Chapter 433: Sealing (3)

Chapter 433: Sealing (3)


Even though it was called the wall of time, it was not a real wall. Looking through the hole, it was filled with multicolored light, and Xiao Lin completely lost all sense of direction while he was within. There was no sense of time or s.p.a.ce, as if even his thoughts had frozen in s.p.a.ce.


The moment felt extremely long, yet abnormally short.


Xiao Lin blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, the lights had already disappeared. What followed was the sudden sense of falling. The wall of time’s hole was in the air. Xiao Lin quickly inhaled large breaths of air, not having the time to think of anything else before his hands quickly clapped together, starting the sealing spell based on what Silverlight had taught.


Atlantis’s sealing spells were quite different from those on Planet Norma. Planet Norma was strictly built on the system of magic, and their seals naturally needed a lot of preparation and work to perfect. The Atlantean seals were different; the movements were much more fluid, but it placed a lot more emphasis on the energy output and control.


Gu Xiaoyue did not need to worry about that as someone with so much talent for magic. She had been born with a natural affinity for magic, which was proven in her months in the Academy.


Xiao Lin was lacking compared to Gu Xiaoyue on that front, since he had always placed his focus on his swordsmanship. That was why the moment he reached that world, he did not hesitate to activate both Miracle and Ruin, which greatly raised his perception of energy.


The three of them did not care at all that they were constantly falling as their hands constantly moved, putting all their focus on gathering and channeling the energy in the air and activating the final part of their sealing spell.


Xiao Lin was a bit nervous, but his nervousness was set aside when he felt the shocking amount of energy in this world. Just taking a breath would fill once with seemingly inexhaustible energy.


Energy referred to natural energy, death energy, elemental energy and other similar things on Planet Norma, and once Xiao Lin returned to Earth, he could still feel all of that, but it was much more scarce. He had thought that it was caused by the different natures of the two planets, but unexpectedly, during Atlantean times, the energy density was even higher than that of Planet Norma.


Poseidon immediately sensed the location of Xiao Lin and the others. He had already somewhat felt the presence of a strange aura from the hole in the wall of time, but that was the first time he laid eyes on the three intruders. The three of them included Silverlight. Since she needed to cast the sealing spell, Silverlight had gone into her solid form.


Poseidon was startled for a moment before relaxing. To him, opponents that he could see were much easier to deal with than those he could not. He then revealed a manic smile. Whoever the intruders were, he was confident he could destroy them.


Poseidon immediately readied his plans in his head, smiling coldly as he turned around. He could tell that the injured black dragon in front of him was still a much bigger threat than the falling trio, so he decided to finish off the biggest problem before proceeding.


That seemingly obvious decision had led Poseidon to lose his best and last chance. After a few seconds, he raised his trident to finish off the black dragon, but he felt something as he did. A flash of confusion could be seen on his face. Poseidon was not called the Sea G.o.d for nothing. He immediately realized what was happening.


In his shock, he let out an enraged cry, immediately tossing the dragon aside. He shot through the air like a cannon, causing waves hundreds of meters tall to form.


“He noticed!”


“We can still make it!”


“Now is the time! Quickly throw the seal out!”


The few of them shouted at each other in midair, but the roaring winds caused them to be unable to make anything out. However, when Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue noticed that Silverlight’s hands started to glow, they understood it was time to take action. It was the sign they had planned beforehand.


Poseidon was extremely quick, but Xiao Lin and the others managed to seize the initiative thanks to their preparations. They clapped their hands together and started to glow. When they separated their hands, a light started to emit from their palms, silently floating in front of them.


Poseidon had the ability to fly, but Xiao Lin and the others did not. After releasing the light orbs they continued falling downward. When they were about a kilometer away from the b.a.l.l.s of light, the orbs suddenly glowed intensely. Poseidon had his attention completely on those light spheres, and when they exploded, his trident was only inches away.


Poseidon did not stand a chance anymore.


The b.a.l.l.s of light started to emit a light blue glow, giving out endless light and warmth. The light shot through the dark clouds in the sky as the heat blew away the coldness of the sea. The rings of light that formed seemed to have a paralyzing effect. Poseidon, who was caught within the rings, froze in midair, unable to move at all.


After restricting Poseidon, the shape of the orbs started to change, from spherical into sharp, uneven objects. All three b.a.l.l.s started to produce a thin line, and the line quickly reached the chests of Xiao Lin and the others, shooting right into them before they could even react.


Xiao Lin was shocked to find that the speed of his descent was starting to slow as a strange suction was being emitted by the threads of light, finally allowing him to float in the air. He touched his chest, and the ray of light seemed to have merged with his body perfectly, not leaving any trace of harm on his skin.


Stopping in the air caused Xiao Lin to feel quite dizzy. It was not that he had a fear of heights. It was because of the string of light. Based on what Silverlight had said, for the price to pay for sealing someone so much more powerful than them, they needed to pay with their own lives. Even though Silverlight did not explain it in detail, Xiao Lin could feel the energy leaving his body, siphoning through the light into the orbs in the air.


However, it was not the time to think about all that. Based on what Silverlight said, it was still only the first stage of sealing. They had basically done the first stage perfectly, and the restricted Poseidon had temporarily lost his power.


Xiao Lin and the others had used their lives in exchange for that valuable time. In terms of power, Poseidon far exceeded all of them, but their souls were still equal. Poseidon would need to completely ascend from his current level to break the restrictions.


It was obvious that Poseidon could not, but the power of the restrictions were not absolute. To put things simply, even if they were equal, they might be able to restrict Poseidon for a few minutes, but not longer. Poseidon possessed much a stronger life force than they did, and once the time was up, they would be unable to stand up to Poseidon.
