After the holy light entered the Xufa Great World, the world membrane was quickly repaired by a layer of flowing, blood-like fluid.
But this brief moment was enough for Chen Xu to catch a glimpse of the situation inside.
The Xufa Great World had completely fallen.
There was not a single normal living being left in the world; every creature had been corrupted and turned into a fallen one.
A fierce, violent aura hid at the center of the world, coiled and ready to swallow any prey that dared to intrude.
The world membrane sealed completely, cutting off Chen Xu's view of the interior.
“Something is wrong, very wrong.”
Although this aura carried Hell's signature Dao of Corruption, corruption shouldn't be this adhesive.
In the Xufa World, everything had been eroded by corruption.
Not just living souls, but even the earth, water, sky—all physical matter was affected by the corruption.
If this were Hell or a world parasitized by a Blood Demon, such a state of affairs would be understandable.
But how long had the Xufa World been invaded? Not even a single day. How could it be so heavily eroded by corruption?
There was only one possibility: something else was mixed in with that corruption.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in Chen Xu's mind, and the words “Blank Zone” surfaced.
Right when he had “acquired” the Elemental Spirit Realm for free, the Mother of Hell had seized the opportunity to occupy the Blank Zone.
If the bizarre situation inside the Xufa World was combined with the Dao of the Blank Zone, it instantly made perfect sense.
The Dao of Blankness of the Blank Zone could either be a void of absolute nothingness or a pure state containing only a single element.
The Mother of Hell had attached the properties of the Dao of Blankness to the Dao of Corruption, turning it into a devastating weapon that could rapidly erode worlds.
No matter what tier a powerhouse belonged to, the surrounding environment played a crucial role in the battle.
The Mother of Hell could fight multiple Dao Lords in Hell.
On the battlefield of demons and angels, once the Radiant Sun rose, unless Hell deployed twice as many Hell Archdukes to hold the line, they could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Expeditionary Force slaughtered the demons like they had activated Peerless mode.
In the past, Hell could only rely on the tiny bit of corruption aura emitted by the demons themselves, as well as a small amount of highly concentrated corruption aura brought over when the Hellgate opened.
This level of corruption was incredibly lethal against ordinary worlds and ordinary transcendents, like the former Blue Star and Akhan civilizations.
But once they encountered opponents of the same caliber, like the Heavenly Expeditionary Force, the demons' corruption became a fatal weakness.
The enemy's field magic was a holy sun that could directly radiate across multiple worlds, while their own field magic relied on the body odor of the demons themselves.
But now, with the addition of the Dao of Blankness, this situation was completely reversed.
Just as Chen Xu thought, a blazing holy sun rose within the Xufa World, its holy light penetrating the world membrane and diffusing outward.
The first ray of holy light emitted when the Radiant Sun was born was the most violent, overbearing, and penetrative.
Chen Xu was just about to make a move to block the holy light to prevent it from entering Blue Star and affecting the humans there.
He didn't want someone on Blue Star to suddenly turn into an angel the next day or start chanting the name of the Lord of Heaven.
But the Blue Star Heavenly Dao reacted even faster than Chen Xu. The young Daoist boy flashed forward, appearing in front of Chen Xu, and shouted at the top of his lungs without looking back.
“Big Brother Kunpeng, lend me your divine power!”
“Woo~ No problem.”
Under Chen Xu's bewildered gaze, Kunpeng actually shared its Power of Devouring with the Blue Star Heavenly Dao through Blue Star's water authority.
Using every ounce of his strength, the Blue Star Heavenly Dao unleashed the Power of Devouring. He not only swallowed the incoming holy light head-on but also devoured most of the holy light on Blue Star's side.
“Burp!”
Having swallowed the holy light, the Blue Star Heavenly Dao even let out a satisfied burp. This high-quality holy light was indeed a rare growth energy.
What intrigued Chen Xu even more was how the Blue Star Heavenly Dao and Kunpeng had discovered they could coordinate like this.
To temporarily lend Kunpeng's Power of Devouring to the Blue Star Heavenly Dao through the water authority... the profound mysteries contained within this filled Chen Xu with eager excitement.
He had a gut feeling that this definitely involved high-level applications of the World Dao. Once he deciphered it, he would be able to take a giant leap forward on his path of the World Dao.
However, the battle inside the Xufa World was still ongoing. Chen Xu could only make a mental note of it and wait for the conflict inside the Xufa World to settle before studying it further.
This holy sun greatly relieved the pressure on Alifa and the other Angel Priests.
Bathed in the holy light, the priests' fighting spirit soared as they began to purge the evil before them.
But suddenly, a streak of blood-red shot down from the sky like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the holy sun.
The blood-red representing corruption began to erode and expand outward from within the holy sun. In just a few breaths, the holy sun began to dim.
Scattered bloodstains first appeared on its dazzling surface, which quickly merged into patches, and the patches soon fused into one.
In the blink of an eye, the holy sun that once represented purity turned into a blood-red sun radiating corruption.
Under the control of the hidden Hell Demon King, the blood-red sun began to devour the matter within the Xufa World. The earth was torn apart, rivers and oceans slowly rose, and even the demons were pulled by gravity toward the sky.
With every piece of matter absorbed into the blood-red sun, the corruption aura it released grew stronger.
Under the invasion of this intense corruption aura, even the Eternal Rank Angel Priests began to feel deeply uncomfortable. Their strength was suppressed, leaving them only able to exert about seventy percent of their power.
Seeing this, Alifa knew they couldn't stay any longer, or they would only serve as more Eternal Rank nourishment for the blood-red sun.
Thus, he made a prompt decision. The phantom clock materialized once more, and its hands began to spin furiously counterclockwise.
The matter sucked into the blood-red sun actually began to reverse out of it. But with a slight exertion of force from the Demon King hiding in the dark, the Dao of Time was overwhelmed by the corruption, and the reversing matter was pulled back into the sun once more.
After the failed attempt, Alifa narrowed his range, letting the Dao of Time wrap only around himself and the other Angel Priests.
Afterimages flickered, and Alifa and the other Angel Priests retreated from the Xufa World.
Immediately after, Alifa pulled out a page of a contract emitting a faint holy light from his secret tome.
The moment the contract appeared, all the Angel Priests bowed their heads in respect.
Alifa channeled holy light into the contract while chanting a hymn of praise.
In the next moment, a familiar aura wafted over to Chen Xu. The Lord of Heaven used the contract to generate a temporary projection.
The projection of the Lord of Heaven first looked at the Xufa World ahead, then turned to look at Blue Star—or more precisely, at Chen Xu, who was hiding on Blue Star.
Chen Xu didn't respond, merely standing with his hands behind his back, calmly meeting the gaze.
The Lord of Heaven didn't keep staring either. He quickly withdrew his gaze, turned back, raised his left hand, and fired a beam of holy light.
The holy light beam instantly struck the Xufa World. Under the baptism of this top-tier holy light in the myriad worlds, everything in the Xufa World dissolved into nothingness.
The blood-red sun, the world origin—all of it was completely obliterated by the holy light.
This sight made the Blue Star Heavenly Dao lament the waste, his teeth gnashing as if he had just lost a fortune.
Suddenly, the voice of the Mother of Hell echoed from the void.
“Hahaha! Heaven, changing worlds turns out to be so much fun. Remember to go back and tell those servants of yours to watch their backs.
The demons are returning to the myriad worlds, bearing Hell's gifts!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”
