Yan Zhaoge looked at the devilish pattern on Chu Lili's forehead. There seemed to be an eye within, traversing through the long river of time, traversing through the boundless void, traversing through the numerous principles and laws to stare at Yan Zhaoge.
That eye was cold and emotionless. It was as if there were no emotions in it, just like the pitch-black and cold universe.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was indifferent as he methodically imitated the gourd, cutting off a small piece of silk and engraving a rune on it, using a secret technique to seal it on Chu Lili's forehead.
The demonic matrix that looked like a crack slowly closed and disappeared.
The problem was not fundamentally solved, but it could at least affect Water Demon's perception of the outside world through Chu Lili's body to a certain extent.
Seeing the crack gradually closing up, Yan Zhaoge did not make any further movements as he stood calmly where he was, patiently observing.
The pair of eyes that had met his before were gone.
However, Yan Zhaoge instinctively felt that an indistinct will seemed to still exist.
However, there was no further movement.
Both sides seemed to be competing in patience.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, whose expression was stern as she nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, then extended his palm, light vaguely appearing on his palm.
As the light shone on her, Chu Lili's body, which seemed to be in a deep slumber, quickly shrank and flew into the light, disappearing without a trace.
"Let's go and meet with Senior Chen," said Yan Zhaoge.
Since the enemy didn't see Chen Xuanzong appear, they decided to endure it for now.
Yan Zhaoge and the others inspected the asteroid belt one last time. After confirming that there were no more discoveries, they left together and headed towards the Domain of Thousand Scales to meet up with Chen Xuanzong.
On the way, Yan Zhaoge was also unceasingly contacting the others.
For a time, the wind and clouds surged, and people, both in the light and in the dark, began to gather in the same place.
After a long journey, Yan Zhaoge's group finally arrived at their destination.
Looking from afar, the dark void suddenly sparkled, as if a long river had appeared.
After getting closer, he could clearly see that it wasn't river water, but streams of light. They were densely packed, as if tens of thousands of giant silver carps had leapt out of the water and then fallen back down.
The streams of light merged into one, and from a distance, it looked like a long river.
This was the place that Yan Zhaoge and the others had meticulously selected and prepared in order to contend against the Evil Devils.
Regardless of whether it was Chen Xuanzong, Chu Lili, or Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen, they would have to seize the opportunity to deal with the situation when their opponents made their move.
Yan Zhaoge and the others had to wait for the other side to make the first move before they would arrive first, grasping the chance amidst the danger.
This meant that he was naturally one step behind his opponent. There was a fifty-fifty chance that he would be able to catch up to his opponent.
Therefore, since he was at a disadvantage in terms of timing, Yan Zhaoge would try to make up for it in terms of location.
Being able to set the location of the duel as their own home ground was naturally better than setting it as a neutral location or even the opponent's home ground, the Nine Nether Abyss.
Previously, when Chen Xuanzong went out to find such a place, Yan Zhaoge was overjoyed.
While water veins similar to the Starry River Tributary were more beneficial for Yan Zhaoge to unleash the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation's power, it would also be more beneficial for the Water Devil under such circumstances. As such, it was inferior to the Domain of Thousand Scales.
After arranging for Chen Xuanzong to wait here, he and the others would bring Chu Lili over. This way, they could ensure that when the enemy made their move, they would be in the Domain of Thousand Scales, and not somewhere else.
Although Chen Xuanzong was worried about Jie Mingkong and Chu Lili, he still endured it and came here first.
"Senior Chen is already prepared." After arriving at the Domain of Thousand Scales, Yan Zhaoge first notified Chen Xuanzong. After a while, Chen Xuanzong replied. After receiving the reply, Yan Zhaoge and the others immediately entered the Domain of Thousand Scales.
After entering the Domain of Thousand Scales, Yan Zhaoge and the others seemed to have lost control of their bodies, and they were constantly shifting between the streams of lights.
Here, time seemed to have stopped, losing its original concept.
Yan Zhaoge and the others seemed to be floating within the river of time, rising and falling.
"Order!" Yan Zhaoge extended his hand and wrote numerous runes in the air, which transformed into clumps of lights that enveloped the three of them. Then, they sank downwards together.
When the radiance in front of them dissipated, the scene before them changed.
Their surroundings were still filled with rays of lights, as if a torrential river was continuously flowing.
From the outside, they seemed to be connected together, resembling a long river.
However, upon reaching the interior, streams of lights were flowing in all directions, resembling the surface of a sphere, which enveloped Yan Zhaoge and the others within.
In front of them was a shiny, jet-black metal ball.
It was as huge as a star, and it was heavy. It quietly hovered within the void, and was enveloped by the streams of lights.
The metallic sphere's surface was smooth and smooth, without any bumps or gaps.
When Yan Zhaoge arrived beside the metallic sphere and extended his hand to touch its surface, a huge rune lit up above the sphere.
Then, the sturdy metallic sphere's shape remained the same. However, its texture seemed to have softened, as if it was a water ball.
Yan Zhaoge and the others immediately passed through the sphere's surface and entered it.
It was pitch-black within, without any traces of light.
However, Yan Zhaoge could clearly feel that someone was already here.
It was the Exalted Water Luminary – Chen Xuanzong.
"You brought Lili over? How's the situation? "Chen Xuanzong's voice resounded from within the darkness," Did you see Mingkong? "
Yan Zhaoge answered, "I didn't see Senior Jie. Senior Chu's condition is still stable, so I added another layer of seal."
"With that, including the Domain of Thousand Scales outside and the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual that we've spent so much effort to create, we have three layers of defense." He opened his palm, and radiances appeared on his palm, "As long as the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil doesn't make a move, we should be able to hold on for a short period of time."
If the other Dao Ancestors gave the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil a chance to personally make a move, losing to him wouldn't be a crime.
"However, if the other Great Devils were to directly attack this place and engage in close combat with us, it would be hard to say if they managed to breach the Domain of Thousand Scales and the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual," said Yan Zhaoge with a solemn expression, "Therefore, we have to hurry up."
From the radiances on his palm, a tiny figure flew out and gradually returned to its original size. It was Chu Lili.
"That's right, we have to hurry …" Chen Xuanzong received Chu Lili's body.
With the radiances on Yan Zhaoge's palm that had yet to dissipate, Chen Xuanzong looked at Chu Lili's sleeping face.
He slowly said, "If that's the case, let's begin."
The radiances on Yan Zhaoge's palm dissipated, and darkness returned.
Chen Xuanzong sat in a lotus position and faced Chu Lili. They sat within the void together.
He formed a hand seal with both of his hands. One of his index fingers pointed towards his forehead, while the other finger pointed towards Chu Lili's forehead.
