The "Tears of the Stars" were within reach, yet as elusive as the moon reflected in water. The massive form of the Demon God blocked out the sun, and its overwhelming pressure made it hard for me to breathe. Its arrogant laughter echoed through the valley, filled with disdain and mockery: "You think you can stop me?"
Before the words had left its mouth, the Demon God conjured a sphere of black energy in its hand and hurled it at us. Du Ming reacted swiftly, pushing me aside but getting struck by the energy ball, spitting out blood.
"Du Ming!" I exclaimed, rushing to his side, wanting to heal him.
"Don't worry about me, go stop him!" Du Ming grabbed my hand firmly, his eyes resolute. "The defense system of the Cultivation World has been destroyed by him; only we can stop him now!"
It was then that I noticed the once clear night sky was now filled with countless cracks, a sign of the Cultivation World's defense system collapsing. Waves of black demonic energy surged through the fissures, ravaging this once peaceful land.
There was no time for sorrow or hesitation. I took a deep breath, entrusted Du Ming to a mysterious ally who had arrived, and turned to face the Demon God.
"Stellar River Sword Technique!" I summoned my life-bound artifact, unleashing brilliant sword lights that cut through the night sky toward the Demon God.
However, my attacks were nothing more than a tickle to the Demon God. It merely waved its hand lightly, dissipating my strikes effortlessly.
"Overestimating yourselves!" The Demon God scoffed and launched another attack at me.
As I dodged its strikes, I anxiously searched for any openings. Yet, the Demon God's power was too overwhelming; I couldn't find any chance.
Just as despair began to set in, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before me, blocking a fatal blow from the Demon God.
"Ally!" I cried out in shock but saw him with a hole pierced through his chest by demonic energy, blood staining his clothes.
"Run! Don't worry about me!" He weakly pushed me away, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Tears of the Stars... only you can..."
His voice grew weaker until it completely faded away. I held his hand tightly but could no longer feel any warmth. Tears blurred my vision as my heart shattered with grief. He sacrificed his precious life to protect me and safeguard the Cultivation World.
"Ah!" I let out a wail of anguish and fury. Du Ming endured his pain and came beside me, holding me tightly in his embrace. "Lingxi, we must pull ourselves together; we can't let his sacrifice be in vain!"
His voice was deep and firm, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the fog in my heart. I wiped away my tears, my gaze sharpening gradually. The sacrifice of our ally made me acutely aware of the Demon God's terror and strengthened my resolve to seal it away.
However, the scene before us filled us with despair. The Demon God's power grew stronger; its released demonic energy began to erode the minds of cultivators, turning them into puppets.
"Kill! Kill them!" Those controlled cultivators had strange red glints in their eyes as they launched frenzied attacks against us. They were once our comrades but had now become our enemies; this feeling was more painful than facing the Demon God itself.
"Damn it!" Du Ming blocked an attack from one cultivator with his sword, frowning deeply. "We can't keep this up; we'll be worn down!"
I looked around and realized we were surrounded. Countless corrupted cultivators surged toward us like a tide of darkness; their attacks were chaotic yet filled with despair and madness, leaving us struggling to cope.
"Lingxi! Ming'er!"
A commanding voice pierced through the desperate battlefield. I turned to see a familiar figure flying in on a sword, followed by a throng of Du Family members behind him.
"Father!" A flicker of surprise crossed Du Ming's eyes but was quickly replaced by concern. "What are you doing here? It's too dangerous!"
Mr. Du's face was stern, and his sharp gaze swept around before finally landing on the distant Demon God. He snorted coldly, "Our Du Family has guarded the Cultivation World for generations; how can we stand by and do nothing? Today, I will fight this demon!"
With that, he drew his sword, its blade radiating a dazzling light, and charged into the fray with a group of Du Family members. The Du Family, renowned in the Cultivation World, was not to be underestimated. Once they joined the battle, the demonized cultivators began to retreat in defeat, giving us a much-needed breather.
I let out a sigh of relief but dared not slack off for even a moment. I quickly pulled out a Silver Needle from my pocket and hurried to treat Du Ming's injuries. His wounds were shocking to behold, indicating just how fierce the previous battle had been.
"I'm fine, Lingxi. You don't need to worry about me; go help Father!" Du Ming grasped my hand with determination in his eyes. I nodded, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then turned to rejoin the battle.
However, the Demon God's power was overwhelming. Even with the Du Family's involvement, we still found ourselves at a disadvantage. He loomed like an insurmountable mountain, each attack carrying destructive force that made it hard for us to withstand.
Just as despair began to settle in, an ancient voice suddenly echoed in our minds: "Children, do not lose hope... find it... find the forgotten... Sealing Land..."
The voice was ethereal and elusive but carried an undeniable authority that compelled us to believe in it.
"Sealing Land?" I murmured to myself, a flicker of hope igniting within me. "Could there really be a place to seal away the Demon God?"
But that voice did not respond again, no matter how much we called out for it.
"Lingxi, did you hear that? The voice said..." Du Ming's face was pale, yet he could not hide the hope in his eyes. "Perhaps... we still have a chance..."
