Chapter 1182: Goodbye White Light

Chen Mobai stood on Pluto, which was covered in pure white radiance.

After the death of the Queen of the Underworld, all life on the planet had been extinguished by him. Although he had committed many massacres in the Tianhe Realm before, this was his first time completely annihilating all life on a planet. It wasn't that he felt burdened, but rather that it happened too quickly. After all, Pluto was a powerful entity; whether it was the Underworld King, the Queen of the Underworld, or the First Underworld General, all were top-tier God Transformation cultivators. It even possessed foundational Sixth-Tier powers like the River of Death and the Lake of Reincarnation. Unfortunately, despite all this, it was effortlessly annihilated by the Immortal Sect's all-out Chaos Primordial Qi Cannon.

Was the Great Dao of Destruction truly that powerful? Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai recalled that Bai Guang had long ago comprehended this Great Dao. No wonder, with her cultivation level shortly after entering the Void Refinement stage, she could remotely control the sword intent within the white stone and confront the avatar of Death. After personally experiencing the Great Dao of Destruction, Chen Mobai felt that his previous consideration of suppressing Bai Guang was somewhat inappropriate. It's better for a couple to live in harmony; if they frequently fought, their daughter would surely be sad. In the future, if they met, it would be best to avoid conflict and prioritize a good conversation.

Thinking of Bai Guang, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered her earlier statement that the true body of Death would be handled by her. He wondered if she had found the true body of Death in the universe after all these years. With her two Great Daos, Destruction and Killing Destiny, although her cultivation might not be as profound as Death's, if they met, it might be Death who had to flee. Of course, if Death had comprehended the Innate Great Dao of Life and Death, Bai Guang might not fare so well. Chen Mobai felt a slight worry in his heart. After all, his ability to annihilate Pluto and even control the power of destruction this time was largely thanks to the sword intent Bai Guang had left for him. He had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. If Bai Guang were killed by Death, Chen Mobai swore he would avenge her.

As he thought this, a vague image suddenly flashed in Chen Mobai's mind: Bai Guang, holding the Sword of Oblivion, with most of her body already swallowed by a void-like dark vortex, only her upper body and hands remaining. This scene startled him profoundly. Chen Mobai didn't know why he could see this. But soon, he knew the reason.

He saw Pluto, covered in destructive white light, continuously disintegrating. However, the power of the Great Dao of Death, which was being crushed and dispersed by the Great Dao of Destruction, was constantly condensing, transforming into dark liquid drops—just like the dissolving body of the Queen of the Underworld—and relentlessly gathering towards the planet's core. Soon, the destructive white light annihilated all matter. Only these dark and profound powers of the Great Dao of Death remained, gradually forming a black vortex. And this black vortex was almost identical to the one in Chen Mobai's mind that was devouring Bai Guang. Was it the power of Death?

Chen Mobai's expression immediately tensed. Without hesitation, he instantly controlled the pure white radiance, now at its peak after annihilating Pluto, and spread it over the black vortex. Although as the pure white radiance descended, the black vortex formed by the Great Dao of Death became increasingly condensed, and under the power of destruction, death also gradually began to dissipate. However, the Great Dao of Death that Death had left on Pluto was condensed with the Devil Lord's entrusted thought as its core. Even though the Great Dao of Destruction was of a higher rank, it could only slowly wear down the vortex, unable to vaporize and evaporate it as easily as it did with the Underworld King, Queen of the Underworld, and other beings.

Chen Mobai felt a bit anxious, unsure how to help Bai Guang. Just then, at the center of the black death vortex, a familiar gleam of light suddenly appeared. Then, amidst a clanging sword hum, a section of a gleaming sword blade pierced out from the vortex's center. Chen Mobai quickly recognized it as the Sword of Oblivion. Bai Guang was on the other side of the vortex?!

Realizing this, Chen Mobai was startled. As he pondered how to offer assistance, he noticed that the almost infinite destructive white light around him suddenly seemed to find a focal point. It stopped wearing down the intensely condensed Great Dao of Death and surged towards the tip of the Sword of Oblivion instead. In just a few breaths, the pure white radiance that had annihilated all of Pluto was completely absorbed by the Sword of Oblivion. At this moment, the blade of the Sword of Oblivion also burst forth with a cold, white light, slicing open a sliver of the previously condensed and solid black vortex. Through this sliver of a crack in the vortex, Chen Mobai saw the pristine white hand holding the Sword of Oblivion.

He opened his mouth to say something, but then saw the death vortex suddenly transform into the hooded face of Death. Its deep, dark eyes stared intently at Chen Mobai. Although no words were spoken, cold hatred was clearly conveyed. "You and your planet will pay the price!" Evidently, Death had immediately known of Pluto's annihilation. Chen Mobai believed it was because the power of the Great Dao of Death left by Death on Pluto was activated by the destructive white light, but even if he knew this, he would still have proceeded. After all, ever since the avatar of Death was sealed, Pluto and Di Yuan Star had been in an unending conflict.

