Wherever the black crack passed, everything was swallowed up. Air, light, sound, even the dust and fallen leaves floating in the valley. It was pure "nothingness," the void left after space was forcibly erased.

The moment the crack struck the barrier—

"Click...click click click—"

A piercing cracking sound came from the surface of the barrier. On the dark purple light screen, cracks spread wildly from the point of impact, like shattered glass. The incantations inside the barrier began to flicker uncontrollably, some dimming and extinguishing, while others overloaded and burst into blinding light.

The entire valley began to shake.

Pebbles cascaded down the cliff face, rippled violently across the stream's surface, and trees in the forest collapsed in droves. From within the barrier came the howls of countless cursed spirits—roars of terror and chaos, a mixture of anger and unease.

Gojo Satoru withdrew his hand and put his sunglasses back on.

The barrier wasn't completely shattered, but it was riddled with cracks, and its strength had decreased by at least 70%. Through those cracks, one could vaguely see a distorted scene inside—the forest had turned dark red, the tree branches were writhing like tentacles, and the ground was covered with a thick, viscous black substance.

“It’s my turn,” Yuuto said.

He changed the hand seals again.

The golden area suddenly expanded, growing from a diameter of twenty meters to one hundred meters.

The phantom images of the four sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—emerged on the surface of the domain, circling it and emitting silent roars. Immediately afterwards, four golden beams of light shot out from the four corners of the domain, piercing into the four directions surrounding the valley.

The beam of light immediately unfolded upon landing, transforming into four golden walls of light that completely enveloped the entire valley and the surrounding 500-meter area.

The surface of the light wall was covered with dense sealing incantations, which were ancient sealing techniques that Yuuto had learned from the Kamo family's ancient books over the past six months. These techniques combined the Tongtianlu's talisman skills with the Shenji Bailian's weapon-refining techniques.

The Four Symbols Seal: It seals off space, the flow of magical power, and all forms of transfer techniques.

Today, no one is leaving this place.

Inside the barrier.

Inside the barrier.

Three hundred meters underground in a karst cave, the skull of a creature was revealed. The cave was filled with the sounds of nature, and the surrounding landscape was a chaotic mess.

Just now, he felt the Heavenly Origin-level barrier covering the entire valley being struck hard by a giant hammer, its cursed power structure on the verge of collapse! Immediately afterwards, an even more magnificent and exquisite sealing power, like an overturned giant bowl, completely sealed off the entire valley and the external space.

"Impossible..." He looked up, his voice trembling, his voice trembling. He was stunned. He could only stare at the sky, his voice trembling. He looked ...

However, the incantation of the teleportation spell flickered in the air a few times before suddenly dissipating as if it had hit an invisible wall, without even causing a ripple in space.

"The Four Symbols Seal... and that power that just pierced the barrier..." The man in the mirror looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief. He was stunned. "The Four Symbols Seal... and that power that just pierced the barrier..."

The young Special Agent who had been missing for three months did not give up. Instead, like the most patient hunter, he followed the slightest traces he had deliberately left behind and tracked him all the way back to his lair!

"Really...I've been underestimated." The woman in the photo, her face pale, looked at the man with a stern expression. She sighed, "I've really been underestimated." She continued, "I've been underestimated." The man's expression was a mix of emotions, a mix of emotions, and a sense of unease. She looked at the man with a stern expression ...

He raised his hand, and a dark red light signal shot into the top of the cave, pierced through the rock layers, and reached the surface of the valley.

Inside the valley, the cursed spirits lurking beneath the writhing carpet of flesh and clinging to the twisted trees instantly erupted into a frenzy, as if they had received a supreme command!

Level-one cursed spirits surged forth from every corner of the valley like a black tide, densely packed, emitting chilling roars.

Meanwhile, eight terrifying spells, far exceeding the level one, surged into the sky from different directions deep within the valley, carrying various negative emotions such as tyranny, madness, coldness, and malice, locking onto the four figures in the sky.

On the ground, the dark purple barrier covering the valley finally shattered completely under the pressure from both inside and outside, turning into countless specks of light. The true face of the valley was revealed to the four of them—a scene like hell, where the filthy curse power almost solidified into a tangible mist.

"Wow, what a grand welcoming ceremony." Gojo Satoru whistled, his gaze sweeping over the eight super-grade spell reactions below. "The quantity is correct, but the quality... so-so."

Tsukumo Yuki cracked her knuckles, and dark golden cursed power began to circulate around her: "Eight top-tier cursed spirits... It's been a long time since we've had this much 'liveliness.' How do we divide them?"

