Undying Life

Chapter 488: The Heaven-Dispersing Seal

Supreme beings arrived one after another, surrounding the Ancient Holy Capital. The ground trembled as people stood in awe. Even though they couldn't see all the formidable figures, just a few were enough to fill their hearts with shock.

The supreme leaders of various demon tribes, the emperors of the three great heavenly dynasties, and the masters of the three sacred lands—all were revered by everyone in Shenzhou.

As for those thinking of causing trouble? It was simply impossible. Even if someone had such thoughts before, they now hid away. Trying to cause chaos now would guarantee an unknown death.

Billions of eyes were focused on the Ancient Holy Capital.

In the sky, thunderclouds continued to spit fiery tongues of lightning, repeatedly striking the city below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thunderbolts bombarded the buildings in the Ancient Holy Capital, as if impatiently waiting for Gushentong to take action.

Finally, the thunderclouds grew impatient. A massive purple lightning bolt shot straight towards the central Ancient Holy Hall.

The powerful purple lightning bolt, ten feet thick, was capable of instantly killing even an emperor-level expert.

"Boom!"

Above the Ancient Holy Hall, a sudden burst of golden light repelled the powerful purple lightning bolt, sending it back into the thunderclouds, causing endless lightning to churn.

The thunderclouds continued to spew electric tongues, as if contemplating their next move.

"Clang!"

The grand doors of the Ancient Holy Hall suddenly opened. From inside, a figure in golden robes walked out slowly.

Gushentong wore a flat heavenly crown and a Nine-Dragon Cloud-Smoky Robe. Step by step, he walked out. The lightning did not attack immediately, instead waiting for Gushentong to steady himself.

Standing before the Ancient Holy Hall, Gushentong's calm gaze swept around, as if taking one last look at everything he had achieved over the past ten thousand years.

Wherever his gaze fell, the citizens outside the Ancient Holy Capital felt an almost irresistible urge to kneel in worship.

This was the sky of the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty—Gushentong.

After surveying the surroundings, Gushentong's expression hardened. He looked up at the sky, eyes wide open. The entire world of the Ancient Holy Capital seemed to turn golden, as if Gushentong had become a giant sun, shining in all directions.

The enormous sea of fortune above him poured down like a heavenly river, all rushing into Gushentong's body. This was his fortune; he had the right to command it all.

The fortune of the Ancient Holy Capital was vast. After destroying the five great dynasties and annihilating the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, its fortune had become the greatest in Shenzhou. In just half an hour, all of it surged into Gushentong, infusing his body, ready to be used for creating a new world.

With such absorption, Gushentong's control over the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty became even more perfect. At that moment, Zhong Shan felt a peculiar sensation, as if he had connected with Gushentong.

Not only Zhong Shan, but all fifty billion citizens of the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty felt a similar connection, a strange link to an indescribable place, as if their fates were intertwined.

Zhong Shan's pupils contracted. Was Gushentong planning to take all the people of the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty with him in his endeavor to create a new world?

At this moment, Zhong Shan recalled the decree from two months ago by the three great heavenly dynasties and the three sacred lands, prohibiting anyone from attacking the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty's people for half a year. Did they know what was happening?

Gushentong, now infused with the fortune of his entire dynasty, seemed ready for the monumental task ahead. The world held its breath, awaiting the unfolding of this unprecedented event.

Zhong Shan swallowed hard, focusing on the distant scene.

In the distance, after absorbing all the boundless fortune, Gushentong suddenly turned his hand, revealing a yellowish substance resembling mud. It looked very ordinary.

"Houtu?" Emperor Xuan Xia frowned slightly.

Houtu? Zhong Shan's eyes widened. He knew what Houtu was. It was from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, taken by Gushentong. Could this be the true form of Houtu, fully refined by Gushentong?

Gushentong tilted his hand slightly, and Houtu fell to the ground like a lump of mud. As soon as it hit the ground, it rapidly expanded, covering the Ancient Holy Hall and spreading outwards, soon covering the entire Ancient Holy Capital. It thinned out, leaving only a faint yellow glow.

"Houtu to stabilize the earth. As expected," Emperor Xuan Xia nodded.

"Houtu to stabilize the earth? What does that mean?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Creating a new world involves both the heavens and the earth. This brings threats from both above and below. By using Houtu to seal the earth, Gushentong eliminates any threat from below, allowing him to focus solely on the heavens," Emperor Xuan Xia explained.

"Houtu is that powerful?" Zhong Shan was astonished.

"Houtu originates from the Grand Thousand Worlds, not from this realm. Its effects are naturally unparalleled," Emperor Xuan Xia confirmed.

