My intuition was not wrong; the power of the Demon God is indeed growing stronger! The once formidable Lingxi Mirror can now barely withstand its attacks. Du Ming also felt the pressure; although his sword energy was sharp, it seemed to sink into the ocean, causing minimal damage to the Demon God.
“Lingxi, this won't do! The seal on the Demon God is weakening, and its power has exceeded our expectations!” Du Ming shouted anxiously while fending off the Demon God’s attacks with his sword.
I gritted my teeth and desperately poured my spiritual energy into the Lingxi Mirror, but the Demon God’s onslaught became increasingly fierce. I felt as if my body was being hollowed out.
“Is there really no other way?” Despair and helplessness filled my heart.
“There must be other sealing techniques! Let's ask Master!” Du Ming decisively grabbed my hand and flew towards Qingluan Peak.
When Master saw us in such a disheveled state, he was taken aback. “What happened? Wasn't the seal reinforced?”
“Master, the seal on the Demon God is weakening, and we can't stop it at all!” I said anxiously.
After hearing my description, Master’s expression turned grave. “It seems things are more serious than I imagined; ordinary sealing techniques can no longer contain it.”
“What should we do? Are we just going to watch it wreak havoc on the world?” I was so anxious that tears were almost falling.
Master pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Unless… we find the ‘Celestial Star Sealing Array’ passed down from ancient times; there might still be a glimmer of hope.”
“Celestial Star Sealing Array?” Du Ming and I asked in unison.
“Indeed. It is said that this array was created by the ancient goddess Nüwa to seal the Demon God. Its power is immense, but later it became too powerful and was broken into seven fragments scattered across the world,” Master explained.
“Then let's go find these fragments right now!” I said eagerly.
“Easier said than done!” Master sighed. “The whereabouts of these fragments have always been a mystery, and even if we find them, gathering all seven will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!”
I clenched my fists, determination filling my eyes. “No matter what, I have to try! For the Cultivation World, for all living beings, I must find the Celestial Star Sealing Array!”
Master's words felt like a bucket of cold water extinguishing our newly ignited hope. Are we really going to watch helplessly as the Demon God breaks through the seal and plunges the Cultivation World into irreversible disaster? No, I will never give up!
Du Ming and I embarked on a long journey to search for the fragments of the Celestial Star Sealing Array. We pored over ancient texts, traveled across famous mountains and rivers, and inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of the fragments, yet we found nothing.
Just when we were about to despair, news came from a mysterious force that they had found a clue to one fragment. Du Ming and I were overjoyed and immediately set off.
However, what awaited us was a meticulously planned trap. Demonic energy surged around us, surrounding us completely. It dawned on me that we had been kept in the dark; this mysterious force had long been infiltrated by the Demon God!
“Hahaha, Guo Lingxi, Du Ming, you’ve fallen for it!” A familiar voice echoed as the leader of the mysterious force slowly emerged from the demonic energy. His eyes were hollow and his expression twisted; he had clearly been controlled by the Demon God.
“How could this happen…” I looked at him in disbelief—once a comrade-in-arms, now turned into our enemy.
“Lingxi, be careful! He is no longer who he used to be!” Du Ming shielded me behind him, warily watching our enemy.
“Traitors, you will pay for this!” Du Ming’s sword energy surged like a rainbow, aimed directly at the leader of the mysterious force.
However, under the control of the Demon God, he had greatly increased his strength and easily blocked Du Ming's attack.
"Useless! You cannot stop me! The Demon God is about to descend, and this world will become his possession!" The leader of the mysterious force laughed maniacally and launched a fierce attack against us.
Du Ming and I found ourselves surrounded and engaged in a bitter struggle. To make matters worse, some cultivators who had been bewitched by demonic energy began to mock us coldly and even attacked us.
"Are you all insane? Can't you see who is manipulating all of this from behind?" I shouted loudly, but was met with even more doubts and insults.
My heart gradually sank. Were we really going to be defeated by our own people? Despair spread like thick ink in my heart. Were we really going to sit back and watch as the Demon God broke free, bringing devastation upon all living beings? No, I would never give up! My master once said that in ancient times, our ancestors not only developed the Celestial Star Sealing Array but also researched a Forbidden Technique that used one's own spiritual energy as a guide, burning their life force to forcibly seal the Demon God!
"Du Ming, I know a Forbidden Technique that might be able to stop the Demon God!" A spark of hope ignited in my eyes as I spoke with determination.
Upon hearing this, Du Ming's expression changed drastically. He grabbed my hand tightly, his tone urgent: "No! This Forbidden Technique is too dangerous; one misstep could lead to our souls scattering! I won’t allow you to take that risk!"
"But if I don’t do something, the entire Cultivation World will fall, and all our efforts and sacrifices will be meaningless!" I grasped his hand back, our fingers interlocking as I looked at him intently. "I am determined; this is our only hope!"
He fell silent, and I knew he was filled with worry and struggle. After a long pause, he finally spoke slowly, his voice deep yet resolute: "Alright, I'll accompany you! No matter what happens, I will be by your side!"
A warmth filled my heart as I nodded vigorously. In that moment, I felt clearly that Du Ming and I were not just husband and wife; we were each other's most trusted and relied-upon partners, bound together through life and death.
I took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to channel all my spiritual energy with my hands forming seals. Ancient and mysterious incantations flowed from my lips as the air around us seemed to solidify. A powerful wave of energy radiated from me, spreading outward. Just as I was about to complete the final move of the Forbidden Technique, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky, shaking the earth and mountains. The entire sky turned blood-red as an overwhelming sense of terror descended upon us…
