Chapter 82: Seal breaks
Wei Long narrowed his reptilian eyes as he observed the trio before him. He had no reason to rush. Instead, he simply asked, "How strong is this so-called patriarch of yours?"
Elder Bao, maintaining her bow, responded with a subdued voice, "The Patriarch is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, far beyond the likes of us."
Wei Long grinned, his sharp dinosaur teeth glistening under the dim light. "Peak Foundation Establishment, huh?" He let out a deep chuckle. "Then, I suppose I'll wait."
Ignoring the elders before him as though they were mere insects, Wei Long turned toward Xi Na.
"Xi Na, I remember, I didn't give you your job properly, right? Your job is to locate more of these so-called 'high-level sects' for me. If the Autumn Dragon Sect struggles to find demonic sects for me, then you will help me hunt them down instead. I need food—plenty of it. If the current prey isn't enough, we'll expand our menu. After all, I only grow stronger and better the more I consume."
Xi Na nodded hesitantly, her gaze flickering between Wei Long and the still-bowing elders.
Wei Long, however, did not even acknowledge their presence.
He continued speaking to Xi Na, his voice filled with casual arrogance, detailing every intricate way in which they would use the sects for their own benefit.
"The way I see it," Wei Long said, "these so-called demonic sects are nothing but well-fed cattle. All we need to do is corral them. It's not just about eating, either. There's something to be said about having a steady supply. If I eat too quickly, I might not fully digest my prey's essence. But if I take my time... well, that's where the real benefits come in."
Xi Na listened intently, but the trio of elders exchanged uneasy glances.
They had never encountered such a monstrous way of thinking.
It was as if Wei Long viewed their entire sect structure as nothing more than a hunting ground.
The sheer confidence and the lack of hesitation in his words sent a chill down their spines.
Suddenly, Wei Long turned his attention to the new arrival, the fourth figure who had approached quietly but whom the other three elders regarded with immense respect. "And you?" Wei Long asked, his massive reptilian eyes locking onto the man. "What's your cultivation?"
The fourth elder straightened his posture, a hint of pride in his expression. "I am Elder Xang," he announced. "I am at the Early Foundation Establishment Realm."
Wei Long grinned again, his dinosaur mouth twisting into a cruel smirk. "Then that means you're strong enough to get out of my way."
Without another word, Wei Long slammed his massive tail against the formation that enclosed them.
A deafening shockwave erupted, shaking the very ground beneath them.
The elders visibly flinched, their hands tightening into fists.
The formation, crafted with immense precision, held firm.
Wei Long, however, was unfazed. Instead, he laughed. "Oh? Still standing?" His voice was dripping with amusement. "Let's see how long that lasts."
He slammed his tail again.
And again.
And again.
Each impact sent tremors through the earth, shaking the trees, rattling the stones, and making the air itself quiver.
The formation flickered, its glowing lines of energy rippling with stress.
The trio of elders watched with mounting horror, realizing that the formation they once considered unbreakable was trembling under Wei Long's relentless assault.
Elder Xang, who had remained composed until now, furrowed his brows. He had never seen anything like this. "This shouldn't be possible," he murmured. "Even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator would struggle to shake this formation so easily."
Wei Long let out another guttural laugh. "Is that so? Then let's test it a little more!"
He coiled his powerful legs and launched himself upward.
The sky darkened as his massive dinosaur form descended like a meteorite, crashing onto the formation with unrelenting force.
The impact sent cracks sprawling across the barrier's surface.
The trio of elders gasped.
The formation had been specifically crafted to withstand prolonged attacks, yet here it was, fracturing under the might of a single beast.
Wei Long didn't stop. He continued, slamming his tail, claws, and even his dinosaur head against the formation over and over, each strike more brutal than the last.
Each time, the cracks widened, the energy lines flickering more erratically.
Elder Xang's expression darkened. "We need to reinforce the formation—"
But before he could act, another thunderous impact resounded through the air.
This time, the formation groaned under the strain.
The cracks deepened, jagged lines of light breaking apart like shattered glass.

Wei Long grinned sadistically. "Oh? So it does break." He rolled his shoulders, tail swaying behind him. "Then let's see how long it takes before it shatters completely."
Elder Bao clenched her fists. "This is madness…"
Elder Huo's eyes darted to the sky. "The Patriarch must arrive soon… or else…"
Xi Na, watching the battle unfold, was silent. Yet a part of her knew—the moment the formation fell, there would be no stopping Wei Long.
She didn't know what was happening, but she never expected that the Wei Long that she met would be this strong.
The moment the four demonic elders realized that brute force alone wouldn't stop this monstrous beast, they acted in unison.
