Chapter 459: A Pair of Fiends Reclaimed by the Heavens!

Chapter 459: A Pair of Fiends Reclaimed by the Heavens!

In a spectacle that was destined to sear itself into the memory of every soul within the Primordial Ruins for thousands of years, she was to be burned alive for all to see. This act would echo across countless worlds, marking the final chapter in a saga of vanquishing evil.

With this pyre, Lian Xi was to be cast into the abyss of sin, much like the ancestors of the Martial Emperor Clan before her. Branded a disaster, she was doomed to never rise again.

"Lian Xi!"

The defenders who stood by Lian Xi, clad in white robes, wept blood and tears as their rage erupted like molten lava. With the shattering of the Primordial Pagoda, they were left with no retreat. To step back was to plunge into a hell of blood and fire.

"Save her!"

With a cry of sorrow and fury, they soared into the skies, white robes billowing and immortal power bursting forth, chasing after the Mystic Earth Immortal.

"Are these fiend's minions still refusing to see reason? Where are the guardians of justice?" the Mystic Earth Immortal coldly proclaimed.

"To protect the Three Immortals, to slaughter the disaster's hounds!"

Hearing this, the crowd's eyes blazed with fury. Millions, stirred by a righteous fervor, charged forth, forming a flesh barrier in front of those in white robes.

"Brethren, hand in hand, let's build a wall of life to protect the true way of heaven and earth!"

Moved to tears by the descendants of the Three Immortals, the beings of the Primordial Ruins joined hands, creating a vast human net to shield from those in white.

One by one, these nets formed a barricade. Behind it stood countless people, their courage and spirit of sacrifice moving them to tears, as they roared in defiance.

"For the peace of all worlds for generations to come, I am willing to die!"

"Kill me! Behind my corpse, stand millions more like me!"

"Come then, kill!"

Their roars, filled with desperation and determination, echoed. Clasping the hands of their comrades, they advanced towards those in white, their sheer numbers forming an iron cage that trapped them in place.

"Sister, let's fight our way through!" Yun Dahe's face twisted in agony as he roared, his mind nearly exploding with rage.

"They are but hosts to parasites, their wills overtaken, innocent..." Dean Yu was not one to hesitate. Her resolve was steel when she faced Yuan Xianjun and his ilk, showing no mercy.

But facing these mind-controlled civilians of the Primordial Ruins, who could truly call for blood without a tremble in their heart?

Above them all, the laughter of the Mystic Earth Immortal rang out, unbridled and mocking.

To him, Dean Yu and her companions were never truly contenders. The gulf between them was too vast; perhaps, in his eyes, the game had ended with the destruction of the Primordial Pagoda.

The dismantling of the Primordial Pagoda, despite the long preparation, proved effortless. Far easier than the trials within the Immortal Asylum or the ventures into the Blood Devil Ruins.

"Invincibility brings its own solitude," the Mystic Earth Immortal murmured with a sigh.

Their astonishment proved that, despite being under the sway of the All-Life Devouring Gu, they retained their sense of self, capable of surprise and shock.

"An order has been given, to sweep away the anomaly, to maintain the order of the Dao."

As the inhabitants of the Primordial Ruins stood dazed, a booming voice filled the air, leaving everyone bewildered.

Then, the blood-colored hand swept down, accurately seizing a young man engulfed by the fire of decay. Encased as if by mountains formed of fingers, he was gripped tightly, unable to move.

"Swept clean!" The thunderous roar echoed through the heavens as the giant hand, after making its declaration, retracted back into the bloody void, and the colossal figure with five heads vanished into thin air.

Crackling and buzzing, the shattered sky began to mend itself, as if by magic. In moments, neither crack nor hole remained, replaced by a clear, bright expanse.

The onlookers were stunned, as if they had witnessed an illusion. Aside from bleeding ears, they were largely unaffected.

Then, the crowd noticed the only change.

"The fiend has been taken!"

"Hahaha!"

"It proves the old saying true; the wicked will be swept away by heaven!"

"Heaven's intervention confirms that this murderer was a dire plague upon the world!"

"Justice served!"

After the fall of Lian Xi, this was the second piece of great news today, even more dramatic, validating the righteousness of some. It sparked a frenzied celebration among the masses.

"A pair of fiends, both reclaimed by heaven!"

"To see the murderer smitten by divine wrath, and then the calamity bearer endure eternal fire, what a delight!"

From the gleeful and relieved looks among the crowd, it was clear: it was all over.

Yun Xiao might have been a beacon of hope for Dean Yu and others. But this catastrophic event struck them with renewed force, shattering any lingering hopes in the harsh reality of their situation.

"Dean Yu, it's time to flee, leave this place, never to return..." an elder in white robes cried.

"Silence!" Dean Yu's eyes blazed red.

"The minions of those fiends think to flee? Brothers, exterminate them!"

"To arms!"

The jubilant crowd surged forward again, driven by a frenzied desire for vengeance.

Under the watch of the sun and moon, mists rose over the Primordial Ruins, and tens of millions of contorted faces screamed in celebration, heralding the era they longed for.
