In the arena, Chu Wuchen grinned maliciously as he tossed the Xuan Tian Seal high into the air. Thick liquid seeped from the cracks in the jade seal, dripping onto the ground and corroding deep, bottomless holes.
"To die under this immortal artifact is an honor for you!" Chu Wuchen's eyes were bloodshot as he frantically activated his demonic power. The Xuan Tian Seal instantly shone with a bright crimson light, and countless twisted runes appeared on its surface, each one seemingly dripping blood.
The entire sky was dyed dark red, with lightning and thunder flashing amidst the rolling dark clouds.
Bai Ying remained standing still, her plain white dress fluttering in the strong wind.
She sighed softly, but her voice carried clearly throughout the room: "The only one who will die is you..."
As she spoke, she took out a lotus-shaped jade seal from her sleeve.
The jade seal was pure white, with layers upon layers of petals. It looked ordinary, yet it exuded a faint Daoist charm.
This is the Kongtong Seal whose form was altered by Bai Ying.
To evade the pursuit of the Huayang Ancestor, she altered the appearance of all her natal magic weapons. Dragon scales became ordinary scales, and the Kongtong Seal transformed into this seemingly ordinary lotus seal.
Upon seeing this, Chu Wuchen was first stunned, then burst into a piercing laugh: "What kind of trash is this, daring to defy the Profound Heaven Seal?"
He laughed so hard he almost fell over. "You think this is children's play?"
The stands erupted in uproar.
The crowd, who had been holding their breath in anticipation, now showed expressions of disappointment. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others sneered repeatedly.
The Third Prince clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms; Xia Yuwei covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of schadenfreude, wishing her older sister would die right there!
Several elderly cultivators on the sidelines shook their heads and sighed, "What a pity, to die so young."
"That's the Xuan Tian Sect's prized immortal artifact!" an old man with a white beard cried out in anguish. "Even a Nascent Soul stage expert wouldn't dare say they could escape unscathed!"
"This girl has no idea how terrifying immortal artifacts are," another cultivator sneered. "She thinks she can fight against immortal artifacts with just some broken seal? That's a complete joke!"
Amidst the clamor of discussion, Chu Wuchen's sinister grin grew even more grotesque. He formed hand seals, and the Xuan Tian Seal trembled violently in the air, emitting a teeth-grinding buzzing sound.
"To die under the Xuan Tian Seal is a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes!" He laughed wildly and suddenly hurled the Xuan Tian Seal.
The moment the jade seal left his hand, the world suddenly changed color.
The once clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and streaks of blood-red lightning flashed through the clouds. The jade seal grew larger in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge mountain. Crimson magma gushed from the cracks on its surface, and the intense heat made the audience hundreds of feet away sweat profusely.
"Go to hell!" Chu Wuchen shouted fiercely, his voice filled with a manic pleasure.
The Xuan Tian Seal pressed down on Bai Ying with earth-shattering force, scorching and distorting the air wherever it passed. The bluestone slabs on the ground shattered inch by inch, crushed into dust by the terrifying pressure.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment when that arrogant girl would be crushed into a pulp...
But at this critical moment—
The lotus seal, which had been looked down upon by everyone, suddenly emitted a soft white light.
As the lotus petals unfurled, a massive vortex of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air, like the maw of a gluttonous beast, swallowing up all the cascading lava.
What's even more astonishing is that no matter how much magma the Xuan Tian Seal spews out, the Lotus Seal accepts it all without hesitation, as if there's another world inside.
"This..." Chu Wuchen's pupils shrank sharply, and the sinister smile on his face froze instantly.
He hurriedly changed his hand seals, and the Xuan Tian Seal suddenly surged with blood-red light, smashing directly towards Bai Ying.
But then something even more unbelievable happened!
The lotus seal grew larger as it faced the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it surpassed the size of the Xuan Tian seal.
The two magical treasures collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. Amidst the surging shockwaves, the Xuan Tian Seal was abruptly blocked in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further!
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The lotus seal, which they mocked as "rubbish," was now radiating a terrifying pressure, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Xuan Tian Seal, a celestial artifact!
"Impossible!" Chu Wuchen roared hysterically, veins bulging on his forehead. He frantically made hand seals, trying to activate the Xuan Tian Seal to break free of its restraints.
However, the lotus seal suddenly shone brightly and crashed down with the force of Mount Tai.
"boom--!!!"
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the Xuan Tian Seal was forcefully pressed into the ground. The crimson light flowing across the seal instantly dimmed, and the magma within those jagged cracks receded like a receding tide.
"Pfft—" Chu Wuchen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning ashen.
He was horrified to discover that the spiritual connection between himself and the Xuan Tian Seal had been forcibly severed by some mysterious force!
"No...this is impossible!" he roared hysterically, his fingers frantically forming hand seals, but he could no longer feel any response from his natal magic weapon.
Before everyone's incredulous eyes, the two large seals shrank simultaneously, transforming into streams of light that flew into Bai Ying's palm.
She actually forcibly snatched the Xuan Tian Seal from Chu Wuchen's hands!
Bai Ying lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the inconspicuous bricks at Chu Wuchen's feet.
There, several almost invisible golden lines were slowly fading away—the very Spirit-Severing Array she had just secretly set up. This array, silent and unnoticed, had completely severed Chu Wuchen's connection with the Xuan Tian Seal.
"then."
Bai Ying looked at the newly acquired Xuan Tian Seal in her hand and threw it away without hesitation.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the Xuan Tian Seal transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Immortal Wei Ji.
The jade seal gleamed in the sunlight. Immortal Wei Ji, his hands trembling, caught the treasure he had lost and found again, and turbid tears rolled down his wrinkled face. He wanted to express his gratitude, but found his throat choked with emotion and he could not utter a sound.
Bai Ying had turned to face Chu Wuchen. The mountain breeze ruffled her white robes.
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Her voice was cold and clear, each word carrying an overwhelming pressure. "If you have none..."
The lotus seal slowly rotated in her palm, its exquisite patterns lighting up one by one. The terrifying spiritual pressure caused the rubble within a hundred feet to levitate.
"Now it's my turn..."
