Chapter 688: Life Sacrifice, The Seal Reactivated

Facing such a fierce attack, the Demon God did not dare to be careless.

It opened its giant mouth and spewed out a mass of black energy mist.

This mist spread rapidly, forming a protective barrier.

The golden thunder pillar of the Taiyi Divine Thunder struck the Demon God first, the power of the lightning exploding into countless sparks upon its body.

Immediately following, the ten-thousand-foot sword light of the Immortal-Slaying Sword poured down like the Milky Way, each strand of sword Qi containing the thousand-year sword intent of the Heaven Sword Sect.

The five-colored light of the Five Elements Annihilation Array converged into a force of destruction, the Five Elements Power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth perfectly fused together.

The Buddha light of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage shone everywhere, countless Buddha shadows striking their palms simultaneously, each palm carrying both compassion and majesty.

Lin Xuan's Light of Creation was the most dazzling, a golden beam of light shooting straight at the Demon God's face like a giant sword opening the heavens.

The attacks of other cultivators also arrived one after another; thunder arts, fire techniques, sword Qi, and palm prints—various spells converged in the air.

These attacks fused together, forming a seven-colored torrent of destruction.

Wherever the torrent passed, even space trembled; this power was enough to move mountains, fill seas, and destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Boom!"

All attacks struck the Demon God simultaneously, erupting with a thunderous roar.

The terrifying energy fluctuations swept through the entire underground palace, causing even the sturdy rock walls to crack in countless places.

Under such a fierce attack, the Demon God let out an angry roar, the sound filled with pain and fury.

Countless wounds appeared on its terrifying body, some deep enough to see bone, others scorched by lightning.

Black blood flowed from the wounds like a waterfall, every drop exuding an evil aura.

As this blood dripped onto the ground, it immediately corroded deep pits.

"Success!" Nezha shouted excitedly.

But his excitement quickly turned to despair.

The wounds on the Demon God's body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

New flesh grew rapidly from those wounds deep enough to see bone, and skin regenerated over the parts scorched by lightning.

In just a few breaths, the Demon God had recovered as if the previous attack had never happened.

"This kind of recovery ability..." Zhang Wuji's face turned pale.

"Even if we can wound it, we simply cannot kill it!"

The Demon God climbed completely out of the deep pit, revealing its full appearance.

It was a giant monster over ten meters tall, its entire body covered in knotted muscles, full of raw power.

Besides its terrifying face, its body was also covered in various evil Runes.

These Runes flickered constantly with blood-red light, each flicker releasing a powerful evil aura.

"Stupid insects, how dare you hurt the great me!"

The Demon God was thoroughly enraged, murderous intent surging in its green, flame-like eyes.

"Since you are in such a hurry to die, I shall grant your wish!"

It opened its blood-red maw, the sharp teeth inside glinting with a cold light.

A thick black aura began to surge from its mouth, filled with the scent of death.

"Breath of Death!"

The black aura swept toward the crowd like a tidal wave, obliterating all signs of life wherever it touched.

The moss on the ground withered instantly, and the hard rock began to weather away.

Dozens of righteous cultivators could not dodge in time and were touched by the Breath of Death.

Their flesh and blood vanished at an astonishing speed, turning into skeletons in just a few seconds.

Even their bones continued to weather, eventually turning into dust and scattering away.

"No!" Xuantianzi's eyes were wide with fury.

These were the elite disciples of the major sects, each one the future of the cultivation world.

Now they were dying tragically before his eyes, his heart twisting like a knife.

But Xuantianzi knew that now was not the time for grief.

If the Demon God could not be stopped, it would not just be these disciples who died, but all living beings in the entire cultivation world.

He suddenly thought of a method, but this method required a huge price.

"Everyone, this old man intends to trade his life for the Seal!"

Xuantianzi suddenly shouted, his voice echoing throughout the underground palace.

Golden flames began to burn on his body; this was the symbol of burning one's life and primordial spirit.

"Although the ancient Seal was destroyed, the foundation remains."

"If there is enough life force as a catalyst, the Seal Array can be reactivated!"

Xuantianzi's words shocked everyone.

Re-establishing the ancient Seal was indeed the only way to stop the Demon God.

But the amount of life force required was extremely vast; relying on one person alone was not enough.

Jian Wuchen immediately understood what Xuantianzi meant.

He looked at the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, then at the Demon God in the distance, and made his decision without hesitation.

"Jian Wuchen of the Heaven Sword Sect, willing to protect the righteous path with this life!"

Golden flames also began to burn on Jian Wuchen's body, his sword intent soaring into the sky.

This sword intent was no longer for attack, but for sacrifice.

Wuyuanzi and Abbot Fahui looked at each other, both seeing the same determination in the other's eyes.

"I, Wuyuanzi of the Five Elements Sect, am willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of all living beings!"

"I, Fahui of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, Amitabha, have no regrets in this life!"

The two began to burn their life force simultaneously, and golden flames enveloped them.

The four Sect Leaders chose to sacrifice themselves at the same time; such righteousness moved everyone present.

Lin Xuan watched the sacrifice of these seniors, tears filling his eyes.

These people could have lived for a very long time, enjoying the longevity of Immortals.

But to save the world, they chose death without the slightest hesitation.

The intense emotional shock caused the Creation Bloodline within Lin Xuan to be greatly stimulated.

The bloodline began to undergo a qualitative change, gradually shifting from its original gold to a purer white-gold.

The will left behind by his master, Hunyuanzi, merged completely with Lin Xuan at this moment.

"Xuan'er, now it is your turn."

Hunyuanzi's voice rang out in Lin Xuan's heart, gentle yet firm.

"Take up the mission of the Creation Bloodline and protect this world."

"Master will always be with you."

Lin Xuan felt an unprecedented power surging into his body.

This was not just an increase in strength, but the inheritance of will and responsibility.

From Hunyuanzi to the successors of the Creation Bloodline throughout the ages, everyone's will converged upon him at this moment.

"I understand, Master," Lin Xuan said softly.

"Your disciple will never let you down."

The life sacrifice of the four Sect Leaders began to take effect.

Their burning life force transformed into pure energy, pouring into the foundation of the ancient Seal underground.

The originally shattered Array of the Seal began to operate once more.

Streaks of golden chains extended from the Void, carrying a sacred radiance.

These chains were thicker and sturdier than the previous Seal.

They moved like spirit snakes, beginning to coil around the Demon God's body.

The Demon God sensed the threat and struggled desperately to break free from these chains.

But the power of the four Sect Leaders' life sacrifice was immense, and the chains bound its movements tightly.

"No! I cannot be sealed again!"

The Demon God let out a desperate roar and began to struggle frantically.

Its power was indeed terrifying; a few chains snapped during the struggle.

But more chains extended from the Void, continuing to bind it.
