Chapter 475: Into the Core of the Seal
"Do not seal it. Do not fight it. Understand it."
Those words were like a bolt of invisible lightning, cutting through all the chaos in Aiden’s mind.
Yves’s plan, Kelsey’s dreams, and that mysterious golden gate seemed to connect at this moment.
But he no longer had time to think about it carefully.
The Abyss was already moving. The ruins in the north were still bleeding. Earth could not survive another disaster.
"Let’s go."
Aiden took a deep breath. The confusion in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by cold killing intent.
Beside him, Bella gave a slight nod. As her long dress moved, the space beneath her feet cracked apart inch by inch. She turned into a bright beam of light and shot into the sky.
Two divine-tier lights tore through Earth’s atmosphere, crossed the barrier of the Golden Great Wall, and rushed straight toward the oldest and most terrifying Abyssal rift-
The Abyss of Demon Sealing.
...
The Abyss of Demon Sealing.
This was the deepest layer of the Abyss, and a forbidden zone even in the myriad races rank.
The space around them was twisted like crumpled paper. Gravity had completely stopped working here, and even light could not travel in a straight line.
"Even the last time I came to the Abyss, I only reached the outer edge of the Abyss of Demon Sealing."
Bella stood in the void. The pressure of her God-King Rank power turned into rings of white light around her, holding back the violent tearing force of the warped space.
"This place is the true core of the Seven Pillar Seal. No living person has ever stepped inside."
Aiden looked down. In the endless darkness below, he could vaguely see seven strange mists twisting together, each with a different color.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
They were the auras of Pride, Envy, Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, and Lust-the seven original powers.
Boom!
The moment they crossed the border of the Abyss of Demon Sealing, an indescribably terrifying will surged toward them like a crushing tide.
It was pure negative emotion, carrying a dreadful power that could corrupt, twist, and completely absorb even the will of a god.
The aura of Wrath tried to ignite the divine power inside Aiden, dragging him into endless slaughter.
The aura of Greed whispered in his ear, tempting him to seize all power and authority in the world.
Lust and Sloth turned into countless pink illusions, trying to wear down his will to fight and make him sink into gentle dreams.
"The Law of Light-Purifying Lotus Blossom!"
Bella let out a cold snort and lightly pointed with her jade-like finger. A huge white lotus, formed from pure Law of Light, bloomed beneath their feet.
Holy light spread out and became an unbreakable barrier, purifying the evil auras that tried to invade their bodies.
However, the mist around them seemed endless. As the white lotus burned through its power at a terrifying speed, its light began to shake violently.
"The laws here are completely chaotic. My Law of Light is being heavily suppressed."
Bella’s face had turned a little pale.
"Let me handle it."
Aiden stepped forward and stood in front of her.
Boom!
Just as Aiden was about to force his divine power out to fight against the corruption, the system in his mind suddenly shook violently.
"Ding! Original will invasion detected. The 10,000x Critical Hit System has automatically activated Will Anchor."
"Ding! The 10,000x Critical Hit boost has locked onto the host’s mind. You are now immune to all spirit assimilation and will distortion effects!"
Buzz!
An indescribable golden divine light exploded deep inside Aiden’s soul. It turned into a huge golden anchor and nailed itself firmly into the center of his inner spirit.
The aura of the Seven Deadly Sins, which had almost torn his sanity apart, collapsed like melting snow the moment it touched the golden divine light.
Aiden’s body trembled, and shock flashed in his eyes.
So the 10,000x Critical Hit System was not only meant to increase attack power!
Its true core power was actually will anchoring!
"Yves... did you really predict even this?"
Aiden was amazed.
That brilliant Divine Emperor had already known, from the very beginning of his thousand-year plan, that his successor would one day face this original will that could corrupt even gods.
That was why he had left this system behind as Aiden’s strongest soul shield.
"System, activate 10,000x Critical Hit. Release my law power!"
Aiden shouted in his mind.
Boom!
A supreme and overwhelming golden divine power surged out of Aiden’s body.
With the terrifying boost from the 10,000x Critical Hit System, this power turned into a brilliant golden domain. In an instant, it merged with Bella’s lotus of light.
Golden light and white radiance shone together. In the chaotic, twisted Abyss of Demon Sealing, they forcefully opened up a pure space several hundred feet wide.
"This power..."
A deep shock flashed through Bella’s beautiful eyes.
She could feel that the golden power inside Aiden was actually faintly above her God-King Rank laws.
