Chapter 433: Chapter 369: Dark Corpse Control Technique, Seal Failure (Part 2)
As the United Army struggled to stabilize their formation and the battle with the demons reached a fever pitch, the seal team quietly slipped into the inner side of the Azure Wood vine barrier constructed by Dongfang Yu, and the scrolls in their hands began to emit a faint golden light.
The battle had reached its most critical moment.
Compared to the leisurely sealing at the Infernal Demon Sea, this time the scale was several times larger.
seal members formed four phalanxes, each body taut, with Spiritual Energy poised to strike within them.
During the last sealing, there were no demon disturbances around the space portal, but now they had to complete the sealing under the frenzied assault of millions of demons, a difficulty exponentially greater by tenfold.
"Form the formation!"
The leading seal commander gave a low shout, and four ancient sealing scrolls unfurled simultaneously before the formation, the golden runes on the scrolls writhing like living creatures.
The 120 quickly shifted formation, the front row leaders sitting cross-legged, their hands pressed on the scrolls in front; the middle row kneeling on one knee, palms against the backs of the front row; the rear row standing, continuously transmitting Spiritual Energy forward through their palms.
Layer upon layer of Spiritual Energy surged like converging rivers, rushing forward along a fixed trajectory, finally pouring into the bodies of the four leaders.
The faces of the four leaders flushed red, their arms simultaneously lifting, injecting the power of 120 people’s Spiritual Energy fiercely into the sealing scrolls.
"Buzz——"
The scrolls suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light, four masses of golden brilliance coalescing and taking shape in the air, finally transforming into four massive golden seals more than a zhang in length. The surface of the seals was inscribed with mysterious suppressive runes, emitting a pressure as weighty as a mountain.
Following that, the four seals slowly spun in the air and precisely combined into a completely golden giant seal, the top carved with the phantom silhouettes of four mythical beasts, the surface etched with the bold and vigorous word "Seal," a presence of majesty enough to make heaven and earth tremble spread outward.
"Go!"
The four leaders released their grips, and the golden seal hurtled through the air with a sonic boom, pressing firmly towards the nearby space portal.
"Hold the line! Buy the seal team some time!" Dongfang Yu’s voice was hoarse, his Holy Blood Azure Wood lineage operating at full capacity.
The warriors of the United Army saw this and instantly burst forth with their final strength. They knew that for every demon they killed now, the chance for a successful seal increased.
The battle immediately became the most brutal.
Every moment, warriors fell, their screams, the clash of weapons, the roars of demons intertwined, weaving a tragic and heroic battle anthem.
Some warriors were consumed by the dragon breath of bony dragons, leaving no remains; some Spiritualists exhausted their last ounce of Spiritual Energy, torn apart by night demons; some squads died entirely in front of the Azure Wood vine barrier to cover for the seal team.
Cold sweat covered Dongfang Yu’s forehead, his face pale, but his movements did not cease at all.
Walls of thick wooden constructs rose from the Azure Wood vines, layer upon layer surrounding the space portal, their leaves spinning like sharp blades in the wind, relentlessly harvesting the lives of demons.
Lan Qiancheng and other geniuses of the Golden Clan gathered around him, each unleashing their potent bloodline abilities—the golden tiger’s roar repelling charging demons, the Ice Crystal Phoenix flame incinerating groups of low-level demons, and a thunder lion’s claws tearing through the defenses of high-level demons.
Together with Dongfang Yu, they transformed into the last bulwark protecting the seal, resisting wave after wave of the demons’ frenzied attacks.
Qin Tian hovered in mid-air, the aura of the "Eternal Night Dominator" perpetually enveloping the battlefield, suppressing the strength of surrounding demons.
Simultaneously, he continuously invoked [Dark Corpse Control], causing the recently fallen demon corpses to explode, the Dark Energy detonating amongst the demon horde, alleviating pressure on the United Army.
Evolution Points surged like a tide into his body, and Talent Light Spheres orbited around him, flashing enticingly.
But he knew that no matter how many he killed, it was but a drop in the ocean in the face of millions of demons; the true key lay with the seal team.
The members of the seal team ignored the clamor of battle around them, their eyes fixed solely on the golden seal edging closer to the space portal and the Spiritual Energy flowing in their hands.
The sacrifices of their comrades were seen and remembered, and now only giving their all to complete the seal could truly honor the lives lost.
At the moment the golden seal touched the space portal, a powerful suppressive force surged outward.
The irregular edges of the space portal began to shrink slowly, and the faint purple spatial arcs dimmed significantly.
"It worked!" A warrior couldn’t help but cheer, his eyes filled with hope.
Both Dongfang Yu and Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously; as long as they maintained this momentum, the seal would soon be completed, just like in the previous seal battles.
This sealing method was quick, but required more manpower and tested the seal teams’ coordination greatly.
Fortunately, every member of the seal team had undergone hundreds of exercises and simulations, some had even experienced multiple real battles, under their control, the sealing proceeded very smoothly.
However, just as everyone thought victory was assured, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the depths of the space portal. It seemed like a giant beast awakened from eons of slumber, bursting forth with the power to destroy everything.
"Crack——"
The surface of the golden seal was instantly covered with cracks, the once heavy pressure receding like the tide.
