I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2597 - 1183: Farewell, Bai Guang

Chen Mobai positioned himself atop Ming Wang Star, now entirely shrouded in pristine white brilliance.

Following the Netherworld Queen's demise, he eradicated every living creature across this world.

Though he had unleashed massive carnage in the Tianhe Realm earlier, wiping out all life on an entire planet marked a novel experience for him.

He felt no remorse; instead, he sensed the process concluded far too swiftly.

After all, Ming Wang Star held immense strength—with the King of the Underworld, the Netherworld Queen, and the First Netherworld General all at peak Divinity Transformation levels, plus the Death River, Rebirth Lake, and various other Sixth Rank primordial forces.

Yet, even against such might, the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, fired without restraint by the Immortal Gate, obliterated it effortlessly.

Was the Great Dao of Destruction overwhelmingly potent?

This realization struck Chen Mobai, reminding him that Bai Guang had comprehended this Dao ages ago. It explained how she remotely wielded the Sword Intent within the White Stone to battle the Death God Incarnation during her early Void Refining stage.

Having now witnessed the Great Dao of Destruction in action, Chen Mobai regretted his earlier urge to subdue Bai Guang.

Harmony between husband and wife proves wisest. Constant clashes would only distress their daughter.

Should they cross paths ahead, steering clear of fights and opting for dialogue seemed preferable.

With Bai Guang on his mind, Chen Mobai abruptly recalled her vow to confront the Death God’s true form.

He pondered whether, over these years, she had located the Death God’s actual body amid the cosmos. Given her command over the Destruction and Killing Destiny Daos, even if her cultivation lagged behind his, the Death God might be the one to retreat upon meeting her.

That said, should the Death God grasp the Innate Life and Death Great Dao, Bai Guang could face grave peril.

A flicker of concern gripped Chen Mobai, for his success in annihilating Ming Wang Star and harnessing the Power of Destruction stemmed from the Sword Will she had bequeathed him earlier.

He always distinguished clearly between grudges and favors.

Should the Death God slay Bai Guang, Chen Mobai pledged to exact vengeance at any cost.

This notion triggered a fleeting vision in Chen Mobai’s thoughts: within a pitch-black void vortex, Bai Guang clutched the Heartless Sword, her lower body already consumed by the swirling darkness, exposing only her upper torso and arms.

The image jolted him.

Chen Mobai couldn’t fathom the source of this sight.

Yet he soon pinpointed the cause.

As the obliterated Ming Wang Star dissolved beneath the white light, the Power of the Great Dao of Death—suppressed and scattered by the Great Dao of Destruction—coalesced into ebony droplets, drawn inexorably to the planet’s core Star Core.

Swiftly, the white destructive glow erased all matter, but the shadowy Power of the Great Dao of Death endured, slowly shaping into a black vortex.

This vortex bore an uncanny resemblance to the one engulfing Bai Guang in his vision.

Did it stem from the Death God’s essence?

Chen Mobai’s face tightened. Acting without delay, he unleashed the pure white radiance—vastly amplified from devouring Ming Wang Star—to envelop the black vortex.

Though the white light’s arrival caused the death vortex to densify further, the destructive force began eroding even death itself.

Nevertheless, the Great Dao of Death imprinted by the Death God upon Ming Wang Star centered around the Demon Lord’s lingering intent.

Despite the superior tier of the Great Dao of Destruction, it merely eroded this power gradually, unable to dissipate it instantly like the planet’s inhabitants.

Urgency plagued Chen Mobai, leaving him at a loss on aiding Bai Guang.

Right then, a familiar glow erupted from the black death vortex’s heart.

A piercing sword cry echoed next, as a gleaming frost-white blade thrust forth from the vortex’s core.

Chen Mobai instantly identified it as the Heartless Sword.

Bai Guang lurked on the vortex’s far side!?

This dawned on him, spurring frantic thoughts of assistance, when the boundless destructive white light encircling him abruptly halted its assault on the solidified Great Dao of Death and rushed toward the Heartless Sword’s edge.

Within mere breaths, the pristine white radiance that had consumed Ming Wang Star poured entirely into the Heartless Sword.

Now, the Heartless Sword’s edge gleamed with icy white luster, cleaving through the once-impenetrable black vortex.

Peering through the slim rift, Chen Mobai glimpsed the pale hand wielding the Heartless Sword.

He parted his lips to speak, only to witness the death vortex morph into the hooded Death God’s visage.

Its abyssal eyes fixed upon Chen Mobai.

Silent though it remained, the frigid malice pierced through unmistakably.

[You and your star will pay the price!]

Evidently, Ming Wang Star’s destruction alerted the Death God right away.

Chen Mobai figured the trigger lay in the destruction light activating the Death God’s lingering Great Dao of Death on the planet, yet he’d have acted identically regardless.

