Furball held a strange seal in his hand, one that I had never encountered among the many seals I had come across before.
The initiation of the seal was likely the most common among the Taoist Sect.
Each seal used by the members of the Taoist Sect possesses an inexplicable charm, embodying the traces of the natural Dao. Thus, when forming a seal, they can use it as a medium to communicate their Daoist Spiritual Energy and Earth Power, summoning an inexplicable divine might!
Aside from the Taoist Sect, other sects rarely employ seals. Even those that do have some connection to the Taoist Sect.
However, the seal that Furball was forming now was unlike any from any sect I had encountered so far!
In fact, such a seal could not possibly be formed by a human being!
For instance, Furball's initial gesture involved spreading his palm open, with his five fingers twisting into shapes resembling intertwined strands, as if each finger represented a dragon or serpent!
Could an ordinary person create such a hand sign? It was utterly beyond comprehension, akin to some strange vocalization—sounds that could not possibly emerge from a human throat; humans cannot produce sounds in that frequency range!
The hand sign Furball was currently forming was just like that, with each transformation being astonishing and profoundly mysterious.
As Furball continued to form the seals, I could clearly sense changes occurring around us!
These changes were even more remarkable than those caused by the Shangqing Demon Suppression Formation. The latter merely thickened the air to restrict movement within the formation, resulting in localized effects.
In contrast, Furball's hand signs altered the entire environment.
With each successive hand sign he cast, the sky above the Sun and Moon Alliance gradually dimmed. Layer upon layer of heavy leaden clouds enveloped the entire alliance, and these clouds continued to thicken as if weighed down by their own mass, slowly descending. Before long, they nearly obscured the tops of some taller buildings within the Dao Alliance!
The light here faded at a visibly rapid pace; looking up revealed no sun—only leaden clouds hanging low, as if the apocalypse had descended upon us.
In an instant, visibility had diminished to that of a summer evening around seven or eight o'clock; one could barely make out some buildings!
Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning tore through the dark clouds above us, momentarily shattering the darkness.
That bolt of lightning was incredibly bright; it erupted right above our heads. Almost immediately after, a deep rumble of thunder followed, sounding like a giant dragon roaring furiously beside my ear, leaving me dizzy and disoriented.
And this was just the beginning. As that bolt of lightning tore through the sky, the entire layer of dark clouds erupted with thunder and lightning in an instant. The lightning crackled and rolled within the leaden clouds, creating a terrifying spectacle!
I could feel it—the surging energy brewing within the leaden clouds above!
"Punishment! It’s punishment!!"
At that moment, the Leader, who I had been pursuing like a cornered dog, suddenly screamed after losing an arm and lying on the ground. His bloodied face was filled with sheer terror as he cursed, "You beasts of the Xia Family, how could you be so heartless? You dare to invoke punishment above the Sun and Moon Alliance! Do you know what that means? When it falls, everything in its path will turn to scorched earth, rivers will dry up, and all life will be obliterated! By invoking punishment here, you intend to raze the entire Sun and Moon Alliance to the ground! This is a place your Xia Family has sworn loyalty to for generations!"
In that moment, it was as if the Leader had been rejuvenated. He ignored his severed arm and struggled to escape!
Unfortunately for him, like me, he was suppressed by the Shangqing Demon Suppression Formation. The others hadn’t unleashed their Daoist Spiritual Energy to kill him yet, but trying to leave now was nothing but a dream!
The Leader struggled several times without managing to stand up. Finally, with bloodshot eyes, he turned to those around him and roared, "Why aren’t you retreating yet?! If we don’t leave now, we’ll be doomed when punishment descends! We’ll turn to ash along with this madman!"
The few practitioners looked miserable, their faces almost in tears. They seemed desperate to stand up, but no matter how they twisted and struggled, their backs seemed glued to the ground; they simply couldn’t rise.
