Chapter 830 The Word that Sealed The Unknown
Gradually, the Gravekeeper began to display signs of decline. At his level, once he began to weaken, his inevitable defeat would not be far away. Nanan and the others could not help but feel a little anxious. If even the Gravekeeper could not stop the Evil Thought, what hope did they have left?
“Sister Willow, can you help the Gravekeeper?” pleaded Dragin.
The willow branches swayed in the wind as if shaking their heads. If the Gravekeeper had not rescued them just now, the Evil Thought’s ultimate spell would have decimated everyone, including the willow branches.
“Hahaha, you and I have been fighting for countless years, and I finally won! I told you a long time ago that it’s only a matter of time before the arrival of a new era, and that I’d eventually reappear in the world!” gloated the Evil Thought. Then, he threw his head back in laughter while his aura became more and more powerful.
The Gravekeeper’s face was expressionless. He did not say anything and continued to parry with the Evil Thought with determination in his eyes. After all, actions were louder than words.
The Evil Thought was right. The Unknown could not be erased. Hence, it could spend countless long years in the ancestral land looking for opportunities. The Gravekeeper, however, was different. He had to make sure there was no mistake in the seal’s set-up because if there was, the Evil Thought would be able to find an opening to escape. However, no one could prevent mistakes, for even the Yun clan had a change of heart over the evolution of countless years.
However, the Gravekeeper was not ready to throw in the towel yet.
“Wisdom True Dragon, manifest my body!” The Gravekeeper’s power suddenly condensed rapidly and the endless Wisdom around him converged into a giant dragon phantom. The terrifying power instantly turned the entire ancestral land into a vacuum and everything inside it was shaken out.
Even Nanan and the others were shaken by the shocking force.
“This…this is amazing!!”
“Just a trace of the supreme power’s consciousness can cast such a terrifying ultimate spell!”
“The question is whether it’s enough to suppress The Unknown!”
At that moment, the imposing force of the Gravekeeper had also undergone earth-shaking changes. He was no longer degenerating. Instead, he was standing upright and strong, perched on the Wisdom True Dragon’s head. He had an aura that was majestic and unstoppable.
“Over…. Overlord.” Yun Kong and his men were scared out of their wits by the force and they were trembling nonstop. The awe lurking in the depths of their bloodlines burst and enveloped them. The ultimate spell was the Gravekeeper’s strongest attack. It was also the trump card given to him by the supreme power.
Yun Kong’s face darkened and his mana exploded to the limit. “There’s no turning back now! We must release the new Overlord to welcome a new future!”
With all his power, he cast a claw strike toward the depths of the ancestral land.
“Ah, so you have a trump card hidden after all…” The Evil Thought’s face became solemn while the gray mist all over his body bubbled like boiling water. It looked like a roaring beast.
“World Suppressing Heavenly Law!” A powerful force condensed in his body as well. Then, he launched a palm strike at the Gravekeeper. He was proud of himself and wanted to suppress the Wisdom True Dragon with the power of Heaven!
Two extremely terrifying forces collided together and turned into endless light that enveloped the sky, stinging everyone’s eyes. However, the extraordinariness of this ancestral land was beyond everyone’s expectations. Under such terrifying bombardment, it remained intact. It seemed that there was an unimaginable sealing power that could seal everything inside it.
Nanan and the others looked at the battlefield once more when the light had all dissipated. There was only a faint outline left of the Gravekeeper after he used almost all of his power for the ultimate spell. It looked like he would be easily blown away by a gust of wind.
The Evil Thought’s situation was not much better. He was lying on the ground with only a few wisps of gray mist remaining.
Yang Jing gulped and exclaimed, “What a terrifying ultimate spell the Wisdom True Dragon is!”
It was also unbelievable how the Gravekeeper could reverse his decline with just an ultimate spell.
“The ultimate spell alone could make anyone become a supreme power!” said Nanan.
“Oh, no! We still have to stop the Yun Clan!” cried Cultivator Junjun in a panic.
“Hahaha, it’s too late!” said Yun Kong as his face broke out in a cruel smile. He had successfully torn down the seal with his claw strike. The seal had been held intact by an incredibly tattered piece of paper that had been worn down over the years, so much so that the word on it was no longer legible. Nobody expected that The Unknown was sealed by a seemingly ordinarily looking paper.
Nanan and the others were shocked while the Gravekeeper looked at the torn paper sadly.
As for the Evil Thought on the ground, he was regaining its power fast. “Wahahaha, that damn seal’s finally gone!”
He was beyond ecstatic, to the point of madness. As he raised his hand, the chain that was originally bound to him broke inch by inch without the slightest resistance. At the same time, his power grew even stronger than when he fought against the Gravekeeper earlier.
Yun Kong and the others were overjoyed when they saw this, and they hurriedly prostrated before the Evil Thought. “Congratulations on your glorious return, Overlord!”
“You’ve done well. You’ll all be my people in the future!” said the Evil Thought regally.
“Thank you, Overlord!”
Then, the Evil Thought’s eyes fell on Nanan and others. “You all carry the aura of the supreme powers. Are you their descendants? I’m also willing to accept you as my subjects, and I’ll give you stronger powers as well!”
While speaking, the gray mist surrounded Nanan and the others, as if it would melt into their bodies the moment they nodded their heads.
Nanan looked at the gray mist with a look of disgust and quickly shook her head. “No, thanks!”
The others were also continuously exerting their mana, and looking at the unknown gray mist with extreme vigilance.
Unsurprisingly, the Evil Thought would not take no for an answer. “There’s no need to make a decision now. Why don’t you give it a try? I guarantee you’ll like it.”
As soon as the Evil Thought finished speaking, the gray mist immediately surged toward Nanan and the others. All their mana and defense spells were no use against the gray mist at all. They could only watch with horror as the gray mist came at them.
Soon, the unknown gray mist was dancing on their skin but…that was about as far as it got, for it found itself unable to penetrate their skin any further. It was as if it was being held back by a mysterious power.
“This…this is…” The Gravekeeper trembled suddenly and its eyes widened with surprise and delight. “Their auras can resist unknown contamination.”
“How can this be?!” The Evil Thought hissed and screamed. His eyes widened in horror as if recalling something extremely terrifying.
Nanan and the others looked confused. They were still trying to figure out what happened when suddenly, the tattered piece of paper seemed to feel something and started moving on its own. It floated in the void, glowing brightly. Then, the mud on the paper faded little by little, revealing the word that was written on it.
There was only one word in the center of the paper. ‘Fan!
