Seal? What a Good Thing!

"Arrogant!"

Hearing Xia Liang's words, Titan immediately flew into a rage. Dark golden light surged over his fist. This human truly did not know what was good for him!

"Save your strength for talking."

Niu Tian reached out to stop Titan, his gaze settling on Xia Liang.

At this moment, Xia Liang's body was covered in runes, and his limbs had been pierced through as well. Niu Tian shook his head. He could now sense that both the power within Xia Liang and his physical strength had been completely sealed. He could not possibly stir up any trouble.

"Sealing the body, sealing the power... and then?"

Niu Tian frowned slightly.

They had already come this far, and he could still talk like that?

Indeed, Xia Liang's body and internal power were now sealed so tightly that he could not move at all.

But at the same time, the seal had increased the capacity of this projection. In other words, Xia Liang could do many things here.

For example? Increase the intensity of the projection?

"Big Brother!"

Titan sensed that something was wrong and looked around. The entire Clear Sky Sect was wrapped in an unknown force. It was not strong, but its fluctuations gave him chills. He felt as though something was changing his body.

This feels a little strange...

Xia Liang lowered his eyes in confusion. His mind began to assess his current situation. However, when his gaze touched the ground, an inexplicable power descended upon it. The uneven grassland began to mutate. For instance, a once-rounded stone slowly turned square, and the edges of the patterns on its surface became sharper.

Wherever his gaze fell, everything began to change.

"What exactly is this? A domain?!"

Sensing this power, Niu Tian looked at Xia Liang in shock. What terrified him was that Xia Liang's originally normal round pupils had turned square—pure white squares, without the slightest luster of life.

"Go!"

Niu Tian spoke at once. Without the slightest hesitation, he and Titan rapidly flew toward the ground. Whether this was a domain or something else, they had to get away from Xia Liang. Otherwise, they would truly die.

"S-Sect Master, what... what happened?"

One of the Clear Sky Sect's experts trembled all over. An inexplicable terror had arisen in his heart. It was not merely fear—he could feel some strange change occurring inside his body.

"We leave this place immediately."

Niu Tian made the decision without hesitation. There was no need for further thought. If they remained here, the consequence would certainly be death.

"Third Elder!"

A Clear Sky Sect expert beside them suddenly shouted.

The Third Elder stood where he was, his body visibly breaking apart and reforming.

His arm turned into a pillar composed of several stacked blocks. Distinct angles appeared where his shoulders connected to his neck. His facial features remained, but they looked like a pixelated image—blurred and stiff.

All life force had vanished from his body. Not a trace of life fluctuation could be found.

"What's going on? Didn't we already leave the range?"

Niu Tian's heart jolted. They had clearly moved far beyond the range of Xia Liang's domain, and that chilling sensation had already disappeared. How could someone still be affected from this distance? He instinctively turned toward Xia Liang, wanting to confirm just how far the other party's range extended.

The moment Niu Tian looked at Xia Liang, that chilling sensation appeared again.

"!"

Niu Tian abruptly withdrew his gaze, a layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"Don't look at him! Leave the Clear Sky Sect immediately!"

Niu Tian instantly realized that even after leaving the range of Xia Liang's domain, merely looking at Xia Liang would still cause one to be affected by it.

"Sect Master, it's too late..." someone said quietly.

Hearing this, Niu Tian looked around. Other than himself and Titan, everyone's gazes were fixed in Xia Liang's direction. Block-like outlines had begun to emerge over their bodies, eroding from the edges toward the center, as though some invisible force were dismantling and reconstructing them block by block.

"Titan, let's go!"

Niu Tian did not care whether these people could be saved. He directly took Titan and left. They were only mortals. As long as he lived, he could have as many of such things as he wanted. Only staying alive truly mattered.

"What's over there?"

Xia Liang was still thinking. He felt that his thoughts were moving more slowly than usual, as if his brain were processing too much information at once. He lowered his head to look at those below who were turning into blocks, then looked at the two figures flying rapidly into the distance.

What is that?

At this moment, Niu Tian and Titan, who were fleeing at top speed, sensed that something was wrong. That feeling had appeared again.

When Titan raised his head, he met Xia Liang's gaze.

"Second Brother!"

In almost an instant, Niu Tian saw blocks appear all over Titan's body. At the same time, Titan's life force had vanished...

"Damn it!"

