Chapter 442: Chapter 442
Hidden Task: The third ring of purifying the mother of shadows, the offering of the defiled power, is underway. Please wait for the arrival of the Spring of Purification.
"The Spring of Purification? What is that? Have you guys heard of it?" Du You asked curiously. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
The two sisters exchanged glances and shook their heads, "Master, if you don’t know, we certainly won’t know." True. Given their previous living environments, they would have never had the chance to encounter such things.
Besides, ordinary people generally do not have the opportunity to interact with such things unless they have become professionals or semi-professionals. Due to their lack of qualifications, major alliances would not allow ordinary people to know.
Perhaps some elderly individuals may gain some understanding through other means, but it is ultimately not through any formal channels.
In the world of ordinary people, their understanding of professionals and some presences in the Other World is limited. They are not capable of truly comprehending the details.
Without becoming a professional, you would simply not have the qualifications to be in contact with higher-level powers.
The rising evil power keeps diminishing until it completely disappears, offered up by a special power.
The special power in the sky, on the other hand, becomes stronger during the offering process. Even Du You can feel it. It’s not a luminary power, nor can it be described as a positive power.
This power does not distinguish between good and evil, it is simply a very pure, very pure sort of strange power. Just feeling it could make Du You feel as if all his troubles and thoughts have disappeared.
It felt like returning to infancy, without any thoughts or desires.
"Be careful, this power is too dangerous." Du You was awakened suddenly and quickly retracted his spiritual power. He almost lost himself just now. The two sisters obviously don’t have such sophisticated spiritual power manipulation skills, so they didn’t feel it as clearly. However, hearing Du You’s words, both of them didn’t dare to probe any further.
The group kept retreating, moving away from this place.
Meanwhile, the mother of shadows beneath the Demon Swamp was ferociously hitting the seal even more. Since the beginning of the magic array, the mother of shadows has stopped attacking them, and all her power is focused on breaking the seal.
But unfortunately, the seal was too robust. It was not something that a juvenile shadow could break open.
However, with the continuous striking of the mother of shadows, the ground kept trembling as if there was an earthquake. The demons nearby didn’t dare to approach. Even due to the power hovering in the sky, the demons felt extraordinarily repellent, not only not approaching but continuously distancing themselves instead.
Humans in the distance felt it but couldn’t possibly arrive in time. They didn’t even know what had happened.
After an unknown amount of time passed, when the last trace of evil power disappeared, Du You saw a clear, transparent cluster of water appear in the sky. Du You knew then, that it was the Spring of Purification.
However, because of what he had experienced before, Du You didn’t dare to deploy his spiritual power to probe it, he could only observe with his eyes.
Before he understood what the Spring of Purification was, there was no way Du You was going to let himself fall back into the condition he was in before.
The magic array began to dissolve gradually since its mission was accomplished. Under the mother of shadows’ continual strike, the barrier of the magic array began to shudder. The Void, which had initially been still, began to crack.
Unfortunately, it was too late, because the Spring of Purification had fallen from the sky, landing into the Demon Swamp.
Du You felt as if everything around him had lost its color, turning everything white. He couldn’t see anything. If it weren’t for the summoning panel that he could still see, he would’ve thought he had gone blind.
"Don’t move around, stay where you are," Du You advised those around him.
Suddenly, Du You felt four hands grab his arm - the hands belonged to Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi. When they grasped his arm, he was finally able to calm down.
About a minute later, the light gradually faded away. No, that shouldn’t be termed as light, Du You realised.
That sensation wasn’t that of being blinded by strong light but rather that everything in his sight had turned white with nothing discernible. His eyes didn’t feel a hint of discomfort. Even with his eyes closed, the surroundings remained white.
The white was gradually dissipating now. It was not the feeling of decreasing light intensity.
"My god, what has happened?" Du You opened his eyes wide, observing the changing landscape before him. The once pitch-black Demon Swamp, looking like a pool of oil, had disappeared.
In its place was a clear lake, the water level seemed to have risen significantly. Apart from the absence of fish or shrimp, the water was so clear that it could perhaps be used directly as purified water.
The oppressive atmosphere that once filled the air had vanished entirely, replaced with air that was remarkably fresh. Du You hadn’t enjoyed such fresh air for days.
Looking at the ground, it too had completely changed its appearance. The ground once corroded by the power of the demons, had been completely purified, restored to its original fertile state. The demonic plants either completely disappeared or returned to their previous forms before the demonisation, giving off a sense of purity just by looking at them.
A faint light enveloped the area within ten kilometers around the Demon Swamp. If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t even notice this light entrapping the area.
Under the protection of this light, the demonic force from outside couldn’t corrode the area within. Instead, whenever any demonic force approached, it was devoured by the light, and the scope of the light’s coverage would enlarge.
"It can actually spread the power of purity by devouring the demonic force. Wondering if this power can always maintain this state. If it could, this entire world would be purified," Du You murmured to himself, not having a full understanding of this level of power.
Maybe the Spring of Purification could really purify an entire world.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang beside Du You’s ear.
"The Demon Swamp has been purified into Purity Land, professionals’ control over this world elevates."
Such a large-scale notification appeared unexpectedly, startling Du You. Because the sound just now was not only audible to him alone. According to the notification, it’s very likely every professional heard it.
He didn’t know if the indigenous people could hear it, but this was clearly not a place to stay much longer. If people knew he was the one who did it, and he didn’t have any connections or support, that would be bad. "We need to move fast, let’s get out of here."
Upon hearing Du You’s instruction, the two sisters nodded, and the group hopped onto the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, madly running towards the south.
