"In the next stage, those rune arrays will summon an army of insects, but your companions will handle those."
"We have something extremely important to do now."
The Spell Spirit's voice rang out.
Shen Ye stood on the enormous finger, watching the fingers slowly arrange themselves into strange configurations.
The ten mountain-like fingers held still.
The Spell Seal was complete.
Power as vast as the sea, like the universe at its birth, unleashed tides of source power that swept through everything.
And all those tides flowed into Shen Ye's back.
Long, thin lines gradually appeared on his body, slowly growing as they began to bind the Insect Race's runes.
"The core of the Fate Seal is descending upon you."
"-If the Emperor Species can't find the seal's core, it can't break through the seal completely!"
Shen Ye listened attentively and asked, "So we need time-"
"Exactly!" the Spell Spirit interjected. "We need the core of the Fate Seal to finish descending upon you!"
The Spell Spirit's voice grew increasingly urgent.
"We still need a little time to finish this Art-wait, what's your relationship with that strongest man?"
"The strongest? You mean the first person I contacted?"
"Yes."
"He's my teacher!"
"Good, then I won't stop him-he's already discovered this place-he's here!"
As its voice faded.
A capable-looking man wearing a black baseball cap landed.
With a cigarette between his lips, he looked at Shen Ye, then at all the light surrounding Shen Ye's body.
Xu Xingke!
Shen Ye was about to speak when a sharp pain suddenly wracked his entire body.
He lowered his head for a closer look and saw the long sealing lines gathering toward his chest along his limbs, cutting through his skin as they went and drawing blood.
-The descent had reached its most critical moment!
