Chapter 616: Half-Imprint of the Word, Suppressing the Immortal
Chapter 616: Half-Imprint of the Word, Suppressing the Immortal
At this moment, amidst the appearance of auspicious clouds and the profound silence, Hu Ma's deep shout startled everyone nearby.
They all turned their heads simultaneously, only to see a figure in black cloth robes with a smiling mask on his face, swiftly climbing onto the roof of the Yan Family Mansion amidst the rolling auspicious clouds.
His body emanated a soul light, revealing a green-faced fanged, ferocious Dharmic Form with four arms, enveloped in swirling evil Qi. He looked utterly malevolent.
In one hand, he held a Punishment Official Saber brimming with killing Qi, while in the other, he gripped a white seal, hovering in the air above the roof, stepping directly into the cloud and reaching out to grasp at Yan Laotai, who was surrounded by ethereal immortal Qi.
"Light form, light Qi, the posture of an immortal..."
"I am an immortal, transcending the Three Realms, beyond the Five Elements. You mortals, why not bow and receive the immortal providence?"
As Hu Ma stepped into the auspicious clouds, Yan Laotai, within the clouds, seemed to finally sense his presence. High above, he looked down with a serene and joyful expression.
Without speaking, a voice resonated in Hu Ma's heart, striking his divine soul. It carried an air of superiority, a sense of looking down upon all mortals with disdain and even pity.
In this hazy state, Hu Ma felt as if he truly saw Yan Laotai reaching out to bestow the immortal providence upon him.
At that moment, his body and mind began to lighten. Rather than feeling like he was rushing into the clouds, it was as if the clouds were drawing him in, ready to dissolve him completely.
His physical strength, the killing Qi on his saber, his cultivation, and his thoughts all faded away, leaving only a blank, joyful feeling in his heart. He willingly submitted to the immortals led by Yan Family Patriarch, eagerly accepting the immortal providence bestowed upon him.
"Immortal your grandpa..."
Just as he was about to succumb to this blank joy, his Life Spirit Shrine trembled, barely protecting his spiritual awareness. Then, he raised his left hand high, holding up the Heavenly Emperor's Wordless Seal.
In an instant, the endless chaotic noises subsided, and the Dharmic Form solidified, becoming as real as an entity. The left arm of the four-armed figure was raised high, and in its palm was the seal, growing increasingly heavy.
The originally blank seal now glowed with golden light, and brushstrokes formed heavy seal script characters.
Majestic and awe-inspiring, the golden threads and silver hooks of the characters conveyed a weighty aura, causing the four directions and the heavens to tremble:
"Mandate from Heaven!"
...
...
"Shua!"
Upon seeing the seal, Yan Laotai, who had a transcendent and detached expression, high above and untouched by worldly affairs, suddenly changed. Even the ethereal clouds seemed to lighten.
As the first character appeared on the seal, the rolling auspicious clouds and ethereal Qi around Hu Ma suddenly solidified, and their attraction to Guazhou City and Hu Ma, who was closest to the clouds, inexplicably vanished.
The clouds, which had been growing lighter, along with Guazhou, also stopped changing. The floating immortal music in the air ceased abruptly, leaving only a gentle breeze in the heavens and earth.
Then, a second character, 'Life', appeared on the seal.
With this character, the people in the clouds, who had subtle expressions of joy, suddenly woke up. Their immortal aura faded, replaced by fear, unwillingness, and venomous resentment.
At this moment, Hu Ma raised the seal even higher, and a third character, 'at', appeared.
The clouds continued to change; initially ethereal, they transformed the night into day. Every wisp of cloud was pure and bright.
But then, within the white clouds, rolling black Qi emerged, dark and sinister, filled with malevolent Qi. The immortals in the clouds began to rot, their faces decaying, emitting a putrid stench. They wailed and wandered like a dance of demons.
Then, a fourth character, 'Heaven', appeared on the seal.
These four characters occupied only half of the seal, leaving the rest blank, yet their weight was already indescribable.
The ethereal immortal Qi was light, but it needed something as heavy as these characters to suppress it.
And so, this ordinary Wordless Seal suddenly seemed to gain infinite weight, affecting its surroundings.
The so-called auspicious clouds and ascending immortals let out mournful wails, shrinking and curling in mid-air. Even Hu Ma, who held the seal high, felt an immense weight, as if it were crushing him.
"This is the true essence of the Great Heavenly Emperor Seal?"
"No wonder this New Year's Entrance method is named after a seal..."
"The ultimate goal of this cultivation method is to bear this seal..."
...
...
The seal now bore only four characters, but its weight was already indescribable. Hu Ma felt his Dharmic Form solidify like never before under this weight, reaching perfection effortlessly.
