Chapter 1353: Blood Prison Nine Seals, Prison Suppresses the Nine Heavens

When Tai Xuan's figure plummeted to the ground, tearing open chasms that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, the armies of all-heaven were ecstatic and shocked, while a stir erupted among the Saint Race army. They found it difficult to accept this turn of events. After all, Tai Xuan had previously crushed the entire all-heaven with an almost invincible posture. How could he suddenly be suppressed to such an extent by a mere Origin Infant stage youth?

“Hmph, this Tai Xuan is nothing but a silver spearhead, all flash and no substance. He was so imposing before because he hadn't met a real challenge!” “With such capabilities, how is he worth our efforts?” The Saint Race's top experts couldn't help but sneer, expressing considerable dissatisfaction. After all, in this battle of the Stone Dragon Secret Realm, they had almost entirely served as Tai Xuan's foils. However, since this was the will of many Saints, they dared not disobey and could only comply. Previously, when Tai Xuan swept all before him, naturally no one had any complaints. But now that he began to show weakness, these top Saint Race experts started to question whether their collective effort to serve as his stepping stone was truly worthwhile.

“Alright, enough with the nonsense. The situation has reached this point, and nothing you say will help. Don't go building up someone else's prestige here. Although that young man is not simple, do you really think Tai Xuan is so easy to deal with? Even if you don't trust him, you should trust the judgment of the Saints!” However, these top experts' complaints didn't last long before a calmer voice interjected, stopping them. The numerous top Saint Race experts fell silent, their resentment gradually subsiding. Their words, in truth, stemmed more from annoyance that Tai Xuan had monopolized all the glory in this Stone Dragon Secret Realm, as well as jealousy that he had been chosen by the Saints, who had planned this opportunity for him. If he could truly refine the armies of all-heaven, he might well become a new Saint of the Saint Race in the future, forever elevating his status far beyond theirs. In this world, achieving Sainthood is the ultimate lifelong goal for all beings. However, despite their jealousy of Tai Xuan's opportunity, they understood the current situation: the outcome of this Stone Dragon Secret Realm now hinged on the confrontation between Tai Xuan and Zhou Yuan. Therefore, from a broader perspective, they naturally hoped Tai Xuan would suppress Zhou Yuan, causing the all-heaven to tremble in fear under the might of the Saint Race.

Zhou Yuan stood in the void, gazing at the enormous, abyssal chasm below. It was pitch black within, its depth unknown, clearly showing how sharp his previous counterattack had been. He glanced at the tip of the Heaven Primal Brush, where the golden lotus seal had completely dissipated. After all, he was not a Saint. The lotus seal he had applied this time was merely a semblance, barely formed by the profound mystery of the Nine-Stage Heaven-Earth Saint Dragon Qi. Nevertheless, the power of a Saint Genesis Weapon empowered with a lotus seal was truly astonishing, even to Zhou Yuan himself. This was truly one of the most supreme powers in this world. Tai Xuan, having directly taken this attack, should not be feeling well. However, Zhou Yuan also understood that while such an attack could injure Tai Xuan, it would likely still be difficult to kill him.

Boom! Boom! As Zhou Yuan's thoughts raced, the ground below suddenly trembled violently. Immediately, a gurgling sound of water emerged, and then everyone witnessed crimson blood surging out from the chasm, which stretched for tens of thousands of miles, winding and roaring like a blood dragon. A malevolent aura soared to the heavens. Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze pierced through the blood, directly seeing a figure lying on its back in the blood at the deepest part. Tai Xuan's eyes were tightly shut, and his originally white hair had completely turned blood-red, as if merging with the blood. That sight was awe-inspiring. Swish! Swish! As if sensing Zhou Yuan's gaze, Tai Xuan's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open. They were entirely crimson, so much so that even his pupils were invisible. The boundless malevolence contained within them was truly like that of an apocalypse-bringing blood demon. The surface of the bloody water also churned, and nine massive vortices formed, from which beams of crimson light shot skyward. Within the crimson light, nine blood seals seemed to swell with the wind. As these nine blood seals appeared, Tai Xuan's body gradually began to wither.

The experts of all-heaven watched in terror; anyone could tell that Tai Xuan was unleashing a killing move. On the Saint Race's side, numerous top experts showed expressions of delight upon seeing this. “This is... the Nine Blood Hell Seals?! This is a supreme-tier Super Saint Genesis Art of our Saint Race!” “Aside from the Saints themselves, this is the first time I've seen anyone fully unleash all nine seals!” “As expected of Tai Xuan, this is how it should be! Let that lowly lesser race know that no matter how they resist, they cannot shake the suppression of our Saint Race!” “With this art unleashed, the victor will surely be decided!” These top experts felt relieved. It seemed Tai Xuan had been completely enraged by his previous misstep, and thus, he was now holding nothing back. With a Saint Genesis Art of such power, combined with Tai Xuan's terrifying reserves, it was enough to annihilate any enemy.

Zhou Yuan gazed at the blood seals appearing within the nine beams of crimson light, his expression also growing solemn. The power emanating from them was indeed destructive. Even he sensed immense danger. “A Super Saint Genesis Art... has he finally been pushed to this point?” Zhou Yuan's eyes were profound. He knew that in a confrontation of this caliber, there could be no yielding, not even an inch. A single retreat would diminish one's sharp edge, making it difficult to recover. From the nine soaring beams of crimson light, nine blood seals shot forth, colliding and merging in the void. Nine seals became one! As the crimson light surged, an 'Infinite Blood Hell' seemed to form around the nine seals. The terrifying power emanating from it directly suppressed even the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi upon contact. The sea of blood churned, and Tai Xuan, his long hair now crimson, stood upon the waves. His figure was much more withered than before, his skin as pale as paper, yet his pair of crimson eyes, looking as if they would drip blood, exuded a malevolence far more terrifying than before. He fixed his gaze chillingly on Zhou Yuan, not uttering a single word of nonsense, merely raising both hands. “Nine Blood Hell Seals, Hell's Suppression of Nine Heavens!” As his low voice fell, the Infinite Blood Hell, formed by the nine seals, directly shattered space with a tremor and appeared above Zhou Yuan. The Blood Hell's suppression sealed off this entire area of space, then slammed down with a resounding boom. With that suppression, the heavens and earth turned crimson, and an endless, foul wind raged. From within the Infinite Blood Hell, billions of agonizing roars seemed to echo. As these roars spread, even the Law Domain experts from both sides showed expressions of pain, their souls violently trembling, even showing signs of shattering. Fortunately, they were only affected by the aftermath. So, when they exerted their full Origin Qi, they managed to suppress that sensation of their souls shattering. The experts on the all-heaven's side all showed expressions of worry. Even as outsiders, they could still feel how terrifying Tai Xuan's counterattack was this time. Clearly, this confrontation could even decide the ultimate victor. They wondered if Zhou Yuan could withstand it...

Amidst the many worried gazes, Zhou Yuan, too, watched with a solemn expression as the seemingly boundless Infinite Blood Hell bore down. If he were truly suppressed within it, even death would be a luxury. “After all these years of risking my life, when have I ever feared anyone?!” A sharp glint appeared in Zhou Yuan's eyes. To suppress him, a piece of trash who forcibly enhanced himself with external power, was he even worthy?! Zhou Yuan raised his hand, and in his palm, a strangely glowing gourd flickered in and out of sight.
