Chapter 74 Reinforcing the Seal

Lin Yu stared intently at the seal that was teetering on the verge of collapse in the darkness. A resolute and determined light burned brightly in his eyes. It was as if he could hear the sand in the hourglass of time rustling in his ears. Every flicker of the faint light on the seal was like the footsteps of life counting down. Every passing moment of time might be the prelude to the evil forces breaking free from their imprisonment and bringing the apocalypse upon the two worlds. With this in mind, he unhesitatingly let out a long, powerful roar to the sky. His voice was as sonorous as a great bell, and the rolling sound waves swept around like a furious tide as he commanded his troops to immediately engage in the race against time to reinforce the seal.

The cultivators in the team were like a well-honed elite force, working in perfect harmony, just like a set of precisely meshed gears operating in unison. Several cultivators who were proficient in the mysteries of the formation were as lithe and agile as cheetahs. They held tightly in their hands the formation flags that emitted a mysterious and dim light. The ancient runes on the flags flickered in and out of sight, as if whispering the hidden legends of bygone days. They murmured incantations, and those obscure and tongue-twisting spells spilled from their lips, transforming into wisps of invisible and mighty power. Their figures were as swift as phantoms, flitting around the seal. Every step they took landed precisely on the key nodes such as the formation eyes. In an instant, where the formation flags fluttered and danced, golden rays of light condensed by powerful spiritual energy shot out from the ground. These rays intertwined and coiled, quickly constructing a complex and ingenious defensive formation full of hidden mysteries. The formation patterns shone with a brilliant light, and a mysterious power seemed to flow gently within the glittering radiance, like an impregnable barrier spanning heaven and earth, effectively blocking the direct invasion of the evil forces and creating a precious respite and space for the crucial subsequent reinforcement work.

At the same time, another group of cultivators with profound and powerful spiritual energy were also kept busy. With reverence in their hearts, they carefully took out the rarest materials from the specially made storage magic treasures within the spiritual realm. These materials were either as crystal clear as flawless crystals, exuding a soft and radiant light, as if a vigorous life essence was hidden deep within the light; or they were simple and thick, with mysterious and intricate patterns engraved on their surfaces, as if the vicissitudes of the long river of time were engraved on them, containing a powerful and unpredictable force. The cultivators' expressions were solemn and focused, their eyes fixed on the treasures in their hands. They clenched their hands tightly, as if holding the spark of hope for the survival of the entire world. They exerted all their efforts to circulate the spiritual energy within their bodies. The spiritual energy surged through their meridians like a turbulent tide. With the continuous infusion of spiritual energy, the materials began to undergo a wonderful transformation, gradually melting and turning into streams of bright and colorful, strangely hued lights that slowly merged into the seal. After the seal absorbed the powerful energy of these precious materials, the originally faint and dim light seemed to be injected with new vitality, gradually becoming brighter and more stable, and the seal as a whole became more solid and firm, just like a long-sick and weak patient who was nourished by the spiritual spring and slowly regained his vitality.

Lin Yu stood alone at the most critical core position of the seal, his expression solemn and serious, facing the mottled parts of the seal that had been eroded by the evil forces. His eyes were as deep as the sea and as firm as a rock, as if he could see through the hidden essence and core of the evil forces. Relying on his unique perception and profound understanding of the chaotic power that he had tempered through countless life-and-death situations, he took a deep breath and resolutely prepared to perform an unprecedented repair technique. He slowly raised his hands, and a deep, mysterious black chaotic power slowly emerged from his palms. This power seemed to be endowed with spirituality. Under his precise control, it was like a spiritual mysterious snake, winding and coiling towards the damaged part of the seal. The moment the chaotic power touched the seal, a soft and continuous humming sound was emitted between the two, as if two ancient and mysterious forces were having a silent and subtle dialogue and integration.

However, this seemingly peaceful repair process was actually fraught with hidden dangers and perils. The evil forces seemed to have a keen sense and, realizing that Lin Yu and his team's actions posed a fatal threat to them, immediately fell into a frenzy and launched a more brutal attack. The black evil aura frantically converged in the air in an instant. Its speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch. In an instant, it transformed into sharp and ferocious claws. The tips of the claws glistened with a cold light, tearing through the air with a howl, accompanied by a terrifying and shrill roar, and viciously grabbed towards the busy cultivators. At the same time, some of the evil forces transformed into black lightning bolts. These lightning bolts contained a violent power that was enough to destroy heaven and earth and mercilessly struck towards the defensive formation and the busy cultivators within the formation. Every time an attack landed, it triggered a violent energy fluctuation like an earth-shattering explosion. The fluctuations spread wildly in all directions like surging ripples, causing the ground to shake violently and deep and terrifying cracks to open up on the ground.

Lin Yu and his teammates were suddenly in a desperate situation, attacked from both the front and the back. On the one hand, they had to allocate some of their energy and spiritual power to resist the fierce attacks of the evil forces. On the other hand, they had to focus all their attention and mental power on the great cause of reinforcing the seal. This was undoubtedly a cruel and severe test for their physical and mental strength. When resisting the attacks, the cultivators used their respective abilities and supernatural powers. Some cultivators waved their magic treasures, and the magic treasures immediately emitted a colorful and dazzling light, crashing head-on into the evil forces. In an instant, a deafening roar resounded through the sky; some cultivators performed exquisite spells. The spells transformed into runes shining with a mysterious light. The runes glowed brightly in the air and intertwined into a rock-solid defensive light screen, tenaciously resisting the erosion and wantonness of the evil forces. When reinforcing the seal, their hands were as steady as a rock, not daring to tremble or shake in the slightest. Their spirits were highly tense and fully concentrated. Because they knew that even a tiny mistake might cause all their previous hard work and efforts to go to waste, allowing the evil forces to break through the seal and plunge the world into an abyss of eternal damnation, bringing about destruction.

But Lin Yu and his teammates had no intention of retreating in their hearts. A blazing flame of unyielding determination burned in their eyes, and that flame seemed to have the powerful power to dispel the darkness and burn away the evil. With their indomitable will as strong as steel and their superb and peerless skills, they cleverly and bravely defused the fierce attacks of the evil forces time and time again, and at the same time, they steadily and firmly advanced the process of reinforcing the seal. Every successful resistance to the attacks of the evil forces, every successful integration of the precious materials into the seal, and every precise filling of a damaged part with the chaotic power brought them one step closer to victory and success. Although the road ahead was full of thorns, full of unknown difficulties and unpredictable dangers, they were determined in their hearts and firmly believed that as long as they remained true to their original aspirations and persevered in their struggles, they would definitely be able to safeguard the peace and tranquility of the two worlds. Their busy and bustling figures stood firmly in front of the seal, like a brilliant ray of hope, piercing through the darkness and illuminating this desolate land shrouded in the evil haze.
