When the crimson light pillar exploded, the mysterious and terrifying power contained within it erupted as well. The scene was like a volcanic eruption, with the dreadful force spreading overwhelmingly in all directions.
Despite Saint Monk Pudu and over a dozen other holy monks desperately trying to resist, they were still shaken until they vomited blood. Even the two wrathful incarnations of the Golden-Bodied Arhats were forced back incessantly by this terrifying power.
At the same time.
Shangguan Yu, Shi Tian.
The Purple Dawn King, the Third Prince, the First Prince, Female Sect Leader Ye Tianlan, and others, including the Great Luo Golden Immortals of Cloud End led by Lie Shan, all resisted at the first moment.
Although they were all impacted more or less by this dreadful force, thanks to their timely reactions, the effect was not significant, and none suffered any injuries.
"No!
—Don't!"
"All of you, go die!"
An enraged and irrational shout was heard. Everyone saw a white-haired Xiao Jinr, after the crimson light pillar exploded, charging toward the blood moon in the night sky that had been sealed by the Buddhist swastika character mark.
"Audacious Calamity Star! I, the World Enforcer, am here! How dare you act recklessly!"
Seeing this scene, Lie Shan was greatly alarmed and did not dare delay. Raising the World Command Banner high with his right hand, he shouted, "The world is the foundation, the realm is the source, the command is the Dao, the banner is the law! In the name of the World Enforcer, I beseech the World's Supreme, with the power of the origin and the way of the laws, to descend the World's Judgment and execute the Present-Ancient Calamity Star!"
Seeing this.
Pudu, disregarding his own injuries, desperately shouted, "No!
You must not!
We have already sealed the blood moon! She cannot fuse with it for now, and her soul cannot awaken! You must not kill her!
She cannot be killed!
Doing this will not only fail to kill her but will also enrage her soul!
Stop quickly!
Stop!"
Pudu rushed over recklessly, trying to stop them, but he was too late. When Lie Shan raised the World Command Banner high and chanted the name of the law, the banner in his hand instantly erupted with dazzling violet-gold radiance. The light shot straight into the sky, and in an instant, the entire world was enveloped in violet-gold. For a moment, the world seemed to awaken as if it possessed life.
It truly seemed to have life. The violet-gold night sky was filled with surging winds, clouds, and flashes of lightning and thunder. In the very center of the night sky, a vortex appeared at some unknown time. As it rotated, it seemed to churn the entire sky.
This was the Source of Judgment, also the Eye of Judgment.
However, it was not a judgment from the Great Dao, but a judgment from this world.
Gazing at this Source of Judgment from the world, the Three Great Titans and Female Sect Leader Ye Tianlan all showed slight changes in their expressions, signaling those beside them to carefully retreat. They all knew: Heaven and Earth have the Great Dao, space has order, and the world has laws.
The judgment of the Great Dao is certainly terrifying, but due to the constraints of spatial order and the world's laws, its power is greatly diminished when it descends.
But the judgment of the world originates from the origin of this world, carried out through the world's laws.
This is absolute power.
It is not something you can resist just because your cultivation is profound, nor can you withstand it just because your strength is formidable.
This is the judgment of the world, the judgment of the laws, and simultaneously the judgment of space.
As long as you are in this world, you are within this space. As long as you are within this space, you are within the laws.
As long as you are within the laws, you cannot evade the judgment of this world. If you cannot evade it, you will suffer endless, ceaseless judgment until you are utterly judged to death.
Escape?
Sorry.
Once locked on by the world, this world becomes your heaven and earth. Trying to escape is harder than ascending to the heavens.
Therefore, facing the World's Judgment, there are only two paths to choose: either die, or destroy this world.
Die?
No one is willing to die.
Destroy this world?
Who dares?
Who can?
Who has the qualification?
Whether it was Female Sect Leader Ye Tianlan or the Three Great Mysterious Titans, none of them in this world dared, could, or had the qualification to claim they had the ability to destroy this world.
"Master, is Cloud End...
...going to judge Xiao Jinr to death?"
Looking at the Eye of Judgment in the sky that resembled a violet-gold vortex, Yun Wan was somewhat afraid, but more than that, she could not bear it. She could not bear to see Xiao Jinr judged to death like this. Trembling, she said, "Is there really no other way?"
Female Sect Leader Ye Tianlan's expression was very grim. She shook her head and said nothing, only gazing at the violet-gold night sky.
Yes.
There was no way.
No one could save Xiao Jinr.
Because she knew that when the crimson light pillar exploded, when Xiao Jinr charged toward the blood moon, what appeared in the night sky was not just this Source of Judgment from the world. Simultaneously, there was also the Source of Judgment from the Immortal Dao, the Source of Judgment from the Demonic Dao, and the Source of Judgment from the Demonic Dao. Moreover, all the Great Dao Envoys lurking in this world had revealed themselves, waiting for an opportunity. If the World's Judgment failed to obliterate Xiao Jinr, they would act immediately.
"No!
Stop quickly!
Stop!"
Pudu looked up at the heavens, shouting hoarsely, "The blood moon has been sealed by us! She cannot fuse with it, and her soul cannot awaken! As long as this old monk takes her back to the Western Heaven to be sealed, everything will be peaceful! Why must you kill her!
Why!
She is the Daoless Calamity Star! She cannot be killed, and she cannot die!
!!
Doing this will not only fail to kill her but will also enrage her soul, causing her to awaken!
!!
Stop quickly!
Stop!"
Pudu's shouts were heard, but unfortunately, no one paid heed. Although he was the Buddhist sovereign of this world, in this world, he could neither stop this world from descending its judgment nor stop the judgment of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
"No!
No!
—You can't!"
Looking at the Eye of Judgment from the world in the night sky, and then at the hidden Eyes of Judgment from the Great Dao above the night sky, Su Hua felt the heavens and earth spinning, her heart stopping, and darkness filling her eyes. She plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground. She scrambled up and, disregarding her exhausted and drained body, forcefully leaped into the air.
She was going to save Xiao Jinr. Even knowing she likely couldn't save her, she had to try. Even at the cost of her own life, she would not hesitate.
In Su Hua's heart, Xiao Jinr was the only glimmer of light in this dark world, the only patch of pure land in this filthy world. She was also Su Hua's hope, a kind of spiritual sustenance.
She would not, and did not allow, anyone to kill Xiao Jinr.
She did not allow it.
At this moment, Su Hua's world was utterly silent. She could see nothing, hear nothing. Her eyes held only Xiao Jinr charging toward the blood moon.
Whoosh!
An intense violet-gold light pierced Su Hua's eyes.
This violet-gold radiance came from the Eye of Judgment of this world in the night sky.
The violet-gold radiance, containing unparalleled absolute power, enveloped Xiao Jinr.
Was Xiao Jinr going to die?
No!
Xiao Jinr could not die!
She absolutely must not die!
Su Hua closed her eyes. It was not because she could not bear to watch, nor was she giving up. She had decided to gamble—to burn her immortal spirit to gamble on whether she could summon Gu Qingfeng!
"Gu—Qing—Feng!
! Jin'er is in mortal danger!
! Come quickly—"
