Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's expression was grim, and a hint of azure divine radiance flickered in his eyes. He lightly stepped, and nine water rings instantly transformed into monstrous waves, solidifying into a vast and boundless Extreme Water Domain in the Void Realm, freezing Blood Hell Demon God's dark blue bone claws in mid-air.
Yu Lin flipped his palm, and a water Dragon long whip lashed out from the Void Realm, carrying a biting cold Qi directly towards Blood Hell Demon God's face. The latter's figure retreated rapidly, his bone claws shattering into countless ice shards, but the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.
Blood Hell Demon God let out a sinister laugh, his body surged with blood light, and a blood-colored long spear condensed in his hand, which he fiercely hurled towards Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor.
The spear's tip tore through the Void Realm, and wherever it passed, even the spatial Law was stained crimson, carrying a rich bloody stench and violent blood Qi, as if it wanted to transform the entire world into a sea of blood!
"You're going too far!"
Yu Lin roared, forming hand Seals, and the nine water rings chimed in unison, transforming into a crystal-clear water mirror in front of him. The blood spear crashed onto it, stirring up monstrous waves, and the entire Imperial Palace trembled violently, with mournful wails coming from deep within the earth's Meridians.
"Stop!" Qingdi shouted, his Jianmu roots spreading out, forcefully suppressing the scattered water Dao Law. At the same time, he cupped his hands towards Yu Lin and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu Lin, it's not that we are being impolite. The Netherworld has invaded the Demon Abyss and already devoured it. It is about to invade the Spirit Realm, and a great catastrophe is imminent. If we cannot complete the Chaos Sealing Realm Grand Formation, then the Netherworld mist will sweep through all realms, and no one will survive!"
"The azure water li pearl is the ultimate treasure of the water Dao, and it is the last nine-rank divine object needed for the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation!" Grand Profound Sword Revered held his taijin dao sword, his gaze steady: "We did not intend to seize your Dao object. This Venerable's taijin dao sword will also be offered as the formation's eye."
"What high-sounding nonsense!" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor sneered, water rings encircling his body, his Aura rising steadily, "You few have joined forces to force my hand, yet you call it 'borrowing'? What if I refuse?"
Blood Hell Demon God licked his lips, blood light flickering in his eyes: "Then don't blame us for being merciless."
"Hmph!" Blood Hell Demon God snorted coldly, Evil Qi surging within him, and he once again condensed dark blue bone claws. This time, three giant claws came breaking through the Void Realm from different directions, attacking Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor from multiple sides.
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's expression turned serious, and the nine water rings suddenly fused, transforming into a boundless azure glazed platform.
Boom—
A vast and unparalleled power of water Dao Law erupted from within him. The entire Imperial Palace was instantly engulfed by an endless ocean. Nine water Dragon jade pillars soared into the sky, transforming into heaven-suppressing giant Dragons within the Extreme Water Domain, holding down the four directions!
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol manifested, reaching a height of a thousand zhang, entirely condensed from pure water spirit Origin. Every drop of water contained terrifying Law power. With a raise of his hand, a ten-thousand-zhang tsunami surged into the sky, engulfing all three of Blood Hell Demon God's bone claws, and even the Evil Qi around him was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Damn it!" Blood Hell Demon God roared, Evil Qi surging wildly within him, attempting to break free from the icy shackles.
At the same time, Blood Hell Demon God's blood eyes widened in fury, his Extreme Blood Domain was fully activated, and his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a blood-colored giant.
"Blood Sea Surging!"
Blood Hell Demon God opened his mouth and spewed out. Countless faces in the blood water let out silent wails, transforming into rolling blood currents that surged into the battlefield, forming a blood river that spanned heaven and earth, sweeping towards Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor.
Yu Lin snorted coldly. His Dharma Idol raised a palm and slammed it down, and a hundred-zhang tall water wall rose from the ground, forcefully severing the blood river. Where the two collided, the Void Realm shattered, revealing a pitch-black Void Realm crack.
Yu Lin's Dharma Idol clasped his hands together, and nine water rings rotated in his palm, converging into a vast and incomparable Extreme Water light pillar, pointing directly at Blood Hell Demon God's chest.
