Chapter 1145: The Art of Saint Sealing

When Zhou Yuan and Ji Mo became embroiled in an intense battle, two other battlefields high above also drew significant attention.

First was the battlefield of Guan Qinglong and Mi Shi. Their clash was particularly captivating, as both fought head-on, using pure Genesis Qi power to overwhelm their opponents. With their Genesis Qi foundations being quite similar, their fight naturally shook the heavens and earth, each collision creating a tremendous stir.

However, from the overall situation, it was clear that Guan Qinglong held a slight advantage. After all, his Genesis Qi foundation was ultimately a bit stronger than Mi Shi's.

Therefore, the battle here brought some peace of mind to the people of Hunyuan Heaven and the other two major heavens.

While the situation here was favorable, there was no such good news from Jiang Jinlin's side.

Jiang Jinlin let out a long roar heavenward. His body began to swell, and more and more dragon scales emerged on his skin. His hands transformed into dragon claws, with sharp, blade-like nails that, with a slight tremor, could even cut through the void.

At this moment, he resembled a half-dragon, possessing a terrifyingly powerful physique that exuded immense strength with every movement.

Furthermore, the Genesis Qi fluctuations emanating from Jiang Jinlin's body had reached the level of 3.6 billion!

Evidently, he had activated his amplification secret art.

Yet, despite this, he still couldn't gain a significant advantage.

Jiang Jinlin's golden dragon eyes, filled with icy resolve, locked onto Mi Shan, who stood suspended in the air. Mi Shan's body was covered in intricate luminous patterns, resembling a mysterious design. It was the presence of these patterns that caused Mi Shan's Genesis Qi foundation to surge to 3.8 billion!

A vertical mark on his forehead twitched slightly, as if something terrifying lay beneath it, imbuing Mi Shan with a dangerous aura.

"What an unsightly form. You seem considerably weaker than Guan Qinglong, though," Mi Shan remarked with a faint smile, gazing at Jiang Jinlin in his half-dragon state.

"I initially thought my opponent would be him, but you've chosen to invite humiliation upon yourself instead."

"It's not yet clear who will be humiliated!"

Jiang Jinlin's eyes sharpened. He glanced downwards, then his mouth suddenly bulged. With a "poof," he spat out a glob of golden dragon blood.

The golden dragon blood instantly transformed into a shower of golden blood rain, engulfing the space around Mi Shan.

Mi Shan's eyebrows slightly twitched at the sight. His Genesis Qi surged around him, completely isolating the golden dragon blood.

"What's wrong? Are you so desperate you're spitting blood?"

However, Jiang Jinlin ignored his taunt. Instead, a cold sneer played on his lips: "Mi Shan, did you truly think I'd come to face you without any preparations?"

"Today, I, Jiang Jinlin, will surely kill you, the strongest person in Saint King Heaven!"

"Golden Blood Dragon Domain!"

As Jiang Jinlin's low roar echoed, golden light began to emanate from the space enveloped by the golden blood rain. From a distance, it resembled a golden barrier, encasing both Jiang Jinlin and Mi Shan.

Mi Shan frowned at this. With a wave of his sleeve, immense Genesis Qi swept out, continuously pounding the golden barrier.

However, the golden barrier was unexpectedly sturdy. It merely rippled, remaining unbroken.

"Is this the coffin you've dug for yourself?" Mi Shan said with a faint smile.

Jiang Jinlin remained expressionless. He took a deep breath and extended a dragon claw. Golden blood gathered in his palm, gradually forming an ancient-looking luminous pattern. He aimed his dragon claw at Mi Shan. The next instant, Jiang Jinlin's physical body began to shrivel, as if all the power of his flesh and blood was concentrating into the ancient pattern in his palm.

"Mi Shan, try the grand gift I've prepared for you."

"Sacred Sealing Art!"

The moment Jiang Jinlin's voice faded, the luminous pattern in his palm instantly transformed into a beam of light that shot forth, piercing through the void and appearing directly in front of Mi Shan. It then expanded into an endless torrent of light, sweeping down upon him.

Mi Shan's expression subtly changed. He could see countless minute, invisible luminous patterns permeating the light before him. These patterns emitted a special power; his surrounding Genesis Qi was instantly sealed upon contact, clearly demonstrating a strong suppressive effect on Genesis Qi.

If these patterns were to penetrate his body, they would undoubtedly suppress his strength, causing a significant drop in power.

"A sealing art? So that was your plan?!"

Mi Shan sneered. Immediately, the vertical mark on his forehead twitched and slowly opened, revealing a Saint Pupil. Within it, three stars revolved, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Saint Pupil Body-Protection Light!"

