But... what's the use of this
The deepest fear in Luo Xue's heart was indeed aroused. Her hands and feet were cold, as if she was experiencing that moment of despair again.
However, her expression remained calm.
Because she had already overcome that fear.
Luo Xue opened her eyes, and even the depths of her eyes were filled with determination.
At the same time, all the formation nodes of the Beiming Breaking Evil Formation collapsed, and the formation runes that constructed the entire formation were shattered together.
In return, a dull, inconspicuous three-foot short sword hung in front of Luo Xue.
"Break the evil... destroy!"
Luo Xue hummed softly and swung her sword out.
There was no earth-shaking movement, no massive impact, only a short sword using the simplest sword moves, slashing at the giant beast that covered the sky and the sun.
There is no skill involved in this sword.
It was more like she was giving an order, commanding everything to wither.
Everything responded to her.
The violent extraterritorial evil demon froze at this moment. Its hideous face could no longer roar. Only bits of black ash emerged, collapsed with the wind, and drifted away with the wind.
The will of withering has completely corroded the evil demon from outside the domain, and it is irreversibly heading towards collapse.
"This is the true path..."
Bei Mingling witnessed this scene, feeling this unprecedented Dao aura, and deeply felt the gap between the Dao she was cultivating and the final Dao.
The sealing technique she practiced has been completely cut off at the saint level, and she will never be able to advance another step in her entire life. This is limited by the laws of the universe, unless Bei Mingling can repair the laws and continue on the path.
But obviously, Bei Mingling couldn't do it.
In other words, in today's world, no one can do it.
Only such a great way can kill the evil demon from outside the domain that has stepped into this quasi-emperor.
The filthy flesh and blood creature continued to turn into black ashes. It struggled to get closer to Luo Xue above the sky, but it could only move farther and farther away from her until it was out of reach.
Until this time, Yu Ducheng, who had been dominated by crazy obsession, finally woke up. He stared at Luo Xue blankly with the vision of an alien demon.
With his experience in the ancient times, it is impossible that he has not seen Luo Xue's current methods.
"It's you... Are you back..."
"No, it can't be you, we have killed you with our own hands..."
These whispers rang in Luo Xue's ears, but she remained silent.
Nangong died as a result of the conspiracy of the ancient clans. Luo Xue had already guessed this matter a long time ago. Yu Ducheng's words only confirmed this fact.
But then, Yu Ducheng's next words made Luo Xue shudder instantly.
"But, it doesn't matter... Hehe, it's okay... No matter who you are... it's the same..."
He laughed in a low voice, with madness and despair, "He... will watch over you."
"careful!"
At this moment, the anxious voice of Huang Zun suddenly sounded, and the phantom of the Divine Phoenix beside Luo Xue cried loudly, trying to expel something.
But it was too late, or there was no chance at all.
A gaze, a distant gaze coming from nowhere, passed through countless worlds and infinite possibilities, and inevitably fell on Luo Xue.
Luo Xue looked up and saw a petite figure with an irresistible charm that occupied her entire vision and all her mind.
Luo Xue couldn't see His appearance clearly, she only saw a pair of holy eyes blinking at her smartly.
The gaze from Him seemed to last for several epochs, but also seemed to be only a short moment. When Luo Xue came to her senses, the evil demon from outside the domain in front of her had completely dissipated, and Yu Ducheng's consciousness had disappeared into thin air.
She had achieved final victory, albeit at a heavy price.
This battle caused nearly one-third of the Beiming Ancient Clan to be killed or wounded, destroyed the Beiming Clan Protection Array, and only retained the core of the array. The small world of the Beiming Mansion was severely damaged and could not be recovered without several thousand years of recuperation.
The most terrifying thing is that Luo Xue... has already accepted the gaze from Him.
Chapter 242: Farewell Warning, Blood Sea Traces
A few days later.
The sealed small world of Beiming Mansion has been unsealed again, but a lot of it has been destroyed and is now in a dilapidated state.
After the first quasi-emperor war since the end of the ancient times came to an end, all that was left was a mess.
Of course, the job of cleaning up the subsequent mess has nothing to do with Luo Xue.
