The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 623: The Origin of Chaos

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side, the Heavenly Dao Wheel in their palms emitting a mysterious and dazzling light, which seemed to tell the grievances and hatreds of the past thousand years, and seemed to foreshadow the upcoming shocking showdown. Just when they had collected the six pieces of the Burning Heart Mirror and were about to reveal the truth, the Lord of the Burning Heaven Palace appeared. He was like a demon god in the dark night, exuding a suffocating pressure. The huge main mirror of the Burning Heart Mirror suspended behind him was like the entrance to an endless abyss. The pale face of Yun Yao's mother was clearly reflected in the mirror. The picture was like a sharp blade, piercing Yun Yao's heart.

“Little girl, do you think that traveling through time is accidental?” The voice of Patriarch Fentian seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell. It was cold, gloomy, and full of endless ridicule, echoing in this origin space. “This is just a trap I set up to collect the ‘Red Dust Tribulation Power’! All the people you saved, their gratitude and faith, are the nourishment for my resurrection!”

Yun Yao looked around and felt her scalp tingling. This was a chaotic void, with countless transparent light cocoons suspended in it, emitting faint light, and each light cocoon contained a "possible world". She swept her eyes over, and in one of the light cocoons, it was the life in the secular palace that she had experienced: deep courtyards, blooming flowers, she met and got to know Chu Mochen in the palace, faced Liu Yan'er's difficulties together, and the ups and downs of the lives of those servants... For a moment, the memories of the past surged into her heart like a tide, with mixed feelings of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness.

However, the beautiful memories at this moment were ruthlessly torn apart by the cruel reality before her eyes. Yun Yao discovered that these light cocoons were covered with cracks, like broken dreams, exuding a breath of despair. She knew very well that these were the trajectories of the heavens tampered with by the Burning Heaven Palace, and behind each crack were the twisted destinies of countless lives.

“Why? Why are you so cruel?” Yun Yao glared at him, her voice trembling with anger. She tightly grasped the sword in her hand, and the fire on the sword seemed to sense the anger of its owner and burned fiercely. “These people have their own lives. Why do you control them so wantonly!”

Patriarch Fentian laughed wildly, and the sound shook the void, which seemed to collapse. "Humph, in this world of cultivation, the way of heaven is ruthless, and only the strong can dominate everything! I am just following the way of heaven and using the emotions of these ants to pave the way for my rebirth. Your mother tried to go against me and seal me with the power of Yunhua Sect, but she never expected that I would find an opportunity to revive after all, and you are the key link!"

Yun Yao felt a pain in her heart, thinking of the suffering her mother had endured to protect her. A resolute look flashed in her eyes: "I will never let you succeed!" She turned to look at Chu Mochen, and their eyes met. Without words, the tacit understanding in their hearts was already communicated. They clenched their swords together, ready to meet this final challenge.

At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly felt a strange force pulling her, as if dragging her soul into an abyss. She looked closely and saw a light cocoon emitting a strange light. The light contained a familiar breath, which seemed familiar, but also made her feel scared. Before she could react, her body flew uncontrollably towards the light cocoon.

"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen was horrified and stretched out his hand to grab her, but he only grabbed a piece of empty space. He was anxious and rushed towards the Burning Heaven Patriarch without hesitation. The sword came out like a dragon, and the power of black ice overflowed, "Let her go!"

Patriarch Fentian snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a demonic flame attacked, forcing Chu Mochen back several steps: "You overestimated your own abilities, you think you can stop me? Today you will all become sacrifices for my rebirth!"

Yun Yao was sucked into the light cocoon, and her eyes were instantly dark. When the light came on again, she found herself in a strange yet familiar scene - the streets of modern society. There were cars and people coming and going, tall buildings standing in rows, neon lights flashing, everything seemed so prosperous and noisy, but also revealed an indescribable weirdness.

"Is this... my original world?" Yun Yao muttered to herself, full of doubts. She looked around and found herself standing in front of a zebra crossing. Pedestrians hurried past and ignored her, as if she was a transparent person. Suddenly, a sharp brake sound cut through the sky. Yun Yao subconsciously turned her head and saw an out-of-control car speeding towards a group of passers-by.

"Be careful!" Yun Yao screamed and rushed over instinctively, wanting to use her spiritual power to save people, but she found that her spiritual power was sealed and she couldn't move at all. Just as the car was about to hit the group of passers-by, a figure flashed out and pushed the passers-by to a safe area. Yun Yao looked closely and found that the person was herself - the modern Su Yao.

Su Yao was wearing simple jeans and a white T-shirt, with long flowing hair, a pretty face, and a look of tenacity and kindness in her eyes. She dusted herself off and asked passers-by if they were injured. After receiving thanks from everyone, she turned and left. Yun Yao followed involuntarily, feeling a strong sense of intimacy.

"Is she my original self?" Yun Yao thought to herself, "But why am I here? What is the connection between all this?"

