Chapter 19 The Power of Righteous Qi Manifests
The group continued onward, but the malevolent aura grew stronger, and the sky grew darker and darker.
The gray sky seemed to be weighed down by something, heavy and suffocating.
Suddenly, Dijiang, who was walking ahead, stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Rong asked.
Dijiang didn't speak, but simply pointed forward.
Following his finger, everyone saw an invisible barrier stretching across the sky and earth not far ahead.
The barrier was invisible to the naked eye, yet it exuded an extremely mysterious aura.
That was the aura of an innate restriction.
This innate restriction is extremely ancient, as if it has existed for countless years.
It covers a vast area, isolating everything inside from the outside world.
Above the barrier, runes faintly flowed, radiating a chaotic color, mysterious and extraordinary.
"What a powerful restriction." Gonggong stepped forward, carefully examining the barrier, and said in a deep voice, "This restriction is of an extremely high level, far surpassing ordinary formations."
Zhu Rong also stepped forward, reaching out to touch the barrier.
The moment his fingers touched the surface of the barrier, a powerful force rebounded, causing him to stagger backward.
"What incredible strength!" Zhu Rong shook his hand, his eyes wide. "This restriction is no simple matter!"
Dijiang said in a deep voice, "I'll give it a try."
He stepped forward and mobilized spatial power, attempting to tear apart the barrier.
The power of space surged, transforming into invisible blades that slashed fiercely at the restriction.
However, the restriction only trembled slightly before returning to its original state, remaining completely still.
Dijiang frowned slightly and increased the intensity.
The power of space surged like a raging storm, crashing against the barrier wave after wave.
But the restriction was like an unshakeable mountain, and no matter how he tried to break through it, it remained unmoved.
"Me too!" Zhu Rong shouted, and the Southern Bright Fire transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it charged towards the barrier.
Gonggong was not to be outdone; the Weak Water transformed into a black dragon, which, along with Zhurong's fire dragon, struck the barrier simultaneously from the left and right.
Xuanming made his move. The power of ice transformed into countless ice blades, sweeping across the sky like a blizzard.
Jumang, Rushou, Qiangliang, Xizi, Shebishi, Tianwu... one after another, the Ancestral Witches took turns to strike, each displaying their supernatural powers, bombarding the innate restriction.
The power of space, the power of time, the power of fire, the power of water, the power of ice, the power of wood, the power of metal, the power of thunder, the power of electricity, the power of poison, the power of wind...
The twelve fundamental laws intertwined, transforming into a world-destroying force that fiercely struck the restriction.
The entire western land trembled, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and countless cracks appeared in the sky.
That power was so strong that it could destroy an entire region.
however--
Although the innate restriction trembled violently and the runes on its surface flickered wildly, it never broke.
It is like an incredibly tough cocoon, tightly encasing what is inside, refusing to open no matter how much it is bombarded from the outside.
The twelve Ancestral Witches stopped, looked at each other, and were all shocked.
"This restriction... it's so strong?" Zhu Rong stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Even with the twelve of us working together, we still can't break it?"
Zhu Jiu said in a deep voice, "The level of this restriction far exceeds our imagination. The person who set up this restriction is far more powerful than us."
Di Jiang looked at Pan Xuan and said in a deep voice, "Brother Pan Xuan, do you have any ideas?"
Pan Xuan stood to the side, quietly observing the innate restriction.
The righteous energy within him surged slightly, creating a subtle resonance with the restriction.
He stepped forward, stared at the barrier, and slowly said, "I'll give it a try."
The ancestral witches looked at him, their eyes filled with worry. Houtu whispered, "Brother Panxuan, be careful."
Pan Xuan nodded, took a deep breath, and activated the Righteous Qi Technique within his body.
A vast and righteous aura surged from his body.
That is the righteous energy of Pangu, which is immense, strong, upright and selfless. It can restrain all evil things in the world and break through all barriers that hinder justice.
Pan Xuan stretched out his hand, and his righteous energy transformed into a golden pillar of light, which surged from his palm and shone on the innate restriction.
The moment the restriction came into contact with the righteous energy, it trembled slightly, and the runes on its surface flickered even more intensely.
The righteous power of the noble spirit collided with the mysterious power of the restriction, producing a buzzing sound.
But the restriction remained unbroken.
Pan Xuan frowned slightly, and with a thought, the Primordial Measuring Ruler flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered above his head.
The mysterious yellow energy emanating from the ruler cascaded down like a waterfall, and the golden light of merit shone in all directions.
The righteous energy and the power of the Primordial Measuring Ruler intertwined, transforming into an even greater force that continuously impacted the restriction.
Within Pan Xuan's body, the Righteous Qi Technique was operating at full power, keeping him at his peak condition.
Although the counterforce of the restriction was powerful, it could not affect him in any way.
His breathing remained steady, and his magical power remained abundant, as if it would never run dry.
Time passed slowly.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood aside, quietly watching Pan Xuan break the restriction.
They could sense that the barrier was gradually loosening under the continuous impact of the Righteous Qi and the Primordial Measuring Ruler.
"Brother Pan Xuan's Righteous Qi Technique is indeed profound," Di Jiang said in a low voice. "If it were us, we would have been exhausted long ago. But he... seems to never tire."
Zhu Jiuyin nodded: "Righteous energy is immense and unyielding, inexhaustible and everlasting."
As long as his righteous spirit remains, he will never run out of strength. This supernatural power is truly heaven-defying.
After an unknown amount of time, the innate restriction finally gave way.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, like glass shattering.
A tiny crack appeared on that invisible barrier.
Cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire barrier like a spider web.
boom--
With a deafening roar, the innate restriction shattered, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the world.
The moment the barrier shattered, an unimaginably vast aura of malevolent energy erupted from the gap, shooting skyward like a volcanic eruption.
The intensity, ferocity, and antiquity of that malevolent aura far surpassed any malevolent aura the Twelve Ancestral Witches had ever seen before.
It was like an ancient behemoth that had been sleeping for countless years, finally awakened and roaring angrily.
"Such a strong malevolent aura!" Zhu Rong exclaimed, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
For the witch clan, malevolent energy is the best tonic. Such a dense concentration of malevolent energy is practically a gift from heaven.
Gonggong's eyes widened: "This malevolent energy... is even more concentrated than what we absorbed underground at Buzhou Mountain!"
The power contained within is simply unimaginable!
Di Jiang's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Be careful! This malevolent energy is too violent; do not absorb it rashly."
He quickly made a judgment and protected Houtu and Panxuan in the middle.
Houtu's primordial spirit is newly born and should not absorb evil energy; although Panxuan has righteous energy protecting him, he has only been in human form for a short time and should not take any risks.
The other ancestral witches immediately understood, and with Dijiang at the head, they surrounded Panxuan and Houtu, protecting them in the middle.
The eleven ancestral witches formed a tight protective circle, firmly protecting the two of them.
"Go!" Di Jiang gave the order, and the thirteen people headed towards the depths of the restriction.
