In a moment of panic, You You instinctively tried to rush forward, but the entire formation in front of her trembled. Fortunately, Yuan Qi was fast enough to cast a spell and catch the falling Feng Rong.
Youyou then realized what was happening and quickly stabilized the formation, continuing to control the sealing process. The bone dragon, however, showed no sign of stopping. Seeing its attack miss, it summoned a deluge of demonic energy and charged towards them.
Just as the attack was about to hit You You, Yuan Qi, who was far away, was startled. Suddenly, a white light flashed around him, and he appeared in front of You You in an instant. He held Feng Rong in his hand and raised his hand to strike the flying bone dragon. A strange formation that he had never seen before suddenly appeared, and something burst out from Yuan Qi.
The once unstoppable Long Ting suddenly seemed to encounter its nemesis as soon as it came into contact with the formation, letting out a shrill scream.
"Ah!!!" The entire bone dragon was instantly thrown away, crashing heavily to the ground. Even the demonic energy around it extinguished, and it was even unable to get up. "What is that thing?"
Yuan Qi swayed, seemingly exhausted, and knelt down, his face turning deathly pale. Even Feng Rong couldn't support him.
"Hey, are you alright?" Feng Rong could also tell that something was wrong with him.
Yuan Qi didn't answer. Instead, he shouted at You You, "Xiao You, take this opportunity to complete the seal!"
Youyou suppressed her anxiety and focused all her efforts on controlling the crystal array. A continuous stream of energy was drawn out and directed towards the seal. The array, which originally only had one gap, finally closed up, completely covering the entire Demon Mountain. At the same time, the surrounding demonic energy stagnated, and together with the demons who rushed out, it was suppressed back.
"Done." Finally, it's done!
She felt a sense of relief wash over her, and only then did she release the hand seals. Without even checking the seal's effect, she turned and walked towards Feng Rong and Yuan Qi, asking, "How are you?"
The gods and the phoenix clan breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes shining with the light of victory.
"The seal is complete, and the demonic energy is receding!"
"No more demons have come over; the demon realm has finally been sealed off."
"Clean up the remaining demons; we must not let them enter the Three Realms."
"Great, we've succeeded...wait, what's that?!"
Just as Youyou was about to help the two up, she heard a gasp from ahead. The people who were exorcising the demon looked in shock. She instinctively turned her head and saw that the demon mountain, which had been sealed and covered, had not disappeared. Instead, a blinding red light suddenly appeared.
The red light was extremely eerie. The dark sky, which was originally shrouded in demonic energy, was transformed into a blood-red color by the red light, as if a blood curtain was surging over from that direction. Just one glance was enough to give people an inexplicable feeling of fear and dread.
"The seal is complete, so why is that demonic mountain still there?" The gods present were stunned, staring blankly at the red light on the mountaintop. Some even exclaimed, "Look... what's wrong with these demons?!"
Everyone was startled and looked towards the seal. With the seal complete, all the demons who hadn't yet escaped were blocked on the other side. On this side, apart from a few bone dragons, the rest had been almost completely wiped out. They hadn't noticed it during the battle, but now, looking towards the seal, they saw that all the demons had suddenly fallen silent. No longer frantically trying to break out of the demon realm, they stood motionless, staring blankly at the red light in the sky, as if drawn by something.
The once noisy and chaotic battlefield inexplicably fell silent, even the bone dragons on this side were the same. Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition immediately welled up.
"Quick...look, the color of the seal!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone immediately looked toward the large, net-like seal. They saw that the seal, which had originally covered the Demon Mountain with its pure white color, was turning red inch by inch from the top of the mountain, as if it had been stained with the color from the mountain. The red color spread across the entire seal, and in an instant, most of the formation turned into a bewitching red.
"Hahahahahaha..." Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from ahead. The bone dragon Long Ting, who had just been knocked away by Yuan Qi, transformed back into human form and slowly stood up. His face was full of crazy excitement. He stared at the mountaintop and said, "Finally, I succeeded! I have been planning for so many years, and I have finally waited for this moment!"
"What did you do?!" Feng Rong's face darkened as she glared at Long Ting.
"What did you do?" Long Ting glanced back at him, his excitement growing even stronger. "Did you really think that I was sealed here? I wasn't sealed at all; I voluntarily went into slumber. What's sealed in Demon Nether Mountain isn't me at all!"
"What did you say?" Everyone present was shocked.
Long Ting became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes growing even more frenzied, as if he were unable to contain his excitement. "I have been planning for so many years, just waiting for this moment. To awaken the divine power that my Lord Demon God has sealed here! As expected, the power of the Heavenly Maiden and the divine power of the God Clan are not enough. Only the power of the Sage can awaken the power of my Lord."
"You set up a 'Spirit Stealing Array' on Demon Mountain." Yuan Qi instantly understood his meaning. Only the Spirit Stealing Array could absorb the power within the array in reverse. It never intended to truly stop them from setting up the array, but rather to take the opportunity to activate the Spirit Stealing Array and steal the divine power of the saint who set it up. No wonder Xiao Youbu's seal turned red, failing to completely seal off the Demon Realm.
"That's right, how does it feel to be countered by the very formation you set up?" Long Ting laughed even more arrogantly and smugly. "The formation you set up not only can't seal the Demon Realm, but the divine power within the formation can also awaken my Lord's power. As long as we obtain the divine power, we can achieve an immortal demon body and unify the six realms!"
Everyone's expression changed, their eyes filled with horror. A demon god! The seal in the Demon Mountain was actually the power of a demon god! Wasn't that something that only existed in legends?
"Pfft..." Before the gods could react, Youyou felt a surge of blood and qi, and the energy in his body suddenly began to violently fluctuate. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Youyou!"
"Xiao You!"
Feng Rong and Yuan Qi cried out in alarm at the same time. They had come to help the two of them, but instead, they collapsed themselves. An indescribable pain swept over her, and the energy within her body surged even more violently. Even her consciousness began to blur, and suddenly, waves of demonic energy gathered around her.
"Youyou!" Feng Rong hurriedly hugged her, ignoring her own injuries, and tried to cast a healing spell on her, but found it was completely useless. Youyou's face grew more and more painful, and cold sweat poured out of her forehead.
Both of their expressions changed, and they simultaneously recalled Hades' words: Youyou is a demon god, and the power within the Demon Mountain…
