Everyone holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? In our great nation of Yanhuang, everyone is a demon c

The world was solemn, the wind and thunder were silent, and only the afterglow of the endless war still echoed between the mountains and rivers. The vast land at this moment was no longer the same as it was yesterday, but a desperate situation where thousands of paths converged and all living beings whispered. Whether it was the saints of heaven, the powerful men of the demon realm, the beasts under the command of the demon king, or the most determined monks of the human race, they were all struggling at this critical moment - each of them was eager to find the "hopeful result" at this moment, but the reality seemed to bury their desires deeply, and no matter how hard they searched, they could not reach it.

Since the outbreak of the "Age of Seriousness", countless magical powers and secret techniques have been used to try to reverse the situation with the strongest attitude. However, when the curtain of the real decisive battle was opened, each camp was horrified to find that no matter how exquisite the formation was and how seamless the cooperation was, it was still difficult to usher in the victory in their minds as expected. They seemed to be locked by some invisible chains and could not break through this final shackle.

In the Holy Land of Heaven, the Son of Dawn held up the golden staff with both hands, his mind racing. He had broken through the formation several times, but was always pushed back in an instant. He cursed inwardly: "Why can't we break the last chain of destiny no matter how hard we try?!" His face turned slightly pale, and he gathered hundreds of thousands of fighting spirits, but he still couldn't effectively detonate the final "Light of Heavenly Punishment".

In the abyss of the demonic realm, the Chaos Venerable and thousands of soul warriors cast the "Void Devouring Array" together. The darkness surged like a tidal wave, and even the laws of heaven and earth were torn apart. But when he drew the last spell pattern, wanting to devour the opponent's foundation with the void, he saw that the opponent's back-biting law was like a soul-devouring net, harvesting his void power one by one. The Venerable roared: "There is actually such a mechanism, and it is actually back-biting us at this moment! This array has obviously reached perfection, why can't it be broken!"

Deep in the Nine Netherworld of the Demon Realm, the beasts under the command of the Demon King gathered in the Ten Thousand Beasts Roaring Formation, trying to crush the opponent's will with the wildest instinct. But when the blood surged to the sky, it was instantly transformed into golden chains by the true essence of the earth, and was tightly bound, causing the roar of the beasts to stop abruptly and turn into a hissing sound that echoed endlessly. The pupils of the Demon King shrank suddenly: "This... What kind of restriction is this? Why can it restrain the blood of all beasts!"

On the forgotten ancient battlefield of the human race, hundreds of thousands of cultivators had already practiced the "Nine-transformation Heaven and Earth Formation" to the extreme precision. However, the moment the formation was activated, they saw that the formation was reversely swallowed by the superimposed rules of heaven and earth. Countless cultivators suddenly felt their vitality bleak and had to retreat. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes: "No matter how seriously we act, we can't usher in the hope we have dreamed of?"

In this chaotic world, only Chen Xiu still stood firmly in the center of the forgotten ancient battlefield. His eyes were as deep as the sea of ​​stars, but at this moment, his heart was also surging. Even though he had practiced the "Dual Wheels of Life and Death" and the "Five Elements and Eight Formations" thousands of times, he still felt powerless in the face of the real chain of fate.

He clenched the golden halberd tightly, feeling the resistance trying to change the rules. He murmured in a low voice: "Countless trials, all possible combinations... Why can't I resist the invisible shackles at the critical moment? Is all this just a dream destined by fate?" He felt depressed in his heart. Even though he was carrying the expectations of all living beings, he felt extremely confused at this moment.

Thousands of soldiers gathered around him and asked him anxiously: "Lord Chen Xiu, is there something wrong with our plan? If we can't break the dark shackles, won't all our efforts be in vain?" Zhu Yan gritted his teeth, his fists bleeding, and his voice trembling.

Qingli lowered her eyes, her green eyes flickering with unwillingness and anxiety: "We fought so hard, why did we still lose at the last moment?"

Xuan Yan slapped the "Mountain and River Seal" heavily, causing the ground to crack, and said loudly: "Even if the chain of fate is strong, we must fight it with all our strength. Only serious action can break this restriction!"

Phantom Blade remained silent, but used a black blade to draw several marks on the ground, and the shadows surged like a tide: "If we are not determined, we will never make an inch. Today we must break this lock, so that shadow and light can coexist!"

