Sealing and Backlash

Ling Xiao roared, his earth-shattering voice resounding through the sky. It was as if a third eye had opened between his brows, and his divine blood was scattered, all of which merged into the Great Dao patterns above his head.

In an instant, Ling Xiao's body seemed to shrink rapidly, and his once-flowing black hair turned white, but only for a moment before returning to black.

That instantaneous change meant he lost billions of years of lifespan, which is nothing more than a snap of the fingers for a being of his level.

However, the power brought by this lifespan of billions of years is enormous. The Chaos Heaven-Sealing Technique, which seals powerful things, requires a powerful feedback as a medium to provide energy.

Ling Xiao wants to seal is the Heavenly Dao, an existence far beyond himself.

"Om-long..."

A terrifying ripple spread outwards, and above Ling Xiao's head, the laws of the Great Dao intertwined densely, forming a law array that encompassed heaven and earth.

In an instant, the array diagram expanded to an infinite size, boundless, covering the entire sky like a vast net, tightly sealed, leaving no gaps, capturing all life.

The moment this net-like formation was formed, all the powerful beings in the world witnessed this scene, gazing up at the sky in astonishment.

They trembled with a terrible premonition.

They had clearly heard Ling Xiao's shout just now, and looking at this array diagram now, they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild, conjuring up many terrifying thoughts.

"Is this an attempt to seal away the Heavenly Dao?"

For them, this was an inconceivable, incomprehensible, and completely beyond their imagination.

Houtu in the Nine Underworlds Hell and Nuwa in the Wa Palace were both shocked. They felt a heart-palpitating aura on that array diagram, and even their souls trembled.

"Terrible, I never imagined things would develop to this point..." Nuwa said, standing in front of the Wa Palace, her face blank.

What was originally just a simple Conflict of the Human Emperors has now escalated to the point where even the Heavenly Dao is at stake, and it seems that Ling Xiao intends to seal away the Heavenly Dao.

This is insane!

At this moment, she was very glad that she hadn't gotten involved in this mess. Just look at Laozi current situation; going against Ling Xiao might seem advantageous, but in the end, you'll never gain anything.

She didn't choose to help the Dao Ancestor; instead, she chose to remain a nobody in the Wa Palace —what a wise choice that was!

"If Ling Xiao can truly control the Heavenly Dao..."

Nuwa's phoenix eyes flickered, and she suddenly began to daydream. If this were true, then the Primordial World would probably have to change its masters.

However, she was only daydreaming about it. In Nuwa's view, the chances of success were too low. As far as she knew, there had never been any sealing technique that could seal the Heavenly Dao.

That's too unrealistic.

The saints in the Primordial Galaxy all had increasingly grim and solemn expressions.

"This... this is simply a fantasy!"

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!" Zhun Ti suddenly burst into laughter, his face full of disbelief.

"Bluster!" Jieyin 'Jieyin softened, and he coldly echoed.

"Heh... delusional to seal the heavens? Daydreaming!" Yuanshi sneered, not believing that Ling Xiao could do it at all. Pangu only created the heavens, how could Ling Xiao want to seal them?

If you seal the sky, you'll be even more awesome than Pangu!

"Daydreaming? Where's the sun now... It's going to be tough!" Tongtian shook his head and chuckled, seemingly amused.

"Don't panic, everyone! Believe in the Heavenly Dao, believe in your teacher," Laozi said solemnly, his voice loud, as if he was deliberately raising his voice to bolster his courage because he was feeling guilty.

Yuanshi glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

It was obvious that they weren't panicking, but the elder brother Laozi were a bit flustered. However, he could understand, as this was of great importance, especially to the foundation of his Laozi's life.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's Chaos Heaven-Sealing Technique was complete, and the Great Dao patterns were incredibly clear and lifelike.

The tribulations of Heavenly Dao were even more terrifying; any single lightning bolt could Destruction or pierce through Sage, accompanied by a terrifying roar.

It was as if thousands of Ancient God were whispering, intertwined, eerie and solemn, sending chills down one's spine and inspiring awe.

That terrifying lightning tribulation was a trace formed by the origin of the Heavenly Dao, possessing divine power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Yet, when it struck the array diagram evolved from the Heaven-Sealing Art, it was unable to Destruction it.

Hongjun, watching all this from within the Heavenly Dao, was nearly driven mad. He sensed that this thing was terrifying, possessing a power that even made him tremble.

"Damn it! Why does this wretched creature possess such a sealing technique?" Hongjun roared, his face ashen.

"Seal up!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand expressionlessly and pointed. The array that separated the sky from the earth slowly moved and began to close in, silently and without a trace, seemingly tangible but actually intangible.

"Buzz... Boom!"

The sealed array diagram swallowed the endless sea of lightning, struck the Heavenly Dao, and vanished into the void without a trace.

The next moment, the Heavenly Dao roared, and the endless void above trembled violently, unleashing a terrifying and dreadful power.

It felt like the sky was about to collapse.

Di Jun and the others inside the Chaos Green Lotus were completely bewildered, their eyes filled with deep astonishment.

"Is Third Brother really sealing the Heavenly Dao?"

Di Jun pointed to the top of his head, gesturing for the others to look.

"Maybe... maybe? And it seems like it's close to success!" Tai Yi shrugged, his face filled with shock and speechlessness.

What else could he say?

This Third Brother always manages to come up with something new and interesting.

After so long, I've almost gotten used to it.

They even possess the Chaos Green Lotus, so it's quite reasonable for them to have this kind of supernatural power to seal the Heavenly Dao, right?

"Haha, that's great! We don't have to die together!" Di Jun laughed loudly. He had thought that Ling Xiao was unwilling to leave and would fight to the death, so they would naturally advance and retreat together.

After all that, it turns out that the Third Brother was preparing a powerful move to seal the Heavenly Dao.

If successful, the Primordial World will belong to the Golden Crow Clan.

This is much better than the Sun Heaven they created haphazardly.

"Look! The Heavenly Dao seems to have stopped moving!"

Suddenly, Ziwei spoke up, seemingly having discovered a startling secret.

"This thing isn't some random cat or dog, how could it just stop moving like that?" Di Jun said with a smile.

However, just as Ziwei said, the commotion in the void subsided, and the power of the Heavenly Dao was also weakening.

Ling Xiao stared solemnly at the top of his head, where it seemed as if a giant eye was watching him.

The power of Heavenly Dao was weakening, as if it had truly succeeded, which made him feel that things had gone too smoothly.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. The once peaceful void suddenly trembled, and a chilling killing intent descended.

Silent and still, this was the backlash of Heavenly Dao's Dao. An invisible mark, radiant for a fleeting moment, shot into Ling Xiao's brow.

Ling Xiao's body trembled, as if ancient thunder was resounding. The small world contained in every drop of blood within his body was collapsing and rebuilding, its order was disordered, and his Dao foundation was about to collapse.

A surge of vital energy welled up, threatening to burst forth. Ling Xiao formed hand seals, his expressionless face suppressing the rampant injuries within his body.