"You're courting death!" Blood Hell Demon God roared, and the blood river churned, transforming into a giant vortex, attempting to absorb the light pillar.
Boom—
The light pillar and the vortex collided, erupting in an earth-shattering shockwave. The entire Imperial Palace was almost razed to the ground. Fortunately, the remaining power of the palace protection formation barely sustained it, otherwise it would have long since collapsed.
At this moment, Qingdi and Grand Profound Sword Revered exchanged glances, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
"We can't drag this out any longer," Qingdi whispered.
"Quick battle, quick decision." Grand Profound Sword Revered nodded. With a flick of his sword finger, the taijin dao sword was unsheathed, Sword Qi crisscrossing three thousand zhang, striking directly at Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol's glabella!
Qingdi, on the other hand, formed hand Seals, and the Jianmu Dao Domain instantly expanded. Billions of green sprouts transformed into vines, sealing the space around Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor, firmly trapping him in the center of the Extreme Water Domain.
"You..." Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor roared, his Dharma Idol raising his right hand, shattering the incoming Sword Qi with a single palm. His left hand spread its five fingers, raising monstrous waves to shred the vines.
However, at this moment, Blood Hell Demon God finally broke free from the ice Seal. Seizing the opportunity while Yu Lin was distracted, he pierced through his Dharma Idol's left arm with a claw, and dark blue Evil Qi rapidly spread along the wound!
"Ah—" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor roared, his Dharma Idol's arm instantly froze, then shattered into countless ice crystals.
Blood Hell Demon God seized the chance to strike, his sea of blood transforming into a giant net, completely enveloping Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol. Tens of millions of resentful souls shrieked as they lunged towards his main body.
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He fiercely activated the azure water li pearl within his body, and the entire Extreme Water Domain instantly boiled. In an instant, the world lost its color, and all sounds ceased. The blood river, Evil Qi, vines, Sword Qi—everything was frozen in place, and even time seemed to stop!
"You want to seize my azure water li pearl?" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's voice was as cold as a blade: "Then you'll have to ask if my cultivation agrees first!"
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the azure water li pearl suspended between his eyebrows. The azure treasure pearl instantly burst forth with dazzling blood light, and dense Dao patterns appeared within its originally crystal-clear body—it was actually an ancient water god's forbidden art imprint!
"Water Burial of the Heavens!"
Following the hoarse roar, Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's thousand-zhang Dharma Idol solidified, and a terrifying water spirit storm swept across the eight wastes. Qingdi's Jianmu vines were instantly shredded into dust, and Grand Profound Sword Revered's Sword Qi rainbow shattered inch by inch like glazed glass. The closest Blood Hell Demon God's half-body directly vaporized, and the tens of thousands of resentful souls unleashed by Blood Hell Demon God turned into green smoke amidst their shrieks.
"Burning Origin, you scoundrel, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Qingdi's expression changed drastically. His Jianmu Dao Domain was torn into countless fragments, his roots snapped, and green sprouts withered. He forcefully stabilized his figure and shouted in a low voice: "We can't drag this out any longer! He's already burning his Origin. If we give him another moment to fully evolve the forbidden art, we might all be buried here!"
"Yu Lin, you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!" A cold light flashed in Grand Profound Sword Revered's eyes. The taijin dao sword in his hand erupted with dazzling golden light, Sword Qi crisscrossing three thousand zhang, striking directly at Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol.
Blood Hell Demon God reached out, and tens of thousands of resentful souls condensed into a giant blood spear, carrying monstrous blood flames, and once again blasted towards Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor!
"Netherworld Evil Abyss!" Blood Hell Demon God also exerted all his strength. Evil Qi surged around him like a sea. He slapped out a palm, and the Void Realm collapsed, forming a giant dark blue vortex that completely swallowed Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol!
The powers of the five strong individuals collided again. Heaven and earth shattered, Laws were chaotic, and the entire Imperial Palace crumbled under the terrifying pressure, turning into dust!
However, just as Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor was about to complete the last forbidden art.
Qingdi suddenly bit the tip of his finger, and the Jianmu Dao Domain changed accordingly. Roots instantly burst forth from all directions, wrapping around Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's body, forcefully interrupting his spellcasting!
