Temporarily Sealing the Source of the Netherworld

Jiang Liu was startled. Without thinking too much, he immediately accelerated the circulation of the Saintly Sky Art's Yuan Qi within his body. Then, two Yuan Qi swords appeared in his hands, and he began to slash at the silk threads that were reaching towards him.

Because the Saintly Sky Art is Jiang Liu's current main cultivation method, he naturally activated it in his haste.

Soon, an even greater tremor came from the Source of the Netherworld, and the threads that extended out did not decrease, but increased instead.

Gongsun Haoyue, who was standing to the side, immediately waved the Skyfire Staff in her hand repeatedly, trying to use the Heavenly Fire to completely eliminate these threads.

Jiang Liu had already realized that something was wrong.

He had been using the Star Cloud Saint Art to coordinate with Gongsun Haoyue.

He never expected that what caused the disturbance in the Source of the Netherworld would be the Saintly Sky Art within his own body.

In other words, if it weren't for the Saintly Sky Art's primordial energy within his body, he wouldn't have discovered the Source of the Netherworld before.

Now that we know the reason for the appearance of the Source of the Netherworld, let's solve our current predicament first.

The issue now is not whether the Entrapment Formation will be destroyed.

Rather, if he doesn't seal off the Source of the Netherworld first, both he and Gongsun Haoyue will be in trouble.

Immediately, Jiang Liu accelerated the circulation of the Saintly Sky Art within his body, causing the vital energy on his greatsword to surge, and at the same time, a spiritual being appeared behind him.

Jiang Liu and the psychic being simultaneously swung their broadswords, frantically slashing at the extended silk threads.

Gongsun Haoyue also unleashed an even stronger heavenly fire, which burned fiercely against the silk threads.

After their efforts, the number of these extended threads temporarily decreased.

It is estimated that the opponent's attack has temporarily subsided.

Taking advantage of the break, Jiang Liu quickly took out the five inscribed array base materials and pressed them down into the Source of the Netherworld according to the five planned positions.

After the five array bases were pressed down, energy threads quickly extended from them and connected them.

The vital energy within these array base materials was pre-embedded and sealed by Jiang Liu.

As the five base materials were successfully connected, the ice blocks and threads in front of the Source of the Netherworld vanished without a trace.

Jiang Liu was not idle either. He immediately began to draw the energy threads that would reinforce the Entrapment Formation between the five array base materials.

Only in this way can the Entrapment Formation be reinforced to its most stable state.

After the reinforcement was completed, Jiang Liu did not rush to add another layer of reinforcement on top, but instead began to examine the entire Source of the Netherworld.

Since the previous Entrapment Formation was covered by the solidifying array, and then the Gathering Qi Formation was added, it still couldn't trap this Source of the Netherworld, so we must find out the reason.

Otherwise, once I leave, this Entrapment Formation will still be broken.

Gongsun Haoyue, who was standing to the side, had already begun to sit cross-legged and recover her vital energy.

"Buzz!" At this moment, Jiang Liu felt a tremor in his Divine Sea.

Is this the Source of the Netherworld trembling after being trapped? Or is it a sign that the Source of the Netherworld is about to break free of the Entrapment Formation?

Jiang Liu quickly looked inward and saw that there was still a thread of the Source of the Netherworld remaining in his Divine Sea.

What's going on? Could it be that the Source of the Netherworld is blaming me?

Jiang Liu then Illusory Transformation a small spiritual figure within his Divine Sea, holding a small knife, and began to slash the silk threads.

After being chopped for a while, the silk thread did not weaken at all; on the contrary, it seemed to grow thicker and stronger.

Jiang Liu suddenly felt uneasy. If he couldn't cut this thread, who knew what kind of danger might arise?

Jiang Liu was frantically thinking of a solution, completely unaware of the changes happening around him.

At this moment, Gongsun Haoyue opened her eyes and said urgently to Jiang Liu, "Husband, quickly look around."

Jiang Liu was immediately awakened by Gongsun Haoyue and pulled his attention out of his Divine Sea.

When he saw the situation around him, he was also taken aback.

The threads that had been cleared away earlier reappeared.

However, these threads now appear lifeless, hanging haphazardly in mid-air like dead seaweed.

Jiang Liu examined it carefully and found that the threads had always been there; they hadn't been removed at all.

So what I just cleared away was just my own visual illusion.

The reason they are showing up now is because these threads have lost the support of Dark Primal Qi and can no longer absorb ordinary energy.

The lack of Dark Primal Qi is easy to understand; the entire Source of the Netherworld has been resealed by the Entrapment Formation.

However, if it cannot absorb ordinary vital energy, then it must be related to the Primal Qi Barrier outside.

He and Gongsun Haoyue absorbed all the ordinary spiritual energy in the area.

Especially since he had just accelerated the Yuanqi Saintly Sky Art, while Gongsun Haoyue later meditated to recover the Yuanqi she had consumed.

So the fact that these threads are showing now proves that they have truly been removed.

Lack of vital energy? Primal Qi Barrier?

In an instant, Jiang Liu understood why the Entrapment Formation had been broken so quickly last time.

This is because the vital energy here cannot keep up with the consumption of the Entrapment Formation and the Solidifying Formation, which is why it was easily broken. It is not that the Entrapment Formation was ineffective.

After thinking it through, Jiang Liu activated the Saintly Sky Art within his body, drawing out the vital energy from his dantian and channeling it into the five array base materials.

Jiang Liu stopped when he felt his vital energy was about to be drained.

He then said to Gongsun Haoyue, "I'll go out and break that Primal Qi Barrier, and you burn all these threads here."

Gongsun Haoyue nodded and said, "Don't worry! I will."

Jiang Liu immediately leaped up and flew towards the Primal Qi Barrier above.

Jiang Liu did not notice that when he was far away from the Source of the Netherworld, the threads wrapped around his Divine Sea began to thin.

As his figure passed through the Primal Qi Barrier, the entire thread snapped instantly and disappeared.

The broken threads fell into his Divine Sea and were soaked by his spiritual power.

The small spiritual figure he Illusory Transformation also dissipated and vanished without a trace.

Jiang Liu looked at the Primal Qi Barrier in front of him, wondering how he could break it.

This Primal Qi Barrier looks like a thin film formed by water vapor.

However, it is formless and intangible, and people can freely enter and exit it.

Its main function is to prevent the vital energy inside from being transmitted out.

Of course, correspondingly, external energy also cannot enter inside.

This is why the internal energy is relatively less than the external energy, which is why Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue's energy is depleted.

After Jiang Liu emerged, he began circulating the Saintly Sky Art within his body to restore his vital energy while simultaneously racking his brains for a solution to break through the Primal Qi Barrier.

Only then did he realize that the threads within his Divine Sea had vanished without a trace.
