SWDnovel Chapter 23 Intercepting Rahu
Chapter 23 Intercepting Rahu
"Interesting." Zu Long's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"The power of my dragon clan was contained within that restriction, and I sensed it the moment it was broken."
"To be able to break through the restrictions we've jointly set up, you do have some skill."
He pondered for a moment, but instead of getting angry, he revealed a slight smile.
The malevolent energy within the seal was a persistent problem. The malevolent energy of the ferocious beast clan was too violent to be purified, so it had to be sealed away.
But that seal was not a long-term solution; after countless years, the seal would eventually loosen.
If that evil energy leaks out at that time, it will be another troublesome matter.
Now that someone has solved this problem for him, he is overjoyed and would not be angry at all.
"Never mind." Zu Long smiled faintly. "Whoever broke that seal will have done me a favor."
With that malevolent energy purified, I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Let him be."
The First Emperor sat back on his throne and closed his eyes.
In the Southern Ming Fire Realm, atop the Wutong Divine Tree.
Yuan Feng sat atop the treetop, flames raging around him, his phoenix eyes gleaming with wisdom.
She sensed it the moment the seal was broken; the power of the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Flame was something she had personally laid out.
"The restriction is broken?" Yuan Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes. "That restriction contains the power of my Phoenix Clan. There aren't many people who can break it."
She pondered for a moment, but showed no anger; instead, she revealed a hint of relief.
The malevolent energy within that seal is indeed a hidden danger.
The malevolent aura of the ferocious beast clan is too violent. Although it has been sealed for countless years, there is still no sign of it dissipating.
Sometimes she would worry that if something went wrong with the seal, and the evil energy leaked out, it might trigger another great calamity.
Now that the seal has been broken and the evil energy has been purified, she actually felt relieved.
"This saved me a lot of trouble," Yuan Feng murmured to herself, a hint of appreciation flashing in her phoenix eyes. "Whoever did it, it's a good thing for the prehistoric world."
She closed her eyes and continued to comprehend the Dao. The breaking of the seal was like the wind blowing across water; once the ripples subsided, there was no trace left.
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, on Qilin Cliff.
The First Qilin sat atop the cliff, radiating an imposing aura as heavy as a mountain.
He sensed it the moment the seal was broken; the earth power of the Qilin clan was something he had personally laid out.
"The restriction is broken?" The voice of the First Qilin was as steady as the earth, with a hint of contemplation. "That restriction contained the power of my Qilin clan. Whoever could break it must be quite strong."
He remained silent for a moment, but made no move, only nodding slightly.
The malevolent energy within that seal is indeed a problem.
The malevolent aura of the ferocious beast clan was incompatible with the earth power of the Qilin clan. When he set up the seal, he felt that this was not a long-term solution.
Now that the seal has been broken and the evil energy has been purified, a long-standing worry has been put to rest.
"Very well." Shi Qilin smiled faintly. "With that malevolent energy purified, I have one less thing to worry about."
He closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
The breaking of the seal was like a gust of wind in the mountains; once it passed, it left no trace.
In another corner of the primordial wilderness, in a secluded cave...
A man dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged, exuding a sharp and violent aura.
In front of him, four long swords floated in the air, their blades radiating a soaring killing intent and malevolent aura, as if they were about to devour all living beings.
Those four swords were none other than the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Immortal Trapping Sword, and the Immortal Annihilation Sword.
This man in black robes was none other than Rahu.
He sensed it the moment the seal was broken.
Unlike other powerful beings, his reaction was not one of relief, but rather one of fury.
"The restriction... has been broken?!"
Luo Hou suddenly opened his eyes, a violent glint flashing in his dark pupils.
His face was terribly gloomy, and his aura became sharp. The four Immortal Execution Swords seemed to sense their master's anger, and they trembled and emitted a sharp buzzing sound.
He had been planning that seal for countless years.
Unlike other powerful beings, Rahu did not wish for the seal to exist forever.
Those malevolent energies were the best resource for him.
His Four Swords of Immortal Execution require endless baleful energy to forge in order to unleash their full power.
The ferocious beast's malevolent aura within the seal was precisely the target he had long coveted.
He has been preparing since these plenary sessions.
He studied every detail of the restriction and deduced the operating rules of each force.
He even secretly left a hidden door on the restriction, a hidden door that would allow him to pass through the restriction silently without alerting other powerful beings.
His plan was simple: pass through the restrictions, enter the sealed land, and use the evil energy there to forge the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.
At the same time, the seal was broken, releasing the evil energy into the world.
The pervasive malevolent energy will inevitably intensify the conflict between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
The fiercer the battle between the three races, the stronger the murderous aura of the primordial world becomes, and the more powerful his Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter become.
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
He had prepared for countless years, rehearsed countless times, and after confirming that everything was foolproof, he was ready to take action.
But someone else snatched it away.
"Who is it?!" Rahu's voice was deep and cold, like ice from the depths of the underworld.
He suddenly stood up, the four Immortal Execution Swords swirling around him, the killing intent on the swords almost solidifying into a tangible form.
He closed his eyes and began to calculate.
With his cultivation level and understanding of the restriction, he could deduce the identity of anyone who broke the restriction.
There was a hidden door he left behind within that restriction; as long as you follow that connection, you can trace back to the source.
however--
A moment later, Rahu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Cannot be predicted?"
His voice carried a hint of shock.
He could clearly sense that the restriction had been broken and that the evil energy had been absorbed, but he couldn't figure out who had done it.
The secrets of the one who broke the seal seemed to be obscured by an invisible barrier; no matter how he calculated, he could only see chaos.
"Impossible!" Luo Hou roared, closed his eyes again, and exerted all his strength to try to break through that barrier.
Time passed slowly.
Luo Hou's expression grew increasingly grim.
He could sense that the barrier was extremely ancient and powerful, as if it came from the beginning of time.
Within that barrier lay a power that made even him feel a chill.
That's... the aura of Pangu?
Luo Hou suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Pangu? Pangu has long since transformed into all things and perished countless years ago.
How could his aura appear here? Unless... the person who broke the seal is related to Pangu?
Luo Hou's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He stood in the cave, four Immortal Execution Swords swirling around him, the killing intent on the swords growing stronger and stronger.
His plan, which he had meticulously crafted for countless years, was thus thwarted by someone else.
Those malevolent energies were the key to his forging of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
Without that malevolent energy, the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian could not reach its peak.
After the seal was broken, the evil energy was completely absorbed, leaving not a trace behind.
All his years of preparation went to waste.
"No matter who you are..." Rahu's voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the deepest abyss, "You've ruined my plans. We'll settle this score sooner or later."
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and sat down cross-legged again.
The four Immortal Execution Swords gradually quieted down, hovering around him, their killing intent diminishing somewhat.
But a dangerous glint flashed in those dark eyes.
Luo Hou knew that the person who broke the seal was no ordinary person, since he was able to break the seal set up by the powerful figures and conceal the secrets of heaven that he could not predict.
When did such a figure appear in the primordial world?
He must find out the truth.
But he could only wait until the truth was found out.
Rahu closed his eyes, burying his anger deep in his heart.
His plan cannot be abandoned because of this failure.
Although those malevolent energies were intercepted, there are still many more malevolent energies in the primordial world that can be utilized.
The war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans continues.
As long as the three races continue to fight, the killing intent between heaven and earth will never cease.
His Four Swords of Immortal Execution still have a chance.
