335: Chapter 335 The Seal?

After a brief stalemate, the Southeast Main Rift slowly expanded outward again.

This reversal caused panic to ripple through the group of Cultivators in the valley below.

"What's happening? The rift... the rift is getting bigger!" a young Cultivator's voice trembled.

"The Supreme... the Supreme's Seal seems to be blocked? Is it really not going to work?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Since the Supreme is here, there must be a way!"

Someone immediately retorted, their tone firm.

"But... but that's the Demon Ancestor on the other side!"

Ling Hao's gaze pierced through the churning spatial turbulence and floating debris, seeing the other end of the True Demon Realm.

At the core of the massive Formation was a burly figure burning with dark red demonic flames.

The almost tangible demonic might allowed Ling Hao to instantly confirm the other party's identity.

"Yan Yan Demon Ancestor."

"Hmph."

Ling Hao let out a cold snort, his hands changing Dharma Seals, his Divine Thought communicating with something deeper.

In an instant, a phantom of an ancient wu tripod appeared above the light grid, and the runes flowing on its walls erupted with brilliant light.

A vast and majestic power surged into the light grid woven by the power of the world-suppressing monument.

The light grid instantly became thick and solid, contracting.

Screech—!

The cross-shaped rift's expansion was forcibly halted, and the black mist at the edges was instantly purified.

"Look! The rift is closing!"

"The Supreme's Divine Might! That's the wu tripod! The power of the wu tripod!"

Huge cheers erupted from the valley below.

Yu Lingling, Nangong Mei, and Baili Qiao also showed joy, their tightly clenched fists loosening slightly.

Just as the rift was about to close to the last tiny gap, the surrounding spatial debris trembled violently. It seemed a force erupted from the other side of the rift, and the main rift suddenly rebounded and expanded outward for an instant.

Ling Hao's brows furrowed tightly, a flash of cold sternness in his eyes.

"How ruthless."

On the other side of the True Demon Realm.

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor's eyes were blood-red. While frantically maintaining the operation of the world-breaking demon sundial, he raised his hand and pointed into the air toward the place where the Demon Army maintaining the Formation was gathered!

"Blood Sacrifice! Activate!"

Boom!

In a corner of the Formation, tens of thousands of low-level Demon Army soldiers instantly turned into a sky full of blood mist.

Before the thick bloody scent could dissipate, it was greedily absorbed by the Formation patterns below. The light of the Formation instantly became blinding and eerie, turning a dark, blackish red.

Under the impact of the Blood Sacrifice's power, the spatial rift was forcibly expanded by another fraction.

"Not enough!"

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor raised his hand again, pointing at three Body Integration Stage Demon Saints who were struggling to maintain spatial stability within the Formation!

"No! Lord Demon Ancestor..."

The terrified pleas of the three Demon Saints were cut short. They instantly followed the Demon Army's fate, turning into pure flesh-and-blood energy and being swallowed by the Formation.

Taihuang Heavenly Demon, Red Lotus Demon Emperor, and other high-ranking officials witnessed this scene. Their eyelids twitched wildly, and deep fear flashed in their eyes.

But they dared not utter a word, only pouring their demonic power into the Formation even more desperately.

At the peak of the mountain below the Southeast, three pure and massive beams of spiritual power suddenly shot into the sky, injecting into the huge phantom of the wu tripod high above.

Yu Lingling, Nangong Mei, and Baili Qiao had solemn expressions, fully stimulating their own spiritual power.

Yu Lingling's cold voice resonated through the sky.

"Fellow Daoists! Inject your spiritual power into the wu tripod phantom and help the Supreme! Sealing the rift depends on this!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too!"

"Let's go all out!"

After a brief silence, thunderous responses erupted in the valley.

Countless Cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, sat cross-legged one after another, doing their best to mobilize their own spiritual power.

In an instant, thousands of spiritual power beams, thick or thin, strong or weak, rose from every corner of the valley like a colorful galaxy flowing backward, converging like a hundred rivers into the sea, pouring into the huge wu tripod phantom.

This scene was spectacular, condensing the hope of all the Cultivators.

Ling Hao watched the spectacular torrent of spiritual power below, his heart warming slightly, yet he shook his head with a bitter smile.

To him and the wu tripod, this spiritual power was a drop in the bucket, far from enough to shake the root of the rift.

But this unity of purpose was precious.

As Ling Hao's thoughts stirred, just as he was about to call upon more of the wu tripod's power,

The wu tripod phantom hanging high above the light grid flickered violently, and its light suddenly dimmed by several degrees.