With Houtu stabilizing the earth, it was as if a declaration of war had been made against the heavens, marking the official start of the event.

In the thunderclouds, endless powerful lightning bolts suddenly rushed toward Gushentong. The sky was filled with cascading lightning, crashing down like a collapsed heavenly river. The immense power was so intense that even Zhong Shan, from a distance, instinctively activated his protective shield to fend off the shockwaves.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each thunderous explosion shook the heavens and the earth. The colossal impacts caused the surroundings to tremble. The intensity was so overwhelming that some weaker individuals began bleeding from their seven orifices and even fainted. The outer regions of the Ancient Holy Capital saw numerous mountains collapse. However, the truly spiritual mountains, nourished by abundant spiritual energy, stood tall and proud.

Inside the Ancient Holy Capital, where Gushentong was, the scene was even more magnificent. Each massive lightning bolt was as powerful as an atomic bomb from Zhong Shan's previous life. The sheer scale and grandeur of the scene were overwhelming.

It was as if atomic bombs were targeting Gushentong. What a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight!

The Ancient Holy Mountain seemed like a nexus of energy, with blinding light radiating in all directions, dazzling countless powerful beings.

Was this the calamity Gushentong had to face?

"Hmph!"

From the center of the lightning storm, a cold snort echoed from Gushentong. The lightning bolts wavered under the force of the snort, showcasing Gushentong's formidable presence.

Everyone knew that Gushentong was about to counterattack. The explosion point of energy suddenly rose, pushed upwards by an immense force.

The Imperial Seal!

That was Gushentong's treasure, the Imperial Seal of the Heavenly Dynasty.

The Imperial Seal expanded to a hundred feet in size, growing larger and larger. Its surface faced the sky, and it fiercely pressed upward. The red imprint on the seal's surface emitted a radiant red light, creating a vast red plane that seemed to push the entire sky upwards.

The thunderclouds seemed to realize something was wrong. Various lightning bolts poured down furiously as if there was no end to their supply. However, the Imperial Seal was too powerful, unstoppable. No matter how many lightning bolts struck, the Imperial Seal withstood them all and continued its relentless advance toward the thunderclouds.

"Boom!"

The massive Imperial Seal crashed into the thunderclouds with a force that was several times louder than the previous lightning strikes. Many strong cultivators couldn't withstand the sound and retreated in a frenzy, moving farther and farther away.

The Imperial Seal pressed firmly against the thunderclouds as if it intended to imprint a giant seal on them. The thunderclouds, unable to release any more lightning, seemed to be suppressed. They emitted a muffled, sorrowful sound, as if in despair.

As the two forces reached a stalemate, Gushentong refused to let it continue. He suddenly extended his right hand, raising his index and middle fingers. His eyes widened as he pointed toward the sky. A vast surge of power shot from his fingertips toward the Imperial Seal. Instantly, the Imperial Seal radiated golden light.

"Boom!"

The world-destroying thunderclouds were shattered by the immense force of the Imperial Seal. Lightning scattered in all directions, spreading aimlessly.

Such strength! Was this the might of Gushentong?

Those who witnessed this scene from afar held their breath. Their eyes filled with astonishment, their blood boiling with excitement.

World-destroying thunderclouds—the weakest lightning bolts within them held the power of an emperor-level expert's attack. Endless heavenly thunder, dispersed by a single strike?

A single seal to scatter the heavens? What immense power and dominance!

Zhong Shan was filled with awe. The Imperial Seal? Was this the power of the jade seal? What about his own Fangtian Jade Seal? It must be even stronger. It must be! Zhong Shan's fists clenched tightly.

After scattering the heavens with a single seal, the Imperial Seal slowly descended into Gushentong's hand.

Gushentong gazed at the sky with a look of disdain, exuding an air of supreme confidence.

The heavens grew angry. Despite the clear skies, an endless rumbling filled the air.

"Crack!"

A massive sound echoed across Shenzhou, as if the entire land had heard it. The heavens were aware of the challenge against them.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Above the Ancient Holy Capital, the sky began to crackle with sharp sounds, like ice breaking. Suddenly, an endless expanse of solid ice appeared in the sky. The ice was so thick it reached from the heavens to the earth, as if it had fallen from the distant stars. A colossal ice pillar, so wide it encompassed the entire diameter of the Ancient Holy Capital, descended from the sky, bringing unprecedented force and power toward Gushentong and the earth below.

This massive ice pillar, like a collision between heaven and earth, carried an ancient, overwhelming might, aiming to crush everything in its path.