Yigu had already removed the white cloth, revealing a long samurai sword underneath. He calmly said, "According to the plan, Senior Jiujuu and I are responsible for clearing out the horde of cursed spirits and restraining the top-tier cursed spirits. Teacher Gojo will oversee the operation and guard against any unforeseen events. Yuuto, you're all in!"

Yuujin nodded, his gaze piercing through the filthy, cursed mist, locking onto the entrance to the cave disguised as a rock formation deep within the valley. "He can't escape." As soon as he finished speaking, the golden aura dissipated, and the four of them descended simultaneously.

The moment they landed, eight special-grade curse spirits of various shapes led a tidal wave of first-grade curse spirits and rushed up from all directions!

There are lava giants engulfed in inextinguishable flames, beautiful yet deadly women composed of countless sharp ice crystals, and assassins who blend into the shadows.

There are corrosive hounds with three heads, ancient cursed spirits shaped like giant trees with branches like tentacles, twisted beings that constantly change form and emit mental pollution, and feathered demons that fly in the air and stir up hurricanes.

There was also a small, spherical cursed spirit whose surrounding space was slightly distorted and which exuded a dangerous aura.

"Fight on your own!" Tsukumo Yuki charged out first, his dark golden bone whip "Phoenix Wheel" lashing out like a living thing, carrying the terrifying mass given by "Star's Wrath". With one strike, he sent the three first-level cursed spirits and the ice crystal female cursed spirit at the forefront flying backward and crashing into the group of cursed spirits, clearing a space.

"These four are mine!" she laughed, and took the initiative to face the Lava Giant, the Ice Crystal Woman, the Shadow Assassin, and the Cerberus.

Yigu Yuta remained silent, drawing his sword, the blade reflecting the crimson eyes of the cursed spirits. "Rika," he called softly.

A vast, loving yet violent magical power surged behind him, and the super-grade cursed spirit, Kimoto Rika, fully manifested, letting out a silent roar. With a slam of her enormous hand, she enveloped dozens of first-grade cursed spirits that had surged in from the flanks, along with the twisted, mentally corrupted cursed spirit.

"Yuta..." Rika's voice rang directly in Otsuko's mind.

Yigu nodded, and his figure charged into the group of cursed spirits together with Lixiang. Blade light and sharp claws intertwined, instantly blocking the attacks of the tree-shaped tentacle cursed spirits, feathered demons and twisted beings.

Gojo Satoru stood leisurely at the back, his six eyes beneath the black eyepatch taking in the entire battlefield. He didn't rush to attack, but rather, like a king surveying his territory, he ensured that no one could slip through the net and interfere with the most crucial battle. At the same time, his senses were firmly locked onto the coldest and most cunning aura underground.

Just as Tsukumo and Etoki were engaged in battle with the group of cursed spirits and the special-grade cursed spirits, Kasuga Yuujin's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a ray of light merging into the wind.

Deep in the valley, at the entrance to the cave.

"Haruhito... I've been observing you for a long time. Your growth trajectory, those 'abnormalities' about you that don't belong to this world... You're more like an 'outsider' in this world than I am. Join me, and we can create a more interesting new world together, a world without constraints where the strong are respected."

"Interesting?" Yuujin scoffed. "A 'playground' built on the deaths, fear, and despair of countless people, is this your so-called new world? You use 'Death Return' to cover the Tianyuan Barrier, making everyone kill each other, just to satisfy your unchanging desire for control and your perverse tastes? Give me a break, I'm already tired of your stuff."

Before the words were finished, the old man, named Jian Naqi, shouted: "I am sorry, I am poor! I am afraid I am in trouble ...

This attack was silent and ruthless, a vicious technique he had refined over a thousand years.

Chapter 174 (The last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

However, as if Yujin had eyes in the back of his head, just as the claws were about to strike, a flash of light appeared from the Qimen formation beneath his feet—

"The chaotic clapper!"

Time flowed on, and the world seemed to turn upside down. The passage of time, like a fleeting shadow, was a constant reminder of the passage's passage, ...

"Hmm?" The gluttonous, chilling air seemed to pierce the heart. A sharp, cold light emanated from the tree, and a faint, menacing glint appeared in the air. The air seemed to shimmer with a strange light, a faint glint in the sky, a faint glint in the heart ...

Yujin neither dodged nor avoided, his body shrouded in golden light, like the strongest armor.

"Clang, clang, clang!" Three soft sounds rang out as the cursed nail struck the golden light, bouncing away without even causing a ripple. Meanwhile, Yuujin's right hand had somehow found its way to the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Flowing Cloud Sword - Flowing Cloud Piercing the Sun".

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, or a thunderclap tearing through the dark clouds, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it pierced straight at the enemy's prey. The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, its blade flashing like a thunderclap ...

"Kun character - Earth River Chariot!"

