Chapter 315: Sealing the Demonic Abyss
Lan Yunyan's face was also a little pale, but her eyes were firm: "Xiu Han, I will not give up."
They constantly adjusted the output of their magic power, and the magic circle's light grew stronger and stronger. Finally, through their joint efforts, the Lord of the Demonic Abyss was resealed.
As the last rune embedded itself into the ground, the dark aura above the Demon Abyss receded like a tide, the accumulated black clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and a ray of long-lost sunlight fell on them.
Ling Xiuhan breathed a sigh of relief, his legs softening as he knelt on one knee. The previous battle with the seal had nearly exhausted all of his magic power, and the combined physical and mental exhaustion weighed on him like a mountain.
Lan Yunyan hurried forward to support him. Although she was also exhausted, she still managed to keep herself together.
"We succeeded..." Lan Yunyan's voice trembled slightly, expressing both the relief of surviving the disaster and the emotion of the hard-won victory.
Ling Xiuhan nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed warily on the Demonic Abyss. Although the Lord of the Demonic Abyss had been sealed, the magical fluctuations in this area were still chaotic, as if foreshadowing a potential crisis in the future.
"We can't let our guard down. This seal might not last long. We need to find a way to reinforce it."
Lan Yunyan pondered for a moment and suggested, "Legend has it that in the far north lies a Holy Ice Crystal Temple, where the sacred object of purification and sealing power, the Ice Crystal Heart, is hidden. If we can integrate it into this seal, perhaps it will be completely safe."
Ling Xiuhan raised his head and looked towards the north, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "There is no time to lose, we must set off immediately."
After a short rest, they set out on their journey to the Far North. Along the way, the wind howled and the biting cold scraped across their skin like a sharp blade.
Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan snuggled together, sharing the remaining warmth in their bodies, and moved forward with difficulty.
When they reached a desolate ice field, they were suddenly attacked by a group of ice wolves.
These dire wolves, their bodies white as snow, their eyes gleaming with a faint blue light, moved through the snow like ghosts. Driven by hunger and territorial awareness, they pounced on Ling Xiuhan and Lan Yunyan.
Ling Xiu Han quickly drew the sword from his waist, and a faint magical light appeared on the sword.
Lan Yunyan formed hand seals and muttered something, as an ice shield slowly rose in front of them. The direwolves continuously attacked the ice shield, their sharp claws carving deep marks on the ice.
"This is not a solution. We have to take the initiative." Ling Xiu Han said, and a powerful fighting spirit surged in his body. He flashed and rushed into the wolf pack like an arrow.
He swung the sword in his hand like the wind, and each sword strike carried a sharp sword energy. The direwolves fell one after another under his attack.
However, there were too many direwolves, and Ling Xiu Han gradually felt overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Lan Yunyan decisively removed the ice shield, waved his hands, and chanted a powerful magic spell.
In an instant, countless ice cones fell from the sky and smashed towards the wolves like raindrops.
The dire wolves were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack. Xiu Han took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and finally repelled the wolves.
After a hard fight, they continued on their journey. Finally, at the end of the ice field, a huge temple emitting a faint blue light appeared before them.
The Ice Crystal Temple towers into the clouds, its walls made of huge ice blocks, reflecting colorful light.
They cautiously entered the temple, which was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. In the center of the hall, a crystal-clear ice heart hovered in the air, slowly rotating and releasing a powerful purifying force.
Just as Xiu Han reached out to touch the Ice Crystal Heart, suddenly, a phantom emerged from the Ice Crystal Heart.
The phantom, resembling an ancient guardian, gazed upon them coldly, "How dare you, outsider, covet the Ice Crystal Heart? If you wish to take it, you must first pass my test."
The trial was a test of magic power and will. The guardian summoned countless magical clones and launched a fierce attack on them.
Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan stood back to back, cooperating with each other. Xiu Han relied on his superb swordsmanship to resist close-range attacks, while Lan Yunyan provided long-range support with powerful magic.
During the battle, Ling Xiuhan discovered that the Guardian's attacks had a certain pattern. He shouted, "Yunyan, pay attention to his attack rhythm. We must concentrate our forces and defeat him one by one."
Lan Yunyan understood what he meant, and they adjusted their tactics. Xiu Han deliberately revealed a flaw, attracting the guardian's magical clones to concentrate their attacks on him. Lan Yunyan took the opportunity to unleash powerful magic and wiped out a large number of clones in one fell swoop.
After a hard battle, they finally defeated the guardian.
As the phantom dissipated, the Guardian's voice rang out: "You have passed the test. May the Ice Crystal Heart help you protect peace."
Ling Xiuhan stepped forward and gently grasped the Ice Crystal Heart. Instantly, a powerful and pure force surged into his body, dispelling all his fatigue and pain.
Lan Yunyan also felt the protection of this power. They quickly returned to the Demon Abyss with the Ice Crystal Heart.
After returning to the Demon Abyss, they integrated the Ice Crystal Heart into the seal.
The seal shone brightly, and the originally unstable magic fluctuations subsided instantly. A powerful purifying force spread to the depths of the Demon Abyss, completely suppressing the dark aura of the Lord of the Demon Abyss.
Looking at the seal that had been stabilized again, Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan smiled at each other.
However, Ling Xiuhan's smile was soon replaced by a solemn expression. He turned to look at Lan Yunyan and said softly, "Yunyan, although the Demon Abyss is temporarily stable, we still need someone to guard it to prevent any accidents.
"You return to Qingyun Sect and inform the Sect Master and the other teachers of what has happened here in detail, so that they can also prepare for the attack. I will stay here to take charge of the overall situation and ensure that this seal is absolutely safe."
Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed with worry and reluctance: "Xiu Han, how can I leave you here alone? This Demon Realm is full of dangers. I want to face it together with you."
Ling Xiu Han gently grasped her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Don't worry, the Ice Crystal Heart has now been integrated into the seal, and the power of the Lord of the Demonic Abyss has been greatly suppressed. As long as I am careful and cautious, nothing will happen.
