"But I have a Nascent Divinity in my body, so I don't need to use Earthen Aura to train so that I can get used to the environment in the seal. My fellow Daoists, if you're interested, you can give it a try," Tian Lin said to Long Li, Sun Kun, and Su Ming as he watched Ye Shen Tong train.
"Oh well, my small body won't be able to withstand the Earthen Aura erupting directly. I'll forget about this sort of serendipity." Sun Kun laughed and shook his head.
The slightly hunchbacked old Long Li stood up at that moment, and without a single word, he walked towards the second spot where the Earthen Aura was erupting. When he was fifty feet away from it, he frowned and did not continue moving forward. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began getting used to it quietly.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment, then cast a glance at Ye Shen Tong and the old Long Li. He did not choose to go over, but instead continued sitting cross-legged on the spot and did not move.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month went by. During that time, most of the people sat cross-legged and meditated, waiting quietly for the Earthen Aura to weaken. Five days ago, the Earthen Aura spreading out from the seven holes was no longer as strong, but on this day, the weakening of the Earthen Aura could be clearly felt.
Ye Shen Tong was already less than ten feet away from the holes. As for the old Long Li, he continued sitting at a spot seventy to eighty feet away.
Tian Lin's eyes shone brightly when they saw that most of the seven Earthen Qi holes had weakened. Sun Kun's expression was also somewhat grave. They would break open the outer shell of the seal when the Earthen Qi stopped erupting and step inside.
When old Long Li thought of the benefits they would obtain in the seal, a faint glint appeared in his eyes.
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath in the distance and also focused his attention on the holes.
Time trickled by. Six hours later, not a single wisp of Earthen Aura suddenly gushed out from the seven holes. Ye Shen Tong opened his eyes, and when he moved his body, he grinned. He looked as if he was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
As his expression changed drastically, Long Li let out a shrill howl. Tian Lin immediately stood up as well. At the instant the Earthen Aura from the seven holes disappeared, seven red threads suddenly erupted from them. Each of the seven red threads was as thick as an arm and about thirty feet long. Once they flew out, since Ye Shen Tong was the closest to them, his right arm was wrapped up by one of the threads. The spot where his arm was wrapped up immediately showed signs of severe corrosion.
Besides Ye Shen Tong, Long Li was the person who was the closest to Ye Shen Tong. A red thread charged towards the center of his brows at an incredible speed, which made Long Li let out a shrill howl. When it formed a layer of ripples that trembled, he swiftly retreated, but the thread shot through the sound wave formed by his howl and closed in on him.
"What is this?!" Once Tian Lin's Nascent Divinity had reversed, he was the strongest among the group. His divine sense also covered the greatest area, but he had not noticed anything beforehand. Even at that moment, he could not find the red threads in his divine sense. It was as if they had been isolated from his divine sense.
An aura that was not weaker than that of a Lord of World Planes could be sensed from these threads, causing the hearts of the people to tremble. Two of the seven threads that crawled out of the seven holes charged straight towards Tian Lin, and one of them joined the ranks that were chasing after Long Li.
Clearly, they sensed that Tian Lin and the old Long Li posed the greatest threat.
Besides the one on Ye Shen Tong's body, there were two other red threads. At that moment, they charged towards Sun Kun and Su Ming one after the other at the speed of lightning.
For a period of time, the four of them spread out and immediately dodged each other's attacks in the crack that looked like a canyon.
As for the bald crane, it fell to the ground at that moment and turned into a stone. It stopped moving.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming immediately retreated and turned into a long arc that swiftly left into the distance. However, the red thread behind him seemed to have entered his bones, and its speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already less than thirty feet away from Su Ming.
As the group dispersed and the red thread chased after them, most of them fought on their own and did not have time to look at the others. Su Ming saw the red thread closing in on him, but his divine sense and Atman could not sense or sense the red thread at all. He could not lock down on it, and at that moment, the red thread's piercing screeches reached his ears as it charged forward.
At the moment of danger, Su Ming turned around swiftly. When he lifted his right hand, the killing sword appeared out of thin air. Once he held it, he cut down on the incoming red thread. With it, the red thread was cut in half, but not only did Su Ming not let down his guard, he became even more wary and retreated once again.
The two halves of the thread became independent and turned into two red threads that charged towards Su Ming.
When he saw that they were closing in on him, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He still had other tricks up his sleeves, but at that moment, a thought appeared in his heart, and he swiftly patted his storage bag with his right hand. At the instant he did so, a ray of red light flew out from his storage bag.
That red light traveled so quickly that it was incredibly shocking. It disappeared the moment it flew out, but when it reappeared, it was already beside a red thread. Naturally, it was the poisonous wasp that Su Ming had just woken up. Right when it appeared, a purple needle appeared on its tail, and with its unparalleled speed, it stabbed the red thread in an instant.
