Chapter 726: A Race Against Time, Each Showing Their Divine Abilities

~7 min read 1,285 words

This treasure vault is hidden deep underground on Ten Thousand Demon Island, in an extremely secretive location.

Normally, it requires complex rituals and multiple clansmen working together to open.

But the situation is urgent now, and there is no time for cumbersome rituals.

Bai Suxue came before a seemingly ordinary rock wall and took a deep breath.

"Clansmen, stand back," she said to the clansmen behind her.

"I am going to burn my bloodline power directly to force the treasure vault open."

An elder clansman said worriedly, "Clan Leader, doing this will cause you permanent damage."

"Once the bloodline power is burned excessively, it is very likely that it will never be able to recover."

Bai Suxue shook her head firmly: "Now is not the time to consider personal gains or losses."

"If the Seal fails, all of us will vanish."

"Compared to the survival of the entire cultivation world, my personal loss is insignificant."

She began to burn the purest power within her Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline.

A silvery-white light surged from her body, and nine illusory tails appeared behind her.

These tails radiated an ancient and mysterious aura, which was the highest manifestation of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan's bloodline.

As the bloodline power burned, Bai Suxue's complexion turned pale.

But complex Runes began to appear on the rock wall, and these Runes flickered with a faint light.

"Crack, crack..."

The rock wall slowly parted, revealing a passage leading underground.

The passage radiated the light of various spirit stones, colorful and magnificent.

"Success!" Although Bai Suxue was weak, her eyes were full of joy.

The clansmen immediately rushed into the treasure vault to search for the required spirit stones according to the list provided by Tianjizi.

Meanwhile, Tianjizi began to set up an Array in the stone chamber where the Seal Core was located.

This stone chamber was even more ancient than the temple outside, filled with the aura of the primordial era.

The walls were carved with characters and symbols from the ancient period, each containing profound meaning.

While recalling memories from thousands of years ago, Tianjizi carefully adjusted the position of every Rune.

"This Rune should be shifted three inches to the left," he muttered to himself.

"The position of that Array Eye also needs to be readjusted."

Lin Xuan stood beside him, ready to provide the power of the Purifying Heart at any time.

"Senior, what do you need me to do?" Lin Xuan asked.

Tianjizi said without raising his head: "Not for the moment; I will set up the basic Array first."

"When it is time to activate the Seal, I will need your purifying power."

His movements were extremely precise; any slight mistake could lead to the failure of the Seal.

Or even trigger a greater catastrophe, allowing the Lord of Nothingness to fully awaken ahead of time.

Sweat dripped from Tianjizi's forehead, but his hands remained as steady as a rock.

Thousands of years of experience with seals played a huge role at this moment.

The work of the Canghai True Dragon and other demon kings in constructing a defensive barrier on the perimeter was equally difficult.

The power of nothingness was highly corrosive, and ordinary defensive spells could hardly withstand it.

"Dragon Breath Barrier!" The Canghai True Dragon opened its mouth and spat out golden dragon breath.

The dragon breath formed a massive barrier in the air, temporarily blocking the erosion of the power of nothingness.

But this obstruction could only be maintained for a very short time, and soon the barrier began to show cracks.

"Damn it! This power of nothingness is too terrifying!" the Canghai True Dragon gritted its teeth and said.

Jin Mao Hou was also resisting desperately, his body becoming even more massive.

"Tiger King Roar!" The earth-shaking roar formed a sonic barrier.

But the power of nothingness could even swallow sound, and the sonic barrier soon dissipated.

"Hold on! We must not let this damned power of nothingness spread!"

Jin Mao Hou roared, the golden fur on his body having already lost its luster.

Overusing his origin power caused his strength to decline rapidly, but his gaze remained firm.

Yin Yi circled constantly in the sky, and multiple wounds appeared on her wings.

These wounds were caused by the corrosion of the power of nothingness and were slowly spreading.

But she still insisted on using wind-attribute spells to try to stabilize the spatial rift.

"Wind King Shield!" Countless Wind Blades converged into a barrier.

"Gale Boundary!" The gale formed a vortex, attempting to sweep away the power of nothingness.

But these efforts could only serve a temporary purpose.

The power of nothingness was spreading faster and faster, and the defensive barrier was in imminent danger.

The evacuation work of Jian Wentian and Yunyou Zhenren was also fraught with difficulties.

The scope of the influence of the power of nothingness was constantly expanding, and panic was spreading among the crowd.

Many low-level cultivators and ordinary demon beasts fell into extreme panic.

Some cultivators tried to flee but did not know which direction to run in.

Some demon beasts lost their minds due to fear and crashed into everything.

But under the organization of the two experts, the evacuation work proceeded in an orderly manner.

"All cultivators below the Golden Core Stage must immediately evacuate to a thousand miles away!"

Jian Wentian's voice spread across the entire sea area via Spirit Sense transmission.

"Cultivators at the Transformation Stage, stay behind to assist with the evacuation work!"

Yunyou Zhenren was also directing from another direction: "Fellow members of the demon race, do not panic!"

"Evacuate in an orderly manner according to cultivation level! High-level demon beasts, help the low-level ones!"

Disciples from various major sects were also assisting with all their might.

Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were responsible for opening evacuation routes.

Other sects of the Righteous Alliance were responsible for maintaining order.

Even some sects that were usually arrogant had set aside their status at this moment to help with all their might.

This might be the largest-scale emergency evacuation operation in the history of the cultivation world.

Tens of thousands of living beings evacuated in an orderly fashion within a short period of time.

Human cultivators and demon race powerhouses were cooperating with such tacit understanding for the first time.

There was no racial prejudice, no sectarian strife, only a common goal.

It displayed unprecedented unity and efficiency.

"Quick! Open all teleportation arrays!" Yunyou Zhenren commanded loudly.

"Prioritize the evacuation of the old, the weak, women, children, and low-level cultivators!"

Every teleportation array was operating at full capacity, continuously transporting crowds to safe zones.

But even with such an efficient evacuation, facing the massive population base, a great deal of time was still required.

And time was exactly the thing they lacked the most.

The black rift in the sky was still continuously expanding.

The leakage of the power of nothingness was becoming increasingly severe.

Large areas on the ground began to disappear, as if wiped away by a giant eraser.

"Speed it up!" Jian Wentian shouted anxiously.

"The spread of the power of nothingness is faster than expected!"

Everyone was racing against time.

Whether the Seal could be successfully rebuilt, and whether the evacuation could be completed in time.

The fate of the entire cultivation world hung in the balance.

And deep within the temple, Tianjizi's Array arrangement had also reached a critical stage.

"In another hour, the basic Array will be completed," he said to Lin Xuan.

"I hope the others can prepare the required materials in time."

Lin Xuan nodded: "I believe everyone will succeed."

"We will definitely be able to stop the awakening of the Lord of Nothingness."
