voice was deep and firm: "Pangu, Nuwa, this is the last thing I can do for you."

His figure began to blur, and the power of the Heavenly Dao, like a burning flame, gradually devoured his life.

With a sudden wave of his hands, a rift was torn open in the Heavenly Dao Space. A large hand grasped the Chaos Pearl, and Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er's power was guided through the rift, returning to the Primordial World.

"Fuxi!" Lin Xiao's voice echoed in the void, filled with endless grief.

Tears streamed down Lin Wan'er's face as she cried out in anguish, "Elder brother!"

Fuxi's figure gradually faded away, but his voice remained clear: "Pangu, Nuwa, you are the hope of the primordial world. I am no match for you. I will use my last strength to fight for your survival."

As he finished speaking, the power of the Heavenly Dao transformed into a dazzling light, enveloping the scattered fragments of Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er's souls.

The fragments reformed in the light, forming a tiny sphere of light containing the memories and power of the two individuals.

"What is this?" Lin Wan'er's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Fuxi's voice echoed in her mind: "This is a system I created for you using the power of the Heavenly Dao. It contains the most precious treasures of the primordial world. It will help you rise again quickly, and then Fellow Daoist Pangu may be able to reach an even greater peak."

“But… Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you…” Lin Xiao’s voice was choked with sobs.

Fuxi's figure had completely vanished, but his voice still echoed in the void: "There is no need to grieve for me. Protecting the primordial world was my mission, and it was also the result of your trust in me. Pangu, Nuwa, I hope you... will succeed."

His voice gradually faded, and the Heavenly Dao Space returned to darkness. The sphere of light transformed into a stream of light, piercing through the barrier of time and space, carrying Lin Xiao and Lin Wan'er's souls to the God-Slaying World.