Sacred light erupted from the Saint Pupil. This sacred light was incredibly profound, like an auspicious cloud hovering above Mi Shan's head, with tendrils of light cascading down to cover his body. When Jiang Jinlin's countless sealing patterns came into contact with this sacred light, they did not achieve the devastating effect they had earlier. Instead, they were gradually obstructed, unable to penetrate further.

"Jiang Jinlin, you're too naive. My Saint Pupil possesses protective sacred light. Your strange sealing patterns aren't powerful enough to penetrate it," Mi Shan said with a laugh.

Jiang Jinlin observed the sacred light obstructing the sealing patterns, yet he showed no sign of defeat. Instead, a peculiar smirk formed on his lips: "Aren't you celebrating a little too soon?!"

Hearing this, Mi Shan's eyes immediately narrowed, sensing that something was amiss.

However, at that very instant, he suddenly heard a clear phoenix cry reverberate through the heavens and earth. Mi Shan abruptly lowered his head, only to see a phoenix-shaped light made of Genesis Qi surge up from below, directly entering the Golden Blood Dragon Domain.

Mi Shan stared at the phoenix light. His pupils suddenly contracted because he saw countless luminous patterns within it. These patterns were slightly different from Jiang Jinlin's, but clearly possessed the same effect: sealing power.

Mi Shan's gaze turned slightly cold as he looked down. He saw a graceful figure also looking up from below.

It was Ai Qing from the Spirit Phoenix Clan.

The phoenix light also collided with the sacred light around Mi Shan's body, quickly making contact with Jiang Jinlin's sealing light.

Upon contact, a dramatic transformation occurred. A dragon shadow and a phoenix shadow materialized, intertwining and rapidly revolving outside the sacred light, forming a dragon-phoenix halo.

Under the dragon-phoenix halo, Mi Shan's protective sacred light began to rapidly weaken.

Mi Shan's expression darkened.

"Mi Shan, this sealing art was created by Saints of my Myriad Beast Heaven's Profound Dragon Clan and the Spirit Phoenix Clan. It requires the union of dragon and phoenix to achieve its full power. Once the dragon-phoenix halo forms, no matter how capable you are, you won't escape," Jiang Jinlin said, a cold sneer appearing on his face as he watched the scene.

"Mi Shan, blame your own foolishness for easily entering my Golden Blood Dragon Domain."

Jiang Jinlin clenched his dragon claw tightly. The dragon-phoenix halo then completely crushed the sacred light, and with a whoosh, directly coiled around Mi Shan's body.

Once bound by the halo, Mi Shan would fall into the seal.

Many eyes across the battlefield were fixated on this scene. When they saw Jiang Jinlin on the verge of success, earth-shattering cheers erupted. If Mi Shan could be dealt with, the tide of today's battle would undoubtedly turn completely.

Mi Shan stared at the rapidly shrinking dragon-phoenix halo. Surprisingly, no panic appeared on his face. Instead, his lips subtly curved into a smile.

"Jiang Jinlin, I'll return your words to you..."

"You celebrated a little too soon."

"You schemed against me, but wasn't I also scheming against you? Did you think your sealing art was some kind of secret? I've known about this information for a long time!"

Mi Shan smiled eerily. The Saint Pupil between his eyebrows suddenly flared with light, directly capturing the dragon-phoenix halo that was about to burrow into his body. The halo instantly transformed into a streak of light and was absorbed into the Saint Pupil.

"What?!"

Seeing this, Jiang Jinlin's expression dramatically changed.

"You dared to absorb the dragon-phoenix halo?!" Jiang Jinlin found it incredibly unbelievable. The halo contained sealing power; even if Mi Shan's Saint Pupil was strong, he shouldn't have dared to absorb it!

"Who said I absorbed it?"

The eerie smile on Mi Shan's lips deepened: "I merely helped you switch targets."

Jiang Jinlin's pupils sharply contracted. As if realizing something, he urgently looked toward Guan Qinglong's direction and exclaimed, "Be careful!"

The moment his urgent cry rang out, Mi Shi, who was being suppressed by Guan Qinglong, showed a strange expression on his face and chuckled softly, "Too late."

The next instant, his Saint Pupil on his forehead snapped open.

A beam of light shot out—it was the dragon-phoenix halo that Mi Shan had absorbed.

The moment the dragon-phoenix halo emerged, it directly surged towards Guan Qinglong at astonishing speed.

This sudden assault startled Guan Qinglong, but there was no time to dodge. With a fierce glint in his eyes, he swung his Azure Dragon Blade, which glowed with green light and carried terrifying Genesis Qi fluctuations, slashing like lightning across Mi Shi's chest.

*Rip!*

A hideous gash appeared on Mi Shi's body, nearly splitting him in two.

But he paid no mind, for the dragon-phoenix halo had already shot into Guan Qinglong's body.

Then, countless horrified gazes across the battlefield watched as the powerful Genesis Qi surging around Guan Qinglong began to diminish at an alarming rate...