Ever since sealing the Death God Incarnation, Ming Wang Star and Earth Element Star had been locked in mortal enmity.

[Once I’ve devoured this woman, you’re next. No matter which arena you hide in, I’ll find you.]

The Death God transmitted these bone-chilling words anew.

Chen Mobai harbored zero fear.

Setting aside whatever tracking method the Death God employed—even if it imposed a hatred mark akin to the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court’s—he could simply retreat to the Tianhe Realm.

He doubted the Death God could pursue him there.

Besides, within this cosmos, Chen Mobai retained access to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Forget the Death God; neither his senior brother, wielder of the Innate Life and Death Great Dao, nor the Demon Lord himself would dare stir trouble in Purple Cloud Palace.

[I’ll be waiting for you!]

In reply to the Death God’s menace, Chen Mobai shot back with haughty defiance.

The Death God’s profound gaze flared as if ghostly flames might erupt.

Just then, the Heartless Sword, having fully assimilated the destructive Bai Guang, commenced its withdrawal into the vortex.

As the blade carved back through, Chen Mobai caught a hazy glimpse of the opposite scene.

For the first time in ages, his eyes locked with Bai Guang’s.

This long-parted pair suddenly stood speechless.

Even had words been possible, exchange remained impossible.

Though positioned on either side of the vortex, vast starfields—perhaps half the universe—divided them.

Chen Mobai noted Bai Guang’s lips quivering faintly, conveying a message. He promptly accessed the Immortal Gate’s lip-reading technique via the Guidance Book and decoded it.

[Don’t worry about me; soon I’ll deal with the Death God. You just take good care of our daughter at the Immortal Gate.]

Chen Mobai had planned tender reassurances for Bai Guang, but her decoded words stirred irritation instead.

They painted him as a mere househusband, depending on Bai Guang—the mother—to battle afar while he idled off her efforts.

He, the Immortal Gate’s unparalleled prodigy, first in Purple Cloud Palace, final disciple of Purple Sky Daoist Venerable—how could he burden his wife alone?

[I’ve been caring for our daughter very well; she’s about to undergo Nascent Soul Formation, soon to become one of the Three Hall Masters of the Immortal Gate. You better not die, or I’ll quickly find our daughter a stepmother...]

Uncertain if Bai Guang grasped lip-reading, Chen Mobai pressed on, but before finishing, the Great Dao of Death’s dark vortex sealed the Heartless Sword’s incision.

Bai Guang’s figure dimmed from sight.

Anxiety surged as Chen Mobai mulled ways to aid her across the vortex.

In Void Refining clashes, his arsenal of potent Magic Artifacts and aces proved utterly useless.

Items like the Primordial Clock and Primordial Yang Sword resided with his true self at the Immortal Gate.

Had they been present, they might have disrupted the death vortex, perhaps delivering the decisive blow to free Bai Guang.

"That’s right, there’s also this..."

Contemplating Magic Artifacts, Chen Mobai recalled that his current form was just a destruction avatar of heart and mind, yet the Lingxiao Immortal Armor had accompanied the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon.

"Please, senior, go and lend a hand to my wife. If she can be saved, I will definitely help you reach greater heights in the future, leading the destruction!"

Chen Mobai hurriedly detailed Bai Guang’s plight to the Lingxiao Immortal Armor. Its Artifact Spirit paused momentarily before embracing his pledge.

[With the talent you two possess, there’s hope that you might truly achieve Harmonization and destruction in the future. I hope I can pass through this Great Dao of Death.]

Upon the Lingxiao Immortal Armor’s affirmation, Chen Mobai channeled every scrap of destruction power amassed by his avatar into it.

His presence then dissolved into the cosmos, as the Lingxiao Immortal Armor detached, reforming into a white mass radiating searing white brilliance like flawless lightning, latching onto the Heartless Sword’s tip in its final instant.

The moment sword tip met Lingxiao Immortal Armor, pure white Light of Destruction blazed forth.

Simultaneously, Chen Mobai’s consciousness returned to his body beyond Earth Element Star’s Heavenly Curtain, as the Lingxiao Immortal Armor and Light of Destruction faded away.

He blinked awake, flicking his sleeve to pour plentiful Power of Void into the adjacent Portal.

Amid a deafening roar, the Portal—previously sealed to a mere sliver—flung open under his gesture.

"Pure Yang..."

Qi Yuheng and his companions behind called out, eager to hail the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon’s triumph over Ming Wang Star, only to see Chen Mobai stride through the Portal and vanish.

Silver light shimmered as Chen Mobai invoked the Portal’s might, teleporting to the void at Tianyang Star System’s fringe where Ming Wang Star had perished.
