"What?"

    "Is he not dead yet?"

    "Impossible, how could it be like that?"

    "How could he have survived after the Master Wu and Kang Yuan exploded his mortal body, and Mr. Chen had further incinerated the remains with fireballs? How could he have survived and appeared here?"

    "It's impossible! I must have seen wrong!"

    Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu and others were all in uproar as they were engaged in a battle of wits and courage against the Deep Cold Beard in the water.

    No one had expected Merlin to rise from the dead.

    To know that everyone there is a cultivator, they all have a basic level of alertness.

    In the beginning, Wu Kejou and Kang Yuan joined forces to launch a surprise attack on Meilin and kill him in one blow.

    Afterwards, everyone checked using their spiritual power, but did not find Meilin's "soul" in the vicinity.

    At that time, everyone believed that Meilin's soul was also destroyed in the joint attack by Wu Kejou and Kang Yuan.

    That's why, when everyone saw Chen Yun using fireballs to incinerate the opponent's body, some couldn't understand why he would do it "for no reason".

    The remaining body is important if the "soul" is destroyed?

    However, at this moment!

    However, at this moment!

    When everyone saw that the previously deceased Meilin had appeared again, they realized how wise it was of Chen Yun to use fireball magic to incinerate the remains.

    Even with Chen Yun being so wise, it turns out that Meilin still managed to come back from the dead!

    This is the reason everyone was shocked.

    In their memories, there had never been anyone who had both their spirit and form completely destroyed and then managed to revive from the dead.

    Regardless of whether it's the two senior magicians Wu Kejou and Qin Ming, or the group of intermediate magicians including Long Niu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and Zhang Ling, they all clearly understand one thing: now is not the time for shock.

    Because they are about to face the most powerful magical attack in history!

    As Merlin chanted the incantation of the taboo spell "Twilight of the Gods," countless sparks flickered throughout the heavens and earth.

    High above, the sky was instantly filled with a dense cloud of spark particles.

    These particles resemble the stars at night, not very bright, but ubiquitous, almost covering the entire sky.

    If it was just the endless fire sparks spread across the clouds in the sky, it would not have instilled such terror in everyone.

    After all, the ultimate magic that Meilin released just now created a scene like a fiery meteor shower, which was even more majestic and magnificent.

    These spark particles seem to be everywhere.

    They jump from the space below the sky continuously.

    If someone were to watch from a distance at this moment, they would be terrified to discover that the air within a range of several thousand miles around the waters where Chen Yun, Wu Kejou, and Qin Ming are located is filled with jumping spark particles!

    This is like a huge "pot" made of spark particles vertically enveloping downwards, but it's turned upside down!

    The spark particles are just everywhere within a radius of several thousand miles.

    The most terrifying thing is that Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, Long Niu Sanjiu, and others clearly sense that deep beneath the surface, several kilometers underwater, there seems to be a surge of flame energy.

    Boom, boom, boom.

    A series of muffled booms reverberated from the depths of the water, carrying through to the surface.

    With this sound, the boundless Solar and Moon Spring seemed to be shaken by a powerful force, causing an endless succession of huge waves.

    At this urgent moment, Wu Kejou hastily activated his maximum spiritual power to investigate what was happening at the bottom of the sea.

    It was not until the investigation began that things became clear.

    Once he checked, Wu Kejou's face turned pale instantly!

    He saw that the depths of the sea, at some unknown time, were also filled with a dense cloud of spark particles similar to flowing water!

    These spark particles kept vibrating, causing the underwater volcanoes to erupt, leading to a sharp rise in the water temperature in this area.

    Countless underwater creatures sensed the drastic temperature increase and rushed madly towards the surface.

    But before these underwater creatures had a chance to escape, the spark particles, dense like stars in the sky, began to rise up, turning all the water red and boiling instantly. The creatures that were boiled by this flame were instantly split open, their flesh bursting with rich fragrance.

