Chapter 1799 The Fallen Refiner!
And in that instant...
The stability of the space within the crimson barrier suddenly increased.
The price surged to a despairing new level!
Inside the barrier at this moment, the space was as solid as divine metal, with no flaws to be found.
The instant all the spatial rifts disappeared…
Inside the tortoise shell, the muscular old man suddenly stopped his punching motion, his resolute expression freezing on his face.
Then, when he once again activated his divine sense, attempting to sense and lock onto the void before him, which should have been incredibly fragile…
A look of despair, deep enough to freeze one's very soul, swept across his eyes like a tide, quickly drowning out the last glimmer of hope.
"This...how is this possible!"
His mind was shaken violently, and he almost lost his Daoist resolve.
"How could it be possible in an instant..."
The strength of the spatial seal has increased to such an unbelievable and unshakeable level?!
"Even if it borrowed the power of that terrifying spiritual treasure, given the opponent's current level of cultivation..."
It is absolutely impossible to refine and control a spiritual treasure to such a perfect degree, making it as easy as an extension of one's own arm and as readily available as a thought!
Moreover, to unleash such power from such a supreme treasure is something that cannot be accomplished by magic alone; it requires the power of laws as its source!
"What exactly is going on?!"
The unknown is often more frightening than a powerful enemy.
For a while.
Even the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan, who prided himself on his extensive knowledge and long history, could not comprehend the spatial laws that were so utterly contrary to common sense.
This was beyond his understanding of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and even the use of spiritual treasures.
however.
Sha Minghong had neither the time nor the interest to wait for him to figure out the key to this.
The cold smile at the corner of his mouth curved into a cruel arc, like the smile of death, as he whispered:
"I've seen enough of the show, and I've enjoyed the futile struggles."
"It's dragged on long enough!"
"It's time... for this to end."
The moment this thought crossed his mind, murderous intent ignited.
A sound, not loud, yet clearly transmitted to every corner of the barrier, as if a gentle shout resounded directly in the depths of the soul, echoing throughout this world:
"【Netherworld Blood Prison Spirit Array】, forge!"
next moment.
Time seemed to be stretched and frozen by an invisible force.
Within the crimson barrier, the towering [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] emitted an even deeper and more chilling hum.
The countless divine and demonic reliefs on it seemed to come alive, their blood-red eyes lighting up simultaneously, indifferently looking down at the insignificant "turtle shell" below.
"Refining!"
Sha Minghong's soft shout, though not resounding through the sky, was like an invisible whip of law, lashing out at every inch of space within the barrier.
click -
Click——!
Previously, there were only tiny cracks on the tortoise shell.
At this moment, it was as if it had been injected with a life force of destruction, spreading and expanding wildly!
Those intricate patterns originally flowed with the light of indestructible laws...
Now it is broken and dim, emitting a mournful cry of imminent destruction.
On the surface of the tortoise shell, golden crystalline light clashed fiercely with the destructive red light cast by the blood-red millstone, bursting forth with billions of dazzling sparks.
But the golden light is being eroded and extinguished at a visible rate.
Inside the tortoise shell, the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan, whose expression had just eased slightly due to the effectiveness of his defense, underwent a dramatic change in an instant.
His bulging muscles flashed with mysterious light as he attempted to inject his immense demonic power and the essence of the laws into the tortoise shell once more. However, the force field of the laws that was pressing down from all directions was as heavy as the entire sky collapsing.
Not only did it overwhelm his defenses,
It almost solidified the demonic power and space around him.
He felt like an insect sealed in amber, his thoughts becoming sluggish.
"Do not--!"
A roar containing endless resentment, shock, anger, and a trace of despair was forcibly choked in his throat, turning into a violent contraction of his pupils.
The next moment, destruction came.
boom! ! !
It wasn't a deafening explosion, but a more chilling, muffled sound, as if the very foundations of heaven and earth were being crushed.
The tortoise shell, which was as hard as gold and crystal and had been given high hopes, shattered completely, like glass struck by a giant hammer!
There was no earth-shattering shockwave; all the destructive force was precisely restrained and compressed inward by that terrifying law field.
The shattered shell didn't scatter and fly everywhere; rather, it disintegrated the moment it detached from the body...
It was entangled, cut, and ground by the omnipresent threads of crimson law, transforming into the purest stream of energy.
As if swallowed by an invisible giant maw, it quickly dissolved into the blood-red barrier, leaving not a trace.
The moment the tortoise shell shattered, the true form of the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan was revealed inside.