Titan definitely would not truly die. Their origins remained with Tang San, and even if they died, they could be revived. But watching his brother die inexplicably before his own eyes still filled Niu Tian's heart with pain.

I will avenge you.

Unfortunately, Xia Liang's gaze had included him as well.

Dead?

Xia Liang finally came back to his senses and withdrew some of the power he had poured into the projection. The chaotic sensation, the feeling that his thoughts had slowed, also faded away.

"What happened?"

With a light movement from Xia Liang, the chains around him snapped apart. The runes, however, remained on his body, suppressing the energy within him. Naturally, Xia Liang had deliberately left them there.

Rubbing his brow, Xia Liang finally recalled what had just happened.

It seemed that the projection had been too intense, and too many things had been projected over. He had failed to control it properly all at once.

Xia Liang remembered that his state just now had been very wrong. He had clearly only considered two questions, so why had so much time passed? And what was going on over here?

Was this some kind of Minecraft cosplay?

Xia Liang looked down. The land below had become similar to the terrain in Minecraft, and so had the stones and trees. Their sizes were vastly different, but overall, they looked very much alike. But what were those people around him? Block people?

The Clear Sky Sect experts were covered in blocks as though they had fallen ill. They looked extremely terrifying.

At the same time, Xia Liang sensed that some of Minecraft's power had leaked into the surrounding reality. The terrain and people of the Clear Sky Sect must have been affected by it, and that power was continuously devouring Douluo Continent.

"Return."

Xia Liang lightly waved his hand. He did not want Douluo Continent to become a Minecraft scene as well. He was nearly sick of looking at blocks. He was genuinely triggered by them.

After finally seeing normal scenery outside, Xia Liang did not want Minecraft to assimilate Douluo Continent.

The leaked power turned into thin white strands that were drawn out from the ground, tree roots, walls, and human bodies. They gathered in midair, eventually condensing into a small pure-white cube in his palm.

At the same time, the scenery below returned to its original appearance. The consciousnesses of those Clear Sky Sect experts returned to their bodies as well, but the power within them had been taken away along with the energy Xia Liang had extracted. The same was true for Niu Tian and Titan.

Everyone in the Clear Sky Sect collapsed to the ground in a severely injured coma, including Niu Tian and Titan.

It could be said that if Xia Liang had not retrieved those annoying pixels just now, the entire Clear Sky Sect would have been destroyed.

But things were not much better now. Xia Liang had destroyed the Clear Sky Sect's mountain peak.

"It seems these guys' souls were torn over too? Forget it. Dead is dead."

Xia Liang indifferently shook his head, then suddenly looked in a certain direction. On a small path at the side of the Clear Sky Sect, a pink-and-blue figure was moving rapidly. That person's steps were light, as though rushing somewhere, yet also as though avoiding something. Their speed was extremely fast, like a butterfly flitting through the shadows of the trees.

"A runaway princess? Forget it, I should head back first."

This trip to the Clear Sky Sect had brought Xia Liang quite a few gains, such as seals.

Tang San's seal was indeed very powerful. It had directly sealed both Xia Liang's power and physical body. If Niu Tian and Titan had wanted to kill Xia Liang just now, they could have done so, but... this was a projection.

Yet it was precisely because the seal was so powerful that it reinforced the projection's ability to bear power, allowing him to inject more power into it. But because of the seal, Xia Liang would become a glass cannon with high offense and low defense. But... this was a projection.

Even if the projection blew up, it would not matter. Xia Liang could completely use projections like firecrackers, and they would be quite powerful.

Just like before—Xia Liang had injected too much power into the projection, causing something to go wrong with this space. Minecraft's power entered this area and assimilated the surroundings.

Of course, there was still a small problem.

Xia Liang landed on the ground and looked around. His spatial power had been sealed, so he needed to call a ride.

Very soon, Xia Liang's main body summoned Projection Number Two. Using Projection Number One's location, it arrived within the Clear Sky Sect's territory.

"I'll come here to play again next time."

Xia Liang threw down an Ender Pearl. Next time, he could come here himself without needing anyone else to bring him.

Then Xia Liang left with Projection Number One. He needed to study it carefully and see whether there was a suitable seal that would let him inject more power here without weakening his strength.

There were still limits, but it was far roomier than before.

At this moment, at the exit of the Clear Sky Sect's small path.

"Hmph, did they think such a tiny obstacle could stop me? By now, Yuhao should already be heading to the tournament, right? I'll go wait for him in Star Luo City."
