Chapter 1093: Cyan Gang Suppression Demon Seal

Boom!!!

The pitch‑black beam and the cyan gang imprint violently collided! There was no earth‑shaking explosion, only a heart‑pounding annihilation of energy! The cyan and black lights intertwined madly, Devour, vanish, erupting a silent shockwave that swept the entire underground space in an instant!

A huge crater was pressed into the lake surface, and the patches of deep‑blue moss on the rock wall turned into fine powder!

At that very moment of the collision's burst, turbulent energy swept the arena, and the tentacle‑grasping onslaught stalled!

"Now's the time!" Han Wuxian's eyes flashed with intensified light, as if he had already foreseen everything!

The brilliant starlight surrounding him did not contract; instead, after extreme compression, it burst outward with a roar!

"Star Flash!"

Buzz!

His figure vanished instantly from the spot! Not a lingering afterimage from high‑speed movement, but a true, star‑like instantaneous displacement!

The countless filthy tentacles that had lunged to strangle, together with the diverted yet lingering pitch‑black beam, lunged at nothing and slammed into each other, producing a deep thud and a hissing corrosive sound, while the filthy energy turbulence splattered everywhere.

In the next instant, Han Wuxian's figure, like a phantom, appeared directly at the edge of the shadowed area beside the black‑robed demonic cultivator, only a stone's throw away from the countless black lines linking the lake surface to the Earth Vein core!

He did not attack the black‑robed demonic cultivator's body, as that would be tantamount to suicide. The shattered star blade in his hand transformed into an ultra‑condensed, icy‑star‑light filament, which, at a speed barely discernible to the naked eye, sliced precisely toward several of the thickest black lines that pulsed with dense filthy aura!

Sizzle!

Like a red‑hot blade cutting through solidified oil, the selected black lines snapped in response!

"Ugh!" The black‑robed demonic cultivator, who had been seated like a rock, let out a painful, angry groan for the first time! The runes on his mask flickered wildly, the connections severed as if part of his power had been ripped away, the surrounding black vapors surged violently, causing the entire dark‑purple lake to roil with a raging wave!

More crucially, the ends of those severed black lines did not spew filthy black vapor; instead, they leaked strands of exceedingly pure, radiant Earth Vein essence, imbued with massive vitality and the pulse of the earth!

This is the primal force forcibly stripped from the Earth Vein core by demonic arts, still not fully polluted or transformed!

This is exactly what Han Wuxian wants!

His left hand had already formed the technique; as he severed the black lines, he thrust it out sharply, fingers splayed, and a miniature vortex composed of pure Dao Mark of light on his palm instantly formed!

"Summon Star to Origin!"

A powerful suction erupted! The stray strands of Earth Vein essence, as if summoned by the star's origin, were instantly drawn, turning into several streams of golden light that ignored spatial barriers and plunged violently into the vortex in Han Wuxian's palm!

Boom!!!

The pure, vast power, like the earth's heartbeat, surged instantly into Han Wuxian's limbs and bones! This force was so massive and so pristine, far surpassing any Earth Vein energy he had previously absorbed! It carried the earth's weight, the vigor of life, and the grand rhythm of the stars' motion!

The "Star Expansion Technique" spun wildly at an unprecedented speed, attempting to guide and refine this torrent. Dao Marks on Han Wuxian's body glowed and flowed with unprecedented brilliance, even emitting a faint low hum as if the stars were cheering.

However, the force was too massive and carried the violent inertia from being stripped by demonic arts. Han Wuxian's body instantly felt like an inflated sack; his meridians throbbed with tearing pain, golden light coursed beneath his skin as if ready to burst out! Moreover, a cold, corrupting evil thought originating from the filthy earth lake, like a maggot in the heel bone, mingled with the Earth Vein essence and frantically eroded his soul!

"Hmph!" Han Wuxian let out a low growl, a strand of fresh blood spilling from his mouth corner, his eyes burning with an almost mad resolve and heat! He forced his stance steady, the shattered star blade held horizontally before him, its tip's star light flickering, pointing at the black‑robed demonic cultivator whose mask runes twisted and flashed with rage after stabilizing from the energy collision's afterglow, and at the other side, the transcendent cultivator whose face had turned pale from the sudden upheaval, eyes interwoven with greed and caution.

The Earth Vein essence surged and collided within his body, bringing tearing pain and explosive power, while the filthy evil thought bit his soul like a poisonous snake. Han Wuxian stood at the center of the raging surge, starlight and filthy black vapor colliding and annihilating around him like the sole light in a storm.

He wiped the blood from his mouth corner, the shattered star blade emitting a clear ringing tone, its edge pointing straight at the two great foes. The voice, amid the filthy tide and Earth Vein's moan, carried a cold, decisive clang like metal striking stone:

"Earth Vein essence, I take it. Want it back? Bring your life to trade!"

Han Wuxian's voice rang like clashing gold and iron, echoing through the tumultuous giant lake space, bearing a resolve that would stake death itself. Inside him, the forcibly seized strands of Earth Vein essence surged like raging lava through his meridians, delivering not only tearing pain but also a colossal, unstoppable force that seemed ready to burst his flesh apart!

The "Star Expansion Technique" pushed to an unprecedented limit, Dao Marks on his body flashing wildly, straining to guide the torrent and incorporate it into his own stellar cosmic cycle. Yet the filthy evil thought mixed within, like a maggot in the heel bone—cold, slick—kept corroding his will, trying to drag this pure earth power into a murky abyss.

"You junior! You're courting death!!" The runes on the black‑robed demonic cultivator's mask twisted and burned in fury, emitting a shrill screech. His seated body quivered violently for the first time; at the severed core black lines, filthy black vapor spouted like a fountain, yet with a hint of uncontrolled turbulence. With this move, Han Wuxian not only stole the Earth Vein essence he had painstakingly refined, but also upset the delicate, fragile balance between his demonic arts, the filthy earth lake, and the polluted Earth Vein core!

"Thousand Filth Poison Cloud!" The black‑robed demonic cultivator's withered finger snapped toward Han Wuxian. Below, the dark‑purple filthy lake surface exploded with a roar, no longer tentacles but a surge of thick, ink‑like black poison cloud exuding a pungent, fetid, corrosive stench!

The poison cloud churned, instantly turning into countless snarling ghost faces and twisted Poison Insect phantoms, spreading over the heavens, bearing a deathly silence that extinguished life, raining down upon Han Wuxian's head! Wherever it passed, even the air hissed as it dissolved, and the deep‑blue moss on the rock wall blackened and withered instantly.

Almost as the poison cloud erupted, murderous intent surged even stronger on the other side!

"Arrogant! Hand over the Earth Vein essence, or I'll leave you a corpse!" The transcendent cultivator's eyes swirled with greed and murderous intent, completely overriding his wariness of the demonic cultivator. The pure, massive Earth Vein power rippling over Han Wuxian's body shone like a lantern in the night, scorching his heart! This one must die! The essence must be taken!

The technique in his hand shifted again, gathering cyan gang qi that was more refined and massive than before; a grander, rune‑covered cyan giant seal formed in the air, and at its base, the ancient large characters "Zhen" and "Mie" radiated a dazzling oppressive aura, directly targeting Han Wuxian!

"Cyan Gang Suppression Demon Seal! Suppress it for me!"