His bulging muscular body, having lost its ultimate protection, was directly exposed to the destructive power of the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone].
He couldn't even let out a scream.
Faced with that indescribable, irresistible crushing power, his incomparably powerful Nascent Soul demon body...
As fragile as a sand dune.
Starting from the limbs, it disintegrated inch by inch.
Instead of turning into blood mist,
Instead, it was directly broken down into the most basic particles, which shimmered with a faint yellow light!
Not bad.
These particles emitting spiritual light are the very source of the laws of the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan.
As long as the particles of law do not perish, Nascent Soul cultivators will not die.
It is also the foundation of his life.
As far as the eye could see, there was not a trace of flesh or remains, only a dense, cloud-like mass of yellow law particles, radiating a mournful aura, slowly drifting and rotating in place.
It seems they are trying to regroup.
Like a headless fly, it was firmly bound and isolated by the force field of the blood-red barrier, flickering in vain.
Outside the barrier,
Sha Minghong stood with his hands behind his back, his scarlet eyes reflecting the gradually dissipating golden light of the tortoise shell and the drifting yellow particle cloud, without any ripples.
"Want to be resurrected?"
Perhaps there are no secret methods to deal with this in this world, and we can only rely on our own laws and origins to fight and exhaust each other!
"It's a pity you met me; it's your greatest misfortune."
The next moment...
He slightly raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the yellow cloud of law particles.
"Suck!"
Follow your words.
The laws within the crimson barrier subtly shifted, and a devouring force specifically targeting the origin particles quietly spread.
The yellow particles that were trying to coalesce dimmed rapidly, their connections forcibly severed.
It then transformed into tiny streams of light, disappearing into the giant millstone that stood horizontally in the sky.
So far!
The old generation of the Xuan Turtle Clan Demon Lord, who had dominated this world for thousands of years, has now been completely deprived of even the chance to reunite his soul and be reborn from a drop of blood!
It is heading towards a true end, a complete annihilation of both body and soul.
The crimson barrier continued to operate slowly, and the crimson light in the eyes of the divine and demonic reliefs on the [Purgatory World-Destroying Millstone] gradually subsided.
The bright yellow particles inside the millstone became increasingly pure.
A moment later, Shark Minghong's thoughts shifted...
The colossal millstone, which had gradually fallen silent, suddenly trembled and emitted a deep, resonant hum.
It was like a sigh from the primordial chaos.
A dazzling array of bright yellow particles, like a bursting dam or millions of miniature stars, burst forth from the center of the millstone!
They are not chaotic, but rather contain a profound and mysterious trajectory, intertwined and swirling together.
It formed a magnificent torrent that stretched across the void.
Wherever it passed...
Even this blood-red barrier space, suppressed by the [Hellish Annihilation Millstone], was rippled with layers of waves.
See it!
A barely suppressed, burning smile suddenly appeared in Sha Minghong's deep, unfathomable eyes.
Like lightning flashing across the night,
Then, it returned to a profound sense of complete control.
A barely perceptible, cold smile curved his lips.
"The very essence of the Earth Law..."
Finally, we can make up for some of the losses!
Thinking of this,
Without the slightest hesitation.
Sha Minghong's lips parted slightly, his movements seemingly slow, yet they guided the flow of energy around him.
The surging torrent of bright yellow water seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, suddenly contracting and condensing into an extremely refined beam of light that precisely entered his mouth.
"boom--!"
It was not a real sound, but a violent vibration originating from the very source of life!
In an instant,
A majestic wave, indescribable in words, suddenly awakened, like an ancient sacred mountain that had slumbered for billions of years.
Centered on Shark Minghong's body, it erupted with a roar!
This force was too vast and too tyrannical.
So much so that the void around him immediately emitted a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight any longer.
It violently trembled and twisted.
The light bends and shatters within, revealing countless fine black cracks.
It truly was a scene of teetering on the brink of collapse, on the verge of total destruction.
Upon closer inspection, beneath Shark Minghong's luxurious robes, his powerful physique was enduring unimaginable pressure.
On the surface of the skin, crisscrossing wounds suddenly burst open, like parched earth suffering from a long drought, so deep that the bone was visible!
A trickle of crimson blood tinged with a faint golden light, like living magma, slowly oozed from the wound.
It hasn't dripped yet.
The terrifying fluctuations surrounding it evaporated into wisps of blood energy, adding to the tragic and majestic atmosphere.
With his exceptionally sharp senses, Sha Minghong immediately noticed the subtle changes in his own body. His brows furrowed, and deep frown lines etched themselves onto his forehead.
