Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 270 - 268: Heaven-locking Seal
Pft!
Xu Yang’s expression changed drastically, his eyes bulged with fury as he roared, "Bitch!"
"Courting death!"
Huangfu Shaoyao’s face darkened, letting out a cold snort.
Boom!
Xu Yang felt as if struck by thunder, spitting a bloody arrow from his mouth, his aura thrown into chaos and growing unsteady.
He could not care about anything else now, and hurriedly examined his Sea of Consciousness internally.
The defenses of the Sea of Consciousness had been completely torn apart. The green little insect rushed in and, in a flash, exploded!
Boom!
As if tens of thousands of dust-sized lights and shadows erupted in a torrent, flooding the Sea of Consciousness.
The impact brought excruciating pain, both physical and spiritual, nearly making Xu Yang grind his teeth to pieces. He endured, refusing to make a sound.
He clenched his five fingers into his palm, piercing the skin—warm blood oozed out!
Huangfu Shaoyao crossed her arms, watching the scene with a faint smile. "These are Soul-Gathering Insects. They’ve consumed the spiritual intent of over ten thousand Martial Artists. Once released, myriad souls rampage..."
It’s as if the will of ten thousand Martial Artists rushes into your soul, stirring chaos, entangling persistently, leaving you lost, spirit shattered and will scattered!
What a vicious woman!
Xu Yang gnashed his teeth, madness surging in his chest.
"Heaven-Locking Divine Chain!"
Six chains manifested in the Sea of Consciousness.
Yet under the impact of ten thousand wills, they immediately trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
Enduring torture of the flesh, Xu Yang simultaneously distilled the cultivation method of the final Heaven-Locking Divine Seal in his mind.
Spirit Lock Seal, Lock God Seal, Heaven-locking Seal—the final seal, only cultivable with strength at least at the Myriad Phenomena Realm!
Now, with his power, he was more than qualified!
This Heaven-locking Seal, he’d originally planned to use it against the ’Calm’ blood mark in his Sea of Consciousness!
The ancient, profound technique surged forth.
Xu Yang shuddered all over; in that instant, the torturous agony within the Sea of Consciousness lessened somewhat.
"Devour, devour for me!"
Xu Yang suddenly regained clarity and grit his teeth, growling low.
The Celestial Refining Divine Tripod’s Purest Essence Qi surged out wildly, force-feeding the countless Gu insects to their limits!
The suffering of the flesh instantly abated!
But the Sea of Consciousness was still in turmoil.
Xu Yang steeled his mind and, amid the frenzied assault, enlightened upon the Heaven-locking Seal.
Its wonders allowed him, even beneath the assault of ten thousand wills, to preserve the last sliver of lucidity within his spiritual platform!!
Time drifted quietly by.
Upon seeing Xu Yang’s condition actually improve, both Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Shaoyao revealed bewildered looks.
"Aunt, is that bug of yours really as formidable as you claimed?" Huangfu Qing asked skeptically.
"Why don’t you try it yourself?" Huangfu Shaoyao glared at him with a livid face.
"Uh~~ forget it!"
Huangfu Qing’s face changed, shaking his head at once.
He’d have to be mad to want to try it himself!
But Xu Yang...
"What kind of freak is this kid, anyway?"
Even Huangfu Shaoyao was thoroughly shaken.
If it were just those Gu insects, enduring was conceivable. But along with the following waves—forget youth, even an old freak would struggle to withstand it!
How could this be possible?
Huangfu Shaoyao refused to believe, quietly rousing her Spiritual Power!
Pft!
Xu Yang’s whole body quaked, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, glaring coldly at Huangfu Shaoyao.
His eyes were bloodshot, hideous with madness, yet still clear-headed!
"Slut!"
Xu Yang sneered through gritted teeth!
Huangfu Shaoyao shook violently with fury, her fierce chest quivering wildly!
"You little bastard, you..."
She clenched her fists tight, killing intent blazing in her eyes.
But in the next moment, it faded away.
"Damn!"
Huangfu Shaoyao was livid, but out of moves.
This was already her deadliest trick.
Until now, Xu Yang was the only one who withstood it and remained conscious.
Using other means might leave him fatally crippled—and if it affected alchemy, that would be troublesome.
Her pretty face shifted expression repeatedly, then she smiled seductively: "You’re tough, I’ll give you that. But sooner or later, I’ll make you kneel before me and kiss the tips of my toes!"
