Whoosh!
The blue will-o'-the-wisp was unwilling to be completely devoured. The ghost face shattered within it, and the will-o'-the-wisp that had been hovering over the soul suddenly surged, like a patch of psoriasis, about to cover Xu Long's soul in an instant. Xu Long was secretly delighted to see the blue will-o'-the-wisp separate on its own.
This is the moment we've been waiting for!
The concentrated ghostly fire possessed a dense, chilling power, which Xu Long dared not forcefully erode. However, the demon spirit, for some unknown reason, seemed overconfident and did not attempt to devour Xu Long directly before he was ready to solidify his soul.
Instead, now that Xu Long has become a force to be reckoned with and has seen through his secrets, and they want to gather him together to defeat him one by one, he automatically separates again. This is practically Wuxian cooperation with Xu Long!
Seeing a wisp of will-o'-the-wisp scattering in his mind, Xu Long no longer hesitated. His solidified soul completely enveloped the blue will-o'-the-wisp. The ghostly face residing within it suddenly sensed something was wrong. Was this overwhelming soul power still the same Xu Long from before?
The only response he received was a powerful and extremely solid soul force that instantly covered the blue ghost fire. Before it could even devour it, an extremely cold flame and an extremely mournful resentment broke through Xu Long's soul in an instant.
Countless resentful and terrifying faces invaded Xu Long's Dao Heart in an instant, while that chilling power seemed to come from the abyss beneath the earth, or perhaps from the most filthy evil thoughts in the hearts of people in the world.
This is the accumulated evil resentment of the demon spirit throughout its life. Although Xu Long has completely covered the demon spirit's ghost fire, if this situation is not handled properly, the current situation will be reversed in an instant.
Did the demon spirit covered in the flames intentionally or unintentionally disperse its ghostly fire, allowing Xu Long to cover it?
"Gaga gaga gaga..."
A series of cries and laughter exploded in Xu Long's soul. At this moment, his body looked like a walking corpse puppet, with a blank stare and stiff limbs, but his mind was in complete turmoil.
The demon's final counterattack had begun. Xu Long braced himself and did his best to deal with it. None of the scattered ghostly flames managed to penetrate the soul's coverage, while the soul accepted all the intrusion of resentment and chilling power.
Because of his strong will and steadfast Dao Heart, Xu Long was not afraid of any evil forces trying to take over. If his Dao Heart was still so fragile after experiencing so many trials, then he might as well give up on cultivation altogether!
"What!"
The blue flames covering the area gradually thinned, and the demon spirit within couldn't help but feel a sense of shock, knowing that it had begun to devour the solid souls and profound cultivation levels of countless powerful cultivators.
Who exactly is this guy?!
How could he possibly turn around and devour my soul!
Before the doubts could dissipate, I felt a sharp pain, a tearing, oppressive pain that made my soul tremble.
Xu Long's solidified soul had already enveloped him heavily. He felt his consciousness growing weaker and weaker, while the power enveloping him grew stronger and stronger. The demon spirit was unwilling to give up. It directly brought a wisp of flame and rushed into the depths of Xu Long's soul. This step was its last struggle.
He was sacrificing a large amount of soul energy to deliver a fatal blow, and success or failure hinged on this moment. However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Long hadn't set up any defenses in his soul at all. The demonic spirit, carrying a wisp of flame, rushed into the depths of Xu Long's soul without any hindrance.
"Gagaga!"
A voice that sounded like both crying and laughing exploded deep within Xu Long's soul. The demon spirit was laughing triumphantly. It thought Xu Long was so capable, but it turned out that it was all because of his carelessness that the demon spirit invaded the center of his soul.
And if I can devour the core of the soul again, the final victory will be mine!
Anticipating this, the demon spirit laughed even more wildly, as if he could already see himself about to turn the tide, completely devour the careless Xu Long, and plant secret techniques on all those cultivators who dared to resist him.
He made Xu Long suffer in front of him, unable to live or die, and then extracted a wisp of Xu Long's soul, roasting it day and night under the blue flames, causing him to suffer torment without ever being able to be reborn.
Anticipating this, he became even more arrogant, his ghostly face revealing an uncontrollable ferocious expression. With a change of heart, and with a ferocious look, he directly threw himself into Xu Long's soul core.
