Zi Lingling was not faring much better.
She had used the Zhenmo Seal, Fengmo Jue, and Yanling power three times in a row, leaving her divine sense and spiritual power at less than a fifth.
Coupled with the occasional resistance to the terrifying pressure, her face grew even paler, and her breathing became more labored.
Fortunately, they had completed the reinforcement of three stone walls, and the terrifying pressure had dissipated a little further, giving them a brief respite.
"Hold on a little longer!"
Feng Liqi gritted her teeth and grabbed Zi Lingling, flying towards the fourth wall.
Inside the mountain, the blood-red Huanmo Seal and the milky-white Zhenmo Seal were still entangled.
However, the blood-red Huanmo Seal's light had dimmed, while the milky-white Zhenmo Seal's light was resplendent.
The scales of victory were tipping towards the Zhenmo Seal.
Suddenly, the Huanmo Seal rapidly contracted and exploded without warning.
This explosion also blew a gap in the Zhenmo Seal.
And that gap was the fourth mountain wall.
In front of the fourth mountain wall, Zi Lingling had just finished casting the Zhenmo Seal and Fengmo Jue. Before she could strike the wall, she heard a "crack."
Following that, with a "boom," the Zhenmo Seal on the fourth mountain wall completely disappeared.
Immense pressure surged out from here.
Feng Liqi and Zi Lingling, at the end of their strength, were immediately buffeted backward by this pressure.
They flew a full thousand zhang before crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Pfft!"
Feng Liqi spat out a mouthful of blood and lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Zi Lingling coughed out three mouthfuls of blood in quick succession. Her just-healed internal organs were shattered again.
"Damn it! Cough, cough!"
She gritted her teeth and cursed, spitting out a few more mouthfuls of blood.
Blood mixed with fragments of her internal organs fell to the ground, a horrifying sight.
Zi Lingling lay weakly on the ground, using her remaining willpower to guide the life force from the green space to repair her internal organs again.
The speed of this repair was significantly slower than the last time, but it still only took a moment.
However, while the injuries could be healed, the depleted spiritual power and divine sense could not be restored in a short time.
A large amount of demonic energy rapidly surged from the fourth mountain wall.
"Jie jie... I am about to break free completely! Chaos, the day I break free completely will be the day your clan perishes! Jie jie..."
A cold, hateful voice echoed.
The voice was ancient, evil, and venomous, seeming to have traversed millions of years of time and space.
At the same time as this voice, the phantom of a black-robed figure appeared in the air.
"Alas! I, after a hundred million years, why are you still so impatient!"
This voice was also ancient, but it sounded ethereal and indifferent.
And appearing simultaneously with this voice was the phantom of a gray-clothed figure.
Feng Liqi on the ground stared blankly at the gray-clothed figure in the sky, tears glistening in her eyes.
Her lips moved incessantly, but she could not utter a sound.
The black-robed figure and the gray-clothed figure faced each other across the void. A vacuum appeared between them.
As the two gazed at each other, terrifying pressure instantly permeated the entire demon seal area.
Zi Lingling looked at the two figures in the sky with horror.
Too powerful!
Too terrifying!
Too formidable!
At this moment, she felt like an ant, struggling to stay afloat in a turbulent, raging sea.
"Chaos, you sealed me for millions of years, did you ever consider that I would return one day? Jie jie jie jie..."
The black-robed figure's arrogant and crazed laughter made Zi Lingling's scalp tingle.
The gray-clothed figure shook his head helplessly and let out another sigh.
"Alas! I, all things in the world rise and fall, all have their destinies, why can't you understand yet?"
The black-robed figure sneered, "Destiny? Jie jie! Chaos, cast aside your hypocritical facade! Even if there is destiny, it is your destiny!"
The gray-clothed figure shook his head and said, "I, I thought that these hundred million years of suppression could allow you to comprehend the heavenly secrets and see your fate. But I was wrong after all! Destiny is destiny, even if I can comprehend it, I cannot change the outcome!"
The black-robed figure was startled and said, "Chaos, what do you mean?"
The gray-clothed figure's gaze became distant as he said, "I, you are rejoicing too soon! If you could have stayed peacefully within the seal, you could have escaped this great calamity! But you insisted on acting clever and trying to break through the seal. It seems you are destined to escape the great calamity of fate! Time and destiny! Time and destiny!"
Suddenly, his gaze converged completely, and he shouted, "I, do you know that the day you completely break free is the day of your utter destruction!"
The black-robed figure was taken aback, as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world, and burst into maniacal laughter, "Jie jie jie jie..."
The gray-clothed figure shook his head helplessly, looked in the direction of Zi Lingling, and smiled, "Only with a seal in your heart can you seal heaven and earth; only with love in your heart can you break through the cage; only with a true heart can you save yourself! Do you understand?"
As the gray-clothed figure finished speaking, Zi Lingling suddenly felt her body regain mobility, and the spiritual power and divine sense that had been depleted were completely restored to their peak state.
She softly repeated the gray-clothed figure's words, "Only with a seal in your heart can you seal heaven and earth; only with love in your heart can you break through the cage; only with a true heart can you save yourself!"
"Only with a seal in my heart can I seal heaven and earth; only with love in my heart can I..."
"With a heart..."
Seeing the increasingly clear light in Zi Lingling's eyes, the gray-clothed figure nodded with a smile.
His gaze fell upon Feng Liqi, and he said kindly, "Child, you have grown up!"
Feng Liqi's injuries were completely healed, tears streamed down her cheeks, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a happy smile.
She moved her lips and softly uttered two words, "Ancestral God!"
The Ancestral God Chaos, after creating heaven and earth, did not hesitate to transform himself into the Way to find a chance of survival for humanity.
"Child, you are very good! All nine of you are very good! I am very pleased! Remember, although heavenly secrets are hard to predict, the human heart surpasses the heavenly heart! Use my body to protect countless souls!"
"I cannot intervene in this human world calamity, and your hope lies in the budding of the heart!"
Feng Liqi paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.
She nodded and said, "Qi'er remembers!"
The black-robed figure had long stopped laughing and looked at the gray-clothed figure with disdain, "Chaos, you are still as hypocritical and annoying as ever. You could have been straightforward, but you insist on using a string of riddles. I feel tired for you!"
The gray-clothed figure smiled and said, "When you comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos, you will naturally understand their profound meaning. I, before your seal is broken, you should return to the seal and remain at peace!"
The black-robed figure was taken aback and said, "Chaos, you are merely a wisp of remnant soul, why should I listen to you?"
