1127: Chapter 1126 Thick Earth Suppressing Heaven Seal

“Middle Stage of the Fifth Rank?! No wonder those people all died!”

A voice of shock and anger came from the dark shadow. Based on previous intelligence and the combat power Galan had displayed, they judged that she was at most at the Peak of the Early Stage of the Fifth Rank, and would surely be weakened after a major battle.

But the Aura of the woman before them was clearly that of a stable Middle Stage of the Fifth Rank, and her offensive was fierce. Where was there any sign of weakness?

Before the dark shadow could steady its footing, Galan's right-hand sword had already arrived!

That pale green, nearly transparent longsword lunged out silently with an incredibly tricky angle, pointing straight at the deepest Blade-glow mark on the shadow shield!

The sword speed was not fast, yet it carried a mysterious rhythm that locked onto Karma, making it unavoidable.

The sword emerged like the wind, pervasive and advancing in sequence, tracing back to the source!

“Chit!”

The shadow shield was already damaged, and under this pinpoint-accurate strike, it was directly pierced through!

The tip of the sword, carrying a strand of condensed azure wind spiral, stabbed toward the dark shadow's true body!

The dark shadow was horrified and no longer held back. With a shrill cry, its entire body exploded, turning into black crow feathers that flew all over the sky, scattering to narrowly avoid the heart-piercing strike.

The crow feathers gathered again nearby, and the dark shadow reformed, but its Aura showed a hint of disorder. Clearly, Galan's move had still affected it.

“Good! Quite the Canglan successor! You indeed have some skill!”

The dark shadow's voice was cold, leaking killing intent. “However, you are ultimately just a cornered beast fighting a desperate battle.”

Before the words finished, three more figures squeezed through the spatial rift almost simultaneously!

Several incomparably powerful Divine Senses, like venomous snakes locking onto their prey, instantly coiled around!

“Found you!”

“Junior, you are quite alert!”

“Surrender now, and you can avoid the pain of Soul Searching!”

Cold, domineering, and greedy Divine Thought fluctuations exploded in her Sea of Consciousness like thunderclaps.

One figure was wrapped in blazing golden light, like a miniature sun, radiating majestic Divine Might and heat. It was a Divine General of the Late Stage of the Fifth Rank, belonging to the force that had ordered “bring her back” from within the golden orb!

Another figure was a mass of crimson flames constantly changing shape. Within the flames, a hideous face was faintly visible, its Aura violent—also at the Late Stage of the Fifth Rank!

And another was a three-zhang-tall Puppet constructed entirely of some silver metal, with runes flowing at its joints!

Although its Aura was not as agile as the first two, it was as heavy as a mountain, carrying a cold metallic killing intent. It was actually a War Puppet with the combat power of the Late Stage of the Fifth Rank!

As soon as the four Late Stage Fifth Rank experts appeared, their terrifying Auras intertwined like four great mountains, instantly suppressing the sky of this broken Secret Realm!

The azure hurricane was hit by this combined Aura and immediately dissipated by more than half.

Galan stood at the center of the four experts' pressure, her white dress fluttering, yet her expression remained as calm as water.

She slowly withdrew her longsword, her cold gaze sweeping across the four figures before finally landing on the spatial rift.

There, it seemed more Auras were trying to pour in, and with even greater power.

Besides Galan, the four experts also noticed this, and their expressions changed slightly.

“Damn it, that fellow has actually come out of seclusion!”

“I didn't expect him to come as well!”

“Hahahaha, this trip is truly worthwhile. I wonder how strong he is now?”

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared abruptly in the sky, followed by a figure stepping out slowly.

It was a young man in a long robe with a resolute and steady face. His body was surrounded by a mountain-heavy earthy yellow light. With every step he took, the broken earth below resonated!

“Eternal Dust!”

Galan gave a clear cry, her hands forming a hollow embrace. The dao marks within her body vibrated wildly, even triggering a riot of the remaining wind Laws in the entire Secret Realm!

In an instant, with her as the center, a terrifying storm covering a radius of a thousand miles was generated!

This was no ordinary storm. Every strand of wind blade contained the power of annihilation, tearing through spiritual energy, and mixed with Sword Qi and Blade-glow, it turned into countless azure tornadoes, roaring toward the experts in the sky!

This strike was far more powerful than any move used to kill Elder Chiyang and the others before!

Wherever the storm passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing pitch-black void, and the remaining mountain ruins were ground directly into powder!

“I didn't expect that after not appearing for a hundred years, I would encounter such a strong person as soon as I came out!”

The young man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He clearly hadn't expected Galan to use such a sharp Divine Ability right away, and he was even more surprised by her current Middle Stage Fifth Rank cultivation.

But as a Peak Fifth Rank expert, how could he be afraid?

He formed hand seals and slammed them downward!

“Thick Earth Heaven-Suppressing Seal!”

Rumble!

The already broken earth below suddenly rose, and countless essences of soil and stone gathered frantically, condensing in front of him in an instant into a dark yellow giant shield ten thousand zhang high and of unknown thickness!

Runes flowed on the giant shield, emitting a heavy dao rhyme that suppressed the eight directions and remained unmoved through the ages, as if connected to the Earth Dragon Vein, channeling all impact into the endless depths of the ground.

The terrifying storm, enough to strangle a Middle Stage Fifth Rank, slammed hard into this “Thick Earth Heaven-Suppressing Shield”!

“Boom boom boom boom—!!!”

Continuous explosions echoed through the heavens and earth. Azure wind blades and yellow earthy-glow clashed fiercely and annihilated each other, the violent energy turbulence sweeping everything nearby clean.

However, the giant shield only vibrated violently. Its light dimmed slightly, and a few cracks appeared on its surface, yet it still stood towering, firmly blocking all the storms!

“Strong enough. If we were in the same Realm, I would definitely be no match for you. But if this is all you have, then you'd better surrender obediently!”

The young man exclaimed in admiration, and across the giant shield, he struck out a palm from a distance.

An incredibly condensed earthy yellow palm print ignored the obstruction of the remaining storm and appeared before Galan as if teleporting. Within the palm print was a terrifying will of suppression, imprisonment, and crushing, freezing the space around Galan by thirty percent!

Galan's pupils constricted slightly.

The Peak of the Fifth Rank—their understanding and application of Laws, and the quality and quantity of their spiritual energy, were indeed incomparable to the Middle Stage!

This casual palm strike was already no less powerful than the life-risking strike of the Middle-aged Sword Cultivator!

She didn't dare to take it head-on. Her figure blurred again, and at the critical moment, using the Nine Heavens Wind God Steps combined with spatial folding, she narrowly shifted a hundred zhang to the side.

The palm print brushed past her and struck a distant ruin. Silently, that ruin instantly turned into a pile of the finest dust, and even the spatial structure seemed to have been “compacted.”

And at the moment Galan dodged the palm print and her figure was revealed.

“Chit!”

A golden light ray, as thin as a hair and nearly transparent, shot out from the side void without warning, heading straight for Galan's temple!

Its speed surpassed the reaction of Divine Sense, and it left no trace, being extremely sinister!

At the same time, the sky overhead suddenly darkened. A giant hand flashing with metallic cold light tore through the clouds, carrying an Aura that suppressed everything, and grabbed downward!

Before the giant hand even arrived, the fluctuations it triggered were already rushing toward her.
