Chapter 1431
The two saints who remained at the Merit Tower watched Qin He disappear, then turned back to look at the horizon hundreds of miles away.
That place was far beyond the limits of sight; the clouds surged like boiling water, and the laws of heaven and earth trembled wildly.
With each roar, fine patterns would appear on the ground paved with Soul-Gathering Jade beneath their feet, and the defensive aura above the tower city would flicker accordingly.
The Saint with the spear closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly, his tone tinged with doubt: "Something's not right. The two lords' laws of order are extremely powerful, locking down the battlefield layer by layer, while the aura of the Heavenly Demon is gradually weakening, showing no signs of struggling at all."
The other Saint who held the seal also nodded slowly, his fingertips swirling with merit runes as he surveyed the aftershocks of the battlefield: "The battlefield is not out of control; in fact, it can be said that the two of you are unilaterally crushing the enemy."
He paused, his tone tinged with confusion: "Although the Eternal Life Sect has been making moves on the border recently, they only dare to bully some weaklings on the outskirts. They wouldn't dare to invade Tianqi City even if they had a hundred lives. And what about the 'helpers' Wei Canglan mentioned earlier? Why can't we sense them?"
"No, his injury?" The Saint with the spear's eyes darkened.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes. Their countless past experiences of intercepting evil cultivators made them instantly sense a conspiracy.
"There's something wrong with Wei Canglan!"
The two men roared in unison, their voices filled with shock and anger.
The Sage of the Palm Seal suddenly raised his hand, a dazzling golden light erupting from his palm, and shouted towards the depths of the tower city: "Warning! Warning! Immediately seal off all entrances and exits, and activate the bottom-level sealing array!"
Before the words were even finished, the two figures transformed into two streaks of light and shot into the Merit Tower.
……
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away on the battlefield, the aftershocks of the collision of laws had transformed into tangible thunder, resounding for miles around.
The white-robed saint stood atop the void, his surroundings imbued with the laws of order, like a curtain descending from the sky. Pale blue sword light crisscrossed, cutting the entire world into countless fragments.
Each sword light that fell was not a simple physical strike, but rather directly tore apart the laws surrounding the Heavenly Demon, completely exposing its escape trajectory.
"There's nowhere to run!"
The barefoot strongman shouted coldly, and the giant hammer of merit in his palm crashed down. The laws of the earth surged in response, the continuous mountains collapsed like building blocks, and the heavy earth-yellow power of the law transformed into a cage, squeezing in from all directions and locking the demon's activity range within a hundred feet.
The shadowy demon darted through the gaps, its thin cocoon formed by the golden and black laws being ripped open by the sword light of order, and then constantly trembling under the pressure of the earth laws.
It repeatedly used the Void Concealing Step to try to penetrate the barrier of laws, but the white-robed Saint King anticipated it in advance, and the sword light accurately struck the spatial rift, forcing it to retreat in a sorry state.
Wei Canglan followed closely behind, his golden body of merit surging to thirty feet. He unleashed alternating punches, golden fist shadows pouring down like a torrential rain. Each punch was imbued with the law of purification, constantly eroding the demonic energy surrounding the Heavenly Demon.
The black-robed saint moved about to the side, his deathly aura and meritorious aura intertwined into chains, quietly binding the Heavenly Demon's soul.
The ten saints each performed their duties, their power of laws layering upon each other to form an impenetrable net. Although the Heavenly Demon was able to withstand several attacks with its strange fusion of laws, it was unable to break through the encirclement, and the golden-black aura around it grew increasingly dim as it was continuously depleted.
It no longer tried to turn back and charge, but instead tried its best to escape through the gaps in the laws, its figure flickering like a candle in the wind.
The once domineering demonic aura now seemed somewhat weak and exhausted.
"It can't hold on any longer!" A fierce glint flashed in Chi Yan's eyes as he hurled the Merit Hammer into the air. The hammer swelled dramatically in mid-air, growing to a thousand feet in size, its surface swirling with patterns that drew upon the power of the essence of merit in the world.
"Suppress the Demon!" The white-robed Saint King attacked simultaneously, his fingertip forming the Sword of Order, which condensed all the laws of his body. The sword light was as dazzling as the sun, forming a pincer attack with the thousand-foot giant hammer, and crashed down towards the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon unleashed all its golden and black laws in a final attempt to put up a fight.
This time, however, its defenses were as flimsy as paper, easily pierced by the sword light of order and the giant hammer of merit.
"Pfft-"
Golden divine chains spread wildly from the wound, carrying the domineering power of the law of destruction, instantly shattering the physical barrier of the Heavenly Demon and heading straight for its soul.
The demon's vital points were all pierced, and his golden-black aura dissipated like a tide.
The battle came to an abrupt end.
The Heavenly Demon, who could withstand the attack of a Saint-level being just moments before, was now utterly powerless to resist.
This result far exceeded everyone's expectations, even the White-Robed Saint King was slightly taken aback.
The Heavenly Demon slowly raised his body, his originally blurry outline swaying slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
Before anyone could react, its body transformed into a wisp of demonic energy, which silently dissipated into the void under the strangulation of the golden divine chains.
From the final blow to the demon's dissipation, only twenty breaths passed.
For a Saint-level expert, this amount of time is just enough to enjoy a sip of spiritual tea.
The ten saints stood in the void, their joy of victory instantly replaced by a chilling coldness.
Wei Canglan's pupils constricted sharply, and his golden body trembled violently: "This isn't the real body! It's...it's an avatar?!"
When that wisp of demonic energy dissipated, there was no fluctuation of soul annihilation, only the pure dissipation of laws—this was clearly an avatar condensed from demonic energy and laws, and it did not possess the combat power and soul of the original body at all.
"not good!"
"Fell into a trap!"
The white-robed saint king and Chi Yan roared simultaneously, their voices filled with rage and panic, "Quickly return to Tianqi City!"
Before the words were even finished, the two figures transformed into streaks of light and sped off towards Tianqi City. The other saints also reacted, their faces turning ashen, and they followed closely behind, running at full speed.
Only the chaotic aftershocks of the laws and the lingering faint demonic energy remained in the void, telling the story of this seemingly victorious trap.
