Chapter 783 - 710: The Rebirth of White Fox and the Disappearance of the Illusion Realm_1
The shadow of time emerged abruptly.
In the arena, countless people stared at the door, their eyes forced open by the dazzling white light.
Only Su Baiqian, Wu Dade, Yun Xi, Big Black Dog, and Hu Xiaochan, standing in front of the door, felt a resonance; they too could see the past events unfolding in that space-time.
“Before Sister Hu died, she created the final illusion, severing the link between the Pure Land and the Primordial Ancestral World…”
The Big Black Dog murmured, saying:
“Its illusion is the Great Wall that guards this world. If Su Baiqian does not return, the illusion will not vanish…”
In his dog eyes, there was a trace of loss.
“Woof… Perhaps this Emperor should not have left back then. Had I stayed, maybe everyone wouldn’t have died so thoroughly…”
It felt a tinge of self-reproach!
“So this place is related to Sister Bai Qian from a previous life…”
Yun Xi also came to a sudden realization.
And at this moment, Hu Xiaochan suddenly felt a sense of perception; her body trembled lightly!
Just now in that white light, she glimpsed another scene:
The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, blood staining the sky, burned its last vital essence to create an illusion that severed the Star River, nearly extinguishing itself.
But, a drop of blood was preserved by the Two-Leaf Clover, falling unto the Sacred Beast Mountain.
The ancestors of her Silver Fox Clan had once been tainted by that blood, that drop of blood that carried on through the reincarnations of the Silver Fox Clan for generations until today…
Hu Xiaochan could feel the blood inside her body almost boiling.
She seemed to understand everything.
The cycle of destiny, the call of duty… She suddenly smiled contentedly, ascended the steps, and then transformed into a drop of blood in the white light!
That drop of blood hovered above the palm of Su Baiqian.
On Su Baiqian’s cheeks, cold tears slid down. She lowered her head, gazing at the drop of blood in her hand…
Then, she stepped into the stone gate!
Upon entering, she found the interior empty, with nothing else inside but a White Fox Statue and two withered yellow leaves.
The White Fox Statue seems to be connected to thousands of worlds!
With just one glance, Su Baiqian could see those worlds, a complex interweaving of light and shadow.
These vast and intricate worlds were the final illusion created by the White Fox.
She saw a Giant Bronze Gate standing at the back of the illusion, with a Big Black Dog wandering behind it…
She saw some Emperors returning within the illusion, their bodies marked with eye-like symbols…
She also saw, in a distant part of the illusion realm, some Cultivators emanating Chaos Qi, digging graves within the illusion, unaware that even those graves were mere falsities…
Su Baiqian’s gaze slowly retracted, falling upon the White Fox Statue.
“I have returned.”
“You will come back too, won’t you?”
Su Baiqian slowly approached the White Fox Statue, gently caressing it.
The drop of blood, transformed from Hu Xiaochan, fell upon the statue.
In that moment, the statue seemed to sense something.
The layers of stone skin actually began to crack slowly!
At the same time, the endless illusion emanated from the statue also began to fade away in that instant.
The Broken Lost Land seemed to plunge into an apocalypse!
Large swathes of temporal space suddenly vanished, leaving nothing but the cold and vast darkness of the void.
“What happened?”
In some part of the void, several Divine Path Emperors headed toward the Yang Realm were shocked.
“The Broken Lost Land… Those eternal timespaces, they’re gone?”
The Reincarnation Great Emperor exclaimed in horror!
Were those timespaces nonexistent, merely illusions?”
The Celestial Master Ancestor God Emperor said in shock, “Could it be that the tens of thousands of years we’ve been lost here were just bewitched by an illusion?”
The Demon Emperor was equally shaken:
“How is this possible? The Broken Lost Land is the sealed land of the Yang Realm for all eternity… What kind of existence could cast such an illusion?”
They did not know.
But around them, those once incredibly real timespaces that they treated as insurmountable as the Thunder Pond had now disappeared…
They looked around blankly, standing amidst boundless darkness.
And far in the distance, there seemed to be a world, faint as dust.
“We can actually see the Yang Realm directly…”
The Demon Emperor murmured, and they all recognized that the world should be the Yang Realm!
“It seems that the Broken Lost Land was indeed just an illusion, separating the Yang Realm from the outside world, preventing the People of the Yang Realm from leaving and others from entering…”
The Celestial Master Ancestor God Emperor spoke.
He turned back, looking in the opposite direction of the Yang Realm, and said:
“Over there… There seems to be an even vaster world!”
