56: The secret to the Domination's power!

"Perfect, then I'll use its talent... to send you on your way!"

Zzzzzzzzt—!!!

Violent, dark purple destructive lightning once again gathered and compressed on Su Chen's massive, scarred body!

The lightning flashed, illuminating the cold killing intent in his eyes!

Just as the lightning strike was about to erupt—

"Wait!"

Aria suddenly lowered her head, her deep purple beautiful eyes piercing through the rock cracks, staring intently at a certain direction deep within the boiling, scorching white magma below.

Her voice, for the first time, carried a hint of genuine surprise and... fear!

"Don't attack! Don't you feel it?!"

"It's just magma? So what if it erupts!"

Su Chen roared, the lightning growing even more intense!

"Something's wrong! Very wrong!"

Aria's voice suddenly rose, filled with an unprecedented urgency.

"Below... there's not just magma! There's... something! It's being restrained, but the restraint... is loosening! Once it fully erupts... you, me, and this entire mountain will all be torn into fundamental particles by that chaotic, extremely violent energy! Not even dust will remain!!!"

Hearing Aria's words,

Su Chen's furious offensive suddenly stalled.

His massive spiritual perception, guided by Aria's warning, penetrated the boiling magma and violent energy currents, reaching something deeper—a colossal, ancient, and terrifyingly chaotic energy source!

It was like a sleeping evil heart, slowly... pulsating!

Each faint pulsation caused a strange resonance throughout the magma lake, as if the very foundation of Mount Fuji trembled with it.

"Holy crap! What is that thing?! How could something like this be sealed in the land of Fusang?!"

Su Chen's huge body involuntarily trembled.

He finally understood!

Why Minamoto no Yoshinobu, Shuten Dōji, and others could soar to over twenty ranks within just a few days of the spiritual energy's resurgence!

Why the spiritual energy concentration on Mount Fuji was dozens of times higher than outside!

Because the Dominion's lair... was built upon this active volcano, this powder keg sealing a terrifying entity!

The mere insignificant energy that leaked out,

created the Dominion's "powerhouses"!

What kind of existence must the sealed entity itself be?!

In an instant,

The electricity that Su Chen had been gathering instantly dissipated.

Although he didn't know what was sealed below,

he knew for certain

that

if his attack broke the seal,

everyone

would be doomed!

...Off the coast of Tokyo,

"It's over, it's over! This Kraken actually possesses an SSS-grade Devour Talent! If he really devours the God-Sacrificer... his strength will surely skyrocket again! By then... who can stop him?!"

Saruman paced back and forth on the sea surface like an ant on a hot pan, his face filled with unconcealed panic.

Liss clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles white, his voice heavy as lead:

"Bishop! We can't hesitate any longer! In just six days, he grew from a newborn beast to being able to contend with the God-Sacrificer! Give him a few more days... not to mention you, even if the Pope himself came... he might not be able to take him down! We must nip him in the bud! At all costs!"

Morgue's body, shrouded in a black robe, remained motionless. Under the shadow of his hood, two faint glows flickered intensely.

Suddenly!

His nostrils, covered in fine scales, twitched slightly,

as if he had caught a whiff of some ancient, ominous aura.

"Hmm?"

Morgue's voice carried a hint of surprise,

"The power... of the Old Ones?"

"Old Ones?!"

Liss and Saruman gasped in horror, like cats whose tails had been stepped on!

"Weren't They... all fallen in the 'War of Annihilation' billions of years ago?!"

"They fell."

Morgue's voice returned to its cold tone, with a hint of insight,

"But their remains... are scattered across countless planes. Beneath Mount Fuji... a portion of an Old One's remains should be sealed!"

At this point, Morgue's lips, hidden in the shadows, suddenly curved into a smile of extreme cruelty!

"However... this way, there's a method... to solve these two troubles once and for all."

"My Lord! You... you want to destroy the Old One's seal?!"

Liss gasped, his voice changing pitch!

"Completely destroy it? This Seat doesn't have that ability yet."

Morgue slowly raised a hand covered in dark scales, a wisp of water swirling around his fingertip.

"But... adding fuel to that already loose seal... causing a small... fluctuation, disturbing the sleeping 'neighbor'... that can be done."

The wisp of water on his fingertip wriggled and condensed like a living thing!

"Hahahaha! Bishop is brilliant!"

Saruman's face instantly filled with a fawning and cruel smile.

"Once the Old One's remains are disturbed, out of the instinct to devour all life energy... the first to bear the brunt will be the Kraken and the God-Sacrificer in the volcano! Killing two birds with one stone! Eliminating future troubles forever!!!"

...Inside Mount Fuji,

"Hehe, Big Guy, are you still fighting?!"

Aria looked at Su Chen, who had obediently put away his lightning,

a lazy and elegant curve gracing her lips.

"Hmph, I don't believe you won't come out! I'll wait for you at the crater!"

Su Chen snorted coldly.

His ten giant tentacles began to wriggle,

his massive body climbing up the rock wall.

The interior of Mount Fuji was simply too dangerous.

It was better to get out quickly, and then figure out how to kill this Spider Spirit once outside.

The thing sealed below,

just a wisp of its aura, made Su Chen's liver and guts tremble.

However,

at this moment,

Rumble—!!!

Like a celestial river breaking its banks!

Icy, bone-chilling seawater, carrying tens of thousands of tons of force, poured down frantically from the crater above!

Forming a destructive giant waterfall of water, it slammed down fiercely!

"More enemies?!"

Su Chen's giant eyes widened in fury!

His ten tentacles fiercely plunged into the scorching rock wall, desperately resisting the terrifying impact!

He suddenly turned to look at Aria not far away, roaring:

"You damn Spider Spirit! You have helpers?!"

Aria's eight blade-like long legs deeply pierced into the rock wall, enduring the violent water current's scour,

gritting her silver teeth, her voice filled with anger and solemnity:

"Idiot! Such a fierce impact will only accelerate the destruction of the rock structure! This is going to bury us... along with the thing sealed below... together! How could it be my helper!!!"

Crack! Crack! Crack—!!!

Under the impact of the water flow,

the already cracked rock layers below finally completely crumbled!

Boom—!!!!

The entire Mount Fuji trembled violently!

As if a terrifying existence that had slept for billions of years was forcibly awakened by this blasphemous disturbance and violent impact!

Inside the mountain,

the rock layers beneath Su Chen and Aria instantly collapsed and vanished!

Below, the scorching white magma lake, previously restrained, erupted like a world-ending beast breaking free from its cage!

Its color instantly escalated from dazzling golden-red to a scorching white that annihilated everything!

An invisible yet irresistibly terrifying shackle,

shattered with a lament that seemed to come from the end of the universe!
