Chapter 256
Ocean waves surged beneath sweeping, gale-force winds. Through the Nine Eyes sealing web, Lin Hui continuously sliced and shattered the monstrous bird trapped inside. In the process, he had been inadvertently caught by the creature's Super Divine Speed, leaving multiple gashes across his body.
His mind-spirit was rapidly depleting. Two grueling hours later, his Ruyi sword reduced the monstrous bird to pulverized fragments for the one thousand eight hundredth time.
Only then did the emerald beams of the Nine Eyes rapidly contract. They formed an orb of light that instantly shot into a small eye on his shoulder.
"No! Impossible! How could I be—" the Mistborn roared in disbelief. Its voice broke off as it finally lost consciousness, sinking into a deep slumber.
The Spirit-Sealing Array forced the trapped creature into a permanent slumber. This seal would last for nine hundred years.
Hovering high in the sky, Lin Hui looked exhausted. He finally retracted his Clear Source Law Body and inspected his physical condition.
His arms had been sapped of nearly all their strength, and his chest bore over thirty gashes from stray hits. Even with his body tempered far beyond human limits, his physical resilience still fell somewhat short of a Mistborn's.
In the creature's final desperate throes—sensing the seal closing around it—its struggles had grown ferocious beyond reason. Had his Surrounding Wind not strengthened alongside his mastery of Wind Force, he would have walked away with far worse than a handful of gashes.
Still, I've finally tested the true limits of a Mistborn, he thought. They cannot be killed—only sealed.