…
Inside the Sacred Beast Mountain, within the secret chamber behind the gate.
As that drop of blood seeped into the White Fox Statue, the statue suddenly cracked.
And the endless Illusion Realm that existed because of the White Fox Statue had also vanished.
“Master not returned, Illusion Realm unbroken, Celestial Fox Blood, severing the Star River!”
Su Baiqian murmured, understanding the reason behind all these changes.
The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox waited until death, waiting for Su Baiqian’s return, and with Su Baiqian’s return, it also signified that in the downstream of time, everything had been reversed…
The Illusion Realm used to guard against enemies and protect the Yang Realm was no longer necessary and would disappear automatically.
“I have returned… The Illusion Realm has dissipated, you… should come back now.”
With Su Baiqian’s words, the statue, as if sensing something, “crack,” shattered completely.
Within, a snow-white young fox cub was sound asleep, its eyes opened, lively but bewildered, as if it had forgotten everything.
Su Baiqian knew that this was the rebirth of that drop of blood, after thousands of lifetimes, the Nine-tailed White Fox, like Su Baiqian, had long lost the memories of its past life.
However, the White Fox was very close to Su Baiqian, rising to snuggle into Su Baiqian’s arms.
“Awoo…”
The little fox let out a low cry, extremely affectionate, rubbing against Su Baiqian, carefree and happy.
Even separated by boundless ages, upon reuniting they were still as close as ever.
Su Baiqian stroked the little fox’s head, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions, and immense tenderness.
Then, she turned her gaze to the withered yellow grass leaves beside her.
Two withered yellow leaves, each the size of a palm, with distinct veins, and although withered, still carrying a kind of unimaginable aura!
She reached out to pick up the yellow leaves.
At this moment, however, a loud shout came from behind:
“Stop!”
God Emperor Lin Banyang and the others had finally reacted.
They saw the scene behind the gate, and at this moment, they were all extremely anxious.
“This place… is very likely related to the legendary Ten Spirits… That statue might be one of the Ten Spirits!”
Wang Jiyun’s eyes brimmed with greed as he exclaimed:
“That fox, those herbs… This Emperor must have!”
He charged straight up the steps to the door.
—At this moment, the door of the Illusion Realm had opened; all of the Illusion Realms left by the past life of the Nine-tailed White Fox had disappeared with the appearance of Su Baiqian, so the natural Illusions of the stone steps had become ineffective.
They could rush inside now.
Lin Banyang was not to be outdone, almost reaching the gateway at the same time as Wang Jiyun.
Just as the two were about to enter, they felt a breeze beside their ears!
A figure had already stepped through the stone gate before them.
That was… Shule Haorong!
“How dare you!”
“Stop!”
Lin Banyang and Wang Jiyun both roared angrily.
But that figure had already stood inside the gate, eyes gleaming with ecstasy, he declared:
“Haha… All fortunes shall belong to me, Shule Haorong!”
This man was none other than the God Emperor of the Gold-Devouring Rat Clan, Shule Haorong!
Lin Banyang and Wang Jiyun were both greatly shocked.
There was actually a third God Emperor in this world, besides them?
Being old foxes themselves, they fully understood the situation upon seeing this scene.
All of this had been a conspiracy from the start…
The King of Ten Thousand Beasts from Sacred Beast Mountain had long since become a God Emperor, yet was unknown to the world; this time, they were used to open the stone gate at this place.
And then, to wait for an opportunity to seize it!
Shule Haorong had been hiding in the darkness, waiting for this very moment.
Shule Haorong gave Su Baiqian a chilling smile, saying:
“Little girl, you can die now!”
He felt the taste of victory approaching, and with a lift of his palm, he was about to execute Su Baiqian.
But, just as he released his cultivation level.
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder descended from the ninth heaven, swift and precise, striking directly atop Shule Haorong’s head!
Shule Haorong was instantly shocked, his eyes looking up at the thunderbolt, sensing the taste of annihilation!
“No… What is going on?”
With a cry of horror, he was incredibly frightened.
Then, as the thunder struck his crown, Shule Haorong let out a piercing, miserable scream.
He was directly blasted back into his original form, turning into a gold rat as large as a suckling pig; his soul was utterly destroyed at that moment.
Simultaneously, the Origin of the Grey Mist on his body was also completely obliterated!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was greatly shocked!
What was happening? A Grey Mist God Emperor had been annihilated so abruptly, so eerily?
Everyone was shocked and also overwhelmed with great confusion!
…
Goodnight.
