Chapter 2569: Locked

Xu Jie wore a look of pride, as if everything in the world lay within his grasp.

He secretly pondered in his heart.

"If even that Demon God can think of it, how could I, Xu Jie, not know?"

"You know, he's famous for his deep scheming and surpassing wisdom."

"In fact, long ago, Xu Jie had already carefully modified and perfected this spell."

"Originally, whenever any living creature tried to pass through the light gate at the entrance, the crack produced there could not close on its own."

"However, now this restrictive factor has completely vanished."

"That is to say, even if a living being is now passing through the entrance light gate, Xu Jie, as a Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child, can still rely on his formidable strength to forcibly seal it."

"Thus, those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons who fantasize about using the crack in the entrance light gate to escape this place are merely daydreaming—they will absolutely never succeed."

"Xu Jie's mouth corner slightly rose, revealing a grim cold smile, his eyes fixed on the gradually narrowing gap before him."

"Meanwhile, as the entrance space continually shrinks, the predicament faced by those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons attempting to break out of the Mining Domain via this passage grows ever more severe."

"Obviously, as time passes, the usable passage becomes ever narrower and more cramped, making a successful breakout nearly as hard as climbing to heaven."

"Just then, a leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, heedless of everything, lunged wildly toward the gradually closing crack……"

"At this critical moment, something unexpected happened—the crack suddenly began to contract sharply."

"It was as if an invisible pair of large hands gripped everything, mercilessly squeezing the surrounding space."

"And this unfortunate Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon happened to become the victim of this change."

"It was seen that, after great effort, it managed to squeeze its upper body out of the crack at the entrance light gate, but its lower half remained deeply trapped within."

"In an instant, its waist felt as if clamped by iron tongs, unable to move."

"No matter how hard it struggled to twist its body, it could not free itself from the crack's binding."

"Damn it."

"This powerful leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon couldn't help but burst out cursing."

"It tried with all its might to break free of the bonds, to keep charging forward or retreat backward."

"But the crack, which should have opened or closed with its movements, now was as solid as forged steel, utterly unresponsive to any struggle."

"Actually, such a situation is not surprising."

"You see, this passage was set up by a Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child employing a profound spell; its power is so great that even that terrifying Demon God is helpless and finds it hard to break through."

"Now, facing such a predicament, this leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon naturally is also helpless."

"Thus, this poor creature was stuck here, unable to advance or retreat."

"It could not move forward even half a step, nor retreat the slightest bit; it could only watch helplessly as it was trapped in this narrow gap, enduring endless torment."

"Moreover, because this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's body blocked the way, the entrance light gate was completely sealed."

"Those other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons that had been restless inside the Mining Domain, trying to break out of their cage, are now also firmly trapped inside, with no escape."

"Even that Demon God of supreme strength now finds himself in the same predicament."

"At this moment, the entire force has been completely trapped, with no way to escape."

"That Demon God stood there like a mountain, emanating a palpably terrifying aura."

"His cold, merciless gaze was like icy frost, fixed firmly on the light gate at the entrance."

"When he finally saw the situation clearly, he instantly flared with anger, his eyes wide and nearly bursting."

"What the hell are you up to?"

"The Demon God's hair stood on end with rage, his voice booming like a great bell as he demanded an answer."

"However, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon stuck in the light gate showed no response—after all, at this moment its upper half was still outside the gate, so how could it possibly hear the Demon God's roar and reply?"

"After receiving no reply, the Demon God's patience vanished instantly."

"You know, this is precisely the critical moment for a breakout."

"The lives and deaths of all the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons hang by a thread; if they cannot successfully break through the encirclement, they will surely be annihilated."

"At such a crucial juncture, how could we allow a minor mishap to ruin the battle plan we've painstakingly devised for so long?"

"Even if this mistake came from his own most capable subordinate leader, the Demon God would absolutely not show the slightest mercy."

"Thus, the Demon God, without hesitation, stretched out a huge palm like a cattail fan and firmly grasped the thick thigh of that leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."

"Then, he suddenly exerted force and swung, as if he wanted to tear apart heaven and earth......"

"And indeed, the facts proved that things developed exactly as expected."

"As the Demon God strained with all his might in a mighty pull, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon trapped at the entrance light gate, unable to move, finally could not withstand the tremendous force and let out a heart-rending wail."

"In an instant, its lower half was seen to be forcibly torn away from its upper half."

"As if ripped apart by an invisible giant hand."

"In an instant, scarlet blood spurted everywhere, like a bloody rain shower enveloping the surroundings."

"Yet astonishingly, despite losing its lower half, the upper half of that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon remained firmly lodged in the entrance light gate, showing no sign of loosening."

"The entrance light gate remained tightly sealed, unable to open."

"What's worse, just as the Demon God's face darkened and his eyes flared with rage, that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon suddenly began to display a miraculous ability—Limb Regeneration."

"As a leader-level being, possessing such a skill is naturally no problem."

"After all, even the human race has mastered similar methods."

"However, witnessing this scene now—especially seeing the rapidly forming lower half, like a newborn—caused the Demon God's complexion to instantly turn blacker than the bottom of a pot."

"What the hell is this guy up to? He's already like this, yet he still thinks about limb regeneration?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"The Demon God could no longer contain his inner fury, roaring at that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon."

"This Demon God is truly numb."

It acted without hesitation, even sacrificing this leader‑level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, just to keep it from blocking the entrance light gate, right?

Now the entrance light gate remains blocked, yet it actually employed Limb Regeneration.

It let the lower half that had been torn off grow back again.

What a stupid move, you fucking…….

This Demon God is utterly consumed by rage, and there are still so many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons waiting to charge out and break through to escape—how are they supposed to get out with you blocking the door?

Thinking this, the Demon God, without a word, immediately tore off the lower half of that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon again.

It let out an angry roar.

"Make way for me."
