Chapter 130 The Sect Master's Will, Devouring Begins
The base of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
A beam of dark blue light shot into the sky.
That was no ordinary light.
Rather, it was a gaze that truly carried the will of the one behind the door.
It erupted from the fragments of a King-level gate bone, pierced through the sealed well, tore open the ruins of the White Tower, and shot straight into the night sky.
In an instant, the entire north side of Longyuan Academy was bathed in a deep blue light.
The crowd, who had just recovered from the shock of Qin Xuanxiao's death, fell into a deathly silence once again.
Because at that moment, they all felt it.
There are still things under the White Pagoda.
It is older than Qin Xuanxiao.
It's even more bizarre than the realm of those who were granted titles of nobility.
It was even less like a creature of this world than the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator.
Outside the ruins of the White Pagoda.
The researchers who were initially too frightened to utter a sound by Qin Xuanxiao's death now collapsed to the ground.
Some people had vacant eyes and were muttering unconsciously:
"Door……"
"The door is watching us..."
"It's awake..."
The Zhenxing Army's isolation formation flickered continuously under the impact of the dark blue light pillar.
Several Zhenxing Army generals' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately ordered the lower-ranking soldiers to retreat.
"All those below the Qi Gathering Realm, retreat three miles!"
"Don't look directly at the beam of light!"
"Seal off the area surrounding the White Pagoda!"
"quick!"
The sound spread.
However, many people still subconsciously looked up at that dark blue light.
With just one glance, his face turned deathly pale and his pupils became dilated.
It was as if, deep within that pillar of light, countless doors opened simultaneously.
Blood Shadow stood before the crack in the white tower.
The black robe fluttered in the eerie blue light.
After killing Qin Xuanxiao, the eight-armed phantom behind him gradually dissipated.
The crimson flames were also suppressed back into the center of the mask's forehead, leaving only a wisp of blazing fire pattern.
But at this moment, the red lotus fire pattern lit up again.
It wasn't because of Qin Xuanxiao.
It was not because of the will of the sect leader at the bottom of the White Pagoda.
The open battle is over.
But the real battlefield is still below.
The blood shadow did not go down.
He simply stood before the crack, like a black threshold, blocking all those who wanted to approach the bottom of the White Tower.
At this moment, neither the Elders' Council, the Zhenxing Army, nor any of the major families dared to easily overstep his bounds.
Because Qin Xuanxiao's body lay not far behind him.
That corpse carried more weight than any warning.
……
Temporary council chamber of the elders.
All the elders stared at the dark blue beam of light projected onto the white tower, their faces extremely grim.
They were still in shock at Qin Xuanxiao's death.
Now it has been discovered that the crisis at the bottom of the White Pagoda is far from over.
An elder's voice was hoarse:
"What exactly is that?"
No one answered immediately.
Until the most senior elder slowly spoke:
"Sealed Well".
"The bottom layer of the White Tower does indeed contain remnants from the Old Stargate War."
"But logically speaking, after the Cleansing Gate Project failed twenty years ago, that thing should have been completely sealed away."
Marquis Zhenxing turned to look at him.
His eyes were terrifyingly cold.
"Completely sealed off?"
"You call this a complete sealing off?"
The elder's face was grim, but he did not refute it.
Because the dark blue pillar of light was there.
Because the will behind the door at the bottom of the White Tower has begun to influence reality.
Because what the Resource Institute and the White Tower had kept hidden for twenty years was finally revealed to everyone tonight.
Marquis Zhenxing's gaze returned to the projection.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable."
"First, we need to figure out who's fighting it."
These words startled many elders in the council hall.
They instinctively looked at the blood-red shadow in front of the crack in the white pagoda.
Isn't the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator on top?
Qin Xuanxiao had just been killed by him.
Who's next?
An elder said with difficulty:
"My lord, you said before... that the Blood Face might not be the real body."
Marquis Zhenxing did not answer.
But silence itself is the answer.
Inside the council chamber, everyone felt a chill rise from behind.
If the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator is merely an avatar.
If there is another body below.
So, how much of the truth did they actually witness during tonight's bloody ordeal at the White Tower?
……
The base of the White Pagoda.
Inside the sealed well.
Lin Yuan stood at the very center of the dark blue pillar of light.
His old school uniform had been torn in various places by the storm behind the door.
The cuffs are torn.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind.
But his body was like a dark gold nail driven into the center of a storm, and no matter how the sect leader's will impacted it, he did not retreat even half a step.
A fragment of a king-level gate bone hung in his palm.
The once intact, jet-black bone fragment is now mostly cracked.
The eerie blue light emanating from the crack was several times more intense than before.
The enormous, dark blue eye opened completely deep within the door frame.
