Chapter 3451 Grand Seal ? 'This last thing and I will be finished,' I said to myself and closed my eyes and a moment later, I began. The energy begins to move in the way of supreme combat exercise, which I haven't practiced in more than a year. It was the longest I had ever gone without practicing it. It is not like I didn't want to, but the difficulty is extreme, and I have tried thousands of times. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 The last seal is dammed too difficult. Yes, I have created every seal, except for the last one. I only needed one amethyst seal and I would be finished with the supreme combat exercise, which was very could do it. It is my last chance. After the breakthrough, it will all vanish. One could practice the Supreme Combat Exercise until the Primary stages. In Sovereign Breakthrough, these seals merge in the core. If I hadn't been a captive, I might have waited, but here I couldn't. I will make a breakthrough today with or without a grand seal of supreme combat exercise. I should have waited, seeing how tremendously useful it is for the breakthrough, but I couldn't. I don't want to remain captive anymore; I will make a breakthrough today. If I succeed, then I will escape. If I didn't, then the death will be my escape. I pushed the stray thoughts away and focused on the energy, which started to slow down the further I circulated it, till it had reached snail speed, where keeping it moving became a challenge. This is the step where I always stopped. It is becoming nearly impossible for me to move the energy forward. This time, I will not stop, even if I didn't create a seal. I want to take it to the wall at least. It will mean I have achieved something, and I have the potential to break the last wall. So, I pushed the energy with every bit of my will, pushed it like my life depended on it. The energy begins to move forward; its speed is barely visible, but it is moving and that is all that matters. Stopping is not allowed. Once I stop, even for a second, I will have to start over, and I don't want to start over. This is the only time I will do it and I want to reach the wall at least and I will do it. Time passed as I continued to move the energy forward. Every second it was getting difficult, but I kept pushing with every ounce of my will. Not caring about the strain, it was putting my body and soul on that I had started bleeding from my orifices. I didn't know how long it passed, but I reached the last circuit. The furthest I had ever reached. Now, I have to finish it, and I will reach the wall. It is a monumental task, but the one I will have to do. So, I grit my teeth, as hard as I can, and continue to push. Evert second, I want to use the formation inside my core. Which I had created a few months ago, along with a concoction, that will give me soul-breaking pain. I have created most of the seals when I am in pain. Though, I don't think, the pain will great motivator here; the last seal is all about the power of will. No external factor will help me with this, not even the soul breaking pain. Only the will is useful here. It is not like I had not tried the methods, I did hundreds of times, but all failed. The formation and concoction I have would also fail, even if it is the strongest one, I had created. Finally, I reached close; I was now just a step away from the wall and I had spent nearly all my will, and I just wanted to stop, but I didn't. Instead, I mustered every fiber of will I have for the final push. I only need to touch the seal, not break it. To break the seal, the powerful momentum was necessary, and I could barely move the energy forward. So I didn't even think about creating the momentum powerful enough to break the seal. My goal is to touch the seal and nothing more. The energy moved with everything I had and finally touched the wall. Seeing that, a tired smile appeared on my face. I have accomplished it; I may not have broken the wall, but I have touched it. A thing, that I did not think I would be able to achieve, but I did it. Crack I was about to let go of the energy when I heard the familiar cracking voice making my eyes go wide. Crack Crack Crack… I thought I thought I was hallucinating, but I heard it again before I saw the cracks in the wall, and they were spreading rapidly. One, two, three, they spread like a spiderweb in all directions. BANG! I watched it all in shock as I saw the cracks covered the whole wall before I heard the most beautiful voice. The wall broke down with a rumbling bang, and a moment later, the amethyst seal began to form. I didn't dare to believe I had done it. I had created the last amethyst seal, and with it; I had successfully practiced the supreme combat exercise, that extremely few people do. I still can't believe it is happening; I thought momentum is necessary to break it. That is how I had created all the seals till now, but this time it is different. It seemed like the books had some truth in them. They said the last is seal is the greatest challenge of will, and it is different for everybody. It even said that before didn't have to circulate fully, before the gate of the last seal was broken. Those lucky bastards! I was so lost in joy; that I wasn't able to notice that amethyst seal asking for the energy. Thankfully, my