Within the deep abyss, the roars of dragons resounded unceasingly. However, they were no longer grand and majestic, mighty and vigorous as they were instead filled with a brutal killing intent.
The nine one-eyed black dragons locked down space together, unceasingly devouring all life force other than the death qi within the deep abyss.
The massive bodies of the dragons whose length was measured in 'li' were now taut, their tails tied to the massive door down below as they tugged forcefully.
As the nine dragons opened the door, it shook unceasingly.
After the radiance was no longer dazzling, looking over carefully, that door was clearly formed of pure white bones, and from their shape, they were all dragon bones.
Absorbing the essence of life force, the lifeless dragon gate seemed to glow with life once more as it gradually showed signs of opening.
However, wanting to completely open this massive dragon gate, abundant life force was required.
Yan Zhaoge could feel that his Northern Ocean Clone's life force was shockingly currently being depleted in a great amount.
Lin Qiancheng's entire body transformed into a faint shadow, virtually undetectable amidst the deep abyss that was filled with dense black fog.
His voice seemed to resound simultaneously from every corner, "I believe that there will definitely be smart people who will be able to deduce that I have come to the Bewildering Maze Sea, attempting to locate the dragon tomb."
"However, your intelligence will send you to the place I wish you to be. The one who arrives first will be able to help me open the dragon tomb."
Amidst his words, Lin Qiancheng circulated his Illusory Shadow Demonic Art to the maximum, evading the attacks of the nine black dragons.
Yan Zhaoge was well aware that Lin Qiancheng's words were actually not just for the sake of a moment of pride. Instead, he was intentionally angering him.
If his and the Northern Ocean Clone's minds were unstable, even attempting to attack him, it would be even easier for the black dragons within the deep abyss to devour their life force, hastening their deaths.
Yan Zhaoge smiled coldly, not speaking as he got the Northern Ocean Clone to guard himself, preventing his life force from leaking out with all his might.
Meanwhile, he himself drifted towards that clump of black shadow that Lin Qiancheng had transformed into.
Lin Qiancheng said mildly, "If you refine that clone of the Northern Ocean Martial Saint Zhuang Kun, you might still be able to threaten me."
"Even though my body is weak now, even though you yourself are brimming with talent, it is still too early for you to think of doing anything to me."
Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, "Save it. If my Northern Ocean Clone were to attack you now, he would be unable to defend his life force first, being sucked dry by this Nine Dragons Devouring Heavens Ritual."
Lin Qiancheng said, "You are indeed an extraordinary young man, but so what?"
"If you do it yourself, your life will also be devoured by the sacrificial ritual. Moreover, I have completely transformed into a netherworld phantom. You can't hurt me."
"As time passes, your Martial Sacred's clone will eventually become the sacrifice to open the Dragon Gate."
"Without that Martial Saint Doppelganger, you won't be affected by the Nine Heavens Devouring Nine Dragons after the ritual ends. You won't be able to escape from me."
Lin Qiancheng's voice was calm and certain. "From the moment you chased me into this place, everything was already destined."
"A burial ground where dragons enter the sea. What a great opportunity this is. Do you know how many dragons are buried here?"
"Ten? A hundred? Let me tell you, far more than that! "
"Believe me, to be able to attend this grand event and open the Dragon Gate is already something that you should be proud of for the rest of your life."
"Although, you don't have the rest of your life."
Yan Zhaoge was not flustered or angered as the corners of his mouth arched slightly upwards, revealing a hint of a smile, "Everyone is the same. Let us work together."
"Don't you just want to provoke me into making a move, watching as I reap what I sow, dying beneath this Nine Dragons Devouring Heavens?"
Coming near the black shadow, Yan Zhaoge raised his palm, "As you wish, I'm here."
As Yan Zhaoge advanced and raised his palm, his life force grew more and more unstable, being devoured at an accelerated rate by those nine one-eyed black dragons.
