Condemning the Heavens Chapter 498

Chapter 498: 498
Lan was at first surprised, but he quickly understood the reason . As an Overlord, if he was allowed to roam free in the Ghost Realm, then no one would know how the world could end up .
However, if he allowed them to seal his powers, he would not be exceedingly strong, and thus he would be unable to cause much damage .
Although he did not know much about the Ghost Realm, he was very familiar with the sealing technique that the ox-headed man referred to .
This seal was not left there by the Ghost Realm itself; it would require Lan to seal his own power, which was also why he would be able to unlock it slowly after adjusting to the realm .
However, although he could put the seal on himself, he would not be able to break it . Even if he encountered a life-threatening situation, the power he had sealed away would not be unleashed . This kind of seal was the most ruthless towards oneself, but it was needed in some cases .
Lan squinted as he looked at the ox-headed man . He could imagine that if he declined, then he would be kicked out from the Ghost Realm, and thus he reluctantly nodded his head in agreement .
Xue Wei was not too surprised . Even if it ended up costing Lan his life, he was not willing to let go of the final chance to meet his lover, Li Zhiqing, again .
Although this meant that Xue Wei had one less guarantee to return alive, he was not panicked . He understood that while Lan could save him once or twice, it was not wise to put all the trust in another being .
He did not want to become dependent on others; he wanted to rely on his own strength to stand tall, and if he truly got used to having Lan and his overwhelming power around, then if he suddenly vanished, wouldn't he become useless?
The ox-headed man was once again amazed by Xue Wei and Lan's demeanor . They were not panicked or scared; they took things as they came with their heads held high, and with an inborn pride and arrogance which could not be concealed .
He could not help but feel excited about what changes these two figures would bring to the Ghost Realm . Would they be able to adjust, or would the constant battle in the world consume them?
He did not know why, but he felt extremely excited as he looked at them, and both Lan and Xue Wei felt a shiver run down their spines . It seemed that their trip to the Ghost Realm was not going to be simple .
Looking at the ox-headed man, Lan did not waste any time . He cut his wrist, and blood began oozing out . He placed his finger on the wound and drew a strange rune in the air in front of him with the bloody finger .
The blood from the finger was infused with energy, and soon the rune had been finished . It glittered with a malicious red gleam, and Xue Wei could feel a strong fluctuation of energy coming from it .
With a flicker of Lan's hand, the rune shot onto his forehead, and the red light enveloped his entire body .
The light increased in intensity, growing more and more overwhelming, alongside an energy ripple that made Xue Wei breathless .
The pressure on the surrounding areas grew increasingly oppressive, Xue Wei felt how his body was starting to become difficult to control, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead . He was beginning to feel uncomfortable, but suddenly the discomfort vanished .
Lan, who previously had been a handsome man with blue hair and attractive eyes, had now become a small blue snake with four wings, a mingshe .
The only thing that made it so that Xue Wei instantly could recognize him were the eyes . They had the same color as the ones of the previous Lan . At the same time, a veil of mystery still surrounded him, but the strength was much lower .
Xue Wei would previously not have been capable of sensing Lan's presence . Whenever he wanted to speak with him, he would have to look at him in order to locate him; it was also important to have him within one's line of sight .
If he was not in one's line of sight, it was impossible to sense him . However, now he could sense his presence . It was clear that the seal had been created successfully .
The ox-headed man nodded his head in approval . To see someone so decisive was quite refreshing, and he said no more before he turned and vanished into the air, leaving the two intruders alone .
Lan and Xue Wei glanced at one another . They saw the smile on the other's face and began walking into the distance . They had no aim, no path, and no knowledge of how to find Li Zhiqing, but they believed that in one way or another, it would become possible for them to succeed .