A strong sense of foreboding arose in my mind.
"not good!"
A chilling thought swept through his mind like a cold current.
"This reincarnated body, though tempered and refined countless times, ultimately failed to transcend the mortal realm and attain sainthood."
It is utterly incapable of bearing the power of the fundamental laws!
"unless……
Immediately using the laws of earth as a foundation, forcefully attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
This causes a leap in the level of life.
Only in this way can this force be contained.
Obviously.
Although he has not yet fused the innate Qi and the earth's turbid Qi, with Shark Minghong's profound foundation, it is not entirely impossible for him to forcefully break through the barrier and directly step into the Nascent Soul stage.
This temptation is so great that it could drive most cultivators in the world mad.
But in the next moment, a fleeting look of hesitation crossed Shark Minghong's eyes.
It was then replaced by absolute rationality and ruthlessness.
He immediately dismissed the idea, his resolve as firm as a rock.
"Entering the Dao through the principles of earth, while demonstrating a solid foundation, lacks flexibility and has limited potential."
This contradicts the principle of the myriad phenomena that I pursue.
Even if it can be completed in the future, it will require endless effort and be much less efficient!
To directly skip the 'half-saint' realm of condensing qi and energy is tantamount to cutting off one's own future.
A flawed foundation leads to a dead end.
It will be impossible to remedy the situation later, and the consequences will be endless!
"Besides!" His mind raced as he weighed the pros and cons.
"I have spent a lot of effort collecting the 'innate evil spirits' scattered throughout the world and the 'turbid earth qi' settled in the Nine Netherworlds, and there are already dozens of rare types."
Distance from that first rank, which is enough to place it at the pinnacle of all heavens—
The threshold for combining the 'Myriad Manifestations of the Universe' is not far off.
If we were to give up now for the sake of short-term gain, wouldn't that be penny-wise and pound-foolish?
"The laws of earth are ultimately not my primary focus. To use them to forge a spiritual body would contradict my path and is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Besides!"
Now that all the Nascent Soul stage monsters in the True Dragon Sea have perished, leaving the group leaderless, I have arrived with great momentum. Unifying this vast True Dragon Sea and gathering immeasurable resources is only a matter of time.
Once I have absolute power, unite the strength of the four seas, gather the remaining Qi of the Gang Sha, and refine the supreme [Myriad Manifestations Gang Qi], success will surely come naturally!
Only by making a breakthrough at that time can we follow the right path and establish a flawless foundation!
So what is there for me to be in such a hurry for now?
Just proceed step by step, steadily and surely!
In an instant, the fleeting thought of hope that had been stirring in Sha Minghong's mind due to the surge in power was completely extinguished and vanished without a trace.
His Daoist mind became increasingly clear and lucid.
"Since we cannot break through this barrier, resorting to physical resistance is tantamount to drinking poison to quench our thirst."
It seems that the best course of action is to seal it away first and temporarily store it within the body.
"When my cultivation is complete and I ascend to the position of Nascent Soul, I will break the seal, thoroughly refine it, and integrate it into the Dao of Myriad Phenomena. This will then become a great benefit!"
Thinking of this,
Without further hesitation, Sha Minghong immediately raised his hands, his ten fingers fluttering like butterflies flitting among flowers, forming a series of complex and profound hand seals.
Each hand seal caused the bright yellow light around him to tremble slightly, releasing strands of pure primordial power.
As his hand seals changed, mysterious runes formed from magical power appeared in the void, shimmering with a deep light, intertwined and connected with each other.
finally!
A complex, ever-rotating diagram, containing the essence of sealing away all things, formed on his chest.
At the center of the secret map, a vortex was faintly forming, emanating a powerful suction and binding force.
As he unleashed his final, decisive hand seal, a deep and authoritative shout, like a decree, resounded throughout the barrier:
"seal up!"
In an instant, the suspended secret map suddenly expanded, transforming into a vast net that exuded a powerful aura that could freeze the void and suppress all laws, directly enveloping Sha Minghong himself!
With a flash of light, the secret map rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into an intricate dark gold mark, which was imprinted on his chest.
After a slight shimmer, it gradually disappeared beneath the skin.
Looking again, the raging, earth-shaking aura surrounding Shark Minghong receded rapidly like a tide, gradually becoming quiet and subdued.
However, the seal did not seem to have achieved its full effect.
Occasionally, a trace of terrifying, uncontrollable energy, like a trapped dragon struggling, would still surge forth from his body.
This caused his clothes to flutter and the surrounding air to distort slightly.