Yan Zhaoge's skin even began gradually losing its lustre, turning ashen, showing signs of shrivelling and aging. His originally shiny black hair also began to dry up.
However, Yan Zhaoge's expression did not waver in the slightest. As he raised his right hand upwards, forming a fist-seal, everything seemed to come to a halt for just that one moment.
A feeling of danger suddenly arose within Lin Qiancheng's heart.
Yan Zhaoge's right fist descended from above, its target precisely towards the illusory figure formed of Lin Qiancheng!
The feeling of danger within Lin Qiancheng's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Logically speaking, even though Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base far surpassed martial practitioners of the same cultivation level, he, Lin Qiancheng, was currently executing the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art with all his might as a Martial Saint, not seeking to injure his enemy, only seeking to transform and protect himself. Yan Zhaoge should not be able to do anything to him.
However, Lin Qiancheng currently felt as though a great calamity was about to befall him.
That feeling was like the heavens and earth before him had arrived at the end of the world, all things perishing together as they were completely destroyed!
The heavens and earth before Lin Qiancheng's eyes seemed to be collapsing and overturning, everything falling into chaos.
Everything seemed to be reversing in reverse.
Above Yan Zhaoge's head, numerous essence talismans congregated, transforming into a massive spirit formation which manifested Yan Zhaoge's fist-intent as it circulated.
As Lin Qiancheng gazed over, that fist-intent formed an illusory world of light. However, everything within this world of light shockingly seemed to be reversing and reversing!
Cyclic Heavenly Seal!
This fist of Yan Zhaoge's focused on intent rather than force, not on the majestic power of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal that could overturn the heavens and the earth. Instead, it was the profundities of its concept, the essence of reversing the two extremities of yin and yang.
Lin Qiancheng's Illusory Shadow Demonic Art currently posed no threat to the outside world as he was only fully focused on developing his own concept and variations in his divine abilities in order to resist the Nine Dragons Devouring Heavens.
Disturbed by Yan Zhaoge's Cyclic Heavenly Seal at this moment, the illusory figure formed of Lin Qiancheng instantly became bright at times whilst dim at others.
Beneath the reversal of the two extremities, Lin Qiancheng's figure actually began gradually becoming clearer, turning from illusory to solid once more!
Amidst the black silhouette, Lin Qiancheng's face gradually appeared. Even with his usual composure, he was greatly shocked at this moment, not having thought that Yan Zhaoge would actually be able to break through his Illusory Shadow Demonic Art.
Looking at Lin Qiancheng, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "You are a Martial Saint. If not for the inherent shortcoming of the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art, causing you to be extremely weak now, I would also not have been able to drag you out of that illusory scene so easily."
"Still, since you chose to come to this Bewildering Maze Sea today, don't blame me for taking your life while you're down."
Lin Qiancheng discovered to his shock that, under the influence of Yan Zhaoge's Cyclic Heavenly Seal, not only had his illusory form been broken through, he had gradually regained his physical form.
The essence qi of lifeforms that he had plundered had transformed into dark devilish qi, originally being rather compatible with the death qi of the deep abyss.
Now, however, it had actually regained its vitality.
This was even more attractive to those nine one-eyed black dragons than the Northern Ocean Clone.
The main target of the Nine Dragons Devouring Heavens instantly shifted from Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone to Lin Qiancheng!
Greatly enraged, Lin Qiancheng simply summoned his strength, striking out towards Yan Zhaoge with a palm, wanting to force back Yan Zhaoge's Cyclic Heavenly Seal.
However, Yan Zhaoge did not evade at all, the momentum of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal not changing as he instead raised the Earth Devouring Burner with his other hand, dispelling Lin Qiancheng's devilish palm.
Lin Qiancheng's heart sunk. With this proactive attack, his power became even more unstable as it was unceasingly absorbed by the Nine Dragons Devouring Heavens.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Come, Evil Saint! Let us witness this grand occasion together!"