"Master, have you forgotten? The Shangqing Demon Suppression Formation cannot just be dismissed at will!"
One of them lamented, "When Ancestor Master Zhang Daoling set up this formation back in the day to prevent those from the Evil Path from escaping after being hunted down, he put in immense effort. He combined Qimen Dunjia techniques with our Taoist Sect formations and ultimately created this Shangqing Demon Suppression Formation. As long as those targeted within it remain alive, the formation will not dissipate! We can’t get away!"
His words struck a chord with others; for a moment, despair hung over the entire Sun and Moon Alliance.
"You won’t escape!"
At that moment, Furball suddenly turned his head and cast a dark look at those practitioners. Despite his young age, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he spoke deliberately, "Today is about turning the Sun and Moon Alliance into ruins; all high-ranking members will perish in battle! This is all your doing. If it weren’t for your existence, I wouldn’t have forced my brother into the sea of madness without looking back! Today marks his death day as well as his rebirth; the old him is completely gone. What I will present to you is a butcher blinded by hatred who knows only slaughter! This is a day of significance; as his brother, I must offer my life for him to ascend to power. None of you enemies can be spared!"
As he finished speaking, a rumbling sound erupted from the leaden clouds above—more magnificent than before. In an instant, the leaden clouds enveloping the Dao Alliance brightened; they were charged with lightning!
The next moment, bolts of lightning cascaded down upon the entire Dao Alliance, engulfing it entirely. The lightning was as thick as utility poles and contained immense energy. In an instant, the entire Dao Alliance transformed into a sea of thunder and lightning, reduced to ruins.
I watched as buildings shattered in clusters as if filled with explosives detonating inside them. The ground trembled beneath me; merely witnessing this scene sent chills down my spine.
This was true power!
Real power!!!
Before such divine might, humanity felt utterly insignificant. No wonder Reverse Fate had become a legend; such power was beyond human endurance. Anyone standing beneath this lightning would be reduced to ash!
I was enveloped in a blood-red barrier alongside Furball. Under the flashes of lightning, the barrier stood firm as a rock, providing us with excellent protection!
Unfortunately for Leader and the others, they were exerting all their strength to counter the punishment with the Spiritual Energy of the Taoist Sect. However, each of them was already battered and bruised under the first wave of punishment. One of them, a newly ascended Master, suffered the worst; he simply could not withstand such terrifying punishment. In an instant, he was reduced to charred remains, never even having a chance to speak. When he fell to the ground, he shattered into two pieces with a loud crack, clearly having had all the moisture in his body vaporized by the lightning!
At that moment, Furball's face turned pale as the lightning struck. He quickly turned to me and said, "The punishment is coming down, and my time is short. Brother, do not grieve for me; this is all destined. Moreover, what happens here is just the beginning! Now, you must listen carefully to what I have to say about this punishment!
This punishment did not arise solely from your own absolute power colliding with the earth; it was actually summoned by me. The hand seals I used earlier were among the darkest techniques of this realm. The Dao does not permit it; once these seals are formed, they will immediately attract punishment!
The punishment targets you but also me. The power that falls upon Divine Soul Blood ultimately transfers entirely onto me!
What is known as Reverse Fate is about being reborn through fire in the midst of punishment!
The punishment you are facing is the strongest Ninefold Punishment, each layer stronger than the last!
In your current state, you cannot endure it. I will use Divine Soul Blood to help you withstand the first six layers; however, you must bear the final three layers on your own. These last three layers are crucial for your Reverse Fate because they contain many divine substances from this realm. If you can endure and absorb those divine substances, you will transform your life form into a higher one! But don't worry too much; each meteorite will also help you resist some of the punishing force.
Remember, it's not just about resisting the power of punishment; it's also a battle of will!
Honestly, brother, I don't know if you can withstand those last three layers of punishment. Even my divination skills as a Bai Ze cannot foresee whether you will make it through. The future is uncertain; it all depends on you now!"
