Jun Xiaoyao and the others fell into spherical constructs formed by dark, eerie energy.
These spheres were extremely strange, containing annihilation power and terrifying dark Qi, as if the power originated from the source.
Even someone as strong as Dao Emperor Jun Cangsheng required time to break out.
Not to mention the others.
It could be said that if it were any other living being, they would have instantly fallen into darkness.
Even an Emperor could not withstand it for a moment.
But the capabilities of Jun Xiaoyao and the others went without saying, and their Heart-Nature was flawless and perfect.
However, for figures like Emperor Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor, the problem was more significant.
Because they had personally suppressed the Black Calamity, they had already been eroded by the dark, eerie power, which had seeped deep into their bones.
Although they had been awakened previously, it was clearly only a temporary suppression, just enough to restore their clarity.
Unlike Xuanyuan Qingxiao, who had completely eradicated the darkness.
Of course, given the capabilities of Emperor Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor.
If they were given time to recover and recuperate.
They could also slowly and thoroughly resolve the eerie erosion within their bodies.
But unfortunately, they were not given the time or opportunity.
As soon as they regained their clarity, they immediately joined the great battle again.
Now, having been struck by this move from the Lord of the Calamity Source.
The situation could be described as dire.
"I originally intended to annihilate you, but now I suddenly feel that letting you fall into darkness would be better."
"Personally slaughtering the very existences you once sought to protect."
"That scene should be quite dramatic, don't you think..." the Lord of the Calamity Source said leisurely.
Especially after Emperor Xuanyuan's previous words, for some reason, he felt extremely displeased.
He wanted to see, when the time came, Emperor Xuanyuan falling into darkness once again.
Slaughtering the Boundary Sea he once protected, what kind of scene would that be?
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao looked around; everything was darkness.
And within this seemingly eternal darkness, numerous eerie illusions emerged.
They were all existences targeting the Soul, as if trying to lead people into an abyss of depravity.
At the same time, the dark, eerie power was crazily eroding them.
But Jun Xiaoyao remained motionless, his Divine Dharma Body radiating brilliant light.
His mind was clear, and he sat cross-legged in the center of his Divine Dharma Body.
He intended to break this illusion and shatter this dark, eerie power.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Qingxiao was fighting hard, trying to break open this dark barrier.
She was even feeling a bit anxious.
"Father..."
Xuanyuan Qingxiao knew that the one in the most critical situation was Emperor Xuanyuan.
After all, he was already at the end of his rope before, and then he was heavily injured again.
The situation could be imagined.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao and the others engulfed by the dark power.
On the side of the Boundary Sea, all the Cultivators and living beings turned pale instantly.
It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao and the others were now the only hope for the Boundary Sea.
If they were defeated and fell into darkness, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Not good..."
On this side, the Mythical Emperor of the Xuanyuan Clan, Emperor Huang, had a slight change in expression.
He wanted to intervene, but was blocked by Emperor Sansheng.
"The outcome is already set; it seems I, this Emperor, did not choose the wrong side or stand in the wrong camp."
Emperor Sansheng spoke leisurely, seemingly believing that the dust had settled.
Emperor Huang remained silent.
On the other side, the Mythical Emperor of the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace, Ancestor Yun Zhongzi, was single-handedly holding off the two strongest, the Mother Empress of the Devouring Clan and the Heaven-Devouring Evil Demon King.
But he was also paying attention to the battle over there.
"If there is anyone who might end this Black Calamity in this generation, it can only be those from the Jun Family..." Ancestor Yun Zhongzi muttered in his heart.
On the side of the Boundary Sea, the hearts of countless people felt as if they were being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The success or failure of Jun Xiaoyao and the others concerned the survival of the Boundary Sea.
Even though it was only a very short time, to everyone, it felt as long as ten thousand years.
Finally, at a certain moment.
Swoosh!
A sword light slashed through the darkness.
Dao Emperor Jun Cangsheng revealed his figure.
He still had white hair and wore Daoist robes, looking ethereal and untainted, completely unaffected by the dark, eerie power.
"Dao Emperor!"
On the Boundary Sea side, many Cultivators and living beings saw this, their eyes reddening with excitement.
The Dao Emperor had powerfully broken through the darkness without falling to the side of the Black Calamity.
The strong remain strong!
The Lord of the Calamity Source glanced at Jun Cangsheng indifferently.
He was not surprised.
Even the Lord of the Calamity Source had to admit that Jun Cangsheng's strength made it very difficult to make him fall into darkness.
Boom!
A few more tremors occurred.
Jun Xiaoyao, Ye Junlin, and Xuanyuan Qingxiao also broke through the darkness.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's gaze hurriedly fell toward the direction of Emperor Xuanyuan.
However, there was no movement there.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's heart sank.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression also carried a hint of gravity.
This did not mean that Emperor Xuanyuan and the others were weak.
It was because they had long been eroded by darkness.
Even though they were temporarily suppressed now, it was clearly impossible for them to fully recover as before.
And in this suffocating passage of time.
Thump!
There was finally movement from the direction of Emperor Xuanyuan.
The next moment, accompanied by a booming sound.
The dark cocoon shattered.
A figure emerged.
But...
What made everyone in the Boundary Sea's hearts sink was.
At this moment, Emperor Xuanyuan, covered in blood, was entwined with a dense aura of darkness.
"Father..."
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's expression changed, unable to remain calm.
On the other side, there was movement from the Immortal Spirit Emperor as well.
She also revealed her figure, but her body was also surging with a dense aura of darkness.
On the Boundary Sea side, many living beings felt their hearts weigh heavy upon seeing this.
"As expected, these two, Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor, have long exhausted their strength to reinforce the Great Immortal Array of the Origin of Ten Thousand Worlds to suppress me."
"For countless years, they have been suffering from dark, eerie erosion at every moment."
"They are long beyond saving; even Immortals could not save them."
The Lord of the Calamity Source spoke coldly, seemingly enjoying the pain and despair displayed on others' faces.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao clenched her jade hands.
Countless Cultivators of the Boundary Sea were silent, some even with tears in their eyes.
To be eroded by darkness at every moment for countless years.
What kind of wound was that, what kind of bone-deep pain?
It was simply ten thousand times more painful than being sliced by a thousand knives or having one's Soul burned!
However.
Both Emperor Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor had persisted.
It could be said that without them, the time of the Black Calamity's outbreak would definitely have been much earlier than now!
They were worthy of the names of Human Emperor and Earth Emperor!
Jiang Shengyi, who was some distance from the battlefield, saw this and wanted to intervene again, using the power of the Great Dao Immortal Heart to help them.
Jiang Shengyi could not bear to see such heroes fall into darkness again.
But Jun Xiaoyao cast a glance, secretly shaking his head to tell her not to come forward.
It was not that Jun Xiaoyao had no feelings or was unwilling to save Emperor Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor.
It was just that doing so now was completely meaningless and would not have much effect.
The Lord of the Calamity Source said indifferently: "Kill them."
He wanted Emperor Xuanyuan and the Immortal Spirit Emperor to slaughter each other with Jun Xiaoyao, Xuanyuan Qingxiao, and the others.
Such a scene of mutual slaughter would surely be very interesting.
However...
Emperor Xuanyuan, with his body wreathed in dark aura and his blood-stained hair covering his eyes.
Actually faced the Lord of the Calamity Source directly!
His aura surged, his heroic spirit piercing the heavens, his blood-stained long hair fluttering and scattering!
The pair of exposed eyes were as clear as the sun and moon!