You? Worthy?
Xu Yang closed his eyes, letting out a furious roar in his heart.
"Heaven-locking Seal—condense!"
The Sea of Consciousness roared in sudden thunder!
The shattered six chains fused instantly!
The seventh chain appeared quietly!
Buzz!
With the seventh chain’s emergence, the chaotic Sea of Consciousness abruptly stilled!
Ten thousand wills shrieked in agony, as if struck by thunder!
An intangible might, blazing like a great sun, suppressed everything!
Will after will was suppressed, trembling in fear, then crumbling and shattering, sinking into the vast ocean!
The seven chains, under Xu Yang’s control, slowly dispersed, melding into the edges of his Sea of Consciousness!
In this moment—
The Sea of Consciousness was like a cage!
Xu Yang’s quivering body slowly calmed.
He sorted through the chaos of his Spiritual Power, slowly devouring the shattered will energies.
The myriad wills were terrifying indeed, but if he could crush them, his spiritual power would grow immensely!
"The Heaven-locking Seal truly deserves its reputation as the final seal!"
"Fused with the Sea of Consciousness, becoming its defense—if I’d had these seven chains earlier, just the attempt from the myriad wills to break through would have been half extinguished!"
With a thought, illusionary chains manifested out of thin air, instantly interweaving to form a spiritual seal.
It was the Heaven-locking Seal!
Unleashing a seal, sky and earth are locked away!
Sever spirit, sever the cosmos!
"Though I’ve barely taken the first step, it’s already enough to bind a small area temporarily!"
"Hit someone with it off-guard, and most people can’t handle it!"
This seal could be used on a broad scale, shackling everything.
But it could also be planted directly on a person, sealing all their power!
After some time—
Xu Yang gradually returned to himself, scanning his body—over a dozen Gu insects, now fully fed, hid dormant in his flesh and blood!
Thinking of the earlier torment, he shuddered with dread!
"That bitch must have loads more of this stuff on her."
When a chance presented, he would repay her in kind!
Next moment—
Xu Yang summoned the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod within his Dantian, forcibly awakening all the Gu insects.
"Didn’t you want to eat?"
Xu Yang sneered, mobilizing every ounce of his strength, madly pursuing and herding the Gu insects into the Divine Tripod.
Once inside, they instantly sizzled and hissed!
In the blink of an eye, all the Gu insects were completely refined!
Then, he slowly opened his eyes and looked over.
Huangfu Shaoyao was startled. "Those Gu insects..."
Xu Yang bared his teeth in a grin. "Nothing much, really!"
"You..."
Boom!
Xu Yang erupted, bringing his blade crashing down from the sky.
At this scene, Huangfu Qing sneered with disdain, "Still want to fight my aunt? You really don’t know your place!"
"Aunt, go easy on him!"
"I’m still waiting for him to refine pills for me!"
"Don’t worry!"
Huangfu Shaoyao smiled faintly, flicking her sleeve casually—a sweeping flash shot out violently.
Clang!
The saber screamed and fell away.
Xu Yang grunted sullenly, the web of his hand splitting, the horrific force shaking the Demon Dragon Saber from his grasp.
But this wasn’t his killing blow!
"Heaven-locking Seal!"
The Sea of Consciousness exploded, all his spiritual power converging into the Heaven-locking Seal, which appeared out of nowhere—quicker than the eye could see—in front of Huangfu Shaoyao.
"Interesting?"
Huangfu Shaoyao raised her brows in great interest; with her strength, even she couldn’t fully perceive the seal’s mysteries at first glance.
Mysterious as it was, she didn’t mind. Nonchalantly, she reached out to grab it!
But at the instant her hand touched the spirit seal, a twitch flickered at the corner of Huangfu Shaoyao’s eye.
"Not good!"
She reacted instantly, her hand slicing across the void, fist clenched tightly.
With a boom, she unleashed an earth-shakingly terrifying fist force!
The spirit seal shattered with a punch.
Yet, as it broke, ripples of mysterious energy radiated out, with countless tiny, ephemeral phantom chains cascading down like a tide.
Huangfu Shaoyao’s whole body quivered, and her previously unstoppable aura instantly stalled for a moment!
It was that instant’s stagnation—her eyes went wide in shock, and blood gushed from her mouth, dyeing her cherry lips deep crimson—a wicked, startling sight!
"Aunt..."
Huangfu Qing jumped to his feet, stupefied.
