Chapter 449 The Seal of Kongtong Unveils a Change in Heaven and Earth
It was nighttime, and the night sky, which should have been quiet, suddenly rippled with an eerie light. The full moon, which had been hanging high in the sky, was eroded by a blood-red hue. The stars were brighter than ever before, as if they were being moved by an invisible hand, deviating from their paths and leaving dazzling silver streaks on the sky.
Then, in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the sky! Lightning flashed and thunder roared!
Strangely, the sea was calm. Logically, such an exaggerated change in the weather should have been accompanied by violent storms, but all that could be seen were dark clouds and continuous lightning.
After a while, the wind finally picked up. The wind wasn't strong, but it gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, as if even breathing became difficult. The whole world seemed to be covered by an invisible, supreme power!
Suddenly, everyone felt an unusual stirring in their hearts! It's here!
as predicted!
A deep rumble came from the depths of the earth, the sea became turbulent, and golden magma spewed from the seabed. However, it did not react with the seawater; instead, it condensed into a winding, dragon-shaped stream of light, which rapidly surged out of the sea and hovered in the sky!
A crowd of onlookers quickly pulled out their camera equipment; such a supernatural sight isn't something you see every day! It's so beautiful! So magnificent! A sight to remember!
Countless strange phenomena of mountain peaks appeared in the sky again. The ancient main peak of Kongtong Mountain revealed the outline of a giant tortoise amidst the tremors. Dense runes appeared on the tortoise shell, each one like a blood-soaked prayer from ancient ancestors, resonating with the blood-red moonlight in the sky.
Then, the clouds suddenly tore apart, and nine bolts of purple-gold lightning descended like chains, but solidified before the cauldron—they were actually nine menacingly scaled thunder dragons! Their heads were lowered! Their eyes blazed! They all swooped down towards the giant cauldron!
As the thunder dragon crashed into the giant cauldron, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Ripples spread across the cauldron, and the opening at the top of the cauldron finally opened slowly!
A bronze seal burst forth from the cauldron, and the nine jade dragons entwined around its body seemed to be infused with life, raising their heads and roaring, their cries shattering the clouds for miles around!
Around the throne, the phantoms of the Five Heavenly Emperors appeared in the air, some holding swords pointing to the sky, others playing zithers to suppress the earth. Their holy might poured out like a torrent, pressing down on all living beings within a thousand miles, causing them to prostrate themselves and tremble. Even the creatures in the ocean were no exception!
Even the deep-sea behemoths bowed in submission towards the bronze seal.
"Holy crap! What is that thing?" Zhang Chulan, lying on the deck, exclaimed in shock. Was the mere appearance of the creature enough to cause such a commotion? The overwhelming feeling made him realize how insignificant he truly was!
This feeling is almost what every bystander in the room is thinking right now.
The bronze seal hung in mid-air, and the two characters "Kongtong" on the bottom of the seal burst forth with golden light, transforming into countless talismans that were scattered throughout the entire blue planet.
In an instant, they traveled thousands of miles! In the city, white-collar workers working overtime, beggars on the street, students in classrooms... all those whose blood flowed with the mark of humanity felt their hearts pound uncontrollably, and the roar of ancient war drums echoed in their ears! Everyone present, regardless of nationality, race, or belief, felt the same emotion at this moment!
Around the seal, the void twisted into a vortex, and the shadowy figures of ancient history could be vaguely seen: Suirenshi drilling wood to make fire, the Yellow Emperor wielding his sword to slay Chiyou, Yu the Great lifting mountains to establish the nine provinces... Human destiny surged like a long river, converging on the seal!
The onlookers were utterly shocked! Those who knew about it explained to those who didn't: this thing is like the mythical version of the Imperial Seal of the Great Xia Dynasty! Do you understand its immense value?
After the strange phenomenon lasted for three quarters of an hour, the nine thunder dragons suddenly contracted and transformed into streams of light that disappeared into the seal.
The illusory figures of the Five Heavenly Emperors raised their hands to form a seal, and a solemn declaration resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Humanity will never perish! Kongtong will forever guard this realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Kongtong Seal transformed into a stream of light and landed in the hand of Li Muyang, who was standing in the void.
Looking at the Kongtong Seal in his hand, which was now mostly repaired, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth the effort; this repair had almost cleared out most of his stockpile!
Well, no one would think that Li Muyang only used Nasen Island and the Divine Tree to repair the Kongtong Seal, right? How could that be! This is the Kongtong Seal, a primordial spiritual treasure, a supreme treasure of humanity! How could it be repaired so easily? Li Muyang's stockpile of rare and precious treasures was basically used up by this!
There were still quite a few of these, which Shennong Beast got from Hong Anguo! I had just gotten them and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy them before they were all gone... 555.
This is only a large part of the repair of the Kongtong Seal. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. The current state of repair has already greatly accelerated the self-repair efficiency of the Kongtong Seal! With the subsequent layout of the martial arts world, it should be able to be completely repaired by then.
It's just repair, not restoring its peak power. That's something Li Muyang will probably have to wait until he's at a higher level, at least until he's at the Celestial Immortal realm, before discussing and thinking about such things.