The third door of the mansion swung open with a thunderous boom.
However, the impact of opening this third door paled in comparison to the sensation that followed.
"Huala..."
As the large seal was lifted, the air was filled with rolling waves of eerie, dark energy, causing the ethereal immortal aura that had just been present to dissipate without a trace.
The vengeful evil spirits and stone beast pillars that had been drawn upwards also seemed to suddenly gain weight, falling from the sky one by one. They crashed down on the wandering ghost enforcers below, who covered their heads and fled in all directions, cursing as they went.
"Destroying my path to immortality, you deserve ten thousand deaths..."
In the air, led by Yan Laotai, the foul and rotten evil spirits and malevolent ghosts no longer cared about their high position among the clouds. Their faces were filled with vengeful resentment, and they rushed towards Hu Ma, who held the seal, as if in an eternal battle.
"Hmph!"
At that moment, the three doors of the mansion opened, and Hu Ma, holding the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, clenched his teeth. His Dharmic Form sprouted four arms, one holding the seal, and he forcefully pressed it downward.
The air instantly filled with the sound of crushing and shattering. The faces that had rushed towards him, along with the cloud energy that seemed to have a life of its own, were all compressed and subdued by the heavy weight of the seal, scattering and shattering in front of Hu Ma.
Holding the Heavenly Emperor's General Seal in one hand and a sword in the other, Hu Ma exuded a menacing aura. The sky was filled with wailing spirits, but they dared not approach, and even the dark clouds quickly dispersed.
In the next moment, with his other two hands, one of which had been holding a General's Order, Hu Ma reached out and grabbed Yan Laotai, who was wailing in agony.
He pinned him down with two hands and stepped on him with one foot.
"Grandfather, spare my life..."
Yan Laotai pleaded for mercy, but the green-faced fangs of his Dharmic Form showed no mercy. Without a hint of compassion, he smiled coldly, raised the Punishment Official Saber in his hand, and with a murderous gaze, brought it down heavily.
"Yan Laotai, it's time for you to depart!"
"..."
"Hiss!"
Whether it was the reincarnator below, the Guazhou citizens trapped inside the Yan Family Mansion, the martial artists and guests in the alley, or even Miss White Wine at the front gate of the mansion and Miss Red Wine at the entrance to the Governor of Guazhou Temple, they were all too far away to see clearly what Hu Ma had done. They couldn't even see the Heavenly Emperor's Seal he held in his hand when he summoned his Dharmic Form.
All they witnessed was Yan Laotai's ascension in broad daylight, covering the entire city. They felt the ethereal immortal aura that captivated their souls, and even with their abilities, they found themselves dazed and confused.
Amidst the ethereal aura and auspicious clouds, the originally unremarkable wandering ghost swordswoman suddenly charged into the clouds, grabbed Yan Laotai from his high position, and with a loud shout, raised her sword.
In the next moment, Yan Laotai's head rolled to the ground.
The sky was filled with scattering auspicious clouds, and the darkness that had enveloped the city returned.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the weight returned to its original place, and the entire Guazhou City shook. Buildings collapsed, pillars toppled, and the entire city seemed to jump in response to the sound, waking up countless dazed people.
"Ah..."
Yan Laotai, who had been in front of the Yan Family Mansion, had just finished conferring titles to various marshals, reaching the twenty-eighth one, when he suddenly woke up. "My imperial throne..."
He opened his eyes in a daze, looking at the chaotic scene before him, and burst into tears, his blood and tears flowing together.
The citizens who had been bowing and shouting long live the emperor were also startled awake, looking at each other in embarrassment, not knowing what had happened.
At the center of the Yan Family Mansion, the entire Guazhou City, the ghosts, spirits, and monsters, along with the living beings and demons, all opened their eyes at the loud sound. They found themselves surrounded by the mess that had fallen to the ground.
"What the hell..."
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Damn..."
"..."
As the weight returned to Guazhou and the entire city shook like an earthquake, the various masters in the area were affected even more than the city itself.
"What the fuck is this?"
"The Heavenly Trigrams have been reversed!"
The old abacus in the front courtyard, Miss White Wine in the outer alley, Miss Red Wine at the entrance, and the wandering ghost enforcers scattered throughout the Yan Family Mansion, all stared wide-eyed, some even forgetting to speak.
Monkey Wine, who was in front of the Yan Family Mansion, furrowed his brows, retracted his foot, and sighed softly, "What a waste."
At the entrance to the Governor of Guazhou Temple, Shen Shou Zhao and Curse Chen, their eyes wide, had kicked over the Governor's palanquin, their voices distorted with disbelief, "Is this some kind of joke?"
"But he had already ascended..."
"How could the executioner from the Pacifying Evil Office still pull someone down and cut them?"
