Chapter 185: The Seal Opens
Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and the nail-sized Soul Core in the center of his brows immediately appeared. At the same time, his extreme realm Divine Sense abruptly emerged from within it, quickly circling the red-robed man. Every red ray it touched was immediately devoured. In a blink of an eye, more than ten red rays disappeared from the red-haired man's body.
At this moment, the Soul Devourer had already finished digesting the divided Divine Sense within its body. The instant Wang Lin's Divine Sense retreated, it pounced forward again. This cycle repeated several times. After a few rounds, although some of the red rays around the red-haired man were still replenished by the sea of blood, their number had significantly decreased.
Evidently, the replenishment from the sea of blood also required a certain amount of time. As a result, a hint of vitality appeared in the red-haired man's eyes. During the process of forcing out the divided Divine Sense, he had to endure unimaginable pain. However, now that he saw it taking effect, even ten times more pain would still be willingly borne.
Time slowly passed. The demonic Cultivators around the sea of blood watched the scene quietly, holding their breath. As for Duomu and the others, their hearts were also tense. Whether Wang Lin could open the Seal had a decisive impact on their subsequent plans. If the Seal ultimately failed to open, then no matter how meticulous their plans were afterward, they would all be for naught.
As time flowed, the red rays around the red-haired man spun faster and faster, but their number continuously decreased. He occasionally let out a few low growls. Forcing the divided Divine Sense out of his body for such a long time was a huge burden for him. His face was distorted, and his veins bulged all over his body, like long green worms resting and wriggling on him.
Among the many demonic Cultivators, Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator lowered his head, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his heart. He had painstakingly worked, but unfortunately, at the last moment, it was ruined by someone else. This made his heart bleed. Now, seeing signs of the red-haired man's Seal being broken, he even felt a hint of despair.
Once the red-haired man's Seal was broken and he opened his Sea of Consciousness to obtain the Legacy of Memory, he would surely discover that one-third of this Legacy was missing. By then, with his Divine Abilities, he would only need to perform a Spell to know that Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator was behind it. At that point, only death awaited him.
The reason he dared to be so audacious before was precisely because the red-haired man was Sealed within the sea of blood and could not perceive anything outside. Only within this sea of blood was he unrestricted.
Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator smiled bitterly in his heart. He looked up at Wang Lin and sighed inwardly. He knew this person was the one who entered this place with his disciple. He never expected that due to his calculations, the red-haired man would have a day to break the Seal. If he hadn't let the Six Desires Demonic Lord and others leave a thousand years ago, then although he might not have obtained the Legacy of Memory, his life would have been guaranteed.
All of this could be said to be Karma.
Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator sighed again, but soon, his eyes flashed. He glanced at Duomu and the other ten, his resentment gradually receding as he fell into contemplation.
Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator's various thoughts showed no outward signs. Being cunning and experienced, even when facing a major change, his expression remained calm and composed.
The red-haired man's method of controlling these people was nothing more than the Fusion of divided Divine Sense, leaving behind a brand. The reason Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator could maintain his sanity was largely due to the Cultivation Technique he practiced. In addition to the Profound Heaven Demonic Desire Art, he also had another mysterious Incantation, which he had accidentally obtained during his first visit to the Ancient God Land.
He had not taught this Incantation to anyone; not even the Six Desires Demonic Lord knew of its existence. It was precisely because of this Incantation that, after years of Cultivation, when he was captured by the red-haired man and the divided Divine Sense entered his body, he silently gained the initiative, preventing the divided Divine Sense from merging and suppressing it within his body.
He swept his gaze over Duomu and the others. In fact, many years ago, he had suspected that among the thousands of Cultivators around, it was impossible for him to be the only one who could suppress the divided Divine Sense. Perhaps some people had already suppressed the divided Divine Sense, waiting for an opportunity to act.
And the greatest possibility was these ten Great Blood Sea Generals.
Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator's heart stirred. If these ten people were indeed as he expected, then the moment the Blood Sea Master's Seal opened would also be the moment they made their move. If so, then he might also have a chance to fight!
Thinking of this, Heavenly Demon Rogue Cultivator's heart pounded. He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, calmed his mind, and observed carefully.
Every time Wang Lin devoured a divided Divine Sense, his Soul Core would change. Gradually, as the Soul Core grew larger, he felt a sense of clarity in his mind.
