Chapter 581: The Six Paths Lockdown

This battle was incredibly arduous. Li Hui used a golden needle to summon his early-stage self from the Traveling Realm, but unexpectedly, the leader of the Hongmo Sect employed such powerful techniques that he forcibly repelled the time force, reverting Li Hui to his original form.

In history, those with the largest fists shaped what happened; this was the understanding of all great powers under heaven.

Li Hui felt a deep sense of urgency; if he lost today, it would truly be over. Even if he managed to escape a killing blow, he wouldn’t encounter the summons again when he eventually reached the Traveling Realm. Time would be defined by this moment.

“Die!”

Shang Feiran declared, but a killing intent erupted, and as they exchanged blows, the sea surface collapsed once more, differing from the overwhelming force of the True Demon Path that swept through.

“It’s you, Hongmo Zheng.”

Suddenly, Hongmo Zheng appeared beside Li Hui.

“Brother, it’s good to see you.” Hongmo Zheng’s body trembled, seemingly enduring endless pain. Dark magic wings gradually grew from his back, black spikes protruded from his elbows and knees, his form growing larger, and his face became blurry, like a burnt wax statue, looking extremely tragic.

“What happened? Your fortune can’t even help you control Blood Moni?” Li Hui exclaimed.

Hongmo Zheng sighed, “Blood Moni is terrifying. I don’t know what has been born from the fusion with True Demon Intent; all I can do is slightly disrupt it with my luck. I’ll hold off Shang; just use whatever moves you have.”

Before he finished speaking, Blood Shadow had already lunged forward.

Li Hui gasped at Hongmo Zheng’s speed, realizing that his true demon brother was always on the brink of collapse. Fighting against the leader of the Hongmo Sect might just buy some time.

“Bold!” Shang Feiran reached out, aiming to crush Hongmo Zheng’s skull. Unexpectedly, Blood Shadow split into two, then four, surrounding him in the center, causing a thunderous clamor of punches and kicks.

“Six Paths in Unison, charge!”

Li Hui drew out the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword, forcefully waving it to summon countless purple rays and glimmers of talisman light, awash with shattered Enamel Dragon Crystals and the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Sword.

Soon, green scales appeared on the sea surface; the Green Emperor Yuanhong Vine began to return.

“Clang, clang, clang…” Forty-nine sword-shaped light shadows surged into the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword, while two green vines entwined around the hilt. The square green patterns on the blade spun, rapidly evolving upward, transforming into a purer form that reached the Celestial Talisman Level, dark clouds gathering in the sky as tribulation thunder began to rise.

Standing on the ruined Di Jiang Corpse, Li Hui reached skyward, causing the tribulation thunder to quiet down and vanish completely.

The power summoned by this artifact breakthrough was akin to a salve for the Unrivaled Calamity Master; it didn’t constitute a major boost, only a slight benefit.

The Di Jiang Corpse trembled, and the four previously imprisoned ancestors in the Profound Law Stage prepared to break free. Li Hui quickly made hand seals to guide the Di Jiang Corpse sinking toward the depths of Wan Nest Island.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…” The tremors displaced the water, and the countless formation rings surrounding Wan Nest Island rushed inwards, revealing numerous runes on the Di Jiang Corpse, the results of the Heavenly Talisman Sect disciples over thousands of years.

Li Hui participated in the entire process of crafting the Di Jiang Talisman Corpse, and no one understood its strengths better than him.

“Break, break, break!”

At this moment, the four ancestors felt tremendous pressure but had no choice but to retaliate, shocked as they unleashed their ultimate techniques to fight back.

“Boom…” The chest of the Di Jiang Corpse ruptured, and the four figures emerged in a flurry. Just then, the six beams of light swept past, catching one off guard and causing them to lose at least ten percent of their demonic energy.

As the six beams lashed out again, the four ancestors were better prepared. However, their protective magical items shattered with loud pops, cracking and becoming heavily damaged.

“Slash!” Li Hui unleashed a brilliant beam of sword light, surprisingly layered with runes and Dao principles, boasting a power beyond measure.

Although it was only a single sword light, all four ancestors were struck simultaneously. They spewed forth Reverse Blood, and with the chaotic assault of the six beams, their cultivation fell, and one protective magical item after another crumbled into oblivion. Yet, a more terrifying attack was yet to arrive, as hundred-zhang-long arms descended upon them, accompanied by fiery talisman flames in the shape of golden crows, smashing them into the densely packed formation rings below.

The four intended to join forces, but their landing spots were too far apart. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves amidst the formation rings, forced to defend. The incessant onslaught of the six beams diminished their strength even more.

Li Hui plunged the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword into the forehead of the Di Jiang Corpse, both hands pushing forth layers of shadow, causing billions of runes to rise from the corpse’s insides.

The treasure cabinet of the Six Paths of Reincarnation materialized, only a few zhang in size.

The billions of runes ascending from the Di Jiang Corpse surged like waves into the cabinet, merging with incredible speed and evolving.

“Talisman of the Six Paths, calamity, calamity, calamity… Today, all treasures and spirit treasures on Wan Nest Island shall face tribulation!” Li Hui closed his eyes as the calamity power morphed into a mouth that swallowed the heavens, at its center a silver snake shadow gleamed with a joyous expression.

The earth trembled, and suddenly, the formation rings inside and outside Wan Nest Island decreased by forty percent, allowing the four ancestors to seize the moment to gather together.

Li Hui painstakingly aided the silver snake bracelet in swallowing all treasures and spirit treasures on Wan Nest Island; the silver snake gained the power of creation, while he reaped the talisman power.

The talisman force skyrocketed, hastening the evolution of the billions of runes within the cabinet. Sixty-four shrank down to thirty-two, thirty-two to sixteen, and sixteen to four…

In this way, complexity was simplified, ultimately forming one hundred and eight talismans, quickly arranging into the character for “seal,” emitting a stout, bright light toward the battlefield.

Hongmo Zheng was on the verge of being overwhelmed by Shang Feiran, faltering step by step, and the illuminating beam arrived just in time.

“Crack…” Like a tremendous thunderclap, Shang Feiran’s speed abruptly slowed down, causing him to roar, “What a trivial skill you dare to flaunt before me?”

“Break!” The mighty demonic hand shattered all laws.

The sound rang deafeningly, yet Li Hui remained unscathed while Hongmo Zheng and the four ancestors he brought from the Hongmo Sect screamed in agony, their bodies trembling as their momentum dropped drastically.

“Ridiculous! How dare you hide talisman seals and use them to wipe out enemies under my name!” Shang Feiran’s rage boiled over; he had never encountered such a troublesome curse! No, it was more than a mere curse; the spell on his Dao robe had already formed the Curse on the Other Side.

Li Hui soared into the air, pridefully declaring, “Wrong! It’s not using your hands to eliminate enemies—please, pay attention, Sect Leader Shang.”

Hongmo Zheng fell into the sea, Blood Moni remained in place, and the four ancestors were similarly unscathed. However, their expressions were unusual, some cold, others brutal, cunning, extraordinary, or wicked.

“What is this?” Shang Feiran felt a chill in his heart.

“Slash!” Li Hui exerted immense effort to swing the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword.

The leader of the Hongmo Sect felt an indescribable sword aura sweep by, seizing a significant portion of his tremendous demonic power and three-quarters of his Heavenly Demon Blood—how outrageous!

Blood Moni and the four ancestors appeared ghostly, unable to control themselves as they fell into the treasure cabinet. The five of them occupied different corners, their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Demon Blood and essence of the Traveling Realm magic power slowly descending toward them; as they regained their senses, they simultaneously lunged to seize this opportunity for enlightenment.
