103: The Four Saints joined forces

"Action!" Sage Xuan Ji flicked his horsetail whisk and was the first to strike! Countless mysterious silver runes flew out from his whisk, transforming into a massive array diagram that blotted out the sky, enveloping the largest spatial rift!

The array diagram rotated, evolving the Yin and Yang and Five Elements, and the cycle of life, death, and Reincarnation, attempting to stabilize that violent space and isolate the infiltration of Nether Qi.

"Eternal Ice Seal!" Grand Sage Han Li slammed her scepter heavily into the Void Realm! A terrifying aura of absolute cold erupted instantly; it did not freeze physical objects, but rather froze the Laws themselves!

The thick, gushing Nether Qi and the writhing spatial fragments at the edge of the rift were instantly covered in a thick layer of profound ice shimmering with a faint blue luster! The giant claw's movement suddenly stalled!

"Get the hell back!" Grand Sage Long Zhan roared, his entire body turning into a streak of dark golden light. Like a humanoid Tyrant Dragon, he crashed directly into the giant Nether claw that had been slowed by the profound ice!

Upon his fists, dragon shadows coiled, and the Law of Strength condensed to the extreme as he slammed them ruthlessly into the scales of the giant claw!

Dong—!!!

It was like a divine hammer striking a heavenly drum! A dull explosion loud enough to shatter mountains erupted! Space collapsed in large areas like a broken mirror! The black scales covering the giant Nether claw shattered instantly, revealing the writhing, foul-smelling rotting flesh beneath! The giant claw cried out in pain, letting out an even more furious roar before snapping back into the depths of the rift!

"Now is the time! Senior Sky Dome!" Sage Xuan Ji shouted.

"Starfall... Descent!" The soul fire in Sky Dome Old Man's eye sockets flared up, and the starlight chains wrapped around his body emitted a piercing hum!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three indescribably brilliant and destructive torrents of starlight, like spears of heavenly punishment, tore through the lead-gray sky of the Burial God Ancient Domain, striking the largest spatial rift with unerring precision!

The starlight did not contain simple energy, but the power of the core Laws of stars that had been forcibly extracted and condensed! It was filled with the mighty power of destruction, order, and purification!

Chiss-chiss-chiss—!

The starlight and Netherworld Death Qi collided and annihilated each other violently! It made a piercing sound like boiling oil being poured onto snow.

Under the bombardment of the starlight, the incredibly resilient spatial rift twisted and contracted violently, its edges being forcibly smelted and fused back together! Large swaths of the leaking Nether Qi were purified and dispersed!

"Seal!" The four great powerhouses shouted in unison!

Sage Xuan Ji's array diagram shone with brilliant silver light, turning into countless chains that wrapped around the rift! Grand Sage Han Li's profound ice spread, completely freezing the edges of the rift along with the escaping Netherworld Death Qi! Grand Sage Long Zhan's fist imprints turned into dark golden dragon-shaped Seals, branding the Void Realm and reinforcing the strength of the Seal!

Meanwhile, Sky Dome Old Man's starlight acted like the hottest furnace, continuously burning and purifying the residual Nether aura, and forcibly repairing the shattered spatial Laws!

The four vast and boundless powers intertwined, forming a massive Seal composed of Law runes, profound ice chains, dragon-shaped marks, and a starlight web, firmly covering the damaged passage.

The viscous Nether Qi was blocked tight, and the rift shrank and fused at a speed visible to the naked eye. Eventually, only a tiny, twisting black crack remained, like a venomous snake pinned to the Void Realm, no longer able to cause any major trouble.

That heart-palpitating aura of the giant Nether claw was also completely isolated on the outside.

In the Burial God Ancient Domain, the rampaging Netherworld Death Qi lost its source and began to slowly dissipate. The maddening resentment and Evil Qi also seemed to calm down somewhat.

In the world, only the terrifying energy aftershocks from the combined Seal of the four powerhouses remained vibrating, along with the heavy breathing and suppressed weeping of the countless survivors below who had escaped death.

The Seal laid down by the four powerhouses was like a giant web of Laws, firmly covering the forcibly fused Nether crack.

The silver array patterns, the deep blue profound ice, the dark golden dragon Seals, and the brilliant star web intertwined and flickered, emitting a majestic power that suppressed all evil.

The Netherworld Death Qi and the storm of resentment and Evil Qi permeating the air were completely suppressed, leaving only the coldness and emptiness of having survived a disaster.

Sky Dome Old Man's withered head turned toward the deeper parts of the battlefield. Sage Xuan Ji held his jade whisk, the Heavenly Eye pattern on his brow faintly appearing as he continuously calculated the remaining Karma.

Grand Sage Han Li tapped her ice crystal scepter lightly, and the frozen Law power spread out like a spiderweb to investigate the surroundings.

Grand Sage Long Zhan was like an alert Vicious Beast, his muscles covered in dark golden dragon scales bulging and tensed. His fists, filled with explosive power, were clenched tight as he sensed for any trace of remaining threat.

They did not relax just because the Seal was successful. This ancient battlefield, which had been silent for eons, must hide even greater secrets in its core area, perhaps even an ancient Legacy!

Grand Sage Han Li's cold gaze turned toward the shadowed land in the depths, guarded by giant skeletons; that place was the source of the resentment, Evil Qi, and Death Qi of the entire ancient battlefield.

"The core of this place seems to have... a strange spatial node. It is not of the Netherworld, yet it is equally ancient and obscure."

"Let us go and see!" Sage Xuan Ji made a prompt decision. The four transformed into four streaks of light, ignoring the panicked crowds fleeing below, and shot straight toward the core Forbidden Ground where space was most distorted, surrounded by countless giant skeletons.

The closer they got to the center, the more intense the tragic aura originating from the eternal battlefield became.

Fragments of broken divine weapons released an unwilling sharpness, and terrifying Law scars remained on the giant skeletons. The air seemed to be frozen with the silent screams of billions of lost souls.

Even beings like Sky Dome Old Man felt an invisible pressure, as if they were walking upon a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood from history.

Finally, they passed through the last natural gateway formed by the broken ribs of a giant beast that were as large as mountains.

The scene before them made even the four experienced powerhouses feel a chill in their hearts!

This was not the ruins or altar they had expected.

This was a massive, relatively intact circular plaza. The ground was paved with an unknown metal that was as dark as blood yet incredibly hard, covered in dense, ancient runes that had long lost their luster, emitting an aura of vicissitude and decay.

In the center of the plaza stood a dilapidated black stone tablet. The tablet was not a physical entity, but was formed from the purest and most viscous resentment, Evil Qi, unwilling Battle Intent, and... a trace of imperceptible divine fragments, which had settled, twisted, and undergone Fusion over eons of time!

The stone tablet was a hundred zhang tall, its form twisting and unstable.

There was no writing on its surface, only relief sculptures of faces in extreme agony that appeared and disappeared, letting out silent shrieks.

An indescribable, suffocatingly massive will was radiating from this stone tablet!

This will was chaotic, violent, and filled with the madness of destroying everything, yet at its very core, it strangely retained a weak but incredibly resilient... obsession belonging to the living!

It was as if a madman had been tortured by endless pain for billions of years, long since twisted and broken, yet still clutched onto the last straw, refusing to completely sink into oblivion!

"This is...!" Sage Xuan Ji's expression changed drastically. The silver light from his whisk flared up as he instantly laid down layers of defensive array runes in front of him! He felt that the terrifying power contained within that will far exceeded the Saint Domain Realm!

"Roar—!!!"
