The entire Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley is filled with a heavy and mysterious atmosphere. Everyone knows that the upcoming ritual is of great importance, and any slight mistake could lead to serious consequences.
The ritual takes place on a circular altar surrounded by ancient stone pillars. Lan Lao instructs everyone to place the collected Sky Ice Flower, spirit mist resin, and other sacrificial items in specific positions on the altar according to a particular form and order.
Chu Yun and Chu Feng stood on either side of the altar, each holding their own magical instrument, silently reciting purification spells in their hearts. Lan Lao stood in the center of the altar, holding a staff carved with ancient runes, and began chanting powerful sealing incantations in a low voice.
As the incantations were recited, the magical instruments and materials on the altar began to emit a dazzling light, and powerful energy fluctuations formed a rotating energy sphere at the center of the altar. The energy sphere gradually expanded, flashing with the light of thunder and ice within, and the collision of these two forces generated a massive energy field, causing the air in the entire Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley to seem to tremble.
Chu Yun felt a strong pressure coming from the center of the altar, and her face showed a focused and determined expression. At this moment, her Sky Thunder Sword emitted a dazzling blue light, resonating with the energy ball on the altar. Chu Feng stood by, using his own power to stabilize the surrounding environment, ensuring the safety of the ritual.
Lan Lao's voice grew louder, and the incantations became faster and more intense. Suddenly, the center of the altar roared, and a strong beam of light shot straight into the sky from the center of the energy ball, piercing through the gathering black clouds, as if to completely disperse them.
As the light pillar split the sky, attempting to disperse the thick black clouds shrouding the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley, a sudden counterflow formed, seemingly absorbing the power of the light pillar with an even stronger dark force, even rebounding it. The entire altar shook, and everyone could feel a heavy oppression coming from deep underground.
Lan Lao's expression changed, his incantation became more urgent, and his hands quickly drew runes in the air, trying to reinforce the power of the light pillar. But no matter how strong his efforts were, the black clouds, as if having their own consciousness, continued to devour the radiance from the altar.
Chu Yun stood on one side of the altar, tightly gripping the Sky Thunder Sword, her brows furrowed with an unknown anxiety rising in her heart. "These dark clouds seem to be manipulated by some unknown force, our power is being weakened."
Upon hearing Chu Yun's words, Lan Lao also sensed the same fact, "This is not just natural polluted air, there may be a more sinister force manipulating it from behind. We need to find rarer and more powerful treasures, otherwise this purification will not succeed."
After hearing this, in a moment of desperation, Chu Yun took out the blood orchid obtained six years ago in the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley due to an accident involving Lei Ling.
She carefully took out the blood orchid from her bosom, and this rare flower emitted a faint blue light in her palm, with each petal sparkling like stars in the night sky.
Chu Yun knew the value of this flower and understood that once used, her future path of cultivation would become even more difficult. But in the face of the imminent crisis, she did not hesitate.
This blood orchid has azure petals, each shining with star-like spots, and its stamen emits a faint golden light, beautiful yet eerie.
Chu Yun has made rapid progress in cultivation in recent years by consuming two petals of blood orchid, reaching the mid-stage of the Infant Formation Realm, and being considered a cultivation prodigy with astonishing speed for their age.
Now there are only three petals left. Although this flower holds great significance in Chu Yun's heart, as it was left to her by Lei Ling, facing the unsuccessful seal, Chu Yun decisively decides to use the remaining power of the blood orchid.
"Lan Lao, I intend to use the power of the blood orchid," Chu Yun's voice is firm and somewhat resolute as she hands the flower to Lan Lao. "Please guide me on how to make the most effective use of it."
She carefully took out the last three petals, took a deep breath, and said to Lan Lao, "Using these blood orchids may enhance the power of the seal."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lan Lao's eyes, then turned into deep respect. He took the blood orchids, carefully observed them for a moment, and nodded, "The blood orchids are rich in powerful life force and spirituality. Using it can indeed provide immense energy for the seal. We need to place it at the center of the altar to fully unleash its power."
In the center of the altar, Chu Yun placed the blood orchid into a small altar made of ancient runes with her own hands, then stepped back and began silently reciting an incantation.
Lan Lao and Chu Feng stood beside her, also chanting supporting incantations. The power of the three gradually converged, forming a powerful energy field.
As the petals of the flower integrate, the energy ball instantly bursts into a more dazzling light, and a stronger energy wave quickly spreads throughout the entire valley. Cracks begin to appear in the dark clouds in the sky, and beams of light penetrate through the clouds, gradually dispersing the darkness.
Chu Yun stands in front of the altar, raising the Sky Thunder Sword high above her head, the blade shimmering in resonance with the blood orchid petals. She begins to chant the final sealing incantation, with each word filled with power and determination.
As the incantation deepened, the blood orchid began to slowly bloom. The light spots on each petal became brighter, and the golden light in the stamen became more dazzling. Suddenly, an immensely powerful energy burst from the stamen, merging with the energy on the entire altar to form a huge ball of light, where thunder and lightning intertwined with an icy and snowy mist.
Chu Yun felt a strong feedback from the blood orchid, and her body could barely withstand such energy. But at this critical moment, her will was as firm as iron. She knew she could not retreat, as the fate of the entire valley rested on her shoulders.
"Hold on, Chu Yun!" Lan Lao's voice rang in her ears, encouraging and empowering Chu Yun to find the courage to continue moving forward.
