1169 Blackmail, Threat, & Respect

Wang Ju and Hong Meiling focused all their powers, but that claw that resembled a crab was persistent, trying everything in its power to prevent being sealed.

"Roar!"

A terrifying scream rushed from the other side of the portal, and the two immediately started hearing murmurs. An irritating voice kept repeating the sentence: "Nothing is real, everything is false, and the only truth is the Dreamer in the Deep."

This simple sentence seemed to contain an undeniable truth, so as soon as they heard it, these two powerful cultivators immediately started to question everything they knew to be real. Was their world real? Was the sky truly blue? Do stars really exist? What about the people close to them? Were the relationships they cherished real? More importantly, was their strength real or another great illusion of life?

"Wake up," roared a voice deep in Wang Ju's mind, and she instantly recognized it since she spent all her life dedicated to that voice. She experienced the change from a child to an adult and to the powerhouse that stood at the top of the world. Wang Ju used Wang Wei's Pain Innate Talent on herself, using the pain to distract herself from the murmur.

She then helped Hong Meiling with the same method. "Is the pain bearable?"

"I'm fine," she replied with a groan. The pain was indeed terrible, but it was an excellent way to ignore the terrifying murmurs.

"Then, let's continue." The claw had used this opportunity to push further from its prison. Wang Ju further pushed her body to the limit, resulting in all her black hair turning white. As an immortal, she does not lack a life span, but this change indicates that the essence of her body and soul are running out, and she will not survive for long.

Sadly, her action did not have the effect she wanted. The two made little to no progress with the plan to teleport this gate to Samsara and only managed to delay the creature's freedom.

"Damn it, what is this thing?" Wang Ju cursed. However, determination flashed in her eyes as she realized she made the correct choice. That creature had weakened to an extent, but its power was still fierce. Her master will definitely pay a steep price to deal with it, so she must prevent that from happening.

'But what should I do?'

[Seal of Darkness]

Yu Yan suddenly appeared with an orb in her palm that seemed to embody darkness. The orb became a seal before adding to the gate, pushing the creature's claw back a few inches. Her eyes turned red briefly before reverting to their original state.

Yu Yan expected this change and protected herself with a brilliant technique called [Seed of Darkness]. She created a seed inside her body capable of absorbing all negative emotions, buffs, or status. In other words, the creature's spiritual attack only made the seed bloom faster, which she can use as a potent attack.

Yu Yan frowned. Her seed was growing at an alarming rate, unlike anything she had ever seen. Furthermore, her attack did not do as much as she hoped for.

Wang Ju glanced at her and immediately noticed her 10-fold or 69.999% strength. 'I was right,' she thought. People might think the Sect Madam's current strength might result from a talisman left by her son beforehand to protect her, but her eyes saw the truth. She saw Yu Yan's current robe was the Golden God's armor transformed to hide from others.

'Focus,' she reminded herself. They were still in a precarious situation. 'Forget about teleporting it; we will be lucky if we manage to buy enough time.' Countless thoughts flashed in her mind, trying to find a solution.

'What would my lord do in this situation?' Wang Ju asked herself.

Boom!

A booming sound echoed in the void, followed by a brilliant golden light that came out of nowhere and plunged into the gate, reinforcing the seal. The creature roared; however, it was hard to tell whether it was out of pain, anger, annoyance, or all three.

'Feng Heng?' Wang Ju was confused. The person looked like the monk she knew, but his aura was completely different. He was holy and noble, and more importantly, his strength was similar to Hong Meiling or, specifically, her master.

'How is that possible?' She squinted her eyes as she used her power of divination to find the truth. Such a change might seem advantageous to the current situation, but without knowing how, things might become even more unpredictable, thus aggravating the current problem.

'Is this power coming from the Western Pure Bliss Land?' Wang Ju knew the original was a Forbidden Land, but now it had turned into a powerful foundation for the Western Bliss Sect.

'Are those people finally making a move?' Wang Ju thought excitedly, waiting for Feng Heng to continue. The monk waved his hand to summon two beautiful trees that embodied wisdom and enlightenment - the Bodhi Trees. The original bliss land had a tree, and Wang Wei lent Feng Heng one to nurture, and it has almost reached maturity.

With the Bodhi Trees as support, Feng Heng drastically increased the seal's strength. The creature was rapidly pushed back into the gate, roaring even louder. However, it was pointless as, in some way, the power of Buddhism was its antithesis.

"It is time to return to the embrace of the Great Old One." An eerie voice sounded from the small crack of the portal. The voice was both male and female, and it also sounded like hundreds of different gendered voices spoke in unison. Just hearing it made Wang Ju and everyone else around feel their skin crawl.

They did not know the creature's language, but they understood what he said clearly. Their faces changed, but before they could react, myriad auras rushed from all over the Endless Void.

'Damn it, I thought we eliminated all these cultists.' Wang Ju's divine sense detected trillions of people, including mortals and cultivators, suddenly killing themselves as some sort of sacrifice to empower this thing that was the poster child for creepiness.
