Chapter 2300
Chen Xuan raised his hand with trembling hands and stroked the hair of his children in the world of inner demons.
He personally watched these children being born, taught them to read and write, and guided them to cultivate their inner energy, helping them grow into adults little by little.
This warmth of family reunion was a long-cherished dream etched into his soul, a dream so intense it was enough to tear his heart apart.
"Waaah... Daddy, please don't be angry, okay? My brothers and sisters and I will never be naughty again, and we will never make you worry again..." The youngest porcelain doll-like daughter rushed into his arms, her little hands tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, crying uncontrollably.
"Father...don't go..." Several of the older children also gathered around, pleading with sobs.
Chen Xuan's tear-filled eyes slowly turned to Zi Mo, Tian Xing, Lin Yuyao, Zhan Xin, and the others. His voice was hoarse like a broken gong, each word carrying the weight of blood and tears:
“I have been with you in this world for seven million years. I know that my Dao heart has reached its limit... If I continue to sink, I will die completely and never have the chance to find the real you again.”
"Zi Mo, Yu Yao, Xin'er, Tian Xing..." He looked at the four of them, slowly shook his head, and tears streamed down his face even more fiercely.
"Rest assured, your husband will do everything in his power to bring you back to life! Our family will surely be reunited in the real world!"
These clear and bright words seemed to have touched the last line of defense against the inner demons.
Zi Mo, Tian Xing, and the other four who had already died in the real world could no longer remain calm. They rushed towards Chen Xuan, tightly hugging his arms and waist, and recounting their past over and over again—their first encounter in Qushan, their time together at the Immortal Fate Gathering, their protection at the critical moment of life and death… Every detail was a memory etched deep in Chen Xuan’s soul.
Chen Xuan's heart trembled violently, the gap in his Dao heart widened, and his memories of the real world faded like a painting. He almost forgot that the perfection before him was an illusion, and forgot his original purpose in undergoing tribulation.
"enough!"
A loud shout shattered the whispers in my ears.
The last trace of hesitation in Chen Xuan's eyes vanished, and a sword finger appeared at his fingertips. A dazzling sword light shot out and pierced straight through Zi Mo's chest!
Blood gushed from Zi Mo's mouth. Her eyes shifted from astonishment to terror, then to relief and tenderness. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Chen Xuan and murmured with difficulty:
"Husband... I know... This isn't your fault... I don't want to be a burden to you... I... I'll wait for you..." Before she could finish speaking, her figure turned into specks of light and slowly dissipated.
"Mother! Waaah... Father, why did you kill Mother?! Waaah Mother... This is a nightmare, isn't it?" The little girl in her arms was stunned. She had never even dreamed of such a scene. Her father had changed, and her mother was dead, right before her eyes, killed by her most beloved father with his own hands.
Chen Xuan felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of steel needles.
But he knew there was no way out. He suddenly raised his hand and with another sword strike, turned his crying little daughter into shards of light.
Next came Tianxing, Zhanxin, Linyuyao, Qiuzixian, Piaoxue... all his Daoist companions who had lived together for seven million years, and all his lively and adorable children, who all fell under his sword and turned into illusory light and mist.
"Xiao Xuan, how could you be so cruel? You've gone mad!!"
The moment his Daoist companions and children were all annihilated, Elder Long, the Old Celestial Master, Daoist Zhishun, Zhong Yunlong, and his personally trained disciples Jiang Linglong and Shi Hao appeared in the void, each with a face full of shock and heartache.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Linglong staggered to Chen Xuan's side, her eyes red and her face streaked with tears. "You weren't like this before! You loved us the most, how could you be so heartless? Master, please don't scare Linglong."
Looking at the familiar faces before him, and feeling the pain and incomprehension in their eyes, Chen Xuan was on the verge of collapse.
He roared to the sky, screaming hysterically, "Inner demon! What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them all out! Hahaha!!"
