Chapter 682: Enemies Gather, A Temporary Alliance

At the same time, in some remote places, they would not hesitate even if it meant paying the price with their lives.

As Xue Wutian's life force was injected, the cracks on the Seal began to expand rapidly.

What were originally just tiny fissures had now become huge gashes.

The evil aura surging from the gashes became even thicker, even beginning to manifest physically.

Black tentacles reached out from the cracks, dancing in the air.

Wherever these tentacles went, everything was completely corroded.

Cracks began to appear on the dome of the underground palace, and huge stones fell continuously.

The entire dormant volcano began to tremble violently, as if some gargantuan entity were about to break through the ground.

"Soon, soon!" Xue Wutian laughed wildly.

His life force had already been mostly consumed, and he looked like a dried corpse.

But he was still desperately burning his remaining life, contributing his final strength to the awakening of the Yuan Gu Moshen.

The collapse of the Seal was accelerating.

The Seal, which could barely maintain its shape before, now only had a few key support points left.

And these support points were also teetering under the impact of the evil power.

The voice coming from the depths of the Seal became clearer, as if the Gumo were speaking right before them.

"Freedom... finally, I am about to regain my freedom..."

"The tens of thousands of years of imprisonment are about to end..."

"This time, no one can stop me!"

"The Creator God is already dead, and his bloodline successor is nothing but a cowardly brat!"

"This world will be reduced to ashes in my fury!"

Hearing these words, the excitement in Xue Wutian's heart reached its peak.

He took out a sharp Dagger and stabbed it into his own heart without hesitation.

"Great Gumo, please accept my final sacrifice!"

Fresh blood surged from the wound, all of it absorbed by the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead.

Xue Wutian's life drained away rapidly, but a satisfied smile remained on his face.

With the injection of his heart blood, the Seal finally reached the critical point of collapse.

"Boom!"

A heaven-shaking roar erupted from the depths of the Seal.

The last few support points snapped simultaneously, and the entire Seal collapsed completely.

Endless darkness surged from the deep pit; that darkness was not a simple absence of light, but a power of nothingness capable of devouring everything.

The underground palace was instantly swallowed by this darkness, and all the Demonic Cultivators still alive were turned into nothingness in an instant.

Even Xue Wutian vanished into the darkness; his wish to offer his life had finally been fulfilled.

"Hahahaha!"

A terrifying, wild laugh erupted from the darkness, the laughter filled with malice toward the entire world.

"I have returned! Tens of thousands of years, I have finally regained my freedom!"

"This time, I will make the entire world pay the price for the Seal of those years ago!"

"From this moment on, the era of destruction has descended!"

The Yuan Gu Moshen had finally awakened.

When Lin Xuan and the other two finally arrived at the outskirts of the dormant volcano, the scene before them left them completely shocked.

The entire dormant volcano was surrounded by a layer of eerie black barrier; this barrier was dozens of meters thick, its surface constantly flickering with blood-red Rune.

These Rune were ancient and evil, each one exuding a nauseating aura, as if written with the blood of countless wronged souls.

Even more terrifying was that the space around the barrier showed obvious distortion.

The sky was twisted into a spiral, the ground undulated like waves, and even the air became as viscous as water.

The entire reality seemed to be trembling uneasily before this evil power.

"A barrier of this magnitude..." Nezha's expression was grave.

"I fear it took the life force of tens of thousands of people to construct it."

Zhang Wuji also felt alarmed: "How long has the Blood Demon Sect been preparing for this day?"

Lin Xuan did not speak, but the Creator bloodline within his body was surging frantically.

The warning from his bloodline was stronger than ever before, which meant the situation inside was critical to the extreme.

"We must break this barrier immediately," Lin Xuan said.

He channeled his Creator bloodline, golden light condensed in his palm, and then he struck the black barrier with all his might.

But a despairing thing happened.

The moment the golden light touched the surface of the barrier, it was instantly swallowed up completely.

Not only did it cause no damage, but it actually made the blood-red Rune on the barrier shine even brighter.

"How is this possible?" Lin Xuan could not believe it.

The power of the Creator bloodline was specifically meant to restrain evil; logically, it should have been able to cause significant damage to this kind of barrier.

Nezha and Zhang Wuji were also unwilling to give up and immediately launched their attacks.

The Fire-Tipped Spear thrust toward the barrier with raging flames, and the Heaven-Reliant Sword released sharp sword Qi.

But the result was the same as Lin Xuan's attack; all attacks were easily swallowed by the barrier.

The defensive power of this barrier far exceeded their imagination.

"This is no ordinary defensive barrier," Lin Xuan said, carefully observing the changes in the Rune.

"These Runes actively absorb the power of attacks and then Zhuanghua them into the barrier's own energy."

"Our attacks are not only ineffective, but they actually make the barrier stronger."

The three of them looked at each other, all feeling a deep sense of despair.

If even their combined attacks could not break the barrier, what other way was there to enter the interior of the dead volcano?

Just then, intense fluctuations of magic came from the distance.

A large group of cultivators was rapidly approaching, led by Xuantianzi of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Surprisingly, this group of cultivators included Sect Leaders from major sects, such as Jian Wuchen of the Heaven Sword Sect, Wuyuanzi of the Five Elements Sect, and Abbot Fahui of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

There were also dozens of Elders and disciples from various sects, an extremely massive lineup.

"Lin Xuan?" Jian Wuchen's expression became extremely complex when he saw Lin Xuan.

There was anger and hatred in his eyes, but even more helplessness and conflict.

He hated Lin Xuan for killing so many righteous cultivators, but now, facing a greater threat, he had to consider cooperation.

Wuyuanzi's reaction was more direct; he clenched his fists, clearly struggling to control his emotions.

"Xuantianzi, are you sure you want to cooperate with this devil?"

"He killed so many of our fellow disciples, and now you want us to fight side by side with him?"

Abbot Fahui chanted a Buddha name: "Amitabha."

"Although Benefactor Lin Xuan has indeed committed grave sins, there is now a greater evil that must be faced."

"The Buddha Sect teaches karma and retribution, but it also emphasizes compassion."

"If we can save more innocent lives, setting aside our prejudices for the time being is not out of the question."

Xuantianzi walked quickly to Lin Xuan, his expression extremely serious.

"Lin Xuan, no matter what grudges we have between us, they must be set aside for now."

"According to my latest divination, the process of the Demon God's awakening has entered its final stage."

"If we cannot stop all of this within today, the entire cultivation world will be completely finished."

Lin Xuan took a deep look at everyone.

Most of these people had once been his enemies, yet now they had to fight side by side.

But he understood that his master's sacrifice was so that he could shoulder the responsibility of protection.
