Chapter 289: Chapter286-Space-Time Distortion!
"You've thwarted our grand plans again and again. After every failure, you hide like a rat. Do you think you'll be so lucky this time?" The God Realm master was one of the Ancestor of Trickery's most important puppets, and his death dealt a severe blow to the Ancestor's prestige.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Facing the Ancestor of Trickery's aggressive gaze, the Lord of Stars remained calm, responding with a question of his own, "Do you think you'll succeed this time?"
The Ancestor of Trickery narrowed his eyes. "I don't know where you get your confidence. Years of failure have only made you more foolish and ignorant!"
"Oh? Do you really think my failures over the years were meaningless?" The Lord of Stars shook his head slightly, meeting the Ancestor of Trickery's gaze with a composed smile.
"I've traversed nearly every corner of this realm, seeking every possible form of magic. You've hidden yourselves well, but in the end, I found something you fear."
Hearing these words, the Ancestor of Trickery's pupils constricted, but he quickly regained his composure, confidently replying, "We are only beholden to the Heavenly Dao. There is nothing that can make us tremble in fear. You are simply delusional!"
"No matter how many times you try, you will always fail!" The Ancestor of Trickery's confidence drew a faint smile from the Lord of Stars.
"Is that so? Then let's see how well the four great Forbidden Zones can handle some time in seclusion!"
In an instant, intricate rune patterns lit up in hidden corners across Middle Earth and the entire continent. These scattered points of light connected, forming a massive array that spanned across the realms.
Sensing the power of this formation, the Ancestor of Trickery's smug confidence evaporated, replaced by shock and disbelief.
"The Heavenly Seal of Forbidden Lands!"
"This... how is this possible?!"
As the enormous array began to take shape, it soared into the sky, splitting into four parts like ancient starry clouds, each enveloping one of the four great Forbidden Zones.
At that moment, the other three Forbidden Zone masters, who had been crossing space-time to reach this location, were also filled with a sense of dread. They felt as if they were being torn from the fabric of time itself.
Once the starry clouds covered the Forbidden Zones, even they would not be able to escape for a considerable time.
"The Heavenly Seal of Forbidden Lands!"
Owen felt a moment of realization flash through his mind. He had heard of this technique before-it was mentioned in the late stages of the original anime. It was a powerful method capable of sealing the four Forbidden Zones.
However, it was also an incredibly tyrannical technique, so much so that the heavens themselves had rejected it. The seal had been split into fragments, scattered across the realm.
Although the Lord of Stars had failed many times before, he had partly done so to lull the Forbidden Zones into complacency while secretly gathering the fragments of this technique. "The Lord of Stars' schemes truly stretch across the ages. This technique is something even the four Forbidden Zones cannot resist," Leslie remarked in awe.
Her keen eyes had always been sharp, and after inheriting the Ice Emperor's legacy, she had gained knowledge of many ancient secrets, including a basic understanding of the four Forbidden Zones.
These were forces that no mere human could oppose, but now the Lord of Stars had broken the rules and was succeeding in sealing them.
"If he fully mastered this technique, the four Forbidden Zones would be sealed for centuries. But unfortunately, it's incomplete," Owen said, shaking his head slightly.
From some of the later episodes of the original story, Owen had deduced that the technique wouldn't be able to seal all four Forbidden Zones completely.
Leslie didn't fully understand why Owen seemed so certain, but she trusted him, and her brows furrowed in concern.
"If the seal fails, it will only enrage the four Forbidden Zones, and the consequences will be disastrous!"
Today was her wedding day, and if this chaos continued, everything she had painstakingly arranged would be ruined.
Sensing Leslie's emotional turmoil, Owen gently squeezed her hand and reassured her, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. With the Lord of Stars' current strength, he should be able to seal at least one of the Forbidden Zones. Then we'll only have to face the pressure of three."
However, even three Forbidden Zones were terrifyingly powerful, each capable of wielding world-ending strength.
"Do you have a plan?" Leslie asked, seeing how calm Owen remained.
Owen took a deep breath, smiling as he looked at her. "I do have one."
...
Meanwhile, as the massive starry clouds continued to approach the Tower of Infinity, the Bone Abyss, the Forbidden Sea, and the Heaven of Desire, the masters of the four Forbidden Zones grew increasingly agitated. Their terrifying attacks shattered space and obliterated mana, creating vast magical vacuums.
Despite the destructive power of their attacks, the starry clouds seemed to possess a devouring force. Their strikes caused the clouds to tremble, but they couldn't break through
the seal.
Soon, the Tower of Infinity was the first to succumb to the starry clouds, trapped within them as all of its energy faded away.
The Tower of Infinity had been sealed!
At that moment, the other Forbidden Zones' masters were filled with shock and dread. If nothing changed, the Tower of Infinity wouldn't reappear for at least a century!
Though centuries were but a fleeting moment to these ancient powers, even a single seal was an immense humiliation.
Especially now, with the Millennial Cataclysm approaching! This was the moment when the Forbidden Zones would work with the Heavenly Dao to destroy the world, yet now they were unable to act!
The mages of Middle Earth and the continent stared in awe at the Lord of Stars. To them, the Forbidden Zones were the most terrifying places in existence, off-limits to all mortals.
But now, the Lord of Stars, through his own power and skill, had sealed one of the great Forbidden Zones!
No wonder he was known as the god of light and darkness, the ruler of the starry heavens- the Lord of Stars! A figure filled with rebellion and legend!
In that moment, the image of the Lord of Stars was forever etched into their minds.
The other three Forbidden Zone masters, witnessing this, nearly went mad.
"We must attack the Lord of Stars together! Kill him, and the crisis will be over!"
A furious voice rang in the minds of the other Forbidden Zone masters.
Immediately, all their attention focused on the Lord of Stars.
Though the sealing technique was terrifying, it must have consumed a vast amount of the Lord of Stars' power. Even with his preparations, now was the best time to strike!
"Did you ask me for permission before attacking him?"
The War Goddess stepped forward, standing beside the Lord of Stars. She had come with him precisely to prevent this from happening!
"Do you really think you can stand against us? Foolish dream!"
Though the War Goddess was renowned, in the eyes of the three Forbidden Zone masters, she
was far weaker than the Lord of Stars. With them working together, she would be no match for
them.
"Hand of the Abyss!"
The Ancestor of Trickery was the first to act, summoning a massive hand of black, viscous
liquid that writhed as it descended from the sky, aiming to engulf both the War Goddess and
the Lord of Stars.
Wherever the hand passed, space disintegrated, and mana evaporated like mist. Everything
seemed to vanish into nothingness.
"Flames of Seven Desires!"
The Heaven of Desire master swung its grotesque tentacles, its countless eyes filled with rage. Threads of fire burst from the eyes, converging into a rainbow-colored torrent that rushed toward the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess.
Wherever the flames passed, even their ripples dragged countless mages into whirlpools of desire, showing them illusions of their greatest loves or hates, trapping them in their own
minds.
"Demonic Bone Spear!"
The giant skeleton in the Bone Abyss raised its right hand, transforming the bones into a massive spear. It pierced through space, ignoring the boundaries of time and reappearing above the heads of the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess.
At this moment, the three Forbidden Zone masters unleashed their most powerful
techniques.
The entire realm shook from the onslaught, with countless lives either losing their minds or being obliterated by the terrifying waves of destruction.
The Lord of Stars and the War Goddess, caught in the center of the attacks, wore expressions
of intense seriousness.
