Chapter 414: Sealing of All Arts

“Su Che, you’re just a mere Yuan Ying stage being in the realm of cultivation. Even if you’re fortunate enough to have inherited the legacy of some ancient demon god, it would take just one strike from me to kill you.”
As Lin Feng spoke, faint brown ripples spread around his body, as if he were preparing some extremely powerful spell or technique. “If you’re truly smart, you’d better not provoke me.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Since you’ve found me, I’m already prepared to face death today. Show me what you’ve got!”
Su Che said this deliberately—not to appear weak, but to prove that he had no other choice but to fight to the death.
“It’s just a futile struggle.”
Lin Feng smirked in disdain. With a swift motion, he raised both hands, sending out countless faint brown air currents that dispersed into the air in an instant.
“For now, I don’t want to kill you. Instead, let you experience what it’s like to be completely sealed.”
“Sealing of All Arts!”
With a loud shout, Lin Feng summoned a slowly rotating Taiji Yin-Yang diagram more than ten zhang above Su Che’s head.
Whoosh…
“Heavenly Seal, Sealing of All Arts—no escape within Yin and Yang!”
In an instant, Lin Feng formed hundreds of intricate hand seals. Brown air currents rushed into the Taiji Yin-Yang diagram, accelerating its rotation. Then, an inexplicably powerful invisible force descended, engulfing Su Che.
“Sealing of All Arts?”
Su Che immediately realized that among the ten divine powers he possessed, only the Power of Destruction, Great Thunder Strike, and Great Plundering Technique remained functional. The other seven mortal techniques were all sealed and unusable.
“Sealing of All Arts—seals all mortal techniques and spells…”
Su Che then understood that although Lin Feng’s sealing technique wasn’t a supreme art of the immortal realm, it was still among the most powerful techniques in the mortal world.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Che swung his hand, firing hundreds of Destruction Punches. His target wasn’t Lin Feng, but the Taiji Yin-Yang diagram above him.
To his surprise, the punches didn’t hit the diagram but passed through it as if it didn’t exist, causing deep, bottomless holes to form in the soil above his head with loud explosions.
“Useless.”

Lin Feng laughed heartily. “My divine power of binding all spells has no physical form, so all attacks are ineffective against it. Unless you can defeat me and interrupt my spellcasting, the binding force will naturally dissipate. However, I cannot bind your destructive punching strength—it must belong to the inheritance of some ancient demon god, not something common in the mortal world…”

At this point, he shook his head in exclamation. “Receiving the inheritance of some ancient demon god is already a great fortune. If you truly are the one who possesses this treasure, then your personal luck is indeed excessively good. As such, I’m even more reluctant to kill you…”

Being reluctant to kill Su Che meant that Lin Feng was still just a mortal cultivator without the ability to seize others’ luck. If he wanted to inherit Su Che’s luck, he could only turn him into a puppet to keep by his side. In that case, the benefits brought by Su Che’s luck would become Lin Feng’s own.

“You’ve made a good plan, but sadly, you don’t have the fortune for it.”

Su Che sneered and then unleashed another spell that hadn’t been bound—Great Thunderstorm Technique.

Crack…

Dozens of thunderbolts of varying levels were drawn down from the Stormy Exclusion Zone above his head and struck Lin Feng head-on. Among them were low-level Earth Fire Thunder and Sky Fire Thunder, as well as the highest-level spells in the cultivation world: Purple Sky Divine Thunder and Pure Clear Divine Thunder.

This was because he was deep underground, allowing only a dozen thunderbolts to be summoned at once. If he were on the surface of the Stormy Exclusion Zone, Su Che could instantly summon hundreds of different types of thunderbolts.

“Oh?”

Lin Feng was slightly surprised. He raised his right hand and spun it a few times, dissipating those dozen thunderbolts into nothingness.

“The Illusion Demon was right—it’s indeed the Great Thunderstorm Technique.” Lin Feng nodded slightly. “Although your understanding of this great art is extremely superficial, these thunderbolts can’t hurt me at all. Yet, it makes me incredibly envious that a mere mortal can master such a great art. Tian Yu, I’m growing more and more curious about the secrets you possess.”

At this moment, Su Che was trapped under the restraint of the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram. Aside from his seven mortal divine powers and other spells being bound, he couldn’t move an inch and was stuck in place.

It seemed that Lin Feng’s power of binding all spells was akin to an advanced version of the Prison Demon Technique, capable of trapping someone in place, restricting their vital energy and nascent soul, and preventing them from casting any spells.

Su Che, as if struggling in his death throes, unleashed another great art toward the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram above—Great Plunder Technique.

Whoosh!

