Now that things had progressed to this point, Zhu Yao had no choice but to bite the bullet. The area inside was very wide, and the deeper they went, the denser the gloomy and cold aura from earlier became. Probably because of Yue Gu's mystic art earlier, their line of sight was very clear.
Zhu Yao cast a few defensive Mystic Arts on herself, and then, with her fastest speed, she headed in the direction Yue Gu mentioned. Occasionally, there would be black shadows flying over. She would not stand on ceremony and direct lightning over, dispersing them directly. These were just devils who had not completely broken free from the seal, so their power was not complete. She could deal with them with ease.
At first, she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to find the extreme point of the first layer of the seal. Only when she went deeper did she realize that she was thinking too much. That place was flashing with red light and floating runes and divine might. It would be hard for anyone not to recognize that it was a seal.
She landed right at the center. This place was already a little dusky. Only when she got closer did she realize that there were already several gigantic corpses lying around the pole. There were dragons, qilins, and even phoenixes. The blood on the ground reflected the light of the seal red.
These Gods were probably sacrificing themselves to protect the seal. Zhu Yao's heart clenched for a moment, as though something was stuck in her throat, and she felt a little sad. Gritting her teeth, she suppressed the tumbling emotions and the fury in her heart, and began to inspect the seal's extremity.
The so-called extreme point of the seal was actually the same as the formation eye of a formation. It had the effect of increasing the seal's effect, but it was also the weakest and most difficult position to defend. She checked and found that the damage to this extreme point wasn't too great. It was just a loss of divine power, so it couldn't continue to operate. All he had to do was fix it a little and inject enough divine power into it.
Without much hesitation, Zhu Yao immediately repaired the damaged parts. Then, she set down layers of defensive formations in the surroundings. She then formed hand seals and stood at the very center, injecting godly energy into the seal once again. The moment she inserted it, Zhu Yao regretted it. Initially, Offering Seals did not require much godly energy, however, she never expected that this seal's extremity point would be this powerful. When she inserted her godly energy into it, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and it could not even stir up a single wave.
However, she couldn't stop. If she interrupted the flow of divine power, the seal would immediately collapse.
Die, die, die, die, die!
How did Master know that she was up to the task?
What should he do now? Could it be that she had to wait for Yue Gu to restore the other seal, before swapping places with her? Could she hold on until then?
"Hehehe … look what I found?"
A cold male voice suddenly rang out, and the surroundings instantly darkened.
A word surfaced in Zhu Yao's mind. The hell.
Five meters away from her, an illusory figure suddenly appeared. It was as black as ink, but there were wisps of black smoke surrounding it. It was such a thick demonic aura. Clearly, this demon had completely broken free from the seal, and its magic power had recovered by more than half.
"I didn't expect there to be a survivor here, and a phoenix at that."
The man's voice was filled with provocation. Every word seemed to carry a bone-piercing chill that drilled into the bones. Zhu Yao could not help but tremble for a moment, and the depths of her heart was instantly filled with rage. She could not help but want to launch an attack.
Zhu Yao knew that this was an instinct that was engraved in the bloodline of the God race, an instinct that would never rest until the Devil race was dead. However, she couldn't move right now. She could only suppress this urge with all her might and focus on activating the seal.
The black shadow instantly floated two steps closer and slowly condensed into a black ball. "Since you're the only one left, why don't I send you off?"
The moment his voice fell, that black demonic ball flew towards her. Zhu Yao instinctively wanted to dodge it, but she endured it. The demonic ball was blocked by the formation she had set up beforehand at a distance of a meter away from her, and instantly dissipated.
"Eh?" That Devil was a little shocked. "You do have some capabilities. It's no wonder you're able to survive until now." The black shadow instantly grew several times larger. A cold wind swept past, and hundreds of black icicles, one after another, came attacking towards the defensive formation.
Though this formation of hers was effective, it was still unable to withstand such continuous attacks. With a creak, it collapsed like broken glass. Just as the remaining icicles were about to fly in, in an instant, countless lightning bolts formed an arc, surrounding Zhu Yao at the center.
Fortunately, she had a backup plan. She set up two layers of formations.
"It's actually of the lightning attribute." That Devil was startled for a moment, and then, he coldly snorted. "Let's see how long you can last for."
The attacks of the black icicles became even more concentrated, as they flew straight towards the lightning bolts. The lightning formation Zhu Yao had set up was a miniature version of the Nine Revolutions Five Elements Lightning Formation outside the Lightning Divine Hall back then. Though she had used godly energy to set up the formation, and its might could surpass that, because she was in a rush, it wasn't as complete as the one in the Lightning Divine Hall. Not to mention that the one outside was a Devil.
As expected, a moment later, when that Devil saw that his attacks were unable to break through, he suddenly released devillic energy that filled the sky. One by one, they wrapped around her formation, attempting to use his devillic energy to devour the lightning bolts.
No matter how strong her formation was, the godly energy she used to set it up was, after all, limited. Adding that she had purposely held back her energy to repair the seal, the lightning bolts grew dimmer in just a few moments. And the dark and cold aura of the devillic energy had pushed her God Race instincts to their limits. Her entire body was tensed up, and she wished that she could go out and destroy him at any moment. However, she had no choice but to endure it. (This feeling is the same as when it's time for an update, but I don't want to write anything.)
As the lightning bolts slowly dissipated, the devillic energy instantly grew out a long black spike, which extended outwards.