Chen Xiu's eyes were focused: "No matter what, today is the time for us to fight hard and do our best! Now that everyone is ready, we must fight this chain of fate!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiu immediately dispatched monks from various groups, and the four major linked formations were reorganized again, but at the critical moment he added the "Mind Resonance Technique" - integrating the obsession in each person's heart into the formation, making the formation no longer cold, but infused with the most ardent belief.

1. Fire and Earth Heart Torch Formation

Zhu Yan and Xuan Yan led the soldiers to the side of the city wall, the heart of fire and the soul of the earth intertwined. Zhu Yan's fist burned like the red sun, and Xuan Yan's mark stood like a mountain. Once the mind resonance technique was activated, the dual true essence of earth and fire suddenly erupted, turning the city wall into a huge heart torch, burning away all darkness and doubts.

2. Ice and Thunder Soul Formation

Qingli and the Sword Immortal of Tribulation stood on the top of the mountain, with icicles and lightning flashing side by side. Qingli's icy heart and the Sword of Tribulation echoed each other, and under the activation of the Heart Resonance Technique, the long sword turned into a pair of lightning and ice blades, instantly cutting off the slightest crack in the chain of fate.

3. Light and Dark Heart Lock Formation Chenxi and Youren hid in the sea of ​​clouds, with holy light and dark shadows running side by side. The two merged with the Heart Resonance Technique, performing holy light purification and dark shadow raids at the same time, interweaving light and darkness, making the chain of fate like a phantom, gradually disintegrating.

4. Virtual Beast Heart Devouring Formation

The Chaos Master and the Demon King led all the beasts to stand on the edge of the abyss, and the void resonated with the blood. Once the mind resonance technique was activated, the void swallowing and the wild beast roar merged with each other, and together they tore the hardest core of the chain apart.

Chen Xiu stood in the center, his "Dual Wheels of Life and Death" flashing with five-colored light, resonating side by side with the four formations of Heart Torch, Soul Absolute, Heart Lock, and Heart Devouring. He raised his halberd and swung it, and golden light fell like a galaxy, as if to illuminate the entire world.

The sound of chains angrily moved between heaven and earth. The eight powers of golden light, red flame, ice, thunder, holy light, shadow, nothingness, and blood tide converged into one, transforming into a blazing beam of light that shot straight into the sky. It was like a calamity from heaven, smashing the invisible chain of fate.

In an instant, countless monks closed their eyes and felt that the resistance of the chains suddenly dissipated, and the world regained its vitality. The wind suddenly rose, the clouds rolled, the earth returned to spring, and all things woke up. When the warriors opened their eyes, they saw the remaining chains shattered into countless points of light, turning into a sky full of flowing light, scattered in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

“We… succeeded!” Zhu Yan raised his arms and shouted, blood and flames on his armor bursting out at the same time.

Qingli's eyes were filled with tears, the ice turned into crystals, and the ice crystals turned into flowers, "We will break free from the shackles and usher in freedom!"

Dawn and Phantom Blade stand side by side, Holy Light and Dark Shadow shine together: "Light and darkness can coexist harmoniously, the era of victory begins from now on!"

The Chaos Reverend and the Demon King laughed loudly, their blood and nothingness merged into one: "All beasts and ghosts should be respected as the same as heaven and earth!"

Chen Xiu stood holding his halberd, his eyes as bright as torches: "This moment is the real victory! Everyone has found the result they most hope for; all the shackles have been broken because of our serious actions. No matter what the future holds, today's "Era of Seriousness" will surely go down in history!"

The flames of war gradually died down, and the land regained its vitality. Countless monks either helped each other or hugged and cried, all celebrating this most incredible victory. They knew that the glory at this moment belonged not only to Chen Xiu, but also to every soldier who worked hard and tried his best.

Everything is renewed, and the world is clear. Chen Xiu looked up at the sky, and saw that outside the cracks in the void, the stars were twinkling again. Countless doors had been opened on the road to the heavens, waiting for the monks to embark on a new journey.

"The era of seriousness will never end!" he said loudly.

Countless voices responded and merged into a tsunami, echoing across the heaven and earth: "The era of seriousness will never stop!"

In this "Era of Seriousness", they finally achieved the desired results, broke all the shackles of fate, and entered an unstoppable new era. (End of this chapter)