"Seal!" Qingdi shouted!
Grand Profound Sword Revered seized the opportunity to swing his sword, severing Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Dharma Idol's head with a single strike. The Sword Qi penetrated his main body's Sea of Consciousness, forcing out the azure water li pearl.
Blood Hell Demon God and Blood Hell Demon God struck simultaneously. The blood spear and Evil claws simultaneously pierced into Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's chest, fiercely tearing his Origin and severely wounding him, leaving him unable to retaliate.
"You..." Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor suffered successive injuries, spitting out mouthfuls of essence blood. The divine radiance in his eyes dimmed, and the azure water li pearl flew out from between his eyebrows. Qingdi swept his sleeve, easily taking it.
Boom—!
With a loud bang, Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's thousand-zhang Dharma Idol collapsed, transforming into a sky full of water mist. His main body, heavily injured, was suppressed by the combined efforts of the four strong individuals. Chains emerged from the Void Realm, coiling around his body, constructing a Dao Domain cage jointly built from Jianmu, taijin, blood crystals, and Evil Qi!
"You..., you all, will not die a good death!" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor struggled, his eyes filled with resentment. If not for his old injuries not yet healed, those four heavily injured fellows would definitely have been unable to deal with him.
"The azure water li pearl is in hand, let's go!"
Qingdi looked at everyone and urged.
Qingdi waved his sleeve, and a Qingyu light boat grew against the wind, suspended above the shattered Imperial Palace. The boat body was covered with Jianmu Dao patterns, and its prow, like a Dragon's head, was raised high, exhaling spiritual mist.
"Go!"
Grand Profound Sword Revered let out a low shout, and his figure transformed into a golden light, sweeping into the boat.
Blood Hell Demon God and Blood Hell Demon God followed closely, each retracting their Aura and stepping into the boat. Qingdi finally looked back at the suppressed Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, but he eventually flicked his sleeve and boarded the boat.
"Boom—"
The Qingyu light boat erupted with brilliant divine light, tearing through the Void Realm, and instantly vanished into the horizon.
...
Deep within the ruins of the Imperial Palace, within the Chaos Seal cage, Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor was covered in blood, his Aura weak. He struggled to raise his head, looking in the direction the four had left, his eyes filled with towering hatred.
"You... how dare you..." Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor whispered hoarsely, his voice filled with endless fury.
However, just as Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor struggled to mobilize the remaining water Dao Law within his body, trying to break free from the four individuals' Dao Domain, suddenly, a wisp of strange white mist quietly seeped out from the power of the Dao Domain Seal. The white mist wriggled like a living creature, silently clinging to his body and drilling into his damaged Meridians.
"Hmm?" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor suddenly became alert, but it was too late.
As soon as the white mist entered his body, it was like a maggot in the bone, rapidly spreading throughout his limbs and bones. Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's pupils suddenly constricted, and an unprecedented coldness corroded his Divine Soul—that was the power of the Netherworld!
"Nether... Netherworld mist! Damn it! The Origin power of those four fellows was actually contaminated!" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor was horrified in his heart. He wanted to circulate immortal power to resist, but his magical power within his body had already been suppressed by the Seal, making it impossible to mobilize.
The white mist churned, gradually condensing into a blurry face, whispering in his Sea of Consciousness:
"Do you hate? Do you resent? They took your supreme treasure, destroyed your Dao Foundation, and suppressed you here... Are you willing to accept this?"
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor's Divine Soul trembled violently. His originally clear Dao Heart gradually wavered under the erosion of the Netherworld mist. In the depths of his eyes, the azure divine radiance was replaced by wisps of white Netherworld Qi, and his originally handsome face also showed sinister patterns.
"Accept me... I can give you power... to let you get your revenge..."
The voice of the Netherworld mist was like demonic music piercing his ears, constantly impacting his will.
"Get... get out of my Sea of Consciousness!" Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor roared, but his resistance grew weaker and weaker.
Finally, under extreme resentment and unwillingness, his will was completely shattered.
"Boom—"
A monstrous Netherworld Qi erupted from within him. The Seal of the four extreme Dao powers trembled violently, and was actually torn apart by him!
