Chapter 1409 Sealing Technique (1/2)
A dark-red pillar of light fell from the sky, containing an indescribable power. Even palace master Sheng Yuan suddenly felt his heart shiver at the red light’s appearance.
He had an unexplainable feeling that the dark-red light was capable of gravely injuring him.
Zhou Yuan seemed to be waiting for this very chance!
He had used the magical silver rune battle armor to draw Sheng Yuan’s attention, while his true body concealed itself at some unknown time during the battle, waiting for the right moment to counterattack...
These thoughts flashed across Sheng Yuan’s mind in an instant. However, the dark-red beam was far too swift, and it was already impossible to dodge when it appeared.
An ominous glint flashed in Sheng Yuan’ eyes. He refused to believe that Zhou Yuan, who had been forced into a corner, would still be able to bite back!
As long as he blocked this counterattack, Sheng Yuan would be able to launch a counter attack of his own and finally obliterate Zhou Yuan from existence.
Sheng Yuan displayed no hesitation. Divine light spouted from the Saint lotus bud, interweaving above it to form layers of defense.
In the sky, a sneer rose from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth when he saw this.
The Forbidden Saint Sealing Script was a Saint Genesis art he had dug out from the Ancestral Dragon Scripture when he advanced to the Law Domain stage. Moreover, it was a super tier Saint Genesis art that was not the least bit inferior to Zhou Yuan’s previous trump card, the Ancestral Dragon Moves the Heavens.
However, this super tier Saint Genesis art did not specialize in attack but sealing.
Like its namesake suggests, it possessed the power to seal Saint experts.
Of course, it was not possible for Zhou Yuan to truly seal a Saint expert given his current strength. In fact, let alone a genuine Saint expert, even a half-Saint like Sheng Yuan was already pushing it.
However, Sheng Yuan had summoned his Saint lotus bud, presenting Zhou Yuan with a golden opportunity. Although he could not seal Sheng Yuan himself, the Saint lotus bud was an excellent target.
Bzz!
The beam of dark-red light arrived. Upon contact, the layers of divine light instantly began to melt away at an astonishing rate like snow meeting lava.
The dark-red light engulfed the Saint lotus bud.
Sheng Yuan’s expression abruptly changed as this development, clearly not expecting his divine light defenses to be so frail.
“Humph, you’re delusional if you think you can attack the Saint lotus bud and damage it!”
Sheng Yuan understood Zhou Yuan’s intention but did not lose his composure. The Saint lotus bud was the culmination of his life’s Genesis Qi foundation. It was not that he looked down on Zhou Yuan, but it was clearly impossible for him to destroy it with his current strength.
The dark-red light descended and quietly dissipated, seemingly having a strong start but a weak finish.
The dark-red light disappeared, leaving the Saint lotus bud silently hovering in the sky. There were no signs of any damage.
Countless gazes were struck dumb by this scene.
The chance Zhou Yuan had invested so much effort into creating had ended up fruitless?!
A chilling smile emerged from the corners of Sheng Yuan’s mouth. “The idea was good, but it's a pity that you were far too weak…”
In the sky, however, Zhou Yuan's smile widened. “Is that so?”
His response made Sheng Yuan’s heart leap in his chest as he looked towards the Saint lotus bud again. This time, however, in spite of his mettle, he was so horrified that his soul nearly fled his body.
He had seen several red runes begin to spread on the Saint lotus bud, causing the originally brightly glowing bud to dim.
In the span of a few breaths, the originally dazzling Saint lotus bud that had felt like the center of the entire world had turned dim and withered as if it was about to wilt.
