Their divinity, spirituality, and even their vitality were rapidly being devoured by the Wannian Platform.
At this moment, the Wannian Platform seemed like a bottomless pit, doing everything in its power to turn them into ordinary people.
The faster their strength drained, the closer the execution tools that had materialized into solid form drew to them.
The duck-voiced man laughed.
“You've really arrived at the perfect time. The Wannian Platform just happens to be in need of a recharge!”
“Four Sequence 4s should be enough to feed it for a while.”
As he spoke, the suction grew even more intense.
But the Sequence 4s were not the type to just accept their fate and wait for death; they immediately began to resist even more violently.
The first to react was that metal statue.
It slowly rose to its feet as a massive amount of metal and electronic appliances flew out from within the Wannian Platform. They melted, disassembled, and transformed into various parts that attached themselves to its body, making it look like a piece of art.
As more and more parts were added, its size grew larger and larger.
A bizarre magnetic field radiated from its body, counterbalancing the suction of the Wannian Platform.
Seeing this, the robust elder decisively dodged.
The others, however, did not dare to do the same. After all, that metal statue clearly didn't look like anything benevolent; they didn't want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.
The giant eyeball in the sky stared intently at the Wannian Platform, while the elder in the suit spread his arms, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.
“The wisdom of our predecessors is truly remarkable, actually coming up with such a perfect arrangement of incantations.”
“Being bound by others all this time must have been very uncomfortable, wasn't it?”
These words were somewhat baffling, and those around him didn't quite understand, but the suction of the Wannian Platform actually paused for a brief moment.
Sensing the anomaly, the duck-voiced man charged straight at the elder in the suit!
At this point, the elder in the suit had already lost a significant amount of his spirituality and divinity to the suction. How could he possibly be a match for the duck-voiced man?
In just a single exchange, one of the arms of the elder in the suit was severed and sent flying, yet he didn't seem to care in the slightest.
“I will help you break your seal right now!”
The smile on the face of the elder in the suit was exceptionally eerie.
Buzz~
The eyeball in the sky suddenly exploded, sending streams of viscous, crimson liquid raining down toward the Wannian Platform.
“Do your job!”
The duck-voiced man roared toward the ground. The elder with tucked sleeves sneered, waving his hand toward the sky as countless handprints shot upward, seemingly trying to swat the red liquid away.
But the moment they made contact, those handprints seemed to gain a consciousness of their own, actively severing their connection with the elder with tucked sleeves and flying off in other directions.
The expression of the elder with tucked sleeves turned incredibly unsightly, for he realized that a portion of his strength had been permanently stripped away.
The duck-voiced elder wanted to fall back to defend, but the elder in the suit, despite having lost an arm, blocked his path.
Even the Wannian Platform, which had been absorbing energy just moments ago, came to a halt, as if it too had sensed something.
“Do your job!!!”
The duck-voiced elder bellowed once more.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Three more Sequence 4s flew in from outside the Wannian Platform.
This was Central City!
How could there not be experts loyal to Qin Qian?
But the moment they entered, they were blocked by the 'steel evil god.'
By now, the steel evil god stood over twenty meters tall, its eyes formed from lightbulbs. Its joints creaked and groaned as it walked, making it look like a chaotic jumble.
Yet, despite its appearance, a single punch from this monstrosity nearly obliterated a Sequence 4!
It was clearly just a pile of scrap metal and ordinary materials.
But at this very moment, the power it unleashed was comparable to a sealed object!
Seeing that these people were unreliable, the duck-voiced elder decided to fly toward the red liquid himself.
As he flew, beams of divinity shot out, attempting to blast the red liquid away.
However, the red liquid was extremely fragile. The moment it made contact with the divinity, it exploded, turning into a vast downpour of red rain that covered an even wider area.
“Ah!!!”
The duck-voiced elder roared, stomping down onto the Wannian Platform. A massive phantom rose behind him, blotting out the sky.
He was indeed of the 【Axeman】 pathway. By dispersing his divinity, he caused his phantom to expand, shielding the entire Wannian Platform to prevent it from being drenched by the blood rain.
Sizzle~
When the blood rain fell upon the phantom, it instantly corroded it, leaving it riddled with countless holes.
The duck-voiced elder turned pale, but fortunately, the suction of the Wannian Platform surged once more, growing even more violent this time!
The two elders of the Shadow Lotus Church and the elder in the suit all wore fierce expressions as they unleashed their divinity and charged toward the duck-voiced elder.
As long as they killed him and broke the seal on the Wannian Platform, Central City would fall into absolute chaos!
Even in the face of a siege, the duck-voiced elder did not flinch. As long as the Wannian Platform remained active, these people would be continuously weakened.
If he could just hold out a bit longer, he would be the sole victor!
Raising the hands of the phantom behind him, the duck-voiced elder unleashed a sky-rending sword that slashed down toward the three of them!
However, due to the red liquid, his strength had inevitably waned a bit.
Fortunately, the three opponents had also been severely drained by the Wannian Platform, so everyone was in a similar state.
Boom!
Their divinities collided violently. The residual shockwaves were devoured by the surrounding execution tools, which drew even closer to the Sequence 4s.
The elder in the suit frowned and said,
“This is a sealed object!”
“Heh, is it really that surprising that there is a sealed object inside the Wannian Platform?”
The two elders of the Shadow Lotus Church charged forward together, pressing their hands toward the phantom!
“Bury!!!”
After a bizarre ripple in the air, the phantom vanished into air, as if it had never existed.
This was precisely the ability of the Killer pathway's Sequence 4, 【Bury】, known as Burying!
It could 'bury' anything within its range of influence!
For instance, light, sound, or even certain laws.
As for whether the burial would succeed, that depended entirely on the opponent's strength.
For example, if the two of them attempted to bury the life of a Sequence 2, they would highly likely be killed by the backlash.
Once a transcendent broke through to become a Demigod, they actually began to touch upon the authority of their pathway.
From Sequence 5 onward, every single advance in Sequence brought a world-shaking change in power.
This was why Yin Yang had said that even a hundred Sequence 5s could not kill a single Sequence 4, because their levels of power were completely different.
With his phantom 'buried,' the duck-voiced elder suffered a backlash of power and spat out a mouthful of blood. Yet, at this moment, he paid it no mind and bellowed,
“Step back!!!”
As those words left his mouth, the three of them, including the elder in the suit, felt momentarily dazed. They subconsciously obeyed the duck-voiced elder's command, only snapping out of it when they had actually taken a step back.
Tyrant's Decree!
After breaking through to Sequence 4, those on the Axeman pathway would master two powers.
First, Tyrant's Decree!
Within its range of influence, lower Sequences would obey their commands unconditionally. For those of the same Sequence, the effect would vary depending on the strength of their spiritual power.
Second, Centralization!
He could mobilize the full power of everyone within his range of influence who obeyed his commands!
Woo, woo, woo~
A low, weeping sound echoed once more. The thousand Imperial Guards beneath the Wannian Platform looked up, their eyes blank. Strands of spirituality were stripped from their bodies, converging behind the duck-voiced elder to form another phantom that was about to envelop the entire Wannian Platform.
Right at that moment, Yin Yang, who was outside the Wannian Platform, suddenly looked up.
“Sacrifice!”
“Dismissing the God!”
