Chapter 685: The Seal Collapses, the Demon God Awakens

"How is this possible..." Jian Wuchen's face turned deathly pale.

"How could his strength increase so rapidly?"

Xuantianzi gritted his teeth and said: "It is the power of the Soul-Devouring Demon Orb."

"He has fused himself with the Demon Orb; although he has gained powerful strength, he has also lost everything that makes him human."

"The current Xue Wutian is no longer a person, but a puppet of the Demon Orb."

Facing such a powerful enemy, most of the people in the righteous Coalition Army felt deep despair.

The strength of the peak Tribulation Transcendence stage was already beyond the scope of what they could resist.

Just as everyone was falling into panic, Lin Xuan walked out without the slightest fear.

The Creation Bloodline within his body resonated intensely when facing Xue Wutian, as if urging him to end this battle quickly.

"Xue Wutian, your ambition ends here!" Lin Xuan shouted loudly.

The golden light of the bloodline soared into the sky from his body, forming a sharp contrast with the evil aura on Xue Wutian.

Two forces, one gold and one black, collided fiercely in the air, erupting with blinding light.

The entire underground palace began to tremble violently under the confrontation of the two's momentum.

"Lin Xuan?" When Xue Wutian saw Lin Xuan, a mocking smile appeared on his twisted face.

"You think you can stop me with just you?"

"Although you have awakened the Creation Bloodline, your strength is merely at the Mahayana stage."

"And I have now reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence stage!"

"The gap between us is like a natural chasm; what do you have to resist me with?"

Lin Xuan did not answer, only quietly driving the bloodline power within his body.

Although the life essence left behind by his master was faint, it played a role again at this critical moment.

The gentle power fused with the Creation Bloodline, causing Lin Xuan's aura to begin climbing steadily.

Breaking through directly from the mid-Mahayana stage to the late stage, and it was still rising.

"This kind of power..." Nezha felt shocked.

"Lin Xuan's strength is still growing!"

Zhang Wuji also discovered this change: "Is the Creation Bloodline really this powerful?"

But Lin Xuan understood in his heart that this was not just the power of the bloodline; more importantly, it was the will left by his master supporting him.

The awakening bought by Hunyuanzi with his life was for this decisive battle.

"Master, please watch me complete the mission." Lin Xuan prayed silently in his heart.

Seeing Lin Xuan's strength rising rapidly, the mockery on Xue Wutian's face turned into anger.

"Impossible! How could you improve so much in such a short time?"

"Even the Creation Bloodline shouldn't have this effect!"

The black tentacles on his body began to dance wildly, emitting an even more intense evil aura.

"But no matter what, you cannot be my opponent!"

"What I possess now is the power of a Demon God, an existence that transcends everything!"

Xue Wutian waved his tentacles, and countless black energy orbs bombarded toward Lin Xuan.

These energy orbs contained the terrifying power of the Soul-Devouring Demon Orb, enough to instantly destroy a mountain peak.

Lin Xuan did not dodge or evade, pressing his palms together as the power of the Creation Bloodline condensed in his palms.

"Light of Creation!"

A golden beam of light shot out from his palms, colliding head-on with the black energy orbs.

The fierce collision of light and darkness erupted in the underground palace, and terrifying shockwaves swept everywhere.

Many cultivators were sent flying by the shockwaves, hitting the stone walls and vomiting blood incessantly.

But Lin Xuan and Xue Wutian remained motionless, continuing this contest of strength.

"Everyone else, listen!" Xuantianzi shouted.

"Lin Xuan is responsible for dealing with Xue Wutian; we must find a way to stabilize the Seal!"

"We must not let the Demon God awaken at this time!"

Jian Wuchen and the others immediately divided their work and took action.

Half of the people assisted Lin Xuan in dealing with Xue Wutian, while the other half surrounded the deep pit, attempting to use spells to stabilize the ancient Seal that was about to collapse completely.

But time was already extremely tight.

The movement in the deep pit grew larger and larger, and the speed at which the black liquid surged out kept increasing.

That huge outline also became clearer and clearer, and one could vaguely see that it was a tall humanoid existence.

Even more terrifying was that the voice coming from the deep pit was also becoming clearer.

"Freedom... finally about to obtain freedom..."

"This time, I will make the entire world pay the price for the Seal of that year!"

The decisive battle between Lin Xuan and Xue Wutian entered a white-hot stage.

The energy fluctuations generated by the collision of the two's power caused the entire underground space to shake violently, and huge stones kept falling from the dome.

The pure golden light of the Creation Bloodline and the evil black aura of the Soul-Devouring Demon Orb clashed fiercely, forming a huge energy vortex in mid-air.

This vortex kept spinning, emitting a terrifying suction force, and everything around it was sucked into it.

"Creation Divine Fist!" Lin Xuan threw a punch, the golden fist shadow carrying the momentum of opening the heavens and splitting the earth.

Xue Wutian waved his black tentacles to meet the attack, countless tentacles weaving into a giant net, attempting to trap Lin Xuan's attack.

But the power of the Creation Bloodline specifically restrained evil; the golden fist shadow easily tore through the black net, striking straight at Xue Wutian's chest.

"Pfft!" Xue Wutian spat out a mouthful of black blood and his figure retreated several steps.

Tiny cracks appeared on the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead fused into his body, and its black radiance also dimmed significantly.

"Impossible! How could my power be suppressed?" Xue Wutian looked at his injuries in disbelief.

Lin Xuan said calmly, "Evil can never triumph over justice."

"Although your power is formidable, it is all external and lacks a foundation."

"My bloodline inheritance originates from the ancient times and exists specifically to counter evil like you."

Although Xue Wutian's strength appeared greater on the surface, his power originated from the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead, an external evil Magic Treasure.

In terms of sustainability and purity, it was clearly inferior to the bloodline inheritance Lin Xuan was born with.

As the battle progressed, Xue Wutian began to show signs of defeat.

His attacks became increasingly chaotic, and the evil aura on his body was gradually weakening.

Conversely, although Lin Xuan had also consumed a great deal, the power of the Creation Bloodline remained stable and continuous.

Every attack was precise and powerful, gradually suppressing Xue Wutian's counterattacks.

"You have lost," Lin Xuan said, preparing to launch the final blow.

The power of the Creation Bloodline gathered within his body, preparing to end this battle once and for all.

But at this critical moment, the deep pit in the center of the altar suddenly emitted a heaven-shaking roar.

"Roar!!!"

This roar was clearer and more terrifying than at any time before, as if some massive existence was about to break through the earth.

Countless thick black tentacles suddenly extended from the deep pit, each one as thick as a water bucket.

These tentacles were extremely fast, instantly grabbing several cultivators who were attempting to stabilize the Seal.

"Ah! Help!" The grabbed cultivators let out shrill screams.

But their struggles soon ceased, because the tentacles were frantically absorbing their life force and cultivation.

In just a few seconds, these cultivators turned into withered skeletons, all their flesh and blood essence devoured by the tentacles.

"Not good!" Xuantianzi's expression changed drastically.