"Once I devour this woman, you will be next. No matter which sanctuary you hide in, I will find you." Death again conveyed cold words. But Chen Mobai felt no fear at all. Not to mention what methods Death might have to track him, even if it could plant a mark of hatred like the Xuan Jiao Royal Court, he could simply hide in the Tianhe Realm. He didn't believe Death could pursue him all the way to the Tianhe Realm. Furthermore, in this universe, Chen Mobai could still enter the Purple Heavens Palace. Let alone Death, even his senior brother who had mastered the Innate Great Dao of Life and Death, or even the Devil Lord, would not dare to act presumptuously in the Purple Heavens Palace. "I'll be waiting for you!" Chen Mobai, facing Death's threat, merely replied with this sentence, his expression arrogant. Death's deep, dark eyes seemed close to igniting with spectral fire.

At this moment, the Sword of Oblivion had finished refining all the destructive white light, and its blade slowly began to retreat back into the vortex. As the blade moved across the vortex, Chen Mobai vaguely glimpsed the scene on the other side once more. Finally, their gazes met. After a long separation, the couple suddenly didn't know what to say to each other. But even if they could speak, it was unlikely their words would carry across. After all, though seemingly just inside and outside the vortex, an infinite number of galaxies, perhaps even half the universe, separated them.

Chen Mobai saw Bai Guang's lips tremble slightly, as if she was transmitting a message to him. He instantly used the Minor Realm Scripture to learn the Immortal Sect's lip-reading, deciphering her meaning. "Don't worry about me. I'll deal with Death soon. You just take good care of our daughter in the Immortal Sect." Chen Mobai, who had originally intended to say something affectionate to Bai Guang, suddenly felt indignant after deciphering her message. Because Bai Guang's words made it sound as if he were a househusband, entirely dependent on Bai Guang, the mother, to fight battles outside, making him a kept man. How could he, the Immortal Sect's most talented person of all time, who sat in the first row of the Purple Heavens Palace, the last closed-door disciple of Daoist Zi Xiao, let his wife bear all the pressure? "I'm taking excellent care of our daughter; she's about to form her Nascent Soul and become one of the three Palace Masters of the Immortal Sect. Don't you dare die, or else I'll get her a stepmother in a heartbeat..."

Chen Mobai didn't know if Bai Guang understood lip-reading, but halfway through his message, the gap cut by the Sword of Oblivion in the center of the black vortex, formed by the Great Dao of Death, gradually began to close. Bai Guang's image and voice vanished from Chen Mobai's sight. Chen Mobai's heart immediately seized with urgency, pondering how he could help Bai Guang on the other side of the vortex. In a confrontation between Void Refinement cultivators, his various powerful magical artifacts and trump cards, which he was so proud of, were utterly useless. Items like the Primordial Chaos Bell and the Primordial Yang Sword were also in the hands of his main body within the Immortal Sect. If they were here, perhaps their deployment could have some effect on this death vortex, possibly being the final straw that allows Bai Guang to escape her predicament.

"Right, and there's this..." Thinking of magical artifacts, Chen Mobai suddenly remembered that what he had here was merely a destruction avatar formed by his mind, but the Lingxiao Immortal Armor had been blasted over along with the Chaos Primordial Qi Cannon. "Please, senior, go and lend my wife a hand. If she can be saved, I will certainly help you advance further in the future, to wield destruction!" Chen Mobai quickly explained Bai Guang's situation to the Lingxiao Immortal Armor. Its artifact spirit hesitated for a moment, then accepted the promise he offered. "With the talents of you two, you might truly be able to attain the Dao of Destruction in the future. I hope I can pass through this Great Dao of Death."

After receiving the Lingxiao Immortal Armor's response, Chen Mobai immediately poured all the destructive power condensed by his destruction avatar into the immortal armor. He then dissipated into the universe. The Lingxiao Immortal Armor also spread out from his body, reforming into a white block. Carrying a fierce white cold light, it resembled a pure white bolt of lightning, pressing against the tip of the Sword of Oblivion, which had not yet fully retracted, at the last moment. The moment the sword tip touched the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, a pure white light of destruction simultaneously flared. And Chen Mobai's mind, at the instant the Lingxiao Immortal Armor and the light of destruction vanished simultaneously, returned to his main body outside the Di Yuan Star's firmament.

He opened his eyes, immediately swung his sleeve, and poured immense void power into the nearby realm gate. With a thunderous roar, the realm gate, which he had sealed to only a narrow slit, suddenly burst wide open under his sleeve. "Chunyang..." Qi Yuheng and the others behind him merely called out, rushing forward to celebrate Pluto's annihilation by the Chaos Primordial Qi Cannon, only to find that Chen Mobai had already stepped into the realm gate and vanished. Amidst flickering silver light, Chen Mobai had already activated the power of the realm gate, descending into the void at the border of the Tianyang star system where Pluto had disappeared.
