Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Breaking the Seal
"You brat! Lucky for you today!"
The Integration Stage expert left this line and immediately flashed away.
Gu Chenfeng quickly took out a Healing Pill and consumed it, then asked in a transmission, "Candle Dragon, has the Fire Spirit Race discovered my treasure?"
"Master’s Immortal Artifact is within me; they can’t detect it. The Fire Spirit Race intends to seize my Ancient Fire Attribute Origin," Candle Dragon replied respectfully.
"I see," Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "Even though the Fire Spirit Race possesses the strongest Fire Attribute, it’s far inferior to Candle Dragon’s Fire Attribute Spiritual Power."
With that in mind, Gu Chenfeng sent a transmission, "Break the seal and come out; don’t engage in a prolonged battle with the Fire Spirit Race."
"Yes, master!" Candle Dragon replied with deference.
At this moment.
At the deepest part of the Desolate Realm, in the Sealed Land.
This was a massive valley surrounded by towering peaks, with an enormous Sealing Array above the peaks.
The Sealing Array enveloped the entire valley.
Within the valley was a sealed Ancient Demon Beast, its body engulfed in flames.
The Candle Dragon.
Of course.
Gu Chenfeng hadn’t sealed Candle Dragon here intentionally, but had instead tasked Candle Dragon with guarding the treasure, taking the opportunity to cultivate here and strive for an early breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage.
Candle Dragon could have quietly cultivated, but a few months ago, the concealed Seal Land was discovered by the Fire Spirit Race’s experts.
It wasn’t long before the Fire Spirit Race Leader and Elders personally arrived, attempting to break the seal.
Candle Dragon, then in cultivation, was forced to reveal itself.
The Fire Spirit Race Leader and others hadn’t expected that such a powerful seal contained an Ancient Demon Beast, and one that possessed a powerful Ancient Fire Attribute Origin at that.
The Ancient Fire Attribute Origin was undoubtedly a great supplement for the Fire Spirit Race.
With Candle Dragon’s cultivation only at the Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation, how could the Fire Spirit Race Leader pass up this grand opportunity?
Furthermore, they believed such a powerful seal must have been created by an ancient powerhouse.
The Sealing Array must also contain a powerful ancient treasure.
Thus.
The Fire Spirit Race Leader decisively ordered the blockade of the depths of the Southern Observation Wilderness, declaring that any forces or individuals daring to intrude should be executed without mercy.
To seize the treasure within the Sealing Array, the Fire Spirit Race Leader was willing to take the risk.
He then commanded the Fire Spirit Race’s experts to continuously attack the seal.
After several months of relentless array breaking, the power of the seal weakened progressively, seemingly about to be breached.
However.
As the Fire Spirit Race Leader and others were eagerly anticipating.
A change occurred.
Within the valley, Candle Dragon’s aura suddenly surged crazily, with its cultivation visually soaring from the Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation to the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation.
The terrifying Spiritual Power shocked the experts of the Fire Spirit Race to their core.
No one among them had anticipated that Candle Dragon’s true cultivation had reached the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation.
They didn’t know that the Divine Lock had sealed Candle Dragon’s cultivation.
Candle Dragon, as an Ancient Fierce Beast, was inherently ferocious and cold-blooded, and Gu Chenfeng worried about the Ninth Transformation causing unforeseen events, so he used the Divine Lock to seal Candle Dragon’s cultivation.
Otherwise, if Candle Dragon broke the seal after reaching the Mahayana Stage, it would undoubtedly cause chaos throughout the Cultivation Realm, leading to widespread destruction and suffering.
At the instant the Divine Lock was released, Candle Dragon’s full cultivation was unleashed.
The peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation greatly astonished the Fire Spirit Race Leader and the other experts.
At this time.
"Whiz whiz whiz!"
Dozens of Integration Stage and Divinity Transformation Stage experts from the Fire Spirit Race flashed in succession.