As for the Beiming Ancient Clan, Beiming Ling has handed over all the remaining matters to the clan leader Beiming Tian, and she is about to fall into silence again and become one of the foundations of the Beiming Ancient Clan.
However, before she fell silent, she invited Luo Xue and wanted to talk to her alone.
Luo Xue readily agreed. After all, Bei Ming Ling had already given her the Bei Ming Breaking Evil Array - of course, it was not quite appropriate to say it was a gift. This thing originally belonged to Huang Zun, and it was most appropriate to give it to Huang Zun's bloodline descendants for safekeeping.
Although all the formation nodes were destroyed and would be difficult to repair in a short period of time, fortunately, the core of the formation was not damaged at all.
This was what Luo Xue did deliberately at the time. In order to protect the core of the formation, she did not hesitate to overdraw all the formation nodes to maintain the "extinction" state.
Because for the entire Beiming Breaking Evil Array, the nodes of the array are secondary, and the core of the array is the most important.
Repairing the array nodes takes time and resources, but compared to the damage to the core of the array, it is already within an acceptable range.
For the ancient Beiming clan, a disaster-breaking formation with only a core left was of no use at all. Moreover, it was Luo Xue who helped them overcome this crisis that could have wiped out the clan, so they just went with the flow and handed the core to Luo Xue.
At this time, Luo Xue and Bei Mingling were strolling in the dilapidated ancient city of Yuanhe. Everything around them was as prosperous as it was in the past, but it was infected by filth. Even the dead silence could not hide the hideousness and horror.
When Luo Xue beheaded the remnants of the evil demon from outside the domain, these filth were also infected by the will of withering. Even the horrible evil demons from outside the domain could not escape the fate of withering, and so were they.
Bei Mingling did not say anything. She just watched it all quietly, feeling the horror from the ancient times.
Luo Xue, who was using a temporary puppet as a container, was also silent. She looked into the distance indifferently, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
The two of them walked in silence until they approached a place that was out of tune with the surrounding scenery, and then they stopped at the same time.
In front of them was a long winding river. The water was so clear that one could see the river bottom at a glance, but strangely, there were no living creatures.
In this completely alienated ancient city of Yuanhe, this long river named "Tongtianyuan River" forms the most unique landscape.
Luo Xue looked at the Tongtianyuan River silently, as if she saw something.
"It is said that this is what was left behind after the death of a great emperor in ancient times. The river water is clear and pure, and cannot be polluted or changed. It is like some kind of eternal and unchanging avenue." Seeing that Luo Xue was interested, Bei Mingling explained a few words.
However, as she looked at the clear river water, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"But... I didn't expect that even the evil demons from outside the domain couldn't pollute the Tongtianyuan River. This can't be explained by this statement."
"What is it specifically that you want to talk to me about?"
Luo Xue did not respond to Bei Mingling's words, but looked up and asked.
"Tsk... Oh, are young people speaking so directly nowadays?"
Bei Mingling smiled without comment. At this time, she had already accepted the idea that Luo Xue and Nangong were not the same person, although she still insisted that Luo Xue was Nangong's reincarnation.
"I may not have time." Luo Xue said vaguely.
"I'm afraid I have less time than you do." Bei Ming Ling sighed softly, "Although I don't like the Bei Ming Breaking Evil Array, but after you took it away... the Bei Ming Ancient Clan has lost the foundation for survival. From now on, the Bei Ming Saint will probably be consumables."
When encountering a crisis in the past, you can use the Beiming Breaking Evil Array as the first method to resolve the crisis.
But now, there is no need for a saint to come forward. All that is needed is a few stronger people in the Sea Crossing Realm to take action, or the Imperial Clan’s Immortal Slaughter Army to be dispatched, and the Beiming Ancient Clan must awaken the saint.
The lifespans of most saints are about to run out, and every awakening means a reduction in the saint's combat power, but ultimately there is nothing that can be done about it.
As Bei Mingling is the youngest saint, she must be extremely cautious every time she is awakened, so she does not have much time left.
"Even if I don't take it away, you won't be able to use it." Luo Xue said very bluntly, "With your ability, the best you can do is to come up with a clan protection formation that can barely resist the Crossing the Sea Realm."
It can only barely resist the formation of the Sea Crossing Realm... Even for the gradually weakening Beiming Ancient Clan, it is still not up to par. After all, there are still a few ordinary Sea Crossing Realm warriors.
