After descending the mountain, my aloof fiancée became completely devoted to me.

"Did you think you could hold out until the full moon by relying on the barrier?"

The aged, hoarse voice was no longer a divine transmission, but rather it resounded directly through the soil, echoing throughout the courtyard, and could be heard with unparalleled clarity.

"My abandonment of the outer pieces is not a defeat, but a move to close the net!"

Boom!

The earth trembled violently!

The entire mountain range in southern Xinjiang shook simultaneously, countless rocks tumbled down, and endless malevolent energy gathered wildly within the earth's veins, crushing towards the direction of Wutong Manor!

Zhu Xiaohan's expression changed: "The other side is mobilizing the Yin energy of the entire Southern Frontier's ley lines! They're trying to forcibly shatter our barrier!"

The triple-layered God-Locking Barrier shook violently, its spiritual light flickered intensely, and countless array patterns began to crack inch by inch, on the verge of shattering.

This is the power of the entire earth's veins!

It is the absolute trump card that the old ghost behind the scenes has been lying dormant for ten thousand years, controlling the origin of the earth veins in the southern border!

Simply relying on a protective barrier is not enough to withstand the attack!

Alu's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to use her spiritual power to stabilize the barrier, but the difference between the two forces was too great, and her spiritual energy was constantly being shattered and consumed.

Shen Aoxue looked at the crumbling barrier and the two women struggling to hold on, her heart tightened, and she immediately wanted to use her own power to help.

"Don't move."

Lin Ping raised his hand and pressed down on her shoulder, firmly keeping her in place.

He strode forward, walking alone to the center of the courtyard's barrier, facing the endless Yin energy that was crushing down from the sky.

A fierce wind whipped at his clothes, a thick black fog pressed down on the city, and a murderous aura filled the air.

Yet he stood there alone, upright and composed, without the slightest fear.

"Does controlling the earth's ley lines mean you can act with impunity?"

Lin Ping raised his eyes and looked down into the abyss. His voice was clear and cold, carrying far and wide.

"You've guarded the earth's veins for millennia, confined to this tiny space your entire life, surviving by stealing Yin energy. Do you really think this is the pinnacle of power in the world?"

"Today, I will show you what true overwhelming power is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer held back. Deep within his soul, the ancient secret seal that had been dormant for countless ages trembled slightly.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no rampant spiritual power.

Only a faint, warm, and flawless golden light quietly emanated from his body.

The golden light was soft, not dazzling, and not domineering, yet it carried the supreme Daoist charm of suppressing all ages and purifying everything.

The moment that ray of golden light touched the crumbling barrier, all the cracked array patterns were instantly repaired and stabilized.

Immediately afterwards, golden light pierced through the barrier, enveloping the entire Wutong Manor and spreading outwards.

The endless, overwhelming yin energy of the earth veins, upon touching the golden light, instantly...

A momentary freeze!

The Yin Sha torrent, which was ferocious and overwhelming just a second ago, capable of crushing grandmasters and tearing mountains apart, was now frozen in mid-air, trembling, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

A roar of disbelief and fury came from underground!

"What kind of power is this?! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He controls the very essence of the southern border's earth veins, possessing ten thousand years of Yin energy, enough to overturn mountains and rivers and obscure the sun and moon. How could he be intimidated by a mere ray of light?!

A faint sneer curled at the corner of Lin Ping's lips.

"A frog at the bottom of a well can't know how vast the world is."

He gently raised his palm and casually flicked it.

wow——

The vast, dark, malevolent torrent, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, melted and purified at a visible speed.

The boundless black fog rapidly dissipated, the gloom that had shrouded the night sky vanished completely, and the stars and moon once again hung high in the night sky, their clear light shining upon the earth.

The land of southern Xinjiang, which had just been trembling violently, instantly returned to calm, without shaking at all.

A deadly offensive that consumed countless resources of the mastermind behind the scenes and mobilized the entire earth's veins.

Lin Ping casually flicked his wrist, completely neutralizing the attack!

In the courtyard, Zhu Xiaohan let out a long sigh of relief, her tense body completely relaxing, her eyes filled with awe.

Alu stared wide-eyed at Lin Ping with adoration, her eyes sparkling.

Mr. will always be like this!

No matter how strong the opponent's trump card or how fierce their attack, they remain calm and collected, defeating all enemies with a mere wave of their hand!

Shen Aoxue quietly watched the young man standing against the light, her trust in him growing ever deeper.

The chilling aura from the earth was completely disrupted, and the ethereal soul was filled with extreme rage and resentment.

[Lin Ping! How dare you destroy my earth's ley line energy!]

