Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

236: Chapter 236: The Burial Abyss of Fiends, the Dark TruthThe Ancient Abyss of Burial Fiends is located in the extreme northwest of the Cangmu Realm. Here, the earth is pitch black as ink, vegetation is extinct, with only jagged, bizarre rocks and bottomless fissures. The air is thick with suffocating, dense Evil Qi, and the howling, gloomy wind resembles the wails of countless ghosts. Ordinary Cultivators here would be beset by Heart Demons and die from Evil Qi erosion without any enemy needing to lift a hand.

The allied forces camped at the edge of the ancient abyss. The dense Evil Qi made the Green Wood Clan warriors and Earth Fire Fortress Disciples feel extremely uncomfortable.

”The Evil Qi here is nearly tangible. We must constantly circulate our power to resist it. Prolonged combat is disadvantageous,” Elder Qing Lin said with a grave expression.

Yan Luo summoned several flame Magic Treasures. The scorching waves of fire temporarily dispersed the surrounding Evil Qi, carving out a small safe zone. ”We must find the source of the Evil Qi, or our forces will collapse before the battle even begins.”

On Nangong Xuan’s shoulder, the dark purple Star Core rotated slightly, conveying Lin Mo’s much clearer consciousness: ”Daddy... the smell here... it’s awful... but... it seems... edible?” The words carried a hint of curiosity and eagerness.

A thought stirred in Nangong Xuan’s heart. He exchanged a glance with Su Muxue. Su Muxue gave a slight nod, Taiyin Star Power protecting her body. Wherever her clear radiance reached, the Evil Qi retreated three paces.

”No need to expend effort dispersing it,” Nangong Xuan spoke, drawing everyone’s gaze. ”Mo’er seems unafraid of this Evil Qi. Perhaps we can take the opposite approach.”

He communicated with the Star Core through his will. The next moment, the Star Core once again emitted that domineering devouring power. This time, however, its range was controlled to be extremely small, only enveloping the area where the allied forces were. Instantly, the dense surrounding Evil Qi was pulled in like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surging into the Star Core! The pressure around the allied forces suddenly lightened!

Everyone watched the seemingly bottomless Star Core with a mixture of shock and joy.

”Let’s go!” Nangong Xuan took the lead. The Star Core hovered above him like a mobile purification Core, clearing the Evil Qi wherever it passed, opening a smooth path for the allied forces.

The deeper they went into the ancient abyss, the more concentrated and refined the Evil Qi became. It even began to coalesce into various terrifying demonic shadows that launched attacks. Yet, under the Star Core’s devouring and Su Muxue’s Taiyin Star Power purification, they were allVulnerable.

Finally, they reached the deepest part of the ancient abyss. Before them was an immense sinkhole. Its bottom was not rock, but a massive, pitch-black vortex that continuously rotated! From within the vortex emanated Evil Qi a hundred times denser than the surroundings, along with a more Advanced, more pure, terrifying power filled with a Concept of coldness, deathly stillness, greed, and destruction!

The Dark Side Power! The true Dark Side Power was seeping directly through a weak point in space!

Around the vortex, countless ferocious black altars and palaces were constructed. That was the stronghold of the Black Fiend Forest. Clearly, they were now fully prepared for battle.

”You’ve finally come!” The figure of the Black Fiend Venerable Lord appeared above the main hall. His aura seemed even stronger than before, yet also more unstable. The Evil Qi swirling around him was mixed with threads of heart-palpitating, pitch-black energy—a sign of being deeply eroded by the dark side’s power. ”This place shall be your burial ground! Welcome the arrival of the dark side!”

He raised his hands high, chanting strange, ancient incantations. The massive black vortex below suddenly accelerated its rotation. An indescribably terrifying will slowly awakened from within, locking onto everyone in the allied forces!

At this critical juncture, the Star Core on Nangong Xuan’s shoulder jolted violently. Lin Mo’s consciousness erupted with unprecedented fury and disgust:

”Disgusting! This thing! I hate it the most!” ”Daddy! Hit it!”

Without Nangong Xuan needing to urge it, the Star Core flew out autonomously, instantly expanding. The speck of crimson light at its Core shone to its extreme. A devouring power even more terrifying than in the Qinglin Forest, carrying a hint of the Chaos of creation and the parting of Grandmist, fearlessly enveloped the massive black vortex!

This time, it was no longer about devouring energy, but about... devouring the very channel through which the dark side’s power was seeping!

”How dare an ant shake the heavens?!” The terrifying, awakened will within the black vortex let out a furious roar. A beam of pitch-black death light, condensed to its limit and containing the power of the Law of annihilating all things, shot towards the Star Core!

Two forces surpassing the limits of this realm collided violently!

There was no sound, only the distortion and annihilation of rules! Space collapsed in patches, reverting to the most primitive Chaos!

The allied forces were forced back repeatedly by the terrifying shockwaves that scattered, those with slightly weaker cultivation even spitting blood.

The Star Core trembled violently, the dark purple dao patterns on its surface flickering unsteadily, clearly under immense pressure. Yet, it stubbornly resisted that pitch-black death light, frantically devouring and grinding away the dark side Laws within!

”Now!” Nangong Xuan shouted sharply, striking simultaneously with Su Muxue!

”Nirvana·Dao-Slashing!” ”Taiyin·Retrograde Purification!”

The gray, desolate sword radiance and the purifying moonlight merged together. They did not attack the vortex, but instead struck towards the Black Fiend Venerable Lord who was struggling to hold on! Capture the leader first to capture the followers!

Elder Qing Lin, Yan Luo, and Zi Linger also unleashed their most powerful attacks simultaneously, bombarding the Black Fiend Venerable Lord and his underlings!

Deprived of the vortex’s full support and besieged by the allied forces’ top fighters, the already unstable Black Fiend Venerable Lord immediately fell into dire straits!

”No—!” In a final roar of unwilling despair, the Black Fiend Venerable Lord was pierced through by Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue’s combined strike. His body rapidly disintegrated and vanished under the power of Nirvana and Taiyin.

With their backbone fallen, the remnants of the Black Fiend Forest fell into Chaos and were swiftly crushed by the allied forces.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the confrontation between the Star Core and the dark side channel reached its most critical moment. The pitch-black death light was finally completely devoured by the Star Core. The Star Core’s light blazed brilliantly, seizing the momentum to charge fiercely into the very center of the black vortex!

BOOOOOOM—!!!

The entire Ancient Abyss of Burial Fiends shook violently. The massive black vortex seemed to be churned violently by an invisible giant hand, emitting a series of cracking sounds of being overwhelmed! Finally, with an earth-shattering roar, the vortex collapsed and contracted, forcibly devoured and sealed by the Star Core!

The dense Evil Qi permeating the ancient abyss, having lost its source, began to slowly dissipate.

In the sky, long-lost light reappeared.

The Star Core flew back into Nangong Xuan’s hand, its size reduced, its glow withdrawn. It conveyed Lin Mo’s tired yet satisfied consciousness: ”Daddy... full... need to sleep... so sleepy...” before sinking into slumber once more. However, Nangong Xuan could sense that within the Star Core, there now seemed to be some indescribable fragments of Laws related to the ”dark side” and ”nothingness.”

The point of infiltration for the dark side’s power in the Cangmu Realm had been temporarily eradicated.
