Ju Ren calmly flicked the Judge's Brush in the air, and a small black dot shot towards the Qian Kun Ring, expanding at a visible rate. In an instant, it grew to the size of a small mountain.
The black energy seemed almost substantial. Upon collision, it emitted earth-shattering sounds and dazzling sparks.
Mo Qi's body felt as if it had suffered a violent impact. He was sent flying back dozens of feet before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Linghu Xiaoxian's side gained some respite!
She immediately intensified her attack, guiding the Golden Staff to push the mass of black mist back.
The black mist rapidly contracted!
Ju Ren suddenly shook the body of his brush, and the mist surged again, whistling towards Linghu Xiaoxian. The strong wind roared.
Mo Qi's bones felt like they were coming apart, but he had no time to rest. After swallowing a healing pill, he held the Xuanyuan Sword in his palm, and a golden light flashed.
The mist was instantly cleaved apart!
Ju Ren's expression changed drastically!
The attack was fierce and swift!
He barely had time to react, managing only to block it with the Judge's Brush.
A colossal boom resounded, like striking a giant bell, deafeningly loud.
Ju Ren was violently sent flying backward, crashing hard against the stone door.
Bloodied all over, Ju Ren slumped down the stone wall!
Just as Mo Qi let out a sigh of relief, he crawled back up the stone wall.
His face was a bloody mess, looking terrifying. Yet, with his blood-drenched face, he managed to force a smile.
It looked incredibly ferocious and eerily strange!
Mo Qi instinctively felt that something was wrong!
But where could the problem lie?
Ju Ren suddenly let out a mighty roar, lunging forward and smashing his head against the runes on the stone door.
He smashed his head until it bled!
A stone was embedded in the stone door, and the runes were originally carved onto that stone.
With his impact, the stone was shattered into pieces.
The runes were naturally destroyed!
Ju Ren's head was broken, and he died miserably.
A wisp of black energy floated out from his body, coalescing into an alluring, human-like form – a familiar figure.
This time, Mo Qi did not get a nosebleed!
He hated her to the core!
He hurled the Qian Kun Ring at her.
However, her face was filled with an inexplicable smile!
Then, before the Qian Kun Ring could reach her, that smile cracked open!
Because her ethereal silhouette dissipated into the air like light smoke!
Mo Qi slumped to the ground, unsure of what would happen next.
Linghu Xiaoxian also stared at the stone door with utter dread.
The stone door began to emit creaking sounds, as if a demon from the primordial world was about to awaken.
The entire ground started to shake violently!
This tremor even reached the surface, causing the entire Sun Moon Sect to tremble!
Ancestor Shen immediately surmised that the seal on this stone door was likely opening!
He immediately unleashed his movement technique and sped towards the Ascending Immortal Secret Realm!
Deep within the Primordial Southern Sea, the entire Dragon Palace also began to shake violently, with people stumbling and falling.
At this moment, a crack appeared on the ground before Mo Qi, extending infinitely forward.
The entire underground palace began to shake, and stones rained down from above.
Linghu Xiaoxian dodged while urgently saying, "Quick, find a way to stop him! If we don't, we'll die here, and perhaps all living beings in the world will suffer."
What kind of person was sealed within?
The aura of their emergence was already so terrifying!
It felt as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth to shatter.
Mo Qi felt a headache coming on. What could he possibly do?
For some unknown reason, the face of Wu Fan suddenly appeared in his mind.
What he could do, he could also do.
Suddenly, a surge of heroic spirit filled his heart.
Just as the stone door had opened a crack, Mo Qi lunged forward. A talisman appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, the restriction talisman floated gently forward and adhered to the position where the rune stone had been.
The talisman, as if being scorched by fierce flames, rapidly curled up.
And the stone door began to open to the sides.
Mo Qi hastily chanted the Buzhou Mind Power Incantation. A dominant force was unleashed silently. There were no earth-shattering sounds, no overwhelming aura.
Instead, it was like a pair of gentle hands, silently grasping the stone door.
The creaking sound of the opening door actually stopped!
At this moment, Ancestor Shen, within his own cave dwelling, sensed a threat approaching that could destroy the Sun Moon Sect and even the entire Pengqu Island. He immediately flew out, preparing to head for the Ascending Immortal Secret Realm.
At this moment, a figure with an immortal aura appeared before him and said, "You don't need to go. I'll go take a look."