It looked at Lin Yuan.
No longer separated by a distant and blurry doorway.
It's no longer just a test.
Instead, it truly descended to the edge of reality with the first wisp of will, using the fragments of the gate bone.
The sect leader's voice echoed from all directions of the sealed well.
"The Gate Swallower".
"You killed a marquis."
"It also borrowed my power to take form."
"Now, you still want to devour my thoughts?"
Lin Yuan gripped the broken piece of door frame with his five fingers.
Dark gold energy and blood continuously pressed inward from the palm.
"It's not that I want to."
"It's already being swallowed."
The words fell.
The Ultimate Star Furnace began to spin with a roar.
This time, it's not just about passively removing pollution.
Lin Yuan deliberately tore off a wisp of the sect leader's remnant will from the edge of the azure giant eye and dragged it into his body.
The moment that wisp of will entered his body, it transformed into countless dark blue patterns, attempting to penetrate his bones and soul.
The ultimate star body has already taken initial shape.
Within the dark gold skeleton, silver-white star patterns lit up one by one.
The dark blue door patterns had just pierced into flesh and blood when they were carried, suppressed, and dragged toward the star furnace by the star patterns.
The Ultimate Star Furnace turns once.
Pollution stripping.
The rules are crushed.
Residual energy compression.
A system notification appears.
[Currently absorbing and refining the remnants of the sect leader's will]
[Removing contaminants from behind high-rise building doors]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 718000]
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
This wisp of willpower is very strong.
It is purer than simple skeletal remnants.
But after 700,000 cycles, the energy required for compression skyrockets again.
This wisp of the sect leader's remaining energy that was torn off only pushed the compression count forward a little bit.
not enough.
Far from enough.
Lin Yuan looked up at the giant, dark blue eye.
"That's all?"
For the first time, the sect leader's will fell silent.
Then, the entire sealed well began to shake.
A cold rage flickered in that giant, dark blue eye.
"Human race".
"You think you can provoke me by swallowing a wisp of the Gate's intent?"
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"provocative?"
"You're not worthy."
boom!
Lin Yuan took a step forward.
The forbidden domain of the ultimate path was fully deployed within the sealed well.
After breaking through 700,000 times, his Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain was no longer just a simple area of heavy pressure.
One of them is a more stable stargate support structure.
The dark gold energy and blood, like an invisible deep sea, covered the entire sealed well.
All the dark blue door shadows were pressed down and sank.
The patterns on the surface of the fragment of the King-level gate bone began to twist violently.
The sect leader's will tried to pull away, but found that the dark gold blood energy in Lin Yuan's palm was like a hook, firmly gripping it.
"Trying to leave?"
Lin Yuan tightened his grip.
"It's too late."
Click!
Another piece of the door frame broke off.
This time, it wasn't just the door frame that shattered.
There was also a small patch of dark blue light trace attached to the sect leader's will on the sect bone.
Lin Yuan directly tore that piece of light into his body.
boom--!
His body jolted violently.
Deep within the bones, a star pattern suddenly lit up.
This remaining willpower is even more ferocious than before.
It transformed into a dark blue eye, attempting to open within Lin Yuan's body.
But the next moment, the dark golden flames of the Extreme Dao Star Furnace pressed down directly.
Before the eye could take shape, it was crushed by the Star Furnace.
The system prompted that the notification was triggered again.
[The remnant energy of the sect master's will was successfully absorbed.]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 720000]
The afterimage of Experiment 1 stands on the edge of the well wall.
She was completely stunned.
That's the sect leader.
Even a wisp of her will is a terrifying existence that can make countless disciples kneel in submission, seal the White Tower for twenty years, and trap her in the sect's bones, unable to escape.
But at this moment, Lin Yuan was actually tearing away the sect leader's will little by little.
Like tearing flesh from a giant beast.
She even had a kind of illusion.
It wasn't Lin Yuan who was trapped in this sealed well.
Rather, it was the sect leader's wisp of will.
……
Deep within the dream.
Lin Xiaoya stood in front of the black door.
The red lotus fire pattern on her forehead was still shining.
The white lock pattern next to it is also much clearer than before.
Part of Subject One's consciousness remained with her.
They could sense that the sect leader's eye was no longer able to peer into reality through dreams.
Lin Xiaoya locked that anchor mark.
But the tremors continued to emanate from behind the black door.
With each tremor, Lin Xiaoya could feel a tightness in her chest.
"elder sister."
She asked in a low voice:
"Is my brother fighting with it?"
Subject number one remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Yes."
Lin Xiaoya clenched her fingers nervously.
Will my brother win?
Subject One looked into the depths of the dream.
There, dark gold and dark blue light constantly collided.