The cooperation with the Soul Devourer also became increasingly tacit. The divided Divine Sense Vortex on the red-haired man's body gradually faded in color, and the divided Divine Sense within it became scarcer.
But at this moment, the surrounding sea of blood suddenly boiled. All the blood plasma on the ground floated up, forming tens of thousands of dense, divided Divine Sense in mid-air, rushing towards the red-haired man.
This sudden change caught everyone off guard. Wang Lin, without a word, decisively retreated his Divine Sense to avoid being affected.
At this time, the red-haired man let out a low growl. He performed Hand Seals, quickly drawing a circle in front of him, then pressed on it. Immediately, a fierce five-colored Qi wave spread out from his body, forming a five-colored light curtain within five zhang of him in a blink of an eye.
Outside the light curtain, those divided Divine Sense surged forward, rapidly moving on its surface.
The red-haired man suddenly looked up, his arrogant and overbearing aura reaching its peak. He muttered to himself, "Tu Si, this Seal cannot trap me, Tuo Sen!"
As he spoke, he casually grabbed with his right hand. Immediately, a demonic Cultivator sitting quietly nearby involuntarily flew up. His face showed terror, and before he could speak, his body immediately flew onto the five-colored light curtain. Instantly, more than ten divided Divine Sense drilled into his body like lightning.
The man screamed repeatedly, his hands constantly tearing at his body. In almost an instant, his entire body was a bloody mess.
One must know that under normal circumstances, this Cultivator's body probably couldn't even withstand a single divided Divine Sense, but now more than ten entered simultaneously. The only consequence awaiting him was death.
This extreme method of infusion was not what the red-haired man preferred, because it brought him no benefit. Once the Cultivator died, the divided Divine Sense within his body would return, doing nothing to help him break the Seal.
But now it was different. At this moment, he was on the verge of breaking the Seal. If he didn't forcefully cast Spells to disperse the divided Divine Sense, then once the five-colored light curtain shattered, those divided Divine Sense would immediately enter his body, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
The red-haired man paid no attention. He drew in the air with his right hand, and a golden symbol suddenly appeared, imprinted on the demonic Cultivator's body. At that instant, a golden glow immediately formed around his body, enveloping him.
Immediately after, a red glow appeared in the red-haired man's eyes. As he continuously pointed with both hands, several more Cultivators flew up. After having several divided Divine Sense fused into them, they were also enveloped in golden light. Their miserable state was the same as the previous ones, a bloody mess.
Wang Lin was secretly alarmed. At this moment, another Cultivator was grabbed by the red-haired man from afar. This person's face showed terror, but soon, a resolute and vicious look appeared. His hands suddenly changed Hand Seals, and his body immediately became illusory, actually disappearing from his original spot and reappearing ten zhang away.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately tore open space with a grab, and his body abruptly rushed in.
The red-haired man's eyes revealed a cold glint. He did not stop him, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He pointed at his glabella with his right hand and softly uttered, "Explode!"
With a bang, the Cultivator's body suddenly exploded the moment he entered the Rift, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. A purplish-red divided Divine Sense immediately appeared, rapidly flying to the five-colored light curtain outside the red-haired man's body, joining the ranks of the attackers with the other divided Divine Sense.
The red-haired man's eyes flickered. He suddenly spread his hands and let out a low growl, grabbing in the air. Immediately, hundreds of demonic Cultivators flew up, their faces showing fear and helplessness. However, some Cultivators had expressions completely opposite to the others, revealing a sense of relief. The moment they flew to the five-colored light curtain, divided Divine Sense entered their bodies, and their fate was the same as the previous few, a bloody mess.
After the buffer provided by these hundred people, a small portion of the divided Divine Sense outside the five-colored light curtain had decreased. However, at this moment, the five-colored light curtain was no longer as solid as before, beginning to shake, as if it could shatter at any moment.
Without a word, the red-haired man grabbed again in the air. This time, more than three hundred people were seized by him. Among these people, eight suddenly broke free with various Divine Abilities, desperately fleeing into the distance. As they flew, they each tore open Rifts and drilled into them.
At the same time, four people on the ground also leaped away, tearing open spatial Rifts, rapidly entering them, and disappearing in a flash.
The red-haired man's sneer grew even wider. He did not eliminate these Cultivators as he had before. Instead, after a brief glance, he withdrew his gaze. For him, killing these people was easy, but if their divided Divine Sense returned after their deaths, it would have a considerable impact on his already unstable five-colored light curtain.
