Chapter 89 The Remains Break Through the Seal, the Heavenly Dao Awakens
They moved with incredible speed, covering dozens of miles in just a few breaths, and approached the core area of the sanctuary, which was shrouded in violent malevolent energy, with the earth collapsing and space extremely unstable.
Here, the foul and malevolent energy almost liquefies and flows through the air.
The ground was covered with eerie, pulsating dark red patterns that seemed to be alive.
A massive, dilapidated building, ancient and wild in style, constructed from unknown black boulders, is half-buried in the collapsed earth, with only its grotesque outline visible.
Above the ruins, a massive, constantly rotating spatial rift with foul black blood flowing from its edges—the very door that had been partially torn open earlier—was raging with ultimate darkness and chaos.
Outside the ruins, the pale golden light membrane, visible to the naked eye and woven from countless complex and profound Five Elements runes—the outer barrier of the Yin-Yang Great Five Elements Ancient Seal—though dim and damaged, still stubbornly exists, separating the inside from the outside.
Three boundary-breaking cones, accompanied by a piercing shriek, slammed into the three weakest points pre-set on the sealing light membrane!
"Pop—snap!"
The pale golden sealing light membrane flickered violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the three points that were hit, causing the light to dim rapidly.
"Now! Let's break it together!"
With a stern voice, he suddenly unleashed a burst of pale silver light behind him, which condensed into a giant blade of light and slashed fiercely at a crack!
Other cultivators also made their moves, unleashing powerful attacks of various attributes like a storm, bombarding those three points!
However, just as the sealing light membrane was about to collapse—
"Buzz!"
Twelve figures suddenly and silently floated out from the dilapidated gates of the ruins.
Their bodies were stiff, yet their movements were as fast as ghosts. They wore ancient, tattered priestly robes, and their faces were covered with masks of various colors and distorted patterns—indigo, crimson, pale white, dark yellow, dark green… They were the gatekeeper priests who had appeared before!
At this moment, they seemed to sense that the seal was about to be forcibly broken from the outside, and a faint light simultaneously shone from behind the twelve pairs of empty eye sockets.
Twelve ancient, stubborn, and inviolable auras rose up.
Instead of attacking the flying boat cultivators, they simultaneously raised their arms, aiming at the three seal nodes that were about to break, uttering hoarse, strange syllables that seemed to belong to this era.
A wave of energy originating from the same source as the seal emanated from them, attempting to mend the three cracks and reinforce the outer seal that was about to break!
"Huh? There are guards too?"
A short, stocky cultivator with a giant, earthen-yellow cauldron phantom floating behind him snorted coldly.
"These mere puppets dare to block our path? Send some men to deal with them! The rest of you, break the seal quickly!"
The command was executed swiftly.
Immediately, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators broke away from the main attack team and confronted the twelve gatekeeper priests. The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle.
The gatekeeper priests are unpredictable and work in perfect harmony, often managing to draw out the residual malevolent energy or the lingering power of the seal around the sanctuary, causing trouble for those who break the seal.
However, the Breakers outnumbered them, were individually stronger, and had more combat experience, so they quickly gained the upper hand.
The twelve priests were firmly suppressed, preventing them from interfering with the breaking of the seal.
Without any obstacles, the three sealing nodes finally reached their limit under the continuous onslaught of dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"break--!"
With several roars, the pale golden sealing light membrane shattered like broken glass!
It transformed into countless scattered specks of light, which were quickly swallowed up and annihilated by the dense, foul, and malevolent energy surrounding it.
The path leading into the interior of the sanctuary ruins is now fully open!
A more concentrated, darker, more chaotic torrent of filth, mixed with mad roars and disordered will, surged forth from the depths of the spatial rift and ruins!
Iron Face and his men showed no fear on their faces, but rather a hint of excitement at their successful plan.
"Proceed as planned! Instigate an internal shockwave to completely dismantle the core seal! Help that person escape!"
Iron Mask was the first to transform into a streak of silver light and rushed into the entrance of the ruins that was gushing with ultimate darkness without hesitation!
The other cultivators followed closely behind, leaving only a dozen or so to continue suppressing the gatekeeper priests and maintaining vigilance outside.
They ventured deep into that ancient prison to carry out the final and most dangerous step.
Time seemed to stretch out during the suffocating wait.
Those inside Luoxia Market could only see the light flashing intensely in the direction of the sanctuary from afar, with terrifying fluctuations growing stronger with each passing moment.
Occasionally, a huge black silhouette would flash by in the churning malevolent aura, accompanied by a chilling roar.
I don't know how much time passed; it felt like an eternity.
Sudden--
All sounds, all light, all fluctuations, came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
An eerie, deathly silence descended upon the world.
Even the restless beasts outside the market seemed to have been paused, frozen in place.
A primal, instinctive fear was revealed in his scarlet eyes.
Immediately afterwards...
"Thump!"
A sound, seemingly emanating from the heart of the world, resounded deeply within the soul of every living being!
"Crack... Rumble—!!!"
The enormous crater where the sanctuary ruins were located, along with the surrounding land for dozens of miles, collapsed and was completely annihilated, like a fragile eggshell!
A bottomless, dark abyss, seemingly leading to the deepest hell, replaced everything there!
Boundless darkness flowed from the abyss, swiftly devouring light, devouring malevolent energy, devouring everything!
A colossal shadow, whose form cannot be accurately described in any language, slowly rose from the abyss.
It seems to be an aggregate of all chaotic, distorted, devouring, and disordered concepts in the world.
It has no fixed shape, sometimes expanding like a dark cloud that blocks out the sun, and sometimes contracting into a writhing, dark core.
At times, countless wriggling, forked tendrils extend out, their ends resembling giant mouths or eyeballs...
Its mere existence and the oppressive aura it exuded caused the Golden Light Array of Luoxia Market, hundreds of miles away, to creak under the strain, and the light screen dimmed by several degrees in an instant!
Inside the market, Qi Refining cultivators were collapsing and unconscious in droves, and Foundation Establishment cultivators were all deathly pale, their souls feeling as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer!
The remnant body of an extraterrestrial demon!
After being suppressed for countless years, it finally broke free from the shackles of the ancient seal of Yin Yang and the Five Elements at this moment, and was revealed to the world!
And at the very moment that the remnant of the Heavenly Demon appeared in the world—
"Buzz...!"
A faint, ancient, vast, and majestic will, as if stimulated by this extreme chaos and evil, slowly awakened from a deep, ancient dream.
This will is not directed at anyone; it seems ignorant and weak, yet it carries an unquestionable sense of order and existence.
In the half-plane of Bing-749, the dormant will of Heaven was forcibly awakened at this critical moment of life and death!
Almost at the same time that the will of Heaven awakened and the remains of the Heavenly Demon appeared in the world—
Beyond the vast void of Plane C-749, the four towering figures, seemingly integrated with the void, simultaneously opened their eyes.
In the indifferent eyes of the Taoist in the green robe, the darkness that was expanding wildly within the dimensional barrier and the faint light of the Heavenly Dao that had just begun to ignite were reflected.
The red-haired old man slowly sat up from the crimson cloud, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.
The woman in white finally placed her fingertips lightly on the strings of the white jade zither, producing a clear and melodious single note.
The old farmer in the straw hat slightly raised his hat, and a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes, like a thunderclap.
The four people's gazes met in the void, but they remained silent.
However, the smiles that seemed to indicate that the plan had finally reached a crucial step flashed across their eyes in an instant.
The stage is set up, and the main character has taken the stage.
Perhaps this is the moment they have been waiting for.