As she walked, Su Yao came to the entrance of a hospital. She took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked in with firm steps. Yun Yao followed her footsteps, walked through corridors, and finally came to a ward. Su Yao gently pushed open the door. In the ward, a white-haired old man was lying on the bed, his face was haggard, but his eyes were full of love.

"Grandpa..." Su Yao called softly, walked to the bedside and held the old man's hand, "How do you feel? The doctor said that your condition has stabilized. As long as you rest well, you will recover soon."

The old man opened his eyes slightly and saw Su Yao, with a relieved smile on his face: "Yaoyao, you are here... Grandpa is fine, don't worry. Are you busy with work recently? Don't tire yourself out."

Su Yao smiled and shook her head: "I'm not busy, Grandpa. You are the most important. As long as you get better soon, everything I do is worth it."

The warm conversation between the grandparents made Yun Yao's eyes moist. She thought of her mother in Yunhua Sect. Although they were together for a short time, the mother's love was unforgettable. At this moment, looking at the affection between Su Yao and her grandfather, her longing for her family became stronger.

At this moment, the lights in the ward suddenly flickered, and then a dark force surged like a tide, covering the entire ward. Su Yao widened her eyes in horror and subconsciously protected her grandfather behind her: "What's going on?"

Yun Yao's heart tightened, realizing that this was the trick of the Burning Heaven Patriarch. She tried to break free from the shackles of darkness, but found that she was still powerless. In the darkness, the voice of the Burning Heaven Patriarch sounded again: "Little girl, do you see? This is your original life, ordinary and fragile. If I hadn't given you the opportunity to travel through time, you would never be able to touch the secrets of cultivation, let alone compete with me!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yun Yao retorted angrily, "Even if it's ordinary, it's still my life. There are people I cherish and things I want to protect! Do you think that practicing Taoism can make you superior to others? You are just a demon who wants to control everything!"

In the darkness, the old ancestor Fentian laughed wildly, and that laughter seemed to shatter people's souls: "Humph, stubborn girl! Since you are so attached to this ordinary life, I will completely destroy it!"

As he spoke, the dark power turned into countless black tentacles, sweeping towards Su Yao and the old man. Yun Yao was anxious and struggled with all her might. Just when the black tentacles were about to touch Su Yao, she suddenly felt a surge of power in her body, which came from her firm belief deep in her heart and the deep bond between her and Chu Mochen.

"No——" Yun Yao roared, and suddenly a dazzling golden light burst out from her body. The golden light was like a blazing sun, instantly dispelling the darkness. She found that she had regained her spiritual power, and the Jiehuo Sword in her hand ignited a blazing flame again.

“Ancestor Fentian, today is the day you die!” Yun Yao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, with a resolute look in her eyes, and rushed towards the depths of darkness.

At the same time, outside the origin space, the battle between Chu Mochen and the Burning Heaven Patriarch also entered a white-hot stage. The black ice knife and the devil flame intertwined, and the void was torn into cracks. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations swept around like a storm, and the surrounding light cocoons were shaky under the impact of this force.

Chu Mochen was wounded in many places, and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes became more determined. Every time he swung his sword, he was concerned about Yun Yao and committed to justice: "Ancestor Fentian, don't even think about hurting Yun Yao today! I will definitely destroy you completely and bring peace to the world of cultivation!"

The old ancestor Fentian was furious, and his demonic flames became more violent: "Humph, you can do that? You are trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm! You all must die today. I will be reborn and come back to dominate everything!"

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Yun Yao emerged from the light cocoon, her body shining with golden light, like a god of war. She and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and the two of them were in sync, and at the same time launched the strongest attack on the Burning Heaven Patriarch.

The Jiehuo Sword and the Xuanbing Knife merged in the air, turning into a gorgeous two-color sword light, with the momentum of destroying the world, slashing towards the Burning Ancestor. The Burning Ancestor showed horror on his face. He never expected that the power of the two would be so strong. In a panic, he quickly mobilized all his magic power and built a magic shield in front of him.

The two-color sword light fiercely slashed on the magic shield, making a loud sound that shook the earth. Countless cracks appeared on the magic shield in an instant, and the light overflowed. The old ancestor Fentian vomited blood, retreated repeatedly, and his face was full of disbelief: "This... How is this possible?"

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took advantage of the victory and pursued, not giving the Burning Heaven Patriarch a chance to breathe. They flashed and instantly arrived in front of the Burning Heaven Patriarch, with both swords out, and the sword force was like a rainbow.

"Prepare to die!" The two shouted in unison, and the sword light was like a rainbow, instantly piercing through the chest of the Burning Ancestor. The Burning Ancestor widened his eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, and then his body slowly dissipated, turning into a wisp of green smoke, and disappeared in this origin space.

With the destruction of the Burning Sky Ancestor, the dark power in the origin space gradually dissipated, and the cracks on the light cocoons began to slowly repair, emitting a soft light. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen smiled at each other, they knew that this difficult battle finally ushered in the dawn of victory.

However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered that the main mirror of the Burning Heart Mirror suddenly trembled violently, and a mysterious light shot out from the mirror, enveloping the two of them. Then, their eyes went dark, and their consciousness fell into chaos...
