Chapter 1837 - Piercing the Heart (2) (2/2)

Obviously, dispelling the dragon soul’s awe with the Nirvana Devil Soul again and again wasn’t an easy task.

“Devil Queen!”

“Devil Queen!!!”

Cries of shock and terror appeared from every corner of the Deep Sea God Realm. If the unthinkable were to happen to the Devil Queen while the Devil Master was gone… they didn’t even dare to imagine the consequences.

“Ugh… ahhhhhhh!”

Eyes widening to the point of bleeding, Yan Tianxiao endured his wounds, forced his way through the awe and suppression of Long Bai’s roar, and charged.

Equally shocked by Chi Wuyao’s injuries, Yan One, Yan Three and the two Brahma Ancestors charged toward Long Bai as well.

Long Bai turned around to face them. His eyes were wounded, but they still shone with a light that cowed all the living creatures in the world. The line between his body and his soul blurred for a moment, and another draconic roar pressed down on everyone.

This time, the Devil Queen wasn’t around to help. The northern region devils were sure to break under his dragon’s soul.

It was at this moment Chi Wuyao’s pupils gleamed eerily.

She had purposely taken a hit to prepare for this very moment.

The second Long Bai released his dragon’s soul, Chi Wuyao captured its outline perfectly in her pupils. The seemingly weakened Nirvana Devil Soul immediately unleashed its hidden power, shot toward Long Bai’s soul, and bit.

“ROAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

The Crimson Destruction Dragon God hadn’t been able to withstand the pain of the Nirvana Devil Soul tearing into his soul. Naturally, it was the same for Long Bai!

There was a difference, however. The Crimson Destruction Dragon God had been unable to break free because he had allowed the Nirvana Devil Soul to invade his soul domain. Still, the pain should be enough to keep the Dragon Monarch occupied for a short while.

Long Bai hurriedly withdrew his dragon’s soul, but the pain inflicted by the devil soul wouldn’t disappear immediately. Just the same, he couldn’t regather the draconic willpower and energy he let crumble instantly. The debilitation would only last a couple of breaths, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the Devil Queen had created.

“Seal him now!!”

The nine Witches who had been waiting to execute this order from the very start immediately took off to their positions.

Jie Xin, Jie Ling, Ye Li, Yao Die, Qing Ying, Lan Ting, Hua Jin, Yu Wu, and Chanyi. The nine Witches began shining like nine dreamlike butterflies with eerie black marks engraved into the space around them.

The black marks crisscrossed around Long Bai’s body. Soon, a gigantic, sealed dark profound formation came into existence around him.

UOOOHHH

When the dark profound formation took form completely, a devil’s shadow appeared inside the profound formation and let out a roar that seemed to hail from the ancient abyss.

The formation was called the Nine Tribulations Heaven Sealing Formation. It was an ancient devil formation the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had left behind for Yun Che, which he then taught to the nine Witches.

Since the nine Witches were “created” by Chi Wuyao, their minds were interlinked, and their power came from the same origin. Most people of the current world would be hard pressed to master the ancient devil formation left behind by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor herself, but thanks to Yun Che’s Eternal Calamity of Darkness and the special connection between the witches, they were able to learn it in just four months.

The Nine Tribulations sealed not the body, but the power.

Long Bai’s draconic energy was somewhat chaotic due to all the damage he had taken so far, but the ancient formation also caused it to weaken at a drastic rate. After his pain faded, and his consciousness grew clearer, Long Bai discovered in astonishment that his control over his own power was slipping.

It was as if his divine powers were immobilized by countless threads.

In the end, even the white energy surrounding his body all this time had dissipated completely.

“Qianye! Gu Zhu! Caizhi! Cang Shitian… suppress him with everything you got!”

“Yan Three, Yama Emperor, Yan Wu, give all your powers to Yan One!”

The order jolted everyone into action.

The six level ten Divine Masters—Qianye Wugu, Qianye Bingzhu, Gu Zhu, Qianye Ying’er, Caizhi and Cang Shitian—fired their energies into Long Bai’s unprotected body.

BOOM CRACK!!

Without the layer of white energy, Long Bai’s terrifying physical body was only as strong as a normal Dragon God’s. The six pillars of energy immediately bent his gigantic body like a broken twig, and the following noise sounded like cracks of thunder… he had to have at least broken a thousand bones at the same time.

Boom!!!

Long Bai crashed to the ground so hard that he bounced back into the air.

While this was going on, Yan Tianxiao, Yan Three and Yan Wu were standing around Yan One and pressing their palms against his body. They poured every bit of Yama Devil energy they possessed into his profound veins.

All four people shared the same origin of power and even the same blood. Naturally, the transference of power was as smooth as it could possibly be.

The black mist surrounding Yan One’s body grew as thick as the infinite night’s, and his withered arm looked filled to the point of bursting. When Long Bai bounced into the air, Yan One had been gathering his power for at least one and a half breaths.

Yan One locked his gaze on the Dragon Monarch’s stomach, his old, half-narrowed eyes gleaming with a kind of malice that could terrorize even the evil spirits of hell. He abruptly thrust his swollen right arm forward and fired a pitch black, claw-shaped energy that tore space and law itself apart straight at Long Bai.

“Jie ah… die!!”

Bang!

It was a soft sound, but it was one that caused everyone’s eyes to widen, and every heart to stop.

The white scales around the Dragon Monarch’s stomach only resisted for an instant before falling apart like cloth. The devilish claw of darkness penetrated his thirty thousand meter long body, burst out from his back...

… and ended his legend of invincibility once and for all.

The sky turned red from dragon’s blood for an instant.

The northern region profound practitioners froze for a second… before feeling a rush of blood to their heads and cheering like crazy.

Unfortunately, the cheering only lasted a breath before a shattering noise chased it away completely.

The five Venerable Withered Dragons were so strong that the Deep Sea Barrier at seventy percent of its strength didn’t even last fifteen minutes.
