Chapter 121 Double Pressure from Both Light and Dark Sides, Blood Shadow on the Verge of Collapse
Above the White Pagoda.
Qin Xuanxiao's Mountain and River Marquisate was completely suppressed.
The dim, yellow sun hung above Blood Shadow's head, like a dead star about to crash.
The barren mountains stretch endlessly, layer upon layer.
The dried-up river surged back, like countless gray-white chains, binding the remaining two meters of the forbidden domain around the blood shadow.
Click.
Another crack spread from the dark gold arm behind Blood Shadow.
His black robe fluttered in the wind.
The crimson lotus fire pattern on the forehead of the blood-red mask flickered continuously under the immense pressure of the domain.
But Blood Shadow still did not retreat.
Six dark gold arms were raised simultaneously.
Each time the Mountain and River Domain pressed down, he countered with the Great Wilderness Annihilation.
boom--!
A barren mountain was shattered by the force of a punch.
But the next moment, the Mountain and River Domain behind Qin Xuanxiao trembled slightly, and the desolate mountain re-formed.
boom--!
A long, flowing river was cut off by a dark gold fist.
But in the blink of an eye, the river resumed its course, pressing down on the blood shadow with an even heavier force.
Qin Xuanxiao stood in the center of the domain, his aged eyes showing no sign of impatience.
He had already seen through it.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator is very fierce.
His blood and energy are so strong they seem inhuman.
The force of the punch was so heavy that it could even crack his own domain of mountains and rivers.
However, the other party does not have a complete domain.
At least, the ancient cultivator with the blood-red face revealed at this moment does not truly possess a complete domain belonging to the mid-stage of the Marquis level.
He relied on an extremely heavy and domineering force of qi and blood.
It can directly shatter a localized area.
However, it could not truly suppress the entire territory of the Marquisate.
Qin Xuanxiao slowly raised his hand.
The dim, yellow sun sank another inch.
The forbidden domain surrounding Blood Shadow suddenly emitted a piercing tremor.
Two meters.
One and a half meters.
one meter.
That dark gold forbidden domain, which was originally capable of crushing the Dharma Image of a Commander-level cultivator and causing the Blood Sealing Plates in all directions to sink, was now reduced to just a ring around the Blood Shadow.
Everyone saw it.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator is about to collapse.
The area around the White Pagoda.
Countless spectators held their breath.
The shock brought by Blood Shadow's killing of Qin Yue, beheading the White Tower researcher, and breaking through the eighteen layers of protective array was too strong.
So intensely that they almost believed that the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was an uncontrollable madman in Dragon Abyss City.
But now, Qin Xuanxiao has shown everyone the truth.
The true strength of Longyuan City lies not in the Resource Institute.
It's not the White Pagoda.
They are not the so-called geniuses from the Freshman Hall either.
Rather, it is the mid-stage of the Marquis Realm.
It is an old monster that can make the source energy of a region move according to its will.
"Qin Xuanxiao is too strong..."
Someone's voice trembled.
"When the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator killed Qin Yue, I thought the Qin family was completely finished this time."
"But now it seems that the Qin family patriarch was the real trump card."
"Mid-stage of being granted the title of Marquis."
"This is something that even a peak Commander-level expert can't pull off."
Song Li stood at a distance, her face deathly pale.
She watched as the blood-red shadow was gradually pressed down by the dim, yellow sun, and saw the increasing number of cracks on the six dark gold arms, and her heart tightened inexplicably.
She clearly didn't have much of a relationship with the Blood Elder.
They even had a misunderstanding about Lin Yuan and his sister before.
But at this moment, she did not want Senior Blood to be defeated.
Because she knew that if Senior Blood was defeated, Lin Xiaoya would have no one left to stop the White Tower and the Resource Institute.
"Is he really going to die?"
Song Li murmured softly.
Ji Qinghe did not answer.