A Divinity Transformation Stage expert, face full of shock, exclaimed, "Peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation! This beast can actually enhance its cultivation! What secret technique is this?"
"This is not a secret technique!" The Fire Spirit Race Leader spoke with a frown and gravity, "This is the true cultivation of this Fire Dragon!"
"True cultivation?" The experts of the Fire Spirit Race were all astounded.
"The Clan Leader is right," an Elder said solemnly, "This overwhelming and violent aura comes from its true cultivation; it is indeed at the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation. We’ve underestimated it."
The Fire Spirit Race Leader speculated with a frown, "If my conjecture is correct, it should be that a certain seal within it has been undone, allowing it to regain its peak cultivation."
"Boom!"
Within the Sealing Array in the valley, Candle Dragon suddenly soared upwards, fiercely colliding with the Sealing Array, with a thunderous blast resulting in a violent tremor throughout the massive array and entire valley.
The terrifying force, just from a fierce impact, caused the massive Sealing Array to tear open several fissures.
Dozens of Fire Spirit Race experts, despite their full-force attacks on the Sealing Array over several months, merely diminished the array’s power.
Candle Dragon’s mere impact left several fissures in the Sealing Array.
The power of the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation was genuinely terrifying.
"This beast wants to break the array and come out! We absolutely cannot let it escape!" The Fire Spirit Race Leader shouted with a frown, "Everyone, hear my command! Immediately form the Fire Glaze Heaven and Earth Array!"
With the order given.
Numerous experts from the Fire Spirit Race nearly simultaneously exerted their full Fire Attribute Spiritual Power and formed identical seals.
"Fire Glaze Heaven and Earth Array! Activate!" The Fire Spirit Race experts shouted in unison.
Above the Sealing Array over the valley, five massive flame arrays appeared, then spread down into a gigantic energy fire wall that enveloped the entire valley and Sealing Array.
"Old fool, you dare try to seize this seat’s Ancient Fire Attribute Origin? You must be tired of living!" Candle Dragon spoke angrily, its huge eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
The Fire Spirit Race Leader responded icily, "As a clan leader also at the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, you think you can handle me?"
"This seat’s Fire Attribute can suppress your Fire Spirit Race’s Fire Attribute; is it really hard to kill you?" Candle Dragon roared in anger, then unleashed even more terrifying power.
After the Divine Lock was removed, Candle Dragon quickly adapted to its peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation power, with its aura becoming increasingly terrifying.
"Boom!"
Once Candle Dragon’s words ceased, it soared upwards once more, impacting the Sealing Array with even more frightening strength, causing the Sealing Array to tremor violently and split open even more fissures.
"Clan Leader, the Sealing Array is about to break!" a clan member shouted.
Seeing the increasing number of fissures in the Sealing Array, the Fire Spirit Race experts became tense one by one.
Facing an Ancient Demon Beast at the peak of the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation, claiming not to be scared would definitely be a lie.
The Fire Spirit Race Leader said gravely, "When it breaks the seal, suppress it with all your might and exhaust its Spiritual Power!"
"Yes, Clan Leader!" The Fire Spirit Race experts responded in unison.
"Hmph! You really think such an array can trap this seat? Delusional!" Candle Dragon roared in anger, not considering the Fire Spirit Race’s array seriously at all.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
When Candle Dragon impacted the Sealing Array for the third time, with an earth-shattering boom, the Sealing Array with numerous fissures instantly shattered.
"Roar!"
A mighty Fire Dragon soared upwards from the seal, unparalleled terrifying power wildly swept in all directions, the dragon’s roar echoing across the land.
The Fire Spirit Race Leader quickly shouted, "Suppress this beast with all your power! Do not let it escape!"
Dozens of Fire Spirit Race experts shouted in unison, channeling their Fire Attribute Spiritual Power into the array with all their might, causing the Fire Attribute Spiritual Power to multiply several times in a flash.
