Chapter 96: All Sects Gather Strength
The night was deep, and the roars of monsters could be heard faintly from afar, covering the square that was once noisy during the day with a veil of silence.
Within the belly of the mountain, the ancient runes were like a sleeping dragon, occasionally opening their shining eyes and then quickly closing them again, as if foreshadowing subtle changes in the seal of the underworld - compared to the daytime, its binding force had indeed loosened.
In the middle of the night, the scene in the mountains changed strangely. Huge runes appeared and disappeared in the darkness like stars, shining with dazzling brilliance. The pressure was so strong that the monsters within a thousand miles away stayed away, winning a moment of precious peace for everyone.
The disciples of various sects either closed their eyes and concentrated, immersed in their cultivation, or occasionally looked up and whispered to each other about their expectations and anxieties.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the top of Cangli Mountain, accompanied by violent fluctuations in spiritual energy in the air, as if the vitality between heaven and earth was boiling at this moment.
The spiritual energy surged like the tide, accompanied by bursts of explosions, indicating that some great changes were about to take place.
At the same time, the light of the rune seal on the mountain wall has almost dimmed, as if it is about to reveal its long-hidden secret.
The sect disciples opened their eyes one after another, and cast their gazes towards the mysterious mountain wall, their eyes flashing with joy and excitement that were difficult to conceal.
"The seal of the Netherworld has finally reached its weakest!" A cry cut through the night sky, and the square was suddenly filled with noise, with indescribable excitement and anticipation surging in everyone's heart.
At this moment, the long wait finally came to an end.
Among the dark crowd, dozens of figures shot out like arrows, their faces filled with desire and awe for the unknown world.
For most disciples, the netherworld is a completely new world, a place full of challenges and opportunities.
At this moment, as the seal gradually weakened, their heartbeats also accelerated, as if they could already feel the call from the underworld.
Shangguan Jiannan stood in the crowd, his eyes penetrating the noise and chaos, fixed firmly on the seal that was about to be opened.
There was both surprise and anticipation in his eyes, as if he had foreseen the upcoming adventures and challenges.
As the sound of breaking wind rang out, more and more warriors joined the ranks rushing towards the unknown.
The once dazzling rune light has now quietly disappeared into the silence of the forest, leaving only the faint sound of explosions echoing in the night sky.
A low whimpering sound echoed in the howling mountain wind, as if nature itself was holding its breath for the next feat.
The elders of the ten major sects quickly gathered in the air like meteors across the sky. Their gazes penetrated the void and were fixed firmly on the majestic and spectacular mountain wall.
The air was filled with tension and anticipation. Every breath seemed unusually heavy. The faces of the elders could not hide their solemnity and horror, because at this moment, the seal of the underworld was gradually weakening to its most vulnerable edge.
"Huff!" A loud noise, like the gasp of a giant beast before waking up, broke the silence around.
Among the many figures, an elder with an upright posture walked out slowly. He was Guo Xiaotian from the Temple of War God.
His appearance caused the disciples in the square to involuntarily take a few steps back, while the elders in front of the mountain wall remained calm and waited for the next step.
"Everyone, the seal of the Netherworld has reached its weakest point."
Guo Xiaotian's voice was deep and powerful, penetrating the constraints of space and stirring up waves in everyone's heart.
“Follow me and tear it apart!” This sentence sounded like a war drum, making everyone's hearts surge and their expressions more solemn.
In this world, the top elders from all the major sects gathered together. Some of them stood in the air with fluttering robes, showing their extraordinary cultivation; some of them stood on flying swords with sharp eyes, revealing their strength that should not be underestimated.
Shangguan Jiannan looked at this scene and secretly sighed in his heart: Being able to walk in the void with one's own strength without the help of external objects, this level is at least that of a powerful person who has entered the realm of Tao.
As Guo Xiaotian moved, the air around him seemed to be ignited, the flow rate suddenly accelerated, and the mountain wind became more violent, blowing the towering ancient trees in the mountains and forests rustling, and Cangli Mountain seemed to have turned into a surging ocean.
Under the tense gaze of the crowd, Guo Xiaotian stretched out his body and quickly rose dozens of feet up like a roc spreading its wings, and stood firmly in the center of the mountain wall.
Upon seeing this, the elders from various sects below also adjusted their states, with spiritual energy surging in their bodies, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Guo Xiaotian, who was in mid-air, looked carefully at the mountain wall with his eyes as sharp as torches, looking for the seal that was about to be torn open.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to stand still, waiting for the decisive moment to arrive.
Suddenly, Guo Xiaotian roared like thunder, the sound waves were so loud that the disciples covered their ears but could not resist his power, and their faces were filled with horror.
In a flash, he stepped into the air, his hands flew, and streams of spiritual energy flowed through them, weaving strange hand prints.
In the air, a huge handprint suddenly took shape, and he urgently called for help.
The elders of each sect took action upon hearing the news. The vast spiritual energy in their bodies poured out and gathered in the handprint. The space trembled and a tide of spiritual energy surged. Under the night sky, the spiritual light curtain was dazzling, interweaving into a shocking scene.