The ground roared and rose, and massive rocky arms burst forth from the earth, not to attack, but to block the path of the retreating creature.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." The blade cut through five layers of shields with unstoppable force, encountering a slight resistance at the sixth. And it was this brief moment of resistance that allowed the blade to pierce through the shields, its momentum unstoppable.

An invisible mental shockwave spread out in a fan shape. This was an attack on the very essence of the soul, enough to instantly dazed an ordinary master sorcerer or even damage their soul.

"Useless." Yuujin's eyes were clear, a barely perceptible blue light flashing between his brows (Dual-wielding Soul-Stabilizing Technique). The shrill whistle was like a gentle breeze across a mountain, failing to shake him in the slightest. The blade pressed forward again, completely piercing the sixth layer of the shield, the tip touching the seventh layer—

"Heavenly Talisman - Armor-Piercing Talisman!"

A talisman shimmering with silver light appeared out of thin air in front of the blade, merging with the blade itself.

"Crack!"

The last shield shattered! The blade plunged straight in!

"What?!" The man exclaimed, his voice trembling. He looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief. "What?!" he cried. "What?!" He gasped, his voice trembling. "What?!" He looked up, his eyes wide with disbelief ...

"Blood Release: Substitution!"

The blade pierced through the "Liaobei Naxia Dan," and a pale face appeared on Mu Suo's forehead, the stitches on his forehead seemingly reddened from the intense depletion of his magical power. It was a Substitution Jutsu, and a high-level one at that, one that consumed his very life essence, that allowed him to barely escape unscathed.

He had barely appeared, before he could even catch his breath, when he heard Yujin's icy voice:

"I told you, you can't escape."

Yujin spread his left hand and made a loose fist in his direction.

"Four Symbols Sealing - Soul Locking!"

The four enormous golden walls of light surrounding the valley simultaneously shone brightly, and countless intricate golden chain phantoms shot out from them, ignoring spatial distance and instantly appearing on the surrounding landscape.

The sealing incantations flowing on the chains not only target space and magical power, but also have an aura that locks onto the very essence of the soul!

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context or clarification.

"You...you can actually use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to this extent?!" The man exclaimed, his voice trembling. He was utterly astonished. "You...you can actually use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to this extent?!"

"To possess the strengths of a hundred schools of thought is not just empty words." Yujin slowly sheathed his sword, gazing at the creature trapped in the golden chain cage. He looked at the creature with a mixture of awe and resentment, his expression one of profound understanding.

Meanwhile, the battle between Tsukumo Yuki and Etoku Yuta is also nearing its end.

Yuki Tsukumo was shrouded in dark gold "Star's Fury" cursed armor, like a Valkyrie descending to earth. Her fighting style was wide and powerful, each whip carrying the force to shatter mountains and split rocks. She whipped the lava giant, sending lava flying everywhere, and knocked the ice crystal woman, sending ice crystals flying. The shadow assassin couldn't even get close before being blasted out of his true form by the whip's force. The three-headed dog was even bound by the Phoenix Wheel Chains and was left on the verge of death after a brutal beating.

She seized an opportunity, and her Phoenix Wheel transformed into a golden light, piercing directly through the core of the Lava Giant and exorcising it. Then, with a backhand punch, her fist, imbued with ultimate quality, blasted the Ice Crystal Woman into a shower of ice powder.

On the other side of the Bone, Rika's massive body became the strongest bulwark and the most ferocious battering ram, tearing off the branches of the tree-like tentacle cursed spirit.

"You...you can actually use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to this extent?!" The man exclaimed, his voice trembling. He was utterly astonished. "You...you can actually use the Four Symbols Sealing Technique to this extent?!"

"To possess the strengths of a hundred schools of thought is not just empty words." Haruhito slowly sheathed his sword, gazing at the creature trapped in the golden chain cage. He looked at the creature with a mixture of awe and resentment, his expression one of profound understanding.

He raised his left hand, palm facing up, and slowly closed his five fingers.

The golden chains tightened, emitting a harsh, metallic scraping sound. The runes on the chains glowed with a blinding light, each rune beginning to corrode the surrounding energy, gradually eroding the very fabric of the chain.

"You think you've won by trapping me?" He looked at her with a strange, mocking expression, then said, "You think you've won by trapping me?" His voice was sharp and menacing. He looked at her with a strange, mocking tone, then said, "You think you've won by trapping me?"

His voice suddenly turned shrill, and dark red blood began to seep from the stitches on his forehead. The blood flowed down his cheeks, outlining eerie patterns on his skin.

"Ghost Curse Physique - Third Stage Unleashed!"

A bluish-black cursed power erupted from the demon's body like a volcanic eruption, surging forth with immense force.
