Chapter 779: Digging a Pit [Four more updates]_1
The eight dark golden God's Pillars, moved by Chu Yuan, caused the prohibition existing in this vacuum to crumble loudly.
The long-sealed prohibition was opened, and a powerful and terrifying force rose from the tomb.
"Finally moved away, I'm free!"
The Eastern Pole Universe God expressed his excitement.
But as he was about to make a move, Chu Yuan suddenly said, "This Heavenly Hand Formation should have nine pillars. Its inherent nature could have killed you, but the absence of one pillar allowed you to survive till now."
"You figured it out?"
The Eastern Pole Universe God was slightly surprised, but then laughed: "Haha, that's not the main point. Kid, you've freed me. I won't treat you badly. I've roamed the starry sky for countless years. Now, I'll pass on my inheritance to you, but it comes with a price!"
He surged from a tomb.
His state was indeed a soul, but unlike what he claimed, it wasn't weak. Instead, his soul power was immense, like a brilliant divine sun!
"The fact that I released you indeed requires something from you."
Chu Yuan looked at the Eastern Pole Universe God and said faintly.
"I fooled Bai Yuan for so long, but he never released me. I thank you. Without you, I couldn't have emerged from the Heavenly Hand Formation. Even if Universe Gods live as long as the world, being trapped in a tomb is unbearable!"
The Eastern Pole Universe God, being isolated for a long time, had begun to speak more, venting his frustrations.
"In exchange, old ancestor won't kill you. You can stay by my side as a loyal dog and serve as my servant. It happens that I need someone to do things for me upon my return. Naturally, I will give the inheritance you want!"
The Eastern Pole Universe God's soul will exploded, his soul hand reaching directly for Chu Yuan.
Boom!
However, just as the Eastern Pole Universe God's force was about to reach Chu Yuan, a portal appeared behind him, transforming the Heavenly Hand Formation into a boundless array.
The Sealing Gate!
Chu Yuan had never trusted the words of the Eastern Pole Universe God. He had seen through the existence within the tomb long ago and had only released him to take the Universe God's treasure while also wiping out his remnant soul.
And now, the moment the Eastern Pole Universe God appeared, he fell into his Seal Gate's domain.
"You had a backup plan!"
The Eastern Pole Universe God was shocked, but then dismissed it nonchalantly.
Although his physical body had long been destroyed with his miniature universe, his soul remained incredibly powerful, possessing a world-changing force that was not to be ridiculed.
A burst of light illuminated the eternal!
The Eastern Pole Universe God's giant hand tried to shake the Seal Gate.
To his utter disbelief, the gate did not even ripple from his force as if it wasn't something a soul could sway.
"So this is your backup plan? It truly isn't deceitful."
The Eastern Pole Universe God also found things becoming difficult, realizing that the other party dared to let him take action because he had prepared a backup plan.
"Trapped inside the Heavenly Hand Formation making arrogant remarks before me, you thought the treasure relied on you to give it? Instead, I'll take it myself."
Chu Yuan stood lofty in the sky, controlling the Seal Gate. His expression was indifferent as he struck out. Boundless thunderbolts exploded in his palm, followed by devastating sealing power that swept down like raging dragons.
Suddenly, the Eastern Pole Universe God encountered numerous attacks, resulting in defensive forces erupting from his remnant soul.
"You deliberately lured me out with that trap!"
The Eastern Pole Universe God's face drastically changed. Chu Yuan's tactics threatened him.
However, he didn't fear. Finally freed, he wouldn't just keel over here so easily. Immediately, he exerted a massive force to perform a cosmic secret technique, creating a condensed illusory miniature universe for attack.
Though his truly cultivated universe had shattered, this was one he'd created using his Divine Abilities.
Even then, its power remained formidable.
"Twilight of the Gods."
Chu Yuan carried the power of the Twilight of the Gods. As the terminator of the gods, the lonely power of twilight enveloped the Eastern Pole Universe God's soul.
"No good, what power is this?"
The Eastern Pole Universe God was shocked.
The power of the Twilight of the Gods caused his soul to rapidly decay, engulfing his entire soul with a scent of decay.
While a Universe God truly lives as long as the world, the disintegration of a soul also meant death.
"Primordial Rune!"
Boom! He launched a powerful counterattack. Focusing his two hands, a rune appeared, inscribed with countless ancient texts. Each text resembled twisted golden patterns, releasing beams of eternal light.
Using the rune, he attacked the Seal Gate, attempting to break Chu Yuan's seal.
Chu Yuan was fearless. If he thought he could escape from him with just a soul after losing even his most powerful miniature universe, that was an utterly absurd tale, an impossibility.
Chu Yuan struck out. The Great Destruction Technique detonated on him, then picked up the blood-stained spear, slashing at his soul body.
What was once a brilliant soul body was suddenly infused with a cursed aura. A sky full of black energy surged into the air, causing the Eastern Pole Universe God to let out a scream, "Ah, dammit! You actually control such evil power, it'll backfire on you. That's a cursed artifact!"
He trembled and began to retreat, aiming to re-enter the tomb.
The ancient temple inside the tomb was built by him. It was because of this temple that the Universe God of the past had sealed him.
Gate of the Heavens, Hand of the Heavens.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Chu Yuan sealed the Eastern Pole Universe God within this area, after which, his Heavenly Hand reached out.
The entire soul body of the Eastern Pole Universe God trembled as he felt an irresistible force. He tried desperately to escape but was instantly firmly gripped by the massive hand, brought forth in front of Chu Yuan.
"What are you trying to do!"
Looking at this Supreme Being, the Eastern Pole Universe God shouted, "I can give you all the treasures you want, but you have to let me go. There are prohibitions I've laid out inside the ancient temple, without me, you can't break them. Moreover, if you force me into a corner, driving me to soul obliteration, I will make you suffer!"
He was threatening Chu Yuan, desperate for the slimmest of chances for survival.
He was coexistent with heaven and earth, and didn't want to die. Even with only a remnant soul left, he was clinging onto life.
"Do you have the qualifications to threaten me?" Chu Yuan spoke indifferently.
"This..."
The Eastern Pole Universe God paused, then roared, "You can't possibly wish to enslave my soul, can you? No...impossible. I'm coexistent with the universe, sharing its glory, I can never submit to you. Plus, I know the Cosmic Sea very well. If you collaborate with me, you'll reap greater benefits."
But Chu Yuan didn't give him the chance to speak any further.
Should his words be trusted?
Chu Yuan had already achieved his purpose. His Heavenly Hand squeezed fiercely.
Initially, the Eastern Pole Universe God, out of desperation, had wanted to fight him. But, his soul body was infused with the Great Sealing Technique. He couldn't even carry out the final self-destruction and could only have his remaining will obliterated by Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan gestured his hand to condense.
A man's head-sized orb of light, resembling an artificial sun, slowly rose. It was incredibly bright, and it was the soul origin of the Eastern Pole Universe God.
