Chapter 876: Gear War: Laws Collapse
The sky of the Taixu Immortal Realm was dyed a dark purple by the shattered gears of the Heavenly Dao. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's figures appeared small yet resolute in the shadows of the intertwined gears. The Master of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion was wrapped in chains of law, and the broken gears suspended behind him creaked with a teeth-grinding sound, each rotation seeming to crush the space.
"The so-called unity of heaven's ways is nothing more than a cover for your plan to devour the essence of the world!" Yun Yao roared, chaotic spiritual energy condensing into blades at her fingertips. Her gaze was fixed on the faintly visible coordinates of modern Earth on the gears. That was her homeland, which she must protect at all costs.
The Pavilion Master laughed strangely, and the chains of law rushed out like poisonous snakes: "Ignorant youngster, this universe should be dominated by the strong!" The chains turned into thousands of phantoms, carrying a force enough to tear apart space, and came towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to strangle them.
A golden-red light surged around Chu Mochen, and the shadowy figure of the Candle Dragon roared out. The Ni Lin Blood Sword swung out a brilliant dragon-shaped sword energy, severing all the attacking chains. Yun Yao took the opportunity to unleash the "Chaos Domain", shrouding the entire battlefield in a chaotic mist, attempting to weaken the Pavilion Master's control over the Heavenly Dao Gear.
Suddenly, a blinding light erupted from the Heavenly Dao gears, and countless law puppets emerged from the cracks. Yun Yao's pupils constricted—one of the puppets bore a striking resemblance to her mother from the modern world! That familiar face was covered in distorted lines, and a strange, dim light flickered in its hollow eyes.
"Mother..." Yun Yao's voice trembled unconsciously, chaotic spiritual energy swirling around her. The gentle eyes of her mother who had once stood by her bedside intertwined with the hideous appearance of the puppet before her, piercing her heart.
"Be careful!" Chu Mochen cried out in alarm as the puppet mother, brandishing its sharp claws of law, charged towards them. Yun Yao suppressed her inner turmoil, gathering the power of the Judgment of the Star Realm at her fingertips. A brilliant beam of starlight descended. The puppet disintegrated piece by piece in the starlight, but before it completely dissipated, a blood-stained memory crystal core fell to the ground.
Yun Yao trembled as she picked up the crystal core, Chu Mochen guarding her vigilantly. The image that emerged from the core made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave—a vast chasm opened in the sky of modern Earth, and countless cultivators poured out, wantonly plundering spiritual energy. The city was reduced to ruins under the attack of the laws, and her family and friends fled in terror in the chaos.
"No!" Yun Yao's roar echoed across the battlefield, and chaotic spiritual energy surged wildly. Her system—now the Star Realm Terminal—beamed a piercing alarm: "Divine Realm interference detected. Earth's spiritual energy recovery has been accelerated. The countdown to destruction has begun!"
At that moment, the Pavilion Master suddenly appeared behind Yun Yao, and a pitch-black chain of laws pierced her back like lightning. Chu Mochen's pupils shrank suddenly. The shadow of the Candle Dragon roared and blocked Yun Yao's way. The Ni Lin Blood Sword collided with the chain, erupting in an earth-shattering roar.
"Want to save your Earth?" The Pavilion Master laughed sinisterly, "Then become the container of the core of Heaven!" As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, and the gears of Heaven spun wildly. More law puppets emerged from the void, surrounding Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao suddenly calmed down, her eyes becoming incredibly resolute. The memory core in her hand glowed brightly, and she integrated it into her Chaos Dao Foundation, awakening a new power within her. "You thought using my mother's illusion could sway me?" Yun Yao sneered. "You're wrong. This actually makes me more resolute!"
She raised her hands high, and the chaotic spiritual energy merged with the power of the astral realm, condensing into a massive chaotic blade of light. "Astral Judgment: End!" With a delicate cry, the blade of light streaked across the sky, shattering all the surrounding law puppets. Chu Mochen transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long candle dragon, sweeping its tail across, creating a massive crack in the Heavenly Dao gear.
The Pavilion Master's expression finally turned grim. He hadn't expected Yun Yao to achieve such a breakthrough in such a short time. "If that's the case, then let's all die!" He frantically activated the Heavenly Dao Gears, which emitted a destructive light. The entire Taixu Immortal Realm began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance, both eyes etched with determination. They simultaneously infused their spiritual energy into the Ni Lin Blood Sword and the Void Spirit Jade. The power of Chaos and the Candle Dragon resonated between the sword and jade, and a stream of chaotic sword energy, piercing heaven and earth, burst forth through the air. Wherever the sword energy passed, space shattered, and laws of nature collapsed.
"Impossible..." The Pavilion Master watched in horror as the sword energy approached. The chains of law were as fragile as paper before the sword energy. With a loud bang, the Heavenly Dao gears were completely shattered. The Pavilion Master let out a shrill scream, and his body began to dissipate into a point of light.
However, just as the Pavilion Master was about to completely disappear, he suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Do you think this is the end? The true power of the God Realm is not what you can imagine..." Before he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared into the void.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief as the shattered source of the Heavenly Dao fell like a meteor shower. Yun Yao knew this was a crucial moment to reconstruct the Heavenly Dao. She forced herself to support her exhausted body, activated the Star Realm Terminal, and began channeling the source of the Heavenly Dao according to the modern cosmic model. Chu Mochen, on the other hand, fully channeled the power of the Candle Dragon to stabilize the collapsing space.
"I must succeed..." Yun Yao muttered to herself, her gaze passing through the shattered void, as if catching sight of modern Earth. To protect that world, for the people she loved, no matter how many challenges lay ahead, she would not retreat.
While the Gear War has temporarily come to a close, Yun Yao knows this is only the beginning of a greater crisis. The threat from the divine realm, the future of Earth, and countless unknown challenges await her and Chu Mochen. They are already prepared to defy the laws of nature and rewrite their destiny.
