Chapter 1639: Young Friend, Such Ruthless Scheming!

“Boom!”

The moment the Golden Seal collided with the tower’s body, it erupted with a deafening roar, violently shaking the entire Five-Color Restriction.

The Obsession Tower, already hollow due to Ku E’s absorption of the resentful evil’s source, was filled with resentful spirit remnants mostly annihilated by Ku E, unable to withstand this full-force attack.

Cracks resembling spider webs instantly spread across the tower’s body, black mist frantically leaked from the cracks, and the tower swayed incessantly, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

“It’s not over yet!” Zhou Qing’s eyes were sharp, not giving Ku E any breathing space, his hands rapidly forming seals once again.

Spiritual light flowed faster at his fingertips, he shouted again: “Second Seal – Sealing Heaven!”

With this shout, numerous intricate Dao Patterns suddenly appeared in the air.

These Dao Patterns seemed to come alive, quickly weaving and intertwining into a gigantic celestial net, enveloping the air above the entire Obsession Tower.

As soon as the celestial net took shape, a peculiar power spread out, even the surrounding flow of time seemed to slow down.

Even outside the array, Second Uncle felt his thoughts in the Sea of Consciousness becoming sluggish, let alone Ku E trapped inside the tower.

Then, a golden seal even more ethereal than the “Demon Suppression Seal” slowly condensed at the center of the celestial net.

This “Sealing Heaven Seal” had a blurry outline, with edges constantly flickering, clearly not yet fully solidified.

This was Zhou Qing’s first time using the Second Seal in actual combat.

During the two-year journey back from the Holy Martial Dynasty to the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, besides accompanying his daughter Yaoyao, he spent all other time comprehending this “Sealing Heaven Seal,” already understanding its basic structure.

Recently, with the help of studying the enlightening ancient tea, he was only a step away from mastering it completely.

Though not yet perfect, it was already sufficient to exert a deterrent force.

Outside the array, Second Uncle watched Zhou Qing condense the “Sealing Heaven Seal,” full of astonishment, his mouth slightly agape.

Today, Zhou Qing gave him so many surprises!

First, he broke through to Spirit Slash Realm Perfection, and now he even condensed the Second Seal of the “Daluo Demon Sealing Seal!”

He had carefully reviewed this Inscription-level Divine Technique, consisting of only three seals.

The power of each seal was boundless, for ordinary cultivators to completely master an Inscription-level Divine Technique within their lifetime was an extraordinary talent.

Yet he never imagined, Zhou Qing not only mastered the First Seal but also reached the Second Seal in such a short time.

This talent is terrifying to the point of disbelief!

After the shock, a gratified smile appeared on Second Uncle’s face.

…

“Suppress!” Zhou Qing roared, his hands fiercely pressing down.

The “Demon Suppression Seal” and “Sealing Heaven Seal” simultaneously exerted power, the ethereal “Sealing Heaven Seal” first landed on the pinnacle of the Obsession Tower.

Numerous Dao Patterns, like chains, drilled into the tower’s cracks, thoroughly sealing the energy flow within the tower.

Then the “Demon Suppression Seal” descended again, with destructive force, savagely hitting the tower’s body.

“Crack—Boom!”

The Obsession Tower could no longer withstand the suppression of the two seals, shattering with a response.

Black mist surged out like a flood breaking a dam, countless fragments of resentful spirits, and pieces of resentful evil floated in the mist, crazily fleeing in all directions.

But before they could escape far, the Five-Color Restriction suddenly burst into radiant light, forming a solid barrier.

It firmly trapped all black mist and fragments of resentful spirits within the restriction, no matter how they collided, they couldn’t break through the slightest.

Seeing escape was impossible, these resentful spirit fragments and resentful evil qi instantly changed direction, roaring towards the only two living beings within the restriction – Zhou Qing and the old hen.

Zhou Qing saw this and snorted coldly, his hands forming seals controlling the “Demon Suppression Seal” and “Sealing Heaven Seal.”

“Ignorant of death!”

The golden seal rapidly rotated in the air, emitting countless golden beams like sharp swords, shooting towards the fragments of resentful spirits.

Every beam that hit the target exploded with purification power, instantly dissolving the fragments of resentful spirits, leaving only shrill screams and roars.

Golden beams fell like a rainstorm, continuously exterminating the fragments of resentful spirits and resentful evil qi, the black mist grew thinner, and the cries within the restriction gradually diminished.

After an unknown period, the last wisp of resentful evil qi was hit by a golden beam, turning into a puff of blue smoke and dissipating.

The restriction finally returned to tranquility, leaving only the black residue scattered on the ground and Zhou Qing standing at the center of it.

At this moment, a black figure slowly emerged from the remaining mist—it was Ku E.

His body was covered in wounds, his monk robe was long shredded, and all exposed skin was marked with burn scars, his eyes filled with resentment, staring relentlessly at Zhou Qing.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to curse angrily, he shook his head vigorously, showing a look of disbelief.

His hatred towards Zhou Qing was mysteriously disappearing!

Those two eerie signs had been effective for a day and a night now!

“Young friend, truly a ruthless scheme!” Ku E’s voice hoarse and dry, carrying unwillingness and resignation, yet the previous ferocity was gone.

Zhou Qing looked at him, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “Mutual deception! You intended to use me to absorb the source of resentful evil, I merely went along with it.”

After his words fell, Zhou Qing forcefully pressed down with both hands, the “Demon Suppression Seal” and “Sealing Heaven Seal” simultaneously smashed towards Ku E.

“Don’t even think!” A fierce glint flashed in Ku E’s eyes, he exploded with the remaining spiritual power in his body, forming seals with his hands to defend.

But just then, Zhou Qing suddenly shouted toward Ku E’s direction: “Gui Cang! If not now, then when will you retaliate?”

This shout resounded like thunder within the Five-Color Restriction.

The sound waves carried Spirit Slash Realm Perfection’s spiritual power, directly penetrating Ku E’s body, reaching deep into his Sea of Consciousness!

Almost at the moment Zhou Qing’s voice fell, Ku E’s body began to tremble violently.

As if controlled by an invisible force, his limbs convulsed uncontrollably, the black energy around him turned chaotic.

Atop his head, the long dim golden note marked “Great Father,” suddenly emitted dazzling light.

The characters flickered intensely, the originally blurry outline becoming clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until it shone ever brighter, emanating a pure aura starkly different from Ku E’s demonic nature.

“No! Impossible!” Ku E issued a hoarse roar of anger, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

He never imagined that with his nearly complete control over this body, Gui Cang’s consciousness could still awaken, even muster such a fierce counterattack!

Almost simultaneously, the Sea of Consciousness originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly cracked open, and pure Buddha Light surged from the crevice.

Gui Cang’s consciousness gradually turned into a teenager’s spectral form, clad in simple white monk robes, a resolute look on his face—it was his original appearance.

However, this spectral form currently appeared extremely weak, the Buddha Light around him dim, seemingly blown away by a breeze.

This was the result of over ten years spent under Ku E’s incessant erosion and suppression of consciousness.

And in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, Ku E’s consciousness turned into an old monk’s spectral form.