Repairing magical artifacts is usually most difficult and complex at the beginning and the last remaining part, while the middle part is much easier.
But it's all worth it!
Li Muyang couldn't hide his smile as he put away the Kongtong Seal, while secretly remaining vigilant about his surroundings. After all, in this situation, wouldn't a few clueless people suddenly appear to kill and steal the treasure?
Unfortunately, he was overthinking it. Even after Li Muyang put away the Kongtong Seal, nothing foolishly appeared.
Hmm... but quite a few people are secretly observing! Like that bald lady over there.
Oh, it's just an energy body state.
Don't think you can stop me with spatial dimension magic! Li Muyang saw it all clearly! Hmph!
Noticing that Li Muyang had discovered her, Gu Yi didn't seem embarrassed. She smiled and nodded politely, indicating that she meant no harm and that he could go about his business. Then she waved her hand and left.
slip away!
The Five Heavenly Emperors have all appeared! She can't afford to offend this person! Gu Yi saw it clearly! Those Five Heavenly Emperors are not just phantoms! They have a real consciousness descending from them!
No matter how powerful this strange magical artifact was, the Ancient One would never dare to covet it. Not only was it clearly incompatible with her personality, but she also had no such intention in the first place.
She just sensed the emergence of a rare treasure, so she joined in the fun and also checked if any foolish dimensional demons would come looking for trouble. She planned to teach them a lesson then and maybe even borrow some money... well, the kind she wouldn't have to pay back.
Unfortunately, Li Muyang and his ilk, lacking any sense of propriety, appeared out to kill and steal treasure, resulting in their own failed attempt to retaliate and establish their authority. Gu Yi's attempt to deceive the dimensional demons also failed. After all, one such loss is enough; to suffer it repeatedly? Are you stupid? How can you be so greedy?
As Li Muyang landed on his cruise ship, the others came to their senses and noticed that the original location of Nathan Island had been transformed into a vast ocean, and the island had completely disappeared.
After landing on the cruise ship, Li Muyang told his family that he was safe and sound, and then instantly appeared on the ship where King Nathan and the others were.
"As agreed, I've come to escort them back." As Li Muyang spoke, he made a sword-finger gesture with one hand, drawing a stream of light that flew out and transformed into three figures.
It was Nathan, Mochizuki Satoru, Guna Otlind, and Erica Jokina, who had been killed by Behemoth earlier.
"Welcome home, and... thank you." Nathan Wang bowed respectfully with her eyes closed. To be honest, she was feeling very complicated and didn't know how to face Li Muyang.
At this moment, she understood that the divine tree had made its own choice, voluntarily becoming part of the materials for Li Muyang to repair this divine artifact. For this, it even went so far as to discard all its impurities! These were the sacrifices made by King Nathan, the Guards, and the Challengers over the years.
Only the purest part remained, which was then integrated into the Kongtong Seal and became part of it!
In other words, it was the divine tree that abandoned its believers after seeing the Kongtong Seal!
Just like some people with weak minds who were attracted and corrupted by the Divine Tree, the Divine Tree was also attracted when it saw the Kongtong Seal. This is because the Divine Tree itself is just a pseudo-half-belief god in the Dharma-ending Age, barely surviving. The significance of the Kongtong Seal, a treasure of humanity, to it is equivalent to that of the Divine Tree to those magicians.
Ultimately, these believers held a firm belief in sacrificing themselves to preserve the sacred tree, but the sacred tree did not sacrifice itself to preserve their firm belief, because... it was just a tree.
The concepts of trees and people are different.
In the eyes of the divine tree, merging with the Kongtong Seal and becoming a part of it was like hooking up with a tycoon, allowing it to rise to prominence overnight!
Furthermore, since the Divine Tree has completely abandoned its followers, King Nathan is no longer bound by the Divine Tree's ideology. Perhaps she is indeed loyal to the Divine Tree, but she is more or less influenced by the power of the Divine Tree. Now that the Divine Tree has made its own choice, even if King Nathan is unwilling, she will not object.
Li Muyang didn't talk much with King Nathan, but instead looked at Elijah, who seemed isolated, and said, "I kept my promise, but how do you feel now?"
Elijah chuckled wistfully, "Heh... It's hard to describe the feeling, both relieved and confused... But overall, I'm still very grateful to you, after all, our opinions aren't really important to you."
Li Muyang shook his head: "Whether it's important or not is not up to you, but up to me. I think it's important, after all, I'm not an unreasonable person."
"Just like I promised Behemoth and the others, I said I wouldn't sabotage their operations, and I would only act when their operations failed. That certainly didn't break the agreement, right?"
The people on Nathan Island were speechless, while a group of people who had a grudge against Behemoth were clutching their stomachs and laughing mercilessly. Hmm, I think their name is something like "Debt Collectors"? Not a bad name.
They are basically all victims of the various troubles caused by Behemoth, including the people of Nathan Island this time. Although Li Muyang refined the entire Nathan Island and the Divine Tree, it was the will of the Divine Tree itself. So what if Nathan Island is gone? The people of Nathan Island should go out and see the world.
Perhaps the sacred tree also has this wish?
Who knows? It's a tree!