It was precisely Ancestor Tan!
Ancestor Tan's face was filled with worry as he said, "In reality, only Ancestor Yin can restrain him. Now that Ancestor Yin is not here, I can only do my best."
"So," Ancestor Shen said with shock, "is it truly him who is about to emerge?"
"Yes," Ancestor Tan nodded. "I will go down to take a look. If the situation is dire, you are responsible for leading everyone away."
"Ancestor!"
Ancestor Tan's figure had already vanished into the air, leaving behind only his echo: "Remember, the Sun Moon Sect does not relocate unless absolutely necessary."
Ancestor Shen felt a bit lost. When would it be absolutely necessary?
At this moment, on the fifth level of the Ascending Immortal Secret Realm, Mo Qi was strenuously exerting his mind power to prevent the stone door from opening further.
The stone door had already opened a crack, and a force was fiercely pushing outwards from within.
It was precisely that force that was gradually curling and shrinking the talisman!
As if driven by a strange power, or perhaps intentionally, Mo Qi's entire body slid like ice skating to the front of the stone door.
One hand produced a talisman and placed it on the damaged spot of the stone. Once placed, it began to curl rapidly again.
Concurrently, Mo Qi's body was almost pressed against the stone door.
At such close proximity, he could exert his mind power to its maximum extent.
Linghu Xiaoxian watched his series of peculiar actions. She wanted to help but had no way to intervene, feeling somewhat flustered.
"Go quickly!" Mo Qi suddenly uttered two words, seemingly with great difficulty.
Linghu Xiaoxian's heart skipped a beat. "If you go, I go too."
Mo Qi gave a tragic smile, similar to the determination Wu Fan had shown when facing him: "I definitely can't leave. There's no need for you to make a futile sacrifice."
"No," Linghu Xiaoxian said stubbornly. "If you don't go, I won't go either."
At this moment, the powerful force from within the stone door surged, and the entire stone door rumbled.
It was like the sound of the world being created, of mountain floods erupting, of meteorites falling!
Even from a distance, one could feel waves of impact deep within their hearts.
It caused Linghu Xiaoxian's eyelids to flutter uncontrollably!
However, the stone door remained unmoving!
Therefore, all this tumultuous, world-destroying power was borne by Mo Qi.
Mo Qi stood there blankly, one hand forming a seal.
His legs trembled uncontrollably!
And on his body, with each impact, cracks began to appear in multiple places, and blood spurted out.
In an instant, he became a bloodied figure!
Linghu Xiaoxian cried out in fear and lunged forward, attempting to lend him strength. The moment she touched Mo Qi's body, she was repelled, falling back several yards.
"Let's go, please? We'll abandon it. I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked you to find a solution," Linghu Xiaoxian said incoherently as she got back up.
"Go!" Mo Qi, with his back to her, uttered the word with great difficulty.
Due to the immense effort, his tone carried a hint of resentment.
He truly wanted to curse!
It was better for one person to die than for thousands, a simple calculation. Why couldn't she understand?
Being so indecisive at this moment only made things more unbearable!
But at this moment, he found he didn't even have the strength to say another word.
Or rather, he needed to conserve that breath to resist the tearing force from within.
At this moment, his spiritual awareness fully opened, and he could sense the presence of the person within.
As if face to face, he saw the person's appearance clearly!
It was a young man with a delicate face!
Normally, this face had no connection to a demon!
But at this moment,
He was hysterical!
He was driven to madness!
His face was contorted!
His veins bulged!
He wanted to break free from his cage!
He wanted to be reborn!
He felt the restriction outside the stone door loosening. He also sensed the insignificance of the person trying to reinforce the restriction. Under normal circumstances, a single finger could have annihilated him.
But for some reason, he was inexplicably tenacious!
This made him even more agitated!
And even more enraged!
However, trapped within the prison, if the outer restriction remained unbroken, he would still be constrained everywhere.
But even so, he possessed enough power to destroy the opponent with a single breath.
He unleashed his spiritual energy, continuously pushing the stone door, like the tide, crashing against the shore wave after wave!
Mo Qi's body continuously endured the immense tearing force. Even at moments when he felt his body being ripped apart, he maintained his mind power without faltering.
The creaking sounds transformed into dull thuds, bearing witness to the force the stone door was withstanding.
