I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 552: Chapter 364: Whose Methods Are the Strongest?

Netherworld Boundary Seal?

As soon as the young man spoke, the eyes of everyone from both sects involuntarily looked over.

Behind the pitch-black portal, demonic energy swirled, with waves of Yin Qi, yet for some reason, there wasn’t much evil energy present. The demonic Qi seemed pure, like a rolling mist, making it hard to see clearly.

Gu Yuan gazed at the swirling demonic energy and the pitch-black portal before him, feeling slightly surprised.

This seal gave him a feeling somewhat similar to the description in the Boundary Demon Refining Seal; most importantly, both seals contained the words “boundary,” leaving him curious about their connection.

“Not much time left, in just half a day, my demonic body and Guzhai will break out of the array. If you don’t battle now, what are you waiting for?”

Seeing the people from the two sects hesitating, the young man laughed loudly and invited them to fight once more.

“Not even Daoist Embryo, what is there to fear!”

Seeing this, Master Shenyi and Master Tiandou exchanged a glance. Then, Master Shenyi stepped forward, holding a green Treasure Pearl, summoning brilliant Spiritual Light, and hurled it at the young man.

This pearl is called the “Burning Spirit Green Flame Pearl,” a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure treasured by the Thousand Waves Sect. This treasure is born from the Tier Four Spirit Fire, “Sea Heart Green Flame,” and can transform between realities, possessing immense strength. One blow can be as powerful as a mountain, able to pierce through a normal Late Stage Golden Core cultivator.

But what makes this treasure most formidable is the Sea Heart Green Flame imbued within it. Once refined, this flame excels at incinerating “Spiritual Light,” which contains the cultivator’s Divine Soul as well as the “Spiritual Nature” of their artifacts.

Any object with spiritual essence, once touched by this flame, will have its spiritual nature dispersed, reducing the cultivator to a soulless person and their treasure to a soulless artifact, truly formidable.

Previously, a black-robed Demon Cultivator from the Celestial Demon Sect attempted to use a Tier Four Spirit Net to shroud the Celestial Vault and capture this treasure, but was instead harmed by its Spirit Fire, suffering great spiritual loss.

Only the decisive action of Master Jiao Sha, who immediately activated the Grand Array and captured the Spiritual Qi of Jiuyi Mountain, allowed a few to escape. Otherwise, the Tier Four Spirit Net might have also been lost there.

At this moment, Master Shenyi stood at the forefront of the array but did not approach the black portal, opting instead to direct the spiritual treasure at the young man claiming to be Master Nine Flames, clearly wary and intending to test the waters.

“What a fine spiritual treasure!”

“Truly worthy of the glorious Major Sect of six thousand years; but youngster, why stay so far away?!”

The young man, seeing this, continued to stand with hands behind his back, smiling pleasantly, as if utterly unconcerned and leisurely engaged in banter.

Yet as he uttered the final sentence, his expression turned stern, and as if a vast ocean surged within him, behind him an ancient tree phantom several thousand feet tall swayed, drawing in all the Spiritual Qi of Jiuyi Mountain, which suddenly plunged into the Netherworld Boundary Seal above his head.

“Boom!”

In an instant, an indescribable suction force erupted from within that pitch-black portal.

The “Burning Spirit Green Flame Pearl,” fast as a green meteor, was caught off guard and directly sucked into the portal, falling into the rolling Demon Cloud.

“Boom!”

Moreover, the tremendous suction, like a tornado, even swept up Master Shenyi.

“Bang!”

Above Master Shenyi, suddenly a red Dharma Seal emerged, and a layer of a red Fire Radiance Divine Robe, sparkling with flowing colors, instantly draped over him.

He took the Dao title “Shenyi” because his life-bound Dharma Seal is the “Celestial Fire Divine Robe Seal.”

This seal condenses the Great Sun, fuses with the Blue Sea, and amid the Yin-Yang of water and fire, forms a “Celestial Fire Divine Robe.” This magical robe can ward off Yin and Yang, capture Sword Pills, block techniques, and is the finest Protective Seal one could possess.

It is also the accumulation of his life’s Dao Practice.

With this magical robe in hand, even if three Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivators attacked together, he was confident he could withstand them for at least half a day without defeat.

It was because of this unparalleled defense that he, and not Master Tiandou, came to probe, ensuring the most fitting protection.

But the Netherworld Boundary Seal, of unknown origin, seemed to dismiss the protection of the Celestial Fire Divine Robe, as if an invisible giant hand forcibly dragged Master Shenyi into the pitch-black portal.

“Fellow Daoist Shenyi!”

Seeing this, Master Tiandou’s face changed with a start, and he urgently wielded the Dragon-Slaying Ruyi, attempting to help Master Shenyi break the “suction” and rescue him.

Yet in the flash of a mystical light, Master Shenyi had already been drawn into the portal, and not only that, the young man had also vanished without a trace.

Only a mass of Demon Cloud remained, blocking the path of everyone present.

“Boom!”

Master Tiandou’s expression turned stern, his mana surged like a tide, with a phantom of a Kun Beast swimming behind him. He made a vigorous strike, throwing the Dragon-Slaying Ruyi at the Demon Cloud.

“Bang!”

The Demon Cloud exploded at once, but barely for a moment before it converged again, like a large cocoon, still blocking the path of those present.

The critical point was that after Master Shenyi fell into the Demon Seal, the power of the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Array Disc diminished, its Spiritual Light dimming slightly, making it nearly impossible to “pioneer” the grand array anew.

“Hahaha, caught in the Sect Leader’s Netherworld Boundary Seal, only by having your mana completely drained and becoming a Netherworld Puppet can you escape, otherwise, forget about fleeing!”

“To break this seal, you must defeat the Sect Leader. Do you have that capability?!”

Witnessing this, from afar Master Jiao Sha couldn’t help but laugh.

The Sect Leader himself in action, truly extraordinary.

Once the Netherworld Boundary Seal is deployed, it stands like a great mountain, blocking the path of the two sects.

What if there are four Late Stage Golden Core Great Cultivators? The Sect Leader alone can sweep all before him without needing them to lift a finger!
