“I told you before, I belong to the Demon Court…” Sarcosuchus’ voice carried an undeniable majesty, emphasizing his statement once again. His tone, now imbued with an unshakable authority, made even Mountain Titan’s expression shift.

The air of superiority exuding from Sarcosuchus was by no means feigned.

At this moment, Sarcosuchus’ voice deepened as he spoke with a grave tone, “Now, allow me to formally introduce myself…

I am Sarcosuchus, the Fourth Divine Beast, one of the Ten Divine Beasts under the Divine Tree of the Demon Court…”

…

Hearing this, Mountain Titan’s face immediately changed.

[The Divine Tree!? Ten Divine Beasts!? This…] Suddenly realizing something, Mountain Titan’s pupils shrunk to the size of pinpoints.

[If what this beast was saying is true, then the Demon Court is far from a Minor Force—it’s something far more terrifying.] And just as Mountain Titan’s suspicions were about to be confirmed…

*Yip…* A deafening cry echoed through the distant starry sky, igniting a monstrous blaze spanning across the sky.

“I am the First Divine Beast under the Divine Tree… Nine Tails…” The eerie voice seemed to penetrate directly into Mountain Titan’s Soul, accompanied by a terrifying aura that was no weaker than Sarcosuchus’, surging straight towards him like a tidal wave.

Even the starry sky erupted with thunderous creaks, as if unable to bear it.

Flames spread across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, intertwining into a colossal fox, howling toward Heaven.

“What’s that!?” With a hint of alarm, Mountain Titan’s expression shifted once more.

This was no ordinary flame. And this presence was definitely not the typical aura.

Even from a distance, Mountain Titan could sense that the Spiritual Energy becoming obscured, almost distorted. For a moment, he thought he heard the sound of chains dragging through the void.

One after another, silver-white chains continued to weave through the flames.

The Chains of Sealing, much like the manifestation of thousands of mountains and peaks behind Mountain Titan, were the manifestation of Nine Tails’ mastery over the art of ‘Sealing.’

As a matter of fact, Yu Zi Yu’s Gears of Time was also a manifestation of his understanding of a Dao.

The deeper one’s comprehension, the more terrifying the manifestation would become.

If one’s comprehension reached the absolute peak, their thoughts and auras could even materialize, bringing their power from the ethereal realm into the material world.

At that point, they would be close to breaking through to Tier-7 and achieving Hegemony.

…

At this moment, watching from afar, Mountain Titan’s face grew increasingly grim. Simply because, all around him, within this section of the starry sky, one silver chain after another wove together, forming a cage that gradually surrounded him.

But this was no ordinary cage—it was massive, too massive.

It spanned millions of kilometers.

By the time Mountain Titan realized it, he was already trapped within this endless cage of silver chains.

“This is the Birdcage… Once caught inside, you’ll be like a caged bird, unable to escape…” Nine Tails’ voice, carrying a faint mockery, echoed as the cage surrounding Mountain Titan slowly began to shrink.

The Birdcage was Nine Tails’ most terrifying Divine Ability, birthed after she ascended to Tier-5.

As her words suggested, if one were trapped in this Birdcage, they would be no different from a caged bird, unable to escape.

Not to mention the current Mountain Titan, even Transcendents more powerful than him, would not be able to shake this formidable Birdcage from the inside.

Mountain Titan seemed to sense this as well, and his expression drastically changed. The Spiritual Energy flowing in the surroundings grew increasingly sluggish. Even its circulation within his body slowed by hundreds of times.

The dazzling glow surrounding the Hundred-Mountains Divine Pillar as it flickered had gradually dimmed as well.

The Birdcage sealed Heaven and Earth.

Inside it, it was as if the age of Spiritual Energy had come to an end, with copious amounts of Spiritual Energy being drained away, and all Principles being forcibly suppressed.

If not for the complexity of initiating this Divine Ability, Nine Tails could stand amongst the peak powerhouses simply by relying on this Divine Ability.

And even now, it was still incredibly potent.

As the Birdcage continued to shrink, its suppressive power grew even more fearsome. Mountain Titan could not even maintain the manifestation behind him.

At that moment…

“I admit I underestimated you, and even more so, I underestimated your Demon Court…” With a cold voice, Mountain Titan took a step towards the edge of the Birdcage. “But that doesn’t mean you can keep me…” Just as he said this, his expression suddenly froze, because at that moment, the hand he had stretched toward the Birdcage, intending to tear it apart, began to dim.

The Spiritual Energy, a staggering amount of Spiritual Energy, was being drained from his arm.

What was even more terrifying…

*Clang, clang…* The sound of chains echoed as the silver-white illusory chains that wove the Birdcage surged towards his body.

“How is this possible!?” His horrified voice quivered as his aura visibly weakened at an alarming rate.

At that moment, if someone could see inside his body, they would find countless silver-white chains weaving through his meridians, gradually sealing the power within him, with complex sigils forming continuously within his body.

His Spiritual Energy became increasingly sluggish…

Until finally…

A colossal figure, completely devoid of Life Force, stood motionless in the starry sky, resembling a statue.

“Hmm…” Nine Tails casually remarked, “I forgot to tell you, the chains that form this Birdcage shouldn’t be touched. They are the physical manifestations of the Principle of Sealing. Touching them with your body is no different from sealing your own power…”

With a playful smile, Nine Tails looked at Mountain Titan, whose expression had completely changed.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for him to heed the warning. The Chains of Sealing had entered his body, which meant he had effectively sealed himself.

And so…

Everything had come to an end.

“Fourth Brother, bring him back to the Demon Court.”

“Yes, Elder Sister.” Responding, the corners of Sarcosuchus’ mouth drew back into a wide grin.

[Mountain Titan was indeed powerful, but against Elder Sister… *Tsk, tsk.* Tough luck for him. Warriors like that are all muscle with no brains are the easiest prey for Elder Sister’s traps. But, it is not just Mountain Titan. Even Golden Monkey, known for his cunningness, runs at the sight of Elder Sister’s Birdcage.

Her Divine Ability, once fully activated, is nearly impossible to escape. Unless someone can defeat Elder Sister from within the Birdcage, or shatter it from the outside, the target is doomed to be sealed away.]
