The area covered by the twelve giant pillars was not large, and Celestine was trapped in it with no room to dodge. The black chain that descended from the sky was like a black python as it chased after Celestine.

Celestine tried his best to dodge, but the area he could move was limited. Soon, the black chain wrapped around his left leg. From afar, it looked like a black python was wrapping around his left leg and climbing upward. Celestine struggled violently, but it was all in vain.

"It's useless. The seal chain guided by this formation can seal your soul. You won't be able to break this seal for at least the next ten million years." Bartholomew looked at the frantically struggling Celestine with a mocking smile on his lips.

In just a few seconds, Celestine's entire body was completely wrapped in the black chain.

"Seal!" Bartholomew shouted.

The black chain suddenly stopped moving and turned into a huge black cocoon, completely sealing Celestine within it.

As time passed, the size of the black cocoon shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The original shape of the cocoon quickly turned into a human shape. The sealed Celestine looked like a mummy with black bandages all over his body.

The black bandage-like chains continued to change shape as time went on. It did not take long before they completely penetrated Celestine's body and turned into chain tattoos all over his body.

Even the black tattoos gradually penetrated deep into Celestine's flesh and bones as time passed, gradually fading until they completely disappeared.

Celestine's eyes were closed, and his entire body floated in the air. A breeze blew past, and his face, which had been covered by the brim of his hat, was finally revealed.

When he saw the face, Gu Ding was stunned because the face under the brim of the hat was that of Lillian, whom he had met once before.

Bartholomew's expression changed drastically. "You're not Celestine?!"

The girl whose soul was sealed did not answer, but her appearance was changing strangely.

Gu Ding and Bartholomew stared at the change intently, and the expression on their faces became more and more strange.

Because they clearly saw that Lillian had turned into a man in less than two minutes.

Bartholomew's expression changed drastically when he saw the man's face. Gu Ding, on the other hand, was baffled.

"What happened?" Gu Ding asked Neptune silently.

"If I'm not mistaken, that Celestine fellow has two souls. Bartholomew's move seemed to have sealed Lilian's soul, so Celestine's soul appeared, "Neptune speculated.

Celestine, who was dressed in a black robe, finally opened his eyes slowly. His golden gaze paused on Bartholomew for a moment, and he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth. "Long time no see, Bartholomew."

"How could this be?! Your soul was clearly sealed by me! "Bartholomew could not understand.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. That woman named Lillian has been fighting with me for the ownership of my body. Now that you've sealed her, she won't be able to fight me for my body for a long time. " Celestine looked at Bartholomew's shocked expression and said, "It seems that I forgot to tell you before. I'm a member of the Twin Souls Tribe, and I was born with two different souls. Our bodies are controlled by the two of us in turn. This period of time should have belonged to Lillian, but now that that woman has been sealed by you, the ownership of the body naturally belongs to me. "

His explanation was exactly the same as Neptune's speculation. However, this news was undoubtedly unprecedented bad news for Gu Ding and Bartholomew.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should only be able to use such a powerful sealing move once in a short period of time." Celestine looked at Bartholomew with a smile, but Bartholomew knew very well what kind of murderous intent was hidden behind his smile.

Bartholomew's face was gloomy. His soul and body were now completely out of sync, and for more than three million years, the strength of his soul had not improved much. The sealing move just now had consumed almost all of his soul power. Using it once was his limit, and it was impossible for him to use it a second time.

"It seems that we've completely screwed up this time …" Neptune smiled bitterly. "Bartholomew's soul, which is supporting the formation, is already extremely weak. It can't trap him at all, let alone use the same kind of seal as before."

"Run!" Gu Ding did not hesitate. He put a hand on Bartholomew's shoulder and pulled him into the distance.

"You actually have an accomplice who isn't even a True God. Bartholomew, you're really regressing the more you live." The corner of Celestine's mouth curled up. He stretched out a finger and tapped on the light curtain formed by the giant pillars.

The originally indestructible light curtain instantly burst, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air. Celestine's figure also disappeared from the area surrounded by the twelve giant pillars.

"Where do you think you're going? Do you want to hide in that underground rat hole from before? " Celestine suddenly appeared in the direction that Gu Ding was heading, looking at Gu Ding and Bartholomew with a smile on his face.

"You know?!" Bartholomew did not expect Celestine to know where he was hiding.

"Of course I know. You can't be thinking that I haven't looked for trouble with you for so many years because I don't know where you're hiding, right? If that's the case, you're really naive, "Celestine said mockingly. "The reason why I didn't look for trouble with you is because I know that even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. I was worried that if I pushed you too far, you would use that powerful move just now. Another reason is that I'm very sure that your strength won't improve at all if you hide in that kind of place, whereas my strength will continue to improve steadily. Back then, I was able to trample you under my feet, and now that I'm stronger, I can do the same. In other words, in my eyes, you're just a defeated opponent, and there's no need to kill you. "

"This little guy next to you isn't even a True God, but he looks like he's very talented. Unfortunately, he's going to be buried with you today. "Celestine glanced at Gu Ding, obviously not taking him seriously.

"You talk a lot of nonsense." Bartholomew did not have the strength to fight anymore, and he could not even escape. However, he still stood firmly in the void and looked at Celestine calmly.

"It looks like you can't wait for me to kill you?" Celestine's gaze turned cold.

"Then what are you waiting for? Are you afraid that I have a backup plan? "Bartholomew's lips curled up.

Celestine's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he still had some misgivings. Although he had already determined that the seal used by his opponent was probably his last resort, he was still not willing to take the risk.

After staring at Bartholomew for a long time, Celestine suddenly laughed. "Whether or not you have a backup plan, you'll know once you try."

As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a claw with one hand, and in the void, a translucent palm that was hundreds of meters long quickly condensed and pounced toward Gu Ding and Bartholomew.