Her gaze was fixed on the black-robed figure in the center of the White Tower ruins.
The more Blood Shadow was suppressed, the stronger the sense of unease she felt.
wrong.
That's really not right.
Every time Senior Bloodface made a move before, it was like crushing his opponent.
This time, however, he was clearly pushed to his limit by Qin Xuanxiao, but he never fully unleashed his power.
It doesn't seem like they have no cards to play.
more like...
It's dragging on.
Ji Qinghe was startled by her own thought.
drag?
What are you dragging along?
He knew that if he dragged this out any longer, he would be suppressed.
Ning Wushuang stood on another tall building, her gaze solemn.
She saw things more deeply than Song Li.
Blood Shadow was now clearly at a disadvantage.
But his disadvantage is strange.
Every counterattack he made was precise.
I do not seek to defeat Qin Xuanxiao.
I just want to hold on.
They just want to delay.
Ning Wushuang whispered:
"What is he waiting for?"
The Ning family's law enforcement disciples behind him couldn't help but say:
"Miss, perhaps she just can't hold on any longer."
Ning Wushuang did not refute.
Because, judging from the surface, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator was indeed about to collapse.
But she always felt that tonight's situation wouldn't be that simple.
……
Temporary council chamber of the elders.
The projection of the White Pagoda battlefield was clearly reflected in the center.
When they saw that the Blood Shadow Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain had been reduced to only one meter, many elders visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qin Xuanxiao can suppress him."
"This person is too dangerous. If he is not eliminated today, he will surely become a major threat to Longyuan City in the future."
"Indeed, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator's killing of Qin Yue and destruction of the outer layer of the White Pagoda proves that he is completely out of control."
"We must not let this kind of uncontrollable powerhouse at the Marquis level get away with it."
An elder looked at Zhenxinghou.
"My lord, the situation is now very clear."
"Qin Xuanxiao's suppression of the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is beneficial to Longyuan City."
Are you going to remain silent?
Marquis Zhenxing did not answer immediately.
His gaze remained fixed on the deep blue crack at the bottom of the white tower.
The atmosphere there grew increasingly heavy.
The weight was so heavy that even he, a powerful figure who had been granted the title of Marquis, felt a sense of oppression in his heart.
What concerned him even more was that extremely faint, extremely deep aura, which shared the same origin as Blood Shadow but was even deeper.
That aura had completely penetrated to the bottom of the White Tower.
Marquis Zhenxing's eyes darkened slightly.
Blood Shadow openly held off Qin Xuanxiao.
The true entity has gone below?
This idea is absurd.
If it were anyone else, Zhenxing Hou would only find it laughable.
But what happened to Lin Yuan was absurd enough.
At the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm, he withstood five hundred times the gravity of the Dragon Gate Tower.
They relied on the so-called protective seal to injure Xuan Hai and suppress the teachings.
During the Star Source Pool crisis, Lin Yuan, who was on surveillance footage, and the Blood Face that appeared simultaneously existed.
And now.
Blood Shadow was clearly in a dead end, yet he never unleashed his power.
However, a deeper aura emerged from the bottom of the White Pagoda.
Marquis Zhenxing suddenly spoke:
"Qin Xuanxiao may not win."
The council chamber fell silent.
One of the elders frowned.
"My lord, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator has been pushed to this point; is there still a chance for him to turn the tide?"
Marquis Zhenxing said:
"You only saw the top."
The elders were taken aback.
Marquis Zhenxing looked at the projection at the bottom of the White Pagoda, his voice deep:
"The real trouble tonight is what's coming up below."
……
Above the White Pagoda.
Qin Xuanxiao also noticed the unusual activity at the bottom.
While suppressing the blood shadow, he turned his gaze to the depths of the crack in the white tower.
A faint blue light continuously shot out from below.
That aura was no longer the remnant of an ordinary old door.
It's more like some higher being is using that thing at the bottom of the White Tower to cast its gaze upon reality.
