309: World-Destroying Curse Seal

Meanwhile, in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, Soul Burial Valley.

It was completely different from the boiling blood and excitement at the Capital General Bureau.

The atmosphere here was oppressive and deathly silent, yet filled with a morbid and fanatical surge of energy.

Looking down from high above, Soul Burial Valley resembled a hideous scar on the earth.

On both sides were pitch-black cliffs where not a single blade of grass grew.

The valley floor was shrouded year-round in a gray mist, seemingly condensed from the wails of countless aggrieved Souls.

And at this moment, beneath this thick mist, it had already been completely transformed.

A multi-layered composite Magic Formation, so massive it was hard to imagine,

Like layers of evil lotuses, bloomed in the deepest part of the valley floor.

At the core of the Magic Formation was a giant altar piled with countless Bones, rotting flesh, twisted metal, and strange crystals emitting an ominous light.

Floating above the altar was a dark purple seal more than ten meters in diameter, constantly pulsating and covered with billions of pained faces—the prototype of the "Extinction Curse Seal."

Countless strands of curse energy, as thin as hair and as dense as substance, converged from all directions.

Like billions of venomous snakes, they frantically drilled into the seal.

With every bit of energy merged, the seal became a bit more solid, and its pulsation grew more powerful.

The malicious Law fluctuations emanating from it, which could corrode all things and curse all living beings to death, also grew stronger accordingly!

Around the altar, more than three thousand powerful Abyssal Demons knelt.

They were at least fifth-rank at the lowest, with sixth and seventh-ranks everywhere.

One could even feel no fewer than ten terrifying fluctuations that had reached the threshold of the eighth-rank!

All of them had blood-red eyes, frantically chanting ancient and profane abyssal incantations.

They poured their Evil Energy, essence blood, and even part of their Soul Origin without reservation into the lines of the Magic Formation beneath their feet.

Throughout the valley floor, Evil Energy was like a sea and curses were like a tide; space was completely distorted.

It formed an independent, terrifying Domain where the Laws tilted toward negative extremes.

Standing at the very front of the altar, presiding over this profane ceremony, was a figure shrouded in thick black mist!

Only two points of crimson light, like blood moons, flickered within the black mist.

Looking down over the entire ceremonial ground, it was filled with endless majesty, antiquity, and indifference.

It was none other than one of the Gloomy Abyss Abyssal Overlords—the Lord of Curses!

He had actually descended to this realm in person to preside over this final ceremony!

The Lord of Curses' voice, like the whispers of billions of aggrieved Souls, rang directly in the Souls of all the Demonic Evils:

"Soon... it will be soon..."

"The resentment accumulated over ten thousand years and the fear of all living beings in this realm will all turn into my authority!"

"Once the 'Extinction Curse Seal' is complete, I shall take charge of the negative roots of this realm! At that time..."

His crimson blood-eyes seemed to penetrate the thick mist and mountain walls, seeing the distant future:

"That ant who has repeatedly ruined our plans, I will find your Soul imprint."

"I will make you taste the pain of ten thousand curses devouring your heart!"

"Your power will become the best nourishment to feed my authority!"

"The entire human world will wail and tremble under my abyss's curse! Hahahahaha!"

Hearing this, the surrounding Demonic Evils Cadres also let out fanatical roars.

"Lord's Divine Might! The abyss is eternal!"

"Let these ants witness the majesty of our abyss!"

With their shouts, the energy output of the ceremony surged once again!

However, just as this frenzy reached its peak—

"Report—Report—!!!"

A figure in a panic, scrambling and crawling, suddenly burst into the ceremonial ground from the outer perimeter.

He even fell directly onto the hard, rune-carved ground because of his extreme terror.

Ignoring the pain, he cried out hoarsely:

"Lord Lord of Curses! Something is wrong!"

"The life signatures of the Yunling Mountain Range stronghold... all... all have disappeared!"

"Just now, they were all annihilated in an instant, and even Lord Devouring Curse Demon Marshal's aura has disappeared along with them..."

"What?!" The fanatical atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze!

Several Demonic Evils Cadres turned their heads sharply, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

"All annihilated in an instant? How is that possible?"

"You wouldn't be joking, would you? Is this the place for jokes?"

They were shocked, they were in disbelief.

That place had the dual Magic Formations of 'Ten Thousand Shadows Covering the Sky' and 'Ten Thousand Curses Binding the Gods' personally set up by the Lord!

Even if discovered by humans, it should have at least held out for a while, and might even have heavily injured or killed the intruders!

How could it be annihilated in an instant?

The black mist around the Lord of Curses churned violently.

Those two points of crimson blood-eyes suddenly lit up like two burning stars.

But to the surprise of all the Demonic Evils, he did not fly into a rage, but instead let out a low, eerie laugh:

"Heh... hehehe... as expected... just as I thought..."

"Lord?" One trusted Cadre asked in doubt.

The Lord of Curses' voice carried a cold playfulness as he continued:

"To be able to find that stronghold in such a short time."

"It seems these human ants do indeed possess some means to accurately detect my abyss's power."

"What? How is that possible?!" The Demonic Evils were horrified.

Detecting the abyss?

How could mere humans possibly do that!

"Nothing is impossible," the Lord of Curses said indifferently. "The consecutive failures of the Incinerator, the Skeleton Monarch... this already explains the problem. Otherwise,"

"Why would he always be able to find our key nodes?"

"But now that it's confirmed, it's fine."

His crimson blood-eyes turned toward the "Extinction Curse Seal" pulsating increasingly violently in the center of the altar.

His tone became fanatical and full of confidence again:

"The bait has been swallowed, and the fish should be following the line now."

"Pass the order!" The Lord of Curses' voice suddenly became Bone-chillingly majestic, echoing throughout the field.

"All outer perimeter units, activate maximum level defense! All interference strongholds, open energy concealment to the full!"

"The ceremony enters its final stage! All personnel, regardless of the cost, pour in energy! Accelerate the condensation of the 'Extinction Curse Seal'!"

"If he wants to come, let him come!"

The Lord of Curses' wild laughter was like the screeching of an owl, filled with endless malice and arrogance:

"I want to see what kind of waves this so-called strongest human,"

"Can stir up in front of my 'Extinction Curse Seal', which is reinforced by ten thousand years of resentment and is about to complete its condensation!"

"When he steps into this valley, it will be the time his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering occurs and he becomes nourishment for my curse seal!"

Hearing this, all the Demonic Evils felt as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline, and the fear in their eyes was replaced by fanatical faith.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live the abyss!"

"Tear that ant to pieces and let the humans see our power!"

They roared, pushing the ceremony to its final and most frenzied stage!

Above Soul Burial Valley, the thick mist churned violently.

The dark purple ominous light grew stronger and stronger, like a world-destroying Vicious Beast about to wake up, opening its fangs and waiting for its prey to fall into the trap.

And at the end of the horizon, a blood-colored streak of light, tearing through the sky, was charging forward with an unstoppable force!

The decisive battle was on the verge of breaking out!
