Reverse War Surpass Immortal

The deep voice replied, "The people of Ziwei Divine Sect are worried that the Sealing Array here will fail, allowing the Ice Corpse to escape. For safety's sake, the final challenge is for you challengers to eliminate that Ice Corpse. If you fail to eliminate it, the Second Layer Sealing here will activate! Once it does, all you challengers will be sealed here along with the Ice Corpse!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

The Taihuang Immortal Sect disciple of the Martial Saint Eighth Layer shouted to everyone present, "Ladies and gentlemen, we had some misunderstandings before, but I ask you all to set aside past grievances. I believe none of you want to be trapped here permanently, so I hope that everyone will focus on eliminating that Ice Corpse later on. No internal conflicts allowed!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately understood that the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciple's shout was directed at him.

"It seems that person intends to make a move against us after we get out."

He thought it over and guessed the person's intentions.

Since the other party is determined to wait until after they leave to take action, Duan Gujin figured that person would restrain themselves for now.

Of course, he knew he should still be cautious of the people from Taihuang Immortal Sect.

Thus, he gathered with Qing Lian and other sect disciples.

Disciples from the other two sects did not oppose their approach, thinking the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciple merely wanted to seize the top reward from them.

Such things were not uncommon to them.

Had it been them, if their strength surpassed Duan Gujin and Qing Lian's, they might have done the same as the Taihuang Immortal Sect disciple earlier and directly taken Duan Gujin's treasure.

In their eyes, Duan Gujin appeared to be a hidden expert. Several among them were also Masters of the Martial Saint Realm. However, when dealing with the Ice Corpse before, even after expending a lot of Primordial Power, they could only eliminate a little more than ten or twenty Ice Corpses within two hours, unlike the first place in this instance, who eliminated two hundred within two hours.

This was beyond their imagination.

Moreover, the owner here previously warned them against taking action, or those who did would be trapped here permanently. Naturally, the two Major Sects did not want to clash with Duan Gujin.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, they heard rapid explosions echoing from the Void.

Following the sound, they saw peculiar lights flashing on a circular building.

The group deduced that the owner here was likely lifting the seal, causing immediate tension and heightened alertness.

Duan Gujin took the opportunity to extend his Divine Sense, surveying his surroundings.

After a while, he understood that the deep voice was not lying.

"This place indeed has a Second Level Sealing! I understand why those from the Ziwei Divine Sect did this!"

He speculated that the Ice Corpse, trapped by the Ziwei Divine Sect, was immensely powerful and would not die even after being sealed for a thousand years.

Once the First Seal here failed, the Ice Corpse would escape.

As to why the Ziwei Divine Sect did not use both the First and Second Sealing on the Ice Corpse, Duan Gujin deduced that the seals might conflict or share the same nature, making it impossible to overlap and forcing them to apply sequentially.

In some situations, only by lifting the First Seal could the Second be applied.

Rumbling sounds soon spread throughout the hall; everyone quickly covered their ears to block out the noise.

Soon after, massive cracks appeared on the circular building in front.

They immediately distanced themselves from the cracks, readying for battle, fearing the Ice Corpse might suddenly burst out.

A moment later, a large fissure, enough to fit a person, appeared on the circular building.

An aura of Yin Cold seeped from the fissure, chilling everyone to the bone as if they had plunged into an ice cave.

Cold sweat formed on many backs, and some speculated that the Ice Corpse inside might still live.

If it had expired long ago, there would be no Yin Cold Aura inside.

"Prepare for battle, that Ice Corpse might still be alive!"

The deep voice repeated.

Hearing this, everyone fixed their gaze on the large fissure ahead, ready to act should the Ice Corpse leap out.

Time ticked by slowly.

Soon, the fissure widened even more.

With crackling sounds, the center of the circular building completely split open, and a surge of Yin Cold Aura gushed from the massive fissure, dropping the surrounding temperature by dozens of degrees.

"It's so cold!"

The martial artists present immediately felt their hair stand on end and goosebumps rise all over.

The colder the hall became, the more likely it suggested that the sealed Ice Corpse might still be alive.

With this thought, everyone retreated over ten meters, not daring to approach the circular building too closely.

Even with their Divine Sense extended, they couldn't probe the interior of the circular building, causing them significant frustration.

"I have lifted all the seals; it's up to you now. Act quickly; don't let the Ice Corpse recover below! You must know it's been sealed for a long time, making now its weakest moment. If you hesitate, you'll miss the best chance to act! If you don't act immediately, I'll initiate the Second Layer Sealing!"

The deep voice threatened.

They glanced at each other hesitantly.

Seeing the hesitation, Duan Gujin took a deep breath, waved his right hand, and a Void Palm rapidly formed before him.

A moment later, the Void Palm let out a rapid buzzing as it hurtled toward the circular building ahead.

He believed the voice's owner and knew that when encountering Demons sealed for countless years, he had to act immediately, not allowing them a chance to retaliate.

With a crash, several bricks from the circular building shattered into dust.

Duan Gujin waved his right hand again, unleashing countless more Void Palms to shatter the green stones on the circular building.

Nearby martial artists followed his lead, launching attacks alongside him to break apart the bricks covering the Ice Corpse.
