Chapter 263: Sealing Tang Qi
Watching Tang Qi escape, Zhou Tong revealed a faint cold smile.
Immediately, a seal flashed on his body, communicating with the power of the Sage level.
“Jiu Hua, lend me your strength!”
In the Joyful Union Sect on Red Dust Mountain, the Profound Sky Nine Flowers Great Formation naturally operated. A beam of light shot out from the heart of the formation, transcending the barriers of space and striking Zhou Tong’s body.
In an instant, his aura skyrocketed, sage power spreading, as he directly entered the Sage realm.
“Endless Distance!”
He whispered, his spiritual power surging and erupting, transforming him as if he had turned into void.
This was a technique of the Sage Ninth Layer; back then, the Ancestral Master had used it to capture the Sage of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground.
Although Zhou Tong had not reached this level, he made up for the gap with his spiritual power, forcibly using this move!
At the same time, Tang Qi was exerting all his strength, weaving through the clouds, even at the cost of burning his essence blood, crossing a distance of a thousand feet in an instant.
“What a fool, daring to gamble with me. You’re just asking for humiliation!”
Just as he thought victory was assured, Zhou Tong’s voice came through.
“Seven… six… five…”
The unhurried voice rang in Tang Qi’s ears, making him feel as though struck by lightning.
“How is this possible!?”
He looked around but could not find Zhou Tong’s figure.
“Damn it, he must be using a special transmission technique, deliberately trying to disturb my mind. I won’t fall for it!”
Despite saying this, he still accelerated, but even so, he could not escape Zhou Tong’s voice.
“Three… two…”
With each countdown, his body trembled, and his heart involuntarily tightened.
Zhou Tong’s voice had become his nightmare.
“One!”
As the final count fell, he immediately stopped.
“I win!”
Tang Qi turned sharply to look back, only to find an endless expanse of sky, with nothing else in sight.
“Hahaha… Let’s see if you dare to boast in front of me again!”
He laughed as he descended to the ground, but immediately, a strong tremor surged from beneath his feet.
“Boom!!”
Accompanied by a violent rumbling, five great mountains erupted from beside him, each towering into the clouds, like pillars holding up the sky.
“Si…”
Tang Qi sucked in a cold breath, looking around in astonishment.
“Where am I? Could it be the ends of the earth?”
He muttered to himself but sensed a familiar aura emanating from the five giant mountains.
“Hahaha…”
At that moment, a thunderous laugh echoed, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly ascended, charging into the clouds!
Then he witnessed a scene that sent chills down his spine!
High above, Zhou Tong was overlooking him, vast and unfathomable, a head like a giant peak and eyes like a blood pool, while he himself felt as small as an ant!
“What is this…?”
He realized, his face turning incredibly pale.
There were no five high mountains; they were clearly Zhou Tong’s five fingers, and the ground beneath him was Zhou Tong’s palm!
“The outcome is settled. According to our pact, you shall obey my disposal!”
Zhou Tong’s smile vanished, his voice cold and merciless, filled with murderous intent.
“Run!”
The voice of the Supreme Will rang in Tang Qi’s mind.
“With you? What can you do to me!!”
At this point, Tang Qi directly played tricks, what was the Heavenly Dao contract anyway? He held it in disdain, fearing not to be killed on the spot by Zhou Tong!
As long as he triggered the Life Revival Venom, he could both escape Zhou Tong and erase the remnants of the contract on him, achieving two goals at once.
It was precisely for this reason that he dared to agree to Zhou Tong’s wager!
“I won’t entertain you any longer; farewell!”
Tang Qi laughed heartily, preparing to leave, when suddenly Zhou Tong flipped his palm, and an incomprehensibly grand aura descended, completely sealing his figure!
“Ah ah ah… what… what is happening!!”
In an instant, Tang Qi’s expression drastically changed, revealing panic; he could not help but exclaim.
He felt all the power within him sealed, turning into a mortal, completely at the mercy of others!
“Foster father! Help me!”
In his fear, he shouted urgently.
Yet awaiting him was not the support of the Supreme Will, but the suppression of the laws of the Heavenly Dao!
The laws transformed into slender chains, firmly locking his body and making him unable to move!
At the same time, another force materialized as a great mountain, pressing down on him, offering no escape.
This force was not from the laws of the Heavenly Dao, but a manifestation of the authority of the law, representing the majesty of the law as well as the human path’s laws!
Now, with Tang Qi being jointly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and the human path, along with Zhou Tong’s Sage cultivation, regardless of how he employed his anti-sky methods, he had no power to resist!
“Boom!!”
The mountain of the law fell to the ground, immeasurably heavy and indestructible, crushing down, merging with the surrounding ground, impregnable!
“Ah ah ah ah…”
Tang Qi let out a chilling scream, every bone in his body crushed. This time, he truly had exhausted all his tricks; even with the Supreme Will, he could not break free from the seal.
“Beast, despicable and shameless scoundrel, you deceived me!”
He looked skyward, filled with endless rage, yet he could only remain like a pitiful worm, unable to turn the tides.
“You will remain here, crawling, until the seas run dry and the stones rot!”
Zhou Tong gazed down at him, speaking without compassion.
As long as he did not kill the opponent, the Life Revival Venom would not activate, and time was the most merciless weapon; when his dignity was ground to dust and his fortune exhausted, that would be his demise!
Having completed all this, Zhou Tong felt immeasurable satisfaction, as if a heavy stone in his heart had been lifted.
He then released the Dharmakaya’s Formative Power, looking down on the entire Jade Purity Sect.
Under his authority, even Semi-Sage strong warriors did not dare to move, trembling like quails in the winter.
Wu Zhan had been killed, Tang Qi sealed, and Mo Liushu almost destroyed; the Jade Purity Sect was now nothing more than a shell, and Zhou Tong had no intention of embarking on a killing spree.
“From now on, do not let me see you again!”
His voice was cold, and no one dared to utter a single “no.”
However, just as he prepared to leave, a sudden strong wave of energy surged from beneath the ground, disappearing in an instant!
“Si… what was that? Such a strong aura!”
He looked toward that direction, suddenly recalling it was the location of the Pulse-Cutting Snow Path.
Last time he and Mu Ran Ya entered, they did not reach the end; could it be that hidden secrets lay within?
With this thought, he wasted no time and dove underground once more, re-entering the snow path, leaving behind a crowd of dazed Jade Purity Sect members.
Yet no one paid attention; one figure suddenly lifted the dying Mo Liushu, a look of ecstatic joy on their face.
“You have finally fallen to this extent; from now on, your fortune is mine!”
