254: Purify the eerie atmosphere and seal the nodes!

Although the Primal Ancestor's Primordial Spirit had lost its Physical Body, it still survived.

Floating in the Void Realm, he looked at the expanding otherworldly passage, a venomous and gratified smile appearing on his face. "The gates to the Otherworld have opened; you're coming to the grave with me!"

He clearly sensed that as the node connected, waves of nauseating, weird substances were spreading frantically.

Those substances carried the power to corrode all life, capable of polluting even the Laws of a Void Immortal.

Several terrifying Auras were rapidly approaching from the other end of the passage.

Those were the experts of the Otherworld!

"Noisy."

Lu Yuan gave a cold snort, completely ignoring the so-called otherworldly army.

He raised his hand and beckoned, and the immortal execution platform emerged once more.

"Collect!"

A terrifying suction force targeted at the Divine Soul erupted.

"No—!!!"

The Primal Ancestor's laughter came to an abrupt halt, turning into a scream of terror.

His Primordial Spirit was utterly unable to resist the power of the immortal execution platform and was forcibly drawn inside, becoming the second prisoner after the Great Evolution Ancestor.

At this point, both Void Immortal Ancestors who had plotted against the Yaochi Holy Mother had fallen.

But the crisis had not been resolved.

"Not good! The otherworldly node is open!"

The Yaochi Holy Mother's face was pale as she watched the billowing weird black mist, her eyes full of worry. "These weird substances are the natural enemy of Void Immortal power. Once they spread, the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains will be devastated and turned into ruins!"

"If these substances cannot be purified, the node cannot be resealed!"

Although she was a Void Immortal, she felt helpless against this weird substance that specifically countered immortal power.

"Purify?"

Lu Yuan looked at the churning black mist, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "What a coincidence, I just happen to have a means to counter weird substances."

He extended his hand and flipped his palm upward.

Whoosh—

A platinum-colored flame appeared out of thin air.

World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame!

As soon as this flame appeared, the surrounding Void Realm distorted slightly, as if the space itself was about to be burned through.

It radiated an Aura that was holy, domineering, and capable of purifying everything.

"Go."

Lu Yuan gave a light flick.

The World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame instantly transformed into a towering sea of fire, sweeping toward the rolling otherworldly black mist.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!!!

Two completely different powers collided, making a grating corrosive sound.

But in just an instant, that seemingly terrifying weird substance, which could even pollute the Laws of a Void Immortal, rapidly melted and was purified before the World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame, like snow meeting a blazing sun.

The black mist receded, and light reappeared.

The ruins of the Nine Nether Demon Cave, originally thick with Devilish Qi, were transformed into a sacred pure land under the baptism of the flame, and even the air became fresh.

"This... what kind of flame is this? To possess such Divine Might?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

She could feel that the purification power contained within that flame even transcended the scope of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"Don't just stand there, Seal the node," Lu Yuan reminded her.

The Yaochi Holy Mother snapped out of it and no longer hesitated.

Enduring the injuries within her body, she formed hand Seals, mobilizing all her Void Immortal magic power.

"Great Sealing Technique, rise!"

Beams of brilliant Holy Light flew out from her body, transforming into countless golden runes that wove into a massive sealing net, covering the otherworldly passage.

At the same time, she brought out a five-colored stone radiating a heavy Aura—the World-Suppressing Stone.

This item was the core of the Seal, possessing the divine effect of suppressing world boundaries.

Buzz—

As the World-Suppressing Stone merged into the net, the spatial rift that was still expanding began to slowly close.

It looked as if success was imminent.

Suddenly.

Boom!

From deep within the otherworldly passage, a muffled, thunderous sound echoed.

An Aura more terrifying than any before it rapidly approached from the other end of the passage.

That Aura was so strong it even surpassed ordinary Void Immortals, reaching the level of the Void Immortal Peak!

"Damned human ants! You dare to obstruct my realm's descent?!"

Accompanied by a furious roar, a giant, sky-covering palm covered in dark red scales and with nails as sharp as scimitars suddenly thrust out from the passage.

This palm was so large it seemed capable of blotting out the entire sky.

It was wreathed in a Law of Destruction that inspired despair; wherever it passed, the Void Realm shattered and time became disordered.

The newly formed sealing net appeared so fragile before this giant palm, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Not good! It's an Otherworld Demon Venerable!" The Yaochi Holy Mother's expression changed drastically as a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.

In her current state, she couldn't possibly block this strike.

"Hmph, you dare act so fiercely across the world boundary?"

Lu Yuan's expression was indifferent as he stepped forward, shielding the Yaochi Holy Mother.

The three hundred million dragon-elephant particles within his body vibrated in unison, letting out deafening roars.

"Heavenly God Fist!"

Lu Yuan threw a punch.

Vast holy brilliance gathered on his knuckles, connecting to the great power of the Ancient Paradise. With an invincible Aura that judged and suppressed everything, it slammed hard into that sky-covering giant palm.

Boom—!!!

Fist and palm collided.

Terrifying energy fluctuations swept in all directions, causing even the recently purified Nine Nether Demon Cave to tremble under this force.

Crack!

That seemingly invincible sky-covering giant palm actually shuddered violently under the impact of the Heavenly God Fist. Then, a massive wound split open in the center of the palm, and demonic blood poured down like a waterfall.

"Ah!"

A muffled groan of pain came from the other end of the passage, carrying deep shock and disbelief. "How is this possible?! When did the Human Race produce such an expert?!"

The injured giant palm snapped back into the passage like it had received an electric shock.

Taking this opportunity, the Yaochi Holy Mother used her final breath to push the Great Sealing Technique to its limit.

"Seal!"

Buzz!

The World-Suppressing Stone erupted with light, completely filling that massive hole.

The spatial rift slowly healed and eventually disappeared entirely, leaving behind only a smooth expanse of the Void Realm.

The otherworldly node was successfully sealed!

Phew...

Having finished all this, the Yaochi Holy Mother's tense nerves finally relaxed.

But following that was a tidal wave of weakness and intense pain.

She was already suffering from the curse of the seven arrows book of nailing heads, and both her Primordial Spirit and Physical Body were heavily injured.

Having just forced herself to perform the Great Sealing Technique and overdrawing her Origin, she could no longer hold on.

Poof!

She spat out a mouthful of black blood, her vision went dark, and her delicate body went limp, falling backward.

Just as she was about to fall, Lu Yuan was quick to react. His figure blurred as he reached out and caught that slender waist, pulling this peerless beauty of the Void Immortal Realm into his arms.

"Are you alright?"

Lu Yuan's gentle voice sounded in her ear.

Leaning against Lu Yuan's solid chest and feeling his scent, a strange flush appeared on the Yaochi Holy Mother's pale face, and a hint of unprecedented weakness and dependence flashed in her eyes.

"Many... many thanks, Fellow Daoist Lu," she said weakly, her voice carrying a bit of bashfulness and gratitude.

Lu Yuan looked at the pale-faced, weak Yaochi Holy Mother in his arms, his brow furrowing slightly.

"It seems the curse of the seven arrows book of nailing heads is more troublesome than imagined."