But after entering the core of the soul, the blue ghost fire suddenly paused, its ferocity and pleasure still frozen on its face.
A vast and boundless universe, unpredictable divine punishment, a treacherous path, an endless ocean, mysterious and ancient array diagrams, a supremely majestic small world, an endless dark spatial barrier, an ancient and desolate void, countless shattered fragments of the world, and nine stars that he dared not open his eyes to gaze upon...
All of that was but a drop in the ocean of Xu Long's memory. They all represented Xu Long Xu Long's journey on the path of the Great Dao, his arduous cultivation, and all of Xu Long's secrets.
He even displayed himself to the demon spirit without any concealment, and these scenes, like slideshows, shocked the demon spirit.
He felt that if he were to randomly enter any of the scenes, he would be instantly destroyed, but Xu Long was not. Everything in it was the great path that Xu Long had truly walked and the path of cultivation he had taken!
The demon spirit entered Xu Long's soul core, but what it saw was a completely different scene. At this moment, it finally understood why Xu Long was not afraid of its resentment and the erosion of its cold power.
After all that has happened, you can't expect him to be afraid of you.
The strength to conquer heaven and earth always comes from experience!
The indomitable spirit of the strong comes from the past!
The unwavering belief of the strong stems from their own strength!
The gaze of the strong, looking down upon the heavens, comes from the distant Dao!
Xu Long has seen a lot along the way, so he doesn't need to hide anything from the demon spirits, nor does he need to hide anything from his own heart!
The demon spirit made him realize that he should confront his past, and that a stable mind and a firm Dao Heart are the best weapons when facing the demon spirit's intrusion!
Looking back at the past, frame by frame like a slideshow, a trace of confusion flashed in the demon spirit's eyes.
He can no longer remember his original appearance. After devouring countless souls, he tirelessly possesses and changes bodies, but what did his original soul look like?
At this moment, the demon's most powerful soul attack seemed to have met its greatest opponent, and the methods he was so proud of had now become his greatest weakness.
After learning about Xu Long's experiences, he no longer had any desire to compete with him. Xu Long did not try to drive him away, nor did he try to confuse him.
After devouring all the souls on the periphery, it focused its attention on the last remaining wisp of will-o'-the-wisp. At this moment, the demon spirit was lost in its own world, completely lost amidst Xu Long's various memories.
He knew he could never match a true powerhouse.
boom!
A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and before he could dodge, the light traced a path, carrying a powerful will, and crashed into the wisp of ghostly fire.
The demon spirit took one last look at the vast world within Xu Long's soul core. When it withdrew its gaze, it only saw a figure flash in its original spot, but could not make out the face of the newcomer.
Only in his gradually fading gaze could one see a strange, blood-red lip!
"My Lord, how is it? Protector Mo's injuries have been examined!"
"Hehe, Alliance Leader, rest assured, Chishi Chishi has a general understanding of Protector Mo's condition and has made preliminary arrangements. After emerging from Chi You Blood Cave, Chishi is willing to continue healing Protector Mo!"
"Haha, good! Thank you for your trouble, God!"
Looking at Xu Long, whose eyes were slightly dazed, Youquan spoke to the Divine Lord Chishi beside him with a deep gaze. After hearing the Divine Lord Chishi's reply, he withdrew his gaze, as if Xu Long could no longer garner any attention from him.
The surrounding crowd was quite moved by the scene, and their eyes showed a hint of fear towards the figure withered human skin. Only Qingluan Protector Luan at the back of the crowd, exchanged bewildered glances and then revealed a strange expression on his face.
At this moment, after replying to Youquan's words Divine Lord Chishi also looked at Xu Long with a deep gaze.
The invasion of Xu Long's mind has been complete in just two breaths, but no one else knows what changes have occurred in those two breaths!
The mountain range beneath our feet has fractured, the deep cracks seeming deliberately laid out. The earth trembles more and more noticeably, and the ancient aura grows stronger and stronger.
Everyone stared excitedly at the center of the ancient battlefield. The flashing light indicated that the Yellow Emperor Seal was still incredibly strong. Now, it was only a matter of seeing the effectiveness of the seal-breaking formation!
