Chapter 219 The Final Victory, A New Journey Awaits

The deep voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying a suffocating pressure.

Space distorted, and a figure slowly solidified, like a god descending.

The mastermind behind it all has finally revealed themselves!

He was surrounded by a thick black mist, obscuring his face; all that could be felt was a chilling sense of oppression.

"Heh, underestimate me? You'll all die!" The black mist churned, and a gigantic black hand appeared out of thin air, slamming down with earth-shattering power towards Dai Yao and the others!

"Holy crap! What the hell?!" Dai Yao yelled, grabbing her friend and rolling on the ground to barely dodge the attack.

A giant hand slammed into the ground, producing a deafening roar, instantly creating a huge crater and sending dust flying.

"Cough cough cough..." A key member of their own faction scrambled to his feet, covered in dust and grime, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. "This old guy, he's serious!"

"Protect the Star of Hope!" Dai Yao shouted, and in a flash, she stood in front of everyone.

The spiritual energy within her body surged wildly, and an unprecedented power welled up within her.

Golden light burst forth from her body, making her look like a war god!

"Late stage of Golden Core? You've actually been hiding your strength!" The mastermind's voice carried a hint of surprise, but even more so, disdain. "However, so what if you've broken through? You're still no match for me!"

The black mist churned once more, this time transforming into countless black blades that swept towards Dai Yao in a devastating attack.

Dai Yao's eyes narrowed, and a long sword gleaming with golden light appeared in her hand.

She brandished her longsword, shattering each incoming blade.

But she could feel her strength being rapidly depleted.

"This won't do, we have to find his weakness!" Dai Yao said, while parrying the attacks and observing the mastermind's movements.

She discovered that although the mastermind behind the scenes was powerful, he seemed to be deliberately maintaining a certain distance and did not choose to attack at close range.

"What is he worried about?" A thought suddenly occurred to Dai Yao, and a bold idea emerged in her mind.

A sly smile played on her lips as she said to the mysterious figure, "Brother, it's up to you now!"

The mysterious figure understood, and in a flash, disappeared from the spot.

"Playing tricks!" The mastermind behind the scenes sneered and intensified his attack.

Just then, he suddenly sensed an unusual presence behind him.

"Not good!" He turned around abruptly, only to find that the mysterious figure had appeared behind him at some point, holding a dagger that gleamed with an eerie light.

"You..." The mastermind was about to speak when the dagger was already piercing his back.

The black mist churned violently, letting out a piercing scream...

"This is impossible!"

The black mist churned violently, letting out a shrill scream, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"This... is impossible!" The mastermind's voice was filled with disbelief. He staggered back, looking down incredulously at the dagger stuck in his back.

The dagger looked ordinary, but it emitted an eerie, ghostly light that was constantly devouring the power within his body.

"Heh, old man, times have changed!" Dai Yao sneered, and with a flick of her longsword, a sharp sword aura shot straight toward the mastermind behind the scenes.

The sky and earth changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and it seemed as if the whole world was trembling.

The sword energy collided with the black mist, bursting out with dazzling light, and the surrounding space began to distort, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The mysterious figure tried to rush forward to help, but was held back by the mastermind's right-hand man.

"Your opponent is me!" The assistant smiled coldly, his long whip sweeping towards the mysterious figure like a venomous snake, carrying a sharp wind.

Dai Yao was locked in a fierce battle with the mastermind behind the scenes. The two figures constantly clashed in the air, each collision producing a deafening roar.

Although Dai Yao was slightly inferior in strength, she repeatedly deflected the attacks of the mastermind with her agile movements and accurate judgment.

"Yao Yao!" The mysterious figure was entangled by his assistant, extremely anxious, yet unable to break free.

He and Dai Yao gazed at each other across the distance, their eyes filled with determination and deep affection.

When Dai Yao received his gaze, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and this belief gave her even greater strength.

She gritted her teeth and pushed her spiritual power to its limit, causing the longsword in her hand to shine even brighter.

Just then, Dai Yao suddenly sensed something amiss. Although the mastermind's aura was disordered, a strange light flashed in his eyes...

"He has a backup plan!" Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, she felt a powerful suction force pulling her toward the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Yao Yao!" the mysterious figure exclaimed, desperately trying to break free from his assistant's grasp, but it was too late...

"Heh heh, let's die together!" The sinister voice of the mastermind rang in Dai Yao's ears, a crazed smile spreading across his face...

"Dream on!" A crisp voice suddenly rang out...

The crisp voice came from Dai Yao's adorable little apprentice, a rising star in the cultivation world.

Suddenly, he appeared behind Dai Yao, holding a jade pendant that emitted a faint golden light in his hand.

The jade pendant shimmered, forming a golden barrier that separated Dai Yao from the mastermind behind it all.

"Master, I'm here to save you!" the little apprentice cried out in a childish voice, yet it carried an undeniable strength.

Dai Yao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this jade pendant was a divine artifact!

Why didn't she think of that before?

This little guy is actually quite reliable when it matters!

"Good apprentice, well done!" Dai Yao praised, and taking this opportunity, she quickly adjusted her breathing and began to look for the mastermind's weakness.

"Damn it!" The mastermind's plans were disrupted by this sudden turn of events. Enraged, he tried to strike again, but found that his power was being suppressed by the light of the jade pendant.

"What...what is this?!" He was horrified to discover that the light emanating from the jade pendant seemed to be able to purify the dark power within him.

Dai Yao keenly noticed this, her eyes lit up, and a plan came to her mind.

"Old man, your death is near!" A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and the long sword in her hand shone brightly, pointing directly at the location of the mastermind's soul.

"Ah!" The mastermind screamed in agony, as if his soul was being burned by flames.

“Impossible… my soul… how could it be…” He stared at Dai Yao in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know your secret?" Dai Yao sneered. "Your power comes from darkness, and your soul is your greatest weakness!" Her long sword pierced mercilessly into the depths of the mastermind's soul, delivering a fatal blow.

The mastermind's body deflated like a punctured balloon, shrinking instantly before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the world.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, his capable assistant also gave up resistance and knelt down to beg for mercy.

“It’s over…” Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and the long sword in her hand disappeared.

She landed slowly, looking at the devastated cultivation world, her heart filled with emotion.

Although the battle was won, it came at a heavy price.

"Yao Yao!" The mysterious figure rushed to Dai Yao's side, hugged her tightly, and looked at her with worry and heartache.

Dai Yao smiled slightly and gently patted his shoulder, "I'm fine..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body swayed.

"Yao Yao!" the mysterious figure exclaimed, quickly supporting her. "What's wrong?"

Dai Yao's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "I...I'm a little tired..." she said, forcing herself to speak, but everything before her eyes seemed to be blurring...

"Yaoyao, hang in there!" the mysterious figure cried anxiously, his voice trembling slightly. "We're going back right now..."

Dai Yao leaned weakly against his chest, her consciousness gradually fading...

She seemed to hear a voice calling her from afar, but she couldn't make out who was calling her...

"Master..." a childish voice rang in my ears...
