The black chains closed in on Bao Gang. At this point, he looked like a gigantic wave of golden sparkles. He had previously been held back by barriers, but those had all their spiritual energy removed, so without anything to power them, they disappeared.
But now the chains were closing in.
Gasping for breath, the bald, bearded man was on all fours, having just used his centuries of cultivation to fuel a barrier in order to give the elders time to finish their sealing spell. His beard began to rapidly turn white, and his body started withering away.
Having lost his cultivation, old age would now kill him within minutes.
“Hah! Lucifer, I might be dying, but you will be sealed away again! Do you recognize this spell? The same one that allowed us to rid you of your mortal body and trap your soul for over 500 years!”
The man keeled over, lying on the ground, but he had now stopped breathing heavily. In fact, he had stopped breathing at all.
By this time, the chains had reach Bao Gang. They not only covered the sky, but also the ground.
With his spiritual sense he could sense that the chains extended underground.
The chains did not move the ground though, they seemed to not have any effect on the dirt.
They seemed corporeal to his spiritual sense, but illusory in that they did not actually affect physical objects.
Bao Gang tested this by moving one of the golden sparkles into the path of the chains, and another into a gap between the chains which seemed to cover heaven and earth.
Neither experienced any adverse effects. In fact, the golden sparkles began draining the spiritual energy which made up the chains. Even the sparkle which had not touched the chains did this, as there seemed to be a barrier, with the same properties as the chains, in between the chains. This would serve to make this sealing spell undodgeable, even if one were small enough to fit through the gaps between chains.
From the words of the bald, bearded man, and his observations of its interaction with matter, this sealing spell did not have any effect on the physical, but specially targeted the soul sea.
For most cultivators, this would be the most dangerous spell. A normal cultivator would be unable to block such a sealing spell because it could not be affected by physical objects; it would pass right through them.
Then, the chains would lock the soul sea of those within the spell, preventing them from putting up resistance.
For Lucifer especially, because from his memories, Bao Gang saw that Lucifer could heal injuries quickly, using the spiritual energy absorbed from others. Without such a spell, the elders of the Angel’s Justice Sect wouldn’t be able to deal with Lucifer because of his high endurance.
If a single elder got caught by Lucifer, Lucifer would recover. But the elder of the Angel’s Justice sect would not be able to do the same, and after being injured, would not be able to heal like Lucifer.
The memories which Bao Gang absorbed from Lucifer had not shown up till the part where he had been subdued by the Angel’s Justice Sect, but presumably after the spell was cast, the chains locked his soul sea, disconnecting it from his physical body, which left him helpless. The elder’s had then separated his soul sea and body and trapped his soul sea in the Infernal prison.
The Angel’s Justice sect would have been unable to truly kill Lucifer because his soul sea had been separated from his physical body. Killing his physical body would no longer have any effect on his soul sea, so they would be unable to destroy his soul sea without using soul attacks. The problem is that the chains of sealing would not allow a soul sea to pass through it. A soul attack would require contact between soul seas, so the elders of the Angel’s Justice sect would be unable to attack Lucifer’s soul sea without dissipating the chains of sealing.

But if the chains of sealing were to be dissipated and the soul attack failed, the elders would no longer be able to trap Lucifer’s soul sea, and he might be able to escape and possess another body. Not to mention, if they attacked Lucifer’s soul sea, he would undoubtedly be able to do the same to them, which would risk the lives of even more elders. Keep in mind that they had already lost 80% of them.
The elders simply had no choice other than sealing away Lucifer’s soul sea permanently.
But Bao Gang was not Lucifer. He had fully activated God’s blood. His soul sea had been split into innumerable soul sea imprints which had then been embedded into each sparkle of God’s blood.
Not even flame laws could destroy the God’s blood and the soul sea imprints embedded inside it. How could a sealing spell powered off of spiritual energy, which is weaker than spiritual energy, be able to destroy the soul sea imprints?
What ended up happening was that the God’s blood had a similar nature to the chains and was thus able to interact with it. It is somewhat illusory due to it being made up partly of a soul sea imprint, but also a physical object.
The God’s blood contained the soul sea, and when the chains tried to trap the soul sea imprints, the God’s blood was able to interact with it, and thus absorbed the spiritual energy which made up the chains.
Having discovered that the black chains had no danger to him, Bao Gang once again sent out the golden sparkles to cover the sealing spell and began absorbing it.
Soon, the chains disappeared, having been fully drained of spiritual energy.
Bao Gang reformed his body into a figurine with a height of about 3 inches. This was not the same shape as his old body(the one he had before the God’s blood body). When he had realized he had a new body made out of God’s blood, it had come with a certain body shape. It did not look similar to his old body, but was one that seemed to be built into the God’s blood. Bao Gang could more easily form this body shape, and additionally felt as though he was more powerful in this shape. This form at least doubled his movement speed compared to when he took on the form of innumerable golden sparkles.
The elders of the Angel’s Justice Sect stared on speechlessly. Now they knew the terror of “Lucifer”. The spell which they had cast together had no effect on “Lucifer!”
Bao Gang of course had realized by now that he was on planet Angel’s Justice. The fact that the planetary spiritual energy and scenery matched Lucifer’s memories of the planet left no doubt that he was now fighting the Angel’s Justice sect.
But Bao Gang would not say that he was not Lucifer.
Not only did he have a similar absorption ability, but he also caused a crisis at the Immortal Mountain sect(the details of the crisis were not yet known by the Angel’s Justice sect). Other than Lucifer, who would do this?
And even if Bao Gang were to tell the elders, they would not believe him.
Bao Gang quickly flew away from the elders, zipping between two of the ones who he perceived to be weaker, and into the forest. Inside the forest, Bao Gang would be much safer because of his small size as well as his undetectability.
When he had spread out the God’s blood all around the Immortal Mountain sect, it had not been detected.
Even when some of the xiantian(gaseous core) realm cultivators of the Immortal Mountain sect had realized something was wrong, they could not detect what it was, even with their spiritual sense. They had only discovered him after there was a commotion. Clearly, his God’s blood could not be easily detected by spiritual sense.
The white-haired man, the sectmaster, quickly recovered from his shock and took out an ebony box, opening up the top and quickly flying after Bao Gang.
While Bao Gang was fast, he was nowhere near the speed of the sectmaster.
Within seconds, the sectmaster was right behind Bao Gang and attempted to cover him with the ebony box, trapping Bao Gang.
Bao Gang split up into millions of golden sparkles, flying in every direction, but at least 10% of his body had been caught in the box.
Inside the box, there was only darkness. The golden sparkles bashed against the top of the box, but it did not budge. 10% of his body had been trapped inside the box!
Now Bao Gang knew exactly how vulnerable he was, even with an undying body. He could be trapped and sealed just as Lucifer had been!
