Chapter 515: Cause and Effect Settlement
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the ancient and mysterious land of Guixu Secret Realm. The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear the sound of time flowing, with only the occasional sound of the wind, as if whispering the secrets of the past. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side, their figures were stretched out in the moonlight. The many tests they had just experienced made their clothes a little messy, and their hair a little messy, but the light in their eyes became more and more determined.
In front of them was a towering stone platform, on which floated an ancient book emitting a faint glow - that was the "Book of Destiny" passed down by the Chu Mochen family. The pages of the ancient book turned gently in the breeze, as if they were spiritual, and every turn was accompanied by the flashing of mysterious runes, as if telling of thousands of years of vicissitudes and control.
Chu Mochen stared at the heavenly book, his eyes full of complexities. He knew since he was a child that his family worshipped this heavenly book as a god, and the family's rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and every step of the layout were guided by this heavenly book. But now, he has to destroy the root of all this with his own hands. He clenched his fists slightly, his knuckles turned white, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the family's upbringing and the expectations of the ancestors followed him like a shadow; on the other hand, he was heartbroken by the hardships he and Yun Yao had gone through, and the sins committed by the family to achieve their goals by any means.
Yun Yao gently held Chu Mochen's hand. Her palm was warm and soft, as if there was a constant flow of power into Chu Mochen's heart. She looked up at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of understanding and support: "Chen, I know this is difficult, but this is the only way to break the shackles of fate. Only by destroying it can we truly control our own destiny and make this cultivation world no longer controlled by the black hand behind the scenes."
Chu Mochen took a deep breath and nodded slightly. He turned to look at Yun Yao, the determination in his eyes becoming stronger and stronger: "Yao'er, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear. Today, I will settle the cause and effect of all this."
After saying that, Chu Mochen moved, and rushed towards the stone platform like a black lightning. Spiritual energy surged around him, his long black hair danced wildly in the wind, and the long sword in his hand hummed, as if responding to the master's determination.
However, just as he approached the stone platform, a transparent light shield suddenly appeared around the ancient book, with runes flowing on the shield, and a powerful restraining force rushed towards him, shocking Chu Mochen back several steps. He stabilized his body, frowned, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. The power of the Chaos Saint Body in his body instantly exploded to the extreme, and the black spiritual power wrapped around him like a roaring dragon.
"Break!" Chu Mochen shouted, and swung the long sword in his hand violently. A black sword energy slashed towards the light shield like a sword that split the sky. Wherever the sword energy went, the space vibrated, and the runes flashed more and more rapidly, as if desperately resisting this fierce attack.
Seeing this, Yun Yao's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of light. She moved lightly and came to Chu Mochen's side in an instant. As her hands danced, the Hongmeng sword embryo was sacrificed, and the power of Hongmeng surged on the sword body, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura. She and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and the two of them were in tune with each other, and they performed the "Hongmeng Creation Sword Art" at the same time. For a moment, the black and white spiritual power intertwined with each other, and the light was dazzling, like a dazzling star falling into the mortal world, and crashed into the light shield fiercely.
Under this shocking blow, the light shield finally couldn't bear it anymore and made a crisp shattering sound, and the runes dissipated in the air like fireworks.
Chu Mochen took advantage of the situation and came to the stone platform, pointing the long sword in his hand directly at the "Book of Destiny". At this time, the book seemed to feel threatened, and the pages turned frantically. An old and majestic voice came from the book: "Chu Mochen, you dare to disobey the family inheritance and go against the will of heaven, you will be punished by heaven!"
Chu Mochen snorted coldly: "My family has done unjust things in the name of this Heavenly Book and controlled the fate of countless lives. I will put an end to this sin today!" After that, he stabbed the long sword in his hand into the Heavenly Book without hesitation.
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged. The entire Guixu Secret Realm seemed to be caught in a doomsday carnival, with howling winds, flying sand and rocks, and black lightning raging in the sky like angry dragons.
Seeing this, Yun Yao hurriedly flew to Chu Mochen's side, and the two of them worked together to hold up a spiritual shield to resist the violent power of heaven and earth. She looked at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of worry: "Chen, are you okay?"
Chu Mochen shook his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the struggling heavenly book: "I'm fine, this heavenly book is just struggling to its death."
As the Heavenly Book was pierced by the long sword, the runes on the pages began to dim gradually, and the light became weaker and weaker. But at this moment, an illusory figure slowly rose from the book. It turned out to be an old man in a black robe with a stern face - it was the ancestor of the Chu Mochen family.
The old man looked at Chu Mochen and Yun Yao with cold eyes, his voice as piercing as the cold wind from the underworld: "You two youngsters, who are trying to destroy our family business, will stay here today!" After saying that, the old man raised his hand and waved it, and a powerful black spiritual power swept towards the two of them like a surging wave.
Yun Yao's eyes were stern, and she held the Hongmeng sword embryo in her hand horizontally. The power of Hongmeng surged out, turning into an indestructible light curtain to resist the spiritual power wave. She turned to Chu Mochen and shouted, "Chen, I will restrain him, you are going to destroy the Book of Heaven!"
Chu Mochen nodded, and swung the sword in his hand violently. The "Book of Destiny" let out a shrill scream, and the pages began to fall off in large pieces, turning into ashes and floating in the air.
Seeing this, the ancestor's heroic spirit was furious, and desperately broke through Yun Yao's light curtain and rushed towards Chu Mochen. Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and shouted: "If you want to hurt him, you have to get past me first!" After that, she flashed and used the "Hongmeng Sword Domain" to cover the ancestor's heroic spirit.
In the sword domain, the power of Hongmeng turned into countless sword qi, stabbing at the ancestral spirit like a rain of pear blossoms. Although the ancestral spirit was powerful, under such a fierce attack, it had to temporarily avoid the edge and raised its hand to resist the sword qi.
On the other side, Chu Mochen used all his strength to mobilize the power of chaos and injected it into the sword in his hand. Under the erosion of this power, the "Book of Destiny" finally collapsed completely and turned into tiny points of light that dissipated between heaven and earth.
With the destruction of the Heavenly Book, the strange phenomena in the heaven and earth in the Guixu Secret Realm gradually subsided, the strong winds stopped, the lightning disappeared, and the moonlight fell again, illuminating this land that had experienced many vicissitudes.
Yun Yao put away her sword, her face slightly pale, it was obvious that the fierce battle just now consumed a lot of her spiritual power. Chu Mochen hurried to her side, held her shoulders, and asked with concern: "Yao'er, how are you?"
Yun Yao smiled slightly: "I'm fine, it's just that my spiritual energy has been consumed a lot, I just need to rest for a while."
At this moment, the system's cold reminder sounded in Yun Yao's mind: "The child of destiny is dead, and a new era has begun. The host has successfully broken the shackles of fate and obtained a special reward - 'Hongmeng Creation Pill'. After taking it, it can help break through the bottleneck of cultivation and have a chance to comprehend new magical powers."
Yun Yao was delighted and exchanged glances with Chu Mochen, both of them smiling. They knew that from now on, the cultivation world would no longer be controlled by the invisible hand of fate, and they would write their own legends with their own will.
Chu Mochen gently embraced Yun Yao in his arms and said softly: "Yao'er, the road ahead is still long, let's go hand in hand."
Yun Yao leaned in Chu Mochen's arms and nodded in response: "Yes, no matter the wind and rain, I will never leave you."
Under the moonlight, the figures of the two people embracing each other seemed to be frozen in time, becoming the most beautiful scenery in this Guixu secret realm, and also foreshadowing a new beginning that is slowly unfolding.
