"Huh..."

Between Ji Jiayu's breaths, boundless light entered his body, increasing his strength.

He gently raised his right hand, and a hot wind blew across the heavens and earth.

Nie Lanxi stood on his shoulder, looking a little small, but as the guardian of the person in charge, she could also share some of the light giant's power.

This made his body stronger and able to carry more god-level divine power. At this moment, he alone could explode with star god-level combat power.

In the City of Light and Darkness, the Light Clan, Human Clan, and Mixed Races from the Two Clans who were fighting against the Light and Dark Demon Clan members stared at this massive light giant, their hearts excited and proud, as if they had witnessed victory.

However, at this moment, majestic demonic energy surged out from the Chongguang Dark Moon Tower.

Everyone turned their heads and suddenly saw a row of tenth-level demon gods, ten of them. Among them were not only demon gods from the Light and Dark Demon Clans, but also demon gods from other branches of the Demon Clan. Clearly, at this critical moment, the Light and Dark Demon Clans had issued a request for assistance from the Demon Realm.

The appearance of numerous demon gods made many light people, humans, and mixed races nervous. They feared that the light giant transformed by Ji Jiayu would not be a match for the demon god.

However, facing a ten-star god-level demon god, Ji Jiayu was not nervous, even if there was a peak tenth-level demon god like Zou Xiang among them.

Transforming into a light giant, his strength increased with every passing moment, and he was about to break through the tenth-level limit.

The light giant transformed by Ji Jiayu raised his right hand, and as light flowed, a line of light emerged from his palm. It absorbed the light everywhere and gradually took shape—a spear.

A spear of light.

The body of the weapon was a gradient, from the orange of the morning light to the blazing white of the sun, and then to the dim yellow of the sunset in the evening, with the tip of the spear a deep gold.

The entire spear was absorbed by the power of light, its aura becoming increasingly terrifying, and the spear tip becoming increasingly sharp.

Although they were far apart, the ten demon gods led by Zou Xiang still felt the power of the light spear. Their expressions were either calm or terrified, but there was no fear or retreat.

Each of them displayed their own demonic appearance, each opening their own path, fully prepared to pounce on the giant of light.

Many people from the Guangming clan, the human race, and both races grew increasingly nervous.

Not only them, but also many Ming gods on Paradise Island also sensed or saw what was happening beneath the Chongguang Dark Moon Tower with their consciousness, and they couldn't help but sweat for Ji Jiayu.

The Ming gods closer to the Great Prophet offered to help, but the Great Prophet refused without even thinking. He simply said one simple sentence: "Trust me."

At this moment, throughout the entire Chenghai Sacred Battlefield, most of the Guangming clan had no idea that the end of this war might be near.

The outcome was entirely in the hands of these three people. Tang Yunqing, the person in charge of the Sea Dragon Ball. Ji Jiayu, the person in charge of the Sacred Pearl, and Beiyue Shangchen, the person in charge of the Netherworld Pearl.

"Boom!"

Flames suddenly rose from the light spear, lingering around it, making explosive sounds. The flame's temperature was extremely high, directly distorting the surrounding space.

Ji Jiayu sensed the movements of the dark giant transformed by Beiyue Shangchen, sensing its every move, and continuously increased the power of the light spear in his hand.

At the same time, Nie Lanxi jumped into the flames at some point, but the flames didn't burn him, but instead warmed him like warm water.

"No, wait any longer!"

"Hold on any longer, we won't be able to withstand this fire!"

"We must seize the initiative!"

In the direction the light spear pointed, the ten demon gods had adjusted to their best condition. After a brief discussion, they opened a path with their own domains and rushed towards Ji Jiayu, but this final distance was extremely difficult to traverse.

Within just a few hundred meters, countless beams of light fell from the sky, violently striking their field, consuming their demonic energy, and occasionally crippling one or two gaps in their field, affecting their battle.

"Just wait a little longer, and it'll be fine soon."

Ji Jiayu didn't look at them, still sensing the movements of the dark giant. The war seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Whether they were members of the demon race, members of the light race, humans, or hybrids of the two races, all eyes were focused on Ji Jiayu and the ten demon gods.