    This body of water seemed to have become a gigantic steamer!

    The "food" in the steamer is not only the sea creatures, but also every person, including Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu.

    At this moment, Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu and others were desperate.

    They could clearly sense that at the very moment when the spark particles appeared, the energy fluctuations in the heavens and earth became extremely violent.

    That was a massive energy fluctuation that they had never directly faced before!

    That was an enormous destructive force that could easily obliterate a medium-sized country!

    This was the energy fluctuation caused by the incantation of "Twilight of the Gods," and it was already so intense.

    If it was really released, Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu could not imagine how terrifying the power would be!

    "Finished!"

    "This time, we're doomed!"

    "After all the hardship to reach the Solar and Moon Spring and help Zhang Youcai obtain the Hanyuan Qigong Grass, we had only one more mission left before everyone could safely return. Now we are going to die here?"

    "To die under such a powerful spell is not regrettable."

    Everyone in the water abandoned their struggles and no longer attempted to attract the attention of the Deep Cold Beard in a disruptive manner.

    The reason they were so self-destructive was because Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu and everyone else were all quite aware that in the face of absolute power, any resistance was futile.

    It's better to try to leave behind some words rather than engage in meaningless resistance, so that those who come to explore the Solar and Moon Spring in the future can find them and take their "last words" back to the mortal world.

    Yes, many people are already preparing for their "legacy"!

    However, even when Wu Kejou, Qin Ming, and Long Niu Sanjiu and everyone else were desperate and gave up resistance, there was still one person with a calm gaze.

    The person was none other than Chen Yun.

    He remained calm and collected, lifting his head slightly to gaze skyward at Meilin as if he hadn't been affected at all.

    Of course, Chen Yun wasn't an idiot. He naturally could discern from the aberrations in the heavens and earth caused by Meilin's incantation of the taboo spell that an enormous destructive force would be unleashed, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

    Yet, he was still completely unalarmed.

    Because he knew some things.

    First, it was the ultimate magic. Then, the taboo spell.

    Anyone could know that performing two such powerful magics consecutively would be extremely taxing.

    Moreover, this is an underwater area, and fire elements are not particularly active.

    Chen Yun predicted that the opponent's forced use of the fire-based taboo spell "Twilight of the Gods" would consume more than usual.

    Therefore, as long as he could figure out a way to withstand the powerful impact of this taboo spell, Meilin's strength should drop to half or less.

    But taboo spells are different from ordinary magic; their power is truly terrifying.

    Chen Yun actually had something that could counter the taboo spell.

    For example, the ice ring artifact he wore on his wrist.

    The power released by the ice ring artifact was also capable of destroying heaven and earth, making it very likely to withstand the taboo spell.

    But Chen Yun had no intention of using the ice ring.

    Alternatively, he felt that he couldn't afford to lose.

    He couldn't bet on saving everyone by going head-to-head.

    Fortunately, he had treasures that could withstand devastating powers, and there was more than just the ice ring artifact.

    Yes, Chen Yun also possessed the treasure known as Taixi Zihui Robe, which even three hundred celestial troops and over two thousand yin troops, along with Gong Ji Jie's powerful mage, who couldn't break through its defense.

    This artifact had been refined by him for a long time, and finally, the "synergy" had reached 100% compatibility.

    Furthermore, he had tried it before, and the Taijiquan Zhusui Baoyi not only protected himself but could also release a rainbow of colors and purple vapor, enveloping those he wanted to protect.

    Thinking about this, Chen Yun took a deep breath and gently slapped the purple belt within his Taoist robe.

    The next moment, a series of radiant colors burst from his body, and the purple mist began to permeate continuously.

    This rainbow-colored light was extremely amazing. As soon as it appeared, it immediately illuminated the surrounding waters with a rainbow of colors.

    The purple mist was not to be outdone either, spreading from his body and merging into the air, as if dyeing the heavens and earth purple.