Jade Unicorn Immortal Emperor slowly stood up, his body entwined with a strange Aura interwoven with white mist and dark blue water light. His eyes had completely turned grayish-white, and a chilling smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
——————
On the other side, the Qingyu light boat broke through the Void Realm, streaking across the Starry Sky like a Streamer, and in an instant, it had returned outside the realm passage.
Before the boat had even stopped, Qingdi had already stepped out with a flick of his sleeve, holding an azure treasure pearl in his palm. Water patterns rippled within the pearl, as if rivers and seas were surging, it was precisely the azure water li pearl!
"I have not failed the mission!" Qingdi said in a deep voice, raising his hand and waving. The azure water li pearl transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Star Dome Old Ancestor.
A sharp glint flashed in Star Dome Old Ancestor's eyes. He swept his sleeve, taking the treasure pearl into the Starry Sky formation diagram. In an instant, the water light at the northern formation eye surged, and the vast water spirit power echoed with the other nine-rank divine objects.
Star Dome Old Ancestor's gaze swept over everyone. He saw that Qingdi and Grand Profound Sword Revered's Aura were slightly chaotic, and Blood Hell Demon God and Blood Hell Demon God's Evil Qi was surging, clearly having experienced a fierce battle.
"That old fellow Yu Lin, as expected, wouldn't easily hand over the azure water li pearl." Blood Hell Demon God snorted coldly, his body churning with blood Qi, clearly having sustained some injuries.
"Hmph, if not for his old injuries not yet healed, even if the four of us joined forces, we might not have been able to take him down so quickly," Blood Hell Demon God said sinisterly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Qingdi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Circumstances demand it. After the great catastrophe passes, we will apologize to him!"
Grand Profound Sword Revered's expression was grim, and he said nothing more, only his gaze fell on the end of the Demon Abyss Channel, and he said in a deep voice: "The ten great Dao have been completed, we can begin setting up the formation!"
"Everyone, begin setting up the formation. I will set up the formation with Star Power. You all wait for the opportune moment to release the nine-rank divine objects and guide them into the formation," Star Dome Old Ancestor nodded, forming hand Seals, and the Star Power around him surged.
The next moment, Star Dome Old Ancestor took a step forward, and starlight bloomed beneath his feet. The entire Void Realm suddenly lit up with billions of stars, like a vast Starry Sky map unfolding. He formed hand Seals, chanting ancient incantations. With every word that fell, stars shifted, and Laws trembled.
"Billions of stars, heed my command—"
With Star Dome Old Ancestor's low shout, a brilliant Starry Sky disk flew out from his sleeve, growing against the wind, suspended above the Demon Abyss Channel. It condensed Star Power, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang formation diagram. On the formation diagram, thirteen formation eyes lit up in sequence, corresponding to the thirteen great Dao Laws, just waiting for the nine-rank divine objects to return to their positions!
"Everyone, quickly offer your nine-rank divine objects!" Star Dome Old Ancestor looked at the extreme Dao strong individuals and the Demon Gods, urging them anxiously.
Qingdi was the first to act. With a wave of his sleeve, the Jianmu spirit seed flew out and landed in the eastern formation eye. In an instant, emerald divine light soared into the sky, and countless Spiritual Roots spread from the Void Realm, rooting in Chaos, stabilizing the formation's Foundation.
Grand Profound Sword Revered looked at his taijin dao sword with reluctance, then waved his hand, pointing it. It transformed into a golden long rainbow, directly entering the western formation eye, and the sharp Qi of extreme gold emanated.
Celestial Venerable Fentian snorted coldly, holding up a ball of crimson flames in his palm—it was the burning heaven phoenix flame. A Fire Phoenix phantom let out a long cry, flapping its wings and flying into the southern formation eye. The scorching fire light instantly incinerated the surging Netherworld mist.
Mind Clarity Holy Monk clasped his hands together, and Buddha light shone brightly. A golden and brilliant Buddhist relic flew towards the Karma formation eye. Tens of thousands of Karma threads intertwined into a net, stabilizing the great formation's Foundation.
