Chapter 1517 Sealing Stone
Ye Ge squinted, observing in the shadows.
The person who emerged from the mist was none other than Sima Qing! Behind him followed Su You and the Black Sword.
Sima Qing walked at the front. He was expressionless, his steps were steady to the point of being mechanical, and dark golden Heavenly Dao patterns flowed deep in his eyes. The left half of his body, which had originally been charred and carbonized, was now covered with golden cracks of Heavenly Dao, making it look as if it were covered with golden lava.
Su You and Hei Jian, who followed closely behind, had completely lost the quality of being "human".
Their eyes were empty and pitch black, devoid of any whites or luster, only an unfathomable darkness. A palpable aura of malevolence enveloped them, and their movements were slightly stiff, clearly indicating they were completely dominated by the Taotie and Qiongqi within them, reduced to mere vessels for ghosts and spirits.
'The power of Heaven's Dao...' Ye Ge clearly sensed that the immense and unusual golden energy fluctuations emanating from Sima Qing's left side were indeed the power of Heaven's Dao. 'Strange, why is he suddenly able to control the power of Heaven's Dao?'
The Azure Dragon Elder said, "I don't know either, but I think it was he who used the power of the Heavenly Dao to activate the automatic defense restrictions of the underground palace."
'Hmm.....' Ye Ge recalled the scene before the underground palace collapsed and fell into the void rift, and the Heavenly Dao technique that Sima Qing used at the end.
At this moment, Sima Qing had walked up to the "unconscious" Ye Ge, stopped, lowered his dark gold eyes, and looked down coldly.
Ye Ge held her breath and calmed herself down, even slowing her heartbeat to its slowest.
"What... happened to them?" Su You asked, her voice low and hoarse, her words broken and fragmented, as if her throat bones were grinding together.
Sima Qing's gaze remained fixed as he calmly said, "The spiritual energy on their bodies will be continuously absorbed by the wood-attribute spiritual energy of this world until it is completely drained and they turn into withered bones."
Black Sword rolled its dark eye sockets: "Should we kill them now?"
Sima Qing remained silent for a moment.
He was unaware of the extent to which the absorption of spiritual energy from this secret realm would affect Ye Ge and the others.
If we attack Ye Ge and the others now and accidentally wake them up, and Ye Ge isn't as weak as we thought after waking up, then it will be very troublesome.
Using the Primordial Qilin Crystal, he was able to briefly gain complete control over the power of the Primordial Qilin larva within his body and use the power of the Heavenly Dao.
But this state of his cannot last long.
The power of the Heavenly Dao has an extremely terrifying backlash on its user. Since ancient times, apart from the Creator God and the Three Primordial Divine Beasts, all those who coveted the power of the Heavenly Dao ultimately met a terrible end.
Sima Qing knew very well that if he could not fully control this power before the time limit expired, his flesh and blood would be annihilated, and the remaining half of his soul would also be scattered!
Therefore, he must break the seal here as soon as possible to obtain the Azure Dragon's remains and sacred bones, as well as the power of the laws that seal this place.
"No need, lest it cause trouble." Sima Qing said calmly, "Anyway, they don't have the power of the Heavenly Dao, and without external help, they can't possibly wake up."
Sima Qing was unaware that Ye Ge could control the power of the Heavenly Dao.
As for Takayuki...
Sima Qing turned his head and looked at Gao Shenxue not far away.
This woman only fused with the power of the Heavenly Dao using extraordinary technology, which is completely different from her control over her own physical body, so there is no need to worry about her waking up.
"Once I break the seal here, obtain the Azure Dragon Sacred Bone, and fully control the power of the Primordial Qilin, all the spiritual energy absorbed by this world will belong to me." After Sima Qing finished speaking, he stopped and walked past Ye Ge to the side.
"..."
Ye Ge muttered to himself, 'This story teaches us that you should always finish the job off...'
Sima Qing arrived in front of a huge white stone.
The rock is shaped like a giant, upright egg, standing over ten meters tall, quietly nestled in the forest meadow.
The stone surface is covered with ancient and obscure seal script, and each stroke faintly flows with the light of a seal.
Sima Qing gave Su You and Hei Jian a meaningful look.
The two understood each other, and in a flash, they had each moved to the left or right side of the boulder. The three of them formed a triangle, surrounding the sealing stone in the center.
Sima Qing's eyes narrowed, and he chanted an incantation in a low voice, raising his palm to slowly inject the condensed power of the Heavenly Dao into the stone body.
Su You and Hei Jian also raised their hands simultaneously, unleashing a surge of fierce soul power that poured into the inscriptions on the stone.
Clearly, they are trying to break the seal on the Sealing Stone.
"What is that stone?" Night Song asked.
The Azure Dragon replied, "It is the core that seals the Azure Dragon's sacred bones and the power of laws within this place."
'Oh...' Ye Ge thought to himself. Although Sima Qing had controlled the power of the Heavenly Dao, he could sense that this guy must have done it through some kind of external force, and the effect probably wouldn't last long.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to break the seal here instead of finishing them off.
'If Sima Qing were to actually obtain the Azure Dragon Sacred Bone and the power of the laws, that would be extraordinary.'
Without further hesitation, Ye Ge immediately began to silently circulate the power of the Heavenly Dao within his body, guiding it to the meridian nodes corresponding to the Horn constellation among the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.
At the same time, he closed his eyes and concentrated, using his mental power to call out to his companions: 'Xue'er? Yao Yao? Ling Ling?'
Leaving aside the others, it's a miracle they're even clinging to life after being drained by this Azure Dragon Wood-attribute holy power.
Xue'er and Yao Yao are probably the ones with the best chance of waking up.
As for Lingling, she is his contracted spirit beast. Logically speaking, since he was able to wake up, he should also be able to wake Lingling up.
"Xiaoye." Gao Shenxue's voice came quickly.
"Huh??" Ye Ge was slightly taken aback. Xue'er had actually woken up all of a sudden?
He then realized: 'You were already awake?'
"Hmm." Gao Shenxue responded softly, "I possess the power of the Heavenly Dao, which allows me to resist the absorption of spiritual energy by this Heavenly Dao."
Ye Ge asked, puzzled, "Isn't your Heavenly Dao power condensed through extraordinary technology? But given that we can't use machines and devices right now, what are you...?"
"Originally, it wasn't possible." Gao Shenxue paused, "But later I learned to control it with my body, I just haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
Night Song: '......'
It really is Fukatsuki's mom after all...
Xue'er herself had no foundation in divine or magical power, yet she was able to learn to channel the power of the Heavenly Dao into her body and control it with her physical form?
This is truly an overpowered, cheat-like boss; it's completely unreasonable...
But that's not important now.
"Xue'er, quickly gather the power of Heaven into the meridians corresponding to the constellation of the Horn Star within your body, and try to replenish the power that was absorbed," Ye Ge said. "I'll go and find a way to awaken Yao Yao and Ling Ling."
Gao Shenxue: 'Okay.'
"Hey, Lingling, Yaoyao." Yege turned her attention back to the other two girls.
'Hmm...'
On the grass, Bai Xueling's cat ears twitched slightly, and she groggily opened her eyes: 'Night Song? ......'