Qin Xuanxiao frowned slightly.
"What exactly are you dragging your feet about?"
Blood Shadow did not answer.
They simply raised all six arms at the same time, forcefully holding back the scorching sun.
Click!
The cracks on the surface of another dark gold arm widened.
Qin Xuanxiao's eyes turned completely cold.
"Since you won't tell me."
"Then I'll subdue you first."
He clasped his five fingers together.
Within the territory of the Marquis of Mountains and Rivers, the barren mountains, the long river, and the great sun all converged simultaneously.
The domain that originally covered the entire ruins of the White Tower began to collapse towards Blood Shadow alone.
This is the real killer move in the realm of bestowing titles.
It's no longer just about suppression.
Instead, it transforms the entire landscape into a millstone of heaven and earth.
To completely crush the target.
The last meter of the extreme forbidden domain beside Blood Shadow emitted a piercing, deafening roar.
Beneath the black robe, the crimson lotus flames were almost extinguished.
Everyone outside felt a sudden tightness in their chests.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator.
I'm really going to be scared.
……
The base of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
Lin Yuan's own situation is not easy either.
After the giant blue eye fully opened, the entire sealed well had become a battlefield where the will and the ultimate blood energy behind the gate clashed.
All the white ring-shaped runes on the well wall went out.
The sealing chains broke one by one, falling to the bottom of the well and being swallowed by the eerie blue light.
The fragment of a King-level sect bone floated below Lin Yuan's palm.
The surface cracks are increasing.
But with each crack, even more violent residual energy from the gate bone would surge out.
That energy is more than just strong.
It's dirty.
confusion.
Crazy.
Each wisp of residual energy contained whispers from behind the gate, remnants of the old Star Gate war, fragments of King-level rules, and traces left by the gate master's will.
Lin Yuan forcibly absorbed and refined it, as if pressing countless shattered blades into his flesh.
Deep within the bones, silver-white star patterns lit up one by one.
But each time a light illuminates, it is accompanied by excruciating, tearing pain.
The dark gold energy in the blood continues to increase.
But the pollution behind the door keeps rebounding.
The system notification is flashing wildly.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 680000]
[Increased pressure from the sect leader's will detected]
[Detection of continuous leakage of residual energy from a King-level sect member]
[Contamination being removed]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
boom!
A dark blue pressure slammed into Lin Yuan's body.
Lin Yuan grunted.
A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth for the first time.
Fresh blood is not bright red.
Instead, it was a dark gold color interspersed with a wisp of silvery starlight.
As soon as it flowed out, it was absorbed back into the body by the Extreme Dao Star Furnace.
The afterimage of Experiment Subject No. 1 stood in the distance, his face deathly pale.
She wanted to remind Lin Yuan to stop.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Because she already understood that the person in front of her would not stop.
He wasn't unaware of the danger.
He knew it was dangerous, but he still continued to swallow.
The giant, deep blue eyes stared at Lin Yuan.
The sect leader's voice echoed continuously within the sealed well:
"You can't handle the door."
"Your physical body will shatter."
"Your vital energy and blood circulation will be rewritten."
"You will become part of the door."
Lin Yuan looked up.
"Are you done talking?"
He pressed down with his five fingers again.
The fragments of the king-level gate bone emitted a piercing cracking sound.
The system notification popped up again.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 688000]
Inside Lin Yuan's body, the Extreme Dao Star Furnace was already spinning at near its limit.
Deep within the bones, the originally scattered star patterns began to connect with each other.
One.
Ten items.
One hundred.
Like a miniature star map, it was being forcibly illuminated in the deepest part of his bones.
The blood flowed like a dark golden galaxy.
Each heartbeat is like a heavy star collapsing and reforming inside my body.
But that's not enough.
There's still a long way to go.
Seven hundred thousand times is the threshold for qualitative change.
The closer you get, the more terrifying the energy required.