They could sense that Ji Jiayu was about to throw a spear of light.

It was indeed as they had imagined, except that they didn't see the spear of light being thrown; it disappeared in place without a trace.

Disappearing with it was Nie Lanxi.

On the other hand, after throwing the spear of light, the light giant shrank sharply, seemingly injecting all its power into the spear of light.

"What's going on?"

Everyone who saw the spear of light disappear was stunned.

The spear disappeared, and the light giant shrank, as if nothing had happened.

However, just as everyone was wondering, a black demonic cloud suddenly condensed in the sky, and drops of demonic energy rained down, turning into a torrential downpour almost instantly.

This phenomenon was clearly abnormal.

As a result, many people realized something, but they couldn't believe it, and their eyes didn't dare to look at the demon god rushing towards Ji Jiayu.

The ten demon gods still maintained their forward posture, still persisting in intercepting the light.

However, in reality, the domain of these ten demon gods had been completely penetrated. Not only that, but their bodies and hearts had also been pierced one by one.

Everything happened in just one ten-millionth of a second.

Under the onslaught of light, they had no time to react, even if they were demon gods.

After killing the ten renowned demon gods in an overwhelming manner, the spear of light didn't stop, but continued flying towards Sogo's Dark Moon Tower. It kept going back and forth, as if threading a needle, and in less than a second, almost the entire Chongguang Dark Moon Tower was penetrated.

At this moment, demonic clouds enveloped the Dark Moon Chongguang Tower, and roars and explosions came one after another, but they were very short-lived. However, Ji Jiayu knew that it was Beiyue Shangchen and Huo Li Ji who had made the move, and that the other party was definitely a Moon God-level powerhouse.

Only a Moon God-level demon god was qualified to guard the heart of the Light God and stabilize the light barrier.

Ji Jiayu immediately led the light spear to fly away, and the light scattered by the sun continued to converge into the light spear, increasing its power.

Despite being obstructed by the thick layer of clouds and fog, Ji Jiayu couldn't see the demon god guarding the heart of the Light God, but the attacks from his light spear left the demon god dizzy.

It wasn't that Ji Jiayu didn't want to approach, but after he had fused the power of the light giant into the light spear, he had lost his strength, and the Holy Light Pearl had also temporarily lost its power.

He was able to mobilize the light spear from such a distance thanks to Nie Lanxi, who was hiding in the flames and could be considered a member of the same clan as him.

In the tower, a war between darkness and light was brewing.

Facing the spear of light that absorbed the power of the light giant and the holy orb, even an eleventh-level demon god was a little flustered.

As a result, Beiyue Shangchen quickly found an opportunity, and the huge dark giant reached out to grab the heart of the Light God.

However, at that moment, Ji Jiayu had a strong premonition.

His heart seemed to skip a beat, and in his daze, he saw Nie Lanxi falling straight from the sky.

Nie Lanxi was also staring at him, with absolute calm in her indifferent golden eyes.

With just one glance, Ji Jiayu understood all his thoughts.

He had done it voluntarily, and he had no regrets.

The divine-grade divine power in his body was linked to the Light God Heart of a twelfth-order Great Heavenly God. He seemed to have long known that if the Light God Heart were lost, he would die, but he still went to help Beiyue Shangchen stop the eleventh-order Moon God without hesitation.

He wasn't indifferent at all!

And it wasn't until Nie Lanxi fell that the Light God Heart was grasped by that giant dark hand. When all sound ceased, countless members of the Light Clan, Human Clan, Hybrid Races, and Light-Dark Demon Clan saw the Demon God Field suddenly shatter, as well as the ten Demon Gods who had lost their hearts.

They were so shocked that they couldn't even speak, and they didn't even know how these ten Demon Gods died. They looked at Ji Jiayu in disbelief and saw the sorrow in Ji Jiayu's eyes.

Following Ji Jiayu's gaze, everyone saw Nie Lanxi falling from the sky, his body becoming increasingly dark, and their hearts were filled with unrest.