She should have been afraid.
Because she knew all too well how terrifying the sect leader was.
But for some reason, when she recalled Lin Yuan standing in front of the door asking "Can I eat this?", she felt a strange sense of relief.
"meeting."
Subject One whispered:
"Your brother... is unlike anyone I've ever met."
Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously.
"My brother will definitely win."
After she finished speaking, she raised her small hand and pressed it against the white lock mark on her forehead.
Although she couldn't help much.
But at least, she will never let that eye leave her dreams again.
……
Inside the sealed well.
The sect leader's first wisp of will completely changed the strategy.
It no longer attempts to pollute the forest.
She no longer tried to bypass him to find Lin Xiaoya.
Instead, they concentrated all their power on the fragment of the King-level sect bone.
It requires sacrificing fragments of the door frame to forcibly tear open a crack.
As long as the crack opens, even for a moment, the sect leader can project more of his will onto it.
By then, the bottom of the White Pagoda will no longer be just a sealed well.
It will become a real projection area behind the door.
The giant, dark blue eye slowly contracted backward.
The fragments of the King-level gate bone trembled violently at this moment.
All the cracks on the surface of the door frame opened simultaneously.
Each crack is like a tiny door.
Subject Number One's expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
"It's going to abandon its fossa!"
"It wants to use this fragment to open the crack!"
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold.
"I haven't finished eating yet."
He raised his other hand.
Press lightly with your five fingers.
The forbidden area of the extreme path suddenly sank.
The entire sealed well looked as if it were being suppressed by a dark golden star.
Just as the cracks in the door frame were about to widen, they were abruptly stopped.
However, the sect leader's will also retaliated at the same time.
The giant, deep blue eyes opened wide again.
An even more terrifying pressure than before crashed directly into the Extreme Dao Star Furnace within Lin Yuan's body.
This time, it doesn't seek pollution.
All I want is to cause disruption.
I only wish to slow Lin Yuan down for a moment.
In just a moment, the door bone can crack open a passage.
Lin Yuan grunted.
A trickle of dark gold blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Although the Extreme Star Body was only in its initial stage, the impact of the sect master's will was still terrifying.
His skeletal star pattern trembled violently.
The rotation speed of the internal star furnace also slowed down for a moment.
The sect leader's voice was deep:
"You can't stop the door from opening."
Lin Yuan looked up.
His eyes were cold.
"Who said I was going to stop them?"
The sect leader paused slightly.
The next instant, Lin Yuan actually released some of his suppression.
The crack in the door bone suddenly widened.
The pale blue light surged.
Subject One lost his voice:
"We can't let it open!"
But the moment the crack in the door bone widened, Lin Yuan directly reached one hand into the crack.
It's not about stopping them.
It means to arrest.
He forcefully seized the next wisp of will that the sect leader was trying to project.
For the first time, a violent fluctuation occurred deep within the azure giant eye.
"You dare!"
Lin Yuan gripped the wisp of the sect master's will that was about to descend with his five fingers, and the Extreme Dao Star Furnace roared wildly.
"Since we're already here..."
"Don't rush off."
boom!
Lin Yuan forcibly pulled a section of the sect master's will, which had not yet fully descended, from the crack in the sect's bones.
Dark gold energy and blood entangled him like chains.
peel off.
compression.
Swallowing and refining.
System notifications kept popping up.
[A higher concentration of the sect leader's residual will energy was detected]
[Increased pollution intensity]
[Undergoing forced divestiture]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 722000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 725000]
Inside the sealed well, a ghostly blue light vibrated wildly.
The sect leader's last vestige of will finally manifested as genuine anger.
It's not aloof or cold.
It is the anger that comes from being devoured in reverse.
It originally intended to use the fragments of the door bone to open the crack and inject more power.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan turned the force that was about to be thrown at him into his own hands and used it as new food.
The giant, dark blue eyes stared intently at Lin Yuan.
"The Gate Swallower".
"You're asking for it."
Lin Yuan wiped away the dark gold blood from the corner of his mouth.
His palm still held that piece of broken door frame.
He stared into the enormous, dark blue eyes, his voice eerily calm.
You've said it many times.
"I'm alive."
The sect leader remained silent.
Inside the sealed well, the eerie blue light began to contract inward.
It finally realized that if things continued like this, this wisp of will might really be completely devoured by Lin Yuan.
It wants to retreat.
But Lin Yuan did not give it a chance to retreat.
The forbidden area of the extreme realm sank once again.
Dark gold energy sealed the entire sealed well.
He pressed the broken piece of door frame under his palm, and the crack gradually widened.
Lin Yuan said in a low voice:
"Now."
"The annihilation begins."