Their hands flickered through a rapid series of intricate seals, their Qi surging in tandem as they formed yet another sealing formation around Wei Long.
The ground beneath them pulsed with a dark glow as layered runes burned into existence, forging an intricate cage of shifting barriers meant to contain and suppress even a peak Foundation Establishment expert.
Yet, before the formation could solidify completely, Wei Long let out a guttural growl, his massive, muscular tail sweeping forward like a battering ram.
The entire barrier trembled under the sheer force of the impact, spiderweb cracks appearing along its surface.
"Hold it down!" Elder Bao screamed, gritting her teeth as she poured even more of her Qi into the formation.
The other three followed suit, their robes fluttering wildly as the sheer energy of their combined power struggled to suppress the beast before them.
But Wei Long only let out a deep, rumbling chuckle.
This is fun.
With a low, predatory crouch, his dinosaur body surged forward again.
His thick, scaled skull smashed against the formation with even greater force, sending shockwaves through the entire area.
The ground splintered beneath his clawed feet, and the air itself quivered as the structure of their carefully constructed formation warped and groaned under the relentless onslaught.
Crack.
A thin, nearly imperceptible fracture ran through the center of the barrier.
Elder Xang's face went pale. "It's breaking—"
Before he could finish, Wei Long's tail swung again, this time with the explosive force of a charging beast.
The formation let out a piercing screech, its structure unable to withstand the sheer brutality of Wei Long's relentless assault.
Boom!
It shattered, sending fragments of spiritual energy scattering like glass shards in every direction. The four elders staggered back, momentarily stunned.
"How—?!" Elder Xun's voice quivered. "That… That was a reinforced triple-layered suppression array! Even if a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator were inside, they'd—"
But before they could fully process the sheer absurdity of what they had just witnessed, Wei Long had already moved again.
Boom!
Another formation, hastily thrown up in desperation, shattered before it could even stabilize.
Boom!
A third.
Then a fourth.
And each time, the elders grew increasingly frantic.
Their hands flew through ever more complex and powerful techniques, layering new formations upon old ones, trying to reinforce them, trying to make them last just a second longer.
Yet, Wei Long's movements became faster. His strength only grew.
The more formations they built, the more easily he crushed them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each shattering impact sent shockwaves across the land.
Dust and debris filled the air, and the once-stable ground cracked under the sheer force being unleashed.
The darkened forest trembled in fear, the surrounding demonic beasts fleeing in terror at the overwhelming presence of the predator reigning supreme.
At first, the elders had been in disbelief.
Then, they were horrified.
And now, their hands trembled, not from exertion but from an unbearable realization—
This beast was growing stronger with every single blow.
It wasn't just brute force. It was as if each destroyed formation was fueling his growth, feeding into his body, making him faster, tougher, more refined in his movements.
Elder Bao's mind raced. "This… This isn't normal! He's not just breaking through the formations—he's adapting!"
Wei Long stopped for a brief moment, his large, reptilian eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh? You just noticed?"
The elders barely had time to react before he lunged forward.
This time, they went all out.
Desperation fueled their next attempt.
The four of them formed an interwoven matrix of seals, drawing upon every ounce of their cultivated knowledge, constructing a barrier so dense that it shimmered like a solid, impenetrable wall of Qi.
"This is our last chance!" Elder Xang roared. "If he breaks through this one—"
SLAM!
Wei Long didn't hesitate.
His massive tail struck the formation with monstrous force.
It didn't crack immediately.
It held—barely.
The entire structure vibrated violently, pulsing with resistance.
SLAM!
A second hit. The shimmering light of the formation flickered. The elders gritted their teeth, their spiritual energy rapidly draining as they struggled to maintain its integrity.
SLAM!
A third. The formation wobbled dangerously. Cracks spread like veins of lightning across its surface.
And then, with a final, devastating sweep of his tail—
BOOM!
The last barrier shattered like brittle ice.
The sheer force of the explosion sent the four elders sprawling, their robes tattered, their bodies aching from the backlash.
Wei Long stood amidst the wreckage, completely unharmed, his scales gleaming with a terrifying aura.
And then, as the dust settled, he lifted his tail one last time—
And casually smacked the remnants of the final barrier away with a single slap.
THUD.
A deafening silence followed.
The elders stared, their bodies frozen in place.
Their strongest sealing techniques—reduced to nothing.
Their last hope of containment—utterly obliterated.
And standing in the center of it all was the beast they had so foolishly tried to suppress, staring down at them with cold amusement.
Wei Long grinned.
"Try again?"
What do you think?
