Chapter 241 Ancestor Demon Dies!_2
So Lin Xi now faced another question—if he used the Seal Heavenly Stamp again, would he once again be attacked by his own technique? Moreover, he had previously deployed the true divine skill of the Dong Tian Chi, which ultimately resulted in him being drained of a substantial amount of life force. What if that scenario recurred at this moment? Wouldn't that spell certain death for him?
Because Lin Xi couldn't be sure if what had happened before was the work of the black bug, a problem with this space, or, perhaps, someone clandestinely copying his moves?
However, even as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Xi made up his mind. Only those who cower and hesitate could not be called strong!
Having made up his mind, Lin Xi hesitated no longer. With a sweep of his right hand, the Dong Tian Chi emitted a burst of green light before disappearing straight into the void, while his hands moved continuously forming Double Hand Seals—the unique skill of the Genesis Divine Nation, the Seal Heavenly Stamp!
With his hands fluttering like butterflies weaving through flowers, this time the power of the Seal Heavenly Stamp was many times more formidable than the last.
The previous time he confronted the black bug with the Seal Heavenly Stamp, Lin Xi didn't form any Seal Formation; he simply triggered the final Hand Seal, and the Spatial Chains that appeared to seal the black bug were black. The black Spatial Chains were the lowest level within the Seal Heavenly Stamp.
As Lin Xi's hand seals didn't cease, a green flash suddenly appeared behind the Ancestor Demon. This time, the Ancestor Demon was clearly prepared, ducking to avoid the assault of the Dong Tian Chi. Yet, to his surprise, just as his body ducked beneath the green light, another beam of green light erupted from the earth beneath him, thrusting straight towards the Ancestor Demon's abdomen.
Although the right arm of the Ancestor Demon was disabled, his movements were not the slightest bit impeded. He pressed a single hand to the ground, leaping and twisting his body to avoid the green beam. But the battle was far from over. Since the Ancestor Demon evaded the green beam with a single-hand brace, his body was inevitably positioned sideways in mid-air.
Then, from behind him, not one, but two beams of green light suddenly appeared, aiming directly at the Ancestor Demon's heart from behind. Even though he couldn't see the attack coming, his heightened sense of danger allowed the Ancestor Demon to detect the offense. He pushed off with his left hand, soared into the air, and for the third time, avoided the attack of the green light.
Yet, this time, it seemed the Ancestor Demon had realized something. Suspended in mid-air, not waiting to land, three more green beams appeared above his head. But this time the Ancestor Demon didn't seem to have the intention to avoid all of them. Instead, he stepped on the void, bent back his left arm, and prepared to face the three green beams head-on.
Soon, the three beams of green light were about to hit the elbow of the Ancestor Demon's left arm when he suddenly shouted low and contorted his body at an unbelievable angle to dodge the three beams.
At that moment, Lin Xi bellowed, "Seal Heavenly Stamp, Bind!" As soon as the voice fell, dozens of golden chains suddenly appeared in the void surrounding the Ancestor Demon, binding him tightly. Despite the Ancestor Demon's frantic struggles, he was completely unable to break free!
Seeing the Seal Heavenly Stamp successfully imprison the Ancestor Demon, Lin Xi did not let his guard down, but remained even more vigilant, waiting almost ten breaths. Noticing nothing out of the ordinary and without similar Spatial Chains coming to bind him, Lin Xi finally took a deep breath of relief; it seems he had gambled correctly.
Slowly approaching the Ancestor Demon, Lin Xi remained silent, merely gesturing with his hand as the Dong Tian Chi materialized out of thin air. That's when the Demon Clan suddenly spoke, "To think someone could wield a Domain Instrument with such divine finesse, truly a genius. You've even cultivated the Genesis Divine Nation's Seal Heavenly Stamp to the second tier!
I must admit, your talent even surpasses that of Yao Wumeng. Had he possessed your talent, how could he have only obtained a single Shadow Stele? Otherwise, my power wouldn't have waned to this extent. Lin Xi of the Genesis Divine Nation, one day, I shall personally destroy you to avenge today's defeat!"
Lin Xi smirked and replied, "If I could vanquish you once today, I can vanquish you again in the future! And what makes you think I've only cultivated the Seal Heavenly Stamp to the second tier?"
"Hmph, audacious. How dare you, a mere Nine Patterns Supreme, even speculate about destroying me? You truly do not understand the vastness of heaven and earth!" As the Ancestor Demon's voice faded, Lin Xi's finger flicked, and the Dong Tian Chi, cloaked in green light, directly pierced through the Demon Clan's skull!
As the skull shattered, the Ancestor Demon's body slowly faded and eventually vanished completely.
Seeing the Ancestor Demon had perished, Lin Xi swayed and abruptly sat down on the ground. After taking a deep breath, he finally felt somewhat better. The second tier of the Seal Heavenly Stamp was indeed more terrifying than the first tier, not only in its enhanced binding ability but also in the physical exhaustion it caused Lin Xi.
Moreover, he had to control the Dong Tian Chi to execute attacks simultaneously. Despite the appearance of only a few beams of green light, there was a profound trick involved.
Each green light was both the true and false Dong Tian Chi. If you blocked it, it was merely an ordinary attack; if you failed to block or were too slow, it would become the actual Dong Tian Chi. Moreover, these two aspects switched unpredictably—one moment the green beam you blocked would be insubstantial, and the next, it might be real. Experience more tales on empire
Or if you deduced that the beam was illusory and chose not to dodge, the next one would become real. The essence of this technique was its indiscernible switch between illusion and reality. Had the Demon Clan's intuition not been so strong, this technique would have injured him. But now, it served merely to distract the Ancestor Demon.
After consuming an Elixir, Lin Xi felt somewhat revitalized. He turned his head to look but saw neither Bi Hai nor Yao Wumeng had revealed themselves. He then stood up, intending to go aid King of Qin. But just then, Lin Xi's body stiffened, and as he looked down, he found a bright red sword had pierced right through his chest.
Struggling to turn around, Lin Xi saw Yao Wumeng holding the sword, standing behind him. Before he could speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lin Xi, I exchanged a Shadow Stele for your life; you should feel honored. Fenji, Explosion—," before Yao Wumeng could finish, movement caught his attention from behind. Without time to look back, he heard a voice close behind him, "Yao Wumeng, today it's you who should die!"
