Chapter 689: Bloodline Awakening, The Seal Re-formed

The life-fires burning within the four Sect Leaders slowly converged in the air, forming a massive Dharma Array.

This Dharma Array presented a perfect circle, a full hundred meters in diameter, suspended above the underground palace.

The edges of the Dharma Array were carved with ancient Runes, each Rune shimmering with pure golden light.

These Runes recorded the four Sect Leaders' lifelong cultivation insights and their persistence in the righteous path.

The Dharma Array radiated a divine glow; this light was gentle yet powerful, making everyone present feel a sense of spiritual tranquility.

More importantly, this Dharma Array began to resonate with the Seal left behind by the ancient Creation God-Monarch deep beneath the earth.

The ground began to tremble slightly, but this was not a destructive tremor; it was a sign that some ancient power was being awakened.

A humming sound came from deep underground, as if something were waking up.

It was the foundation of the Seal left by the Creation God-Monarch back then, now reactivated by the life-sacrifice of the four Sect Leaders.

Xuantianzi's body had already become translucent, and his life force was rapidly fading away.

Yet his gaze remained firm, without the slightest hint of fear or regret.

In the final moment of his life, he used all his remaining strength to turn toward Lin Xuan, his voice weak but clearly audible:

"Lin Xuan! Only you can complete the final Seal now!"

"Use your Creation bloodline to inherit the will of the Creation God-Monarch!"

"Remember, you are not fighting for us, you are fighting for the entire world!"

After saying these words, Xuantianzi's body began to emit an even more dazzling light.

He himself, like a burning candle, gradually transformed into pure light.

These rays of light did not dissipate, but instead all merged into the sealing Dharma Array above.

Jian Wuchen, Wuyuanzi, and Abbot Fahui also transformed into light one after another, converging with Xuantianzi's light.

The four rays of light fused at the center of the Dharma Array, forming a brilliant point of light.

Although this point of light was small, the power contained within it made even the Demon God feel fear.

Watching the sacrifice of the four seniors, Lin Xuan felt a massive shock in his heart.

They could have chosen to flee and preserve their own lives.

But for the sake of all living beings, they chose to give their lives without hesitation.

This spirit of righteousness deeply moved Lin Xuan and made him understand his own responsibility.

Stimulated by this intense emotion, the Creation bloodline within his body began its final awakening.

This awakening was completely different from the previous ones.

Previous awakenings were merely increases in power, but this was a fundamental breakthrough in his realm.

Lin Xuan felt his field of vision begin to expand, no longer limited to the battle before him.

He felt as if he could sense all the living beings in the entire Immortal cultivation world, sensing their fears and their hopes.

Among these beings were his friends and his enemies, but now they were all objects he had to protect.

Golden light surged from within Lin Xuan, completely surrounding him.

In this light, time and space seemed to lose all meaning.

Lin Xuan's consciousness began to traverse time and space, returning to the ancient era tens of thousands of years ago.

He saw the scene of the great battle between the Creation God-Monarch and the Demon God.

It was an earth-shattering battle, with two powerful entities clashing fiercely in the Void.

The Creation God-Monarch was tall and majestic, dressed in white robes, holding a Long Sword that radiated holy light.

Every swing of his sword could tear through space, and every move contained the power to create the world.

The Demon God's appearance was almost the same as it was now, evil and terrifying, and its power was also extremely great.

The battle lasted for a long time, and in the end, the Creation God-Monarch succeeded in sealing the Demon God at the cost of being wounded.

But at the moment of the sealing, the Creation God-Monarch looked back; those eyes, filled with wisdom and compassion, seemed to pierce through time and space, looking directly at Lin Xuan.

"Successor." The Creation God-Monarch's voice echoed in Lin Xuan's heart.

This voice was gentle yet majestic, containing endless wisdom.

"The method of the Seal lies not in the strength of power, but in the purity of the will."

"Back then, I focused too much on the strength of power, which is why the Seal was not perfect."

"You must remember, protection is not for the sake of destroying enemies, but for the sake of protecting those you love."

"True power comes from compassion and great love, not from anger and hatred."

Lin Xuan listened quietly to the teachings of the Creation God-Monarch, and his heart gradually attained enlightenment.

He thought of the kind face of his master, Hunyuanzi, and remembered his friendship with Nezha and Zhang Wuji.

He thought of the innocent villagers in Tianyin Valley, and of all the kind living beings in the Immortal cultivation world.

These people all needed his protection, and they were all worth protecting.

And those who had once been his enemies were merely blinded by hatred.

If hatred could be dissolved, they too could become kind people.

Lin Xuan suddenly grasped the true essence of it all.

His Creation bloodline began to undergo a fundamental change.

More compassion and warmth were infused into the original golden light.

This was no longer a simple power of destruction, but a holy power infused with the will to protect and a compassionate heart.

The color of his bloodline also shifted from gold to a purer white-gold, radiating divine brilliance.

The Demon God sensed the change in this power, and obvious fear appeared in its green, flaming eyes.

It could clearly perceive that the power on Lin Xuan had reached the same level as the Creation God-Monarch.

It was even purer than the Creation God-Monarch of the past, because it had integrated more compassion and great love.

"Impossible! How could you possibly reach this realm?"

The Demon God struggled frantically, attempting to break free before the Seal was completed.

The golden chains above vibrated incessantly under its struggle, and some even began to show cracks.

But it was too late.

Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes; there was no longer anger or hatred in them, only deep compassion.

He walked slowly toward the Demon God, and with every step he took, the light on his body became more dazzling.

This light was not a blinding glare, but a gentle and divine holy radiance.

Wherever the light reached, all evil auras were purified, and even the air became fresh.

"You cannot come near me! I am eternal destruction!"

The Demon God let out a desperate roar, but its voice no longer held its previous majesty.

Lin Xuan ignored the Demon God's threats and continued to walk forward.

When he arrived before the Demon God, he gently reached out both hands and pressed them onto the Demon God's forehead.

The Demon God wanted to struggle, but the power of the Creation Bloodline rendered it unable to move.

"The ancient hatred should end here." Lin Xuan's voice was calm and gentle.

"Rest in peace, and be bound no longer by anger and hatred."

The power of the Creation Bloodline surged from Lin Xuan's hands, perfectly combining with the life sacrifices of the four Sect Leaders.

This power was more perfect than the ancient Seal, because it possessed not only immense strength but also pure compassion.

A new Seal began to form, and countless white-gold chains extended from the Void.

As the Demon God was resealed, the entire extinct volcano began to undergo significant changes.
