The world once again fell into pitch-black darkness. However, in the distant eastern horizon, a golden-red light lit up.
Then, the light shone on the land of Divine Prefecture!
Tianma was stunned. He was surrounded by countless strong lights.
"Hongjun."
"Father?"
A voice that he had not heard for a long time sounded in his heart.
"Hongjun!"
"Jinglong?"
Another voice broke through the vast darkness. Memories were like bubbles floating in the dark sea. They would burst at any time, but they reflected the distant past and brought his consciousness out of the chaotic sea. Hongjun's consciousness slowly recovered. In an instant, all the monsters left and flew to the top of Xingqing's palace.
It was like a grand sacrificial ceremony. Hundreds of thousands of monsters surrounded Tianma and knelt down.
The Phoenix led thousands of birds and flew from the horizon. Behind her were rolling clouds like a sea of fire, passing by Chang 'an. The golden-winged Great Peng stood high on the top of Xingqing's palace. Its eyes reflected the prosperity of Divine Prefecture. In the silence, everything rose and fell.
Li Jinglong dragged his wounded body. His hand released a bright light, and he kept approaching Hongjun.
"The living … are passers-by …"
His low voice resounded in the world. In an instant, the overwhelming black fog retreated in front of the light.
"The dead are … returned."
The light was the blazing sun that illuminated the world. It was the twinkling stars in the night sky. It was a heart lamp that broke through the darkness and would never be extinguished.
"Heaven and Earth are one … Traveling backward, grieving for eternity … Dust."
Li Jinglong closed his eyes and pressed his hand on Hongjun's forehead. The white light spread out and covered the battlefield that was filled with corpses and blood.
In the light of the lamp, the lights in Pingkang, the parasol trees under the summer sun in the Exorcism Division, the sandstorm and flying snow in the vast Great Wall, Atay's clear voice, the morning leaves picked by Mo Rigen and Lu Xu, and Qiu Yongsi's flying brush. They all turned into an immortal poem in Li Bai's cup.
East of the Young Gold City of Wuling, a silver saddle and white horse galloped in the spring breeze.
Luo Hua Xue You Where, laughing into Huji Wine Shop.
The powerful light pierced through Hongjun's soul, and a wild roar rang out in his ears. It was as if something had left his body.
His Xie Yu rolled and turned into a black flame that burned fiercely. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Yuan Kun said coldly, "I knew that you wouldn't take the demonic seed away. Did you think that everything would be fine just because you have taken over Mahamayuri's body? Idiot! "
Under the illumination of the white light, Hongjun's consciousness began to blur. He began to turn into specks of light and dissipate. His three souls and seven spirits were instantly shattered due to the separation of the demonic seed.
"Hongjun." Li Jinglong whispered in the light. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"I've forgiven you a long time ago," Hongjun said in a low voice. "Am I going to die? I have already … "
As his three souls and seven spirits dissipated, Hongjun gradually became confused.
"Who … Who am I?" Hongjun's memory continued to shatter, and his consciousness gradually disappeared. He lost his five senses, and his cognition became more and more blurred.
"No." Li Jinglong whispered, "Far from it."
Immediately after, Li Jinglong clasped his hands together. His left fingers were vertical, and his right palm was flat. He performed the Lantern Spell, and the light of the Heart Lantern continuously poured into Hongjun's body. In the next moment, Hongjun's shattered soul was constantly mended. He raised his hand, and the light on his arm was hazy and gradually became visible.
"Jinglong?" Hongjun remembered again and said with a trembling voice.
Countless memories of being together with Li Jinglong flooded into his mind in an instant, mending his broken soul and the past. His consciousness became clear again, and every moment of the past seemed to be real. The joys and sorrows of the human world, and the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion, all seemed to be within reach.
However, Hongjun tried hard to recall himself, but he felt that his past was still missing a piece.
"I am … Hongjun, but I …" Hongjun said in a daze under the light of the Heart Lantern.
In the next moment, another hand gently pressed on his back.
The king's robe suddenly unfolded, and it was like a blazing sun, like the twilight, like an endless flame —
"You are Hongjun, the child of Kong Xuan, and also the son of I, Chong Ming." A voice sounded.
In the loud bang, the Heart Lantern, Xingqing Palace, and everything else disappeared. Little Hongjun was lying in a warm embrace, and he clutched Chong Ming's robe tightly.
He felt a teardrop fall on his face, and he slowly got up in surprise.
"Where … Where is this?" Hongjun asked.
"Dazzling Gold Palace," Chong Ming said coldly. "Your new home."
"My father …" Little Hongjun tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember the past.
"I am your father." Chong Ming said in a low voice. He sighed and got up from the throne. Little Hongjun slowly walked to the high platform outside Dazzling Gold Palace, and looked at the rising sun in the distance.
"You will spend a few short years here," Chong Ming said. "Our fate will also end here."
