The dark red mist surging around him was like water droplets thrown into boiling oil, emitting a sizzling explosion as it rapidly dissolved.

The fanaticism on his face was instantly replaced by pain and confusion, and his movements slowed by more than a beat.

Bai Cheng's figure flashed past his eyes, and her transparent longsword swept across his neck without a hint of worldly aura.

No blood splattered; the Demon General's entire body collapsed like a sandcastle upon being struck, turning into a stream of the most primal dark red energy.

It was then completely purified and swallowed by the starlight flowing within the domain, becoming a negligible bit of nourishment for it.

"A domain?! Impossible! She has only lit five clusters of starfire; how could she form such a stable composite belief domain?!"

Another Demon General roared in horror, his offensive involuntarily slowing down.

"It is not a simple domain; it is the external manifestation of the resonance of the five clusters of starfire in her soul, a symbol of the preliminary foundation of the path of the emperor."

The Purifier's cold voice rang out again, carrying an unquestionable command.

"Form the array! Trap her with the Heart-Eroding Spirit-Devouring Formation, extract her beliefs, and offer them to the seed of world purification!"

Hearing this, the remaining seventeen Demon Generals quickly changed positions. Dark red energy surged wildly between them, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a massive dark red array diagram that covered half the sky.

In the center of the array diagram, a twisted, constantly opening and closing giant mouth emerged. Deep within the mouth was endless darkness and suction, aimed directly at Bai Cheng's soul and starfire.

Terrifying suction pulled at her, and Bai Cheng could feel the starfire deep in her soul begin to flicker. Streams of belief light were being pulled away bit by bit, flowing toward that giant mouth.

The surrounding five-colored domain also emitted an overburdened creaking sound, its light beginning to flicker uncertainly.

"Miss!" The booming explosions and roaring thunder dragons stirred up by Zi Yuan and Blue Bird to the east could be heard as they tried to interfere with the formation, but they were too far away, and the effect was minimal.

Lu Duo and Yu Nian's breathing became rapid in the pipe area below; they had clearly encountered obstacles as well.

Bai Cheng's silver eyes narrowed slightly as she looked up at the giant mouth emitting an ominous aura.

She could feel that the core of this formation was not just energy,

but also a fusion of the despair and malice of countless corrupted souls, which were constantly battering and polluting her beliefs.

Resisting it head-on was not the solution.

Her gaze swept across the nodes where the array diagram flowed. Deep in her soul,

the five clusters of starfire within the Star Rail Gate suddenly began to move according to a mysterious trajectory, resonating with a corner of the star track reconstruction blueprint in her memory.

"I see..." Bai Cheng whispered to herself, a realization dawning in her heart.

Reconstructing star track is not just about connecting and lighting them up, but also about correcting and channeling.

The belief network of the Emerald Sea being corrupted was like the star track being blocked by filth, and this formation before her was precisely one of the accumulation points of that filth.

She stopped resisting the suction and instead took the initiative to release her control over part of the belief light streams.

Wisps of silver-white light obediently allowed themselves to be sucked into the giant mouth at the center of the array diagram.

The Demon Generals maintaining the formation had just begun to show joy on their faces when they suddenly froze in the next moment.

Because those silver-white lights that were sucked in were not devoured or converted by the formation. Instead, like the most agile fish, they swam upstream along the path of the formation's energy flow,

precisely piercing into every critical formation eye node that carried resentment!

"Not good! She is tracing back to the pollution core!" A Demon General's face paled in horror.

But it was too late. The moment the silver-white light touched those resentment nodes, it did not forcibly purify or destroy them.

Instead, like gentle flowing water, it softly wrapped around the painfully howling soul fragments within. It transmitted {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} the ancient soul-soothing star script of Star Chart Island that Bai Cheng had obtained from Erosion Heart and verified through the Mind Image Star Sea, along with the thoughts of warmth, hope, and perseverance represented by the five-colored starfire.

"Pain... can be understood, but it should not become a shackle."

"Despair... can be remembered, but the dawn will eventually come."

"Your suffering will not be in vain. I will end all of this."

Along with these thoughts, the frenzied resentment in the array diagram was like a pacified beast; the howling gradually weakened, and faint silver-white light spots began to mix into the dark red energy flow.

*Crack!*

A slight crisp sound rang out, as if a shackle had been opened.

The light of a key node in the array diagram suddenly dimmed, and subsequently, the operation of the entire grand formation became sluggish. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Now!" The shadow of star track flashed in Bai Cheng's eyes as she raised her transparent longsword high.

The five-colored domain suddenly contracted, and all its power gathered at the tip of the blade.

It was no longer a simple condensation of belief, but carried the will to correct and channel. Like a precise scalpel, it aimed at the blockage in the formation's energy flow,

the very root of that giant mouth, and slashed down fiercely!

The silver-white sword light flashed and vanished.

There was no earth-shattering explosion. The dark red array diagram covering the sky was like a giant beast that had its spine removed; it twitched violently and then began to disintegrate and dissipate from within.

The seventeen Demon Generals groaned in unison, their auras becoming chaotic. The backlash from the formation caused them instant injury.

Bai Cheng's figure passed through the disintegrating dark red light. Her footsteps did not stop for a moment as she continued toward the base of the giant crystalline tree.

She walked in the direction of the central control room. Her aura fluctuated slightly, but her gaze was even brighter and more determined.

This was the first time she had tried to apply the star track reconstruction blueprint concept in actual combat to counter the corruption network, and the effect was better than expected.

However, just as she approached the base of the giant tree and the heavy door constructed of dark red crystals became clearly visible,

three suffocatingly terrifying pressures, like three volcanoes that had slept for eons, slowly awoke from behind the door.

The door slid open a crack silently, and light as dark red as blood surged out from the gap.

A cold, indifferent voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion, came from inside the door:

"Fire Thief, your performance ends here."

"This place is your end, and also the... destination of your starfire."

The three Purifiers were finally going to take action personally.

And far away within the rotten marrow mist, on the spear of the Lion Star Guard, starlight had condensed to the extreme.

He licked his lips, cold light radiating from his eyes.

"The Purifiers have made their move... Good. When they are both wounded, that nearly completed seed of world purification,

along with the pure starfire and emperors imprint within her... will all be the spoils of my Star Track Battle Group!"

The final curtain of the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone was completely drawn at this moment.
