Chapter 695: The Restless Demons and Spirits

Li Hui’s skills were exceptional as he quickly dealt with the avatars of the Traveling Realm Demon Cultivators. Suddenly, Prime Minister Turtle laughed heartily, “A few fools have walked right into the tip of the sword. Unfortunately, this fragment of the Heaven-overturning Seal can only be used a few times.”

“It’s alright, I will draw a Source of Taiyin Talisman, using the forces of time and Taiyin to summon back the power of the Heaven-overturning Seal. Once this fragment shatters, I’ll immediately fuse it into the talismans to create a Celestial Talisman, which could reach about seventy to eighty percent of its full power with a Heart Talisman’s boost,” Li Hui exclaimed suddenly, “Oh?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a ball of blue light from the body of the leading Demon Cultivator, staring at it for a long time before asking Prime Minister Turtle, “Senior, can you help me identify this? Is this the Wubao Yuanjue Light?”

“Oh? You call it Wubao Yuanjue Light? In the Heavenly Realm, it’s known as Wuhua Lingjue Light. This light can transform into five colors, each containing a terrifying power. If the five colors suddenly explode together, everything within ten thousand miles would instantly turn to sludge. The harm to cultivators is even greater, like maggots clinging to bones, never dying and scattering, with their souls likely to be lost.”

“Yes, it’s that thing,” Li Hui grinned and said, “Combining this Wuhua Lingjue Light with the Heaven-overturning Seal might allow me to create an artifact. As long as the talisman power is sufficient, I think all my efforts would be worth it.”

Prime Minister Turtle nodded with approval, “Talisman methods truly are profound and extensive, their application in handling the world far exceeds that of previous generations. Could this be the evolution of the Dao? Quick, prepare yourself; there are many who watch you in secret.”

“I know, the real danger hasn’t arrived yet.” Li Hui cast a few glances toward the shadows, sat down, and took out his talisman brush and talisman paper. He then suddenly accelerated the flow of time, making all his movements unbelievably fast.

In just a few breaths, he created a large seal made from numerous talismans, carefully storing it in his robe before cleaning up the scattered spoils. He grinned and flew deeper underground.

Before long, a figure emerged from the shadows, looking down at the direction where Li Hui had vanished, muttering to itself, “What a leader of the Heavenly Talisman Sect! His mastery in talisman methods truly seems against the heavens. He has found a way to recreate the might of ancient immortal tools. These six avatars cannot do anything to him, but if those six Traveling Realm cultivators come in their true forms, it might be more interesting.”

Suddenly, the figure swiftly dodged as a faint sword shadow swept by.

At that moment, three figures floated in, with the leading man possessing a handsome appearance, carrying a Pure Yang Sword on his back. He was Lü Chunyang, a divine cultivator from the Wutu Continent, flanked by his two companions, He Dongting and Xiao Jingshan.

“Evil and heretical forces must be exterminated!” Lü Chunyang said, pinching a talisman between his fingers, “Sect Leader Li has sent us a message, saying to help deal with those behind him. Unfortunately, you escaped quickly, leaving only an avatar.”

“Hiss…” The figure flicked out a serpent-like tongue, its face revealing many dragon scales, and muttered, “Mind your own business! You’re living dangerously if you dare to ruin Ancestor Yan Jiao’s plans.”

“Ancestor Yan Jiao?” The three wrinkled their brows simultaneously. Others might not know, but they were aware that Ancestor Yan Jiao was an ancient deity. Any ancient deity surviving to this era was extraordinary, and while Changsheng Tian’s deity belonged to someone who started cultivation later, Ancestor Yan Jiao was a legitimate divine cultivator.

The three of them felt great trepidation. Even though they had lived for a long time, they were equivalent to the later descendants of Ancestor Yan Jiao. They wondered why Sect Leader Li had provoked such a powerful enemy, and their future looked grim!

“Hehe, are you scared?” the figure said with a smug laugh. “I’m just a gopher; I don’t want to make things hard for Sect Leader Li. The true masters wanting to trouble him are different. I’ve heard not only Ancestor Yan Jiao is involved, but several other Great Powers are eyeing Li Yingjun. After all, he extracted the entire continent’s vitality right before everyone’s eyes! He’s sitting on a feast!”

“Hmph!” Lü Chunyang waved his hand, obliterating the figure. This person was indeed a mere lackey, but even a lackey like this was difficult to deal with. Just imagine how terrifying the real enemies would be! He needed to inform Li Hui to be cautious.

Just as news reached him, Li Hui had already engaged in battle… At the moment he fell into the Inferno, countless wooden spikes came at him, and the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique conjured flames that burned the air. To his surprise, the wooden spikes became even more formidable after being scorched to ashes.

“Cough, cough, wood dust.”

Ashes floated from all directions, and these ashes suddenly reignited, transforming into fresh green and growing wherever they landed, quickly filling the area with fuzzy greenery.

Six beams of light erupted from behind Li Hui as he exerted all his strength to clear the wooden dust that had infiltrated his body, but the results were minimal! If it weren’t for his Ideal Body being so strong, along with the Qi of Taiqing constantly purging the rapidly growing wood tufts, he might have already fainted by now.

“When did I get ambushed? Before I fell into the Inferno? No, I was struck the moment I entered underground. The toxicity intensified along the way, and this wood dust somehow evaded my spiritual sense and Bai Ze’s divine eye.”

Until now, the enemy had not revealed themselves, but they had dealt Li Hui a severe blow. They didn’t attack lightly; once they moved, they left him no escape.

Without a sound, the suspended ashes rapidly grew, initially forming green fuzz, then sprouting numerous delicate roots.

Li Hui had to admit that using underhanded tactics against him was far better than a direct confrontation, raising their odds of success by at least thirty percent. If he didn’t have suitable means to eliminate the wood tufts soon, it wouldn’t be long before his flesh and blood turned into nutrients, morphing into an extraordinary big tree.

The enemy still hadn’t shown themselves, nor had they spoken, revealing themselves to be a cautious character.

At this point, Li Hui had no choice but to take action to save himself; waiting for the enemy to reveal themselves was no longer an option. Suddenly, he sprouted a pair of purple-red dragon horns from his forehead, and rules of demonic patterns appeared on them, sharply enhancing his control over his body.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Li Hui struck his chest with three powerful blows. After the third blow, his legs and chest began to writhe, letting out piercing screams from his mouth and nose as wood tufts rushed out.

A massive amount of wood tufts swirled in mid-air, drawing green fuzz and wood tufts from all directions, quickly coalescing into a hundred-zhang tall figure. With disbelief and wonder in its eyes, it gazed at Li Hui’s dragon horns and spoke, “A distinguished appearance? This is a saintly visage! But why do the dragon horns have Reversed Demonic Patterns? Damn, the leader of the Heavenly Talisman Sect is actually a Reversed Demon?”

“No wonder I couldn’t find you; turns out you’ve infiltrated my organs.” Li Hui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneering, “There are indeed many eyeing me. You are the first person I’ve seen who could cultivate the wood power of the Five Elements to such a level.”

“Hahaha! I am a Wood Demon under Ancestor Yan Jiao! I have come to this place in my true form to eliminate you, not a mere avatar you can easily dismiss.” The tall tree spirit laughed, the demonic aura roaring like mountains and oceans. In terms of cultivation, it was much higher than Li Hui and could easily break into the late stage of the Traveling Realm, employing extremely vicious and sinister means.

Li Hui felt deeply frustrated as the real adversary had yet to strike, yet so many restless demons and spirits had already appeared, flooding him with anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
