SWNOVELXO Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Seal Reinforcement
After defeating the chaotic behemoth, Lin Yu successfully obtained the Heart of Chaos. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, and each breath carried the thrilling aftermath of the battle, as if the breath was also mixed with the roar of the behemoth before its death and the roar of the chaotic power. Sweat poured down like a torrential flood, soaking his clothes, and the sweat-soaked fabric clung tightly to his scarred body. The hideous wounds seemed to tell the horror of the battle. His messy hair was randomly stuck to his dusty and blood-stained cheeks, looking extremely embarrassed, and there was still some black mucus splashed on his face during the fight with the behemoth, giving off a pungent fishy smell. But his eyes were full of determination and joy, which was the light of achieving the result after going through hardships. It pierced through the fatigue and pain, like a bright lamp lit in the dark, illuminating his way forward.
He slowly stretched out his hands. His hands were slightly trembling from the long and fierce battle with the chaotic behemoth. The joints were purple, and each finger seemed to be so stiff that it couldn't move freely. There was still some blood left, and the dried blood scabs were attached to the fingers. But he was also with an unquestionable caution. He carefully held the Heart of Chaos in his hands in an almost pious gesture. The moment he touched the Heart of Chaos, a powerful and mysterious force, like a surging undercurrent, quickly spread throughout his body along his palm. This force seemed to be the chaotic origin at the beginning of the universe, carrying endless vastness and mystery, with a primitive and ancient atmosphere, as if it was going to draw his soul into the endless chaotic vortex, making Lin Yu's soul tremble. His consciousness seemed to be drawn into an endless time-space tunnel, and countless blurred lights and shadows flashed before his eyes. There were the birth and destruction of the universe's stars, and the rise and fall of ancient civilizations. These scenes had an unprecedented impact on his perception of the world. At this moment, his heart was full of joy and pride. After going through countless hardships and hovering on the verge of death many times, he finally got what he wanted. However, he also clearly knew that the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was far from over. A more difficult challenge was waiting for him like a behemoth in the dark, and the unknown danger made his heart beat a little faster.
Lin Yu didn't dare to delay at all. With a light tap of his feet, the spiritual power all over his body surged like a surging tide, and instantly turned into a bright streamer, speeding towards the sealing place. Along the way, the strong wind whistled shrilly in his ears, as if lamenting his difficult journey, or cheering him on. There seemed to be some mysterious whispers in the wind, like calls from ancient times, or warnings of the challenges he was about to face. The mountains and rivers flashed by like phantoms in his eyes. The continuous mountains turned into blurred ink lines, flashing past in his peripheral vision; the vast plains were pulled into mottled color blocks, and the colors changed rapidly in his field of vision. He passed through an ancient forest, and the tall trees quickly retreated behind him, bringing a rustling sound of leaves; he also flew over a surging river, and the roar of the river was left far behind him. When he arrived at the sealing place, many powerful beings from the Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World had already been waiting here. These powerful beings were from different sects and regions, with distinctive costumes and auras. Some were dressed in gorgeous magic robes, and the runes on the robes flickered with a mysterious luster. Those runes seemed to be alive, flowing slowly on the robes, telling ancient stories; some were holding divine weapons, and the weapons exuded a fierce aura, as if they could cut through all the evil in the world. These divine weapons were also engraved with unique marks, representing the glory and status of their owners in their respective fields. In their eyes, there was both admiration for Lin Yu's successful acquisition of the Heart of Chaos. That admiration was like a surging river, flowing continuously. It could be seen from their eyes that they sincerely admired Lin Yu's strength and courage; there was also a solemn look towards the upcoming seal reinforcement work. This solemnity was like a heavy mountain, pressing on everyone's heart, because they all knew the difficulty and significance of this task.
With the help of everyone, Lin Yu sat cross-legged in front of the seal and placed the Heart of Chaos in front of him. He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and circulated the spiritual power in his body. The spiritual power was like a flexible swimming dragon, shuttling through the meridians in his body. Each circulation set off surges of qi and blood in his body. He could feel his heartbeat gradually synchronizing with the fluctuation of the spiritual power, as if the whole world was left with only him, the spiritual power in his body and the Heart of Chaos in front of him. He guided the Heart of Chaos to release the powerful chaotic power. The chaotic power was like a surging wave, rushing towards the seal with the mighty momentum of leveling mountains and overturning seas. The ancient runes and complex formations on the seal were instantly activated. The runes flickered with a simple and unadorned light, and that light seemed to contain endless wisdom and power. The formation also began to slowly operate, making a low humming sound, echoing with the chaotic power. The two slowly merged, like two old friends who had been apart for a long time and finally met again after going through many vicissitudes. With a kind of tacit understanding and mission, they tried to repair the damaged parts of the seal that were caused by the merciless erosion of time and the violent impact of the evil power. Those damaged parts were like hideous wounds. Under the fusion of the chaotic power and the seal, they began to heal slowly. Each trace of healing was accompanied by the flickering of light and the surging of power.
