The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 303 City Lord Qinglan, The Secret of the Nine Rings [Part Two]

A purple-gold light flashed, and Qinglan leaped into the last remaining blood-red pillar of light.

A massive, mysterious array plate rose into the air, enveloping the entire body of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

"Roar!!" The Nine-Headed Serpent struggled even more violently, but with the eight epic-level powerhouses who had been sacrificed and the purple-gold half-step ultimate ghost spirit sitting in the formation at the same time, the nine blood-red light pillars were like the pillars that stabilized the sea, and they quickly stabilized after only a moment of trembling.

"Nine-Spinning Devouring Yuan Array, First Spin, Breaking the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth!" Under the urging of the Dao, the massive array emitted a deafening hum, and the nine blood-red pillars of light rotated and shifted to each other.

That terrifying power, like a millstone crushing the mortal world, caused the solid, illusory image covering the Nine-Headed Serpent to burst like a bubble.

"Second whirlwind, seal the three souls and sever the seven spirits!"

The array plate rotated again, and the blood-red light on the pillar surged, shifting wildly like garbled code. All that could be heard was the Nine-Headed Serpent's mournful howl as its three souls and seven spirits were forcibly severed and peeled from its body by the blood-red light pillar.

"In the third cycle, the three souls suffer the torment of purgatory, and the seven spirits are forever condemned to reincarnation!"

The array plate began to slowly rotate for the third time.

It was extremely difficult to activate the third Cyclone of Clear Waves. It took a full half incense stick's time to send the three souls of the Nine-Headed Serpent into Purgatory and seal its seven spirits within its body.

Legend has it that the Nine-Turning Devouring Yuan Formation is an ancient and ferocious formation capable of breaking the laws of heaven and earth and sealing and slaying gods and demons.

Almost all peak epic-level powerhouses' Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms cannot withstand the first rotation; the power of each subsequent rotation is twice that of the previous one.

With Qinglan's cultivation level, she could only barely unleash the third rotation, which was far less powerful than the true nine rotations, but it was enough to subdue Jiuying.

Of course, while this formation is incredibly powerful, its deployment comes at a tremendous cost, requiring the sacrifice of millions of lives, which goes against the natural order. Therefore, Qinglan chose to petition for the formation to transfer the karmic burden to Jiuying.

In Qinglan's view, sacrificing a city to suppress the Nine-Headed Demon was regrettable, but it was better than letting the entire continent be devastated by this monstrous creature.

"Today, we establish a nine-ring barrier and set up a feng shui formation to isolate the outside world. We await a destined person to break the formation, inherit our mantle, and deliver the final blow to the Nine-Headed Serpent!" Amidst the majestic Daoist voice, the earth shook and the terrain of the entire Fierce Ghost City underwent a dramatic transformation. The nine-layered massive barrier, along with the derived formations, spread out, dividing and enveloping the entire world.

As the main body of the Nine-Headed Serpent gradually faded and merged with the heavens and earth, it was shrouded in a layer of mist. This place became the core area covered by the first layer of barrier, which is also the location of the Nine-Headed Serpent's Palace.

Immediately afterwards, the seven blood pillars that pinned the Nine-Headed Serpent's body and seven souls gradually faded and were covered by the second layer of barrier, forming the current seventh of the Nine-Headed Arms.

As for the other two spiral arms, one is the spiral arm at the array eye where Qinglan is located, and the other is the empty spiral arm that pinned down the tentacle's body. Whether they have any other functions is unknown, and the epic powerhouse buried there is also unknown.

After doing all this, Qinglan finally succumbed to the burden and left a remnant of her soul guarding the formation within her body and the ghost spirit's body, while her main soul gradually faded and left her body.

"Qinglan, I will curse you with my natal Ghost Yin Curse to live in nightmares for eternity!"

As the physical body gradually dissipated, a faint, ethereal sound of hatred emanated from the purgatory that sealed the three souls of the Nine Infants.

Immediately, a crack appeared in the purgatory, and the three souls, their faces contorted in rage beneath the thunder, frantically devoured a celestial herb bearing nine fruits.

The immortal herb is surrounded by nine green leaves, and in the center of its lotus-shaped seedpod are nine fruits that look like infants. It emits a huge life force that the souls of the nine infants can absorb, while the dark death energy emitted by the souls of the nine infants nourishes the roots of the immortal herb.

"The infant falls!" A chilling aura swept through.

A stream of light, resembling that of an infant, fell from the immortal herb, enveloped by the ghostly energy mark, and shot out of the purgatory, merging into the brow of Qinglan's main soul and dissipating together.

"Can, can can..." Upon seeing this scene, the Nine-Headed Serpent's soul let out a sinister laugh, no longer struggling or resisting, allowing the newly closed gaps in the purgatory to completely isolate its venomous gaze from the light of the outside world.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages offer you a pure land for your souls.