All the members of the Guangming clan knew that Nie Lanxi was Ji Jiayu's guardian. Since they met Ji Jiayu, they had been together, and they had a deep bond. But now, for the sake of the Light Clan's victory, he had died.

For a time, many of the Guangming clan had mixed feelings.

Seeing Ji Jiayu a little depressed, Beiyue Shangchen's voice came from afar.

"To destroy the Barrier of Light, I must destroy the Heart of the Light God. But don't worry, it won't die. You've become a light element, and your future path will be inextricably linked to light. Do you know what happens when you exceed the speed of light?

"Once you exceed the speed of light, you can regain it."

"Beyond the speed of light?" When Ji Jiayu heard this, his eyes gradually brightened.

He could tell that Beiyue Shangchen wasn't lying to him, and he could also see from Nie Lanxi's eyes that he trusted him.

He had always known everything.

"I want to surpass the speed of light, I want to find it, I want to regain it!" Ji Jiayu, who had been depressed for less than half a minute, suddenly came back to life.

And just as Ji Jiayu killed ten demon gods with a spear of light, destroyed the foundation of the Chongguang Dark Moon Tower, and retrieved the Heart of the Light God, under the barrier of light, Tang Yunqing, the master of the Sea Dragon Balls, also played a significant role.

The huge sea giant hung in the air, raising his hands, and the water mist and water vapor in the air instantly condensed into a lake.

But that wasn't enough.

Therefore, The sea giant continued to raise his arms.

In the sea thousands of kilometers away, golden seawater suddenly rose, converging into a heavenly river, and rushing towards the holy city.

The heavenly sea rapidly emerged, covering the sky and rolling up the most terrifying waves.

Under Tang Yunqing's control, the heavenly sea poured into the City of Light and Darkness, destroying almost all the buildings. The Chongguang Dark Moon Tower, which had already suffered damage to its foundations, collapsed directly to the ground, sending smoke and dust billowing out.

The light barrier rumbled, transforming into pure divine power and blending into the shattered ground of Paradise Island.

"It's over..."

This scene presented itself to the many knowledgeable Ming gods, causing them to sigh with excitement.

That's right, it was over. No matter how many demon gods there were inside and outside Light and Dark City, no matter how stubbornly the Light and Dark Demon Clan members resisted, it didn't matter.

The light barrier shattered, the Chongguang Dark Moon Tower collapsed, and the heart of the light god was controlled by Beiyue Shangchen. This war could end here, and all that remained was the finishing touches.

In the ensuing war, Ji Jiayu didn't participate.

After injecting the Light Giant's energy into the Spear of Light, he collapsed to the ground, and eventually, Beiyue Shangchen and Huo Li Ji carried him away.

Under the Great Prophet's arrangement, they settled in a remote fishing village far from the battlefield. After a full week, Ji Jiayu finally recovered somewhat from his weakness, and by this time, Beiyue Shangchen and Huo Li Ji had already left.

During this week, Ji Jiayu's appearance on the battlefield spread throughout Paradise Island, and Nie Lanxi's sacrifice also filled many Guangming people with regret and guilt.

For a time, the attitudes of countless Guangming tribesmen towards Ji Jiayu changed drastically. Most of them truly accepted the fact that he had joined the Sacred Sect, and also accepted the fact that he might affect the Guangming Clan's future. All of this was due to his and Nie Lanxun's efforts, regardless of life and death.

However, this wasn't important to Ji Jiayu.

What was important was that Beiyue Shangchen patiently taught him some knowledge of cultivation, and also taught him some knowledge about the Seven Divine Beads.

What was important was that Beiyue Shangchen told him that he had established an organization called Shenlan.

What was important was that Beiyue Shangchen told him what a heavy responsibility the person in charge of their Seven Divine Beads bore, and his future would no longer be uncertain.

Most importantly, Beiyue Shangchen told him how to transcend the light.

Ji Jiayu stood on the beach, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and the seawater beneath his feet rising and falling. He looked in the direction Beiyue Shangchen and Huo Liji had disappeared, which was also the direction the sun was shining, and the warm light shone on him.

"Beyond the light..." Ji Jiayu murmured softly.