It's over, she was going to turn into a hedgehog.
Just when the long black spike was about to touch her, a purple flame suddenly descended from the sky, instantly burning the devillic energy cleanly. Zhu Yao raised her head to look, and in the sky not far away, a gigantic phoenix whose entire body was burning with flames was currently flying. She was the one who spat out those flames earlier.
After the gigantic phoenix saved her, it immediately flapped its wings in the direction where the Devil was standing. In an instant, the surroundings of the Devil were burning with those purple flames as well. Zhu Yao heard a miserable cry, and the figure of that black figure, which was being burned by the flames, dimmed a little.
"Little Seventh, are you alright?" A familiar male voice carried a little anxiousness and nervousness as he asked.
Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, as she widened her eyes. "Little Sixth?"
That phoenix instantly stopped three meters away from her, and said with a sunken voice. "You should be calling me sixth elder brother. Why did you run in here?"
"Master ordered me to repair the seal." Zhu Yao flipped through her memories that had fast-forwarded for four hundred years, and only then did she recall that Little Sixth seemed to have been guarding the extreme south all this while. They had only met once during the inheritance ceremony, so she never expected that he would recognize her.
"Even if that's the case, I will protect you." He flapped his wings, and did not have the intention to return to his human form. The same flames once again burned in the surroundings, and the devillic aura instantly dispersed quite a bit.
Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. With someone protecting her, she could now focus on injecting godly energy.
She did not know if it was because the battle earlier had attracted the attention of the other Devils, or because they sensed that they wanted to repair the seal, more and more Devils were gathering over here. In the beginning, Little Sixth was still very relaxed, but as the number of enemies increased, he began to faintly show signs of weakness.
Zhu Yao, however, could only worry helplessly. More importantly, the godly energy in her body was already decreasing, and there were faint signs of it drying up. However, this goddamn seal's extremity was not reacting at all. If this were to continue, both of them would have to die.
A few minutes later, Little Sixth was unable to dodge in time, and was struck by the Devil. Half of his wings instantly drooped down, and fresh blood spurted out.
With a loud boom, he fell not far away from her.
"Little Sixth!"
He did not stay on the ground for too long. Using his other wing, he flapped it forcefully, and in an instant, a few feathers flew towards the Devil in front of him. "I'm fine."
"Leave this place …" I'm going to find my master.
"Little sister!" He suddenly interrupted her words. "Don't worry, big brother Sixth will protect you well." The flames around his body changed, instantly turning into a sky blue color. His voice, however, sank a little. "Also … Little sister, I'm sorry." After saying that, he charged towards the Devil.
"The hell!" Zhu Yao could not help but curse. I wanted you to call for reinforcements, you know. Why are the birds in this world so hard to communicate with?
Also, he was apologizing for the incident back then when she was still in the shell, right? It was because of his push that caused her to give birth prematurely, and she was unable to grow out her tail feathers. This old lady isn't blaming you, so why the hell are you apologizing for?
Now was not the time to act on impulse, and Zhu Yao did not have the time to call him back either. Only by hurriedly activating this seal could the two of them be saved.
Zhu Yao desperately injected godly energy into it, hoping that her godly energy would be enough to activate the seal. In the depths of her heart, she chanted over and over again. It must be activated, it must be activated …
She could already sense that the godly energy in her body was becoming emptier, until she could no longer squeeze out a single drop of godly energy. Yet, there was still no reaction from the seal.
Zhu Yao placed both of her hands at the center of the seal, and she suddenly had the urge to cry. How could this be? Who the hell designed this extremity? It was definitely illogical! Could it be that she was going to log into the next version here?
She couldn't accept this!
It would be great if she had more godly energy.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her body. The godly energy that was dried up earlier, instantly surged, and endlessly appeared in her body.
Zhu Yao was completely dumbfounded.
The heavens were suddenly treating her too well, and she was unable to react in time. What should she do? Urgent request, waiting online!
Without any time to think, as she injected the godly energy that suddenly appeared into the seal, she carefully sensed the flow of the godly energy. Only then did she realize that the godly energy that suddenly appeared was directly transmitted from the bottom of her feet. The godly energy was simple and thick, and she clearly felt that this energy did not belong to her. However, it carried an indescribable sense of intimacy.
She did not do anything herself, yet, the godly energy seemed to have its own consciousness, as it endlessly entered her body. It quietly and appropriately stayed within her body, and then, she guided it into the seal.
It can't be!
Could it be that godly energy could be charged online as well?
Zhu Yao felt that her brain was a little lacking.
With this godly energy, in less than fifteen minutes, the seal had already been completely activated.
Gigantic engraved runes instantly appeared beneath her feet, and then, they extended in all directions. In an instant, they covered every single place that she could see, and wherever those runes passed by, the devilish energy would completely dissipate.
Only when the runes spread across half of the boundary did they converge with the same runes on the other side.
In an instant, a gigantic formation appeared in the sky. It was circular in shape, and was separated into two halves, one black and one white. It looked a little like the diagram of Taiji. That formation began to spin rapidly, and various terrifying and miserable screams resounded in the surroundings. A gigantic black vortex appeared in the sky, and within the vortex were all Devils that had broken through the seal. As though they were trapped by the vortex, they flew upwards, and finally, disappeared into the center of the formation in the sky.
In less than a few moments, the surroundings had returned to being clear skies, and the devilish energy had completely dissipated.