Little Hongjun suddenly turned his head, and Chong Ming went forward, patted his head, and said, "It is natural for a fledgling to leave the nest. Migratory birds fly south, white clouds gather and disperse, there are too many 'Dao' in the world, and it cannot be violated. "
Little Hongjun looked up, and Chong Ming opened his palm in front of him. Little Hongjun held his fingers, and Chong Ming led him to the tree on Dazzling Gold Palace's terrace.
"Many years later, there will also be someone who will come here and take you away from me," Chong Ming said. "I am not a qualified father …"
"Father," Little Hongjun called out softly.
"Qing Xiong always thinks of you as Kong Xuan." Chong Ming lowered his head and stroked Little Hongjun's back. "But I know that you are you. You are my Hongjun, Chong Ming. You are not Kong Sixing, and you are not Kong Xuan."
Little Hongjun stared blankly at the rising sun in Taihang Mountains, lying in Chong Ming's arms, and gradually remembered the past.
"Chong Ming," Little Hongjun said. "Father …"
"Promise me one thing," Chong Ming said.
Little Hongjun looked up and met Chong Ming's eyes.
Chong Ming's body began to burn and shatter. The raging fire made Hongjun feel incomparably warm. Their clothes were all burned, just like that day when Hongjun caused Chong Ming to burn down the entire Dazzling Gold Palace as a prank. In the strong light, he was burned to ashes together with Chong Ming, but the red light continued to gather on his body.
"I will bestow the power of Nirvana to you." Chong Ming whispered. "After your rebirth, you will be the new Mahamayuri, and also the Demon King of the divine continent …"
In the loud noise, the red light receded, and Hongjun's body appeared in the raging fire. Chong Ming's flames turned into a gentle robe that wrapped around his body. On Hongjun's robe, two Phoenix tail feathers fluttered in the wind!
"Buzz." At the same time, on Li Jinglong's bare chest, the peacock tattoo faintly glowed red, and the brush strokes revealed a golden-red color!
Hongjun and Li Jinglong hugged each other, and the sound of Chong Ming rang in their ears.
"Goodbye, Hongjun."
"You will not regret the day you left Dazzling Gold Palace, and Father will not regret having you by my side."
The phoenix's cry shook the nine heavens, and all birds mourned together. The Phoenix was reborn, and Hongjun suddenly turned his head and roared, "Father —!"
The Phoenix's body continued to burn, and it turned into ashes and scattered. Hongjun turned and rushed towards the embers that filled the sky, but the embers scattered to heaven and earth, leaving no trace behind.
"Father …" Hongjun looked up at the sky, and hot tears rolled down his face.
Li Jinglong shouted and fell from the sky. Hongjun immediately turned and flew towards Li Jinglong, catching him.
Kun Shen, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, the Corpse Battle Ghost King, and Yu Zaoyun quietly looked at the sky.
The Phoenix was reborn, and it scattered into the sky. The last strand of powerful magic power reforged Hongjun's body.
Li Jinglong could not stop gasping for breath, and he grabbed Hongjun's wrist. The two of them looked at each other in silence.
Hongjun's eyes were filled with confusion. Li Jinglong tried to wave his hand in front of him, and asked, "Hongjun?"
Hongjun suddenly came back to his senses, and looked up at the sky. Xie Yu was bathed in black flames, and he laughed wildly.
"Hongjun, you should thank your Phoenix father and your good lover." Xie Yu said, "They reforged your soul and body, but I think you won't be the Demon King for long."
Hongjun was dressed in a golden-red robe. He supported Li Jinglong, and they faced the sky. Xie Yu obtained the demon seed and all the demon energy in the world, so he was free and unrestrained. He was so arrogant that no one could stop him. Flame-like scales appeared all over his body, and he said loudly, "Confer me the title, I give you this honor — —"
"… Then, you will be destroyed … This is what you want, to change your fate … This is the price you have to pay for not dying …"
The Corpse Battle Ghost King said loudly, "Where is the Corpse Clan!"
"Here — —!" 50,000 Corpse Battle Ghosts shouted angrily in unison.
The Corpse Battle Ghost King shouted, "Follow the Demon King, and expel Tianma!"
The shouts were earth-shattering. Qing Xiong said coldly, "You have underlings, beat this guy down for me!"
In an instant, the three Demon Kings rushed up at the same time. The Golden-Winged Roc and the Giant Kun led the birds in the sky and rushed toward Xie Yu. Arrows rose from the ground and chased after Xie Yu!
"Exorcists!" Li Jinglong shouted with all his might.
"Here!" A group of exorcists rushed toward Li Jinglong and Hongjun.
"Wait for an opportunity." Li Jinglong said, "We can't kill it, but we can severely injure it! Hongjun, you … "
"I'll move with everyone!" Hongjun said, "I'll listen to your command!"
The exorcists rushed to the roof of the palace, and the sun shone brightly. Xie Yu spewed out black flames, and the birds that came into contact with it fell like raindrops. Xie Yu rolled in the air, and the Giant Kun and the Golden-Winged Roc fought fiercely with the demon dragon.