Once the needle stabbed in, the red thread shuddered, and in the blink of an eye, it withered and turned into ashes. As the poisonous wasp disappeared once again, Su Ming, who had stopped moving in the blink of an eye, could not even see the wasp's body clearly. He could only see a red shadow flash, and the red thread … was reduced to ashes by poison.
This scene could be said to have ended in an instant. The poisonous wasp appeared on Su Ming's shoulder, and with shock on his face, he turned his head to cast it a glance. He sucked in a deep breath, then slowly lifted his right hand and approached the poisonous wasp. The wasp immediately lifted its head, let out a gentle screech, and flew straight into Su Ming's sleeve.
It seemed to like his sleeve a lot. Once it entered, it grabbed onto Su Ming's sleeve and refused to let go no matter what.
Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He walked towards the spot where the others had split up. After a moment, when he returned, Tian Lin's entire body was shining with a piercing red light. When he attacked, the illusion of a big tree manifested behind him. That tree's branches started twitching madly, and the two red threads surrounding it had already turned into a dozen something threads, but their color had become much duller.
Not too far in the distance, three diamond-shaped scales had appeared at the center of Long Li's brows. He held a gourd in his right hand, and there were two black shadows before him. They were fighting against the red thread like shadows.
As for Ye Shen Tong, he was roaring in anger. His right arm had already been corroded to the point that it had turned black, and the red thread had crawled most of its way into his corroded arm, causing a long scar to appear on his body, and it was squirming in a bizarre manner.
Almost at the same time Su Ming returned, an ancient face appeared on the tree that had manifested behind Tian Lin. It opened its mouth and let out a soundless roar. Immediately, the dozen something red threads that had been broken into pieces shuddered. At the instant they stopped moving in midair, Tian Lin moved and enveloped them with his Nascent Divinity. The dozen something threads immediately lost all their luster, and once they fell to the ground, they stopped moving.
Tian Lin's face was slightly pale. When he looked towards Su Ming, who was walking towards him, a hint of surprise flashed briefly in his eyes, and he nodded towards him with a profound look in his eyes.
At that moment, the three diamond-shaped scales at the center of Long Li's brows were rotating rapidly. He lifted the gourd in his hand, and immediately, two more black shadows flew out from within to pounce on the two threads. Muffled booming sounds reverberated in the air, and the two threads instantly disappeared. As for the four black shadows, they tumbled backwards and returned to the gourd. Long Li's expression was dark, but he instantly looked towards Su Ming.
He had seen a red thread chasing after Su Ming, but before long, that person had returned unscathed. This meant that Long Li immediately regarded Su Ming with importance, and he gave him a friendly smile, which was something rarely seen on him. It was a form of acknowledgement, an acknowledgement that Su Ming could be considered an equal among them.
When Tian Lin saw veins popping up on Ye Shen Tong's face, he immediately said, "Let's help you, fellow Daoist Ye."
"I don't need your help! I can do it myself!" Ye Shen Tong roared. When he saw that the others had already dealt with their own problems but were still not nervous for him, especially when he saw that even Su Ming, who he looked down upon, had a relaxed expression on his face, he let out a cold harrumph in his heart and lifted his left hand to strike his chest.
With it, a layer of yellow light immediately appeared on Ye Shen Tong's body. In an instant, a layer of mud that was a foot thick formed around his body. As the light shone, layers of mud increased in size, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Shen Tong turned into a gigantic statue of mud that was one hundred feet tall.
The statue lifted its left arm and struck its chest seven times in succession. Each strike caused cracks to appear on its body. After a moment, after all seven strikes, the statue of mud that was one hundred feet tall crumbled with a bang. As it crumbled, a red thread that was still distorting and dull was stuck in the mud as it crumbled.
Ye Shen Tong's face was slightly pale. He stared at the red thread that was stuck in his body and let out a cold harrumph.
"If it wasn't because I wanted to capture a living creature, I would have killed it a long time ago." Yet the moment he finished speaking, the red thread that was still distorting immediately fell to the side and was reduced to powder. This caused Ye Shen Tong's expression to instantly turn sour.
It was also at that moment that whistling sounds came from the distance. Sun Kun charged over with a slightly pale face. There was a small transparent bottle in his hand, and within it was the red thread. However, it was bright red, and it was continuously twisting and crashing against each other in an attempt to rush out of the bottle.
"I spent a lot of effort to capture one alive. I'm sorry for making all of you wait for a long time."
"Just what is this thing?" Tian Lin looked at the red thread in the bottle, then at the seven holes that did not have the courage to spit out any air. He asked in a low voice.
"Shreds of flesh!" The one who answered Tian Lin was Sun Kun.
"It contains life force, and due to the alien race's mighty cultivator being sealed over the countless years, his divine sense spread out and absorbed some of the shreds of flesh that have gained their own will … It should be very tasty." Sun Kun smiled and put away the bottle.
