NOVPUBThe golden chains threaded through the void and directly entwined toward Bai Meng.
Bai Meng slightly frowned and struck at the iron chain with one palm.
A "boom" echoed all around, and to everyone’s surprise, the golden chain seemed to corrode bone—it passed through without being touched by Bai Meng’s attack.
It was as if the chain wasn’t a tangible object at all, just like a reflection.
Just as Bai Meng hadn’t yet reacted, the golden chains suddenly burst into a bright light.
They pierced through Bai Meng’s chest with blinding speed, impaling him and nailing him in midair.
Bai Meng struggled with all his might but felt as if there was a force in the golden chains capable of devouring his Demonic Qi.
In just a short time, he found himself unable to break free.
Bai Meng raised his head and fixed his gaze upon the people in the sky. The Demon-Slaying Family had existed for many eras.
Indeed, it seemed they had some profound skills, thoroughly researching the power of his Demon Race.
The numerous methods of the Demon-Slaying Family often proved to be doubly effective against his Demonic Skills.
And now, as the first golden chain impaled Bai Meng in midair, the remaining nine people also completed channeling their seals.
Nine seals shot up toward the sky, identical to Lan Jiulin’s earlier one.
But this time, the display was much more grand, a thundering roar echoed continuously throughout the sky.
Nine gateways opened simultaneously, and from them, nine golden chains descended like ancient golden dragons.
They cleaved through the void, shattered the firmament, and resounded mightily as they fell.
After traversing the void, the nine chains once again headed straight for Bai Meng.
Before Bai Meng could react, he saw the nine chains already wrapping around him.
His neck, including his hands and feet, were all completely bound.
Like a set of complete Principles, when the ten chains connected end to end.
Another "boom" sounded, and a wave of air spread out from the midst, with dense symbols emerging on the chains.
Though these symbols were indecipherable to the common eye, they gave off a vastly mysterious impression.
As the symbols appeared, the light from the chains grew even brighter.
Bai Meng could distinctly feel that these chains were devouring the Demonic Qi within his body.
As if they intended to consume all of the Demonic Qi, and even himself in the process.
"Within this Life and Death Demon Extinguishing Array, seven days are enough to thoroughly devour any Demonic Items, leaving no trace of your corpse," Lan Jingxiong said from the side.
"Enjoy the feast we’ve prepared for you."
"Even if you kill me, there are thousands and thousands more in the Demon Race. One day, our Demon Race will rule this era," Bai Meng said calmly.
"The wheels of the era are turning, and you are nothing but insignificant dust underneath."
"So what? As long as the Chaos Stone exists, your Demon Race will never break through the seals and step foot into the Yuan Central Continent," Lan Jiulin said indifferently.
"Can this sealing Formation truly obliterate him?" asked the Absolute Sword Elder, glancing at the raging Demonic Qi around Bai Meng with some uncertainty.
"An ordinary Demonic Item would definitely perish within seven days, but his demonic nature is too strong; I estimate it will take more time,"
Lan Jiulin explained, "However, I’m unsure of the exact time required because we’ve never encountered such an entity before."
"Then let’s stay and watch until the day he is truly eradicated," Sword Demon Dugu Wenchang declared with a cold snort.
As the seal bound Bai Meng, the entire space was covered.
The Demonic Qi in the sky began to disperse, and the barrier that enveloped the surroundings of Heaven Blue City for a hundred miles started to fade away.
The residents of Heaven Blue City returned to the city, while the Lan Family prepared a grand banquet, celebrating together with several great Immortal Gates.
Being able to kill a being like Bai Meng was, without a doubt, the greatest achievement in the Lan Family’s history.
...
Winter gradually receded, and the spring breeze caressed the whole world.
It brought the mildest climate of the seasons, trees began to take root and sprout, and all things transitioned from silence to revival.
After leaving the Netherworld Blood Sea, Xu Zimei and the Divine Emperor boarded a Teleportation Array, aiming to reach the Tianluan Domain.
The connection between the Tianluan Domain and the Eastern Continent was fairly close, and after several twists and turns,
they finally borrowed a path from the Chi Family and took a Teleportation Array to the Fierce Fire City of the Tianluan Domain.
This also brings to light the structure of the Tianluan Domain.
As one of the five great domains that stand side by side with the Shenghua Domain,
the Tianluan Domain alone has five Imperial Rule Immortal Sects, not to mention the mysterious Lan Family.
Since the Lan Family hasn’t produced a Great Emperor in generations, they can’t really be counted as an Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
From the Heavenly Sword Mountain which had two emperors in one gate, to the ordinary Imperial Rule Immortal Sects like Invincible Sect, Vast Immortal Sect, and Long River Immortal Sect.
As well as the strongest force in the domain, the Heavenly Emperor Gate with three emperors in one sect.
The five great Imperial Rule Immortal Sects have permeated the long history of the Tianluan Domain and have each left behind myriad legends in this part of the world.
Xu Zimei and the Divine Emperor traversed layers of space and finally arrived within the Tianluan Domain.
The city where they were located was called Fierce Fire City.
It was one of the myriad fertile lands governed by the Vast Immortal Sect.
Stepping out of the Teleportation Array, Xu Zimei’s view became much clearer as she was not too familiar with the Tianluan Domain.
Xu Zimei and the Divine Emperor planned to stay here for one night, gather information on the route, and then go directly to the Lan Family.
As night fell, the two found an inn in a tavern within the city.
They ordered some food and wine and started to chat while eating.
After the waiter served the dishes, Xu Zimei rewarded him with a few Spirit Crystals.
She inquired, "Buddy, I want to ask about some things."
"Guest, please go ahead," the waiter swiftly tucked away the Spirit Crystals and responded with a smile.
"How far is the Lan Family from here?" asked Xu Zimei.
"You are talking about the Lan Family in Heaven Blue City, right?" the waiter thought for a moment,
then replied, "It’s a bit of a distance. If you want to go there, guest, you must take a Teleportation Array from White Bone City to reach it."
"White Bone City," Xu Zimei murmured softly, nodding slightly.
Because it was evening, there were quite a few customers dining in the tavern.
As Xu Zimei was eating, she saw a group of people enter through the door.
Most of the group were young men and women, and the leader was an elder with white-streaked beard, donned in a scholar’s robe.
The young men and women were dressed in the same style of clothing, all wearing dark blue robes.
The word "Dao" was inscribed on the back of the robes.
At a glance, it was evident that this group of young men and women had an extraordinary aura.
They were obviously different from ordinary people, with each of them radiating youthful vigor and good looks.
As this group walked in, a brief silence suddenly fell on the first floor of the tavern.
"Heavenly Dao Academy, they are students from the Heavenly Dao Academy!" a customer exclaimed.
"The Heavenly Dao Academy, the number one academy on the continent," the people looked at the group with admiration and awe.
Established since the era of Wild Desolation, it is now the most prestigious academy.