Killing these people was not urgent!
Wang Lin had been observing the development of the situation. He knew that the red-haired man would not attack him, as he would undoubtedly still need him for subsequent devouring. Among the fleeing demonic Cultivators, Duomu and the ten others were not present. These ten were now sitting calmly on the stone spikes, expressionless.
At this moment, with the replenishment from nearly four hundred Cultivators, a portion of the red light outside the five-colored light curtain had completely merged into their bodies. Outside the five-colored light curtain, nearly four hundred golden halos floated, each containing a bloody Cultivator, and within their bodies, more than ten divided Divine Sense were fused.
The red-haired man's gaze was icy cold. He swept his eyes over the remaining few hundred Cultivators on the ground. Immediately, three to five more Cultivators, their expressions slightly changing, suddenly tore open spatial Rifts beside them and quickly entered them.
The red-haired man sneered, also not giving chase. Instead, he looked at the Soul Devourer and growled, "Devour!"
The cloud-like Soul Devourer's illusory body suddenly moved, transforming into a large mouth, and abruptly swallowed the red light outside the five-colored light curtain. After swallowing more than ten red lights, it was about to retreat. At this point, the red-haired man frowned slightly. He knew that if he continued to proceed gradually like this, it was very likely to cause the Seal within the sea of blood to surge again.
A vicious look appeared on his face. He suddenly grabbed with his right hand, seizing the Soul Devourer, which was about to retreat and rest, and said in a deep voice, "Continue!"
The Soul Devourer hesitated slightly, opened its large mouth, and swallowed more than ten Divine Sense. But the red-haired man was still not satisfied. He bit his index finger, drew two strange symbols in the air, and slapped them. One of the symbols immediately flashed, penetrated the five-colored light curtain, and quickly imprinted itself on the Soul Devourer.
At that instant, Wang Lin immediately noticed that the Soul Devourer's aura suddenly became violent, and waves of Divine Thought spread out from within it.
"You… broke your promise!"
The red-haired man inhaled, immediately swallowing the remaining symbol into his mouth. Then he said gloomily, "How did Tuo break his promise? It's merely a slight manipulation. As long as you open the Seal for me, I will use Ancient God Power to shape a human form for you and take you out of the Realm of Silence. Now, continue to devour!"
As his words fell, the symbol he had just swallowed immediately flickered a few times on his forehead. At the same time, the Soul Devourer's shadowy cloud also showed the symbol, almost simultaneously flickering.
Immediately after, the Soul Devourer, as if uncontrolled, began to devour frantically. One red ray after another was swallowed by it. Soon, its illusory body showed streaks of red, eventually almost becoming a red cloud.
Wang Lin could clearly feel waves of painful Divine Thought emanating from the Soul Devourer. It was clear that it had devoured too much, exceeding its tolerable limit. If this continued, it was very likely to end up as tragically as the previous Cultivators.
At this moment, the red-haired man's eyes revealed a cold glint, and his gaze fell upon Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's expression was normal. His extreme realm Divine Sense suddenly moved, quickly circling and devouring outside the five-colored light curtain around the red-haired man. This time, Wang Lin's devouring speed was very fast. After continuously devouring more than ten, he clearly felt a sense of saturation, but Wang Lin did not stop, continuing to devour.
However, secretly, he was quietly circulating the Ancient God Art within his body, rapidly dissolving it through his connection with his Divine Sense.
At this moment, the five-colored light curtain outside the red-haired man's body shook even more violently, clearly on the verge of collapsing at any time. However, a small portion of the red light and divided Divine Sense outside still remained. No matter how Wang Lin and the Soul Devourer devoured, they could not completely swallow it in a short time.
Just then, all the stone spikes in the sea of blood, except for the one beneath the red-haired man, shattered with a bang at the same time, turning into red dust. Suddenly, red light faintly emerged from within, as if divided Divine Sense were condensing inside.
The moment the stone spikes shattered, the Cultivators sitting on them all leaped up and dodged away.
The red-haired man's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth, quickly stretched out his hands, and immediately grabbed over three hundred people from the remaining nearly six hundred Cultivators, pulling them towards the five-colored light curtain without a word.
At this instant, the five-colored light curtain shattered with a bang. However, the red light outside it, at the moment the light curtain shattered, was forcefully injected into the bodies of the flying Cultivators by the red-haired man using his Divine Ability.