"Don’t get distracted. Stay close to me. We’re going down!"
Aiden’s expression was cold and serious. Carrying this only patch of pure ground with him, he shot downward like a golden meteor, crashing toward the deepest part of the Abyss of Demon Sealing.
The deeper they went, the more terrifying the pressure around them became.
And the strongest pressure came from the will of the Demon of Pride.
"I am stronger than everything..."
"All gods are ants. Heaven and earth were born for me..."
Endless whispers roared wildly in Aiden’s ears. That arrogance, that pride, that feeling of looking down on all living things, slammed into his mind again and again.
If an ordinary Reclasser, even a Venerable, touched this will, they would go mad in an instant and die from their own arrogance.
But under the powerful anchoring of the 10,000x system, Aiden’s eyes stayed as calm as ancient ice. Not even the slightest ripple appeared in them.
"Pride? You’re nothing but a homeless dog hiding in a dark corner."
Wrapped in divine power, Aiden’s voice turned into rolling thunder, shattering the aura of Pride around him.
At last.
After passing through layers of thick mist, a massive black seal core appeared before them.
It was a towering altar made from countless golden chains of law. But now, the chains were covered with dense black cracks.
At the center of the altar, a huge black heart, as large as a mountain, was slowly beating. With every beat, it released a terrifying wave of dark divine power.
The seal core was right in front of them!
Bella took a deep breath. She formed a seal with her delicate hands, and God-King Rank law power began to gather in her palm.
But before she could act-
A huge blood-red crack suddenly opened on the giant black heart. It looked like a cold and cruel eye, staring straight at them.
A terrifying pressure descended, far beyond ordinary gods, and even beyond the limit of the God-King Rank.
The will of the Demon of Pride had already fully awakened!
"You... came to strengthen the seal?"
A vast voice, filled with endless mockery and amusement, exploded deep inside their inner spirits.
"How laughable... truly laughable..."
"You think the leftovers of that dead Yves can still keep me trapped?"
"Good. Since you came all the way here... I will show you why this so-called seal is meaningless!"
Buzz!
Before the voice even faded, the entire Abyss of Demon Sealing changed violently.
The twisted space around them froze in an instant. The chaotic laws were forcibly reshaped by an extremely dominant Dark Law.
The sealing altar, which had been only a hundred steps away from them, suddenly stretched infinitely into the distance. At the same time, the void around them turned into countless black spiderwebs, shrinking and closing in wildly.
This was a trap!
A divine trap, made specifically to wait for them to walk right into it!
Rumble!
The entire Abyss of Demon Sealing shook violently in an instant. The surrounding void twisted and reshaped like boiling water.
The clear lines of law that had been visible before all snapped apart. They turned into a storm of wild, colorful, and chaotic energy.
"This is bad! The laws here are completely out of control!"
Bella cried out. She tried to use the God-King Rank Law of Light inside her to stabilize the situation.
But the holy white purifying light was forcibly twisted into a strange pale purple the moment it touched the chaotic energy around them. Its purifying effect was greatly weakened.
Aiden frowned slightly. He pointed two fingers forward like a blade and tried to use the Law of Space to teleport away with Bella.
Rip!
The moment the Law of Space activated, the void in front of him shattered like a mirror. A violent spatial storm almost dragged him inside.
In this chaotic law field, space folding had completely failed. Any teleportation path had become unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
"Don’t use the Law of Space. Use thunder!"
Aiden shouted in a low voice. Brilliant golden lightning suddenly lit up in his eyes.
Boom!
The 10,000x Critical Hit System responded at once. The violent Law of Thunder turned into the power of a heavenly tribulation and burst out from his body.
Thunder was the punishment of heaven and earth. Among all laws, it was one of the most brutal forces, and it adapted best to chaotic environments.
Blinding golden lightning turned into giant thunder dragons, each hundreds of feet long. They tore wildly through the chaotic law field, forcefully opening up a relatively safe vacuum zone for the two of them.
Just then, the huge black heart, as large as a mountain, exploded with a loud boom.
Endless black mist rose into the sky and quickly gathered in midair.
A massive phantom, expanding without limit and almost covering the entire Abyss of Demon Sealing, slowly appeared within the black mist.
It had no clear facial features, only a pair of huge eyes like blood-red suns, looking down from the endless sky.
Boom!
With just one glance, its terrifying will pressed down like millions of mountains crashing down at the same time.
