BXBX NOVEL Chapter 230 - Breaking the Seal
Chapter 230 Breaking the Seal
The ground shook violently.
Accompanying the suppressed roars in the underground palace, the entire valley was trembling.
Crack! Crack!
The ground split open.
With the entrance of the underground palace as the center, thick cracks quickly formed.
Hu hu hu~
Dust filled the air, spread and swirled in the sky.
Bam!
A loud bang resounded through the sky and ground.
Buzz!
Amidst the trembling, the ground of almost the entire valley shattered, and extensive collapse occurred.
Dust billowed and filled the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds from the Bloodseeker Beasts ramming against the underground palace came from underground and soared into the sky.
The shockwave produced by this burst dispersed the dust and revealed a clear hole.
In the large cave, a complete outline of the upper half of the underground palace was exposed under the blue sky.
Boom! Boom!
Loud bangs resounded incessantly.
Muffled roars coupled amongst them echoed through the air.
Wave after wave of shockwaves continued.
In midair, Su Jingxing, Gu Zhanlin, and the others were ready for battle.
“Looking at this impact, the underground palace probably won’t be able to trap them for two hours,” Huang Xinghai commented with a solemn expression, frowning.
“Head Mingyue’s array formation hasn’t been completed yet. Once the underground palace gives in, we’ll have to go first,” said Lu Wuchang.
“General Zhao’s wood attribute treasure hasn’t been delivered yet. I don’t know how long it will take to complete the array formation. I think everyone should be prepared to make a move,” said Bu Qing through gritted
teeth.
“That’s no problem. But are you sure we can’t kill thse Bloodseeker Beasts?”
The person who spoke was a thin middle-aged man wearing an ancient-style battle robe.
“General Xiao, you might not know this, but the structure of a Bloodseeker Beast is very special. They do not have hearts… No, to be precise, they do not have internal organs. Including bones and brain, everything was
evolved from the essence of the Bloodseeker.
On a hill not far away, Pu Mingyue, who was presiding over the early-stage setup of the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array, spoke in a clear voice that resounded in everyone’s ears.
“Due to their unique structure, we can’t kill the Bloodseeker Beasts with ordinary methods. Even if there is only one and it turns back into Bloodseeker Essence Energy after death, it will still be able to absorb blood
energy.
“As long as it is given enough time to absorb enough blood energy, it will be reconstruct to form a new Bloodseeker Beasts!
“Most importantly, the Bloodseeker Essence Energy will automatically search for life forms to invade. For example, once we humans allow the Bloodseeker Essence Energy to enter our bodies, while martial artists who
cultivate true energy will be fine as they can control their true energy to resist it,
99% of the lower-ranked martial artists and ordinary people without true energy will be corroded by the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. From their physical bodies to their souls, they will mutate and in the end, they will
become a new Bloodseeker Beast!”
Silence.
Everyone in the air fell silent.
They were both shocked and in disbelief.
“No wonder Martial Sage Yue chose to seal them away.” After a while, Gu Zhanlin came back to his senses and sighed.
“Is there no way to deal with this Bloodseeker Essence Energy? It can only be sealed?” asked Bu Qing with a frown.
“There is!”
Pu Mingyue’s clear voice sounded again. “In ancient times, even Bloodseekers could be killed, let alone the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. To deal with Bloodseeker Essence Energy other than sealing it, the other way is
to refine it!
“Legend has it that in ancient times, there were some special ultimate techniques and secret techniques that could be used to refine the Bloodseeker Essence Energy. The problem is that most of these ultimate
techniques have been lost, and few people know about them.
“For example, the Hundred Flower Valley only knows about the existence of the Bloodseeker Beasts and some related information about the Bloodseeker Beasts and other Ancient Demons. But there are no records of
how to deal with them.”
“That’s already very good,” said Lu Wuchang with a sigh. “However, if we take care of the Bloodseeker Beasts one by one, turning them back into Bloodseeker Essence Energy and store it in sealed alloy containers. Will
that also have the effect of eternal sealing?”
“You kill a Bloodseeker Beast by extracting its vital energy and absorb a mass of the Essence Energy, and sealing it in an alloy container before burying it in a hidden place?” Gu Zhanlin was puzzled.
“Yes.”
Lu Wuchang’s eyes were bright. “This way, the Bloodseeker Essence Energy won’t be able to invade living beings. And they can dream on about turning back into a Bloodseeker Beast!”
“Good suggestion.”
Su Jingxing said coolly, “Let’s this idea aside, and not talk about whether it can be achieved. If it can really be done, the question is, how can you guarantee that these containers that hold the Bloodseeker Essence
Energy won’t fall into the hands of ambitious people and conspirators?”
“Well…” Lu Wuchang was speechless.
That’s right, there was no lack of conspirators and ambitious schemers at any time.
Ghost Ride was the best example.
Who could guarantee its stability after they turn the Bloodseeker Beasts into balls of Bloodseeker Essence Energy and locked them in fixed containers?
Though sealing the Bloodseeker Beasts could not keep them away from the schemes of conspirators as well,
the seal was extremely powerful. It was not something that could be broken in a short period of time or by a few people.
It required a cautious organization to plan for a long time before taking action.
Even if they did, they might not succeed.
Yue Dongliu had used his own physical body to suppress the seal. Had it not been for the fact that more than half of his strength had dissipated after a thousand years, it would have been impossible for Ghost Ride to
break through the seal with the attacks of a few top-ranked martial artists.
Therefore, Lu Wuchang’s idea could only remain an idea.
It was almost impossible to achieve.
“No matter what, let’s trap the Bloodseeker Beasts first,” said Huang Xinghai in a low voice.
“That’s right.” Gu Zhanlin nodded and looked at the rest. “We’ll have to trouble the generals when the Bloodseeker Beasts come out later.”
“There’s no need to speak further about this. Since we’ve already agreed, we’ll naturally hold on until the end.”
The tall man who was the first to wake up and rush out of the water said in a low voice.
“Yes, yes. I naturally believe General Wan’s words.” Gu Zhanlin smiled.
As one of the three second-grade experts of the Flying Lion army, the tall man’s name was Wan Sansi.
The two others were a thin middle-aged man named Xiao Yuanfang,
and a woman with a cold demeanor with a veil on her face. Her name was Zhou Leng.
When Liu Chenglong was still alive, the three of them were generals under the command of the Rising Dragon Saber King.
400 years after sealing themselves, they had come back to life.
For now, their tones remained polite and refined.
This was especially so for Wan Sansi. He was the most inflexible and seemingly the strongest. However, his behavior and actions were extremely strict. He was very rigid and had no smile on his face.
tt would be difficult to even share a few words with him, let alone joke around.
Looking at him, Gu Zhanlin’s plan completely dissipated…
A loud explosion interrupted the discussion.
Everyone immediately turned to look in the direction of the sound.
The northwestern corner of upper half of the underground palace that had been exposed suddenly shattered, revealing a hole.
Whoosh!
The moment the hole appeared, a disheveled figure emerged from within and soared into the sky.
“It’s him!”.
