Chapter 2362: Threat (2)
Long Yi went back and called the other four Dragon Ancestors over.
"So that's how it is," Long Er looked at the World Tree and the passage with realization. He had, in fact, noticed the abnormal energy flow in the Primal Chaos over the past few years and always wondered where it was going.
Long San, Long Si, and Long Wu felt the same. They finally understood everything and couldn't help but admire whoever had placed the World Tree here. While everyone competed for hegemony, someone silently protected the Primal Chaos in the shadows.
Long Xi walked towards the wall and called to everyone. "Let's set up the Dragon Sealing formation. I will be the catalyst."
"Absolutely not, My Queen," Long Yi quickly said. "Let me do it."
Yun Lintian suddenly remembered how Long Qingxuan had lost her memory because of the Dragon Sealing Formation. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Let me handle it."
"No! You can't," Long Wu quickly objected.
"I'll be fine. Trust me," Yun Lintian said confidently. He had studied the formation before and knew that no one was more qualified than him.
Long Xi nodded, a hint of concern lingering in her eyes. She understood Yun Lintian's determination, but she couldn't help but worry.
The Dragon Sealing Formation was an ancient and powerful technique, demanding a tremendous amount of energy and willpower from its catalyst. She knew that Yun Lintian was strong, but she also knew the risks involved.
Yun Lintian, however, remained unwavering. He stepped forward, his gaze focused on the shimmering wall of the passage. The others, despite their reservations, fell into position, forming a circle around him.
Yun Lintian closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. He visualized the intricate patterns of the formation, its ancient symbols swirling in his mind. He reached out, his palm touching the wall of the passage.
Buzz-
A surge of energy flowed from him, intertwining with the power of the World Tree and the dragon energy of the ancestors.
The passage began to shimmer, the swirling clouds of energy solidifying into a translucent barrier. Ancient symbols, glowing with a golden light, appeared on the surface, forming a complex network of interlocking patterns.
"Damn it!" The Shadow Demons roared in defiance, their voices a chorus of despair and fury.
They threw themselves against the barrier with renewed vigor, their claws tearing at the shimmering surface, their fangs gnashing in frustration. But the formation held, its power amplified by Yun Lintian's unwavering will and the combined strength of the Dragon Ancestors.
With a final surge of power, Yun Lintian pushed back against the Shadow Demons, his voice echoing through the passage. "Seal!"
Roar-
A deafening dragon's cry echoed throughout the passage as the golden symbols on the barrier erupted in a blinding flash, and a wave of pure energy washed over the Shadow Demons, pushing them back from the wall. Their forms flickered, their power waning under the onslaught of the Dragon Sealing Formation.
With a final, desperate roar, the Shadow Demons retreated, their forms dissolving into wisps of dark energy that swirled back into the vortex. The passage fell silent once more, the only sound the gentle rustling of the World Tree's leaves.
Yun Lintian, his body drained of energy, collapsed onto the ground, his breathing ragged. Long Xi quickly arrived beside him and gently touched his shoulder before injecting her
energy into his body.
"Thank you," Yun Lintian said weakly.
"We should be the ones thanking you. You did a good job," Long Xi said softly.
As Yun Lintian rested, his body slowly recovering from the strain of the Dragon Sealing Formation, the others set to work reinforcing the barrier. They channeled their dragon energy, weaving it into the fabric of the formation, strengthening its defenses against future
attacks.
The World Tree, its vitality restored, gradually reduced its energy absorption. The energy
flow quickly slowed down and returned to its original stage.
"How long do we have?" Yun Lintian looked at Yue Yun and asked.
Yue Yun sighed softly and said, "A hundred years at most. Besides, this isn't the only place. Have you forgotten about the wall out there?"
