Chapter 823 The Difficulty of Decision
The inky sky was ripped into spiderweb-like fissures, and chaotic energy poured out like a black torrent. Wherever it passed, towering mountains were instantly corroded into dust and reduced to nothingness. After Yun Yao and the others returned to the world of cultivation from the Guixu illusion, the scene before them made everyone gasp. The world, once brimming with vitality, now resembled a post-apocalyptic purgatory.
"The Pavilion Master's words are half-truths. The collapse of the Heavenly Dao will indeed trigger Chaos, but he intends to seize this opportunity to devour the power of Chaos and become the New Heavenly Dao!" System Lord's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. Yun Yao clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, feeling the oppression of the all-destructive Chaos force. She looked up at the distant mountains being eroded by Chaos, and suddenly remembered the prophecy engraved on the stone wall of the Taixu Ancient Temple: "When the two chapters merge and Chaos descends, only the 'Yunhua Tears' can restore the Heavenly Dao."
At that moment, a heart-pounding sound suddenly rang out from the sky, and a figure descended with overwhelming pressure. It was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion. By this point, he had absorbed some of the power of chaos, and twelve pairs of inky black wings sprouted from his back. Each pair of wings was adorned with strange runes, emitting a chilling aura.
"Hand over three tears, and I'll leave you with your whole body." The Pavilion Master's voice was cold and oppressive, as if it came from the Netherworld. His gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing Yun Yao straight, as if he could see through her heart.
Yun Yao felt the "Tears of Memory" within her body tremble violently, and a strange yet familiar memory flooded into her consciousness like a tide. It was her entire memory of the modern Su Yao, from her warm family to her busy work life, every moment was crystal clear. But at the same time, she knew that if the "Tears of Memory" fully awakened, she would completely become the Fairy Yunhua, without any mortal emotions.
"Yun Yao, don't push yourself." Chu Mochen noticed Yun Yao's abnormality and quickly held her hand, saying with concern. His palm was warm and strong, giving Yun Yao a sense of peace of mind.
Yun Yao saw the worry in Chu Mochen's eyes, and her heart couldn't help but ripple. At this moment, the system's voice sounded again: "The host must make a choice - retaining mortal memories will forever be unable to fight against the laws of nature; giving up memories will gain the power to destroy heaven and earth."
This difficult decision weighed on Yun Yao like a huge rock, leaving her breathless. On one hand, she had to protect her loved ones and the human world, while on the other, she had to preserve her own emotions and memories as a mortal. Just as she was caught in this dilemma, the Pavilion Master suddenly launched an attack.
Twelve pairs of black wings flapped simultaneously, sending countless jet-black energy beams raining down upon Yun Yao and the others. Chu Mochen reacted swiftly, drawing his Cold Abyss Sword and unleashing the "Taichu Sword Technique." Sword energy surged forth, forming a solid barrier of sword energy around them. However, the Pavilion Master's power was too formidable, and the barrier began to crack under the impact of the energy beams.
"I can't go on like this!" Yun Yao gritted her teeth, a daring idea suddenly forming in her mind. She activated the "Nine Transformations of the Great Void," attempting to forcibly merge Su Yao's memories with the power of Fairy Yun Hua. However, during the fusion process, a powerful repulsive force erupted from the depths of her sea of consciousness, as if preventing her from breaking the boundary between the two.
"Ah!" Yun Yao fell to her knees in agony, clutching her head tightly in her hands. In her mind, Su Yao's memories and the power of Fairy Yun Hua were like two colliding flames, constantly tearing at her consciousness.
"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen was terribly anxious, wanting to rush over to help her, but he was entangled by the Pavilion Master's attack. He swung the Hanyuan Sword faster and faster, but every time it collided with the Pavilion Master's energy, he felt a surge of energy and blood.
Just as Yun Yao was about to collapse, the system's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "The host's strong will has been detected, and a special auxiliary program is being activated." A soft light shone from the system's spiritual ring and merged into Yun Yao's sea of consciousness. This light nourished her consciousness like spring rain, easing the conflict between Su Yao's memories and the power of Fairy Yunhua.
Aided by the light, translucent lines of both immortal and demonic energy began to emerge from Yun Yao's body. These strange lines shone with a mysterious light, imbuing the purity of immortal energy with the strangeness of demonic energy. The System Master's shocked voice echoed again: "This is the ancient 'Chaos Dao Body'! The breakthrough that Fairy Yun Hua failed to achieve, you have achieved in the Void Realm!"
With the awakening of her Chaos Dao Body, Yun Yao's power began to surge. She slowly stood up, her eyes gleaming with determination. Now, she was no longer the Yun Yao lost in her decision, but a being possessed of immense power, powerful enough to defy the Heavenly Dao.
"Chu Mochen, I'm fine." Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen and said with a smile. Her voice was soft but full of strength.
Chu Mochen watched Yun Yao's transformation with both surprise and worry. He knew that although Yun Yao had gained powerful strength, there must be a huge price hidden behind it.
"Since you've chosen to resist, be prepared to bear the consequences!" Upon seeing Yun Yao's transformation, the Pavilion Master's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The chaotic energy in the sky began to converge frantically, forming a massive black vortex.
"Oh no, he is summoning a more powerful force of chaos!" System Lord warned loudly.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and channeled the power of the "Tears of Vitality" into the Jinghong Sword. The sword suddenly erupted with a dazzling, rainbow-colored light, forming a stark contrast to the surrounding chaotic energy. She swung the sword, unleashing Fairy Yunhua's unique skill, "Jinghong Reflection," sending countless rays of colorful sword light blazing towards the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master snorted coldly and waved his hands. A black shield appeared before him. The colorful sword light and the black shield collided with each other, erupting in a deafening roar. Powerful energy waves spread out from the collision point, tearing the ground into huge cracks wherever they passed.
Just as Yun Yao and the Pavilion Master were engaged in a fierce battle, nine golden beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, and twelve messengers dressed in divine robes descended from the sky. Their aura was even more powerful than the Pavilion Master's, and each of their eyes seemed to be able to see through a person's soul.
The leading "Golden Palace Envoy" spoke coldly: "You ants from the lower realm, how dare you rebel against the way of heaven? Your existence itself is a sin." His voice was like a huge bell, carrying a kind of superior majesty.
Yun Yao sensed that the Jinque Envoy's realm was far above the Void Realm, actually reaching the peak of the Void Realm, just one step away from the Mahayana Realm. This discovery made her heart tighten, knowing that this would be an unprecedented fierce battle.
"Chu Mochen, this time we'll face this together." Yun Yao held Chu Mochen's hand tightly, her eyes firm as she spoke. She merged the "Tears of Decision" into the Jinghong Sword, and the Sword's light became even more dazzling.
Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao and nodded. He gripped the Hanyuan Sword tightly, ready to fight alongside Yun Yao. A war that would determine the fate of the cultivation world, and even involve the secrets of the divine realm, was about to begin... And the astonishing power of the Chaos Dao Body, gained through this difficult decision, would unleash in this battle remained unknown.