My accumulated strength of ten thousand years will not be allowed to be trampled upon by you!

[Since you insist on courting death, then I will activate the Earth Vein Killing Array ahead of schedule! I will sacrifice all the Yin energy of all living beings in the Southern Frontier to forcibly seize your body ahead of time!]

boom!

A muffled, loud bang erupted from the rift in the earth's veins!

Across the entire southern border region, countless hidden ley lines simultaneously lit up with a dark, blood-red light!

The ancient malevolent energy buried deep underground was forcibly awakened, and a terrifying pressure several times stronger than before shot straight into the sky!

Shen Aoxue's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood almost surged to her throat. The ancient Yin and evil essence within her body boiled completely, her soul was frantically pulled apart, and her consciousness began to blur rapidly.

She swayed and nearly fell over.

"Aoxue!" Alu quickly helped her up, her expression panicked.

Zhu Xiaohan's expression turned completely grave: "This is bad! He's trying to forcefully activate the destined killing formation ahead of schedule! He's disregarding his own losses to complete the possession!"

The ultimate deadly trap, originally scheduled for the night of the full moon three days later, was forcibly brought forward by the mastermind behind the scenes!

Knowing that conventional erosion and earth vein attacks could not harm Lin Ping, he went completely mad, sacrificing his millennia-old foundation and countless hidden Yin energy veins in the southern border region to forcibly activate the ultimate body-seizing technique!

Once the possession is complete, he will be able to use Shen Aoxue's perfect soul vessel to break free from the earth's ley lines and return to the mortal world!

At that time, southern Xinjiang will surely be plunged into devastation, and no one will be able to stop it!

A furious laugh from underground echoed through the heavens and earth, filled with a mad, resolute intensity.

I've meticulously planned this for millennia; how can I let it all fall apart at the last hurdle?

So what if it's ahead of schedule! Today my soul returns to its rightful place!

[Lin Ping, I'd like to see how you manage to stop my deadly scheme of sacrificing all living beings!]

Lin Ping steadily supported the swaying Shen Aoxue, and golden light continuously flowed into her body from his fingertips, stabilizing her soul which was on the verge of collapse.

The last trace of gentleness in his eyes vanished completely, leaving only a chilling indifference.

"Destroying its own foundation, sacrificing its own people, and remaining stubbornly unrepentant."

"Since you are so eager to die, then I will grant your wish."

He looked up at the dark, deep fissure in the ground, his voice carrying absolute control: "You think you can disrupt my plans by starting the killing spree ahead of time?"

You're wrong.

"Playing your trump card prematurely will only increase your losses and expose your weaknesses."

"You want to possess someone prematurely?"

Lin Ping's gaze was sharp as a sword, piercing through the layers of earth and reaching the deepest part of the earth's veins.

"Then I will break your millennia-long stalemate and annihilate your eternal soul today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light suddenly surged around him!

The supreme power of the Primordial Seal was completely unsealed, and a gentle yet domineering purifying force enveloped the entire Southern Frontier.

The sacrificial array that was running wildly underground suddenly experienced a large-scale malfunction, with countless dark array patterns collapsing and dissolving inch by inch.

The old ghost behind the scenes let out an extremely painful roar, and could clearly sense that the ultimate killing formation he had set up over ten thousand years was being rapidly disintegrated!

But he had gone mad, recklessly burning his remaining divine soul essence to forcefully activate the formation!

As long as I survive, the game remains unbroken!

Even if I'm completely wiped out, I'll drag you all down to hell with me!

Lin Ping remained indifferent, raising his hand to press down from a distance.

"wishful thinking."

"Today, the earth's veins in the southern borderlands are cleared, and the era of ten thousand years of evil has come to an end."

"Your destiny's game of chess is about to end."

Just as the power of the Primordial Secret Seal was about to completely crush the underground formation and strike the primordial rift, Lin Ping's movements suddenly stopped.

His deep eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of extreme surprise flashing across them.

More than one divine soul!

Deep within the rift in the earth's veins, besides this ancient and sinister mastermind, there was another extremely faint and extremely well-hidden aura of the same divine soul!

This aura was incredibly familiar, both deeply ingrained and eerie.

It's Shen Aoxue!

But this is definitely not the Shen Aoxue who is now possessed by evil spirits and whose soul is pure!

It is the second Shen Aoxue's divine soul origin, which has been dormant in the origin of the earth's veins for ten thousand years, coexisting with the ancient evil spirits, and has never appeared in the world!

The end of this eternally predetermined deadly trap is not, at all, possession by evil spirits!

The true ultimate trump card, from beginning to end, has always been hidden in the deepest part of Shen Aoxue's soul!
