167: The sun and the moon shine together, suppressing for a thousand years
Su Lei resisted the mental erosion coming from all directions while condensing the last of his Protective Aura into threads, precisely injecting them into each dim rune.
The colorful Protective Aura flowed along the chains, like flickering stars in the night sky, and each illumination required all of his mental effort.
Fortunately, he had the forbidden chains left by Venerable Tianhe as a medium; otherwise, with his current Cultivation, it would have been impossible to complete such a large-scale Seal reinforcement.
Soon, Su Lei felt pulses emanating from the chains, as if they were resonating with him.
Time was infinitely stretched in this extreme pain.
The breathing of the crowd behind him became still.
The entire grotto was left with only the crisp clashing of chains and the unwilling roars of the Demonic Beast.
The crowd behind him held their breath, watching everything nervously.
Xiao Yuwei tried to step forward to help many times but was forced back by the clashing auras.
Who knows how long passed, perhaps a quarter of an hour, perhaps a century.
When the last rune was re-illuminated, a dazzling light rose like the morning sun.
With a heart-wrenching shriek, the scattered black mist was clutched by an invisible hand and forcibly pulled back into the Demonic Beast's body.
The originally pulsating blood vessels of the rock wall shriveled at a visible rate, eventually turning into ordinary stone patterns, and the grotto returned to silence.
"It's over..."
Su Lei's legs went soft, and he almost fell to the ground.
The next moment, two graceful figures rushed over, one on each side, to support him.
Meeting the worried gazes of Lin Qianqian and Xiao Yuwei, he nodded gently, forcing out his last bit of strength to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and look at the black throne not far away.
Venerable Tianhe's remains floated quietly in the air, his silver-white hair moving without wind.
This once majestic powerhouse was now just a dried husk, but his wrinkled face was surprisingly serene, with even a faint smile on his lips.
His hands, clasped across his chest, maintained a hand-Seal posture, as if still guarding something.
All the events that happened in that Small World constantly flashed through his mind.
Su Lei silently clenched his fists, an unspeakable complex emotion surging in his heart.
"Venerable... I did it."
His voice was hoarse beyond recognition, yet every word was firm and resolute.
His gaze was also more determined than ever.
"I swear, I will definitely save humanity and break this damned Cycle of Reincarnation!"
As soon as his voice fell, a faint blue light point slowly floated out from Venerable Tianhe's remains.
The light was pure and warm, like a firefly on a summer night, swaying in the darkness as it flew towards him.
"This is..."
Su Lei suddenly remembered Hong Tian Venerable's dying words—they, as brothers, Cultivated the same Cultivation Technique and possessed similar Soul Origins!
Could the wisp of Hong Tian Venerable's remnant Soul in his Sea of Consciousness have awakened Venerable Tianhe's dormant consciousness?
Su Lei instinctively slowly extended his right hand, his fingertips gently touching Venerable Tianhe's remains.
At the moment of contact, more blue light points emerged from the remains, dazzling like a galaxy.
These light points, as if summoned, wove into brilliant trajectories in the air and all merged into his glabella.
An ethereal chanting suddenly echoed in the grotto, and the suspended blue light points reflected on the rock walls, dyeing the entire space a dreamy azure.
Just as all the blue light points merged into Su Lei's glabella, the ancient bronze bell suddenly trembled, emitting an unprecedentedly crisp chime.
The cracks on the bell's body healed rapidly at a visible speed, and the ancient patterns regained their luster, as if awakened by some supreme power.
"Dong—!"
The bell's sound was distant, like an echo spanning eons, reverberating throughout the entire grotto.
Everyone's minds were shaken, as if their Souls were cleansed by the bell's sound.
And in Su Lei's Sea of Consciousness Small World, those blue light points did not dissipate; instead, they condensed in the Void Realm, eventually forming a miniature sun, suspended in the sky.
It was not scorching but emitted a warm and eternal radiance, complementing the originally high-hanging moon.
Day and night, light and darkness, for the first time formed a balance in his Small World.
Although the two celestial bodies were still tiny, they allowed this silent world to truly have the alternation of day and night.
Soft light poured down, as if nurturing some kind of vitality.
Outside, Xiao Yuwei and the others only saw Su Lei suddenly radiate a dazzling blue light.
A vast aura, like the starry sky, emanated from him.
The pressure was not intentionally released, yet it made everyone's knees go weak, causing them to involuntarily prostrate on the ground, making it difficult even to look up.
"This... what kind of power is this?!" Someone stammered, their voice filled with awe.
Even more bizarrely, all the precise instruments malfunctioned, their screens frantically displaying strings of garbled code, as if interfered with by some power beyond technology.
Xiao Yuwei barely managed to look up, her pupils contracting violently.
Su Lei's robes moved without wind, faint starlight swirling around him, making him appear like a deity who had walked out of ancient times.
And when the light finally dissipated, Su Lei slowly opened his eyes.
In the depths of his eyes, an entire galaxy seemed to flow!
In just an instant, the phenomenon disappeared, and Su Lei's aura retracted, returning to his usual appearance.
After experiencing the Demonic Beast's mental erosion and the nourishment of the two Venerables' Divine Souls, his Soul strength was already far beyond what it once was.
He was only one step away from becoming a Divine Soul Great Grandmaster!
"Not enough..."
Su Lei murmured, the starlight in his eyes surging.
His hands continuously formed profound Law Seals.
With each hand Seal, the ancient runes on the chains lit up with a dazzling blue light.
These runes were not static but moved like living creatures on the surface of the chains, weaving into a vast net.
The ancient bronze bell in the Sea of Consciousness Small World boomed.
"Seal!"
Su Lei let out a soft cry, his voice not loud, but seemingly containing some Law of Heaven and Earth.
The eight chains instantly straightened, emitting a grating metallic friction sound, and the runes on the chains glowed brightly, illuminating the entire grotto as if it were daytime... For the next two days, the engineering team was urgently working on the periphery.
Dozens of pieces of equipment operated at full speed, spraying out a special superalloy solution.
These solutions condensed in the air into complex structures, forming a spherical cage with a diameter of a thousand meters.
On the inner wall of the cage, laser engraving machines carved dense forbidden runes with nanometer-level precision, each pattern shimmering with a faint purple light.
These runes were not products of modern technology but all came from Hong Tian Venerable's memories in Su Lei's Sea of Consciousness, the supreme Sealing art used to suppress evil spirits in ancient times!
"Energy matrix ready!"
As the command was issued, twelve large nuclear fusion reactors near the base roared simultaneously.
Vast energy surged into the cage through thick transmission pipes.
In an instant, the runes on the inner wall were lit one by one.
The entire Seal system began to operate, and the energy field formed a perfect closed loop, completely sealing the Demonic Beast's aura.
—This Seal can suppress it for at least a thousand years!
