Renewed Complications

Seeing this, Yue Ji was even more horrified. His pupils contracted sharply, stormy waves churning in his eyes. Veins bulged along his neck as his gaze turned cold. Without hesitation, he spat a mouthful of blood essence at the great seal. The scarlet blood was like a burning flame, carrying scorching heat as it rushed toward the seal.

After absorbing Yue Ji's blood essence, a fine layer of red light instantly appeared across the great seal's surface, like countless tiny crimson snakes slithering wildly over it.

The red glow grew ever brighter until it resembled a miniature crimson sun, its might more than twice what it had been before.

The surrounding air twisted under the pressure, and the spectators around the arena all changed expression.

Yue Ji's face grew even paler, like the last snow of winter, utterly devoid of color. His lips trembled slightly, and his body swayed, nearly unable to remain standing. Yet he had no strength to worry about his own condition. Forcing down the surging blood and qi within him, he hurriedly controlled the great seal and smashed it toward the white barrier once more.

As the great seal fell, a thunderous bang made everyone's eardrums ache. The entire arena shook violently, and fine cracks appeared across the ground.

This time, when the great seal struck the white barrier, it lasted for only a breath before exploding apart. The instant the barrier shattered, countless dazzling rays of white light burst forth, like an enormous white firework blooming above the arena.

Then the great seal crashed down without obstruction. The eggshell below, already riddled with cracks, shattered the moment it touched the seal. Crisp, piercing cracks rang out one after another.

Eggshell fragments scattered everywhere like snowflakes, while the great seal continued its descent with overwhelming force.