This time it actually worked. The intangible Taiji Yin-Yang diagram trembled and shattered with a whoosh, turning into a mass of brown airflow, which Su Che effortlessly captured in his hand.
Swish!
Without hesitation, Su Che sent the mass of brown airflow into the Immortal Prison, allowing Lao Hei to study its properties and determine whether they could be used to find Lin Feng’s weaknesses. Perhaps he could even learn the supreme divine skill of “Seal All Methods”…
“What are you doing…?”
Lin Feng’s expression changed as he couldn’t figure out how Su Che had stolen his divine energy.
As the energy dissipated, “Seal All Methods” was lifted, restoring Su Che’s freedom of movement. He deliberately showed a frightened expression and quickly retreated dozens of feet back.
“Forceful seizure!”
Lin Feng was shaken, frowning as he pondered, “Just now, you forcibly stole my divine power. Could this be one of the top ten great seizure techniques among the Three Thousand Great Paths?”
Su Che tilted his head with a smile. “If this continues, you don’t even need to catch me. Just by guessing like this, won’t you soon uncover my secrets?”
“For now, I’ve only figured out the surface,” Lin Feng said, shaking his head. “I’m most interested in your biggest secret. Tian Yu, if you escape from me today, it will be the greatest loss of my life. From now on, I won’t hold back. If you refuse to surrender willingly, don’t blame me for being ruthless—I might even kill you and extract your soul…”
“Whatever.”
Although Su Che spoke bravely, he was thinking to himself, “‘Seal All Methods’ was similar to ‘Prison the Demon’. Now, what he’s talking about—extracting the soul—is it similar to my ‘Soul Capture’ technique?”
Su Che knew that at this stage, Lin Feng was determined to capture him alive. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t unleash his true strength to kill. He should take this opportunity to confuse Lin Feng as much as possible.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, Lin Feng took out a gleaming silver chain and said in a deep voice, “At the Yuan Ying stage in the cultivation world, one can only control top-tier Dao artifacts. Even if given an ultimate-grade Dao artifact, one can’t fully unleash its power. But now, though I’m still at the Yuan Ying stage, I can show you the true power of an ultimate-grade Dao artifact.”
“Ultimate-grade Dao artifact?”
Su Che’s heart tightened as he stared at the unassuming silver chain. “Is this chain an ultimate-grade Dao artifact?”

An ultimate Dao artifact—a powerful magical weapon that is almost impossible to exist in the cultivation world, as those at the Yuan Ying stage cannot fully control such artifacts; manipulating them is even harder than controlling a top-grade Dao artifact. Thus, those ancient predecessors who ascended to the Spirit Realm took all the famous ultimate Dao artifacts from the cultivation world with them, and now they are hardly ever seen.

Huh!

Since the opponent had used a magical weapon, Su Che dared not neglect it. He immediately summoned the Giant Wealth and suspended it above his head, with a golden defensive barrier instantly enveloping him.

“It might not be able to hold back the attack, but it’s better than having no defense at all.”

In the Immortal Prison, Lao He muttered, “This is the first time I’ve seen an ultimate Dao artifact, and it’s just a broken chain.”

“You can’t judge a person by their appearance, and the same goes for magical weapons,” said White Old Demon slowly. “The more unremarkable a magical weapon seems, the greater its power might be.”

White Old Demon’s words made Su Che and Lao He think of the Immortal Prison Pagoda: “Indeed, just by looking at it, the Immortal Prison Pagoda seems even more unremarkable, like trash just dug out of the ground. It wouldn’t even fetch much money in an antique shop in the mortal world… But who would have thought it’s such a miraculous treasure?”

Whoosh…

Linfeng simply shook the chains lightly, causing intense vibrations throughout the space. With the naked eye, jagged ripples could be seen in the air, as if the space was tearing apart, creating countless cracks.

He smiled and said, “Your defensive magical weapon will be useless against my attacks. If you don’t believe me, give it a try.”

Whoosh!

The several-zhang-long chains began to move on their own like serpents.

Su Che had thought the chains would suddenly lengthen and strike or whip at the Giant Wealth’s defensive barrier in physical form, but instead, he saw something else.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Suddenly, countless silver-white chains appeared throughout the underground cave, entwining with each other and spinning around, instantly forming a chain space with not a single gap through which to escape.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

The sound of thousands of chains shaking was incredibly pleasant, like the most beautiful music in the world, offering immense enjoyment and a spectacular sight. One couldn’t help but immerse themselves in it, wishing they could listen to it for days and nights.

More and more silver chains appeared, quickly sealing off all of Su Che’s movable space, leaving no possibility of moving or dodging.

Su Che could only rely on the Giant Wealth’s defense at full strength, hoping it could withstand the entanglement of these chains. Whoosh!

Thousands of chains, like countless giant pythons, swirled toward Su Che at once. He had thought the Wealthy Barrier could at least hold them off for a while, but to his surprise, the chains passed through the barrier silently and effortlessly, wrapping around Su Che’s body. “This is…” Su Che didn’t even have time to be surprised before the chains pierced through his spiritual treasure robes and sank into his body. The countless chains that had once filled an area of a thousand zhang all disappeared into Su Che’s body. At first glance, it seemed as though Su Che had used some supernatural power to devour all those chains and easily counter this attack. But the truth was the opposite—Linfeng was right; the Wealthy Barrier provided no defense at all and couldn’t stop those chains…
