Chapter 181 Seal Crisis
Xiao Muchen took heavy and cautious steps, slowly approaching the mysterious and frightening sealed place step by step. With each step forward, the strong, almost suffocating, oppressive and evil aura came more and more violently, as if an invisible, cold and huge magic hand tightly and mercilessly strangled his throat, making his breathing difficult and rapid.
When he finally reached a distance where he could clearly see the seal in its entirety, his heart seemed to instantly fall into an endless abyss of darkness. On the huge seal, countless fine cracks crisscrossed and intersected. These cracks were delicate and fine, just like a spider web that was once carefully woven but now ruthlessly destroyed. The dark energy was like thick ink that could not be dissolved, and it continuously and violently seeped out from these dense cracks. They twisted and entangled wantonly in the air, transforming into strange and terrifying shapes. Each shape seemed to be a demon from the depths of hell, exuding a creepy, bone-chilling evil aura.
Just as Xiao Muchen was concentrating on observing the desperate seal, without any sign or sound, a group of mysterious black shadows, like ghosts, emerged silently from the bottomless dark corners at an alarming speed. These shadows were like ghosts, their bodies were illusory and uncertain, and they seemed to be able to blend perfectly with the surrounding darkness at will, making it almost impossible to distinguish their exact outlines. One could only vaguely distinguish the general human form through the vague outline, but the extremely distorted body and the disgusting evil aura that permeated undoubtedly showed that they were not kind and gentle beings.
After some intense and careful exploration and perception, Xiao Muchen was shocked to find that these shadows were actually dark creatures from the universe. They were strongly attracted by the dark energy leaking from the gradually loosening and precarious seal, and were firmly controlled by this dark force. In that mysterious and vast universe, they were originally evil beings hidden in the endless dark abyss, often lurking in the darkest and most secret corners, devouring the souls and powers of other powerful creatures in an extremely cruel and greedy way, so as to continuously enhance their own strength.
These shadows were so powerful that they were frightening. Each of them possessed the terrifying strength of at least an eight-star Dou Sheng. The most powerful and fierce ones among them had even touched the peak realm of a nine-star Dou Sheng. Their movements were as fast as lightning, fleeting and erratic, making it almost impossible for people to catch their movement trajectory and to predict their next move.
As soon as the shadows appeared, they launched an extremely fierce, deadly and merciless attack on Xiao Muchen without hesitation or pause. Xiao Muchen only felt a flash of black shadows in front of him, and a strong wind with a sharp whistling sound, as if it could tear through the space, suddenly attacked his face at an alarming speed like a deadly sword. Relying on the instincts acquired from years of practice, he subconsciously dodged sideways at an extremely fast speed, and swung the long sword in his hand swiftly. A sharp sword light instantly passed through the darkness, but it only hit an illusory, phantom-like shadow. Then, more fierce, complex and deadly attacks came from all directions like a storm. Some were claw winds as sharp as hooks, carrying a biting chill that could penetrate everything; some were air currents as cold as ice that would not melt for thousands of years, instantly freezing the surrounding air into frost; others were strange, unpredictable, irresistible and defensive dark energy fluctuations, like invisible vicious tentacles, frantically trying to corrode his soul.
Xiao Muchen instantly fell into a tough, life-or-death battle. His figure was as swift and agile as the wind, shuttling back and forth in the stormy attacks of the black shadows, swinging the long sword in his hand tightly, trying to use all his strength and skills to desperately resist the fierce attack that was like a tidal wave and almost swallowed him. But the actions of these black shadows were too fast, too strange and changeable, and the attack methods were even more difficult to defend against, making it difficult for him to deal with them.
Xiao Muchen's clothes were soon brutally torn by the ruthless and fierce attacks of the shadows, and several bloody wounds of varying depths appeared on his body. Blood continued to seep out of the wounds, staining his clothes red, but there was no trace of retreat or fear in his eyes. Instead, he became calmer, more determined and resolute in this extremely dangerous situation. While waving the long sword in his hand, he fought back the shadows approaching him with an indomitable spirit, and kept observing and alerting the seal with the corner of his eyes. The cracks on the seal were constantly expanding and deepening at a terrifying and creepy speed under the continuous and unscrupulous erosion of the dark energy. He became more and more anxious and uneasy, as if a burning flame was burning his heart.
"No, we can't delay this meaninglessly any longer!" Xiao Muchen shouted angrily and anxiously in his heart. He took a deep breath and circulated the fighting spirit in his body without reservation and with all his strength. In an instant, an extremely dazzling and brilliant light emanated from his body. The fighting spirit was like a blazing, blazing flame, illuminating the large areas of darkness around him.
Xiao Muchen displayed a powerful and shocking fighting skill. The sword was instantly covered with a layer of blazing light like the blazing sun in the sky. Every swing brought with it a powerful force that could split mountains and rocks and destroy everything, and the approaching black shadows were firmly and powerfully repelled again and again. But the black shadows did not seem to be afraid of his resistance at all, and they continued to attack like a tide, tirelessly and frantically. Their eyes flashed with deep contempt and disdain for Xiao Muchen, as if they were mercilessly mocking and belittling the weakness and incompetence of this creature from the Douqi Continent.
In this extremely fierce and seemingly endless battle, Xiao Muchen gradually discovered that these shadows seemed to be completely controlled and manipulated by the dark energy in the seal. Although their movements were as fast as lightning and difficult to capture, they had certain rules and patterns to follow. He began to rely on his extremely keen observation ability that could see through all the details and his rich combat experience from countless battles to concentrate on finding the tiny flaws and weak links in the shadows' attacks.
After an arduous and thrilling life-and-death struggle, Xiao Muchen finally succeeded in capturing the rhythm and pattern of the black shadow's attack with his wisdom, courage and tenacious perseverance. He saw an extremely short and fleeting opportunity, and stabbed out the long sword in his hand with an indomitable and desperate momentum, accurately hitting the fatal point of a black shadow. The black shadow let out an extremely shrill and horrifying scream, and the whole body turned into a wisp of black smoke and instantly dissipated in the air, as if it had never existed.
With this hard-won and crucial breakthrough, Xiao Muchen's attack became more fierce, decisive and resolute, and one shadow after another disappeared under his unstoppable sword. But he knew clearly in his heart that time was extremely tight and the huge crisis of the seal was far from being resolved. He had to race against time and go all out to find a way to stop the further infiltration and spread of dark energy as soon as possible.