"... How embarrassing," Bei Mingling sighed again, "But it doesn't matter."
She turned her head and looked at Luo Xue, her tone suddenly becoming a little more serious.
"However, I need to remind you of something."
"Um?"
Luo Xue tilted her head, and a hint of doubt appeared in the puppet's stiff expression.
"Be careful of the imperial family," Bei Mingling said in a deep voice, "especially Emperor Dugu."
"Why?"
Luo Xue frowned slightly. It sounded a bit like he was trying to sow discord.
But looking at Bei Mingling's personality... she doesn't seem to be the type of person who would do such a thing.
Although what the ancient clan did was despicable, it does not mean that every member of the ancient clan is a despicable person. Bei Mingling is considered to be relatively generous, otherwise she would not have decisively handed over the initiative to Luo Xue in the previous battle.
Seeing that Luo Xue's attitude seemed a little doubtful, Bei Mingling refused to say more.
She thought about it for a moment and said only one sentence:
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
"Not me..."
Luo Xue's pupils shrank slightly. She knew that Emperor Dugu came from Guixu, but... being outside Guixu means that he is definitely not of my race
Although she didn't spend a long time with Emperor Dugu, she was quite familiar with his daughter Dugu Xue... She didn't see anything strange about Dugu Xue. The only special thing about her was the congenital illness brought by the Snow Girl's bloodline, which had nothing to do with the Emperor's family.
Moreover, if we want to talk about it in detail, it seems that the four regions of Kyushu and the great world are also not of our kind.
After all, the four regions of Kyushu are all pure human race...
"In short, it's always right to stay away from him." Bei Mingling shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't tell you everything. This involves the core interests of the Beiming Ancient Clan, and even I can't disclose it casually."
The topic only came to this point, and Bei Mingling suddenly changed the subject and started laughing again.
"By the way, Miss Luo Xue, after you killed the extraterritorial evil demon, you seemed to have some sudden enlightenment? I saw that you were silent for several hours, and when you woke up, the feeling you gave me changed a little."
"... ..."
Luo Xue was silent for a while, then shook her head, "No, there was no epiphany."
Instead, it could be another terrible disaster.
Seeing that Luo Xue refused to say more, Bei Mingling stopped forcing her and did not continue asking.
The purpose of her asking Luo Xue out alone was to remind Luo Xue to be careful of the imperial family. Besides that... maybe she wanted to stay with this remnant of the old era who was born in the new era before her final silence.
Bei Mingling had a premonition that the next time she woke up, she would not see Luo Xue.
This separation will mean we will never see each other again.
It is inevitable that there is still some... mutual sympathy.
The two walked along the source river for a while until Bei Mingling's figure gradually dimmed, which meant that her own silent seal was taking effect.
At the final moment of parting, they didn't say another word.
When the bright moon shone in the sky, Luo Xue's lonely figure was left by the Yuan River.
"He is a pretty good young man. It's rare that these evil tribes have a few decent ones."
A cold voice with a slightly disdainful tone sounded in Luo Xue's ears. Unknowingly, a small and exquisite purple bird had landed on Luo Xue's left shoulder.
If you look closely, you will find that this little purple bird has extremely intricate patterns, and each feather seems to be engraved with some unfathomable mystery. If you stare at it for too long, you will even feel a sense of weightlessness as if you are falling into an abyss.
The purple bird is the incarnation of Huang Zun's consciousness. Her original body had long since fallen and turned into a withered sea of blood on the edge of the four regions of Jiuzhou. Now only this bird remains of her.
Only when he was inside the Beiming Breaking Evil Formation could Huang Zun show some of his former unrivaled elegance.
Of course, there is another way to see it.
... is to let Su Yiyao stop looking like a girl and grow up naturally.
Huang Zun and the adult version of Su Yiyao are simply carved from the same mold - perhaps this is not quite accurate, because they are carved from the same mold.
The reason why Huang Zun ended his silence and chose to transform into a physical form and stay by Luo Xue's side, in addition to the fact that Luo Xue almost destroyed the entire Beiming Breaking Evil Array, there was another very important reason.
—Luo Xue has been targeted by Him.