The residual energy of a king-level gatekeeper is heavy enough.
The sect leader's will is also strong enough.
However, their counterattack is far more dangerous than that of the Star Source Pool.
Suddenly, an even deeper light shot out from the giant blue eye.
The light did not attack the physical body.
Instead, it shone directly at the location of the Extreme Dao Star Furnace within Lin Yuan's body.
For the first time, the sect leader's voice carried a hint of something unusual:
"Found it."
"Things that swallow the gate."
"Inside you."
next moment.
Countless dark blue patterns bypassed the palm and drilled directly into the depths of the physical body where the Extreme Dao Star Furnace was located.
Subject Number One's expression changed drastically.
"It wants to corrupt your core!"
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold.
"Does it even deserve it?"
boom--!
The forbidden domain suddenly contracted inward.
It's not played externally.
Instead, it is all pushed back into the body.
Blood pressure.
Bone compression.
Press down on the physical body.
Star-pressing furnace.
As soon as all the azure gate patterns approached the Extreme Dao Star Furnace, they were forcibly gripped by the collapsing Extreme Dao Qi and Blood.
The sect leader's will was like countless hooks, trying to catch the Star Furnace.
As the furnace spun, those hooks were crushed one by one.
The system indicated that the beeping continued.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 695000]
Lin Yuan's body swayed slightly.
The steps leading to the sealed well beneath our feet have completely collapsed.
He still stood perfectly straight.
Faint silver-white star patterns faintly appeared on the surface of his skin.
Those star patterns are not external markings.
Rather, it is the light deep within the bones that faintly shines through the flesh and blood.
Subject Number One stared at him blankly.
She suddenly realized.
Lin Yuan wasn't simply swallowing the door bone.
He was using the pressure of the sect's bones and the sect leader's will to force his body to another level.
The sect leader also noticed it.
From the depths of the giant blue eye, the voice became much deeper for the first time:
"You are borrowing my body."
Lin Yuan looked up, with traces of dark gold blood still remaining at the corner of his mouth.
"You only realized it now?"
The sealed well shook violently.
The sect leader's will completely erupted.
It finally stopped merely eroding and began to utilize all the power that this wisp of will could mobilize.
All the cracks on the surface of the fragment of the King-level gate bone lit up.
The tides in the direction of the main star gate were also subtly affected at this moment.
Three forces pressed down on Lin Yuan simultaneously.
The sect leader's will.
The bones of a prince.
Main Star Gate Tide.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within Lin Yuan's body roared to its limit.
The system notification is flashing wildly.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 696000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 697000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 698000]
[WARNING: Energy pressure exceeds current capacity limit]
[Warning: Critical reaction of the Extreme Star Body is occurring ahead of schedule]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 699000]
Lin Yuan's bones trembled and crackled.
Like the final tremor of a starry sky before it is lit up.
At the base of the white tower, dark gold and eerie blue light clashed wildly.
And above the White Pagoda.
Blood Shadow's ultimate forbidden domain was finally reduced to a mere sliver by Qin Xuanxiao's Mountain and River Domain.
Click.
Of the six dark gold arms, the third one also cracked.
Qin Xuanxiao raised his hand, his eyes icy cold.
"it's over."
The dim, yellow sun crashed down.
Everyone outside held their breath.
In the council of elders, several elders had already stood up.
Song Li's face turned deathly pale, and she could hardly bear to look anymore.
Ning Wushuang gripped the longsword tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Marquis Zhenxing finally took a step forward.
But at the very same instant.
The base of the White Pagoda.
Lin Yuan looked up, and deep within his eyes, dark golden starlight shone brightly.
He gripped the fragment of the gate bone with his five fingers, simultaneously pressing the three forces—the gate master's will, the remnant energy of the King-level gate bone, and the main star gate's tide—into his body.
The system indicated that it stopped at the last line.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 699999]
Just one more chance.
The whole world seemed to stand still at that moment.
