71: Final Fusion 2

"Roar—!" The Chaos Devourer let out a painful roar, and the entire Source World trembled with the soundwave.

It counterattacked frantically, darkness condensing into billions of sharp spikes, assailing the Body Integration from all directions.

The Body Integration put his hands together, and a rainbow light burst forth: "Chaos Domain, open!"

A strange Domain with a diameter of a thousand zhang unfolded, with rainbow light flowing within it, like a miniature creation space.

After the dark spikes pierced into the Domain, their speed drastically decreased, finally coming to a standstill.

"Perish," the Body Integration said again, and the stagnant spikes turned into dust.

The Chaos Devourer seemed to realize that ordinary attacks were ineffective, and suddenly contracted into a core as black as ink, then burst forth violently!

Countless black runes rained down like a storm, each rune representing a negative emotion—fear, despair, hatred, jealousy...

These runes ignored the obstruction of the Chaos Domain, directly penetrating it and sticking to the surface of the Body Integration.

Negative emotions surged in like a tide, attempting to disintegrate the trinity Fusion from within.

"It's useless," the Body Integration said calmly, "Flame Lord's golden bridge stabilizes our Souls; your erosion cannot succeed."

Chaos rainbow light burst from within the Body Integration, shattering the black runes one by one.

The Body Integration seized the opportunity to surge forward, striking the core of the Chaos Devourer with a punch!

This punch contained the complete power of the plane of origin, enough to create heaven and earth.

"Crack!"

A clear cracking sound resounded through the sky, and a crack appeared in the core of the Chaos Devourer!

Darkness oozed from the crack like blood, and wherever it passed, space was corroded into countless holes.

"It's effective!" Inside the Body Integration, the consciousnesses of the three cheered simultaneously.

Just as the Body Integration was preparing to press the advantage, an unexpected change occurred—Ling Xiao's portion of the Soul suddenly trembled violently, and a deeply hidden black light emerged from within!

"What is this...?" Xiao Bing's consciousness exclaimed.

"A hidden move left by the Chaos Devourer!" Xiao Yan immediately understood, "It had already planted a seed deep within Ling Xiao's Soul!"

Ling Xiao's consciousness was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry... I... I didn't notice..."

This subtle flaw was keenly captured by the Chaos Devourer.

Ignoring the damage to its core, it fully activated the contaminating seed.

The rainbow light on the surface of the Body Integration immediately became chaotic, sometimes with a great burst of green light, sometimes with a surge of blue light, unable to maintain a stable state.

"Ah—!" The Body Integration let out a painful roar, plummeting from high in the sky and crashing heavily into the ground, kicking up a thousand zhang of dust.

How could the Chaos Devourer let go of this opportunity?

Darkness pressed down like a curtain of heaven, completely covering the area where the Body Integration was located.

Terrifying corrosive power began to penetrate, and the rainbow light visibly dimmed at a rapid pace.

Inside the Body Integration, the consciousnesses of the three were fiercely battling the contaminating seed.

Ling Xiao's part was already largely enveloped by black mist, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Bing desperately tried to help him purify it, but with little effect.

"Brother... abandon me..." Ling Xiao's consciousness grew weaker and weaker, "Otherwise, we will all..."

"Don't say such foolish things!" Xiao Yan interrupted sharply, "Flame Lord didn't sacrifice himself to see us give up!"

Xiao Bing suddenly had a flash of insight: "Wait... what Flame Lord said... 'Alchemy is like being human; it requires the Heart as a guide'... Perhaps..."

"You mean...?" Xiao Yan also reacted.

"The Heart of Chaos!" Xiao Bing's consciousness became firm, "It is Flame Lord's heart, containing the purest will of guardianship!"

The three immediately adjusted their strategy, no longer confronting the contamination head-on, but instead guiding the power of the Heart of Chaos to construct a "Wall of Guardianship" deep within Ling Xiao's Soul.

Wherever the red light passed, although the black mist was not cleared, its spread stopped.

The rainbow light on the surface of the Body Integration stabilized again; although not as strong as before, it was enough to temporarily resist the Chaos Devourer's erosion.

A rainbow-light-condensed arm stretched out from the darkness, firmly pressing against the descending dark curtain of heaven.

"It's not... over..." The Body Integration struggled to stand, his knees already sinking into the ground, "Ling Xiao, hold on!"

Ling Xiao's consciousness flickered in and out of the black mist: "I'm trying... but its contamination is too deep..."

The Chaos Devourer seemed to sense victory was within reach, and the darkness pressed down even more violently.

The Body Integration knelt on one knee, his rainbow light shield continuously shrinking, on the verge of collapsing.

Just at this critical moment, a golden light suddenly burst from the Body Integration's chest—it was the last trace of Soul Power left by Flame Lord!

In the golden light, the illusory figure of the old man appeared, looking at the three children with affection, then transforming into countless specks of light and merging into Ling Xiao's contaminated Soul.

"Teacher!" The consciousnesses of the three cried out simultaneously.

A miracle happened—wherever the golden light passed, the black mist melted rapidly like snow meeting the scorching sun!

It wasn't a forceful purification, but rather like an elder comforting a frightened child, gently yet firmly dispelling those negative emotions.

"I understand..." Ling Xiao's consciousness suddenly became clear, "The Chaos Devourer used my loneliness and fear... and Teacher's love... is its nemesis!"

The Body Integration seized the opportunity to burst forth, rainbow light soaring into the sky, tearing open a gap in the dark curtain of heaven!

The Chaos Devourer let out a painful roar, and the crack in its core further expanded.

"Now!" The Body Integration put his hands together, all the rainbow light converging inward, forming a miniature "Chaos Rainbow Lotus" in his palms, "Trinity · Light of Creation!"

The rainbow lotus flew from his hands, tracing a brilliant arc in the air, striking directly into the core crack of the Chaos Devourer!

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribable explosion illuminated the entire Source World; whether it was the fleeing populace or the struggling allied army, everyone stopped their actions, looking up at the rainbow light that illuminated heaven and earth.

As the light gradually dissipated, the core of the Chaos Devourer was already shattered, and darkness receded like a tide.

The cracks in the sky began to slowly heal, and sunlight once again bathed the earth after many days.

The Body Integration slowly descended, the rainbow light gradually separating, reforming into three figures.

Xiao Yan's light-form was much more solidified than before, Xiao Bing was tired but his eyes were bright, and Ling Xiao knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"We... won?" Xiao Bing looked around in disbelief.

Ling Xiao touched his chest: "The contamination... has completely disappeared."

Xiao Yan's light-form floated between the two, gently "embracing" them: "It was Teacher's love... that defeated the Chaos Devourer..."

The three silently looked up at the sky, where Flame Lord's figure was no longer visible, only a wisp of golden light flowing among the clouds, like the old man's contented smile.