Ling Hao turned his head abruptly to look in the direction of the Yunmeng Great Marsh and Cangwu City.

"Fallen Immortal Ancient Banyan!"

Ling Hao, who had a connection with the wu tripod, sensed the condition of the wu tripod's main body suppressing the main root system of the Fallen Immortal Ancient Banyan.

Because he had overdrawn its power, the wu tripod's suppression power had weakened. That main root was taking the opportunity to frantically assault the wu tripod's suppression.

If he continued to forcibly draw power, I'm afraid...

"The rift... the rift is still expanding!"

"The wu tripod's phantom... did it just flicker? Is... is the power insufficient?"

The group of Cultivators below also noticed the abnormal flickering of the wu tripod phantom.

"Trouble."

A flash of solemnity crossed Ling Hao's eyes.

Sealing the rift and suppressing the Fallen Immortal Ancient Banyan's main root had now become a dilemma!

...

True Demon Realm.

"Trash! All of you are trash! Anyone who dares to flee again, die!!!"

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor was completely insane. His demonic flames were dim, and dark red demonic blood was flowing from his seven orifices. His originally burly demonic body actually appeared somewhat shriveled and withered.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Within the Formation, large areas lit up with blinding blood light again. This time, the range was even larger!

Countless Demon Army soldiers turned into clouds of blood mist again, greedily absorbed by the Formation patterns.

The originally dense Demon Army had now become empty and sparse, more than half gone.

The entire area covered by the Formation had its patterns change from crimson to a dark black, like solidified blood. The ground was clean, without a single drop of blood.

All life essence had been squeezed out, becoming fuel to maintain the rift and the world-breaking demon sundial.

The remaining Demon Army completely collapsed. Fear overwhelmed discipline, and they began to flee outside the Formation regardless of the consequences.

"No! Let me out!"

"Spare me, Lord Demon Ancestor!"

However, the moment their figures touched the edge of the Formation, they turned into new blood mist and were absorbed by the great array.

This terrifying scene completely extinguished the other Demon Army soldiers' thoughts of escape, leaving only desperate wails.

Red Lotus Demon Emperor saw Yan Yan Demon Ancestor's gaze sweep toward his area, and the madness and greed in those eyes made his soul fly out of terror.

He could no longer care about anything else, turning into a blood-colored escape light and rushing out of the array with all his might.

"Traitors must be executed!"

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor was furious, his demonic claws grasping from afar!

"No!!!"

Red Lotus Demon Emperor's entire demonic body, along with his protective demonic light, shattered inch by inch, exploding into a thick ball of blood-colored light, which Yan Yan Demon Ancestor directly summoned and blasted into the world-breaking demon sundial.

Taihuang Heavenly Demon, seeing one less person beside him, turned as pale as paper. He steeled himself and persuaded with a trembling voice.

"Demon Ancestor! Old Ancestor! Stop! If this continues... we... we..."

He looked around. Except for a few shivering Heavenly Demons and the Demon Army maintaining the core power of the Formation, the rest of the Demon Army had almost been slaughtered by Yan Yan Demon Ancestor himself.

Taihuang Heavenly Demon dared not say it explicitly, but the meaning could not be clearer.

If it continued, it would be the turn of these remaining high-ranking officials.

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor's bloodshot demonic pupils stared fixedly at the spatial rift fluctuating violently amidst the violent energy, turning a deaf ear to Taihuang Heavenly Demon's advice.

"Hahaha! It's done! Open for this Ancestor!"

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor laughed maniacally, a grim look of joy appearing on his shriveled face.

He could feel that the rift's expansion had reached a critical point. Soon, it would be completely formed!

The Supreme Moonshadow on the other side definitely had no way to reverse it now!

In the next instant, he would be able to imprint the power of the world-breaking demon sundial and forcibly raise the channel's limit.

His demonic claws drove the world-breaking demon sundial. The gnomon rotated to the extreme, erupting with dark red blood light that tore everything apart, about to be imprinted onto the huge rift.

After passing through, first defeat that son-of-a-bitch Supreme Moonshadow, humiliate him fiercely, then slaughter...

Yan Yan Demon Ancestor was envisioning the future.

Suddenly, the ecstasy and grimness on his face froze.

The demonic pupils reflected an empty sky, and... the world-breaking demon sundial instantly covered in cracks due to the backlash of power.

The world-breaking demon sundial's gnomon stabbed into the void in vain.

"...No—!!!"

A roar filled with venom and unwillingness resounded through this Demon Realm.