Everyone looked up at the sky, where the automatically dispersing clouds stretched straight to the horizon, as if connecting to something in the distant Milky Way.
After a surge of primal power was applied, a majestic aura was unleashed from heaven and earth, and a powerful pressure emanated from the clouds beyond the nine heavens.
The oppressive aura contained immense energy, as if drawn from the galaxy, all poured into an extremely precise array.
Everyone stared intently at the energy fluctuations, holding their breath for the people in the sky, until the surging energy was completely absorbed.
As that primordial power merged into the formation, the sky shone brightly, as if two suns had been born!
Endless energy emerged in a regular pattern, and countless runes appeared in the sky, as if awakening a giant beast from a savage era, roaring and venting the rage from billions of years ago!
After the energy stabilized, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sky, startling everyone present.
The moment the tiny black dot appeared in the sky, an aura that moved heaven and earth was immediately revealed. A small aura, yet it stirred the heavens and earth.
As the black dot descended, everyone could see it more clearly. This black dot grew larger in the air as it faced the wind, carrying endless energy as it spread out in all directions.
A sudden, overwhelming aura burst forth, and the black dot in the sky, which had been rotating clockwise, split into nine dots in an instant. Each of the nine dots formed a circle, spreading out in an arc in the air and then descending counterclockwise.
The closer it gets to the ground during its descent, the greater its power becomes, and the more intense the tremors on the ground become.
Two black dots descended into the air before it became clear that they were eighteen array flags. The oppressive aura emanating from the flags seemed to make it hard to breathe, and the fluttering banners appeared to cover the sky.
The nine outer array flags rotate clockwise, causing the nine inner array flags to rotate counterclockwise. As the two forces combine, two distinct energies emerge within them.
The flowing runes within maintained an extremely delicate balance, carrying immense energy, while the surrounding banners each gathered their own energy.
As they were about to land, the eighteen array flags expanded their range. As the range of the array flags expanded, two powerful energies flowed within them, and the energy, like surging rivers and seas, instantly descended upon the earth.
At this moment, cracks had appeared beneath everyone's feet, the bottomless fissures seemingly leading straight to the deepest hell.
After the array flags spun, they fell straight into the crevice in the ground. By this time, the tremors on the ground had gradually subsided, and the combined energy between the array flags gathered together.
A gaze from the sky stared at the ground, its eyes as deep and unfathomable as a still spring, as if no one could ever glean any information from them.
Watching the battle flags being buried deep in the ground, Hong Gu let out a deep breath. After days of sleepless nights, she finally felt relieved. Her small, thin body looked even more fragile. Looking at the excited crowd below, a glint of wisdom flashed in her eyes.
"Hahaha, thank you for your help Lady Hong! Once our Blood Alliance cultivators emerge from Chi You Blood Cave, the Jade Pivot Sect will immediately be restored to its former glory, flourishing for eternity!"
As the seal on the ancient battlefield slowly opened, the surge of energy from an unknown source after the array flags were planted in the ground caused the originally solid seal to dim under the impact and infusion of energy.
The words Youquan spoke at this moment seemed to carry a hint of sincerity, but the promises he made remained as modern as ever:
When I have money, I'll do this and that...
"Good news from Fellow Daoist Hong Gu Youquan You Quan!"
The ethereal voice from the sky carried a hint of lingering weariness, and then the figure nodded slightly in farewell.
Now that the formation is complete, Youquan and his group are eager to enter it and will not hinder Hong Gu from leaving or staying.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the formation and the seal in the center of the ancient battlefield, and no one noticed the profound meaning in those eyes.
Boom, boom, boom!
Thunderous and lightning-like sounds reverberated across the land. At this moment, the seal of the ancient battlefield was fully revealed. After the surging energy was poured in, the soil and dust that had accumulated over hundreds of millions of years were all dispersed, and the stench of decay and ancient traces rushed towards us in an instant.
From a distant past, a primitive era, a fragmented age, and a world of vicissitudes, all of that has reappeared in the world after being buried deep underground for billions of years!
As the two energies of the formation continued to pour in and impact, the seal was fully revealed to everyone. However, as expected of the great Yellow Emperor, the seal remained completely unmoved under the formation of Hong Gu of the Jade Pivot Sect!