    In just a short while, Meilin had recited the incantation of the taboo spell "Twilight of the Gods" to its final words.

    Above, in the air, underwater, all of the spark particles were connected as one!

    The next moment, a loud whoosh! The spark particles suddenly expanded, transforming into blazing red lotus flowers about the size of a fist.

    Amidst these countless billions, or even trillions, of red lotuses, there seemed to be a faintly visible silhouette of a colossal demonic god.

    This demonic god stood tall and proud, his entire body composed of flames. His two giant horns were almost touching the sky.

    The most awe-inspiring aspect was that his hands were resting on the hilt of a massive broadsword, which was vertically inserted into the ground.

    This broadsword was also remarkable, covered in scorching flames that were constantly burning and expanding.

    When Chen Yun saw this scene, he immediately remembered the contents of Meilin's magic book and knew that the appearance of this demonic god was that of the fire giant Surtr from Nordic mythology, and the broadsword he held in his hand was none other than the legendary Infernal Blade "The Destroyer's Branch".

    Along with the heat emanating from the broadsword that the demonic god was holding, and the fire light expanding and spreading.

    The next second, the red lotuses that were connected burst open suddenly.

    In an instant, the sky, air, and waters within a radius of a couple of thousands of miles turned into flames!

    There was no explosion; it was just pure flame burning.

    The fierce glow was as if a hundred suns were burning simultaneously.

    It almost illuminated the entire Solar and Moon Spring as brightly as day.

    The scorching heat, which could almost melt all matter in the world, also spread instantly with the outbreak of the flame.

    Such terrifying power seemed to burn the entire world into ashes!

    Zhang Ling hopelessly closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

    Long Niu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and Gao Chen, among others, couldn't help but show a wistful smile as they knew it was too late to turn back. They would only be waiting for a deep abyss.

    Different from these medium-level magicians, Wu Kejou and Qin Ming, the two superior-level magicians, appeared much more composed.

    They stared at the incoming flames with a calm expression, as if trying to memorize the last scene of their lives.

    Everyone reacted differently.

    Some were desperate.

    Some were melancholic.

    Some were howling in sorrow.

    Some were crying.

    However, those attracted by Meilin's taboo spell "Twilight of the Gods" had no idea that in the instant of the incoming flames, a layer of faint rainbow light and purple mist surrounded them.

    The flames fully erupted.

    The entire world was transformed into an ocean of flames!

    Even though the limitless and boundless Solar and Moon Spring, under the scorching heat, the water level had visibly receded by a significant amount.

    It goes without saying that the power of Meilin's "Twilight of the Gods" taboo spell was indeed terrifying!

    Meilin, who was panting in the sky, thought the same.

    He still had an arrogant smile on his face.

    After all, "Twilight of the Gods" was his most powerful taboo spell.

    He thought that Chen Yun, Wu Kejour, Qin Ming, and others dying under the might of his taboo spell was an enormous honor.

    "It's just a pity that such a masterpiece, however, no one can see it."

    The arrogant Meilin sighed slightly, feeling that at this moment, he was like a painter with exceptional skills who had created a masterpiece of his life's effort, but could only admire it alone.

    That loneliness.

    So desolate.

    It made Meilin sigh involuntarily.

    Unfortunately, his sigh was destined to last for only a short time.

    It was like "Twilight of the Gods," although majestic and awe-inspiring, no matter how magnificent the scenery, it is not eternal. There will always be a moment when it ends.

    As the power was fully released, the firelight gradually lost its color.

    A red lotus flower extinguished.

    Ten red lotus flowers extinguished.

    Billions of red lotus flowers burst and extinguished in an instant.

    The brightness plummeted and dissipated, turning the heavens and earth from daylight into a dim twilight.

    The scorching heat caused the evaporation of the water flow, turning into an endless sea of mist that filled the sky, yet it still couldn't cover up the setting sun, just like it couldn't cover up the strong light of the rainbow light and purple mist in the midst of the mist!
