1485 Seal!

In front of Xia Fan was an enormous Seal.

The Seal was round, like a divine shield, and blocked the path leading to the end of the maze.

On the Seal was the winged symbol of the Skywings, brimming with an indescribable sense of power and vivacity.

Alas, this Seal with a diameter of one hundred meters had been severely damaged. The center of the seal had been scratched out by what appeared to be a demonic claw. Based on the claw marks, the damage had been done by something from inside the Seal. As for what had damaged the Seal, nobody in Xia Fan’s group knew.

!!

There was a bloody energy membrane on the area where the seal was damaged, exuding a red glow. The Murder Shrine’s army had entered the end of the maze through this area.

Xia Fan was shocked and really wanted to touch the Seal left behind by his family.

The others were also utterly stunned. That story of what the Skywings had done and said forty thousand years ago was actually true!

This was truly an unfathomable existence. On one side, the Skywings had destroyed Ashen Dragon and Hidden Moon, but on the other side, they had Sealed the Demon Chasm and saved the Ashen Moon Universe. Thousand Ink and the others were a mess, not knowing if they should hate the Skywings or thank them.

“The Seal has been opened! What do we do!?” Luo Jiuyi shrieked like a cat. The constantly sleepy fellow had now completely woken up, his eyes wide open.

Everyone started shouting. “What exactly is inside the Demon Chasm?”

“It’s not important what’s inside. What’s important is if it got out!”

“That accursed Murder Shrine! They’re trying to kill the entire universe!”

“Everyone, shut up!” Xia Fan suddenly roared. As if his voice had a magical power, everyone instantly calmed down.

He looked over at his brothers, and everyone turned solemn.

But a second later, Xia Fan revealed his standard sunny smile. “This place should be the legendary Demon Chasm. I don’t know what sort of monsters are inside the Demon Chasm, nor do I care! In any case, there is only one path before us. We either have to forge a bloody path out of here, or else we die here!

“I am happy to be fighting together alongside all of you, but there’s no time to hesitate. Follow behind me, and whether it’s a monster or our foes of the Murder Shrine, we’re only doing one thing today: killing! Charging in and killing them all!”

Xia Fan raised his arms and shouted, his words getting the blood of Traveling Buddha and the others pumping, filling their chests with courage.

Logically, Xia Fan should have regarded the opening of the Demon Chasm with caution. After all, he had no idea what was inside the Demon Chasm or how strong the enemy within was.

But while they were making their way here, Xia Fan had been thinking. The Murder Shrine had been advancing in an orderly fashion, so why had they all suddenly charged into the Demon Chasm?

Not defending the rear was a taboo in military strategy. On the entire way here, Xia Fan had not seen a single Murder Shrine warrior. That was clearly abnormal! The only possibility was that they had encountered some huge problem that required all of their forces.

Thus, Xia Fan had made up his mind to not do any sort of scouting or stopping, and to charge straight into the Demon Chasm!

Whatever was in the Chasm, he would kill it first and then talk about it!

..

“Charge! We just need to charge into the center of the Seal Formation and we’ll be safe!”

“Second Assault Group to the front! Rotate with the First Assault Group!”

“Hold the flanks! Hold the flanks!”

“Carson! Take your men and plug up the hole on the right flank!”

“There’s no retreat for us! We can only charge forward!”

In the Demon Chasm, the muscular and hawk-nosed Anyo, his body drenched in blood, was leading a difficult battle.

The Murder Shrine’s opponents were Demonic Ants, said to be the most wicked and most undefeatable foe in all of the Great Chiliocosm. These human-shaped ants with black shells had surrounded the Murder Shrine’s army and were battering away at them in unending waves.

There was no opening in any direction, and overhead there were even Demonic Ants with wings. Warriors with flight special abilities would be torn to shreds by the terrifying things the moment they tried to fly, their flesh and blood raining down over their comrades.

The army of thirty thousand Murder Shrine elites had been cut down to less than ten thousand soldiers who were just barely hanging on. The challenging circumstances had Commander Anyo going crazy.

The situation was many times worse than they had imagined. Just the second level of the Demon Chasm had cost them nearly twenty thousand elites. Anyo had wanted to retreat then, but the Demon Chasm was one-way. Once one descended into the Demon Chasm, one would have to find the other exit to leave. Thus, Anyo had hardened up and led his men forward.

At present, the Murder Shrine’s army was surrounded by countless Demonic Ants. They were currently trying to push into the center of the Ant Demon hive. There, five glowing crystals stood, each a hundred meters tall.

The crystals were blue, and the Demonic Ants seemed quite afraid of them. The Demonic Ants on the ground moved around the crystal formation while the Demonic Ants in the air didn’t dare to fly over them. So long as they could get into the Formation, the humans would be safe!

It wasn’t very far away, so Anyo could tell that there was something round in the center of the Formation, radiating a white light. That was exactly what Anyo and the Murder Shrine needed to get at all costs.

historical

The Murder Shrine could not be called weak, but they had suffered so bitterly in this battle because these Demonic Ants were immune to their special abilities!

Their black shells were like demonic stones that could absorb special abilities, whether they were fire, wind, ice,lightning, or anything else. Any special ability used on an Ant Demon would disappear like fire encountering water.

The only special abilities usable in this battle were those of the most looked-down-upon strength category!

Strength-types didn’t have flashy attacks, but their vigorous strikes were surprisingly effective. These Demonic Ants were unable to take the swings of their weapons and were all cut down.

Of the fifty thousand people Anyo had brought, around two thousand were special ability users. Those warriors with flashy special abilities were being cut down one by one, and only the two hundred ability users of the strength-type remained around him in a tight circle.

Several minutes ago, Anyo had lost half of his men. At this time they were only several tens of kilometers from the crystal formation.

When they were numerous, they still hadn’t been able to charge in, and now that their numbers had dwindled, their rate of advance was growing slower and slower.

“Are we really going to die here!?” Anyo truly wanted to look up at the heavens and bellow, cursing the cosmic gods for their injustice. But at this moment, Anyo realized that another group of humans had appeared behind them!

There were only eight people in this group, but they advanced with shocking speed. Under the leadership of a skirmisher, they viciously charged forward. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the Murder Shrine’s army.

In other words, they had come later and arrived first!

They had also noticed that the center of the crystal formation was a safe zone. The Murder Shrine’s force was still tens of kilometers away from the safe zone, but the eight men were nearing it rapidly!

While they had also realized how ineffective special abilities were, their composition was much more suitable. Not only did their team have a Speed-type warrior, they also had a guy shining with golden light, clearly someone from the Holy Buddha Clan!

The Speed-type warrior opened the path, using speed in excess of 1200 meters per second to crazily charge forward.

If there was no path forward, he would force one open!

Too fast! He was just too fast!

Other special abilities were useless on the Demonic Ants, but that Speed-type warrior only grew stronger and stronger! Not only was he opening the way, he often turned back to defend the rear!

He was the one who opened the path, reacted to the situation, and even defended the rear!

That Speed-type warrior was like an omnipresent monster. His figure could be seen everywhere!

The Demonic Ants that had given the Murder Shrine such a huge problem couldn’t stop them!

After only several minutes, they got in!

They had actually reached it first! Anyo felt like throwing up blood!

These people had clearly come later than them, but they had successfully opened up a bloody path and became the first to enter the Seal Formation!
