414: I am the seal itself, the prison of the Abyss

Su Han's palm stung, and the jade bottle transformed into a blue light that vanished into his glabella.

His Sea of Consciousness was engulfed by an endless star map, and he saw nine layers of Seals collapsing, with the central star-river giant slowly opening its eyes…

That was absolutely not human, but a monster composed of stars and distorted space-time.

“I found you…”

A hoarse whisper echoed in his mind.

The little boy's corpse suddenly split open, and countless purple Meridians flew out, coiling around the chains on the stone pillar.

A large number of carrion Gu worms surged from the ground connected to the end of the Meridians; they frantically gnawed at the junction of the vines and the stone pillars, and black liquid gushed out, forming complex Talismanic Incantations on the ground.

“It’s using its own flesh and blood to repair the Seal…”

Bi Yao gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence, “But the direction of repair is wrong! It will tear apart the Three Enclosures Constellation!”

Su Han was covered in ice-blue light streams, and the star-currents surging in his blood vessels blurred his vision, yet he could see every detail clearly.

One end of the chain was connected to the star-river giant’s heart, while the other end was nailed to an unknown entity deep within the earth.

“Erosion Abyss isn’t opening the Seal…”

He suddenly understood, “It’s ‘pulling’ out what’s under the Seal!”

The Gravekeeper suddenly roared, and the ethereal blue flames surged, burning cracks into the nearest stone pillar.

“Su Han! Use your sword to cut the chains! Bi Yao! Use True Fire to burn the Gu worms!”

However, it was too late.

The runes on the star-river giant’s chest lit up, and the entire space began to distort.

Two blood-red rays of light shot from the eye sockets of the little boy’s corpse, directly piercing through the Gravekeeper’s chest.

“No!!”

Su Han rushed forward, only to see the Gravekeeper’s body rapidly swelling, black patterns covering his entire body, and ethereal blue flames gushing from his seven orifices—he was actually assimilated by Erosion Abyss!

“Su Han… kill… me…”

The Gravekeeper’s voice had distorted into an inhuman roar.

Su Han tremblingly raised the remaining Green Flame Sword, but its blade was swallowed by black flames the moment it touched the Gravekeeper’s glabella.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound came from the direction of the jade bottle.

Bi Yao had, at some unknown point, gathered all her spiritual power; three Phoenix True Fire Talismans encircled her, and her right arm had completely transformed into a monstrous arm covered in golden patterns.

“Last chance! I’ll draw away the Gu worms, you cut the chains!”

Su Han gritted his teeth and nodded.

Bi Yao transformed into a golden light and charged into the swarm of Gu worms; golden patterns and Gu worms tore at each other, erupting in dazzling firelight.

Meanwhile, Su Han used this momentary chaos to leap towards the highest stone pillar.

“Clang!!”

The Green Flame Sword finally collided with the chain, producing a deafening metallic resonance.

The chain snapped inch by inch, and a dazzling blue light burst forth from the star-river giant’s heart.

The ground shook violently, and countless carrion Gu worms surged out from the cracks, but they turned into frost the moment they touched Su Han.

“Hurry and leave!” Su Han shouted.

But Bi Yao suddenly shrieked as the Gu worms began to gnaw at her.

Bi Yao struggled to slap a Talisman onto Su Han’s back; the Talisman paper transformed into a golden barrier, while her figure was dragged into the ground by black vines.

“Bi Yao!!”

Su Han roared, smashing the last chain, and the stone pillar collapsed with a crash.

The star-river giant’s heart was exposed, and inside was a rotating nebula vortex—there, a pair of blood-red eyes were slowly opening.

The entire wasteland fell into a dead silence.

Erosion Abyss’s vines and stone pillars all collapsed, leaving only the star-river giant’s heart suspended in mid-air, emitting a destructive pressure.

Su Han fell to the ground, his entire body’s Meridians riddled with holes from the scorching star-currents, yet he still stared intently at those blood-red eyes.

“Three thousand years…”

A hoarse voice directly exploded in his Sea of Consciousness, “Finally, your Bloodline Awakening…”

“Who are you?!” Su Han roared.

“Am I the one who was Sealed? No…”

A human face formed by starlight appeared in the nebula vortex, “I am the Seal itself, the prison of Erosion Abyss.”

Su Han’s entire body trembled violently.

At this moment, the sky suddenly tore open again.

Countless starlight poured down from the crack, forming a giant star map on the ground. (End of Chapter)