However, the process of strengthening the seal was not smooth. The chaotic power was naturally violent, like a runaway wild horse that was difficult to tame, and also like a capricious storm that could set off huge waves at any time. When it merged with the seal, it constantly impacted the original structure of the seal, making the repair work of the seal extremely difficult. If there was a slight mistake, this violent force might cause the seal to backfire. Not only would all the previous efforts be in vain, but it might also cause great harm to everyone present, and even lead to the entire Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World falling into an abyss of eternal doom. Lin Yu could clearly feel the resistance of the chaotic power. It was like a bound wild beast, constantly struggling and roaring, trying to break free from his control. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and each bead of sweat seemed to be a witness to his hard work. They slowly slid down his cheeks and dropped to the ground, disappearing in an instant, as if they had merged into this land that carried countless secrets. He gritted his teeth tightly, his cheeks bulging slightly from the effort, and focused on controlling the chaotic power. His eyes were firm and focused, as if the whole world was left with only him and the hard-to-control chaotic power. He kept recalling his research and understanding of the chaotic power in his mind. With his usual deep perception of the chaotic power and the exquisite control skills cultivated through long-term practice, he was like an experienced animal trainer, skillfully guiding the direction of the chaotic power and making it gradually adapt to the rhythm of the seal. He constantly adjusted the output of his spiritual power, making precise responses according to the changes of the chaotic power, trying to let this powerful force find its place in the seal.
At the same time, he maintained a close cooperation with other powerful beings. He communicated with everyone through spiritual power transmission. The spiritual power transmission was like an invisible bond, closely connecting him with other powerful beings. He calmly directed them to inject their spiritual power at critical moments to help stabilize the seal. Some powerful beings were responsible for maintaining the spiritual power balance around the seal. They were like loyal guards, always vigilant, with their eyes firmly fixed on the spiritual power fluctuations around the seal, preventing the spiritual power from being disordered due to the impact of the chaotic power; some powerful beings used their magic weapons and supernatural powers to share part of the pressure for Lin Yu and resist the unexpected fluctuations that the chaotic power might cause. An old man waved the whisk in his hand, and the threads on the whisk flickered with a soft light, forming a barrier that blocked back part of the impact of the chaotic power; a young woman formed seals with her hands and summoned a gorgeous light curtain. The runes on the light curtain kept flickering, guiding and calming the chaotic power. Their magic weapons shone brightly and their supernatural powers were ever-changing, adding solid lines of defense to this difficult seal reinforcement work.
In crisis after crisis, Lin Yu and the other powerful beings worked together. Whenever the chaotic power was about to get out of control, Lin Yu could always, with his calm judgment and decisive action, find that glimmer of hope in the dark and bring it back under control. His figure seemed so small between the chaotic power and the seal, but so firm, like a towering mountain, standing firm. Once, the chaotic power suddenly erupted, forming a powerful impact. It seemed that it was about to break through the shackles of the seal. Lin Yu instantly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to form a spiritual power shield in front of the seal, and at the same time sent out an emergency signal to other powerful beings. The other powerful beings quickly responded and used their supernatural powers one after another to resist this impact together with Lin Yu. After a long and arduous effort, the damaged parts of the seal were finally completely repaired. Rays of light circulated on the seal. The light was like a lively elf, jumping happily, and the strength and stability of the seal were greatly enhanced. These lights illuminated the entire sealing place and also the tired but hopeful faces of everyone.
Finally, a dazzling light shot up into the sky from the seal. The light was like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire sealing place and also the hope in everyone's hearts. The originally loose seal became as solid as a rock at this moment, and the evil power in the chaotic abyss could no longer break through easily. All the powerful beings present let out a long sigh of relief. That sigh contained relief, joy and pride, and smiles of relief appeared on their faces. Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes, and the fatigue in his eyes was replaced by the joy of success. That joy was like the blooming flowers in spring, gorgeous and dazzling. He knew that they had finally won this difficult battle, and this victory would bring long-term peace to the Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World. He stood up, looked at the powerful beings around him, and his heart was full of gratitude. He understood that without everyone's concerted efforts, this victory could not have been achieved. At this moment, his heart was full of expectations for the future, expecting the Spirit Realm and the Cultivation World to thrive in this peaceful land.