clone reacted and provided it with the energy it needed. In less than a minute, the amethyst seal formed, and I began to think whether it would release the energy or hold it till the breakthrough. If it had been any other breakthrough, I would have thought it would hold back. Like it did in so many of my breakthroughs, after I reached the limit, but this breakthrough is different. Here, they will vanish before the breakthrough is finished. Buzz! I was thinking that, when the seal buzzed and released the energy, but since my body was at the limit, it didn't accept the energy. In a few seconds, the amethyst seal stopped and went back to nine other amethyst seals. As for the energy, it is floating around the body, like the lonely wanderer, with not a single part of me willing to absorb it. I was just thinking that when the ten amethyst seals begin to spin in a circle. Their spinning got faster and faster before they turned blur and got closer and closer before becoming one. For nearly a minute, nothing happened before the color of the blur began to change. From the amethyst, it started to change into crystalline red. Finally, the spinning stopped, and a beautiful ruby seal revealed itself. Buzz! It glittered beautifully before releasing an immense amount of dense crystalline energies in a vast amount. Ruby seal does not absorb the energies from the host. It absorbed one of the worldly energies that is most suitable to host. Still, no matter how powerful and suitable energy it is releasing. My body and soul have no interest in absorbing it. Usually, the ruby seal's energy stretches the limit, even if the one is at the limit, but my condition is different. I have already stretched my limit to the limit; I don't think my limit could be stretched any further by anything. To be honest, I was getting worried and asked my clone to make a plan to deal with these energies, which were absorbed into the core. I would store it till the breakthrough and, if succeeded, absorbed it back. Six minutes and seventeen seconds later, the ruby seal stopped and went back to the other nine ruby seals. It had filled my body with energy; there is not a corner there, where there isn't a ruby energy present. A moment after the ruby seal took it, it began to move with the other nine seals and I started to feel excited. The ten ruby seals will form a grand seal; the most amazing of all. I have read so much about it and saw how much it helps in breakthroughs. In the past year, I had never thought I would have a grand seal, but now I will very soon. The ruby seals turned blurry and merged into the one before the color began to change. Time passed by and the spinning got faster and faster. I could faintly feel that the seal was absorbing the energy, so powerful that it shook me. The grand seal is on a different level and the energy it uses is on a different level as well. It is said that, like a ruby seal, it will absorb the energy that is most suited for the host, but it levels above what a ruby seal absorbs. I am thankful that the seals didn't create any phenomena and their absorption is silent. It is very hard below Prime to sense anything. Minutes passed and finally, the spinning stopped and the prime seal revealed itself. "So beautiful," I uttered, seeing the seal. It is a complex one and looks like it is made of thousands of delicate ribbons made of diamond. Its color is not something one would describe as beautiful, but on the seal, the wood color looks striking. Evert grand seal is different; It is said to be dependent on the host. The only thing the grand seal has in common is its diamond nature. The shape may be different, color may be different, but the diamond remained constant. This is why the grand seal is also known as a diamond seal. Buzz! The diamond seal floated on its spot for a few seconds, before it buzzed and started releasing the energy, or rather, woody mist. It is dense at all, as one might expect; it is quite light. That would be visible, but wouldn't obstruct the view. It entered my body, and I made formation ready; since there is barely any space in my body for any energy. Hun! I was about to activate the formation and started sucking the energy, when, to my shock, I noticed the mist is seeping into my body and soul effortlessly. It is not just seeping into it, but also merging with it. I could feel my strength rising rapidly, and it was not the only thing it was doing. It is also taking the forbidden power in me to my deepest depths. I also noticed the energy of the amethyst seal and ruby seal sticking into this light mist and going into my body. For a while, I wasn't able to think much at all and I didn't even try to. I only watched. Time passed, and the light mist continued to come out of the seal and enter my body; it continued for over half an hour before my body started to resist. The resistance became greater and greater, till it stopped taking any more of mist and it returned to the diamond seal. A moment later, a shine on the diamond disappeared, and it took the center place in my temple. I looked at the seal for a while before turning to my body and soul. I have no words. The only thing I could say was that if I came out of this slime right now. Nobody would be able to do anything to me, not even that Earth Sovereign.