"That's …" the Carp Demon shouted with a trembling voice, "It …"
"Don't shout it out!" Li Jinglong shouted immediately.
"Zhao Zilong is not human!" Mo Rigen shouted.
"Split up!" Li Jinglong said.
Hongjun brought Li Jinglong and flew to the roof of Xingqing Palace.
"Eh?" Hongjun said, "I can fly?"
Li Jinglong was speechless.
Xie Yu emitted demonic energy, and the demonic seed under its reverse scale was faintly discernible. The dragon's horn had faded, and two bulges appeared on its forehead and slowly spread out. Black clouds rolled, and with Xie Yu as the center, they spread in all directions. Chang 'an City was plunged into darkness again.
"Take it down," Li Jinglong said. "Use the Demon Binding Rope."
Hongjun nodded. His royal robe fluttered, and he shot out like a shooting star. Lu Xu transformed into the White Deer and stepped into the air, joining the battle. Xie Yu charged at Hongjun with a roar and slammed into his body. The White Deer shouted, "Hongjun!"
Hongjun was knocked into the air, and he quickly avoided the demonic fire spewed out by Xie Yu. He shouted, "I'm fine!"
This was the first time Hongjun could fly in the air, and he was not used to it. After a while, his speed increased, and he circled Xie Yu. Xie Yu instantly spewed out Tianma Flames. The flames brushed past the Giant Leviathan and the Golden Roc, and the two Demon Kings were sent flying with a roar of pain. In the darkness, Xie Yu suddenly turned its head, and Hongjun suddenly appeared in front of it.
Xie Yu said, "You flew quite fast."
Hongjun said, "Of course."
Immediately after, Hongjun grabbed Xie Yu's horn with his left hand, and his right hand quickly flicked open the Mo Saber and slashed at Xie Yu. Xie Yu roared wildly, and its dragon body was cut in half! Demonic Qi exploded, and the entire Chang 'an City was plunged into darkness.
"You think you can destroy Tianma like this?" Xie Yu mocked mercilessly.
"Now!" Kun Shen shouted.
Hongjun flicked open the Demon Binding Rope, and the rope rained down like thousands of whips, covering the sky and earth, forming a huge net. The Demonic Qi retracted again, and Xie Yu's figure was revealed, bound by the Demon Binding Rope and dragged to the ground. Hongjun dragged Xie Yu and slammed it into the ground. Xie Yu was still struggling, and then he said to the side, "There's still one more arrow."
Mo Rigen had been holding the Moon Eclipse Bow all this time, waiting for this moment. He immediately fired a Meteor Arrow, and the golden light hit Xie Yu's reverse scale. Xie Yu quickly tumbled and fell to the ground with a roar. On the ground, the Demonic Soldiers gathered around the churning Demonic Dragon, and the Ghouls swarmed forward!
All the demons rushed forward and fought a bloody battle with the Demonic Soldiers. Hongjun carried Li Jinglong and released a fierce flame, sweeping away the Demonic Soldiers in front of him.
Li Jinglong gathered the last bit of power from the Mind's Lamp, and his hand glowed with white light.
Xie Yu instantly wanted to fly away, but the Giant Kun and the Golden Roc swooped down at the same time and pressed it down.
Li Jinglong's hand glowed brilliantly, and he instantly pressed it on Xie Yu's forehead.
"You can't destroy me —"
The strong light rose to its peak like a tsunami. In an instant, Li Jinglong turned into a Light Armor General, and the Dharma Form of the Burning Lamp appeared behind him.
"The calamity of the past is over, and the light shines upon all living beings." Li Jinglong roared, "Demons, retreat —!"
Like the Palace of Daming, Xie Yu's Demonic Qi was blown away by the brilliance. The Giant Kun, the Golden Roc, the Ghouls, the Ghouls, the Ghouls, the Ghouls, the Ghouls, the Ghouls, and the Demonic Soldiers and Generals were all blown away by the strong light. Only Hongjun was not afraid of the strong light.
The Mind's Lamp had the same source of power as his three souls and seven spirits. It shone on his soul like the scorching sun, bringing endless hope.
Xie Yu's roar shook heaven and earth, and the Demonic Flames were blown away. Then, the Demonic Seed flew out and shot to the horizon. The dark wind and clouds were blown away in all directions, with Xingqing Palace as the center. Countless houses collapsed and were destroyed.
Li Jinglong kept gasping for breath, and finally fell into Hongjun's arms.
The Demonic Soldiers were all blown away, and countless armors were scattered on the ground. The demons were all over the Chang 'an. Hongjun knelt on the ground, holding Li Jinglong in his arms. The two of them were surrounded by the huge drill ground of Xingqing Palace. The sun shone through the clouds and shone on the drill ground.
It was like a piece of white jade reflecting the brilliant sunlight.
